Nardwuar vs. The Strokes pt 1 of 4

[andtheBadSeeds]

Nick: I'd never chuck a beer bottle at someones face, unless they ask me a stupid question.

hahahaha i hate this interviewer

[jasminepetrarca]

OH NO D; is carlos 'n buds closed now?!

[xcountryrunner26]

I remember the first time I heard Julians voice and thinking it was the most beautiful life changing sound ever. Yes I find Julian very attractive but there's so much more to him and his music. Its intriguing!

[thebup1]

THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF MAKE BELIEVE IN THE BAND ISN'T THERE NICK

[nuramber]

Okay the look on Nick's face when he take the mic away after mid speech </3 Lol good cheekbones?! 

[nuramber]

lol Nick crosses the red light , and Julian is all like O.o <3

[nuramber]

lol is that how your really pronounce Jules last name or did he say his last name wrongXD

[heystayoung28]

omg i fucking melt when Julian says Casablancas at 0:45 *o*

[karli9767]

ooooooo Nick really says his maind!!! 8:39

[DESTROYER8Q]

Dx I don't think it all came out vvvv

[DESTROYER8Q]

I love how they answered the questions I think I get wat they're trying to say

Ppl r judging there music by there image by how they look, instead of actually listening to it

Example; Most of the strokes videos tht r on YouTube are spammed by fan girls who just watch them because they like Julian or fab or who ever but it's just cuz there cute

Thts y I always listen to the music first b4 seeing who they r , the image alters your opinion of the music smtimes

I've been listening to the strokes

[karli9767]

@DESTROYER8Q IT'S TRUE...YOU SAY THE TRUE...I like The Srokes for their music.I listen first the music and then I see who are The Strokes...and I say the true too...Julian and Nick are so hots xD...but of course the music of The Strokes is AMAZING and much better...and the music is the most important...ooo and thanks to every fan girls to The Strokes for sub videos...I forgot...too I like Fab n_n but you are in the correct...That's the people that just judging by the image ...not the music ;)

[angilupix]

Anyway Julian handle the interview like a boss

[nidhearc]

They really do have the best names ever!! xD

[jASMINElOVESpURPLE]

Ha I bet Julian was like fuck this is gonna be a long day xD

[jamesmartinwalker]

you can tell they really hate this nardwuar douche

[89reasons4steeze]

This guy is like my annoying little cousin who will not shut the hell up with his gay little nagging voice, he can talk like a normal fuckin person right? Jeez..

[wtfjader]

This interviewer is so annoying it's becoming funny already. Quite nosey though.

[paddynaramore]

i got the glove on the ass

[musicplusisobelll]

that interviewer is such an idiot. you can see that they're both starting to get really annoyed with him. he hardly lets them say what they are trying to say.

[vivalastephx]

his face at 8:05 kills me every time

[C454BL4NC45]

1:26 whoops! Almost lost 1/5th of the greatest band ever.

[kaiyalovesmusic]

I'm sorry but I dislike this because of the interviewer.

[xOxCrapWeaselxOx]

If you watch interviews of Julian now, he talks 100 x slower. Lay off the booze and drugs kids.

[Maugolek]

Nick reminds me of this guy in "Juno"

[brownteal21]

MMM MMM MMM MMM GOOD.

[IATIKa0tiC]

they take this interview too seriously

[corwinfreak19]

Nardwuar isn't jsut "the interviewer' hes NARDWUAR notoriously interviewing classics like NIRVANA and sonic youth! JESUS all you fangirls need to calm down.

[waynebabyyea]

come on nardwuar wtf is this?

