[daddyfunk13]

DEEPEST V EVA

[Astrotard]

hes a avatar like

[snorgisborg2]

I think this dude is definitely on heroin

[codyscottmac]

@snorgisborg2 Just because someone is skinny and has high cheekbones doesn't mean they're on heroine.

[snorgisborg2]

@codyscottmac I'm skinny and have high cheekbones but my eyes don't look like that

[SaltyWater1]

@snorgisborg2 I do and I have eyes similar to that, I'm not on heroin or ever done heroin, you're pretty dumb.

[snorgisborg2]

@SaltyWater1 Your fucking mother is dumb for having you instead of swallowing you.

[SaltyWater1]

@snorgisborg2 And you're a measly person who enjoys arguing on YouTube. Please, stop being a pathetic troll, get off your computer and stop trying to find faults with anything and everything. Positivity! Pathetic cunt.

[snorgisborg2]

@SaltyWater1 Not anything and everything just stupid little shit for brains like you that don't know shit

[SaltyWater1]

@snorgisborg2 Don't know shit? Christ, just move on with your life. You truly are a pathetic moron.

[SaltyWater1]

@snorgisborg2 Everyone is different by the way! I'm sorry we weren't made in your image as apparently, you're the pinnacle of all looks. 

[snorgisborg2]

@SaltyWater1 What the fuck are you talking about dipshit? Cum water whatever.

[ziiru17]

Nick is so cute!

[heroinhero69]

nick valensi is a beautiful man...and im a straight guy

[retrocareermelted]

wtf? since when did nick valensi try to sound like obama with a british accent?

[AlexisBux]

he sounds like Jeff Bridges, non?

[swannkiss]

@miller2235 He always talks with fake British accent?

[TheJelly1990]

@swannkiss because his wife is a british

[miller2235]

Neon trees in the background?

^_^

[yolo1998]

6 4' of pure guitar legend. Love him.

[swannkiss]

What's up with his accent?!?

[miller2235]

@swannkiss its how he talks ^_^

[queefstorm]

Good God, he is so tall.

[pullywullypirate]

@queefstorm yeh my mate met him and said how tall he is, im 6 3 and he said he was a lot taller than me

[xerhoffx]

I know who you are obviously. :p

[Dmeta19]

she wants his johnson

[TheJelly1990]

yeah they all grown ups now . all of them are in the 30s have kids and a marriage to keep .

[Revoltingsheeple]

@TheJelly1990 Is that what makes you a grown up?

[celinapaz1251]

forever. fucking. swooning.

[fuckxyeahhh]

he wants her.

[jagwarluver]

I love how he says hello darling =D

[pastlimitfuture]

he's a giant lol

[MrGuitaroo]

i love how everyone did their own thing - fab had little joy, julian went solo,albert went solo, nikolai had nickel eye-and nick just sat on his arse (though he had to take care of his children)

[LerayAndCo]

@frykitty37 why?

[ka17mcr]

Me encanta Nick, aunque debo admitir que se ve más maduro, ya se le empiezan a notar los añitos... Aún así.. me encanta

[dragonb803]

All three presenters look thoroughly displeased in that tiny shot after the interview...who would be displeased after watching that?

[Reflectinglight18]

hopes he has an equally good time in Austin this October! SQUEE

[googletier]

Lol, "What's your name? I'm Nick." Like, o rly?

On the other hand, they did have some truly awful interviewers over the years, some of them actually didn't know the band members' names.

[JakksMum]

He is so wired.

[chelseamurray]

homie loves his low cut shirts

[tonyhq1992]

@chelseamurray ahahahaha funny ass dude

[ROFLORAMA]

1:55

Smoke pot :D

[ox092]

lol Nick is hilarious.

[pullywullypirate]

@hernandez4347 i found out he is 6 4

[ConnorEdge]

Awkward interview xD

[lilliesNbees]

didn't hear nick say "like" even once. haha jk

[pinkplacebo]

I guess how they draw lots to do the interviews xD

[falll002]

fearne cotton is smitten with him

[stereoheadshizune]

I envy Nick....he's like the tallest person alive or something.....and yeah this is coming from a 4-foot-9 girl.....MAN I wish I was tall as him! LOL

[ubanare]

@stereoheadshizune

Not as tall as Nikolai... or is he?

Niko is pretty damn tall too.

[johannaGreiff]

They. are. back. :D!

[pbattovaz]

"see you later" (...backstage! hahahaha...)

[SushiPandaEggroll]

Aww! They grow up so fast. xD

[andc1986]

Wow! I am really surprised. Usually The Strokes are very hard people to interview and Nick had been known as the stuck up one but I guess they're over that whole thing as they have grown older and are willing to do interviews and even be nice about it, or in this case be delightful. It could have been an awkward interview if it had been done 2 or 3 years ago but Nick made it funny and interesting. Thanks for posting!

