The Strokes

Featured Replies

Sounds like a proper technique to me :laugh4:

You sure will be, hope it's not too bad so as not to approach them! That's the important bit, bear it mind. Then, whatever you do is unimportant, if it's either stripping or hug them tight, I'm sure it'll be great.

Probably stripping them down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok can I admit something?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think Albert's really cute.....

 

I DON'T KNOW WHY. But I used to like a guy who looks just like him, so I associate that and now I really kind of love Albert more than I should.... :uhoh:

I actually dont like Albert because of a guy I used to know. :wreck:

Holy shit. :laugh4: That's so ironic. ahahfhdsf;s

OH MY GOD AND RANDOM:

 

 

 

 

The Modern Age is so brilliant, isn't it? I love the breakdown with "Oh, in the sun, sun havin' fun..." oh my god CLASSIC. I heard this in the mall yesterday. You better BET I broke it down in the middle of aisle. :laugh4:

 

 

And the lyrics to Ize of the World are so fucking awesome.... omg.

 

 

whoo end random music gushing.

Ize of the World is the reason why I love the Strokes. Well, no, there are more reasons but you get the point. Lyrically and musically is such an awsome song. Dont even get me started on that solo, and Jules voice!:stunned:

oh my god jules voice, when he climbs up that register.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:dead:

 

 

 

They played it in Boston, I hope it's permanent on their setlist (they started the show with it)... omg I'm so excited to hear it!!! *crosses fingers* I hope they play The End Has No End, that's my favorite song forEVER of theirs! haha. I know when they played it at Oxegen it's the song that just hit me and made me fall head over heels.

The end has no end :dead: wow, what an awsome tune....

But my all time fav is Trying your Luck. EVER. :dead:

.

 

 

I can't.... talk....

 

 

I talked in my GJ so I'm just cutting and pasting that here cuz I can't fucking deal with typing again. I'm already crying hard enough. I can't... I can hardly believe I can manage THIS.

 

Well I went to the concert, and I fucked off the crowd...

 

Guess I got way too fucking excited when I saw you coming around.

 

 

(yeah we gotta LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, LEFT!)

 

 

 

So I've come to the biggest conclusion of my life.

 

And no, this is not a post-concert high.

 

 

The Strokes are the best band both live and on record. Ever.

 

 

 

oh yeah and.

 

 

I TOUCHED AND RAN MY HAND UP AND DOWN JULIAN'S ARM AND ENDED UP PULLING HIM LIKE FACE FORWARD INTO ME AND HE SMILED AND LIKE WAGGLED HIS FINGER AND HE. IS. SO. BEAUTIFUL.

 

 

NO. SERIOUSLY.

 

 

AND NIKOLAI'S REALLY HOT.

 

NOW FEEL FREE TO LAUGH, AND SEE IF I GIVE A SHIT.

 

 

That was the best concert of my life.

 

 

But guess what?

 

No photos!

 

I didn't take ANYTHING! I didn't even take it out. I enjoyed it all, for myself. I committed everything to memory. For myself. I'll let the others take the pictures and upload them (plus I'd have gotten kicked out, and I was so crushed I couldn't move to even TRY and take it out let alone steady it without flash oh my god shit WHO CARES THOUGH I finally saw a gig for MYSELF and NOT for everyone else's later enjoyment to see my pictures! HOW LIBERATING)

 

I cried. I took like a half hour to get out of the place cuz I was crying and... crying. They're so beautiful (Nick cut his hair FYI Meg, he looks SO. GREAT. rock god much?)

 

 

But Julian, yet again I must say this, does it for me. He has no acne! OK IT SHOWS UP IN PICTURES, BUT IN PERSON.... HE'S SO.... OH MY GOD. I TOUCHED HIM. AND HE SO SANG TO ME DURING HEART IN A CAGE FUCKING LONG STORY AND I FLIPPED SOMEONE OFF WHO KICKED ME IN THE HEAD AND HE LAUGHED AND WINKED AND...

 

 

MY LIFE. IS AMAZING RIGHT NOW. WHY WOULD I HAVE EVER TRIED TO KILL MYSELF?! OH MY GOD I LOVE LIFE.

 

 

Guess where I was?

 

 

Front row center in front of Julian Casablancas' microphone. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD BUT I DIDN'T START OFF THERE LMFAO LONG FUCKING STORY THAT'D TAKE ME HOURS LMFAO Tell it tomorrow, I HAVE SO MUCH.

 

But that's where all the crowd surfers ended up. Just like for Arctics. However:

 

Much more violent.

