[ItsButterMonster]

he said fucktup 0:24 <3

[jafro6]

Pff mi sueño es ir a uno de estos festivales y verlos tocar sus grandes exitos...

[xXRoMpEcAmInOsXx]

This song has a ramones feel but i dont know why

[ibanezgeorge]

Awesome, I thought he'd sound like shit without the distortion on his voice. He sounds real good.

[MrSHAZAM1993]

Lol that anonymous guy at 1:43, it's too funny but it makes him a crazed fan which is totally normal. =]

[TheDreadbet]

the taste for rock'n'roll way of life

drugs and great psychedelics it's hard to explain.

[agih888]

Thanks to this song now i have a Girl... its kinda hard to explain.-

[larry46lurex]

0:29 - 0:30 ♥♥

[carlosaffwagner]

AMAZING!!!

[BusinessSocks101]

I wonder if he knows he is the sexiest person in the world.ever.

[TheMayronvictor]

he is just perfect!!

[misfits12o]

julian u sound so much better when ur wasted!!

[CL1993BTN]

Arctic Monkeys brought The Strokes to my attention... i love AM even more for that!

[OetamHDS]

*****

[griffin456456456]

where the fuck is the emotion ?

[AlejazeaP]

I would sell my soul for them <3

[Chacha5678]

when the fuck is an Angles tour, city to city

[frecklefaceabby]

oh god this gives me the chills, hidfgfrueirfi <3

[ThatsFreakyMe]

thanks to arctic monkeys i now fu''''' love the strokes!

[PapaFly]

@ThatsFreakyMe

Don't you mean. Thanks to the Strokes, for loving the Arctic Monkeys?

The Strokes made the Arctic Monkeys possible.

[ThatsFreakyMe]

@PapaFly

i know that without the strokes there would be no AM. But i didn't know the strokes before i saw an interview wtith Am about they said that we should check the strokes out

[amandafuckerzz]

He still fucking gorgeus with or without his sunglasses.

[MissCandyCool]

His hair looks so clean :O ;P

[16poffertjes]

could they PLEASE do a tour.

[itsbrennabitch18]

@16poffertjes They are! :DD

[ViewfinderVortex]

0:24 Julian says: "Man, am I so fucked up."

[marcelo9lokohabbo]

12 useless

[JennyWantsToRock]

i was thinking that was something wrong whit them... oh wait, Jules is without sun glasses

[Tima1995]

I love the shot at 3:11 so perfect. Oh Albert... ♥

[larry46lurex]

@Tima1995 is having an 0rgasm :$

[86THEMADHATTER]

Ya it would sound worse if when they pause mid song that no one cheers. Think they'd be like ''JESUS WHATS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE''!!

[619JohnC619]

How do you know they thought the song was over? They were probably just cheering. I mean, I would. I'd cheer every little pause I could.

[strokesfan815]

Xoxoxoxo the strokes

[RoryAstenBell]

this is lush :D

[sydneymae95]

julian is the only artist that can fuck up the lyrics and make the song still magical

[scorpionangelking]

2:39 wow lol

[MusicManiaacify]

@scorpionangelking HAAAAAAAA

[jonryanx]

i think the fact that its windy made this performance 10 times better

[rissathemighty]

With the camera angles (no pun) on Julian, the wind blowing in his face, the way he performs, his voice.... It's all just too perfect.

[aldotaka]

they look good

[youranmeofftheroad]

seeing this, same place, saturday. excited doesn't cut it.

[ByANGELITOxD]

:D

♥

[cindyaniston]

fuck, julian you sex beast

[thistlemunch]

@AbbyMarie87 He's not being a Troll. You're just being a dick unnecessarily. He's talking perfect sense.

[popsiclesuckers]

julian must have forgotten his sunglasses that day.

[baldyballs123]

roll on T in the park!

[MegaSkiittlez]

i love this song

[AbbyMarie87]

1:43 silly you don't wear a shirt of the band you're going to see. But. Since it's The Strokes you are forgiven.

