The Strokes - I Can't Win (Live)

[062941707]

their most under rated song

[TheSonorama21]

Nick the Stick.

[ShamusGarfunkle3]

I can't win, is by far my favorite song they have.

But that goes without saying that anything they do makes me want to get naked and run around in circles.

They're that good.

[ThroughTheTides]

I LOVE this band, I've been a fan for almost 3 years now, my only regret in life is not finding out about them sooner

[mrdaylight]

love the no audio! Or so low I have to crank it audio

[MsFla12345]

jajajjajaja se ven mui jovensitos y chistosos aun asi me encantann!!!!!! es de lo mejor ke hayy!!!

[dwightasian]

lol seems like nikoli always has trouble with this song at the beginning.

[MusicMan44144]

this is quite slower in the beginning than the original? still amazing song and performance!!

[sydneymae95]

the thing thats super cool about the strokes is you can put onn a live version of any of their songs, go to a different webpage and you wont be able to tell a difference

[MetalliDethSlayThrax]

does anyone know what this song is about?

[TheFunnybunny1230]

@MetalliDethSlayThrax trying your damnedest and not succeeding.

[MetalliDethSlayThrax]

@TheFunnybunny1230 well alright then! haha. thank you

[KickenItOldSchool]

They Opened with this at coachella few days ago it was great

[TADEU2121]

THE BEST MUSIC OF THE BEST BAND!

[mh1909sci]

the way it is + i cant win + meet me in the bathroom + you talk way too much = underrated songs.

room on fire is almost better than is this it

[kdavis0660]

@mh1909sci haha ALMOST, just almost ;)

[stranget92]

i still can't fucking get why they didn't released it as a single

[JCjustlike]

@stranget92 that's because they've got too many good song

[musiclineproduction]

i heard a lot of the people that attended this left like in the middle of the concert... never fucken diss the strokes u fucken bastards...

[longview1987]

one of the best lyrics to end an album "hold on, I'll be right back"

[MaryKateSalva]

This is why I hold my (pretend) mike, with my left hand.

[whitestroke13]

there is no bad song in this band, its fucking godly!

[timoshs]

God I wish the Strokes were still like this

[Greatguitarrist2108]

That´s a great song!!

yeah

The Strokes it´s a great band!!!

[missmarina4]

He messed up the lyrics -Walking on the ground you're breaking

Laughing at the life you're wasting. lol it's okay he's sexy and it's his songg.

[timoshs]

@missmarina4 Julian is known for changing lyrics all the time. Its not that he forgets, he just mixes them up a bit. There is multiple versions to each song

[ipi223]

@timoshs maybe he forget sometime too...its a human being remember

[KickenItOldSchool]

@timoshs Its actually probably just cause hes drunk

[ricecakes002]

so good!

[SilverHammock]

the riff sounds a lot like the smiths- heaven knows i'm miserable now.

[bigredd234566]

@SilverHammock

no it doesn't. that song is terrible

[mtslckts]

yeH

[facabella]

but really can julian casablancas be any cuter, charming or be more aware of them?

[sekhmet04877]

I´m agree with SeanieBlahBlah...It´s hard to explain...but I just can´t stop listening to this band...

and by the way...I can´t do my homework...It´s all their fault....The Strokes it´s so awesome!...I can´t concentrate

[rancidforlife1234]

@sekhmet04877 thats the same as me i've pretty much failed cus of this band but its all good :P ha ha XD

[SuciCasablancas]

Oooo,,I love this song!!!

This song is the Shit!!!!!^^

Julez!!!I love yaaa,,,,

[meganthemuse]

awesome, can't wait to see the strokes live myself

[colinniloc99]

he says hey philly, but the description says it's in jersey?

[kayak0055]

@colinniloc99 camden and philly border each other.

[facabella]

i love this song it so sad that its not better known they should play it more at their next concerts

[drawingmaniac21]

Omg I agree! This is my current favorite song to play in the car.

[franfrenfrinfronfrun]

0:47 did he fail at the lyrics??? LOL he was so fucking drunk so may be he did, anyhow i love this band

[franfrenfrinfronfrun]

i think he swapped this two parts

"Walking on the ground you're breaking

Laughing at the life you're wasting"

or may be it was on purpose

strokes ftw

[sexyaidan64]

im diggin albert beard

[Blossom352s]

the strokes are to awesome to be true

[bencc93]

their most under rated song

[rottenbananas69]

[guttatogold]

I agree...this is one of my favorites.

[97ros97]

[TheIRiShCaSaNoVa]

@bencc93 agreed....and under control...

[thekillers1stfan]

@bencc93 for sure I Can't Win, Between Love and Hate, and Meet Me in the Bathroom should have been the singles for Room On Fire

[SeanieBlahBlah]

Dear, The Strokes, Stop being so FUCKING cool! You're making it too difficult for the rest of us. Yours sincerely,

Seanie.

[Zefunker]

@SeanieBlahBlah Yeah I tried. Failing can be a breeze. I can't take that shit!

[MrSeaneriksson]

@SeanieBlahBlah amen

[andymccoy78]

LOFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIII!!!!!

Ha ha, grandi grandi grandi.

[DansLikeaRockstar]

julian's shoes lol did he went to the concert right away from a wedding? hehe

he seems so much yonger now than in this performance, it's kind of weird. but yeah strokes will rule for sure 2010!!! I cant wait

[12345thestrokes]

ohhhhhhh i . cant..... win! aw poor jules cant win!=]

[Eddyfilm]

they take the mold of standard run-of-the-mill indie pop and fill it with the coolness of the velvet underground, the heartache of Television, and the type of sleazy swagger that could only be found in a New York band.

truly remarkable

[ecrocksmysocks]

not to mention they actually know shit about arranging music

[guttatogold]

Very well put...nice comment.

[SlightlyLessInc]

nick is godly

[chilianchika]

julian looks and sounds amazing!

[azdin90]

[aleexGOgreen]

[paulbanks999]

[aleexGOgreen]

it's hard to explain.

[paulbanks999]

it was a joke

[aleexGOgreen]

i know..

so was my response..

gosh, i thought i was being witty.

[paulbanks999]

well Hard To Explain is still an awesome song none the less

[aleexGOgreen]

indeed.

[FishFinsHeatCats]

Hey guys keep it under control... lol

[AndrewThomasR]

[zepedrorock]

[anniewasbornfirst]

AH NICKY BOY.

<3

**please just trim your mane... It's sexy but c'mon..... c'mon...

[jarto08]

PERFECT!

[Xdanith]

the strokes are the best band alive to me, this song is the shit from the title to the chorus.

[facewrap]

Julian,Nick,Nikolai,Albert and Fab...they can takeover GOD...HAIL THE STROKES

[quaresmaidol]

amen to that!

[ratman411]

SUCH AN AWESOME SONG

they need to play this live more

fucking awesome solo again of course love nicks guitarism so nonchalant with whips of emotion and subtle aggression screamin on P-94s thru warm crunchy tubes

[evd81]

I agree 100? I love the "mount me" lyrics.

[strokesjunkie]

you know what I realized? other than their 2004 shows (supporting RoF) they don't play Room on Fire stuff very much except for 12:51 and Reptilia, I think that's because they wanted to focus on First Impressions songs and, obviously, Is This It, because that album is the best album of all time ever.

I hope they play this song and other RoF stuff on their next tour! I wish they'd play all of their songs in one massive concert. I'd spend my life savings to see that.

[bcw3360]

nikolai is so fly

[r3dfella]

so funny how you can tell exactly who everyone is when they are silholetted. Especially, Nick!

[strokesjunkie]

damn good song. gives me chills every time

[schlusselschwert]

oh, my god, Nick is beautiful.

[whathelephant1251]

i think julian is the best looking.

but both julian and albert have the greatest smiles.

nick is pretty hot though.. he's great guitarist.

[strokesjunkie]

Albert is such a beast. and I mean that in the best way possible. they are all gorgeous and talented!

[whathelephant1251]

true that,man. TRUE that.

[antsmarching29]

naw. this is Camden, New Jersey. but it's right across the river. so at the concerts, about 3/4 of the people are from Philly.

[eledrummer]

I love this song!!!I love the strokes!!

[NMcCann]

[AverageCabbage]
