The Strokes - The Modern Age

[TheDeathonlegs]

It's a nose.

[TheArcticMonkeyMvM]

ofcourse it's a butt how can your knee be so big in comparison to your hand then LOL

[hellogoodbye875]

@TheArcticMonkeyMvM hahaha.

[Joelfarwizzle]

No its a womens backside that was the album cover released overseas in the uk, the album that was released in the us was changed to something less provocative like the 3rd grade water color used today

[shavis001]

ITS A KNEE CAP!! Open your eyes! hahahaha

[LADCUS]

@shavis001 if thats a knee cap, then thats a HUGE FWUARKING KNEE!

[shavis001]

@LADCUS yeah, maybe your right.

[katherinnesTV]

took me a while to figure out it was a butt.... Glad to know i dont have such a perverted mind! ^.^

[JanWey91]

@katherinnesTV Its not a perverted mind when u think what u see. It would be perverted if you'd say: "Even if it is a knee cap i'd still tap it!"

[MrRudyArango]

she has no ass

[picklezenator]

the most versatile band. ever.

[Joaovitordecezaro]

[JAMamation]

@JOLLYJOEY101

or a hairless armpit?

[StickManProductionss]

Most of you probably think that picture is a girl's waist. But it's actually a guy's armpit.

Cant.Be.Unseen!

[sirjeffreyful]

@StickManProductionss Than he has got an abnormally small hand :D

[sailorkatey]

@StickManProductionss It's a girl, said so on wiki. "the naked model on the cover was photographer Colin Lane's girlfriend at the time."

[bcfblack]

@StickManProductionss You can see the other leg on the other side :P

[tseconomics]

@StickManProductionss Wrong, it is the photographers girlfriend waist.

[maroonoasis]

@StickManProductionss doesn't even look like an arm nor an armpit.

[ProblemsInNumbers]

@StickManProductionss Except it can be unseen. Easily.

Unless you know shit about anatomy, female and male, there is no way you are going to mistake that.

[CheeseMonkey115]

@StickManProductionss It looks nothing like an armpit. I did at first suspect it was a person's knee (which it at least resembles the shape of) made to look like a woman's waist, but upon closer inspection, it clearly is a girl's waist.

[lethaldos3]

I prefer this cover album--the alternative is great--but this one has an element of audacity

[KennyIngram10]

@lethaldos3 I think the best strokes cover is the someday Single Cover! Its Amazing

[lethaldos3]

@KennyIngram10 I like that one too but this one is still my favorite--the someday single would be my 3rd fave--after the U.S. "Is This It" cover

[ladodgerfan22]

@KennyIngram10 i love the hard to explain single's cover

[WachaDrop]

@JOLLYJOEY101 no, because i would rather it be a vagina u homo



[backstabbath127]

@JOLLYJOEY101 Oddly appropriate, considering "The STROKES"

[hehehe90l]

I'm 14 been listening to the strokes since i was 11! still love them!!!

[forbritisheyesonlly]

@JOLLYJOEY101 I expect it. That's why I don't pop wood for things like this-at least when anyone's looking.

[chucochula]

Julian is probably sexist man alive

[thehognias]

@chucochula

You're going to hell. How dare you put Julian in front of Jesus? The bible says thou shalt not deny him.

[chucochula]

@thehognias fuck off you fucking idiot , im not swearing or saying his name in vain dumb shit so stop trying to pick fights over a dumbass youtube comment immature peice of shit get your facts straight && FYI i said "probably" SMFH

[Caleb61167]

@TheManofConviction i do

[TheManofConviction]

any one hear some deep breathing around 2:35

sounds like hes really into it

[THEDARKKNlGHT1939]

@TheManofConviction are you high dude?

[TheManofConviction]

@THEDARKKNlGHT1939 yeah

[Peacefulcat123]

@THEDARKKNlGHT1939 Are you deaf dude?

[BioXotic]

@JOLLYJOEY101 That'd give me a stroke :D...ha....haha...hahaaa....

[Forgetthenight]

My favorite of The Strokes.

[MUFCSalfordRed]

8 people are stuck in the 1500s

[nealedmondson]

@MUFCSalfordRed UNITED!

[nealedmondson]

@MUFCSalfordRed Shit! Europa League? Fak!

[michaelb3197]

@JOLLYJOEY101 It was alberts girlfriend I believ but in the U.S it is a picture of protonic colision in the hadron collider.

[Malambrizzle]

At 26 years old, having a taste in music ranging from hip hop, to classical, electronica, and death metal, I can't recall having ever LOVED a band like the Strokes. Weird feeling for sure :D

[crazyDiamond504]

@Malambrizzle I relate 100%

[HeyWheresKel]

@Malambrizzle their music makes them seem so tangible, so real. raw.

[phoney98]

@Malambrizzle i'm pretty obssesed with Joy Division myself<3

[PayDroification]

The choruses are completly different.

[soccerboys14]

stop to pretend; stop pretending

[iLUVindians19]

Any one else get a little turned on by julians breathing at 2:32

[tubeyouitsaccount]

@iLUVindians19 little bit, and im a straight male

[iLUVindians19]

@tubeyouitsaccount Awesome!

[Sephiala]

lol the top comments omg they contrast so much i laughed far too hard at that

[oasxdeadly]

2:33 love the way Julian says that

[Panicfan1234567890]

Lol that is deff not a knee

[looksi]

This is Julian Casablancas ASS! 

[Animebe95]

Sometimes Julian's voice reminds me of Lou Reed...anyone else?

[CreativeName96]

@Animebe95 nope, lol

[battlegate1]

@Animebe95 me too

[HouseofBH]

Must see.... VAGINA.

[chrisdickinson1984]

If it was a knee, that would either be a freakishly small hand, or a really large knee

[Carlino31]

Leabin jasss ennn tiiiiiimmmeeee!!!!

[evilleatherjacket]

I can honestly say I thought it was a knee the first few times I saw it, till my dad came round and told me.

[keef78]

@evilleatherjacket big bloody knee, lol

[alonsocdlp]

This remind me of the beatles.. Kind of "the modern beatles"

[AndYouKnowIt137]

is this song sped up? or is it just me?

[waaromeenusername]

@AndYouKnowIt137 It's just you.

[Lollie1176037]

AVA thats my schools name lol! <3 u jules

[Aluminumfoil666]

Love this song

[tracieturner44]

Strokes > Jesus. Sorry Jesus. It was a close one...

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@tracieturner44 thats like comparing one of the greatest singers/musicians to a 2000 years dead jew.

[minibilli]

@AngrypunkNaysayer LOL jesus is just not a 2000 years dead jew, he did more than that....

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@minibilli ^_^ lol glad you found that humorous. funny response too , "jesus is just not a 2000 years dead jew" , cuz i assure you , he is. ^_^ lololololo if you were to say ( jesus is not just a 2000 years dead jew ) we'd be on the same page ;) because he was a nice guy , a great teacher....but NOT the key to dodging inevitable hell :D

[DoubleAgent244]

this song puts life in perspective. The past and present, how it all played out, and all the emotions you felt on the way.

[THEDARKKNlGHT1939]

@DoubleAgent244 .

[MrBurgundy76]

@DoubleAgent244 also, it fuckin rocks

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@DoubleAgent244 your a faggot harry - lol!



[wallowallowallowlife]

@DoubleAgent244 full of shit

[hirziify]

has anyone ever noticed? if you're using your laptop, the screen must be lcd so, trying looking the picture of the ass from below.

[r89521]

this song is the absolute bollox

[skinnyjeans117]

Julian>god

[11xzxzxz]

It a fine song.

[21ricky666]

Is there a different version of this anywhere, or does my memory serve wrong?

[bobbayy]

@21ricky666 there IS another version, with a faster tempo. i actually prefer that one..

[21ricky666]

@bobbayy ahh okay that must be the one im thinking of.

[Ratis101]

awesome. Nick's solo in this song is my favourite strokes solo ever :P

[FridayNightDldoFight]

I like both the Killers and the Strokes. Why are we arguing about them?

[gogolplex74]

The Rapture and The Hives are the best indie rock bands

[ladodgerfan22]

i absolutely love the drums to this song

[MrMarcusdrew]

When I think ''What would 'The Beatles' sound like if they had the style of music and the technology that we have today'' I think of these guys. A 'mordern styled' Beatles, THIS BAND ROCKS!!!!!! (And their so much better then 'The Killers') :)

[afatdutch]

@MrMarcusdrew so much conjecture...

[MrMarcusdrew]

@afatdutch It hasn't been ''scienctifically'' proven, its just what i think.

[galnomeio]

better...its so better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[jross006]

the strokes and killers shouldn't be compared, the killers are just another band forgotten that hit the right genre at the right time. The strokes are timeless. truly.

[dianagalvan1124]

the killers only made it because their first album. then from there it all went down hill.

[brodohfasho]

And I thought I was white...

[abcdefuckyouz]

i just had to wack my air guitar out at 1:49

[Filiist13]

@abcdefuckyouz Hey! You're crasy! haha.

[ZenMaster1992]

Best song off the album.

[AmazonMonk]

That Solo

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

Longest tmie i thought that the album art was a knee , but i just heard it was the photographers girlfriend. her ass , not a knee lol

[nickfish93]

@AngrypunkNaysayer A knee?? hahaha :p But now you say it......

[TheMeaningOfWithin]

In my opinion, one of the best and unique albums of all time.

[NeonTiger24]

NOooOO! dont compare the killers and the strokes!! theyre my two favorite bands, and comparing them just ruins everything. theyre both amazing in different ways. let them be. theres no need to compare D:

[magicmark1292]

"Work hard and say it's easy" I live by that

[CarEdy23]

that guitaaaaar solo!!!!

[myatyc]

THIS is IT.

[michaelb3197]

1:09 is what its like to cum

[rissathemighty]

This is my favorite song of all time. Not to be cheesy or anything, but it speaks to me...

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@rissathemighty connecting with music is cheesy?

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

Respond to this video... or the phrase " it speaks to me" ? lol

[EspritDeBottineQc]

@rissathemighty I like cheese so dont worry :p

[brennan118]

If you thought that was a knee i have some bad news for you..

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@brennan118 ?

[SUPRA360]

@brennan118 what are you saying? is that julian casablancas arm pit?

[ilikepoo14]

@SUPRA360 IT'S A BUM, FFS

[jamalerymapajo]

Oh shit I thought the album cover was a hand on a knee haha xD

[Fantasynumber]

its an ass.

[ChatRouletteKiller]

this song just makes a person want to dance in the sun sun and have fun ;D

[MrLibertine505]

@69zemaria.. no The strokes inspired Arctics..



[electricladyland77]

is that an ass or a knee on the front cover???

[russianman07]

the Killers - The Strokes. No > or < needed. Both great fucking bands

[willprowse1]

@russianman07 i disagree as the killers went down hill after the first album however the strokes have constantly been consistant with their music!

[amberlover678]

Happy 10th anniversary to the greatest album ever made!

[SPRjesus342089]

I listen to this album from start to finish when I want to feel better. By then end I usually feel better, sometimes it needs another go



[gogolplex74]

OK Arctic Monkeys?

[tanters1]

@gogolplex74 The Strokes were the main inspiration for The Arctic Monkeys. And there aren't many bands better than the strokes at all, the velvet underground might be better in my opinion.

[69zemaria]

@tanters1 are you kidding? Arctic Monkeys took their inspirations from post-punk scene. And they´re much more mature and deep. The Strokes have a melodic pop-influenced sound

[tanters1]

@69zemaria wasn't talking about sound. “To be honest, The Strokes were really a big deal for us. That was a gateway to a lot of other music for me. There is always that one band that comes along when you are 14 or 15 years old that manages to hit you in just the right way and changes your whole perception of things.” - Alex Turner.

[etb513]

@69zemaria

I wouldn't say that the Arctic Monkeys more deep and mature than The Strokes in the least. First Impressions of Earth is one of the most mature collections of songs I've seen, although I do prefer their earlier sounds. Not that I don't enjoy the Arctic Monkeys.

