Julian Casablancas - Out of the Blues with the Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

[sharkpecker]

i used to like casablancas until i realised he associated with blacks

[anh757]

@sharkpecker wow

[DonVueltaMorales]

The Roots are caught in this amazingly intense groove, from which their heads and limbs cannot escape. Just plain thrilling.

[SophieAmazing]

His voice makes me want to melt... Oh Julian, can't you sing just for me?

[cheesypuuf]

[trikytrumpet]

Julian Casablancas seems pretty cool.

[jmariemo]

Oh, Julian. How could you be so perfect for me?!

[uncmeister]

Geez, he's such a great singer. :D Not that many people can sound so good while singing so low.

[rajivk91]

perfect.

[SushiPandaEggroll]

I like when he says "When you're pissin' on my casket." :D

[stankler]

hes not known for amamzing choruses.amamzing singer...dont like it?go listen to limp bizkit.ah..the velvet underground new life breathed into .superb melody/harmony.timeles endless.

[djoxer]

roots rulez!

[stankler]

great.what he says.my anger also turned to bitterness etc...nice lyrics.he sums up the human condition here.i cant speak for you but for me yeah.Lady Gaga is full of shit

[tobex011]

@stankler

:)

[jonny1251]

The chorus sounds like "Shook me all night long" by ACDC

[garrey7]

ole boy on the tuba is freakn awesome...lol

[Seneschal118]

@garrey7 That's not a tuba, it's a sousaphone. Still awesome though.

[PirateNinjaSistersz]

@sharks5678

well thats mighty sexy

[PirateNinjaSistersz]

how tall is he?

[sharks5678]

@PirateNinjaSistersz  6'1 i think.

[Albee91]

i wasnt implying that all black people listen to one genre of music, i was merely saying that i like that theyre jamming with julian casablancas

[bublegvsmefever]

@Albee91 I know thats what u meant. i was jk :) i know it doesn't matter what color u are. I think purple people should enjoy this!! He's a lyrical and musical genius ♥

[bublegvsmefever]

beautiful version of this song..............should be recorded and sold........

[kukunu]

I love julian he is awesome and this is a great version with the roots...yum yum

[ellendz]

FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME.

[Albee91]

i like how the bothas are all into the music!

[boredomisnevergood]

@Albee91 brothas? T___T

[bublegvsmefever]

@Albee91 Not all black people ONLY like rap and hip hop, lol. I LOVE THIS♥♥♥!!!!!!!!!!! Call me an Oreo cookie, i guess.... :)

[mykillmyers17]

itz how down red went fuckin All day l0ng

[drunkandmisguided]

I like Julian, I do. I really do. That universal kind of care where you just care about everyone. But... I didn't know that his heart was so 80s. To the core it seems.

I mean, feather earring? I don't think I'll ever get into his solo stuff right now. It's not bad, It's just not for me. His voice is so great that I just don't prefer it doing that. But yeah,

[JarobinsRadio]

@drunkandmisguided thats not wear his heart is, hes just being eperimental

[abasolo63]

@drunkandmisguided I couldnt stop busting after i saw that feather earing LOL fuckin guy man woooo :B

[annamae80]

love the song! love julian! can't for the new strokes album! stop hating!

[sortilegus]

a little heavy on the synth, but maybe it's just the recording

[jmcuervoo]

ddsfsdfsd

[jmcuervoo]

now hes gonna be like joey ramone... its getting worse jc. back to the strokes dude

[andrewaskins1]

facts of life. Ok if your white and you play w an all black band Even if its the roots you automaticaly classify as a douchbag

[KickenItOldSchool]

@andrewaskins1 u mad bro?

[LittlekittyownsU]

I want one feather earring now hehehehe

[GrImM2x]

he's with the strokes right?

[ModernApple]

I love how low his voice goes.

[vicesquad08]

gonna see him live the 12th....been wanting to see the strokes for awhile but i will have to settle for him alone :D i hope he dont wear his sunglasses when i see him though

[JapoParanoid]

Mejor imposible ♥

[takethatutwat]

great job! i think it's really great that you've preserved the original aspect ratio. doesn't look stretched even the slightest bit

[josa19042]

Does anyone know what brand his sunglasses are? I'd love to get some like those. HELP plz.

[epson4000]

one of the few albums he owns just happens to be the essential johnny cash :)

[tofuubunny]

this was my birthday!!!! i love you julian!

[Imij11]

He has a good voice, he's on pitch, but he sounds weak here.

[Lichstralen]

@Imij11 I think the mix has his voice too low

[TheSchoolsux345]

he could lose the hairpiece though lol

[jeanbriandeparkinson]

nice

[Redrum267]

No assholes, to those who thumbed me down, i meant that it gives off a deceptive personality...not they necessarily are. GAGA, is a big lie to begin with...she looks like a fucking Lemming (look it up!!). She need to wear shades!

[Redrum267]

i hate it when musicians wear sunglasses at interviews. It displays a deceptive personality...

like Lady gaga...OH GOD!

[sunriseRISE]

@Redrum267 .. bollocks not here it doesnt ..... jules is  just doing a JOHN LENNON 'REVOLVER LOOK''.......AND IT ROCKS.... ...

[Tauvy]

I consider it more like an alternate persona. When you're a musician, you REALLY have to separate your personal life from your stage persona. Otherwise it wrecks your personal life by taking over. Sunglasses help a lot.

[Redrum267]

@Tauvy Those are your considerations, your hypothesis...again, when you do not show eye contact, in any way, shape, or form...(and no it wasnt sunny in the studio, so we can scratch that "it was bright in there" statement), it shows a coy personality. Also, it is beyond rude! Would you wear a cap in school? No right? They would ask you to remove it. Shit, if i was interviewing, that would be my FIRST request...TAKE OFF YOUR SHADES PLEASE.

