[fodgd]

LOL at the way he moves his head when he say 'peace in the middle east, work hard to be good at something'

[Pau44506]

0:44 Not Bad

[plasticworld96]

Arctic monkeys and the strokes

BFFs

[familyguychick]

I love how Julian is so silly and goofy here and Nick is all serious. Sort of. :) I love them to death.

[thefrozenfirefly]

"Peace in the Middle East." HOLY SHIT, I LIVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I always knew it would come to good someday.

[luis3826]

NO! kanye met julian!!!!

[5971034]

this is too funny

[ThinCrustPizza67]

my music heroes right here.

[Maugolek]

@FLaiR791 1:19 when Julian says about Kanye "he actually said he liked the ??? video"

[FLaiR791]

@Maugolek I guess Kanye likes Tron. I don't know. Kanye sucks to begin with.

[kaiyalovesmusic]

When Nick says " In my butt where it belongs " he looks serious.Lol!

[LifeSoulAz]

lol I love how Julian laughs after Nick says "in my butt where it belongs."

[nicepine4]

i love how Julian keeps looking over to Nick for approval

[lindseyscrazyhouse]

at about 00:26 julian blinks with only his right eye. lol that was cute in a really weird sort of way xD

[madison7h]

"You met Kanye? ... No shit."

[anamulleer]

The Strokes hanging out with the Arctic Monkeys. That's the definition of awesome.

[LAKEN531ILY]

@marsailsaway but yes mosta the drama was caused by Nick!! But Nick is still AMAZZZING!! I WILL LOVE ALL THE STROKES FOREVER NO MATTER WHAT DRAMA THEY HAVE!!!!!!! :')

[LAKEN531ILY]

@Marsailsaway thats not exactly what happend Julian said that Nick wanted to use his song stuff but the record label said no. But Julian was in an interview and told the interviewer that and Amanda got mad and said stuff on twitter but Nick was prolly mad too! And Julian was sayin that he did mostly all the work in the previus 3 albums so Nick mighta got mad about that! And Nick was quoted on sayin that he felt a little betraied that everyone was doin their own solo stuff! But yes most of the d

[annieluvs1251]

@LAKEN531ILY I know this is months l8tr, but thanks for sticking up for Jules. recently, he seems let down by the other guys in the band..I think he always had felt so close to them...you can see it even if this older interview - he looks so happy to just be there with nick..and nick looks kinda "detached"..jules said he gave credit to the whole band for all his early music writing, 'kuz he didn't want any animosity in the band..and yet..it came anyway..not fair to him..he's a cool guy

[Calismooth9]

What song or video did kanye like?????

[itsbrennabitch18]

@Calismooth9 The tron video, so I think he means ""12:51"..great song!

[jadorieee]

I love when Julian says he's little but meaningful ''thank you'' at 1:04 :)

[marsailsaway]

@iKnowWhenItStarted

I know sad real sad

i dont wanna* blame anyone but

i do believe is someone's fault

and that someone is in this interview

*cough*cough*

[Sammi675]

@marsailsaway Whose fault is it? That sucks :(

[marsailsaway]

@Sammi675

Hmm Nicks ?

but they did say that

they are better now

n are working things out

i hope so i wouldn't want to see

them break up the Strokes

[Sammi675]

@marsailsaway *gasp* what did Nick do?

Sorry I'm new to The Strokes

[marsailsaway]

@Sammi675

Well he wanted to record a solo

but using the Strokes songs n Julian

didn't like that so there was confrontation

so i guess Nick got upset n started tlkn

bad about Julian in several interviews

but this was when Angles came out

all i know now is that they are getting along

n i hope they are cuz it be sad to see them split

[smd042501]

stop at 57 seconds

[smd042501]

stop at 57 seconds

[OHMANitsallain]

ohgawd, I love the way Julian keeps looking at Nick, for approval I guess? They look so close & get along so well here. & also the way he laughs and looks at Nick at the same time around 1.20 ish.

[xHARD2EXPLAINx]

@rubyhaleybenjamin Oh it's true

[KickenItOldSchool]

They played at coachella right before kanye not long ago haha are they just around him a lot?

[Mokeyfrog]

Dont we all keep important things in our butts...

[sentimentallyill]

Fuck yes The Strokes. And Arctic Monkeys. But just fuck Kanye.

[zamora795]

God i love how jules moves his head on 0:51 so sexy !

[iLoveJerryHsu]

in my butt where it belongs.

[cocochanell7]

@rubyhaleybenjamin haha hell yeah!!

[Dan5cerKa5t]

julian is wearing fingerless gloves :P

[molly1564]

@Dan5cerKa5t I read this out in the way it was sung in Boombox :L ahhaha

[psykostrumpa]

HAHAHHA LEGITIMATE

[cocochanell7]

i like the way julian says good real good:)

[MrAdrian7414]

"peace in the middle east work hard you could be good at somethin" haha

[thegiveawaysmusic]

Haha Julians laugh at 0:29 he's all like "ha, look how funny my friend is" :P

[Simonik17]

aaw, interview from back in the day when the boys got along and nick didn't say things like "i think julian was f*cking surprised his solo album didn't work"...good ol' days <3

[RETROFUTUR1ST4]

@Simonik17 Oh no! when did he say that?? Are they really not getting along anymore?... They seemed very close and loyal...

[Simonik17]

@RETROFUTUR1ST4 there's this huge cover story on them in Spin. I read it there. It's a pretty sad article and I was pretty pissed when I wrote the comment. I don't think things are that bad, magazines just blow things out of proportions. They might have had some disagreements but touring will help them. Did you see how excited fans were at the Cosmopolitan and at SXSW? they should know they're really loved!

[melovedisney1492]

Nick seems very serious, especially in comparison to how goofy Julian is in this video.

[luke8035]

I love The Strokes but saying "I keep the award up my butt where it belongs" was a dick thing to say. Also, I'm not gay but I think I have a man-crush on Jules.

[strokesfan1107]

@luke8035 well the funny thing about it is that the actual NME Award itself is shaped like a hand flippin the bird. So keeping the finger in the butt was kinda witty!

[TheBillieWay]

"in my butt where it belongs" xD

[venusazem]

oh fuck...i wanna have jules in my bed...now

[duhitsale]

THEY LIKE THE ARTIC MONKEYS gahhh why are they so amazing

[Strokeofluck12]

0:24 jules you're really good!!!!!

[AwkwardCupcakes]

i love the way julian says "legitimate" and how he laughs at his own jokes<3

[adrianamit27]

@carleyk5 Thank you :)

[WKUKAAR]

i love how whenever julian is asked a question about his fans he always looks into the camera for his words of wisdom

[Clawz1995]

The way he says 'legitimate'

[Karinekrenn]

@Clawz1995 hot, right ?

[ILMcarolina]

HELLO NICK'S EAR

LOVE THEM♥

[giselle21able]

Kanye is such an asshole. The fact that Julian thinks he was bugging him just makes him look so much more human. Because i kinda think Nick's god and the rest of the band are the apostales...

[adrianamit27]

0:38 ... become more like... what? (I'm learning english)

[glasslullaby12]

@kenkocarmenb

Kanye West

I dont think anyone else has the stage name of Kanye

[Titanicluver321]

i love julians little like hiccup laugh he does after he tells nick kanye liked the tron video. haha

[msr824]

lol Jules in fingerless gloves. And what does he know, four years later he's wearing some again and singing about them with Andy Samberg.

[angelies77]

Wow, look at the facial and eye expressions starting at about :49 There are some issues there. First Nick, then Julian after Nick speaks. I just totally notice things like this.

[KaitlynHooligun]

@angelies77 nah nick was drunk.

[anatvip]

nick the pony!

and jules is hot.

