I saw this the night it aired and was my introduction the The Strokes at 12 years old. Now 30 years old and I'm so hype for their new album this year I had to come back and pay my respects.
wow you're the same age as my sister. the strokes has really been around for quite some time huh. it doesn't seem like it; they're still good as new to me 😖
Can't you see I'm trying? I don't even like it I just lied to Get to your apartment Now I'm staying There just for a while I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Said they'd give you anything you ever wanted When they lied, I knew it was just stable children Trying hard not to realize I was sitting right behind them Oh dear, can't you see? It's them it's not me We're not enemies We just disagree If I was like him, all pissed in this bar He changes his mind, says I went too far We all disagree I think we should disagree, yeah Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Can't you see I'm trying? I don't even like it I just lied to Get to your apartment Now I'm staying There just for a while I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired.
I remember I came across this album by chance. I opened the list of best indie albums or something. Downloaded three: one from Velvet Underground, this one, and Mile goes to college or something. And what was ironic, this song later became some kind of a prophecy. At this time I began dating my girlfriend. She was living in student dormitory. At evening only the people who live there could enter, but on the outside there was a ladder. If you climb it, you would get to the roof of the first floor, and then you can jump to the balcony and climb it to get inside. I used this trick to get to her dorm when it was late. Sometimes I did it to make up with her after we argued. At that moments the whole "Lied to get to your apartment" and "can't you see I'm trying I don't even like it" were really describing the feeling. Once, however, when I did it I looked and saw an old guard. He was very sweet. Always smiling, and old. He was walking around the building. I felt like shit. I think I prayed that my stupid actions did not hurt his salary. It was such a relief to see him on duty again after that. Out of respect I stopped doing it
@@TheXandemic jeez hope you find that peace someday... I was in that same spot drinking a case a day + addicted to adderall to keep me functionable and 2 years ago got a dui that forced me to wake up and now I feel so much better physically and spiritually. Good luck you got this!

Bobby Lee said he gave the band a bunch of pills backstage and Drew Berrymore got mad at him for doing that cuz her boyfriend ( the drummer) was in recovery
0:48 Normally his voice would’ve been slightly distorted from the mic, but it sounds very rich and has a chorus tone which I seem to love even more because that’s something you don’t really hear 💙
people say "the strokes have the coolest basslines!!!" but when you tell them to mention any other bassline other than Is This It they dfont know what to say lmoa

i know he was drunk but he looks so sad and tired :(
I felt that, I feel like that all time..
@@TheXandemic i hope one day you can be happy
@@seleec I've managed to quit pills and I'm down to 6 drinks a day.. trying to ween off everything and it's been hell.

the camera not panning to Nikolai during the bassline is Niko-erasure and i won't stand for it
When i discovered The Strokes. I'm so glad i stayed up late to watch this. I was 17.
Even tho this vid features a top 5 band ever (imo), my favorite part of it is bobby introducing them
I based my entire personality off this performance (2002 was my junior year in high school) had this recorded on a vhs 😅
What a voice!
hory shih it bobby ree!

Love Bobby lee, love the strokes
both products of better times (thankfully still with us), what i'd give to relive them...
A moment of silence for all the girls that had this song played to them by a guy they thought really liked them 😏
this is one of my favorite songs ever
FYI. Bobby Lee has a “pill party” with The Strokes. Soon after he went into rehab and almost lost his gig on Mad TV.
Such a random duo
@@mitchells3643 drugs can bring anyone together lol
Bobby Lee said he gave the band a bunch of pills backstage and Drew Berrymore got mad at him for doing that cuz her boyfriend ( the drummer) was in recovery
The fact they made this the first song of the album. Wow.
Julian is so handsome 😵😍
Bobby Lee and Casablancas, YES!!!!! SLEPT King vs the SleepingSinger I dunno lol
Bobby lee + the strokes = Love
BOBBY LEE HAHA
Hory sheet bobby ree
Magnificent
Who's here because of a reddit link?
wth is bobby doing there?😭 love the guy tho
Do better
Bobby lee cameo
I’m so glad they let a Make-a-Wish kid introduce The Strokes 😭
Bobby ree
Man that is the perfect live sound, not 50 mics around the kit, stripped down to the core like in the 60s. Love it.
Bobby Lee
Fucking good
The Bobby Lee intro surprised me… not gonna lie.
1:54 with your feet on the air.... no? ok....
That's Bobby Lee!!!
Wow the lack of comments under this video is so sad this song id such a ? ??????
0:48 Normally his voice would’ve been slightly distorted from the mic, but it sounds very rich and has a chorus tone which I seem to love even more because that’s something you don’t really hear 💙
2:10
was bobby lee on the intro?
yup
Esos ojos de Julián hermosos😘
Kimberly Torres súper si 😍😍😍😭🤤
xd
mood
Ayo bobby lee
โครตเท่ครับพี่ๆ from thailand
1:51
Bobbyyyy❤
IIIIISSSSS THIS IIIIIIIIT
Whats that synth sound on the pre chorus 😮😮
Son genios temon
2024?
If you like The Strokes, check out
Ted Duchamp - Midnight Sun! Xx
The guy before they played is that Bobby lee, sounds like and looks like him
Ikr, that's what I thought too.
@@abhishekkarkera6479 it is
Good times when we could go to concerts and actually get to see the artists, nowadays we only see mobiles screen
Julian would cringe at this comment lmao
Liking liking everyone comments so they come back 😂😂
0:05
One of the best songs ever written in my opinion
people say "the strokes have the coolest basslines!!!" but when you tell them to mention any other bassline other than Is This It they dfont know what to say lmoa
When it started, meet me in the bathroom, juicebox, under cover of darkness, ny city cops, reptillia, and many others all have great basslines
@@joshjacobs6276 tbh i handt even heard room on fire before making that comment, and after lo listening to that record, i definitely changed my mind
😍😍😍!!!!
😩😩😩😩
Mr casablancas i have a crush on u
Was he drunk in live?
He was usually drunk, it shows especially at 1:50
he was always drunk in live XD
what up gang i love the strokes
Why he looks sad :(
He high
julian always looks like that
That bass 🔥
