that would be really fascinating to see what the Nard could drag up. so much has happened the past 19 years and there's gotta be some good touring stories
"These guys are The Strokes" - Interviewer "Ohh really? I love you guys!" - Chick "They suck man, they suck!" - drunk dude in the backround "Is that how you're going to welcome them to Vancouver?" - Interviewer "Fuck off... get out of my town" HAHAHAH
I remember the first time I heard Julians voice and thinking it was the most beautiful life changing sound ever. Yes I find Julian very attractive but there's so much more to him and his music. Its intriguing!
nardwuar was a total dick throughout this interview and i think it's bc since knew that every member of the strokes was the son of a millionaire/celebrity, and they all look like fashion models, nardwuar probably didnt take them seriously. nardwuar's from punk, he probably enjoyed trolling a band he thought were made up of spoiled rich brats whose music would probably suck and the whole band would eventually be forgotten. i think only a single had come out when this interview took place; hardly anyone was aware of the talent of the strokes. nardwuar is a GOAT interviewer, but i think he underestimated these guys. the awkwardness does make this a hilarious interview tho
well, my personal favorite it was one of the first full rock albums I've ever heard and also one of the one that got me into rock at all. I just worded that in an over-opinionated way, I definitely understand "to each his own".
@Francisco Antonio just because you’re famous doesn’t make you not only care about the music. It’s not fully up to yourself to become famous or not there’s a lot of factors lol
Why is nardwuar trying to irritate them so much? He's usually much more humble and excited about the band but he comes off cocky and annoying here. Clearly he could have been able to tell that they weren't in the mood, so why prod them like that?
+Matteo Russo Because that's his style. The great thing about Nardwuars interviews is that you don't hear the usual generic questions and answers. This particular interview occurred during the peak of the Strokes's fame and mania. If anyone is to blame for the mundane vibe of the interview it's Julian's and Nick's egos.
+Charles Cross that's how i know you're stupid. producers dont write shit.. hes a super producer and hes made tons of money and got nothin but platinum plaques 10 yrs straight. anyone who hates on that aint cool period
It's really interesting to see him talk about people caring about their image and not listening to the music yet just before they were about to drop one of the best rock albums of the decade
I think this is the best strokes interview, and possibly the best nardwuar interview. This is their prime. This is him going with the flow, being as honest as possible.
I think this interview with Fab and Nikolai would've been a lot better, at the time. Fab because he's so silly and he could handle Nardwuar and Nikolai because the awkwardness would be ridiculously hilarious.
It seems like Julian is tired of people saying he's just a rich kid and he pays his way through life by being in his dad's shadow. I feel bad that a lot of people think he's stuck up. That's so untrue. I think he acts stuck up now that he's older because he's making fun of what everyone has said about him. I loved at Coachella this year when he talked about arriving on his diamond encrusted private jet - it shows that he's trying not to let it get to him and not take it all too seriously.
I have a theory that Nardwuar is always kind of antagonistic and patronizing. I think his "character" started as a subversive joke (remember, he was in a hardcore punk rock band before all his fame as an interviewer so he's at least somewhat self aware). He's faux-nice but it comes off pretty passive aggressive sometimes. In his early interviews he was regularly combative (eg the one with Beck where he was a total dick). He acted snotty toward a lot of indie acts in the 90s and early 00s. Then suddenly he shifted focus from punk/indie to mainstream rap music, which also seemed odd to say the least. In his interviews with young black rappers for example, you have to wonder if a white Canadian in his 50s is constantly mispronouncing "Lil Uzi" on purpose. Constantly referring to Snoop Dogg as 'Snoop Doggy Dogg' in almost a sarcastic fashion, like he's mocking him to his face. I don't know. His grab bag of tricks can be interesting at times but this interview is a great example of how he's actually kind of an undercover cock.
@@boozerverif I know it was once what people referred to him as, but Nardwuar refers to him (in most of the interviews, years after he became known as just Snoop or Snoop Dogg) by his full name an almost obnoxious amount of times... It comes off almost patronizing to me. It'd be like if someone constantly referred to you by your full name in a conversation. You'd start to be like, why is this person using my full name?
One of Nardwuar’s more awkward interviews but I like to see it because it shows how long he’s been doing this and that not every interview is a banger but interesting in their own way
This is the first interview where I have sided with the band, nard is being a tool. I've never seen that before he's normally really cool and the band are v patient with him.
I know this comment is old, but I think Nard is actually trying to help them because he likes them. Every question I think makes the strokes look good because they’re directed that way. Nardwuar is a master interviewer and if you notice he calls out that rude drunk in a serious tone because he’s embarrassed about that guy treating the strokes rudely.
I think Nardwar was asking these questions so they had a chance to set the record straight about who they are. They are annoyed but the whole time they get a chance to explain who they really are and not let the media talk for them.
Honestly he comes off as weirdly persistent and preconceived (!?). Nardwuar is usually more genuine and more friendly, this is also pretty old, times then were somewhat different.
Nardwar is a good interviewer. I mean, he uses annoying techniques on purpose so he can get a lot of info. He asks questions several times just so the answers get more especific. I mean, this interview is awkward to watch, and if I was Julian or Nick I would be just as uncomfortable as them, but actually this is the best interview to the strokes i've seen so far. Look how much Julian speaks, for gods sake. And all the interesting things he says. Usually other interviewers ask shitty questions and get shitty answers, but the answers of Jules and Nick in this one are gold.
OK, so Nardwuar sort of operates unconventionally because his goal is to really get a rise out of these music icons and surprise them and get them to say and reveal odd shit. Real life reactions. He's being real. He's a legend for a great reason.
the american/canadian cover for is this it is not a diagram of the big bang but its a picture of the tracks that charged particles make as they move through a bubble chamber
This is the worse Nardwuar interview I've seen yet. He usually pays a great compliment to the artist he is interviewing, and portrays their artistic and cultural references in a very informed way. In this case, he is just taking the piss... maybe he just likes hip hop and punk and doesnt respect the strokes music ? If thats so well, this is one interview he maybe shouldn't have done... or I at least shouldnt have seen.
this is not it, if you look closely, you can see a much music microphone, this was the periode where nardwuar didn't had the liberty he used to because of much music.
I think people are taking this the wrong way and Julian and Nick both took it the wrong way too. Nardwar purposely makes people uncomfortable like thats his whole entire vibe and Julian and Nick got too uncomfortable, which you can't blame them but they need to take it lighter
I demand a full interview again with the whole band 2020 version
that would be really fascinating to see what the Nard could drag up.
so much has happened the past 19 years and there's gotta be some good touring stories
YES
Seems like they don’t really fuck with him lol
Yes!