[lespaulsarecool]

@AbbyMarie87 why? is that not 'kewl'. He can do what he wants

[AbbyMarie87]

@lespaulsarecool Oh wow! I said Kewl when I was five too! Now please carry on with your pathetic life instead of being a troll. (:

[tr0ubleskater]

i wonder if there has ever been an audience that knew the strokes so well that nobody clapped during the pause at 2:07 why does that piss me offf??

[robertbradshawband]

@tr0ubleskater because you have a short temper and its easy to piss you off, and chances are you'll reply to this comment. also, people clap/cheer to be heard and because stops are cool in the middle of the song, applaudable.

[icanpeeyee]

@robertbradshawband not cool when they think its over, them or the strokes

[thekillers1stfan]

@tr0ubleskater people are cheering the entire song you can just hear them better when the music stops because the editors of this video made sure that you could hear them

[CHIPOTLE10]

Canciones hay muchas, pero como esta pocas!!

[yelrafdivad]

This is one of my favorite live Strokes vids. Love the hair blowing, the fairground, the sun shining and Julian's voice at 1:33 ("I'm not like that") gives me goosebumps...

[nicolesuminlee]

this is brilliant !!!! 

[camilananu]

12 people do not like this

and that's hard to explain

[THEDARKKNlGHT1939]

2:38 LMAO

[BrightonBorn93]

T in the park the best carnage festival by far! especially in 06 with Arctic Monkeys AND The Strokes!!

Quality!!

[kathysoiio]

they look so young here...aww those daays... haha

[aritespa]

Wow 12 people have clearly never had difficulty explaining anything. Wankers.

[MaryKateSalva]

nickolai totally lost weight that summer.

[AbbyMarie87]

Jules is a sex god, I mean look at that face. Adorable. <3

[IKIEIEINAIN]

It's a festival. the crowd isnt going to be going crazzy for every band. im suree there all tired as hell.

[Profy00]

@IKIEIEINAIN dude you aren't feeling the music if you can feel how tired you are

[atomicozz]

Awesome! But no comparison to early Van Halen. Crowd look bored. Van Halen would'a drove 'em crazy!!!!!!! But there is no footage of early VH to show it : (

[forasec]

@atomicozz can really pit these 2 particular bands against each other? their styles are pretty different.I've been fortuante to see The Strokes,Julian (solo),and Van Halen all live.The Strokes are in my top 5 at @ #2.and I hate to admit that they were not in top form here by any means'.Van Halen was good,but I started wondering when it would end, Eddie lying on the floor 10 minute solo' outerspace sounds. see Strokes vid (IOW Reptilia)from this summer.It kicks MAJOR ass!!!

[anaandpaula]

12 people are just hard to explain...cause for WHAT reason would make you want to dislike this?

[pstrokeslibsarctic]

@anaandpaula because u want to be famous.

[rock0n316]

I think the truly great thing about the Strokes is that they AREN'T geniuses: They're just people and, hence, they repeatedly display how exceedingly good they are at relating to people.

[kienjie07]

they're fuckin' insane...genius

[d4goo]

perfect

[rockchickwannabe]

I would pay ANY KIND OF MONEY to see an 'Is this it' album tour.

[1324hh]

@rockchickwannabe i would pay any kind of moneey to see them live

[caleonore]

@rockchickwannabe well, check out the Reading 2011 setlist, almost all songs from Is This It were played so basically, yeah, they kinda did that already

[Marco1thestrokes]

LOVE Hard To Explain

[lollynutz]

@happytimeirish, I fuckin hate my iPhone it corrects everything! Rotfl

[lollynutz]

@tagsey94 and @happy time Irish no I couldn't of meant that, I was just saying... :b

[timoshs]

god they are sooooooooo good. cant stop listening to them

[lollynutz]

I wish Glee or Kidz Bop did this song, I really like it :)

[HappyTimeIrish]

@lollynutz That's like saying "I wish Hollister and Toys R' Us sold condoms" fuck that shit

[timoshs]

@lollynutz what the hells wrong with you? you wish a bunch of 12 year olds sang this?! that would fucking ruin the magic this song is. this song is perfection and no one can play it like the Strokes can. what are you thinking?

