Every interview I've watched of Julian, the interviewer will ask a simple question and Julian gives such a deep, meaningful answer, and they're just like ... Okay .
2:46 "What's going on here?" Al and Fab almost sleeping together :D Remember that time in 2009 or 2010 when Fab trolled Al? Fab sometimes acts like he's having a crush :D
Actually, Nikolai's comment about the guys getting together because of their looks fits pretty good. It's amazing that five that goodlooking guys found eachother, and are now making the best music ever. (According to NME, they're getting back together for practice sessions this fall or something!)
Journalist - "You call him the guru" Julian - "It was his idea" Journalist - "Is he a guru to you?" Julian -"Not like a spiritual guru. With his name we thought it'd be funny." Journalist-"So he helps you tune your guitars?" (The strokes laughing) Nick-"He's not our guitar tech...he's like" Fab -"Tune my guitar GURU" Julian- "Oh wise one, please. Tune my guitar." Journalist -"These guys look like they could be you..." Albert- "THANKS. Get the hell outta here."
when you boil it down, Julia is a really intelligent and serious guy. not in a bad way at all! he was just such a straight shooter during their beginning days because he felt all the pressure was on him to do well, and he really did deliver.
fab speaks soooo softlyy. it soo cutee, and nikolai stealing his moms clothes and nick being the serious one.. julian saying "we aren't the sporty guys" and albert just being albert :P
ummm.. the "other guys" name in the Nardwaur interview is Nick. And I watched all 4 interviews. Did you SEE (pt. 1) when Julian grabs the mike from Nardwaur, and goes into a fabulous F-Bomb rant to tell the interviewer that he is sick of people wanting to know stupid things about their band - all Jules cared about was that people would LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC and then make up their mind about the band. He didn't want to be a Pop star. He was just 22 at that time - and pretty smart.
first impressions of earth is one of the best albums i have ever heard, and i have heard great albums like dark side of the moon, sgt. peppers, the doors, led zeppelin albums, etc. so firs impressions of earth isnt mediocre
Lol at the people descirbing them as "toe-tapping" music. When i listen to them i really get into their music and the lyrics are awesome too. The strokes became my favourite band fast. It;s strange because i first heard their stuff from the newest album angles and wasn't much of a fan so i listened to older ones and now i love angles too. Guess you learn to love stuff
@strokesfan1107 Thank you! I appreciate your post and agree 100%. I read that Jules was very shy, and was (and is) always worried about sounding too big-headed in interviews, and he often thought "why would anyone care what I have to say?" The good interviewers always come away saying how intelligent and warm he really is. And they do say he is serious, but also very funny (if he is comfortable enough to let that part come out).
i actually agree - i hate when interviewers TRY to sound smart by asking about like their musical influences and whatever but the best interviews r when the interviewer asks a simple question and lets them talk about whatever like about their lives not just about their music.
That's so funny--the question about "do you feel like you are saving pop music?" I just got this image of Jules putting on his red cape in the morning and jumping out of bed with the call of "I will save pop music!" bellowing forward from his chest. That just cracks me up somehow.But I love Graham..and it sounds like something he would say. I get what he means..just that their music is so much more quality than...say...Jonas Brothers or something.
ur funny, ive moved on to Interpol myself first was massive consumption of strokes, and then i moved on to Interpol, a bad bad drug lolol seriously, once i had my fill strokes, which amounted to months of nothing but strokes, now its nothing but interpol, but i can't wait to be "addicted" to the strokes again
Every interview I've watched of Julian, the interviewer will ask a simple question and Julian gives such a deep, meaningful answer, and they're just like ... Okay .
Fab - "It's 'cause Julian could get cigarettes in the jail cell, and that was the only currency that we had."
Silence....
Albert - "What....?"
Ahahaha
2:46 "What's going on here?"
Al and Fab almost sleeping together :D Remember that time in 2009 or 2010 when Fab trolled Al? Fab sometimes acts like he's having a crush :D
The strokes are hilarious & I can't get enough of them:o

They actually end up making a few more albums
🤣
Journalist - "You call him the guru"
Julian - "It was his idea"
Journalist - "Is he a guru to you?"
Julian -"Not like a spiritual guru. With his name we thought it'd be funny."
Journalist-"So he helps you tune your guitars?"
(The strokes laughing)
Nick-"He's not our guitar tech...he's like"
Fab -"Tune my guitar GURU"
Julian- "Oh wise one, please. Tune my guitar."
Journalist -"These guys look like they could be you..."
Albert- "THANKS. Get the hell outta here."

haha I can't imagine how much fun they made of the interviewer after this
the energy of this interview is why the strokes are my favorite band lol

I love this band. There's genius amongst them.
"oh wise one, tune my guitar"

Interviewer: "These guys look like they could be you in like..."
Julian: "....Thanks."
