The Strokes - 12:51 alternate video

[ainagirl2002]

when MTV 2 actually played music.

[SuperHndra]

12:51 is the time my voice

[Maugolek]

@SuperHndra found the words I sought

[AntoMeroy]

Gordon Raphael Rules!!

[stillilllife]

I've just watched the Tron version for the first time a minute ago. This video however is the one I've always associated the song with. I didn't even know there was another video for it out there until today.

[jeommp]

@stillilllife That's so funny I only found out about this one today! I like these old videos of them having fun together.

[carlo88moe]

@dongeros8 i actually think its very fitting for the strokes' music....

[Lush1965]

I like this better than the official video. Juliain looks too out of it on that one.

[jeommp]

@Lush1965 it's part of his charm though.

[HeeeyMacarena]

how have I never seen this before?

[Nbahealer]

LOL, julian casablancas wasn't even singing in this video!!

[xZyXEL]

Nick's old hair was so kickass!

[dyynoise]

Oct 15 :D Corona Capital <3

[ahemitsmex5]

I wish I had Nick's style :\ x3

[zamora795]

this ust  makes the song better!

[imnotthatbloodyguy]

lol in like every video, julian is like touching or hugging somebody. *jealous*

[hanaogra]

音質悪すぎて音が歪んでる...

[MarinaTheChaz]

I repeated 2:08 - 2:14 over and over again. Did anyone else catch that?

[sunsun410]

@MarinaTheChaz what happens between 208 and 214? ha did he flick him off?

[WakeBake92]

@sunsun410 Nah he put a gun to his head and pretended he shot himself. Haha

[juanprimitou]

GUBA looks like VEVO

[sols4g]

[TenMotercyclez]

[juanayalad]

[natalie20136]

@Andyvswild

[Gemster618]

2 hours 33 minutes till angles!

[TenMotercyclez]

hurry the fuck up!

[luvkatak]

the band looks 70's to me...

[alluneedslove]

LOVE THEM

the strokes, best band of the 2000s

[prplePnut]

2:13 Ha typical Jules

[macparty311]

the one guitar player looks like he is jimmy fallons cousin

[twokindsofhappiness]

March, 22nd

[kikrokz1]

Jules is so awesome that he can sing beautifully sitting down! :D

[BarryProvolone]

@kikrokz1 is it harder to sing sitting?

[rolodexroulette]

@BarryProvolone depends on what you're doing. if you're belting out loud and gritty stuff, you have less leverage because of the fact your singing. if you're just being mellow or doing some falsetto stuff, some say it's easier to control the higher notes (at a soft volume) while sitting. hope that helps.

[BarryProvolone]

@rolodexroulette thanks broseph!

[jamesonthestreet]

@rolodexroulette very useful info, thx :)

[ajmolina12]

lol ..Julian look at 0:55 <3

[scvdrums]

[cheliuxorton92]

wuo0o0o0 genial

[felatioable]

I want to party with the strokes...final answer

[popsiclesuckers]

[Andyvswild]

[jmac8994]

We could go and get 40's. Then we'll go to some party. Oh, really your folks are away now? Alright, lets go, you convinced me.

[jmac8994]

LIGHTS FROM SPACE

[natalie20136]

NIKOLAI! SOVIET!

wtf...sorry, he's just too russian, i fucking love it.

[melfaery]

Yes, New Yorkers are all this cool.

[jlaw666]

what model of guitar synth do they use?

[AndrewThomasR]

@jlaw666 the 'synth' noises are from nicks guitar - Epiphone Riviera, Nick Valensi Signature model. :D

[misskiedischick]

MARCH 11, 2011 is the day where it's scheduled for their next album to be release!! i'm excited(:

[VaNSaNT85]

[nateitalianstallion]

They're working on an album and it should be out in january

[johannaGreiff]

[coasttocoast7]

[besiana1]

yeah the strokes!!!

they f rock!!!

[fdge]

hey, does anyone know how to get Nick's Midi-like guitar tone? any pedals or something that sound similar? thx!