[YunngRozlinator13]

this guy is annoying lol i mean i know its a joke but i kept expecting julian to hit him

[donteatthecrabdip]

@YunngRozlinator13 It's no joke he's a hardcore interviewer who does his homework and has since the 80's

[frecklefaceabby]

This is, this is too painful to even watch. If i was Julian or Nick, i would off slapped the shit out of that guy NO FUCKING LIE-___-

[donatella777]

julian casablancas ... he makes it sound sexy!! is like casabalancas, julian casablancas

[scottjosh50]

"fuck off, get out of my town arhggh agrh"h hahahahahaha

[MistermimeV]

9:20 when julian gets bored, smoke a cigarrette and...drink a shot of tequila?

[OxylOnpani]

I don't know why, but I expected them to be british!

[LIBERTINEPARANOIC]

fuckin pousers

[mahavishnuxc]

@LIBERTINEPARANOIC and what exactly are they posing as, "guys who dont care about anything".

[LIBERTINEPARANOIC]

@mahavishnuxc exactly, they are pousers

[mahavishnuxc]

@LIBERTINEPARANOIC how can someone who doesnt care about anything be a poser? Thats an oxymoron.

[keeleypearl]

I hope I never hear the word "like" in an interview again.

[navebouvier]

i turned 14 that day hahahaha

[cyrustheheman]

MMM MM MM GOOD!

[jayslobb793]

Don't "bother with him"? I don't even know him. Like he gives a fuck what I'm saying, and like I give a fuck about that. And I know he always mumbles, hence why I say he's ridiculously boring.

I don't see how Nardwuar was asking stupid questions, he was asking musical questions, not being your typical interviewer and sucking him off. But I guess you'd rather watch musicians/artists get asked the same old trite, redundant questions. It seems that's what Julian would have preferred as well.

[marianelidaa]

i love the way julian laughs at the 8:47 joke

[jayslobb793]

I hate this interview.

Thirty minutes of Julian mumbling, and acting like an asshole. Oh yeah, he's a laid back guy? Yay. He's still fuckin' boring.

[TheSasquatchAssassin]

@jayslobb793 What? How is he acting like an asshole? And julian always "mumbles". Nardwuar asked pretty stupid questions and Julian replied like that because he was annoyed. If you find him boring don't bother with him....Pretty simple.

[jayslobb793]

@TheSasquatchAssassin And that's life, friend. You don't like someone/something, you spout your opinion. Out of necessity, of course. But you know what? On that note, we're on YOUTUBE. So necessity isn't a factor. You don't like me saying bad things about this boring pompous guy, then too bad. Nothing can be done about that.

Or maybe there can be... It's rather a simple solution too... How about don't bother with me? It'd save you some time, to be honest, bud.

[TheSasquatchAssassin]

@jayslobb793 I wouldn't have to bother you if you just didn't bother with watching this video. You didn't have to bother with replying to me. bother bother bother bother. if you find him boring and pompous, fine, leave him out of your life. Don't bother with him. I just find it stupid that you feel the need to insult him. You feel the need to go on to a video that you hate and express your hate so that you can spark an argument. It's just dumb to me. Dumb and pointless.

[jayslobb793]

@TheSasquatchAssassin Well then let's make this the last reply, and let's hope that this is the one that gets the point across and makes you understand. This is YOUTUBE, where you view things you don't like and talk shit about them, and I just so happen to be on that bandwagon. So you can express how dumb, childish, and pointless it is to you, but it's not going to go nowhere.

Because, at the end of the day, I like talking shit about assholes.

[themordenageex3]

at 3:50 jules is like , oh fuckery somebody shoot me

[mahavishnuxc]

@themordenageex3 he has that look all the fucking time, ive never really seen him smile.

[supak108]

is this before "is this it" because thats what it seems like.

[lothariam]

@supak108 Yea this is when they were promoting the album and touring around

[raddestgirlEVARR]

"FULL NAMES, PLEASE JULIAN. THE FULL NAMES. I LOVE YOUR FULL NAMES."

My name is GTFO, please do so.

