Im seeing Bob Dylan in about a week, and he kicks Radioheads ass, and dont even start on Franz. The guy is a genius, his guitar work is secondary to his vocals (He makes up his vocals and then just puts some chords to it, which is ingenius- I cant imagine doing it) and the rest of his band have made some interesting parts on top of it.

 

Franz Ferdinand are ok, kinda, not worthy of anyones time-ish though.

dont bother with bob dylan

he's so fucked up from drugs

my friends saw him a while ago and were dissappointed

yeah good luck finding video shows of the strokes

rare

if you find them chances are the quality sound/video is gay

Well the last time I saw him was like, 3, 4 months ago? And he was brilliant.

 

I wouldnt say hes on drugs, he definately was on drugs, about 4 decades ago, but now, he sometimes gets really into a performance, sometimes too much. I've seen clips of him babbling on for a 45 minute un-released cover of a Kate Bush B-side, just making up new lyrics on the spot. It was brilliant for the first 15, and then it really dragged. He looked like he didnt know where he was.

 

But if he wants to, the guy can really explode a commercial audience.

You mean like on talk shows, dude?

well my friends saw him at a carnival a year ago

maybe he was just drunk off his ass

yeah probably

i think he meant like, complete strokes gigs.

I only have two strokes video gigs, and the quality is just horrible.

 

you know what would be awesome? if the strokes released a live dvd.

That would.. Except it wouldn't also, because I don't have a dvd player.

but people would rip the dvd and then share it on kazaa.

so you'd still be able to see it :cool:

Don't have Kazaa, pal. :rolleyes:

one time i downloaded a whole strokes gig and one of them got done and i watched it and im like wtf are you kidding me? so i deleted all the other ones but now i wish i had them...

damn

Man.. I was just looking over singles on amazonmusic.com, and christ.. How many singles have the Strokes released from Is This It?

only a few i thought

modern age

last nite ( i think )

hard to explain

someday ( i think )

Yea, eric's right

I knew those were singles. I just thought there was a lot more 'cause they played so many damn songs on Conan O'Brien, and I thought bands usually only played singles when they were guests on talk shows, ya know?

makes sense.

But speaking of singles, today i've heard that under control is gunna be the next single. woop.

Damn'it. I think 'Meet Me In The Bathroom,' would make a great single. Can you imagine a video for that? What would that be like.. :stunned:

wow, I haven't been here for a while - glad to see that this thread hasn't died :D

I'm excited that Under Control will be the next single - it's my favourite off the album. But I heard it's not coming out until the end of the summer. I guess they're too busy working on their new material and stuff to be making a video or whatever :/

i still havent got my fan club stuff!

it's been 2 months!

so lazy

Man, I was trying to pick my top five Strokes songs.. And I got 12:51, Hard To Explain, and Reptilia.. but.. I'm stumped, I can't pick just two other ones! :stunned:

i always skip 1251

mine are prolly

take it or leave it

hard to explain

soma

the end has no end

alone together

reptilia

the end has no end

new york city cops

between love and hate

modern age

hey thom

i was looking around the strokes fan club webpage and it says that long time members get a DVD and a cd of the elephant song.

like an official DVD... how sweet is that

i just get like a signed poster or something

oh, so you got your poster? thats awesome man! can you scan it?

and oh, official dvd, eh? i hope it is different from the one i have here. Like, i hope it is full of live footage and stuff like that. that would be neat.
