Part One of a series of behind-the-scenes looks at The Strokes recording their fourth LP. Filmed by the band members - narrated by Richard Priest - edited by Wiz Kid Mgmt.
"Julian was touring with his solo album during this time, the guys mostly recorded the songs on their own, and then Julian would come and record his part." There ya go, now you know why he wasn't here.
nick valensi's reaction to fab filming him: In Transit (2001): WHAT, YOU GOT A FUCKING CRUSH ON ME? In The Studio (2010) WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?? it's like these guys never lose their love for each other its incredible
It's fascinating to watch this knowing that this was the very recording process that Nick Valensi trashed and despised. It's like capturing The Strokes at their most frustrated point.
I feel like the narrator was suppose to narrate a wildlife documentary but ended up doing one of The Strokes. -Fabrizio and Albert in their natural habitat. Mating season is slowly approaching. The attraction to one another is astounding.
Nick’s “what are you doing, you following me?” @ 4:14 and “what are you doing, man?” @ 4:26 remind me of In Transit when he says “what are you filming man?” and “what? You got a crush on me???”
dude sounds like a douche bag. Let the artist create the music and YOU record/make it sound the best it can. that simple guitar part that he played may have been great. Just because "it could have been played by anyone" is irrelevant. A lot of great guitarists don't play like Vai. This idiot probably would have had them change their whole first album. What an idiot. I would have fired this guy immediately. I don't care what his resume is. He was the wrong guy for THIS band.
@@pb12661 agreed. Weird the producer would tell Nick that. Nick is such a talented man. No wonder he joked in the video that he couldn't play guitar with the asshole saying that. Btw, Nick has been playing guitar since he was 5. Truly amazing!😊
@@carlosoverdadeiro5650 right? people only want yes man around them, that is what he is there for, to make them improve and do the best of their ability, not just trying to get the job done with the first tune you hear lol
I was waiting for nick to say "WHAT?! YOU GOT A FUCKING CRUSH ON ME OR SOMETHING?!" Ahaha like he said when fab was filming him up close in the strokes in transit
What excites the shit out of me is just how talented each of the members of The Strokes are, and the fact that their upcoming album has been their first true group effort.
This narration is making me laugh way too much! lol. That moment with fab and albert i've seen sooo many times before and it still gets me everytime. If you are looking for new music try searching The Stumble and Shake - Oh my darling, Oh my dear (Earthquake Version) you may be in for a surprise!
Fab is fabulous! I met him once and seriously, not lying one bit, he is the sweetest guy! I cant even begin to explain how insanely nice he is. Okay, now I'm sad and wanna rewind time and meet him aaalll over again. lol
Tracey Henderson I don’t know too much about why, but I know that Julian is a sort of hyper perfectionist when it comes to his own creations and so for angles he recorded the vocals afterwards and sorted out the final touches. It’s kind of sad really because I loved the band, but it seemed like the rest of the band wanted to be more involved and Julian just wanted to keep his own spin on things.
Nacbo no, you’re right. And with their new album coming out, it seems as though he’s loosened up a bit. Apparently Albert wrote the song that was leaked.
HOLY GOD!!!!! I nearly exploded when I saw this was up. \m/ \m/ EXCITEMENT. fab is so funny on the sofa and his dance behind the glass.''Nikolai broke the zoom'' is fast becoming one of my all time favourites hahaha
oh my god this video made my day (or even my week, maybe month) I've been watching In Transit all over again and really missing the Stokes but this makes me so happy :D Nikolai broke the zoom is amazing xD
Hey guys, listen carefully at around 5:40 and later on in 6:08, in the background you can hear a song, most probably a demo from the new album. It sounds a lot like Last Nite and Someday from Is This It. Which is good, there will possibly be classic 'Strokes songs, WHICH IS AWESOME.
I personally loved all three albums. I didn't start listening to the strokes til 2007 and so I was gradually introduced to different songs from different albums. They all have the same distinct Strokes sound in my opinion, even though the songs from FIOE are a bit more polished. Both musically and lyrically they matured album to album, which is what a band needs to do. Can't wait for this one to be honest.
OMG! HOLY GOD!!!! I nearly exploded when I saw this was up..AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! also, ''Nikolai broke the zoom'' is fast becoming one of my all time favourite songs.
Fabrizio is the funniest man I swear to god
angus7021 even his name 😂
angus7021 he's brazilian :)
Yeah I love it when he grabs Albert and starts singing "I touch myself."🤣
It's how the saying goes, the funniest man gets Drew Barrymore
@@JJJameson. he dated Kristin wiig too. Lucky dude
"Julian was touring with his solo album during this time, the guys mostly recorded the songs on their own, and then Julian would come and record his part." There ya go, now you know why he wasn't here.

