[ATLJRC]

i wish the strokes still made music. They were so great. Every song is so good raw rock music. julian is the definition of a rocker great voice. Comeback

[m0uth3at3r]

@ATLJRC

They're putting out a record this March.

[salmonico]

Fuckin hell, i fell like im 15 again, awkward and fucked up.

[euyfdvfhj]

@salmonico I'm afraid that's me ;(

[ChainsmokingPothead]

remember seeing this full preformance on tv long time ago, ty for posting

[blueshats]

I wish i had a time machine!

[ipi223]

changed my life too

[timoshs]

The Strokes continue to amaze me. There songs never get old, every song has a meaning and has some way of communicating to all of us. Its like magic, nothing can beat The Strokes. One of the most under-rated bands of all time

[JoelsTunes]

@timoshs You have got to be the most utterly oblivious fucktard to think that the strokes are "under rated"; Is This It was rated 2nd best album of the fucking DECADE by Rolling Stone, that pretty much speaks for itself.

[idrinkalotmorethanu]

@JoelsTunes what was the first best album of the decade then?

[Orlowski27]

@idrinkalotmorethanu

obviously kid a. I didnt even check the list, but it just HAS to be kid a.

[idrinkalotmorethanu]

@Orlowski27 what is kid a?

[Orlowski27]

@idrinkalotmorethanu radiohead album. I admit it was one hell of an album, but the best one of the decade? not sure about that. top 10 for sure though.

[idrinkalotmorethanu]

@Orlowski27 o yea. true . Aha Shake and Because of The Times gotta be up there too . that is just my completely biased opinion tho , lol .

[StupidTeddybear]

@JoelsTunes true it did get reconized. But they are Under-Rated. Even Recently when The strokes played at Lalapooloza this year, Alber Hammong Jr. Said " We are Still no means mainstream, we are the biggest underground band in the world".

[4DayWeekendVEVO]

@JoelsTunes and best album of the decade by nme :D

[bobngo10]

2:38 look at jules head bang

[TheHeyitsducky]

ckeck out trouble with the birds!

[slevels1]

first time i heard this band my hair stood up on my arms and neck, this is the real deal, its the perfect mix of new and old, dudes voice is the greatest in rock right now and for the last 4 or 5 years, cant c these guys falling off anytime soon, we need music like this its good 4 the soul imo

[ahshit1006]

@slevels1 same here dude.

[titsohmatic]

@slevels1 dude listen to julian's (the singer) solo stuff. its more techno but is really good

[princesslily181]

ohh nick, :D

[TTGBMR]

hollywodd?? hollywoDD??

[punkkify2]

this is probably one of my favorite live performances ever.

[yessireser]

so fucking amazing.

[snehesten]

Julian Casablancas is a bit too cool for his own good

[VegasSkateCulture]

the strokes knew from the beginning that they were going to be big, because they played original music. Now its like every band that adds me on Myspace is like everyone else.

[M16KING82]

their a gum that can't just get off because it's so fucking good

[ahshit1006]

The strokes are just like weed in the sense that they both bring people together.

[thegrapist09]

@ahshit1006 its not just the stokes dude, its music in general

[ahshit1006]

@thegrapist09 well obviously, but i mean, who doesnt love the strokes.

[bassface9393]

Genius

[SamuBolado]

so, they are strokes like, brain illness or the sex move??

[OriginalRatoly]

@SamuBolado No. They are THE Strokes. Big difference.

[soursunglasses]

I loveee how albert moves

[live498]

@soursunglasses haha i just finally noticed that i play guitar just like him. when im playing chords fast my hand flies out and does like a circle then comes back like he does lol. never really paid attention to it until i saw Albert playing like that haha.

[LORDSBROKLYN]

pause at 1:08 ang look at the guy wearing the black hat

its that russian guy again

hahahaha

[mythirdeye22]

what a weak fucking crowd!!

[deosism]

this is a drunk band!

love them so much

STROKES!!!!

"PD!!!!"

[fuckamericanidiot]

in the early 2000's we had the strokes, the hives AND the libertines! there hasn't been a popular band that's excited me like they did since. most 'alternative' music nowadays seems to be talentless pretty boys

[ElLukasco]

@fuckamericanidiot so true

[AngeloNoel]

And I'mmmm... Stop!

[tswars]

i love albert hammond jr,,, :D:D:D:D:D:D:DD

[balikguitar]

i love the song

i'm reading brave new world in english class right now and brought this song up in class and astonishgly my english teacher is also a strokes fan! haha

love this song

[stariie077]

such an awesome, unique voice!!!

[BigCherylFan]

just starting to get into the strokes. they rock!!

[12345thestrokes]

nicks legs are so skinny lol!

[TheChuy02]

Ha look at Albert attack at guitar in 1:45 , man luv that guy!!!  GO STROKES!!!!!!!!!

[veecohead]

such a lively audience

[converse48]

what kind of guitar does the guy in the tan jacket (left guitarist) have

(sorry but cant remember the names of the band members)

[upinthemgutz27]

Thats nick vanlensi, and he always used a Epiphone RivIera with Gibson P-94 pick ups

[alexjestermusic]

Actually, that's Nick Valensi, and that's an Epiphone Riviera, though that's not the only guitar he's used in recordings.

[upinthemgutz27]

thats what i said but thanks

[NoslemProductions]

@alexjestermusic correct, he used a les paul with juice box, and Albert did as well.

[101011we]

@converse48 Nick. and it looks like some form of Epiphone. Maybe a Casino, or sheraton with different finish

[bartvvz]

I guess a Gibson Les Paul.

Nice song.

[converse48]

i highly doubt thats a les paul

[bartvvz]

I guess, a Gibson Les Paul.

