[thissickkness]

Best song ever!

[thejeeean]

4:20

[JacobMorris18]

I pray they do an all "Is this it" tour someday.

[xXJEashXx]

When The Strokes were at their prime. This song always makes me think about the past.

[euyfdvfhj]

@xXJEashXx I think all the songs from the first album do, especially The Modern age and Hard to explain.

[pinerdo12]

@twostepsteezy dude nothing i just think is sick how they can pull it off and still have a great performance dude

[vvikkzzskk8]

[iplaytheguitar73]

this place looks like it would be sick to play

[ThePopsicleAddict]

I know at these MTV shows, people aren't aloud to dance or stand up, but with The Strokes, I don't even know how I could refrain myself from NOT getting up and going absolutely crazy! I'd have to glue myself down haha.

[Mrpoteks]

♥♥♥♥♥♥ fufu,elham,ronggong,along ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[TheIRiShCaSaNoVa]

they always say a story tht cheers u up...like a lifes to short message...articulate..raw..wit­ty..an sing concepts with all the right reasons!

modern day role models......room on fire<3

[BigEv9]

This song will be played at my funeral!!

[lobis19]

stylish greatness just that

[TomFromCanada]

There is something really special in this song that always gives me chills. Right when they get into the chorus for the first time. After the first "raised in Carolina" thing, that first gear change into the chorus just rocks, I dont know why.

[DeadPixel00]

The Strokes > The Beatles

[psycho826]

[fredgust84]

I remember exactly where I was when I heard this song for the first time, I'm so proud of myself right now !

[themiggzone]

Ha look at 3:03 to 3:07 theres a guy shaking his head in the back.

One of the greatest by the strokes, march will come soon...

[91UnderControl]

i think this is the only band perfect at live

[Gdawgy4]

They were totally drunk/high. They messed up a little in the beginning lol. They are still amazing live.

[fuckamericanidiot]

i love how albert plays the same one chord all the way through the pre-chorus and the chorus

[pstrokeslibsarctic]

oh my god.. am i here in 70's ???????

[festrokes]

im not like that

[bybaam]

im drunk and its hard to explain

[psycho826]

@bybaam you just did...?

[bybaam]

@psycho826 :)

[psycho826]

@bybaam lmao

[dougiedannyluv]

I love the head-bobbing guy at 3:03.

[Three1Bravo]

@dougiedannyluv it looks like he has water in his ear.

[trukrump]

[cocker505]

[karenchuy420]

[97ros97]

these lyrics are amazing....

only a genius could have thought of them..... but since he is one .... well that just makes sence! =)

[usmclown420]

[desasterz]

I love this song so much...

[rakuencallisto]

@desasterz

the drum groove is so much fun to play.

[vizionofdivision]

@desasterz me to...

[Naytinfinity]

the video makes it look old.

[bathinthefountain]

fav song atm. :)

[joesete]

melhor música da década

[gtyler7292]

lol whats nick doing with that girl in the beginning

[JamesLeighIlling]

Can anyone tell me if this song is in G Major or E Minor and why?

[paraquemolestarseenp]

I think it's in G major, just because it starts with G. Although, both are theorically correct, since E minor is the minor relative for G Major.

[LowBudgetProduction3]

0:21 "hiya fab!!"

LOL

[nbrenni]

drunk but awesome

[iLoveJerryHsu]

I love how this is slower than the original.

[alexbeswick1988]

hahahahaha genius.... parodying Elvis's 68 comeback special....

[haroof]

@alexbeswick1988 What's genius about it?

It's been done many times before.

[ExportTV]

Amazing performance - I remember when this full concert came as a bonus DVD with "Is This It" - priceless!

[blinkmeblazer182]

priceless? wasn't it like twelve bucks?

[strokesloverforever]

today is Julian C's Birthday!

[Nikopse6]

[JayyDeeeee]

[cuckoo4strokes]

they played in LA!!! i wish i were there but sadly i didnt even know they existed because i barely started being a fan in 2004 thats why:(

[rob5000x1]

i cqnt wait for the new album, im in desperate need of some strokes

[guttatogold]

agreed

[714a13x909]

There is a new album coming out? it seems as if they get worser every time, it sucks, know. is this it was the best one yet.

[rob5000x1]

well idk about that, room on fire was pretty incredible, is this it might be a bit better, first impressions has some great songs but some really bad ones too

[sk8in4god]

like electrictyscape and killing lies :/

[marin43]

I love electricity scape!

[kingkad3]

Thats exactly how I feel

[hendrix201]

I don't know man I've been listening to them from the start and each album is as good as the next in a different way.

[NestMart]

i totally agree, even though i think Is This It is a brilliant album. Room On Fire disappointed me very much, and i don't like to taint my view of the strokes so i just listen to their first album

[cityofsylmar818]

u dont know shit!

do me a favor go kill your self:]

[Julimonx]

they played in LA !?

oh well i was only like 8 then.. aha

[ktythabest]

[desasterz]

for that song, they should have kept the dark adience with the light stage for the whole song. ift fits with the sound and concept.

[Turtledude193]

my favorite song by them

[Duende04]

they look so retro in this ...i hope rhe new album return to the old times sound...like is this it..my english not perfect

[TheStrokeGuy]

i agree with you man!

[hgldypgldy]

yeah dude, your english is definitely not perfect!

