Even though Fab never shows off with big fills or overly complex rhythm patterns, his ability to hit the snare the same way every time, with the same tone, velocity, and timing, proves it all. Fab's one of the best drummers alive and of the last 25 years in my books
They keep releasing Phoenix albums. Wish they would release an album that has more punk and less supper club. Never cared that they were rich and bored as long as they rocked. Now they actually sound rich and bored.
I know man... I cant even imagine it. This song is so brilliant, it's hard to believe that at one point Julian was some teenager who had no idea how to even come up with a melody, instead of being one of the greatest songwriters of the 21st century who happens to have one of the keenest ears for composing catchy and passionate music. If there was one thing I could wish for, it would probably be his talent for writing amazingly melodic tunes.
Hell yea! First two albums! Then super gems like fear of sleep, ize of the world........3rd album cover and its ironic, shows a sliver as if the dream was dimming to a close, and i felt like that was there last album. but when you are in a group, and you all achieve making silver out of iron together. that has its own life span... Billy corgan talks about it poignantly on jre.... Lol! Also people talk so much shit about there wealthy upbringing, as if they were supposed to be some crust punk thrash band. “Love covers a multitude of sins” and if there sin was being rich kids, they all poured there hearts out without reserve, worked hard and gave valuable and powerful art to the world. Besides, they were glamorous, they grew up on grunge like we all did, but didn’t use it as a artistic crutch... America loves the ‘rags to riches’ story, it’s in our d.n.a. But that wasn’t there purpose as a band. They were the changing of the old guard. they brought a dark and tactile vintage dream with luxurious melodic decadence. Built from scratch.
in 2002 there was a blog called lastnite.org with lots of bootlegs and rare recordings. in the past decade its gone through a few different owners and domain names but now its toxic-radio.org. shesfixingherhair.co.uk is another great site for rare strokes stuff.
@DavKatch i'm talking about the version in the Ruff Enuff Stuff session, it's a version that has only 1 guitar, a bass, a drum machine, it has different lyrics, no production value whatsoever and Pete is singing
It's nice with the live drums. I understand the drum machine quantizing as a radio friendly unit shifter, but I always thought it would sound better with a proper drum sound. Sounds like a great show!
bauerklos music nah, i forget exactly how they did it, but they basically ran fab's playing through a few methods of recording and it ended up sounding like that.
yeah I read about the albums production a bit ago, it's dope what the producer could do to make the drums sound like that - when it started also sounds a lot like a loop / drum machine or something sequenced. definitely fooled me
It's weird. It's always puzzled me why fans always cheer at the 2 minute point (the false stop) as though the song is over. Even shows where the Strokes headline and everybody knows the song - they still cheer like noobs!
And that last chorus he switched it up I missed the last bus, I’ll take the next train I try but you see, it’s hard to explain I did the right thing, but act the wrong the way I like it in here, but I cannot stay Forget the wrong thing, I go the wrong the way ‘Cause I am too young, and they are too old This place is a zoo, the joke is on you You’re right it’s true

this is hard to explain, but its another band playing it their way. The vocalist doesnt have julian's traditional slur, he sounds to clean throghout the entire song. not bad though

Hard to Explain is a rare, perfect song. The false stops just add to it. And the video for it just put this song into the stratosphere.
Its Hard to Explain hehe xd lol kek lmao

Part of that is because the drums are way compressed, but it's still impressive
the great drummers are the ones you don't really notice ... not flashy, just there at the right time.
Drums please fab
So many of us desperately listening to their old stuff hoping the will soon be something new !
our prayers have been answered
Past, Present, Future my friend
I already need something new again

love the drums

The crowd going wild in the background after the first false stop is what gets me
can you imagine watchin some amateur band play a song this good in just some bar. the audience must have been blown away
Yeah that would’ve been amazong
i love the quicker tempo to it

Shake my head to say

@Elijah Finch that is absolutely your song you're not fooling anyone, stop self promoting please
I love it when julian like growls
Yeahhhhhhh, ughhhhh I love him
this is most definitely the strokes
THis is just awesome man.
I love this version, right now it's my favorite hard to explain version :D.
I need a collection or an album of all these rarities!

Look up Lost Treasures
I already thought it was crazy fast and then I find this. How the hell did they manage to play this fast
+googplus isawful they're fucking rock gods and machines of awesomeness
Until you realise they only play down strokes...
its very tiring the first couple of times you play it but it gets easier.
no pun intended
Albert has some serious forearms strength, so this wouldn't be too surprising.
Love this sound.....
THIS FUCKIN BAND IS SO AWSOME! FAVE FOR ALL TIME.
Albert is looking deep In your soul
Amo a voz do Julian!!! ❤❤❤❤
Classic Song!

