1:31 i don't hate him for having the abilities to play that ass hard part, i don't hate him for playing it live without one mistake. i hate him, because he has actually the talent to create such a riff and, as for myself, i'm not even able to cover it
@zehrasufian yes i am i just didnt know the name of the singer so i looked him up and it was julian casablancas and i didnt know that because he sounds different in Boombox than he does in any The Strokes songs
@gianlucanb you realize that what you see is swagger. it has nothing to do with drinking. the man would have that prescence sober or drunk. i guess we can think of of our heroes as having the ability to be fucked up 24/7. perceptions are faulty.
ugh im sick of hearing justin bieber on songs even like this...even if they're negative. he'll become a nobody just as soon as everybody shuts up about her.
@chrisMmckee Yeah but albert is really into it, hehe. Nick has MASSIVE shoulders and stands there like he's scared shitless but he makes it look cool...
@OSV2536 im from the us and i agree that the us fukin sucks at making music but idk if u noe the strokes r 4m the united states but they r the only exeption because all of them r 4m european decent so there music has a good feel
Seeing them at Oxegen this summer. Their spot on the bill has restored my faith in the whole festival. Once i see this live I can die a happy man. Though.. Hopefully i won't lol.
How can 45 people not even like this! Great live performance