[polishpride02]

wait what happened to the strokes? ive been out of their loop for some time now

[CrazyCantaloupe]

@polishpride02 they're working on a new album.... its supposed to be out this January

[CrazyCantaloupe]

@polishpride02 or actually my mistake...... they started recording in January...it should be out September

[thebadthing505]

@polishpride02

No no, the new album will be release january 2011, like Julian said :)

[BorisGaquere]

@thebadthing505 Note: this was a hopeful prediction, not a confirmed date.

[thebadthing505]

@BorisGaquere

Yep, but I hear the release will be in March 2011 now.. =/

[BorisGaquere]

@thebadthing505 I'm honestly not that worried about it. Julian is a smart guy, so the longer they take to make the record, the better it will be.

[thebadthing505]

@BorisGaquere

Yeah, totally, the 4th records will be worth the wait i guess :)

[stereoheadshizune]

@BorisGaquere I agree. i've seen the videos on their recent Isle of Wight performance here on youtube, and from what i've seen they seem to have this new edge to their sound now....i honestly think the 4th album will be just fine. :)

[Death2Mediocrity]

Ze Strokes! :]

[Lisbethnoren]

isn't that "the Guru" on Julian's left (2:42) ?? ^0^

[sharks5678]

@Lisbethnoren woah ! i think so !

[noodles1fan]

maybe if we clap real hard: the strokes will come back.

[jonstroke19]

YEAAHH THES STROKES BACK ¡¡¡¡ XD

[fendermaxime]

Epiphone was not owned by gibson before it was an independent company.

His epiphone is made in Japan namely the quality is a lot better than a made in china and also maybe better than a made in USA. Epiphone create the riviera guitar and not Gibson.

[pekasful]

I loved this video

[iraabayonquizon]

love it!?..going gaga!!! over them...and julian csablancas

[HKJLJL]

After how long man and I still love this song.......

[obliviouspet]

Theyre working on a fourth album. Keep your fingers crossed.

[slappop7]

your a faggot...and MJ is no god

[sebasisdabest]

anyone heard Phrazes or the Young, julians new solo album?

its pretty sweet but regardless i want the goddamm Strokes back

there will be another music evolution surge i know it

[tara022]

Yess! I quite like Phrazes for the Young. River of Brakelights is a sick song, and I love Glass. Out of the Blue is a pretty sweet song too. They're all pretty damn good. Julian just can't do anything bad musically. The Strokes can't do anything bad musically. They're awesome. :D haha

[genhy]

OH! yes it's a really nice solo.. I play it every single day. Have you heard Albert Hammond jr solo albums?.. They both can sing amazingly.. I love THEm ,.... BUt The Strokes are just Unbelievable, CAN't wait I am going to see them if they go back together...I would do anything! LOVE THe Strokes

[dowling1981]

Why don't you like them?

[genhy]

I can't describe it IT makes MY body AND SOUL MOVE AND a great satisfaction all over !! i LOVE THEM.

[SNOW890]

@genhy you would be happy to hear this, their fourth album is almost here! supposed to release sometime in 2010, not sure when tho. but they probably will have a tour to follow!

[dowling1981]

Their fifth album was last year, ken?

[deadmandanny88]

If you can name me all five albums you are a god, considering they have only just gone into the studio to record the 4th.,,,

[dowling1981]

They have already had 5 albums. The album they are currently recording is their 6th, ken?

[LookingLikeMoretti]

@deadmandanny88 I agree anyone who says they have more then 3 is an idiot, as of right now theres 3 with one on the way, but there are countless single cds and concert cds, that is not an album

[genhy]

THanks for the info... I am so happy can't wait to see them. Guess, I have to save lots of money to follow them... :) LOve them ... California is waiting for The Strokes

[owenjoyner]

@genhy they are already back together, they started recording in late december.

[genhy]

THAnk you>>>> GUess I have to save money to buy tickets. LOVE them

[iLUVindians19]

@sebasisdabest you are aware that they are coming back

[sebasisdabest]

@iLUVindians19 yep and i'm chewing off my fingertips until their next tour.

