this is a pretty sick cover...i like how my fave bands have done covers of each other like this one of kings and arctic doing the strokes now kings of leon have to do one of either of them lol
God really love that old kol stuff, and of course Jules is amazing as usual.Were kol really there? talk about flattery of the highest form man, JC singing their song..
@bazinga04 Listen to Taper Jeans Girl. That song could have been on "Is this it?" Yes, and no Doors = no strokes. I would say the biggest influence would be KOL bass lines. Not a rip, a huge influence. IE muse/radiohead.

***** Good that it influenced Jared to be a good bass player. Personally I think KoL's bass lines are superior to The Strokes'. They both are my favourite bands though.
Cool to see Julian givin the boys he toured with so long ago a little shout out
Wow! Julian covering a KoL song! The Strokes and KoL need to cover each others' songs more.
+Roberto Sanchez I've been saying this for years man!
i wish julian would do songs like this more. just happy music.

I was at this gig, about 20ft into the audience.....when this cover came down I went nuts. It was awesome.
why cant there be good audio to this
@rajivk91 Fuck that. I love The Strokes too, but to say there would be no KoL without them is just not true.
SOOOO GOOOOD!!!!...does anyone have the mp3?

kinda sounds like the velvet underground...
People can criticize this all they like, but if it wasn't for The Strokes, there'd be no Kings of Leon.
@Wisconsin222 do you mean the libertines?I think they formed before the strokes..

Taper Jean Girl was in the first Cloverfield. :)
it wasn't better than the original but i liked it a lot.
@rageccr it was way better than the original
Funny how Jules covers a song by a band The Strokes inspired, and they don't ever cover The Strokes...
KoL weren't actually inspired by The Strokes