[theradioactiveyes]

I have a few things to say:

A.Nick Valensi is now my favorite Stroke

B. I'm glad that they did this interview

C.I'm glad that The Strokes are "back"

D.I'm really excited for album number four

and

E. LONG LIVE THE STROKES!

[noname887]

haha i love nick

and the reporter sounds like Jane from Tarzan LOVE IT!

[stereoheadshizune]

@noname887 that mde me laugh, seriously XD

[noname887]

@stereoheadshizune lol!

[luusena]

hahaha i have the impression that nick is sober and high at the same time. dont know why.

[yattababypies]

my god he's so tall! haha

[joshwhalen17]

@yattababypies

Lol, yeah, he's 6' 4".

[Derrchar]

i hear "what i heard" from the most vage-tastic band...Blondie!

[jaijosh]

is she just short or is he really tall or is it just the camera angle??lol

[Spankyattack2013]

he like takes on an accent with her sometimes haha

[hernameisSJ]

@Spankyattack2013 I was thinking that!!! hahaha

[hernameisSJ]

@Spankyattack2013 Haha I know! "Should something go wrong... not my 'folt'!"

[kawaiiibunni]

get a haircut like Room on Fire pleeease?

[guitargod5656]

he broke the zoom.......

[Geekernator21]

@guitargod5656 lol nikolai the bassist broke the zoom. not nick the guitarist.

[guitargod5656]

@Geekernator21 i thought it was short for nickolai hahahahaha

[CindyOhCindy]

What's my boyfriend doing there? Oh Nick!

[Ghostymp]

[mindcloudcinematics]

1:01

[TheSchoolsux345]

heeey i love devendra banhart!!!!

[mrPOTatomuffins]

@SheeperCell no i respected bellamy and all but nick valensi is in a league of his own

[oeyvind93]

He is grown up!

[Ximenex]

I miss when they were drunk yunkies though :(

[noreeneeron]

=))

[DeltaConcept]

I feel like he has somehow gotten wiser over the past 4 years...

[carlo88moe]

@DeltaConcept yeah, he doesnt say "like" 10 times per sentence anymore, to be expected, its been awhile

[Shoopdelaang]

oh miy god

i love him

i love him

[mrsbrandonflowers1]

Nicks so lovely! And so cute! Omgosh!

[soundofconfuuusion]

thanks for the rip, lousie! oh, he's so lovely..

[cachiruleta]

never heard him taking jajajaj

[lozkopij]

hehe, Nick's charming goodbye made me smile!

[pillonsin]

YESSS!!! nicjk 

[dk212]

Seems like these guys are getting better with interviews. A couple of their early interviews are pretty funny to watch, they all say like one word and the interviewer looks like she is ready to rip her hair out. lol

[KickenItOldSchool]

@dk212 hahaha yeah and they never give serious answers

[chemepuppie]

@dk212 i agree they were really one word interviews like Kristen steward, kinda akward and stuff, and Now way much better indeeddd!

[ashoftomorrow]

aw nick! god, what a sweet human being and he's so interesting and talented and handsome as well. all around, he's probably one of the greatest guys ever.

[SamiaLOLZ]

well. i hate fearne cotton.

[mariaonlyliveonce]

he's very nice (:

i don't know, i just feel like the strokes aren't drunk boys anymore, they're grown up.

[ELM3RBEATLES]

@mariaonlyliveonce they got drunk on thir free days and julian...almost every festival on stage =) but they werent drunk boys as you say. i think that merely theyre taking the whole bussiness more seriously i guess and theyre more outgoing now at least in interviews instead of being all quiet and shit haha

[mariaonlyliveonce]

@ELM3RBEATLES Oh come on, they were young boys, and they were drunk, haha. But i know what you mean. I also think that they feel more confident, because lets face it, THE STROKES ARE CLASSICS ALREADY, they conquered their space. And also, since they're kinda lost a little bit of the "hypeness", people stopped judging and talking shit about them, i guess.

I miss the good old days, tough, haha.

[stereoheadshizune]

@ELM3RBEATLES yeah maybe they felt like they weren't taken seriously as artists in the past.....which is probably the reason why they're actually using sentences now in their interviews....haha ...I dunno, I kinda like the grown up Strokes.

[stereoheadshizune]

@mariaonlyliveonce yeah. I kinda felt that too about them...they're having more fun with their interviews now, and for some some reason I feel that they're connecting more with their fans these days. they're back, AND THEY'RE BETTER THAN EVER. Nick is the MAN. :D

[wertyuri]

@mariaonlyliveonce YEah

[rollingrockbrew]

@mariaonlyliveonce i know it sucks eh?

[zanepolowek]

Not a good thing:(

[nblBer]

as a matter of fact everyone enjoyed them as drunk boys, so...

[libertine94x]

nick is so lovely!!

and i'm really glad he's had a hair cut.

in my oppinion, he looks much better :)

[twostoopiddawgs]

Asal;dkfjsdl;kfj omg.

[mrspixiedust]

nick:very excited ...nice to meet you to.....see you later o_O

interview:see later? xD
