The guitars are so fresh and worn in, crisply and persistently strumming on rhythm and accenting it perfectly on lead, with simple, fresh drum beats and tightly knit, bouncy basslines. The way they create so much with so little will never not astound me.
anyone realise that this is one of their earlier concerts before "room on fire" came out. this means that the song obviously wasn't the "album version" that you are so used to hearing and thusly the words MAY in fact be different. either way, this is a gem, and all albums are great.
I always thought this was The Strokes quintessential song. Perfectly captures their sound and lyric style, and the song is about a feeling or relationship that millions can relate to. It's without a doubt the one Strokes song that has changed the most for me over the past 20 years.
This is amazing. What a band! How could something from 2002 sound so immediately retro but also fresh at the same time? Unreal from the vocals to the composition. We need more from this band.
This is the best song from 'Room on Fire' in my opinion. I remember the joy I felt when this album came out years ago.. Not so much a feeling of joy upon hearing the new tracks from 'Angles'. The first 2 albums had a unique quality and sound which was very much The Strokes.
I wish I was born just a bit before my actual birth year to have experience this era of the strokes live. Something about these old clips has a lot of nostalgia for me and I wasn’t even 5 years old yet when this album debuted.
If only my parents fucked sooner, so I'd have acknowledged The Strokes and went to go see em there and then. Why did I have to be 1 at the time?! Fuck my life 😥
@@ΘεόδωροςΑρετάκης-η7π it's a pretty fantastic album. I'm pretty happy with it too and can't wait to see them in LA (whenever that date becomes finalized lol)
love the strokess!! their music is so rich with all those guitars great vocals and a killer drummer love them!! cnt wait for their new album and julians new solo album later this year!!
Alex White funny cause this song is about friends with benefits and then suddenly someone catches feelings. Maybe in this case you were the one who caught feelings. That's a no do in free term relationships man
Alex W I fell in love with a girl who would lay in bed and listen to this song with me.. we split awhile back.. this song forever makes me think the same. I feel your pain, Alex. Cheers brother.
3 of my favorite songs of the strokes are "You Talk Way Too Much" , "Between Love and Hate" and "Meet Me In The Bathroom" edit: I realize I missed naming many off the album that I think are equally as great, those being: automatic stop, the end has no end, I can’t win
If I ever watch videos from this performance it feels like I've stepped into a time machine. Everything about this band is so perfect, they deserve all the success and none of this bullshit from some fans.
I remember being in high school around the time Is This is It came out downloading live songs off of Napster and I would find songs that were later released on Room on Fire. Some of songs off of Room on Fire could have been on Is this It.... Songs I found were: Ze Newie (Between Love and Hate) I Cant Win Meet Me in the Bathroom You Talk Way Too Much
thekillers1stfan asked me why, in the studio version, they did take out a lyric in. I didn't understand him right and though he meant in this video, so I showed him the moment they sing the lyric.
I lined up for hours in the cold wind & freezing rain to get these tickets at the virgin store on sunset blvd in hollywood... it was worth every nano second!
Meet Me In The Bathroom The Strokes When they say promises They mean promises They'd say, "that's ok, Long as we can celebrate" You see, my uncle would say things would change when he's dead "Meet me in the bathroom" That's what she said I don't mind, it's true. Never was on time Yes, I once was mine Well, that was long ago And darling, I don't mind. Yeah, we were just two friends in lust And baby, that just don't mean much You trained me not to love After you showed me what it was Now she's staring wide-eyed Can't close her eyes Say what? Anywhere is fine just don't waste my time You see, my uncle would say things would change once he's dead "Meet me in the bathroom" That's what she said I don't mind, it's true.

WeeyumEdits and julian's iconic raspy drunken vocals, all combined together and boom 'The Strokes'
Well put. Glad you said that
The Strokes in their heyday were the tightest fucking band ever.
@@okcivicx693 Still are.
chelea sux
I was the guy wearing the Compton shirt!!
Bob Carlino Nice
lucky
COMPTON *points*
You're a fucking legend, I love you bro.
i hope you were really there
Album came out Oct. 2003
they sang this 2002
The lyrics Julian is singing is the original Pre-release Lyrics
Except for the Compton part.... XD

fucking 13 years later but Julian sometimes changes the lyrics when he performs live
This is 2 Dollar Bill.
This performance was even before the is this it album came out.
@@TheAddictiveVideos nah, it was already out by then. released in sept. 2001 but this performance is from feb. 2002
also Between Love and Hate, bcs that song sounds so Is This It. and then theres When It Started that sounds so ROF

