The Strokes - 12:51

[chival1228]

no wonder when i watched disney's latest movie (Tron) this is the song that keeps playing in my head

The music video for "12:51", which was directed by Roman Coppola. It resembles a scene out of the futuristic movie Tron. (source: wikipedia)

[iamtheindyman]

TRON



[MEGACAMZ]

One of my favourite song/music video combinations ever.

[dmstyle7]

Kiss me now that I'm older.. I won't try to control you.. Friday nights have been lonely

Take it slow but don't warn me..

[yolo1998]

the strokes are cool, personified.

[EffinEmilio]

Fab looks so casually cool at 00:49

[skhan92]

@EffinEmilio you are so dumb. you are really dumb. fo real.

THATS ALBERT!

[spencer688]

I believe it is the "Tron" theme going on

[zGJungle]

I don't think most of the users will have a clue what tron is :)

[AppleMaster1]

@zGJungle IT'S FUCKING AWESOME. That's what Tron is...

[nmull46]

This song's great, and Room on Fire is by far their best record.

[Kemp10101]

"kiss me now that I'm bored" a great line lol

[nesmits]

[nIcKoLaSSS85]

[interpolluter29]

It's a good example of what the Hives wanted for their third album: guitars that sound like synthesizers.

[specialk25]

jules rules!!

[dougem9er]

meh reptilia is to comercial

[desasterz]

[kzul61]

[kropkaa2]

I dont care what type of music The Strokes are!!it doesnt matter....man

[drcubis]

This video is so cool. Love it.

[sofitini1234]

love jules!

[v01dad3pt]

if the makers of this video are watching.

where to purchase this video?

[Jessishobo07]

Try iTunes

[v01dad3pt]

the gungans in galactic battlegrounds have blaster shields. it would be cool to do a

stereo computer vision trace of a person holding a light source that the blaster shield attaches to. or they could shadow box.

[CruxisProductions]

what the f@#$ kind of planet are you from?

[v01dad3pt]

the planet earth. did you have anything qalitative to say?

[Tommmm00]

What the hell are you talking about?

[v01dad3pt]

like in kamen rider.

[PacGirlPLONCA]

What a nerd.

[v01dad3pt]

nice music video.

[v01dad3pt]

reality.

[RulesOfCanti]

from what I know the glowing effect is done in 2-3 layered video. Exactly the same effect used in the movie Tron which this video makes reference to.

[IronChaos77]

if so i would really like to know how its done so i can put some kick ass vids up

(even if its terribly complicated)

[generalcaron]

that might be a mix of neon and black light

[Someday747]

good question

[lalorock7]

what kinda effect does nick is using?

[Jessishobo07]

Non he's just got the tone on his guitar and overdrive all the way down

[lalorock7]

Mm are you sure?, cus another guy told me that he was using two pedals an distortion/overdrive and a booster, but dont you think he is actually usin some kind of effetct cus i cant find that sound in my guitar.

[Jessishobo07]

He's got the tone all the way down on hit overdrive pedal, (which is a jackle -n- hyde) And the tone on hit guitar down. An he's using the double coil on the neck side.... I can get a similar sound with my Jagmaster Doing the same thing but with a big muff.... There is a interview some where on here where they both talk about it...

[tennal2]

My friend can play this sing and it sounds just like it.

[sofitini1234]

and so?

[pillonsin]

get a shit load of distortion and take off all the tone.. no pedal..

i saw in an interview where nick tells albert how it was a total accident how they didnt have tone at first but they liked how it went with the whole song

[rikirocket]

dude its a synthesized guitar its a pedal just look at nicks feet and u see it

[pillonsin]

what if u dont have a fucking pedal??

where do u think they got the idea from.. later on im guessing they did get a specific pedal. but not in the begning.

[goldensun214]

AHHHHH! i love this song...except the video is giving me a huge headache...lol...the strokes roole

[Dirtcreature]

Arctic Monkeys do a song called Mardy Bum...but The Stroke get to film a video in the style of Tron! Arctic Monkeys blow monkeys...

[patbateman2006]

after the artic fucking monkeys? are you for real..

only serious comments please people.

having worked backstage at oxygen i can tell you the artic monkeys would have blown all of the strokes if they asked nicely....

[StrokeMyPie]

the artic monkeys arent better than 'The Killers' or 'the Strokes' or 'The Enemy' but theyre still good

[marion461]

just after the Arctic Monkeys : ) AMAZING : )

[leoconnell]

good stuff

[rikirocket]

there not after the artic monkeys they are before

[obliviouspet]

Love this song, but i wished they made another version too with only the beginning guitar rifs (also in refrain), and build around in that atmosphere, cuz i really get tranced by that sound. PS: gotta love the midi-sounds

[seandroid]

the strokes fucking rule.

[SomePunkKid123]

i think they are all high during this video

[fumamonourequiem]

i think they're high in all of their videos....specially the reptilia one

[JaminDamon]

their always high or drunk. go to their concerts. bt there awesome live

[fumamonourequiem]

oh i'll defenately try togo to one of those :)

[JaminDamon]

hahahaa

[EGGHEAD47]

nice vid i like tron mint

[SAMMYlaBAMMY]

i'm obsessed with them!

[5eliza87]

in min 0:23 it reminded me of Joy Division's Shadowplay...

They should make a cover as well as the killers did.

[3024938]

I h

ate tron but the str

okes are the best ever.

1 problem though,do ANY girls listen to them.

P.S. I like somday

[davumana]

I listen to them and i LOVE them lol

[3024938]

[StevieMogo]

My favorite songs are Reptilia, Hard to Explain, and the collabortion they did with Regina spektor on "Modern Girls"

[PacGirlPLONCA]

Yeah, i listen to them, my boyfriend got me into them.

[imjayboy]

HOLY HELL !

[lee32uk]

The Strokes are a brilliant band.I love the guitars in there songs and of course Julians vocals.

[chavezmoore]

[Gasp3r]

Awesome song and the album Room on Fire is fucking brilliant. There isn't a weak song on it. Definitely one of my favourite albums.

[BVILLE92]

[Metman19]