sherissa go how do you know it's still Fab ?
It's fascinating to watch this knowing that this was the very recording process that Nick Valensi trashed and despised. It's like capturing The Strokes at their most frustrated point.
I was very shocked when I heard the producer telling that stuff to Nick
@@emgg3794 ya, makes sense why they fired him
@@PunkerThorwhat did the producers said?
@@amarreezlan7131I think he’s referring to the part at 2:56 where the producer is kinda trashing what he recorded lol
11 years and Im still waiting for the second part (actualizado)
+Karla Minguer amen
7 years still waiting
8 years passed..
9 years
20 years

"THAT'S WHY THE CALL US THE STROKES" 'you're a star, Nikolai-" "WELL, *WE* CALLED OURSELVES THE STROKES BUT, I MEAN-"
Nick’s “what are you doing, you following me?” @ 4:14 and “what are you doing, man?” @ 4:26 remind me of In Transit when he says “what are you filming man?” and “what? You got a crush on me???”
Ugh oh yes 😂loved that vid so much
Hahaha, I was thinking that, too.
nick is a shy boi
when you watch this you understand why it took them five years
it´s hard to explain how much i love this band... it´s almost like an obsession... once u started to listen them and you never ever gonna stop
So u still listening???
haha you said hard to explain
Yup
Who remembers "in transit"
meeeee
Freeeeee from it aaaaaallll.....
You're a star Nikolai. You're a star
The Killers?
“Nikolai broke the Zoom” has a completely different meaning now, but it is still 100% accurate 🎸😂
NIKOLAI BROKE THE ZOOOOM
look at those fingers look how they move
Marxer love that part
"Nikolai broke the zoom" This will be stuck in my head forever now. Please make this a song.
"Yeah, I broke it, and you're all gonna pay for it." Gangsta
"This is the producer...explaining to the artist...that it sucked."
dude sounds like a douche bag. Let the artist create the music and YOU record/make it sound the best it can. that simple guitar part that he played may have been great.

@@pb12661 no bro thats his job
@@carlosoverdadeiro5650 right? people only want yes man around them, that is what he is there for, to make them improve and do the best of their ability, not just trying to get the job done with the first tune you hear lol
Fab: Do you know how to play the guitar?
Nick: No..
Wtf nick :'D
If their next album doesn't feature nikolai broke the zoom I will cry
Do you think they'll make another? It's my dying wish(:
Radical Face Jules has said some stuff about getting back in the studio this year, so hopefully we'll have another within the year!
Are you kidding?? Where'd you hear that? I might have a heart attack!(:
Radical Face and they are gonna do more shows this year
Radical Face I don't remember exactly where, but he's talked about it in multiple interviews :)
Still waiting for "Nikolai Broke The Zoom" to come out
The new smash single NICKOLAI BROKE THE ZOOM
i feel like julian was the one holding the camera the whole time...
I'm pretty sure this was the album that he basically recorded everything at his house cause they were having issues
was angles really recorded like that?
@@paisenpaisen yes. That's why they never played songs from the album on future tours.
he was too busy at home being drunk :(((
@@aleisterj.r8848 this was like 2 years after he got sober, he didn't go to the sessions because he didn't get along with the members anymore
I was waiting for nick to say "WHAT?! YOU GOT A FUCKING CRUSH ON ME OR SOMETHING?!" Ahaha like he said when fab was filming him up close in the strokes in transit
The Strokes will always be my favorite band.
fab is so precious omg i swear if they'd actually release Nikolai Broke the Zoom i'll buy 15 of it
Nice to see Hila from h3h3 with the strokes at 2:20
Nicolas Alonso lmao
Nicolas Alonso you nailed it! Lmao
Yo man of culture
Lmao
What excites the shit out of me is just how talented each of the members of The Strokes are, and the fact that their upcoming album has been their first true group effort.
I love seeing them just hanging out.
1:08 - 2:05 Fab is perfect.
Nick needs to do a solo album too... His voice is sub-par (see what I did there:D) okay... Seriously. Man I love The Strokes.
well, dream come true...
Home Depot's "You're a Star" collection got a massive boom in sales after this.
This narration is making me laugh way too much! lol. That moment with fab and albert i've seen sooo many times before and it still gets me everytime. If you are looking for new music try searching