Jon Smith I agree
Well they are coming out with a new album April 10
@@gsw2714 And it was great
My favorite album ever
Amen
Freaking love this stuff. It looks and sounds like something from the 70s.
Man, the early 2000's was a weird time. I've never seen a stage that small for a band like them.
They specifically made this stage to look like Elvis' comeback gig. That's why the stage is that small.
This is the best song from 'Room on Fire' in my opinion. I remember the joy I felt when this album came out years ago.. Not so much a feeling of joy upon hearing the new tracks from 'Angles'. The first 2 albums had a unique quality and sound which was very much The Strokes.
gonna see these guys on my birthday in 3 months fuck yeah!!!!!!!
How was it?
They killed it. And they killed him too, I guess.

"I THOUGHT THAT WAS A SONG"
scottyboi Hilarious moment with Fab.

Trevon William sad times
anonymous person I know 😥 but at least the Voidz and CRX are working on some new stuff and it's rumored we may get new Strokes music this year💯👏
1:08 hermosa cancion
the threat of joy melody is pretty reminiscent of this
Cole Madden wha
I hear what your hearing too.
3:54 i guess
This happened the month before I was born. Now that I’m 16, I’m a huge fan of the strokes. Hope they do something in the next few years, if at all.
Do I have news for you
TrinoElrich couldn’t be any happier man! The New Abnormal is so amazing!
@@ΘεόδωροςΑρετάκης-η7π it's a pretty fantastic album. I'm pretty happy with it too and can't wait to see them in LA (whenever that date becomes finalized lol)

love the strokess!! their music is so rich with all those guitars great vocals and a killer drummer love them!! cnt wait for their new album and julians new solo album later this year!!
This song always makes me think of past relationships that could have been :/
Alex White funny cause this song is about friends with benefits and then suddenly someone catches feelings. Maybe in this case you were the one who caught feelings. That's a no do in free term relationships man
Couldn't help it

No wonder why I feel sad right now :’v
Orlando Navarro You aren’t alone my friend.
Give “Kubes” by Machinegum a listen. It will settle your sadness.
COMPTON
1:42 Sounds like "CANTEN".. "Sing!" In spanish LOL
jajaja es cierto :D
this looks like a 90s film or 80s film, just the quality and the look of it. love the strokes
It just hit me that Julian is younger than I am here. To be so talented, enlightened and young...
I love this song... everythings brilliant! from lyrics to bass, they got it all covered!
What can I say they are The Strokes. Cant stop listening to these guys.
Amazing concert back in 2002 :) glad I discovered their music they are my favorite band, can't wait for The Strokes new album to come out!!
i'd pay so much to be in this concert
ten years ago my man... I don't wanna get old..
10 more years my guy, how's being old going for ya?
3 of my favorite songs of the strokes are "You Talk Way Too Much" , "Between Love and Hate" and "Meet Me In The Bathroom"
edit: I realize I missed naming many off the album that I think are equally as great, those being: automatic stop, the end has no end, I can’t win
Isn't Room on Fire phenomenal?
yeeeea 👍😎😎
yeeeea 👍😎😎
for me, 12:51 is my favorite off of that album then those songs :)
Room on fire is my jam
The strokes are the best band you’ll ever hear live the sound is perfect the vocals are great 👍
Sinceramente, es una de sus mejores canciones, que hermoso tema, The strokes son los mejores. :')
0:41 jesus that scream
She was ready for that stroke
i love how he pronounces
The strokes will forever be my favorite band. This is the kinda stuff you wanna show to your kids in the future
be nice if they did more small shows like this, this lighting would go well with Comedown Machine songs. If only practiced like in FIOE days
Agreed
Same, same
same here i never get bored hearing this song over and over
one of my favorite songs by them!
by far my favorite strokes song. just two fucks in lust!!
1:42 “¡CANTEN!” Jajajajaja (sounds like « sing » in Spanish)
"Count it"
Wish this were still a thing.
Why. Why couldn't I have been there? Y. ;____;
peekayyemm I know the feeling man.
i don't think i had even been on this planet for a year when this happened
I know angles just came out today but I cant stop listening to this song.