[tagsey94]

@lollynutz please say that was irony

[Trakstar84]

The best versions of songs are the ones where the artists have played the song so much they start doing things like this when they play on stage.

[dtangerine]

6 daaaays!!!

[Jokeette]

@dtangerine WHAT DO YOU MEAN 6MORE DAYS?!?! UR GUNNA C THEM?!?! Dx :O!

[dtangerine]

@Jokeette now it's: 2 MORE DAYS!!..:D...i'll see them at ACL Festival :D...can't wait!!!

[Jokeette]

[electricpub]

[p4cm4n182]

[DANIELAKILLNINABU]

sin palabras ... julian te amo

[MrsGandulfa]

Julian, eres más bonico que un remolque recién pintao. Ven a Albacete, que te quiero!

[sickdawg123]

what was the setlist for this???

[dnon75]

He wears his sunglasses indoors in the dark, but not while looking directly into the sun.

[vvikkzzskk8]

@dnon75  someone abously isn´t a pothead...

[chuy14nba]

@dnon75 I know I know but it is hard to explain :P

[janeswurld]

@dnon75 -.- xD you have no clue why he wears them lol really?

[182Imperial41]

@dnon75 Its Hard to Explain

[2egyptianempress]

@dnon75 hahahahah i cracked up when i realized what u meant XD

[XcobrasodaX]

[redstar5583]

[ragmeankill]

why are the strokes playin when its bright out  they have to be headliners

[NewYorkCityCopsBand]

@ragmeankill well judging by no1s reaction to julian saying the name of the song im guessing it was straight after is this it came out

[Vinny1574]

@NewYorkCityCopsBand No way man.

This is a 'First Impressions of Earth' tour.

Nick has real long hair and the FIOE album artwork is in the bass drum :)

[ragmeankill]

@NewYorkCityCopsBand well is this it came out in 2001 ..yeh .. and this is in 2006 .. i think just before first impressions came out .. they shud well be headlining by then with 2 of the best albums of the decade under there belt and another on the way

[Qualtis]

[HorrorApple]

[ScarletxCrimson]

"This is our biggest show of all time!" is what I think Julian says off-mic at the beginning. <3 Cute.

[ChristmasInMay011]

[missleli23]

[TheStrokesMan1251]

He sounds so classic and more enthusiastic =]

[fadoodle100]

that doesn't look like julian

[CoIorful]

Whoa, he's sexy.

[flowerpowertothemax]

i hate it when all girls can talk about is how hot they think Julian is. What about their tottally awesome music????????!!!!!!!!!!

[oiergasdn]

in the chorus, anyone understand a word that the man is saying? xD

[flowerpowertothemax]

@oiergasdn evryone who listens does!!!!!!!

[oiergasdn]

@flowerpowertothemax i was being sarcastic o.o

[flowerpowertothemax]

[NHL8924]

[yolo1998]

[pa0o0w]

Great song

Love The Strokes

[tinysolodancer56]

[TruthAddic]

[THUNDERSable]

[maruteketura]

They are unique. Only band i could ever honestly say "Yes, I fing LOVE them!!!°

[sunnydayhey]

Sun,wind & BEST BAND EVER

Thank God we have the strokes :))

[chilarito]

[STROKESandLAX]

i. fuckin. love. the. strokes.

[johaaannaa]

I SO have to see them this year. The new album can't be far away and the thought of it makes me more and more excited for each day,

[alkalinetrio751]

very nice atmosphere,summer,good friends,great music and the sun ready to set.

[imfrancess]

0:23 I'm so fucked up... :)

[dogsoncats]

@imfrancess

i think its

i havnt played this song in a long time lol

[angelies77]

@imfrancess 0:23 I can't read what he is saying at the very beginning, but the end is "show all the time"

[TheJelly1990]

@angelies77 he said ' im so fucked up ' . i think he dont really remember all the lyrics that is why he said that .

[angelies77]

@TheJelly1990 I disagree. He has said he quit drinking before this tour. Have you seen the Strokes live before? Example, watch a performance from 2004 and then to 2006, big difference.