Lol what a fool. Just makes him look dumb as fuck
3:25
Best part.
I love how awkward they are with Nardwuar in this video alone and there's still 3 more parts lol
i love this interview because its so rare to watch how people as cool as the strokes handle awkward public situations

Great way to beat a hangover before another gig haha
They are so gracious in this interview, but you can tell that they're getting pretty ticked off. Love them.
Julian looks like he's 15.
i, seeing as how im that age, could only dream.

he's 21 in this, so you aren't too far off lol

Still bad move.
How is he a dick? They are high out of their mind, he feels a little disrespected by that and got a little agrrevated, thats it….
@@denklogeidiot7209 how are they "high out of their mind?" What is it about their behavior that makes it seem they're on drugs?
I thought the awkwardness is the entire theme of the interview?

Little did they know that would soon be one of the best songs on their third album. :D
I thought the same thing
also their best album.
well, my personal favorite it was one of the first full rock albums I've ever heard and also one of the one that got me into rock at all. I just worded that in an over-opinionated way, I definitely understand "to each his own".

Good call. I would say the best
Lol the strokes obviously only care about the music.

Nah, Nardwuar just tries way too hard to be different which leaves him looking like a complete dick.
Julian was my first real love lol.
Yea mine too

Not narduwar's best interview.

Maybe because Julian's father helped the band with money and contacts to make them famous. I think nardwuat does not like the upper class :/
I feel like nardward made Julian pissed off
I think he pissed every one off 🤭🤭
It's really interesting to see him talk about people caring about their image and not listening to the music yet just before they were about to drop one of the best rock albums of the decade
it's been officially 20 years since this interview, crazy

3:41 such nice people in Vancouver.
I come back to this video after all these years to announce Nardwuar had a STROKE.

Poor rich trust fund baby.
This interview is weirdly off; Nardwuar's being uncharacteristically antagonistic and kind of rude.
Imagine what hes like off camera i reckon hes a sarcastic, annoying creep

i just realized the tshirt julian is wearing in this interview is the same he wears in the last nite music video
Wow Nick is just like "WTF is with this interviewer" the whole time xD
Every person gets better with practice. His more recent interviews are masterful.
This interview aged Julian and forever turned him against being happy in interviews lmao
So let me get this straight.... they did interviews before the album even dropped??? I can see where Julian is coming from if that's the case
"Never chuck a beer bottle at someones face... unless they ask me a stupid question" jaja brilliant
LMAO THE SOUND HE MADE 0:55
Nic was very nice to meet, he put our bands sticker on his computer.
Real-ass dude, for sure!
9:25 Julian was like "I'm going need more alcohol to get through this interview lol