 

 

This sort of surprised me because:

 

Yes, Alex Turner is DISTURBINGLY magnetic and desi-god like live. Yes, he is like the flame and we are the moths. Yes, Arctic's music is more violent. But, yes, Julian Casablancas is THAT much more charismatic and sexy. THAAAAAAAAAT much more. Like. A lot more. And I mean a LOT. I'm completely in love with him. He's it. That is it. I am going to become a spinster for the rest of my life because I will never let another man touch me if he is NOT Julian. No joke.

 

 

omg so many stories lmfao. hoorah.

 

 

omg I'm going to start to cry again. I'm so in love with the Strokes. I haven't STOPPED being in love with them since oxegen, though. OMG. I got scratched in the back though and it bled and my mom put antiseptic on it just now and it HURTS. That's the worst injury I've ever gotten. And I think I have a bruise on my forehead :( Fucking cunt. I got kicked like 6 times. I don't feel that good lmfao.

 

 

BUT I'M SO HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. CUZ JULIAN.... I'M.... OMG..... HIM..... SMILING.... SINGING... "LEFT! LEFT! LEFT! LEFT!" TO ME....... ME.... OH. MY. GOD. OK NOW I'M CRYING AGAIN. LIKE. SO CRYING. OMG GUYS. I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS. I'M DEVOTING MY ENTIRE LIFE TO THE STROKES.

 

 

I'm not joking. They are My Band. I know this might change a lot with your opinion of me, like, but I'm sorry??? Cuz they're that amazing. I've never felt anything as powerful as 'Reptilia' live. Ever. jfdkls;jakldslfjdlkfjlkjflkaf;kld I kind of freaked out and forgot where I was (they have that affect) and that's when I got smacked in teh back of the head and it hurt really bad like reaaaally bad, and I got smacked in the face by this girl I met totally by accident on her behalf, since a kid kicked her in the head, and she came into me and hit my nose and now my nose... I think it might be like.... messed up LMFAO IT KIND OF HURTS TO BREATHE OUT IT.

 

 

 

Someone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOLD ME.

 

 

 

I CAN'T GO THROUGH THIS ALONE.

 

 

 

MY ENTIRE LIFE JUST CHANGED, AND I'M NOT EVEN JOKING.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Is there anything I can say? I don't think there is!

 

 

Just, I'm SO glad for you, you can't even figure :D I was sure you where going to have the time of your life but still. Thanks for coming straight away on here to post your experience. Sounds like you have so much more to tell though, I can't wait! :dance:

 

Wooo I think I might be living vicariously through you now! :wacko:

 

 

 

And I totally share what you're saying about Julian. He's got this energy, like a special aura or something that the crowd can feel. And I've always said he's gorgeous but none of my friends seemed to share the opinion. SHAME ON THEM.

 

He was hilarious when I saw them cause he was WAY too drunk, kept spilling his beer ON HIMSELF. :wink3: Yeah boy! DIRTY DIRTY AND WET!

 

 

 

 

So, enough rambling of my own, this is your moment on here now! :laugh4:

 

 

And btw, sorry to hear about your bruises etc., hope you're feeling better in a couple of days! :cheesy: I'm sure they're a good reminder of your night!

They're little souvenairs I don't mind :laugh4: Well, I did mind when it happened but now I'm like LOOK! SEE WHAT I WENT THROUGH? This is LOVE!

 

 

Seriously, they're my favorite band ever. It's huge, me saying that, but.... hooonestly. That's it. I've never been so blown away by a band in concert, three times! holy christ.

 

 

Julian.... oh my... oh my god. He's......

 

 

I can't even explain it. I'm completely enamored. I'm so done looking for men, cuz that's it for me. HOW SAD. OH MY GOD. No one can compete. He's it in my mind.

 

I really effing wish I had pictures, I felt so naked not taking them, but I remember absolutely everything from the gig, which I usually can't say. It was so... so... I don't KNOW.

 

 

Amazing. Just utterly amazing. :D I love them!!!!

Oh don't worry about pictures, you'll find some eventually, you always do!

It's so different not taking photos, it's a different experience. You enjoy every single second without worrying about flashes or batteries or whatever. I know the feeling now, like desperately trying to see some to remember even more about the night. But nah, much better being there constantly instead of watching through a camera display!

 

 

 

But of course, do post photos of the night if you happen to find any! We're curious as well! what were the boys wearing? Julian's not still wearing the navy blue coat is he? That's pretty dated by now!

 

 

 

 

(Going to bed in a second, but talk tomorrow girl, so glad to hear from you tonight! Hope you can get SOME sleep! :kiss:)

I think he was.

 

 

I just remember him lifting it up and... I just... I kind of... I don't know I think I might have passed out for about 4 seconds cuz it was like 5 feet from me and I just really wanted to molest him.

 

 

lmfao ummmm, I dunno but I know Nikolai's outfit was the coolest shit ever, and Albert Hammond wears AWESOME trousers.

