The Strokes Sing "Gratisfaction"

[sofony12]

PAPASITO!

[HungryForTheMusic]

fab's just drummin like a badass<3

[fofoberry91199]

Julian has the second greatest voice I've ever heard...the first is Freddie Mercury from Queen

[itsbrennabitch18]

@fofoberry91199 Agreed! :D haha

[sarastartv1]

I love this song

[ishosoi]

I see only two actual strokes. who the fuck are the rest of those guys? wheres fab and nick and albert?

[homierub]

@ishosoi Lol stop, now. You're way too funny for youtube

[cbo1188]

@ishosoi Son todos los mismitos... cambiados un poco pero los de siempre

[weewee123456]

That is so perfect I can't believe it.

[lookmisvideos]

drums are coool

[MsBianunes]

Those are Julian's uniform !

[AMAGAD911]

i'm just praying that some of their coolness wares off on me...

[TheFoolOnTheHillIsMe]

@miguelitaxxx you copied that comment from another live video

[spateeight]

Thin Lizzy?

[fodgd]

@spateeight no, the strokes .-.

[gacbaf]

I WANT NICK'S JACKET!!

[fodgd]

@gacbaf i want julian's body! Ahahahahaha

[violettonokissu2313]

I wanna be that microphone *w*

[jules12260]

Fabrizio is playing the drums like a boss!!! 

[TheFernando0311]

The Strokes obviously was inspired in pop music of the 60's and 70's, specially in this song it's very similiar to The Rubbetes - Sugar baby love or The Foundations - Build me up Buttercup, it's a very beautiful song, reminds my family and past

[evilleatherjacket]

i like how some wear suits and some wear tee shirts and ripped jeans.

[spidart182]

they allways play live!!!!!

[TheSaddsdaify]

the strokes é foda

não existe musica feia deles

[oacboacb]

I love Fab's flair in this performance. And how it looks like he's trying to look like Julian lol

[bestmusiclists]

nickoli just wears whatever he wants

[ThisisPilla]

always a genius



[uberbigbread]

queen

[XxD3a7hr3b0rNxX]

Just replying to some of the critics who posted comments on my wall. I know their not punk in the traditional sense. Their not The Stooges, The Ramones, The Clash who set the trend but when they arrived on the scene they were edgy and had distinct New York bravado/Punk appeal!

[cosmotiggy]

They started out with raggedy dress clothes, skinny jeans, and dress shoes

Now they're rocking RayBans, Leather jackets, and yellow Nike Dunks...

I love my favorite band.

[Allureist]

@cosmotiggy People will change alot in ten years.

[drhouse4c]

Contrary to popular belief, Nicolai, not Julian, gives the least fucks.

[FemmeFatalee]

@drhouse4c it's Nikolai...ha!

[rocksation]

this is so Queen vibe!!!

[junninhosantos]

*-*

[NeroTXK]

Fab looks cool as fuck.

[drmedborn]

wtf happened to the strokes?!

[cladiaz1]

fab is smiling all the time .... great!

[thefrozenfirefly]

This is just like the music from This Is It. I still love Angles nevertheless.

[j8666]

@thefrozenfirefly their first album was called is this it not this is it just to let you know

[EmHenn11]

Nick's wearing leopard? Hahahah

[thefrozenfirefly]

@EmHenn11 Yeah, sorry, I made a mistake (:

[beatlesssssssssss]

This song reminds me of summer 2011.

[DaddyOD13]

@beatlesssssssssss Ah, the good old days.

[beatlesssssssssss]

@DaddyOD13 ....and drinking a litre of coca-cola, imagining fab's red coke shirt... lol just a random flashback :D

[SimaoPBT]

I can understand what Julian says! Nice performance, my favourite band :)

[fodgd]

WE'RE NEVER GONNA GET JULIAN, AND WE COULD ONLY BLAME JULIET! lol

[fodgd]

B) - here's julian wearing glasses for you.

