This is definitely better than their cover of Take It Or Leave It. But even Alex admitted that cover was sub-par. I love the mutual adoration between the bands, but when it comes down to it they have different styles.
All the comments below are talking about Alex Turner.........no-one give a crap about the excellence that is Dev Hynes? He hits every note bang on, unlike Alex Turner.........
He has just killed the song. The crowd are more excited about the strokes song than the arctics songs themselves, the strokes destroy the arctic monkeys.
I love The strokes and like all of their songs, but Reptilia is a very overplayed song here in Mexico, don't realy like it 'cause of that, but this cover is truly refreshing, Alex gives a nice brit accent to this and i just love it.
@Thor24x no way dude. You can't compare Julian and Alex. Arctic Monkeys wouldn't exist if it wasn't for The Strokes. No one can ever do it better than The Strokes, not even Alex Turner, no matter how amazing he is.
@CMArctics505 he is just such an idiot and in all the interviews i have seen of him he has had no sense of humour and just been a prick who is just full of himself. i dunno what interviews you have been watching mate.
@MrImdonewithyou no, u dont get it, this is someone so shaken to his core by meaning in music that it actually effects his mood, and he seems full of himself and wont talk because he doesn't like to go off bragging about himself
what could be better two great guitarists/singer songwriters playing one of the best songs of all time: REPTILIA!!!!!!! by another great band, the strokes (y)
@clayb24 yeah, you're right. of course! (: i know who is who, but i didn't recognise Joe. but when i was reading those comments i had to say that it wasn't Greg Mitchel, but Greg Mighall. =) so yeah, you're right. ^^
love it, especaily when you consider they have not practised together once before. as k0k0jamb0 said its the strokes song, they will always sound better but still!
That he got hit by a coin or summat and that he was bleeding and stuff. And it's an amazing cover! Specially since, as LC said, they didn't practice it.
terriblemente BUENO espectacular!! buena cancion y mejor cover donde se puede ver la esencia del Rock que son los Pub y grupos tocando para unas pocas persona,Excelente video,felicidades-Congratulation is a Excelent cover,Saludos from Argentina!!!!
I haven't watched this in almost a year! The video that made me discover the Strokes. I love how near the end they mess up a bit and do the same thing twice :P
absolute shit. alex turner is great, the strokes are gods but lightspeed champion are just another generic product of the talentless hipster assembly line.
for some reason alex is bleeding from the forhead, listen to him at the beggining lol he is to i saw pictures from the gig... wonder how that happened lol.