[thejokermakeup]

Albert is totally tripping out at 2:10

[SuperGirlJessi]

Nikolai looks very cute in white I love his smile

[kerrberr14]

I love how The Strokes are a band who enjoy what they do, and you can tell. I miss them very much though.

[JessTheSkank]

This video makes me sad. I want The Strokes back!

[p4cm4n182]

@JessTheSkank new album is out this september, so be patient, theyll be back :D

[urinator117]

@JessTheSkank What happened to the strokes? I asked someone that about a couple days ago and they said that nothing happened, so whats up??

[JessTheSkank]

@urinator117

Not sure, don't keep up with them anymore. Sorry.

[yellowmouse7]

@JessTheSkank Saw them live a few nights ago. They are definitely back. Were absolutely amazing. Julian was actually talking and joking with the crowd, which is a massive change from when I saw them 4 years ago and he barely said anything. :)

[wiresnlocksshit]

@urinator117 they're working on the fourth album, julian says it'll be out next march or so. they headlined this year's Isle Of Wight festival. check out the vids, they're here on youtube.

[liesforspies]

@JessTheSkank dont worry the strokes will be back.

[graciesmells]

@JessTheSkank march 2011 !!

[alexachoco]

@JessTheSkank me too :(

[TheIRiShCaSaNoVa]

@JessTheSkank me to pal!

[Annaa97]

@JessTheSkank Me too!

[TheJelly1990]

@JessTheSkank new album is coming early 2011

[Mofilia]

Sensacional... viva o rock de qualidade como dos The Strokes!! Aplausos ;)

[TK2mf]

é isso aí! mais aplausos pra eles!

[Mofilia]

= ] viva o rock sempre... obrigada pelo apoio do meu comentário...

[intercanemetlupum]

nick <3

[MrCanned]

hace tanto que no veia este video...

[PjectManhattan]

nice fucking shoes jules hahaha

[sh0wbiz]

is that an Epiphone he's using?

[4tehlulzzz]

yes

[Lemming16]

Epiphone Riviera, the only epiphone that doesnt suck ass. (In fact is an excellent and relative cheap guitar)

[sh0wbiz]

Why do Epiphones "suck ass"?

[Lemming16]

cheapest woods, cheapest pickups, made in china, with a very low quality QC. But nicks epiphone is totally different, you should get that one, i think its 500 on guitar center, its a great guitar.

[RockFreak67]

i disagree

everyone seems to think that epiphones are cheap ripoffs but i think they have some real nice semi hollows, like the one you said, the riviera, and their les paul copy actually isn't that bad

[fendermaxime]

@Lemming16 nick has a epiphone elitist which cost more that american standard fender strat per example.

[Lemming16]

@fendermaxime Really? I heard on some website it was a Riviera, but i guess a Riviera (600 bucks) would be too cheap for someone like him. I wonder why he sticks with Epiphone instead of Gibson. Anyways, his sound comes from his p-94 pickups, and his Fender Deville. Love his tone.

[Kiwi72uk]

the opening 50 seconds remind me of the 'teddy picker' video. if it was directed by mark coppolla as mentioned earlier, it was his brother that directed the teddy picker video...

[hamajuggle]

Lol? cool to know :p

[payification]

this vid was directed by mark coppolla¿

[Beyou96]

I love how they get fun and I love them too and I love their songs too!!! but I hate their wifes (well I want to be one of their wifes!)

[takershadow]

The Strokes es lo mejor!

[haribo687]

Havent seen this in YEARS, for some reason the thing that stuck in my mind the most was Julian's white shoes....

[NoslemProductions]

@haribo687 me too, reverse colored converse, I think.

[strokesloverforever]

hey! its jules birthday today!

[Gugeno]

Haha, i never noticed that. when else does he do it?

[psquare182]

nice video :P

I personally like this one more than the other one

but the song is always good :D

[crayzeejen]

hahahahahahaa 3:00 possibly my favorite part

[stupidusernamehere]

It must be so tough for Julian Casablancas to be so talented and good-looking. Poor guy.

[rick3001]

And he comes from a good family. Wouldn't mind being him in my previous life.

[Lemming16]

@stupidusernamehere He seems to enjoy every bit of it.