Nice song!

[WrongChris]

The reason! They call the shots, make the wars, give the orders to kill—but theyre not the ones who actually do the dirty work & sweat the sweat & spill the blood. The , wining & dining in orgies of opulence from Washington to South Beach, toPalm Springs, London, Paris, Moscow & Riyadh, etc, etc.. They will never allow the fair, major redistribution of wealth that could prevent the social explosion thats bound to happen—and soon. If were all going to go down, I say let the Oligarchs go first

[eltoroo69]

@wrongchris

wtf are you talking about.

[blashuvec]

he sounds like britt daniels from spoon

[BearSeatown]

The Strokes were my first band.

[davesmith7891]

@BearSeatown

You make it sound like you had sex with them.

[kubikiribasara]

this album is the sound of this decade.

That's all i have to say.

Fuckin great song.

[jake120892]

agree with you.

but i would go even a step further,

this band is the band of the century;)

[boomblad1]

yoyooyoy wtf

[1989thestrokes]

this song is about drug....stop!!!.and go.....

[finnishforrestkablow]

@1989thestrokes Read Brave New World,

You will learn about soma...

[NickValensi999]

My favourite version of this song!!!!

[NorOnt18]

The strokes changed my life i finally had something to talk to girls about LOL

[irishandy79]

@NorOnt18 hahahaha, funny but cute....your still gay

[ahshit1006]

@NorOnt18 hahahah thats so funny. Its ok tho i understand cuz the strokes are the shit.

[msr824]

@NorOnt18 The Strokes changed my life; I finally had something to talk to boys about! Good. NO FANTASTIC. Fucking. Music.

I LOVE SOMA.

[hugoefoda]

@NorOnt18 shit man, it didnt work for me. those fucking girls didnt even know who the strokes were

[NouvelleKid]

@NorOnt18 haha:D

[justarerun]

[strokesfan1107]

i had to stop halfway through and make sure that it wasn't just a dub

[VegasSkateCulture]

@strokesfan1107 they have a strong work ethic

[LowBudgetProduction3]

fab is such a great drummer..

[ahshit1006]

[christiannestrokes]

[funkydankspliff]

@christiannestrokes who cares if its pop or garage or whatever, just enjoy it

[christiannestrokes]

@funkydankspliff agreed.

[helltoy6]

Concerts should be played with the audience standing.

[reyrosso]

great song never play this song in the concert so its a great placer see this video

[robalsen]

one of the best videos on youtube of the strokes for sure...this song grew on me so much at first i thought it was the worst on is this it, now i think its the best

[NoslemProductions]

same thing happened with me with  juice box

[SSLYBY123]

This is a really good live perfomance by The Strokes. :D

I love them, i cant wait for their 4th album.

[GkA]

[pulseofmaggots616]

[Ischen1975]

This is really really a great perf. from The Strokes! I fucking love The Strokes

[retrocareermelted]

hes singing with a regular mic. nothing synthetic about it

[bicycleofplenty]

he uses a high-cut filter on their older stuff (think first two albums)

[harryspoonpotter]

i swear he just sang through a slightly distorted guitar amp

[kittyzhiitap]

riquisiimooo !

obvio

he's so gorgeous ! :3

[Valerdi888]

JULIAN esta SABROSO!!

[CloudStrife900X]

DAMN COOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maddynz]

The Stokes=pure joy

i would kill to be one of the people that was in that crowd

[Karmaic12]

This song does not get as much credit as it deserves

[sunlogosis]

yeah, its a great damn song.

[spinalCJ]

i wish i was cool

[joyliberhiroshi]

soma~

[NickValensi999]

I love this song!! so simple to play but so wonderful!!!

[msane4XX]

You see, this is what I miss in The Strokes.

Their classics, and the way they look.

Now, all of their music is just....i dont know.

Don't get me wrong, it's still good, it's just that it seems over produced.

[kenyou101]

Completely agree with you there. I think they just sorta got sucked up into that whole music industry thing, making albums to please the people instead of just playing whatever they like themselves. But I really don't know.

[msane4XX]

Exactly!

As a fan, I'm looking forward to their fourth album, but not with high hopes. You know?

Now if this were 2002, and I was awaiting Room On Fire, then I would be crazily excited.

[tranquilizer14]

yeah i agree their classics are pretty awesome and not mouthing their new albums because those are also splended but still the best band

[chitarristarockfolle]

bellissima sta song con il mio gruppo devo fare il tributo dei the strokes

[JohnnyDaBird]

great song!

[corretebethoven17]

great great song dude love them since 2002, fuck time is running out !!!

[dkr5tkr]

i dont like this band i love it!

this guys are the very best

their songs are amazing

renew myself :):):)

[KiraIsNoSuperman]

nick gets lower and lower lol

[catog]

this is rock'n'roll. I love it!

[chemicallyenhanced4]

they are absolutely amazing live

[kurbina1251]

do you see how crammed they are? watch Take It Or Leave it live and then talk to us bud

[boxbro]

Ive been filming and collecting shows for 17+yrs and just made a pretty cool dvd of THE STROKES performance from The Tweeter Center, Philadelphia PA 6/18/04...pro shot, great sound & picture.

I've got thousands of other shows listed on my site..email me for info.

[thestrokeslover1]

can wait for their new album which means a tour:D

the strokes to me play music that is timeless. it not like shit today that talk about girls getting naked and all that but, they sing live, and even though their drunk their still amazing. thats just who they are. I met fab, and he is a great guy. they might not be the band everyone knows but evryone who does listen to their music loves them.

[granmanati]

you are fuckin' right dude

[Urpaiae]

When a live concert on BR? please when????

[floatlikeacannanball]

are they even still a band?