you may be in for a surprise!
Fab is fabulous! I met him once and seriously, not lying one bit, he is the sweetest guy! I cant even begin to explain how insanely nice he is.
Okay, now I'm sad and wanna rewind time and meet him aaalll over again. lol
falbert, can that be a thing?
Lol!😂
Maybe it IS a thing... who knows
Monday - Tuesday is my weekend!
Fab is fuckign great hahaha
yes
the new single:nikolai break the zoom
by:Nick valensi (n the rest of the stroke)
I love Fab. He's so adorable
Am I the only one thinking 6:35 is not baby powder?
funniest thing is that nick kept saying what are you doing man stop following me! but two seconds later he’s like “follow me!” classic nick
You know, "Nickolai Broke the Zoom" doesn't sound that bad! :)
I cannot wait until the album comes out! Just 2 more months and 11 days!!!
0:28 Sounds like the intro of Do I wanna know by Arctic Monkeys
its 2024 n im still waiting for part 2
I feel like a star after watching this. Love those lights btw
Petition for The Strokes to release “Nikolai Broke The Zoom”
It says it's narrated by Richard Priest, but I think that's Jules doing a REALLY good British accent...
wheres julian
He recorded vocals without them
@@Zlittlepenguin I wonder why? I remember that Valensi said that he didn't like it that Julian wasn't there much of the time, if at all.
Tracey Henderson I don’t know too much about why, but I know that Julian is a sort of hyper perfectionist when it comes to his own creations and so for angles he recorded the vocals afterwards and sorted out the final touches. It’s kind of sad really because I loved the band, but it seemed like the rest of the band wanted to be more involved and Julian just wanted to keep his own spin on things.
@@Zlittlepenguin you can't deny the man is a genius though
Nacbo no, you’re right. And with their new album coming out, it seems as though he’s loosened up a bit. Apparently Albert wrote the song that was leaked.
I'm imagining all of the parts together in a song... and it's good.
HOLY GOD!!!!! I nearly exploded when I saw this was up. \m/ \m/ EXCITEMENT. fab is so funny on the sofa and his dance behind the glass.''Nikolai broke the zoom'' is fast becoming one of my all time favourites hahaha
Where can I buy lights similar to those in the studio?

Lights by Home Depot: You're a Star Collection. You're a star, Nikolai. You're a star.

When Fab scooted toward Albert X'D
Hey guys, listen carefully at around 5:40 and later on in 6:08, in the background you can hear a song, most probably a demo from the new album. It sounds a lot like Last Nite and Someday from Is This It. Which is good, there will possibly be classic 'Strokes songs, WHICH IS AWESOME.
at 5:39 i always feel like Albert's speaking directly to me and i love it
This vid is so awesome! Im so stoked that they are recording again!

Everyone complaining about Julian not being there should calm down, this was recorded in January when he was still touring.
OMG! HOLY GOD!!!! I nearly exploded when I saw this was up..AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! also, ''Nikolai broke the zoom'' is fast becoming one of my all time favourite songs.
I want ''Nikolai broke the zoom'' as a single.
how come this video doesnt have at least a million views?
This was in January, people. Jules was still on tour for his solo album(:
