[MsAsianguy]

[shane10008]

@MsAsianguy I've never heard an old dog with a voice that good.

[TheUndercoverlatina]

@MsAsianguy Are you kidding me! He has an amazing voice! And hes amazing!! And hes got a huge legion of fans, which is a lot more than you will ever have!

[MsAsianguy]

@TheUndercoverlatina sorry that i don't like his voice,are you happy now?

[MrBrokenRadio]

@MsAsianguy You don't need to have a good singing voice when it comes to music.

[ljthomson505]

[mull20641]

[jesuzizinmybedroom]

@1.32 valensi, the happiest mofo on the planet

[VampireWeekend34]

this is horrible quality for 2002 i swear this makes it look like the quality from 1991 made it look better but anyway the song is BEAST

[DeeckyCobennon]

La mala calidad de éste video lo hace ver como si fuera de los 60's y eso lo hace MUCHO MEJOR!!!!!

[Thunderspaz]

Is this it? yes it is

brilliant song.

[jorgeceon]

me encanta esta song

[Niqoleh]

I swear the bass is incredible

[JG129]

I've never heard these guys before but I am a huge Killers fan and God damn you can tell these guys influenced the killers big time !!!

[fadsafda]

@JG129 no.

[anthandpete911]

@JG129 no.

[kvillage1]

This is a song that you show to people who dont understand what bass does in music.Remember this from like 9th grade.Wow.

[R2akaThuNDaChiCkeN]

[TheSkyCoder]

[drtobiasfunke11]

''where is my mind'' anyone?

[alongfellow]

@drtobiasfunke11

I hear that. Pretty similar lead. Totally different feel though. The Toadies "Tyler" also sounds very similar to "where is my mind."

[Dyonisos11]

@drtobiasfunke11 I thought  the same, bro

[ouuyeahouuright]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[nightengale379]

[RHCP1231]

My brother said this that song is boring. I kicked him out of my house.

[TheFrankMcQ]

@RHCP1231 Go chili peppers!

[rainbows2013]

@RHCP1231 Today, I told my sibling that Is this it, by the strokes, was a boring song. I got kicked out. FML

:D

[254jacksonpro]

@RHCP1231 Where he was immidetly raped by a pack of grizzly bears,servers him right.

[korabt]

@RHCP1231 Because he was right? :)

[Meatsucksdude]

BASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ♥

[azimchew]

surprisseeeeeeeee!!!

[reyreybert]

the melody in the verse reminds me of the intro to no surprises by radiohead

[MissingINo]

@reyreybert Exept for one note it's identical to "Where is my Mind" by the Pixies except played one half step higher in pitch.

[welpassos]

very good

[aecc035791]

should the strokes be my favorite new band? i just haven't found 1 song that i don't like from them.. they are so awesome.

[TimTehPilot]

this camera makes me feel like im in the 80s

[cstakolich]

[dianhazri]

[shreadhead96]

dat bass

[mikedrud]

That is EXACTLY how the Fender P-Bass is meant to be played.

[jorsalper90]

Man, if I would compare that bassline, I will compare with a MILF talking to you in the ear.. eargasmiiic

[MuseManiaGirl]

2002- Dressed all fancy and clean.

Present: Sunglasses, black, leather, sneakers.

I fucking love The Strokes.

[countchunkula]

@MuseManiaGirl They dressed like Grandpas 10 years ago and now they dress like teenagers. Yet they haven't aged a bit.

[MuseManiaGirl]

@countchunkula True :P

[mesinjahit10]

i'd do more than lying to get to julian's apartment..

[yourpainismygain]

"...Okay, one more time."

[federockstrok]

[RSLZaero]

Why is this whole concert perfect?

[Tarzipan58]

@bababoum lol i kno. they still look cool tho :)

[thrashfan17]

This was filmed in the 70's. Dont you know great music is eternal?

[KjGydell]

I made an acoustic, pretty unique cover of this song. Go check it out!

[azsx34]

love the bass

[yourpainismygain]

I love this band, so so much. Such beautiful song writing, I love The Strokes guys. I love them.

[aymyeyehurts]

I love how the guitarists start hoppin and bobbin their heads when the bass line first comes in.

[gtothebaby]

Julian just doesn't give a fuck, that's what's so awesome about the song/video.

[Tarzipan58]

the bass is sooo good

[SuperMv73]

am i the only one who thinks its ridiculous that i have to type some much as is thi for is this it to shoow on the searchy thingy. and ull never guess who was ahead of it. some song by nikki menaj. ahhhh. that suckss. shes hot though so thats okay i guess.

[Tarzipan58]

they are some serious ankle swingers

[bababoum]

@Tarzipan58 he's just lanky.

[DaniiDanger0us]

I love these "we still go drunk on stage" old rockstar bands.

[antocf100]

=)

[MichaelEagerStevens]

wow, look at the change.

[monkeyturdman7]

Aaaaaahh, back when they were still cool

[wolveteeth]

i love utube. comments. its better than facebook! cause music is so connecting!

[619JohnC619]

All videos from this live performance have the same friggin' top comment. I must say, it's quite absurd.

[goodcall14]

why is this one and 12:51 so motherfucking short

[NameMoon]

this song has so much intensity, feeling, and is so real, so human, and so metricaly perfect, so f... majestical and simple, so cruel and so true, and then this live version is the best imaginable. All the guys are really passing it .

[adrienheiniger]

that was the strokes…

[01Suchender01]

I like the bass XD

[gnarlymon4294]

Reminds me of the Kinks for some reason?

[moogpunk]

NUMBER ONE

[Italo56194]

great song

please come to Perú



[SuperiorSwagon1]

Best bass groove.

[ipi223]

10 years already crazy stuff..time move too fast!

[813pabes]

0:48 that base guitar is awesome

[statixfilms]

@813pabes learn to spell

[MrBurgundy76]

god i just love raw stripped back 70s style rock like this. rock is not glossy overproduced garbage. this is FUCKING MUSIC!

[lindseyscrazyhouse]

Hope you had a great birthday you beautiful album, you! :D

[ouuyeahouuright]

Happy Birthday Is This It! The Strokes changed my life C:

[DaCocoNutMan]

I want to prepose a toast, to 10 years of THE greatest album to have ever been made, "Is This It"

[bedouin9541]

happy birthday Is This It!!!!!!!!!!! best album EVER <3

[russianman07]

such a great voice. i just showed my girlfriend the strokes and she immediatley fell in love. im afraid she might like julian more than me :S

[pbandjsamich4]

Can't believe this album is ten years old! Happy birthday "Is This It." And thank you, the Strokes, for providing my generation with music that I'll be proud to share with my children someday!

[myconman95]

Today is the birthday of The Strokes greatest album, Is This It.

[lucasafonosorodrigue]

i dont like the way that albert plays ...

[ThinCrustPizza67]

@lucasafonosorodrigue well he still plays better than you ever will so get over it.

[interpolx3]

wow

amazing

[hairymarx]

Another contender for the most overrated band in the history of rock music. This is an album that consists of little more than familiar and derivative pop riffs and very basic melodies for the easily pleased and undemanding rock fan. The band blatantly rip-off the Velvet Underground, the Modern Lovers, Cheap Trick and the Rolling Stones.

[alriiiiiiiiiight]

@hairymarx eurgh, one of those knobheads that likes to insult a band while at the same time letting the world know about their musical knowledge. this is one of my favourite songs of all time, so please do me a favour and fuck off?

[hairymarx]

@alriiiiiiiiiight The attention span of a gnat. Some idiots are easily pleased.

[alriiiiiiiiiight]

@hairymarx ah ive tried a few times to reply to this silly comment, im not sure if it has gone through or not but hey. I dont understand why some people take the time out of their day to watch a video of a band they dont even like just to lend their crass opinion to people that dont give a shit. and to say that the strokes rip off the rolling stones is ridiculous.

[irishlad1420]

@hairymarx Another arsehole of a music fan who think they know everything and shoot down a VERY popular and talented band, whos album was voted one of the best debut albums, why come on here and shoot this band down, Overrated there probably one of the most underrated because they are pretty much unheard of in Ireland and the UK

[ThinCrustPizza67]

@hairymarx There's always going to be a dipshit who comes along and tries to make a pointless argument because he just can't accept the fact The Strokes are just sooo fucking good at playing music live and are just an overall great fucking band. Soooooooooooooooooooo just shut the fuck up and go listen to something a "demanding rock fan" would prefer you arrogant douche

[nokturnal5647]

@hairymarx I can't stand music-elitist pricks like you. I love The Velvet Underground and The Rolling Stones and other so-called "demanding" rock music, but The Strokes are great too. In fact, I don't see at all how they're "blatantly ripping off" any of those bands. And please don't compare Cheap Trick to The Strokes, because Cheap Trick sucks ass and is practically the definition of undemanding rock, which also now makes you a hypocrite.

[ihateukuleles]

@hairymarx the riffs are simple but the overall effect of them is amazing.

[hairymarx]

@ihateukuleles Thanks for refraining from the abuse directed by others. Believe me, I've tried and I just cannot get it. They are vacuous, boring and derivative - the latest fad.

[ihateukuleles]

@hairymarx 'The latest fad' is now 10 years old and going strong. Me and many others don't think they are any of those things, but each to his own.

[sisman4132]

Shame on you Julian.. You lied to that girl to get to her appartment...

[MakeUpHawg]

@sisman4132 he wouldnt even have to lie to get into my apartment...

[TheBlablafunny]

@sisman4132 lol

[SSawesomeface]

@sisman4132 its symbolic

[superharith]

@sisman4132 but he stayed for a while, maybe he cares for the girl :3

[jacobofunlivion]

@sisman4132 He lied to get to her apartment i think anyways.

[ColorfulHyena]

lol . 02/02/02

[Fad3ify]

just learned the bass line around 10 minutes ago.

i feel so majestic!

[OMFGgennypotter]

these guys are fucking gods.

zeuses or something. :P

[yubasstank]

my god !!! i couldnt appreciate that bass in room on fire!!!

[elizabeth86039]

ese bajeo esta bien vergas me recuerda a mis viejas tocadas pfff

[Joaopandao]

i always get f.... sad when i listen to this song. It is it's density, - it is dense ..

[Death2wrestlingBJJ]

That was beautiful but the audience thought the same

[muffinoid]

Julian is such a babe :3

[LuluHeeNim]

Jules is like so f**kable!!!

[BRoEING619]

well played



[flyingwurststulle]

i think the audience has no bloody clue what theyre witnessing there....

[elbowonfire]

@flyingwurststulle I dont think any of us do. The Strokes are a tear of happiness from the eye of God

[23whack]

i cant think cause im too fucking tired :)

[ThinCrustPizza67]

[Hellboundapparel]

[MrBrokenRadio]

@Hellboundapparel why?

[erikmode]

64 are gaysss jajaja XD

[dormanthegr8]

@erikmode Wouldn't being gay make you more likely to like this since Julian is such a beast? Stop sipping the anti-gaytorade.

[dancingwithcalvin]

Did they use those amps for practice? they are so small.

[wolfshipcaptain]

seriously, nick is so cool. he doesn't get enough fucking credit.

[Tima1995]

I also realized that the reason why they seem so skinny is the stage is lit from underneath so it only appears to make them look like they have deer feet. hahaha

[Tima1995]

I always catch myself doing the 'Nick Valensi head bob' ( 0:15 ) when listening to music :)

[DoktorSick]

when he came in with the bass oh shit that was pure genius !!!

[embong100]

mata julian...hahaha:)))

[angrygrunt]

i'm really happy they decided to record this show professionally

[Bloodeye359]

I cant stop listening to this music. its really magic.



[chegas08]

check out my chanel, there is Alone Together, Barely Legal, Hard to Explain, one rare Interlude, and the INTRO of this great fuckin concert!!. Dont suscribe just see the videos if you are a happy fan of the Strokes ;D

[IShudBeStudying]
