They were awesome in concert. The last few of the real live bands. Lead singer basically smashed every set, not missing a note or beat, while ripping up the set. respect.

The Strokes' early albums are so timeless due to their deceptive simplicity and candor, both in songwriting and production. You have to remember that at the time _Is This It_ came out, Nü Metal was at its absolute peak, with bands like Linkin Park and Papa Roach thriving in all their maximalist, Wagnerian loudness. The Strokes' ability to bring sophisticated harmonic chord patterns, charismatic lyricism and dynamics, and evocative, intimate imagery to their music was nothing short of a *stroke of genius. All of which were done so masterfully with no fluff and no filler; just smart, seemingly insouciant, minimalist guitar pop, appearing out of nowhere. It was such a welcome respite from the compressed, shredded noise that dominated the airwaves and the reason The Strokes' appeal continues to today.

You know what the world could really use right now? A fresh band that brings that same kind of magic The Strokes delivered when they first came onto the scene. We need a band that's unafraid to experiment with sound, and create a unique style that becomes iconic. It wasn't just about the music; it was about their attitude, their authenticity. The only band that has given me the same feeling in recent years has been The Doublejumps, which is a band from my home country New Zealand (I live in Australia now). Sooo wish I could see them and The Strokes live one day 😎

When I was 15 I went on a trip to Amsterdam with a mate and his family who were from there. One day as we were trying to sneak into some coffee shops we saw a guy holding a map and talking on the phone who looked just like Albert Hammond Jr. So we were standing there in the middle of a busy shopping street, pointing, wondering if it was really him as we waited for him to hang up. Suddenly someone tapped me on my shoulder and said, "Hey kid, you should get his autograph, it's him". I replied that I thought so too and then a split second later realised it was actually Julian! I didn't have any paper, only those big rizla rolling papers, so he signed that for me. I said great show and he wrote "to Rachel". We laughed about it and then he signed another. Good memories :)

When a friend first gave me this CD, my first thought was the Velvet Underground. Upon further listening, this is the single greatest band to come out of the very early 2000s. Jack White and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs deserve a mention, but this is the best all-around record made in that now-underappreciated era.

Ok, can we just talk about how close this live version sounds to the original? I mean, even the solos are like 99% the same! Freaking amazing. Love The Strokes, amazing musicians.

hi bro

Interesting Fact: Brandon Flowers (The Killers) in an interview said that when “Is This It” was released in 2001, they threw away all ideas for their songs except Mr. Brightside. It’s safe to say without The Strokes (and of course the help of The White Stripes and Interpol), there would be no Killers, no Arctic Monkeys, no Franz Ferdinand, no Black Keys and so on. Post-Punk Revival of the 2000’s wouldn’t exist without The Strokes.

I can't believe this is going to be 20 YEARS OLD... every song off of "Is This It" and "Room On Fire" still sound exciting and cutting-edge. I remember how everyone compared them to new wave/post punk bands from the 80s and called them retro. It seems like new rock is gearing towards an interesting psychedelic/electronic direction, but its clear that the Strokes were a futuristic band, to the point were everyone else is still catching up with what they did.

This sounds like youth.

And not a single fuck was given.

Does anyone else notice how Albert pushes with his back one of the drum mics at 2:15, how Fabrizio smiles, how Albert tries to pick it up and how his guitar stops to sound?

2:19 La parte que Hammond se va para atrás y le tira el mic a Fab, Albert se lo acomoda y sigue igual. Total Moretti le pega un batazo y tira los dos micrófonos es lo más. Eso es rock.

The drummer born in Brazil

I love how all of this is done live. You can see the shenanigans' effects on the sound. At 2:15, Albert knocked over the mic, so he turned around and I tried to grab it, meaning his guitar part was absent during that sequence. Another is at 2:31, Fabrizio pushed both of the microphones recording his drum so his drum sound got significantly reduced. Oh I love all these little things. Really shows that the attitude of the artist and their live playing capabilities. Please give us another album to cherish!