& sorry I don't get the "beauty" of his interview. If I were them, my eye'd be twitching. It is so freaking hilarious XD

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm GOOD!" <- worse than the Campbell slogan

[NaomiAndBeatles]

Jules face at 3:50 its like: "OMG whAT the fuck!! fucking man... " hahahahah

[aznkid2353]

i think ive just seen who the radio guy in the "Juicebox" music video is based on

[saiAhikaru]

these guys are my heroes :D

[jonryanx]

so much truth 7:33

[kayisforkivlen]

this interviewer is annoying as shit. ohmygod.

[strokemyarcticmuse]

Aww poor Nick. He looks crushed

[ims0coolnotreally]

"Fuck off, get out of my town..."

[MindstormRecs]

I don't know how they're keeping straight faces, the interviewer is hilarious. I want to hear the full names! Mmmmmm! lol

[yourpainismygain]

I like the glove on the ass. I think it's one of the greatest album covers. lol this interview man. You listen to Nick or Jule's voice, and relax, and then the interview talks and your blood pressure rises lmfao.

[rhcpphreak20]

I've always watched Nardwuar as a Canadian, but god he pisses me off.

[xHAiiCHx]

howard stern is the only way to go!!!!

[Kingofthecowsable]

I'd punch that twat square in the face. Most annoying interviewer ever.

[juiceitwell]

NARDWUAR!!! What a cool guy!

[SocialLoserr]

People made fun of them back then like those girls and that guy did, & look how fucking big they got. Happy Birthday Jules! ♥

[Jennilovebean]

FINALLY someone put this loser on check!! check out Nardwuar get punked by BLUR hahahahaha

[LittleBabyJacob]

He ignored half of their statements....

[lothariam]

at 8:07 Julian gets the most pissed off look on his face haha, I feel so bad for them

[LoveDiamandis]

the interviewer is a dick. i don't care if this is his 'style' of interviewing, he's being outrageously ridiculous.

[JustAnotherTeenagerr]

This interviewer can fuck off.

[DillingerEscapeMan]

@JustAnotherTeenagerr No you can

[lopaje]

6:56 nicks says "like" way too much.

[yourusernamehere2]

lol Strokes fans are gona have a stroke watching this intervew, CTFO guys.

[marioruiz15]

aye where can i buy some tight ass pants like the ones that nick is wearing

[JulioCPP]

I love Strokes but you guys don't get the beauty of the Nardwuar interviews. It's sad to be a Strokes fan knowing that the rest of the fans are as stupid as the people commenting here.

[lothariam]

@JulioCPP I watched his other interviews, he's actually pretty nice to most people. But when he started taking shots and their personal life, they should've punched him in the face

[originofangles]

@JulioCPP Thanks for calling everyone here stupid, because ALL strokes fans must be idiots, of course.

[Redfoxx4eva]

@JulioCPP i get what nardwuar is doing. but its annoying and he dosnt have ta do it that way, which make me hate him more...you can get a good interview with out being a nardwuar.

[valovalovalo]

@JulioCPP Please dear sir, please help me understand the beauty of the Nardwuar interviews. Cos after watching all four parts, I seriously think this guy should die and make room for more sane interviewers.

[campcatallie]

FUCKING WEIRD INTERVIEWER..

[StrokesFan621]

That interviewer needs to shut the fuck up and chill.

[ThinCrustPizza67]

3:35 is the perfect example of an ignorant douchebag.......and what the fuck does howard Stern have to do with anything?....what a dipshit.

[zestroker1]

3:55 the sweetest bit in the interview....nick is stroking Jules' leg to calm him down.... :D

[ARTsmacker101]

@xBriiittaniiix exactly!

[ARTsmacker101]

"I'll never chuck a beer bottle at someone's face unless they asked me a stupid question" -Nick 8:47

[gregishme69]

i seriously cant watch this shit due to the interviewers enthusiasm... fuck 

[kayeatsurbabies]

wait wait wait so this guy is the human napkin?

