Lol poor guys, they've been in The Strokes for almost 20 years and never really disbanded, even when disagreement, solo projects and fights were happening. I think it's good to have each member get some breathing room before coming back together to make music. This is why every album is so different from the previous one in the first place.
✨ Alex talking about Is This It ✨: “I used to play that first album in college all the time, when our band was starting. Loads of people were into them, so loads of bands coming out sounded exactly like them. I remember consciously trying to NOT to sound like The Strokes, but I still loved that album. They were the band that encouraged me to rip the knees of my jeans and write in them on marker pen. I wrote on them in red ink, “I’ve got a soul and I’m super bad!”. Have you ever heard de Monkeys’ version of Take It Or Leave It? We did it on French TV when they asked us to do a cover... it was terrible, but I enjoyed it! I saw them live on the tour for the second album, when they played Alexander Palace [in 2003]. Me, [Matt] Helders and Andy [Nicholson, ex-Arctic Monkeys bassist] got the National Express coach down to London to see them. We met Pete Doherty in the crowd that day. It was an amazing gig.”
0:30 "Alex, I get that you wanted to be one of the Strokes, but it's been 5 years since the incident and you need to move on buddy. Old dreams die sometimes."
Imagine if once The Strokes release their new album they have the Arctic Monkeys your with them 😭😭 I would pay whatever amount of money to go to that show
Strokes was a big part in his passion and come up for AM, Both wonderful bands in my opinion. These are two bands that anybody should listen to l, you will definitely find at least one song you will like from each band.
Just young people having a good time. My brother was in the mosh pit at their Brisbane show in 2019. He came out with a missing shoe and a ripped up shirt, the crowd was mental that night! I enjoyed watching the carnage from up in the seated stand haha
He is one of the strokes in my heart. Artic monkeys, kings of leon, and the killers all seemed to be born out of the wave the strokes made back in 2001.
@Michael H. does it really matter that much to you that you have to keep plastering it in the comments? you like the strokes we get it, let ppl have their opinions....
@Michael H. mate I'm not disagreeing with you but this guy isn't even trying to claim that AM are better? he's just giving an opinion and you seem so insecure on the matter that you need to tell everyone your opinion and why it's right
Just wait I bet, one of the Strokes albums will have a Alex Turner Ft. or there's gonna be a time when they both have concerts in same venue and they will both have a song together. I mean give the people what they want!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Alex Turner wants to be one of the Strokes more than any of Strokes.

the two guys in the crowd when they cover reptillia 😳
I got a bit confused when i saw nick wearing a rastafari hat, but then i realized that’s not nick
looks like Dev Hynes
I need a high quality studio recording of them covering "Reptilia" PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN ALEX!!!
Nou
Ehhhhhh idk bout that
It probably wont sound so raw and unpolished as they did back then
lol oresuki

I’m sorry but that was as if Elvis came up with his version of it, I wish I’d never heard it

Just proves to you how The Strokes truly are the best band.
@Michael H. shut up michael
@Michael H. Yeah you're my problem
Compared to the exploding hearts, they both wack.
Michael H. Humbug is better than anything The Strokes ever made, and I love The Strokes too.
daurpm bullshit it is I love humbug but come on man
poor, he just wanted to be one of the strokes : (
hug me
0:29 His head is shaped like a guitar pic
When one of your favorite lead singers wants to be your favorite lead singer
Now, we just need The Strokes covering the Arctic Monkeys 🙂
Theyre barely get along and make some stuff, let alone covering other band songs
God no
He wanted to be one of the strokes for a reason
They don't play crap
We do not, nor have we ever, nor will we ever need that.
Imagine if once The Strokes release their new album they have the Arctic Monkeys your with them 😭😭 I would pay whatever amount of money to go to that show
Are the strokes releasing a new album?
There’s no new album stopping giving people hop they stopped since 2016 give up on them
Gilberto Gomez ominous you are. I wouldn’t say to give up on them, you never know what the future holds
Jade Mclaeritie well that’s true I guess I’ll still give them a chance I’ll hold on to that tiny little piece of hope

Hey, look at the bright side, if he was one of The Strokes we wouldn’t have Arctic Monkeys

Funny, my old friend said the same thing ten years ago. Now I like all the songs.
Im not that of a big fan of arctic monkeys, but fluorescent adolescent is on my top 5 favourite songs of all time for sure
Threat of Joy is still my favorite song :,)
I think I would pass away if I went to a the strokes concert and Alex Turner was there
I was so happy when I saw the is this it cover, my favourite band covering my favourite strokes song
1:09 what's up with the audience? Hahahaha these people went crazy but Alex was so into The Strokes to notice it😂😂
The audience was trying to be a dope energetic crowd but in reality just all looked like they are on drugs. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Niiummy Sarang haha love this. It’s like he is in is in the room alone lost in the music. Alex Turner is cool AF. Love him
To be perfectly honest I was so into Alex Turner being into the Strokes that I missed those guys first watch through
Just young people having a good time. My brother was in the mosh pit at their Brisbane show in 2019. He came out with a missing shoe and a ripped up shirt, the crowd was mental that night! I enjoyed watching the carnage from up in the seated stand haha
I find kinda cute that my two favorite bands are fans and respect each other a lot.
alex’s attitude during Is this it is my whole mood
You could have included when he says "The Strokes are up, aren't they?" at Eurockeenes 2006.

Alex was so happy when covering Reptilia
Alex is a boss in his own band but this video shows how no one can beat julian and the strokes.
I never knew I needed that FWN era take it or leave it cover until now. Thank you
The real question is, What does Julian think about this?
Apparently when whatever people say came out he said that AM were really good
They hung out last year
But what does Corey Taylor think about this?

he made me love the strokes after i watched the take it or leave it cover and now theyre one of my favorite bands :)

Oh yeah!
It was on brazil show right?
the video of him attending the concert literally makes me wanna cri it's so cute :') :') :')
Well thats the whole reason he started his band
jorge villarreal maybe
worth?
0:40 alex's singing in Last Nite sounded so good, his vocals actually fits the song
I just wanted to be one of the strokes
0:31 Jamie absolutely enjoying it
Can’t fault him, but although the sound can be replicated, Julian’s voice is out of this world, it’s what sets them apart, try as he may
is this it fits his singing style so well
To be fair when I played in a band the only song we ever covered was the strokes.
As a HUGE fan of both, I can confirm that THİS İS HEAVEN to my ears
he just wanted to be one of the strokes
This is the most indie thing I've seen😭
0:55 Alex turner.... Speedrun reptilia
That save going back into the chorus was clutch
OMG YOU HAVE THE REPTILIA LIVE WITH QUALITY
The strokes: simply existing
Alex: *mhm thats me there*
1:17 the guy with the stripes shirt is Alex getting in the strokes stage just to be one of them
I dunno why but I really want a video where Alex throws his slide after Humbug solos.
i got the strokes vibes when i heard “a certain romance” for the first time,, then i saw this video,,, what a coincidence
Can’t wait to hear Alex Turner to cover Ode to the Metz. Would be interesting
That reptilia cover was absolutely amazing
Pretty good cover band, hope they make it out there
Blood Orange (Dev Hynes) at 2:30 when he wasnt Blood Orange. His switch up in aesthetic and sound is insane
I just wanted to be Alex Turner saying he wanted to be one of the Strokes.
I am a simple man. If he loves The Strokes, I love them too
Just wait I bet, one of the Strokes albums will have a Alex Turner Ft. or there's gonna be a time when they both have concerts in same venue and they will both have a song together. I mean give the people what they want!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