 

 

Fab is disturbingly cute. I wanted to hug him lmfao lmfao

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't deal with this, I'm not joking. I don't know how to control ymself. I'm on a total Strokes high. They're all I want for the rest of my life. I've got 2 gigs coming up next week and all I keep thinking is "I just wish they were the Strokes." FDJKL;FJDSKLA I don't think I'll ever be that close again, or at least not that intimate.......... I just... I...

 

 

I"m really in love with this band and I can't handle it.

 

 

I need sleep now. :stunned:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I touched Julian.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OH MY GOD.

Ohmy... that's.... hot :dead:

 

I'M HAPPY YOU ENJOYED IT AND RIGHT ON ENJOYING IT FOR YOURSELF :wink:

Seriously Danielle, that's the best fucking post-gig ramble i've ever read, it almost made me cry in parts!!! :cry: :heart:

 

 

AAAAAHHHH FUCK I'm so happy for youuuuu!!!! :nice: :kiss:

Danielle, Im in tears!! :bigcry:

That was the most beautiful review I've ever read. How can we laugh at you when you are in tears yourself? :bigcry:

 

Dont worry about the pics, we'll get them somewhere else. There's nothing like enjoying a concert fully and thorough. Even if you wanted, you were right in front of Jules(that was distracting enough, wasnt it?:blush:)

 

 

I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE YOU TOCHED HIM:stunned:

 

 

 

 

:stunned:

I'M STILL IN SHOCK.

 

 

 

All I can think about is the Strokes. I haven't listened to anyone else in 2 days. This is the same shit that happened when I saw them at Oxegen too, lmfaooo. Except... more... forceful love. omg.

 

I keep thinking about Julian. :bigcry: I really love him. He's so beautiful in person. Like there is not one bad look to him at all. His eyes and his hair and his hands and his legs and... his chest and..... and... just.... i love the man. He's so charismatic. AND OK NIKOLAI ROCKED THE HELL OUT OF ME. I started off closer to his side and then ended up like 2 songs in right in front of Jules (wtf how did that even happen!? LMFAO AT THE CROWD) but omg. When everyone else was screaming "JULIAN JULIAN!!!!" a girl and I randomly screamed "YO NIKOLAIIIII!" and he looked and was all "awwww!" and omg he's adorable. He's not ugly looking at all, everyone always says that. Not at all! He's so skinny, though. It's kinda hot.......... :uhoh:

 

 

And Nick is just gorgeous. He's almost horrifyingly gorgeous, like he's not real? I stared at him during the solo to uh... I don't even remember LMFAO well anyways he was just in the light and I stared and holy crap, rock god. That's all he is. A rock GOD.

 

 

Fab is adorable. He spilt Heineken on my hand :( LMFAO it was so nasty hhaha long story to that too, aw man. I've got to go to piano lessons, but yeah I'm going to write up a long thing in my journal and link it here later. Whoooooo.

 

 

And Albert's just so freakin awesome. He's kind of weird, how he stares off into space like :stunned: half the time??? LMFAO aw man love him. I think I"m going to see where he's playing solo and check it out! I think he's playing the Middle East in Cambridge, so yay!/end thinking out loud haha

 

 

 

Julian totally owned my soul last night, though. I think I'm going to have to turn lesbian because it's really Julian or bust. Cuz no one is that fucking awesome, no one.

 

 

:bigcry:

Nick....wow. :blush:

 

 

Im so happy for you really, sounds like it was a terrific night....

:D

lmfao I'm blabbing a lot about it, sorry 'bout that. :laugh4: I'm just trying to process it.

 

 

 

whoaz.

Im so happy for you !!! :D !!

 

Omg it muse have been a hell of a gig

 

OMG OMG OMG and you touched Julian's arm ... that like ...blowed my mind seriusly .... :dead:

 

omg ! :dance:

:dance:

 

 

:nice: You girls are so kind :D I wish I could have taken pictures for you lot, I could have got some genius shots. But it just wasn't physically possible :laugh4: I can only tell you: GO SEE THE STROKES WHENEVER/WHEREVER YOU CAN!

 

 

seriously, your mind will be totally blown permanently.

 

 

whoo, I have to take a nap :snore:

WOOO Still spoiling us with deatils Danielle? Keep getting greater and greater! How good would it be if a bootleg pops up? That would be like special treatment for you soul :blush:

 

 

 

I have to agree with the advice of going to see them if you can. IT'S AN ORDER. I was blown away as well. Lost my phone and then bumped into a friend from uni and she was like "Why do you keep smiling and laughing and jumping around? You just lost your phone!". I swear I didn't care a bit, it was worthy :smug2:

I was making some caps of the Reptilia vid haha , so here they are :D