+Pints of Guinness yeah but how did they get them?
Pints of Guinness aye
This is my favorite song. It's nice to hear n early version of it.
Pints of Guinness these sites are my high school years ❤️ 🎶memories🎶
Woo I’m from Carolina :) South Carolina anyway
I'm guessing you're not like that
LNBlack29 we are trying to remind her.
ispyinthenightsky woohoo, I'm from the North.
it's so strange hearing the opening lines that late into the song
You are 110% right!
slow down boys!!! lol
they where good even in the early days.
love them.
R.I.P
It sounds so weird without Nikolai’s bass riff at the beginning
My heart

business dog where can I find your profile picture?

Yet coolest
best band of all time? i think so
I think so!
You take the moon and you take the sun
That would be pretty clever
wow julian's voice sounds a lot different. i thought it was like a cover band but then it started to sound like him.
nice version
the "I dont see it that way" part, huh?
It's nice with the live drums. I understand the drum machine quantizing as a radio friendly unit shifter, but I always thought it would sound better with a proper drum sound. Sounds like a great show!
its not a drum machine in the studio version
in the beginning it has to be

yeah I read about the albums production a bit ago, it's dope what the producer could do to make the drums sound like that - when it started also sounds a lot like a loop / drum machine or something sequenced. definitely fooled me
its not a drum machine it was just recorded highly compressed, on a early 2000s era computer instead of a high quality sound board
🔥🔥🔥
RIP old Strokes
It's weird. It's always puzzled me why fans always cheer at the 2 minute point (the false stop) as though the song is over. Even shows where the Strokes headline and everybody knows the song - they still cheer like noobs!
It’s their chance to be the center of attention
@Elijah Finch Will do, my friend!
And that last chorus he switched it up
I missed the last bus, I’ll take the next train
I try but you see, it’s hard to explain
I did the right thing, but act the wrong the way
I like it in here, but I cannot stay
Forget the wrong thing, I go the wrong the way
‘Cause I am too young, and they are too old
This place is a zoo, the joke is on you
You’re right it’s true
jules singing in this demo totally reminds me of joy remone.
like.really
Hmm I wonder if there’s a band called lonely gimmick with similar vibes lmaoo
hahaahahah shhhhhhhhhh
Same... Except in my case it was all of Is This It.
so true
It is definitely The Strokes. It is Julian's voice, obviously.
That's quite clearly Julian singing.
@thekillers1stfan Wow, I never thought about it that way. Yeah I can see it. It definitely has a very similar attitude putting the actual sound aside.
Goddamn comment restriction
First verse:
Says he can’t decide
Take the kids inside, what does he desire?
Oh, I don’t see it that way; I don’t see it that way
We shared some ideas, all obsessed with fame
I liked it when it ringed
Oh, I just can’t remember; I just can’t remember

Put the past behind her, I don’t miss them
Nick y albert debieron tener el brazo derecho echo pomada despues de tocar asi de rapido

Y Fab también
What lyrics are different in this version
there a bunch of slight ones
Seems like this is a live version.
Good observation, I thought the yelling and screaming of multiple people was just Nikolai having fun
no he just said he thinks it sounds like a live version
Someone could post the complete lyric please ?
I loved Angles. Why should they keep putting out the same album?
sounds like Joey Ramone
this record is the baller of ballers
we shared some ideas,
all obsessed with fame,
likes it when it rains...
beautiful.
Dammit, thanks man, but please try again, what did he say on the beggining ?
If she can't decide I forcer her to decide or sth like that ?
hahaha seems like a live version? yeahhh they just added a crowd of people cheering at the end for that live feel huh... you so funny dawg
Anyone who says this isn't the strokes must not know them very well.

@Elijah Finch lol what a loser, did you self promote on every comment of this video?
@DeadPixel00 wtf r u talking about? this has the same clearness in voice as boombox. The traditional Julian sings rough bro.
the intro is very fast!
Where did you get it?
where is this version from?
@person181
why sux?
download link
fuck yea
@Bbyboots27 hahahaha!! So true..
Is this Julian voice? sounds... weird hehe
this version sounds a lot like the original version of Boys in the Band by The Libertines
the libertines got a record deal literally only because they dressed and looked strung out on drugs like the strokes and made rock music ...pete has even admitted this lol
@thegreatcat104 cause he uses a filter :)
so demo-ing i doubt he would
But the question is when was it and where ?

Please some english native spaker could post the lyrics, my listening is not really good and I can't pick up somethings.

I never ever in my life listen this song. i have all the discs and the b sides and i never listen

Not the same, but better than angles.
I'm not, and that's the point.
was he trying be liam gallagher?
iiiaaaaaaaaaaaiii LOL
No.
Real drums >elec drums
Who are and what you did to Julian? The song sounds bad, it got a change for The best.
this is hard to explain, but its another band playing it their way. The vocalist doesnt have julian's traditional slur, he sounds to clean throghout the entire song. not bad though