[tesspip]

the tron vid id the 12:51 video x

[sharks5678]

absolutely LOVE the way nickk says "in my butt where it belongs" all seriously and jules is just laughing (:

[ohhrichie]

legitimate :)

[MAGN00]

NICK CUT YOUR HAIR

[AHeartbeatGlide]

Jules even coughs in a sexy way

[shorty1804]

i love this interview.....so funny...jules is so hot when he says "legitimate"..and nick is hilarious.....i think his humor here is just a bit misunderstood....i noticed here how much shorter jules seems just cause he's standing extremely close to nick

[Ximenex]

what the fuck is tron? xD

[venusazem]

@Ximenex i think it´s a video for their 12:51 song

[muiness1]

@Ximenex Electricityscape

[tenaciousE21912]

@Ximenex I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not so I'll answer it. They're talking about the music video for 12:51 which looks similar to the movie Tron. They're doing some type of re-make soon.

[juliancisthebest]

Julian's just...so hot lol

[WeraDuran]

Lo amooooooooooooo! Cuando dice: "Good, real good"

Jules es lo máximoooooo!

[missleli23]

i think nick is the hottest ....even tho they're all pretty hot

[70person70]

They hang out with the monkeys? Keeping awards up their butts? Is there a way these guys could get any cooler?

[bianca4452]

i love how he says "in my butt, where it belongs" with such a serious face XD

[kaleidoscopeyezz]

did he say that kanye liked the "shaun" video? iono i cant hear him very well does anyone kno what hes talking bout?

[Karmaic12]

@kaleidoscopeyezz he said that he liked the 'tron' video, which was the music video for 12:51

[kaleidoscopeyezz]

@Karmaic12 ohhhh thanks yeah that makes alot of sense

[strangereveryday]

funny wow he mentions monkey's after talking about kayne

hope that wasnt suppose to be a racial slur

lllllllllllllllllloooooooooooo­oooooooooooooollllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllllllll

i dont give a fuck

[barbalatros]

julian's always looks so effortlessly hot no matter what he's doin. just love him lol

[TheTaylorAlexis]

i love how he says legitimate. lol idk why 0:39

[KickenItOldSchool]

Its pretty SwEEt haha

[upinthemgutz27]

"You met Kanye? hmm no shit" lol

[vanechavez27]

holy crap julian is hot

[dreamfuelz]

I like the way that nick reacts at 0:41 like

"man that was deep, not bad jules, not bad" hahahaha

[SSLYBY123]

I literally laughed out loud, when nick said "in my butt, where it belongs"

I love them.

[anamulleer]

i love it that they were hanging with the arctic monkeys lol

[scarryterry]

I suspect Julian was a bit buzzed by the end of the night. Just the way he says "Good. Real good" followed by a goofy grin. Funny interview.

[MsIndieRock]

legitamate! i dont know, something about that word...

[kaaaatelyn]

I had an orgasm when jules said legitimate. lmao. [;

[yolo1998]

'' In my butt, where it belongs'' ....awkward silence hahaha loves it!

[Kaaaaaattiiee]

such fuckin ledges!!.. i love how open they are like when jules said he met kanye and was basically rejected-how many musicians would admit that?!?

[slvrstnthb]

lol jules is funny.

[Drakomonkey]

the strokes was with the artic monkeys in that moment?

[Saetre]

peace in the middle east, work hard to be good at something

[dital123]

Who is Kanye??

[mohamyo]

NIck is tardated.

[TigerFrida]

good! real good! I LOVE THEM!

[sk8in4god]

nick valensi looks like jesus

[xmarstelx]

@sk8in4god he is jesus

[Pauicas]

@sk8in4god he is jesus lol

[msr824]

@Pauicas If only he had Jules' initials, JC for Jesus Christ.

...I killed it didn't I? lol

[MusicManiaacify]

@sk8in4god Fab looks like jesus with his beard

[murderxkawai]

@sk8in4god He is.

[irena2009]

they're so nice and polite :)

[rootygirl]

julian, me vas a matar ! que hermoso sos! jajajaja

[TheLastOrigin]

LMAO HE SAID "peace in the middle east" OMG THATS FUCKING HIII LARIOUS

[kenkocarmenb]

who the fuck is kanye?

never heard of him

the strokesss!!!