[lunchboxattacks1]

I like Nardwuar's style. He does his research, asks interesting questions and also appears to be interested in the artists that he interviews. Even though he's quite loud, he actually lets his subjects talk and finish their thoughts and statements whereas many interviewers just love to talk themselves and will cut off their subjects mid sentence oftentimes. Finally, abrasive style helps to bump his subjects out of that interview auto-pilot.

[pureheart92]

@lunchboxattacks1 I don't get how you think that during this interview. While i was skimming through the comments, i keeping hearing Nardwuar cutting off both Nick and Julian shamelessly. Not only that, he keeps bringing up controversial questions that the strokes, in general, tries to step away from. I mean, high cheek bones? Nardwuar wasn't that great in this interview.

[shredderchick23]

oh man... jules looks like hes going to EXPLODE

[litavanegas12]

man if this guy were interviewing me, id be taking shots and chasing them with beer too!

[KevinJonathanGomez]

5:28 what is jules doing xD

[melfaery]

@KevinJonathanGomez i didn't even notice that until now LOL he's rubbing his teeth i guess? awww

[KevinJonathanGomez]

@melfaery i know right lol aww for julian! :)

[iamgoos]

Oh my god.. This is amazing! The interviewer is annoying and i cant believe that guy bad mouthed the strokes.. But i love this!

[FreewheelinLibertine]

How were the strokes portrayed back then by the writers? Like how did they paint them as assholes?

[melfaery]

@FreewheelinLibertine the strokes were portrayed as talentless, elitist pretty boys who only got popular bc of their connections. keep in mind this interview was before the strokes blew up, so nardwuar mistakenly thought the same thing & was therefore more disrespectful towards them than usual. yes, this is his schtick, but look at his interview with nirvana. he's not disrespectful to them at all. it's obvious, he thought the strokes were a flash in the pan.

[jadeely]

3:35 What the fuck?!!! asshole!

[evildude298]

Nice. Check out Julian laugh at Nick saying that he'd only throw a beer bottle at someone who asks him a stupid question. They're both taking the piss out of this laughable man "interviewing" (talking shit at) them.

[horaceraskins]

that interviewer was fucking intrusive - i would have smacked him in the face.

[lindseyscrazyhouse]

what the actual fuck is wrong with this interviewer

[FreewheelinLibertine]

sorta mad that he sorta cut jules off when he was getting sorta deep with that record company.

[sarahsmiless]

5:53 julian looks so pissed ahahaah

[aabuali85]

you can tell nick amd jules were getting pissed

[FLaiR791]

Ha, that's the shirt that that Julian wore in the Last Nite music vid..

[MEAGANsullyIScool]

Nardwuar is the greatest interviewer ever! The Strokes are awesome which makes this video Super Rad!

[cocochanell7]

when jules says red light it reminds me of the song red light haha

[xZyXEL]

Lol nick is so funny:P

[GuinTheKimmiDoll]

That interviewer is such a douche. At 3:51 you can just see that by this stage, Julian's thinking "Oh god save me."

[toberichmoe]

he may be weird but nardwuar interviews all the good bands

[therealkatiemartin]

I'd chuck a fucking beer bottle at this interviewer's face.. I was just cracking up the whole time because how can this guy take himself seriously? How can Jules and Nick not be cracking up at this weirdo?

[madison7h]

This interviewer is a fucking ass.  Stop being a troll and trying to make Julian and Nick uncomfortable.

[madison7h]

3:59 Julian is like STFU.

[UnrecycleRubdish]

This interview could be in two parts if you eliminate all the "likes"

[kennedy1251]

nardwaur is a fucking dude// hes a really gd interviewer. In this tho he seems a bit cuntish// like he has being sodomised by ronald mcdonald just before the interview.

[redheddd]

deeep

[whajaat]

Julian is so pissed. Julian the super angry Spanish fox.

Nick: "I would never chuck a beer bottle at someone's face...unless they were asking me stupid questions."