[javiloba]

this is f*cking music man

[tiagoalen]

fucking glasses



[TheFoolOnTheHillIsMe]

It's songs like this that make me want to go out and buy a leapard-print jacket <3

[BoReilly2]

i like ellen more now that i know she likes the strokes

[Franciscaaa0]

por qe tan lindos

[fodgd]

@Franciscaaa0 i ask myself why every day...

[holdenhatesphonies]

They are so good live, even better than the albums. I love Albert's shirt and it's so awesome when Nick wears the cardigan he wears in the Taken For A Fool video.

[CherubHorse]

His voice is UNCHANGED from the album. Great to know that there's no stupid auto-tuning for people who suck at singing and only have good looks.

[56782010]

Hey Ellen, many ppl have told me I sound like a female vers.of "The Stokes" not to mention a label in Nashville was going to sign me last year then didn’t, needless to say it was a hard thing to go though...i.e.getting stoked to get something I have been working hard for over the last 8 years & than didn’t get, anyways "the strokes" album helped me through that time but even more important I kept going with My music career...what do you think of my NEW Music Video, click 56782010 :) Thanks,Alana

[MultiColourMarissa]

The Strokes are my favorite band ever. can't even explain how much i love them<3  Thank you so much Ellen for having them on the show, you're the best

[zildjian017]

@MultiColourMarissa Dont you mean its "Hard to Explain" Hahahaha

[MrConorMackinnon]

@MultiColourMarissa Yes its very "hard to explain" ha ah aha haha aha

[XxD3a7hr3b0rNxX]

The Strokes have defined and personified the punk movement...great song and a spot performance!

[TheFuckingVicious]

@XxD3a7hr3b0rNxX The punk movement? Ahahah! What the fuck do you know about punk? Hilarious...

[moogpunk]

@TheFuckingVicious your name looks like death boner

[jsanclementeB]

@XxD3a7hr3b0rNxX are u kiddin' me? theyre garage rock revival!! not punk

[fodgd]

@XxD3a7hr3b0rNxX they're indie sweetie, punk is early green day, for example.

[MapOfCydonia]

@fodgd They aren't punk but they are not 'indie', sweetie, rofl.

[fodgd]

@MapOfCydonia sorry but i saw a interview which julian said that he might have opened doors to indie musicians...

[pandoralily]

Nice, I love this song and I love Julian in this those sunglasses, awesome :-)

[o0debs]

Holy shit if i was here i would love ellen, like cmon, its a freaking talk show and this is live, good live....like concert ticket worthy. ellen your a badass.

[strokesfan815]

GET UP IN THE MORNING AND RUN

[kaiyalovesmusic]

@1:51 nice sweat arm bands Nick!Lol

[nightengale379]

Im loving the lack of f*cks The Strokes are giving.

[Floppsy]

@nightengale379 lol yeah, that's the best thing about them. they're awesome

[canuckkid204]

Fuck when i grow up i wanna be like The Strokes BAM!

[jeminiany222]

sounds greeeeat!

[piefreek13]

My favourite show and my favourite band...together...what could be better;)

Ps. JULIAN TAKE OFF THE SUNGLASSES... UNLEASH THE BABY BLUES!

[raddestgirlEVARR]

@piefreek13 Er, unless you're referring to something else, Julian's eyes are beautiful yes, but brownish/hazel, not blue.

The Strokes <33333 They're my favourite band too!

[bfox866]

Bob Dylan?

[OMARCM26]

thin lizzy not abba 

[20kv10]

One of my Strokes' favorite song...

[Bozzezon]

There is so mutch ABBA in this song,  pop/rock perfection!

[Tj22REMIXES]

what do u mean?? he is really good live , just simetimes his voice is worn out , i want to see you do better ! GO JC

[3elperro]

this song + relax X cigarettes / beer = a daamm goood time

[pattylake55]

Does anyone knows if they did an interview for the ellen show?

[alternativereality]

The audio mix is really good here. Also, the lead singer doesn't sound like total crap in this one. I'm digging the Fender Jazz bass, too. It's good to see them in more rock music now, I am not partial to the Precision bass.