I Cant Win
Meet Me in the Bathroom
You Talk Way Too Much
what they have is that they're above the cut together, so that when they're seperate, they're still incredible
1:16 might easily be the most excited ive ever gotten for a song to start
Song starts at 1:17
This is my dream concert. I could die happily after I saw this concert.

AGH! I cant stop listening to The Strokes! They are so AMAZING
amo esta cancion y no sabia que la habian tocado en ese show que dieron... me encanta amo a the strokes

muy buena cancion....
So amazing..brings me back to the good old garage rock revival era of 01- 03 :D .
I would loveeeeeeee to be there
brilliant!!!!
best song from strokeess.. just listen to the lyrics.. it totally describes me
I get chills everytime @ 2:03 - 2:16
i love this song
Golden age of the return of rock and roll.
this is the best stroke's song with trying your luck, take it or leave it, last night and you only live once
Meet Me In The Bathroom
The Strokes
When they say promises
They mean promises
They'd say, "that's ok,
Long as we can celebrate"
You see, my uncle would say
things would change when he's dead
"Meet me in the bathroom"
That's what she said
I don't mind, it's true.
Never was on time
Yes, I once was mine
Well, that was long ago
And darling, I don't mind.
Yeah, we were just two friends in lust
And baby, that just don't mean much
You trained me not to love
After you showed me what it was
Now she's staring wide-eyed
Can't close her eyes
Say what?
Anywhere is fine
just don't waste my time
You see, my uncle would say
things would change once he's dead
"Meet me in the bathroom"
That's what she said
I don't mind, it's true.
Never was on time
Yes, I once was mine
Well, that was long ago
And darling, I don't mind.
Yeah, they were just two fucks in lust
Baby, that just don't mean much
You trained me not to love
After you taught me what it was.
ty
The father of art
The silence in the beginning is just like the album!!
oh see my uncle would say things will change when he's dead
this is one of their best songs!!
reminds me of my times in middle school
This song is connected to "uncle's house" on the new album
fav song from them
the alternated outro tho, why hasnt someone talked about this?
Alternate lyrics too, "take them as they come, and shoot them as they run"
I always play this song with this outro haha
@@soundcohert8595 From what I've heard, this was a preview. Room On Fire hadn't been released yet, and this concert was really just for Is This It, so it wasn't really a complete song yet. They just thew it in
i love this song.
wish they would get it goin w/ their 4th album!!
but we all must be patient..
my favorite song
they wrote it on the road when they were touring for is this it ?
lyrics:
They say promises, they mean promises
They'd say, "That's okay, long as we can celebrate"
"Count it"?
My uncle would say
Things would change when he's dead
"Meet me in the bathroom", that's what she said
I don't mind, it's true
Never was on time, yes, I once was mine
Well, that was long ago and girlfriend, I don't mind
Yeah, we were just two fucks in lust
And darling that cause don't mean much
And check this in her prime
I will not rewind
Now there, she's wide-eyed, I can't close her eyes
Anywhere is fine, just don't waste my time
See, my uncle would say
Things would change when he's dead
"Meet me in the bathroom", that's what she said
I don't mind, it's true
Never was on time, yes, I once was mine
Well, that was long ago and girlfriend, I don't mind
Yeah, they were just two fucks in lust
And baby, that cause don't mean much
Take them as they come
And shoot them after they run
do only I hear "and shoot them *after* they run?
Love this song!!!! Love them!!!
I was one month old! haha
I fucking love the ending, it's the only time they ended the song like that
Amazing 👏🏾 🙀
love strokes ♥
Room On Fire is amazing. Fantastic album.
Beautiful men, the Strokes
Well said. When the Black Keys came out with El Camino, I went to the record store and bought another copy of Magic Potion. Still my fav.
this song is so much fun to play
This record looks like from the 70's. That's what make it great!
julian sempre bebado e deprimente e os caras arrebentaando no som
@92declan yeah, espescially when it's right next to "between love and hate". those two songs are a deadly tagteam
Bro first impressions will always be first or second best album
rock wouldn't be the same today without the strokes

They already are
yea!!!!!!!! strokes the best band forever

00:42 yooooooooo
The strokes make the artic monkeys sound like a joke, and it’s no wonder that their lead singer wants to be a stroke, lol.
@cutestkittyface AGREED! I love his style now, and I love his old one!
They were playing at Compton, L.A.
@carlo88moe you're right, it does.
thanks!
Compton fuck yea!!
All of their songs are fucking awesome, but this is their best.
