The Strokes Leno Hard to Explain

[strokesfan815]

I've listened to this song so many times and I never get tired of it

[jeommp]

I love that they sound the same live as they do on the album.

[Wolfreys44]

leno is unworthy

[Clashchileno]

I don't really understand why ppl compare Oasis, The Strokes, etc. Oasis is by far the greatest band in the last 20 years. The strokes is a great band, but the Gallagher brothers inspired to a lot of bands.. its like the beatles but in the 90's. Sorry for my English by the way, I'm not a native speaker, but my favourite music is in English

[JWIIIman]

@Clashchileno well in a intervien with julian back when they started he said he has never heard oasis music so ur comment is wrong

[frooshante]

@Clashchileno n i r v a n a

[mariliagpc]

oasis > the strokes > arctic monkeys

[voltsfabian]

@mariliagpc Fuck Oasis, hugely overrated band. Liam is a complete douche, although Noel is an alright songwriter.

[greenJems]

his eyes....

[RebirthBeyond]

they sound... the same on the album, it's amazing

I dream of the day I can see them live

[thinkingneon]

it must be so weird to be a rock star and a human being 

[zestroker1]

happy birthday is this it and thank you strokes for this...and all :] love you

[jazzyde2]

Jules went form denim outfit to leather outfit...he looks hot in anything!

LOVE THE STROKES

[THEGUYD0WNTHESTREET]

2:51- "EVERYTHING SOUNDS GREAT"

[adrenalinekitty]

efff, i can watch the strokes ALL day.

[dmr238]

Crazy Eyes Jules. My favorite Jules.

[rissathemighty]

I would do absolutely ANYTHING to see The Strokes in concert.

[lilacifyable]

i lovehow Albert has his guitar propped uo so high so it looks like all his jacket s are too tight or simething ahahah <3

[maxsample]

there used to be a version of this song that they played on Saturday Night Live, which in my extensively researched opinion is the best strokes live video. Unfortunately it was taken down for some reason. Can someone please upload it again!?

[Rachael83m]

one person was so distracted by julian's sexiness that they accidentally pressed dislike!

[micah88800a]

This is the first video I saw of The Strokes I live and I have to say I can't believe how good they sound live. It sounds just like the studio version. Hell, better.

[Mokeyfrog]

You never know if Jules is going to make sweet love to the mic or rape it.. I think a lot of the time its a little of both... But i like it .. I more then like it .. I loves it...

[postyman86]

so i think i will die with anticipation pretty soon!!

[MikeyFace21]

@melfaery and i give a shit why? i'm not tryin to impress you, or anyone else for that matter...

[melfaery]

Julian is so beautiful. 

[MikeyFace21]

I'd go gay for Julian Casablancas...

[melfaery]

@MikeyFace21 That is such an odd thing for a straight male to say. Seriously, it's such a turn-off.

[oscarjashcarr]

every time i fall into a to a dark hole! I listen to the strokes & I find the light!

[Marilola75]

My grinch heart grows everytime a Strokes song is on !

<3

[interstating]

i.ve got the same guitar as Albert Hammond. i miss the strokes era.

[sesshomaru322]

Julian looks a lot like John Bender from Breakfast Club. Even got the same jean jacket on.

[melfaery]

@sesshomaru322 I see it. But he has a prettier face.

[sheacallsmeizzles]

2:52

too amazing for words

[Lounge69Act]

they did "last nite" as well on this show..but I cant seem to find it anywhere..

could use some help

thanx

[59whiterabbit]

Wow. I have been listening to them for almost 10 years now, and they never fail to amaze me. This is one my fav songs of theirs.

[musiclineproduction]

out of all the garage revival bands... i think this is the best one..

[Chacha5678]

@musiclineproduction hahhah ikr

[Hullio55]

they managed to make Nick look chubby with the proportion of this video, congratulations, I didn't think it could be done!

[4grandma]

this is was their first appearance on tv show. 2001.

[hugoeduardoone]

Pensé que había visto todos los videos de los Strokes en You tube, estoy seguro de que solo me faltaba este.

[melfaery]

I think I'd stand in the audience with my mouth open if I were ever lucky enoug to see them live. I haven't felt this way about music in a long time.

[rajivk91]

As well as their musical godlikeness, their fashion has literally run this decade. Outstanding.

[naota1800]

did they fucking boo him at the end sorta that would piss me the fuck off

[act0joakim]

@naota1800 I didn't hear anything

[gigantafrique]

@naota1800 they definitely did not...i think that was very loud applause and cheering

[manhattanishappening]

stoked for the reunion in a few months!

[naota1800]

dude if you didnt know there scheduled to release a new album in 2010

[manhattanishappening]

yeah man im stoked for that too!

[Naytinfinity]

in september

[Phyziks]

LOL, funny how Nick has the shortest hair here, and by the 3rd album has the longest. Favourite song from The Strokes for sure.

[luciemarie323]

I can't believe i didn't pay much ado to the strokes in general but now that Julian is branching out it all comes together for me and a light just went off in my musically cluttered heart.

[thannydrums]

love the thumbs up

[blacksquidward12345]

greatest song of the last 10 years. easily.

[CL1993BTN]

@blacksquidward12345 i think Arctic Monkeys fans and Oasis fans will have something to say about that statement..

here's one.. no it's not it's good but it's not even the Strokes best song so best this decade? no. not by a long way.

[ChallegerUS]

@CL1993BTN  Oasis is garbage. Arctic Monkeys are trash. The Strokes are gold.

[AaronCantDance]

knowing casablanca he is drunk! haha

[Kona8919]

Typical staple of Mr. Casablancas...act drunk and deranged....it's just amazing.

[hannahfactor]

awesome band, awesome song...

[cossack77]

Jay Leno should've had The Strokes as musical guests more often.

[KiraIsNoSuperman]

wow, amazing performance!

love julian's little thumbs up ' - ' b

:)

[rerarbob1]

love how the crowd thinks it over at the interlude :)

[lolaxamazing]

actually i think a recent news thing on NME said it's probably not going to come out till next year, but they already have 3 songs down.

mmmm i love them

[guitargod767]

what no y god y( its worth the wait but i cant keep feeling mad us fans have been waiting forever T.T)

[JoshandStephen]

haha, jules is so chill...

[ThaSTR0K3z24]

there better be a new album by summer 09

[MoonchildMindaugasRo]

I'd say Autumn.

Writing and recording takes ~4-5 months

Post-production - 1,5-2 months

therefore

~ Sept-October

[elcarlitos23]

this is only an estimate right? or are they really planing to?

[MoonchildMindaugasRo]

estimate

[mkington]

@MoonchildMindaugasRo you sir were wrong by about a full 12 months on your prediction

[mrPOTatomuffins]

@ThaSTR0K3z24 too late

[mitchellmakesvideos]

@ThaSTR0K3z24 We've had to wait a long time, but we're finally getting what we've been waiting for

[xxbatxcountryx]

@ThaSTR0K3z24 better yet 2011 :)

[evd81]

rfunseca is the shit, all right?

[pmorin90]

That is so great! I can't wait for their new album!

[sandoz098]

I just read the FACE article from August 02 which talks about this performance - and now I can watch it. I love technology.