[xxJellJessxx]

he is kanye west, i think he's the guy that made that song 'heartless' or something like that

[JHF7217]

and is a huge fucking cock sucking bitch

[msr824]

You're lucky. Do you live... not in America? Haha. With shit music being mainstream in the U.S., I wouldn't think it possible NOT to know who Kanye is here.

[dital123]

mmmm... =P

[dital123]

I know who Kanye is but I don't like him haha and I live in Bolivia

[msr824]

oh hahaha got it. I don't like him either.

Man, Jules looks so good in this video. Very like..vibrant. He's glowing like a pregnant woman lol (like his wife is now!) hahah

[dital123]

hahaha yes and he's baby is going to be beautiful!

[kinkyale21]

I looooooove The Strokes

[TurbaTaT]

which video did he say kanye liked?

[exportiertes]

the tron video

[pdunny20]

which is 12:51

[nikolaistrokero]

12:51 video!

[DansLikeaRockstar]

funny that I really cant pay attention to what is nick doing! I barely see his reactions, I cant take my eyes of julian lol

[haidodaisuki]

how can a men be sooo cute?? gosh..it hurts...julians smile melts me

[yabodaflopa]

"You just met Kanye...no shit"

that was funny

[aleexGOgreen]

im obsessed with julian

i can't wait for a new album!!!!

[Tathiziinha]

of course they are.. but that doesn't really matter does it?

[gein87]

They are so HOT!

[watsaschiller]

no one cares, its all about there music

[gein87]

believe me... it cares!

even ...they really play good music =)

[coisinhasbanais]

LOL

[RussX5Z]

These guys play good music but they act a bit childish for their age. An award up their butt? What the fuck man? Can't these guys show any class? And let go of their ego? It can be a disappointment when you love the person's music and then whn you meet them they come off as a arrogant prick. I hope The Strokes don't come off that way.

[IndiePrincess94]

yeah, like you NEVER do anything childish..

and anyway, the strokes are like the most unego rockstars. since when have they gone on about how amazing they are, or somthing?

[misskiedischick]

kanye is stupid if julian was bothering him! haha

i would be like "oh no! don't go. tell me your life story" hahaha

hes hot, love the strokes!

[mayita9189]

When Jules does that little head's move... I get breathless...xD

[i0love0the0strokes]

babes!! love the interview!

[kinkyale21]

funny interview

[frankykid]

love druggy eyes

[TheModernAbe]

Funny thing is, I said "In yer butt" sarcastically before Nick said "In my butt where it belongs." in response to where he's going to keep the trophy.

I can see The Strokes are never above poop jokes.

[heytheremia]

hahahahaaaaa

"in my butt where it belongs."

[crazyfroggy45]

lol

"that tron video" xD

[a8008]

i find it quite endearing that the strokes fancies the arctic monkeys considering the arctics are such huge fans of them. they should tour together lol

[i0love0the0strokes]

yah, i agree!

[haidodaisuki]

when julian said "good...really good..." he looked at me!! :P I can't believe it!!I'm so happy right now!! :P

[micolevi]

jules coughs are soo hot

jaaja and i love his expresion when he tells nick he met kanye.

"peace in the middle east" jules rocks!!!

[chick3nyo]

ahh there so hawt! :}

[OMARCALLES]

oh men getting high to much, oh shit thats so bad, oh my god, fuckin pussy

[Fucabagman]

arctic monkeys are grade A band

[schlusselschwert]

haha, I like when they play around with the interviewer. There was this sort-of awkward pause after Nick's "in my butt, where it belongs", and then the guy just went straight for the next question. Haha.

[Drakomonkey]

nicks an elf? jaja yeah thats good

i never tougth it

[EmmaahDee]

I Love His Smile When He Laughs.

:)

[IndiePrincess94]

=)

jules' little cough thingys he does are sexy

[TravuhsWree]

That's probably from smoking and drinking and getting high too much. xD

[solders123]

sooo true

[b0rrol]

I did not know that Orlando bloom had a twin brother...

[InuTre]

i would like to be into u!! ahaahhaah that's perv... -i felt like i was bothering him a little bit-no way...- those two r meant to be together!!!!!!!!!

[Soldier500]

NIcks an elf
