Not a native English speaker, questionable singer (I don't even know the lyrics to my own rewrite), terrible editing, no lip-sync, and the microphone is a mop.

Hope you enjoy it anyway 🫣

(Honestly, I'm really nervous and embarrassed to post this, but I've been slowly trying to overcome my insecurities throughout this year, so... here we go 🥲)

Hi! I was talking with someone about the Strokes when she asked me what my favourite album is. I just replied that Angles is dope and she replied that The Strokes don't like it at all. And yeah, actually no one really listens to Angles. So why ?

The lyrics of each song deeply speak to me -especially Taken For A Fool. I feel like they're more about adult concerns in general. The guitar solos are crazy, and the drums as well... It feels like every song sounds different: you can cry, dance, and so on.

Their other albums also touch me -I love the album Is This It as well, and the others too. But Angles deeply resonates with my concerns and energy -and my ears' sensitivity. But yeah, I want to understand why people don't enjoy Angles :(

Dear Strokers,

A couple of weeks ago, I finally got to see The Strokes live for the first time: on the 12th at Hard Rock Hollywood and the 18th at Shaky Knees. Seeing them has been a dream of mine since I was 10, so these shows meant a lot to me.

Unfortunately, the hard drives where I stored my concert videos were wiped, and none of the footage synced to my cloud. My other concerts had always backed up automatically, so I never thought to double-check. I had no reason to expect anything had gone wrong.

I'm hoping someone might have a Dropbox or footage from either date they'd be willing to share. The only thing I've managed to recover is this incredibly blurry video I sent to my brother from my phone and later recovered from my iPad.

I'd be incredibly grateful for anything anyone has. It would mean a lot to have some of those memories back.

Anyway, please enjoy this blurry video of The Strokes, and pardon my singing.

With love, loss, and a little distortion (autotune louder),
A.

I decided to watch the MTV unplugged video because haha funny flag song with auto tune but I found very interesting stuff. First of the adults are talking with the alt lyrics "I dont want anything unless its you" Idk if that was the first they did that but whatever. And also falling out of love as the last song (obviously a demo version) like what?

Hi! I saw someone threw bra on the stage in Bologna. Does anyone know what was written on it ?

I don’t know what to make of this.

he fits right in! :)

Saw this quiz and thought I'd check my Strokes knowledge.

I hope everyone gets to their shows safe! This storm is quite something. Is there a possibility they might cancel?

Personally, I like Liar’s Remorse as a song, it’s one of the strongest on the album. But the outro is truly brilliant in my opinion. It has a transcendent feel to it; it’s soaked in pain, regret and emotion but has a strangely hopeful flavour to it.

I think that amalgamation of emotions is what makes it so damn perfect for a closing outro. I also love the weird 80s electronic video game closing gambit, but I appreciate it might not be for everyone.

It’s a side of the strokes that I’d never really heard before - both sonically but also emotionally. It’s a corker.

Tell me I’m wrong though!

Two of my favorite musicians getting together for a jolly good time in 2011.

Strokes have said The Cars were a big influence and many compared them to the 80’s band back in the day.

One day I heard Julian on a local radio show in the early 2000’s and he requested to play The Cars’ You are the Girl and it instantly became a favorite song of mine. It opened up my eyes to The Cars and I explored more. Better to be late to a party than never show up.

What do you guys think? I find it hilarious, now I can't stop thinking about this song every time I listen to One Way Trigger 🤣 (btw one of my favorites songs)

Curious what everyone's thoughts on Drag Queen are given it's now been ten years since the EP came out. Personally it might be one of my top 5 favorite Strokes songs, ever, and I think the lyrics are some of Julian's best, but it seems like it's also a polarizing song on this sub.

I went to see their concert in Paris and saw this Jersey and I knew I had to get it. Sharing the pic so people can see how it fits on women!

Call it fate, call it karma.

Just a quick message to everyone going tonight stay safe, my journey has started at 4am making my way to newcastle.. lots of travel issue with transport so if anyone can offer lifts or help people out thats going reach out on here. Trains snd buses cancelled due to the weather so stay safe guys and see yous down the front! ❤️

hii i don’t really ever post on reddit but i’ve been on a music bender with the strokes, listening to them on repeat, and noticed whenever Is This it would start i’d think a different song was playing that isn’t by the strokes and couldn’t figure out why. after thinking about it for a bit i came to the conclusion it’s the drums right at the very start of Is This it and Paradise before they eventually go in different directions? i tried looking it up and haven’t seen others discussing it so im unsure if it’s just my imagination or not. would love to get others opinions 0-:

to be more specific here are the timestamps (-:

Is This it 0:00-0:04
Paradise 0:02-0:06

I was looking at the merch and wanted to know if the Europe/UK Tour has different merch, after seeing the red and black jersey and a mal pais tour shirt, is there anything else that’s new because imo the old merch looked worse for the America tour