[0Alet]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaii papa ... ya de celaya :O

[xOxCrapWeaselxOx]

God i'm loving the drummer. Look how happy he is :D

[ralphdrumslikefab]

real musicians on ellen O.o

[Jaff9999]

I like The Strokes and single album of Julian but Julian dont sing true on live. :/

[TxStroke23]

@Jaff9999 he does for every album except Angles, and Angles also happens to be probably their worst album. That's just my opinion though. I still love this album, but the other 3 are just brilliant. Look up Julians singing on Is This It and Room on Fire; better than the studio version

[Jaff9999]

@TxStroke23 : all rules have exception ;)

[themodernage17]

@TxStroke23 yeah im with you

[brattyvallies]

@Eatn28 Yes, yes he does.

[lalalasin6]

Oh my. :-)

[p24c]

TE AMO JULIAN T___T <3

[Eatn28]

Does he have a Swan Song patch on his jacket.

[TheWizzKidz]

@Eatn28 is that a question?

[iClubMidgets]

1:20 "He said the soldier is a necessity in light of all the failures of man."

I never would have known that's what he said if I hadn't watched this video. Thank you Ellen and lesbians everywhere.

[musicismyescape2016]

To the 25 people who disliked this incredible performance, I wanna punch you in the mouth :)

[adheusrangel]

2:45 all of them look to fabs. lol

[nuramber]

@adheusrangel LOOOL i didn't notice that haha awkward :)

[TheVibeSweden]

Is it just me who hear a lot of Thin Lizzy in this one?

[00Jackacid]

@TheVibeSweden me too bro i love it!



[Majoritis]

On ellen? really? Okay, I've come to terms with that..

[adiostrokes]

Nick reminds me of those glam guitar players in this video... maybe is that leopard shirt

[pstrokeslibsarctic]

love that p90 lespaul

but still can't really beat the p94riviera ;)

[davesmith7891]

Jesus Christ monkeyballs, backing vocals!

[adriglamrocker]

my favorite...<3



[Jessluv7]

i lub dem

[VeggieMikey]

@criket527 Actually at :43 3/5 of the Strokes sing which is the majority ;)

[aecc035791]

is this the third single from the angles album?

[KwlKitKat]

It's songs like this that makes me want to go out and buy a leather jacket <3

[chunkeerobot]

@KwlKitKat I was getting more of a sweater vest vibe from nikolai

[CherubHorse]

@KwlKitKat That's why I HAVE one xD

[slushpup9696]

@KwlKitKat Not even kidding, it's songs like this that made me go out and buy a leather jacket. I actually bought one and wear a hoodie under it so I can pretend to be Julian.

[alans056]

@slushpup9696 that's pathetic man... be yourself...

[slushpup9696]

@alans056 no it's not... I was obviously joking about the pretending to be julian part, and yeah, they made me think leather jackets are cool, that doesn't mean I'm somehow less of myself

[rollingroses]

wow you guys are sensitive. you just can't accept someone saying something not all that nice about your favorite band. you have to do name calling . *sigh*

[The8347135]

@rollingroses you're an idiot. Let him wear whatever he wants to. Or maybe you just can't let other people like the bands you don't like

[raddestgirlEVARR]

@rollingroses Not necessarily, but have you ever thought maybe, just MAYBE Al likes ACDC? They're only calling you a moron because you're automatically writing Al off as some poser who wants to wear a cool band tee. Get your facts straight BEFORE you post something. On that note, The Strokes FTW

[skatingmusic3]

are people really arguing about what bands wear when they play now?? jesus christ he wore another band's shirt, people do it all the time @rollingroses your'e a moron(:

[luxospina]

me ENCANTA este tema

[jdepps13]

Ellen just tripled her standing in my eyes when I realized these guys played on her show. I honestly never would have considered that there was any reason I would want to tune in to her show, until just now.

[rollingroses]

great song and all but I don't like what the guitarist is doing : ""everybody loves AC/DC. .....if I wear an AC/DC t-shirt, everyone will love me !!!!"

[bonneytronney]

@rollingroses or maybe he just likes AC/DC?