[Duende04]

[uberrokk]

[ginastripes]

i read that julian said that theyre new album was gonna be a mix between the 70's and the future...it'll be fuckin great none the less!

the strokes!! <333

[Kylehasabeard]

oooohh...where did you hear that??

[ginastripes]

[Kylehasabeard]

That makes me even more unbelievably excited.

[ginastripes]

[muquinhas]

[vitoczek]

[Nikopse6]

[rob5000x1]

[chitarristarockfolle]

mitici siete mitici

[fuch3131]

JULIAN CASABLANCAS

[2glassbottle2]

i love this song

[guillermo8]

we shared some ideas.... all obseded with fame.....

[TagKeast]

i LOVE the break at 2.19 and when they all kick back in. but imo they should have made it longer!

[TheStrokes56]

Excellent concert. Très grand groupe

[carhan24]

I dont know how nick´s legs are able to keep him and his guitar standed up...they are so thin

[kurbina1251]

thats the lighting from the floor. their legs arent that thin

[wildkyote]

DUDE...JULIAN SO HOTTTTT!!!

[pbsurferr]

just started to listen to these guys. wow, already one of my favorites

[Marqene]

[RootBeerFloatz]

[mylesmedlin55]

[giuseppppppeee]

[andrez1199]

i love how julian doesnt even realize how godly his voice is

[AshwinR]

wow, wrong

[m1k3x07]

That shot of Nick at 3:20 is so badass, I love it!

[dermotoblong]

what a fucking great first album the strokes made.

[Twizzlleerr]

Compton people suck.

Guitarist goes up on em at 1:42 and they just sit there lookin at him...Damn ghetto byatches.

[dialblova]

this band has changed my life for the better.....

they just give out this feeling of just living life to the fullest, and it hits me every time i hear this album.....

Simply beautiful....

[galazka5rebeccas]

CANT BELIEVE THIS IS LIVE SO GOOD

[zackamundo22]

I think the correct genre is bad ass. Seriously, they can sound like nothing and still be cool.

[allstarchick87]

seriously it doesnt matter about the genre only if its good music or not! and this is most definetly good music! ;)

[malqaeda]

Who gives a fuck what genre they are... they're the strokes!

[GotsTricks]

Still my favorite video on youtube, thanks.

[Caspernil]

These Performances from LA.

are just so fucking awesome..

hands down.. fucking awesome.

[x23likwid23x]

ive never heard any other band like them

thats what makes them so awesome!!!

[pianoCiD]

yep theyr totally awesome

[Baparacha]

music wise their not punk n other ways attitude n not giving a shit is kinda punky

[stussy23peace]

there not punk at all!

they dont try to be any genre.

thats why they are so fuckin amazing!

they are the best band out right now period.

[m1k3x07]

Fuck yeah they are!

[franko6262]

They are not punk. What the hell are you talking about?

[m1k3x07]

T_________T, when he said they're the best band out right now period.

[franko6262]

Oh. My apologies, I thought you were saying that they were punk.

[Leftyguitarplayer123]

Its not that they avoid any genre, they just dont sound like anything else

[Rotesand]

It's independent rock -.- and they are awsome ;)

[act0joakim]

theyre not indie. I think the correct genre is Garage rock revival

[thereikfish]

it is!! good job

[GotsTricks]

God I love this band. They're punk but in a new way, look at the audience. Just nodding along, hearing the lyrics, which I've always found to be a bit deep, and inspire my own.

[GoodDharma5]

Is there a DVD that this is from? I'd like to know.

[m1k3x07]

I too would like to know!

[rorylewis06]

me three!

[dannybiach]

me four!

[123adrianman123]

it wasnt a dvd it was on tv

[welooklikegiants]

I like it right here but i cannot stay...such a good line

[BillyArtillery]

agreed.

[kali69boy]

no shit

[WarmRootBeer]

Wow, somebody named kali69boy needs a hug!

[Parklife85]

too slow IMO

[happyjack80]

fuck i miss the old strokes

[miralyse]

i know their new album sucks ass except for a few songs! and room on fire and is this it every song is fucking incredible

[noctus666]

Fuck ppl who hates the strokes, I love them =)

[mywordthatwasfun]

they are so fucking amazing.

[darko11121986]

god i remember listening to this in highschool! where did the time go???

[darko11121986]

im not ashamed to bring up the strokes in music conversation. when they first made it they were so much better different than anyone else

[BillyArtillery]

excellent

[dermotoblong]

i dont care what they say about the strokes. their first album (and this song in particular is fucking class)

[biglegend123]

what do people say about em?im a bit of a noob to this

[thedood332]

all obsessed with fame... says we're all the same.... oh i dont see it that way

[nico323las]

Well I am too young

And they are too old!

:D

[notjesuszamorano]

this song breaks my heart, every time.

fucking awesome!

[pillonsin]

its funny how in the middle where they brake.. ppl think they are done and clap,. and then they come back with such power, haha awsome

[danurah]

im pretty sure everyone there was familiar with the song.. You just dont walk onto a Strokes MTV $2 Bill filming set, without knowing what the fucks going on =P.

Pretty sure they were just clapping cause the song, and the stokes, rocked!

[pillonsin]

but ppl sometimes bring friends.. theres always the ignorant. but i agree with u.

[samoshitt]

I hate it when people cheer at the pause