[whajaat]

5:09 ..that waiter guy hit his head on the umbrella. xD

[Metroid00x]

What a douchebag... Jules and Nick don't deserve this...

[lukabery]

3:35, seriously? fucking douche with a tiny dick. i respect peoples opinions but thats just plain retarded.

[Tima1995]

This interviewer is such a dick . What the fuck is wrong with this obnoxious turd. So rude.

[lulailu]

"Fab Moretti, ha ha ha" I laughed so hard omg

[fosterthebassist]

I can see his point really got through with you guys... :/

[astaliini]

OHMYGODIJUSTDIED.

[Bbyboots27]

Julian should have picked this guy up and threw him like he does with the mic stands.

[jadorieee]

I hate this interviewer.

[youmoko]

whys nard being suck a douche? he is usually respectful and chill...man fuck him this is my fav band

[marz995]

8:05 julian looks pissed!!

[TanJarin303]

so so SO fucking sexy! JULES!!! AHHH!! <3

[soundcipher]

I can't believe this inane douche actually received such introspective and honest responses. It shows how willing they were to get their messages delivered, even through the most imbecilic of messengers. I would have punched the interviewer in the larynx.

[Modzio666]

omg that interviewer is a fuckin twat

[cindyaniston]

the interviewer is a fucking weirdo

[EgyptianSpaceOddity]

@cindyaniston The interviewer's a fucking legend.

[maqnchs]

@cindyaniston the interviewer is a legend. He does the most research out of any one else

[shootinthemoonX]

I love the part at 4:13 lol he sounds so frustrated

[atthemodestyouth]

how are the people behind them at 5 minutes just eating, I would be screaming like little girl!

[pattiepattie123]

Julian is sooo FUCKING CUTE<3<3<3<3

[ilovegarlic77]

Nardwuar > these pretty boys

[TheSonorama21]

Julian looks SOOOOO ANGRY at 8:04

[r3dfella]

in spite of all the obnoxious questions from Nardwuar, there is actually some really interesting content here from Julian and Nick. -It's neat to see how they were before thier big release of "Is This It" and how they felt about the industry and tension and the so-called "bullshit" from the press and overall their ability to stay levelheaded and focused and not let the whole thing fall apart before it became something great. It must have been a wild ride, glad they made it thry alright.

[greenJems]

9:25 Julian was like "I'm going need more alcohol to get through this interview lol

[bungaastiti]

the red light thing was hilarious

[BillyCrombie]

@bungaastiti I like to imagine the strokes song red light was written about that

[MissSophieMusic]

That's what I did. Heard the music first, loved the people later.

[Titanicluver321]

True stroke fans would know that this is completly normal behavior. Nardwuar is the weirdo..

[terloin20]

oh my god. total gongshow, nardwaur just ruined that shit lol

[n0thank7]

I can't tell... Do they ACTUALLY have no sense of humor, or, like...?

[empirehorn]

why so serious?

[samchad27]

Had these guys ever seen a Nardwuar interview before? lol

[ob3ypr1mus]

nardwuar is a fucking legend, all you butthurt stroke fans should get a clue and get bent.

[w1ldtr1ck]

this interview sucks, why is julian taking this guy seriously. it's humiliating

[MzGGStudios]

Nardwuar... go die in a hole :) please and thank you.

[stgm]

Ahh, I remember the Strokes. Those guys who did one good song a few years ago and got the honor of being interviewd by Nardwuar.

[sassyone10]

@stgm @stgm 1 good song a few years ago? Um, I don't think so. Ten years after their debut, the Strokes are still headlining every major music festival in Europe this summer while playing a multitude of great songs. So. Sit. Down.

[stgm]

@sassyone10 Yeah but they still suck.

[Allureist]

@stgm "They only have one good song"

"the Strokes are still headlining every major music festival in Europe this summer while playing a multitude of great songs."

"..yeah but thye still suck"

Great argument man.