[kekecom]

@rollingroses you are stupid... albert is a big AC/DC fan!! you have to see more interviews man XD

[yuppers4321]

@rollingroses

Dude...if everyone love AC/DC, then he likes it right? So if he likes the band, why the hell can't he wear an AC/DC shirt? Also, Albert is awesome enough where doesn't need to wear an AC/DC shirt to be loved. He is Albert Fucking Hammond Jr. Nuff said.

[sierrafonronsenburg]

I want Julian's shoes.

[deadmandanny88]

Fab looks cool as fuck in this vid.

[twokindsofhappiness]

@deadmandanny88 he is

[luxospina]

no es la mejor banda de todo el mundo mundial?? ahahahaha sencillamente espectacular!!!!

[phmuppet]

I think Julian has Tourettes :P

[bianka173]

Best band.... EVER

[zerowhitestripes]

They're so badass.. But what the fuck is Valensi wearing?

[LibbyBarcel2]

@zerowhitestripes His sexy cheeta shirt! lol

[zerowhitestripes]

@LibbyBarcel2 Haha.... its pretty gay

[edlmota]

drummer!!!

[AmethystINK]

ME GUSTA

[brainstewjaded]

@AmethystINK me imagino al meme de Cuanto Cabron al lado jajajajaja ;)

[12345thestrokes]

Where the fuck was I! Can't believe I missed this :(

[ilovejamesandmoney]

What you got to smile about all the time me drummer man ? stop smilllling :/ lol stop!

[ilovejamesandmoney]

When you think you no it all, in time you find you were wrong. Then you think youve got it the second time right. In time you will see it as wrong again.

[ilovejamesandmoney]

Ah I think ive got it. He steals the good bits from everyone to make all perfecto. I like it lol

[ilovejamesandmoney]

The words he uses in song remind me of dire straits..pointless words

[cornygirl2008]

OMG HIS VOICE JUST SCREAMS SEX!!!

[mirkemp88]

This song might be inspired by Queen...... Love it..... Love the strokes !!!!!!!!

[ilovejamesandmoney]

How to deal with impossible posh bitches without loosing your brains

Look your best and look at them like they are making you feel a bit sick with the sight of them

[ilovejamesandmoney]

The posh man in the band is my worst enemy like hes just a bitch. Impossible to get on with at your nicest. Bitchy and stuckup. I knew someone like that and he called me a strange little thing and that was it I hate people that resmeble bitches

[ilovejamesandmoney]

Without the makeup lol

[ilovejamesandmoney]

Does anybody no this dude??CAN YOU TELL HIM TO STOP WEARING HIS SUNGLASSES. HE GOT SUCKED INTO A BAD HABBIT AND HE HAS THE BEST FACE

[PandaBasher]

0:29-0:31 Oh Fab, you ridiculously cool bastard

[ajyoyoma]

All the menopausal women in the audience must have been clutching their handbags thinking....'I was hoping to see Greyson Chance, what is this rock and/or roll music?'. Poor old bags.

[nickfromCO]

@ajyoyoma HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA good one!

[MercurySyndrom]

best fucking performance for the whole Angles era?

[huckhuckhuck777]

@MercurySyndrom either this one or the Under Cover of Darkness performance on SNL in my opinion

[TheBrennaAlexandera]

Julian has one hell of a sunglass collection. I'm jealous :/

[Paperhouse81]

A high five for Julian! NY loves you!

[JennyWantsToRock]

i love nikolai's sense of style

[luvaddictXO]

This is one of my favorites off Angles! And uh... Nick? Rockin' that sweater.

[juiceitwell]

Fab is... Fab.

[mafka000]

Nick sings! :D And not that bad...

[Strokeiteasy1251]

Check how Fab hits the Crash ! lmao<3

[TAMUCLASS16]

Why do I think Bob Dylan when I hear this? Love the song!

[adarastrokes]

[marcoyjessica]

Ahuevo chinga

[lopestjoao]

grandmastersmith...DUDE!!!! WTF!!!! DON´T FUCKING INSULT JULIAN...!!!! IDIOT