NO MATTER THE SITUATION! FAMOUS OR NOT FAMOUS!

[welooklikegiants]

@Redrum267 he wears sunglasses, that's his thing. Get over it

[Redrum267]

@welooklikegiants LMAO ok....ok...sighs...lol...

[NoslemProductions]

shut up.

[xpledgeturnprestigex]

i love his solo songs. different vibe to the strokes, obviously, but it's Julian and it's amazing. I want that feather thing, he rocks it.

[bazrey]

@xpledgeturnprestigex fuck oath man that feather thing rocks

[tannsauce15]

and i like his johnny cash vibe

[tannsauce15]

that native american hair thing he wears is rad

[didibjj]

@tannsauce15 agree i might try it out but do you like braid it or what?

[sergstash87]

new favorite song! i want those sunglasses they look bad ass...anyone know the brand?

[c0urtcourt]

@sergstash87 omg i want to know what kind they are too! he has the coolest sunglasses but no one knows what brand they are - i am think they might me raybans because of the writing on them

[jeanbriandeparkinson]

ray-ban Wayfarer

[jeanbriandeparkinson]

ray-ban Wayfarer

[dreadbet]

this dude is fuckin style

:P

[yailenpazos]

I love this song of his :)

[micalove]

This is fucking great.

[NoYouHaveProblems]

so many instruments

you would think it would sound horrible

but julian pulled it off

like always :)

[summergiles]

needs more cowbell

[tinysolodancer56]

@summergiles you win at life for this comment.

[thunderkrooked]

kinda got a weird bob dylan vibe outta this performance. its good tho.

[Mrpujanani1dolla]

out of the blue, 4 chords of the apocalypse, 11th dimension, river of brakelights, and left and right in the dark are the best on the phrazes for the young album

[twifofi]

im a huge Strokes fan, i even have 12:51 around my wrist. but the solo stuff does very little for me. but this version with the roots is way better. cant wait to hear Jules teamed up with valensi/hammond again.

[lippskiid]

@twifofi no lie,the tattoo's a little creepy

[lkjhgfdsa123able]

....moretti too

[sox999]

his vocals are fantastic in the verses but not so much in the chorus... he's a fantastic low crooner, he should write more songs like that, it's def his strength vocally.

[mrneeraj]

i'm realizing that his lyrics are underrated

[freebass090]

he should stick to the strokes...

[yukimura506]

hmm its true that the strokes are the best band around, but julian should deserve credit for ebing the best SOLO artist too ;D

and honestly, some songs are as powerful as anything off is this it or room on fire.

[jezzikaproduction]

his voice cracks at 5:27!

[juliancisthebest]

Lol the feather earring is hilarious!

[kissolife]

Great!!! I stopped my car in the middle of a blizzard and called Princeton's WPRB just to ask "Who the hell IS that?"

[paranoidkid17]

Way better then the album version the album version has too much going on this sounds amazing with a couple of muscians

[xokelleighox]

I was there for this performance! It was the BEST live performance I have ever heard. Julian is incredible.

[Nextdirector123]

I was also there, i'm in the background with the red shirt, green hat....i have my hands in the air 2:10

[mdooley777]

so good

[arandomninja]

i wouldn't doubt it.

[arandomninja]

what the hell is hanging off of julian's head?

[tomgenerazio]

@arandomninja ...... a roach clip w/ a feather on it ? Somking doobs w/ the Roots after the show maybe ... lol

[Monia2222]

feather!

[gmoneypv]

im confused, this was the same night he did "I wish it was Christmas today", but they didnt broadcast this song. very cool though

[ultimategoobah]

for music as amazing as his, I still can't understand why it isn't more popular.

[jhova187]

i dont want it to be so popular!! real music fans know the deal with the strokes and jules..the best!!!

[piespeedracer]

I'm new to the Stokes. im just gonna say wow. I can see the genius in the singing and music. sounds a little like dylan here.

[Annahojan]

@piespeedracer Do you mean Strokes?:) If so; This is one of Julians solo songs, it's not the bands, just his :) Though I love it both! :D

[piespeedracer]

haha, Yea bro the Strokes. They are amazing. I listen to them all day at work and continue when I get home on my pc, lol, I love their sound.

[babibtul]

GOSH! love that drummer. he bangs the drum very peacefully..cmon, look at his hair. he got the soul! hahaha

[sitivvi]

grande performance!!!!! mitico julian casablancas!!!! jo'!!!!

[REPISAGOD]

Quest Love is great on this!

[psc209trk]

sounds like johnny cash a little when julian sings at his lowest

[MattyTheMole]

@psc209trk Sounds like Morrison to me

[yolo1998]

perfection.

[rollingrockbrew]

themic needs to be turned up

[MoonchildMindaugas2]

i actually love it when the voice drowns a bit in polyphonic places.

[guttatogold]

agreed

[hayoush]

caza sounds amazing but the roots i gotta say did a great job they sound exactly like the album and even better

[fazhionrocks]

he is the best he is so handsome

he is the more handsome artist i ever seen in mi life he is so talent

love jules

[ieatkaka]

bellisimo!!!

[deadmandanny88]

Some one sack the sound man.....

[planetearth42]

good point

[dital123]

He's awesome!!! but his voice is a little soft here... I love him anyways!!

[XthestrokesfanX]

thats cuz in some of his songs when hes loud he can go out of his range but it sounds great.its like with the strokes hes loud and his voice raspy but its cool

[dital123]

@XthestrokesfanX yeah, I think I got used to The Strokes haha but his solo project is awesome

[chunkywoman]

awesome

[andymccoy78]

che pezzo splendido.

[geecuey2k]