[dude19288]

@69zemaria You can say that for some of Favourite Worst Nightmare and Humbug. But if you pay attention to their beginnings and everything revolving around their first album, you would know or would have heard them say that The Strokes were their main influence starting up. They started off doing covers of The Strokes songs, and stating that in interviews too. But I know that because I'm a big fan of them hahaha!

[69zemaria]

@tanters1 Strokes is cool, but personally I put Pavement, Radiohead, Interpol, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party and many other bands ahead and better than them

[tanters1]

@69zemaria oh my god.

[69zemaria]

@tanters1 I won´t argue with you over which bands are better, because opinions are opinions. I will, however, say this:

This cosmic dance of bursting decadence and withheld permissions twists all our arms collectively. But, if sweetness can win, and it can, then I'll still be here tomorrow to high-five you yesterday, my friend. Peace.

[tanters1]

@69zemaria loving it.

[Sashiieeee]

Best 1st album ive ever heard before :) Abseloutly brilliant! :D

[chrisdickinson1984]

The riff at 1:50, DAMNIT, I love it!

[gogolplex74]

The Strokes or The Killers?

Franz Ferdinand is better than both

british music FTW

[gwenie876]

@gogolplex74 WRONG! fail.

[TheCoolestKidss]

@gogolplex74 I am from Britain but I can except that all of our music isn't the greatest, sure there's a lot of good shit in there but who can say Franz Ferdinand are better than The Strokes?

[ryder433]

@gogolplex74 If you had said the libertines i would have been with you. But FF? c'mon son

[danlikesmusicalot]

@gogolplex74 i love the killers and franz ferdinand, but come on, the strokes will always be king

[ThinCrustPizza67]

@gogolplex74 LOL

[mook5555]

@gogolplex74 no.

[gootfootjeso]

i am originally the killers fan and love them dearly. the way i discovered the strokes is i looked up on google 'bands that are similar to the killers' and the strokes came up as a result. i checked them out and I AM INLOVE WITH THEM. i will forever love the killers but i just got to say the strokes are right up there.

[zayneinsane]

hahaha the killers suck dick

[kaidoctor]

i took to many, varieties

[amberlover678]

what an album

[Wales8686]

Good old Strokes!

[Sndrtj]

I always thought it was an ass.

[Brittanybaby10]

@Sndrtj it is lol they said that in an interview with nardwuar. he asks about the album cover and they said something like it was a picture of the directors gf lol so yeah.. its an ass xD

[rkscuba210]

wayyy better live!!!! who agrees with mehh??

[SoWrongItsMarissaa]

@rkscuba210 OH HELL YES. seeing them at sxsw this past year was the best decision of my lifeee

[willprowse1]

@rkscuba210 just saw them at beni and they were amasing!

[95railflip]

Ordered this today on 12" vinyl. my favorite song off the album :D

[siomusicchannel]

i just realised that could be someones leg. and not a womans body like. look at it carefully, the wee caved in bit could be the back of the knee. thumbs up, concpiracy;) haha

[DAWNITRON]

@siomusicchannel the hand to 'knee' ratio would be awkward. that would be so large.

[attempt4]

@siomusicchannel That would be the craziest, chunkiest knee ever. You a fellow Scot?



[siomusicchannel]

@attempt4 aaye i am haha. only way to go;)

[attempt4]

@siomusicchannel Too right!

(look at us... pretending it's actually good living here)

SCOTLAND! We're actually getting our 1 day of summer right now aswell,, first time i've seen the sun in about 3 years. This song+sunshine+exercise=amazing :)

[siomusicchannel]

@attempt4 shame im not there to enjoy it. away on holiday. hahaaa, i agree, have to keep up the scottish rep tho eh. keep the tourists flooding in(; though i must agree, nothing beats music and sun. theres something so comforting about it. might i ask what other music you in to?

[manable87]

ever think it might be a shoulder?

[THEDARKKNlGHT1939]

It is obviously not a knee. Where the hell is the knee cap then. No knee (no normal knee) is perfectly round. You can even see some of the, well you know what

[OurDailyVsAndBs]

The Strokes will always be great, im ecstatic about their next album.

[tubeyouitsaccount]

favorite strokes song

I've had the same favorite band for 3 years. After 1 day of The Strokes I converted to them. THE STROKES! <3
