i have had a youtube account for years , saved nearly 300 fav videos , seen thousands of videos and this is by far the best i have come across .. they seriously couldnt get any cooler. and Julian with that jacket ( i want it).
The solo in this song really builds up for Julian to come in with vocals ablazing. The solo also sounds really goddamn awesome. The solo is thus both effective and essential to the song.
what i realy love in strokes vids is that there's always a link of a sonic youth vid wich bring you to a pixies link wich bring you to the smiths wich bring you to oasis wich bring you to.... and you finaly felt on something like... uuhh i just can't say it here. AAAhh Youtube.....

anyone else think that when he says "1 by 1 yeah here they come" at 0:17 it sounds like 1 by 1 nigga here they come??... might just be the racist in me though tbh lol
@ farid : I guess you're one of those dickheads who judge a band only by the skill its solos require to play. Dude this solo is great. I admit it's not hard to play if you're a good guitar player, but that's not the point. Hate all the guitar players who just strut with their tricky, endless solos which bring nothing to the song. The Strokes understood a great solo is short, fast, and that it has to sound good. Who cares if it's hard to play or not ?
@IndieRockOwns: Exactly, as quoted by Nick "We don't put in a guitar solo just to have one." I love it how their solos are simple, yet brilliant. And Nick's improvisations on live shows are awesome.
@IndieRockOwns Bring anyone who can play a better solo and watch Julian take em out of the game (musically)... Music has no boundaries, this solo is perfect for the song so shut up. Knowing scales or chord progressions is nothing to having creativity. Thats what makes musicians genious. If u reply then I give up on you... U win... x
@SpiritsFighter Hahahaha, mate, ur english fails... I literally can't understand you at all... N im glad cuz sounds like ur talkin pure bollocks to me... x
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Do you go around your whole life trying to find people who look 'kinda like' Elijah Wood? Seize the day!
son genios de la musica,y en el estribillo de esta cancion las guitarras son sedantes,y la voz de julian ..la melodia..todo..maestros sin querer serlo
i think the strokes are the greatest group i have three of their albums and my favourite video is the end has no end and i cant wait to here their next album
DONT READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too late now that u started u cant stop. Tomarrow ur crush will confront u and well, ull see where it goes from there. and on the nearest friday U will be dating them. but only if u repost this to 4 videos. if not ur lover will leave u and u will be alone forever! and saturday night u could possably die! so hurry the heck up and repost this!
correct. also there are little variations in the "oh no"s and jules misses the beat just slightly at 1:48. this is the best band i've ever seen in recreating their album sounds live. for some bands that gets boring, but for the strokes, it really works. probably because their albums are so good.
Julian's apathy is somewhat irritating, he looks as if he'd rather be elsewhere.
And before fans retort by saying that's his style, I am merely expressing my point of view. I think it takes away from the performance, and can only ever result in mediocrity.
and before i resort to hunting you down, i am merely expressing my point of view that you are a shallow, uncultured cockmuncher. I think i'll take away your heart, by thrusting a blunt bread knife into your chest, and ripping it out before feeding it to you
This was when the strokes still smoked and drank.
