ska February 16, 2006 at 3:10 pm: so overated. another yawn.
Jonathan February 16, 2006 at 5:48 pm: Did the Rolling Stones already make this video?
Anonymous February 16, 2006 at 7:03 pm: ^^who cares julian is hot…and albert is a champ in this video
Fo February 16, 2006 at 8:50 pm: that video was so hairmetal or something. the only thing missing is like pyrotechnics. julian is crazy hot though. but laying down for a whole song… um.. whats that about?
Anonymous February 16, 2006 at 10:20 pm: who directed this? they should really go back to roman
Anonymous February 16, 2006 at 11:42 pm: I wish all the guys lying on the street in this city looked like Julian.
joanna February 17, 2006 at 12:10 am: was he feeling low? depressed maybe? poor julian… or was he trying to sing THROUGH the planet by lying on the ground like that? aahhh the perplexion…
overall, it was angst at its melancholic peak.
Bryce February 17, 2006 at 5:58 am: I wish I knew what the strokes were trying to do. It all just confuses me. Perhaps Julian is lost and doesn’t know what the fuck hes doing anymore. I’m all out of ideas.

(cool site btw)
Amira February 17, 2006 at 5:59 am: you are welcome!
poo February 17, 2006 at 5:29 pm: nick is sex
Anonymous February 17, 2006 at 9:03 pm: beats the juicebox shit video
Anonymous February 17, 2006 at 9:18 pm: that video actually got cut off. at the end, after nick drops his guitar, the camera zooms out giving you the impression he dropped the guitar all the way from the top of the building
Anonymous February 18, 2006 at 5:26 am: well it’s beautiful..
i just wish they had done more with the lyrics.
mimi February 18, 2006 at 9:55 am: this video is amazing! i love nokolais suit in it! i love the video so much!
u get to see julian’s ring all the time though ..
mimi February 18, 2006 at 9:55 am: whoops. i ment ‘nikolai’, of course.
julian casablancas February 18, 2006 at 7:30 pm: yeah i look pretty hot
G.W. Bush February 19, 2006 at 1:09 am: First Comment…I didn’t watch it but I know it sux…Are you trying to be a moron on purpose or are you high or are you just drunk.
laura February 19, 2006 at 10:03 am: i’m so psyched that the prez is reading my site. now i know what he’s doing when he’s supposed to be running the country.

No. I wasn’t trying to be anything. I was pointing out that this new Strokes album sucks so much that it wasn’t even worth watching the video. I was very sober at the time, Dubuya.
gukarma February 19, 2006 at 2:18 pm: Terrible. This whole album sucks. What happened to the rocking band of is this it.
Andrea Bravo February 19, 2006 at 5:55 pm: i love the strokes im a huge fan of them the first time i saw them i fell in love with them i ve know the band when the just started so im a true fan this new video was great just like the others oh man i cant wait to go see them in a concert for the one in houston texas i love them so much and wish the best for the strokes bye love you guys
C February 19, 2006 at 6:09 pm: Bands are supposed to be about the music. Not the videos or the cute singers or guitarists.
Personally, I think the Strokes are great, and that the guys are cute, but I’m wondering if anyone is even listening to the Strokes anymore or just looking at pictures.
anchy February 20, 2006 at 2:55 pm: oh my god!!!
the video is so great!!!!how could you people think otherwise???
ofcourse julian is sex! for me he is a simbol of sexyness…mmmm….and the whole album is awsome!
ofcourse, i’m their number one fan from serbia, maybe even in europe so i gues this is a bit to subjective….
THEY RULE!!!
anchy February 20, 2006 at 3:02 pm: The video is so MF GREAT!!how can you people think otherwize?! ofcourse julian is the sex!!
for me he is THE SIMBOL of sexyness…mmmm…AND HE IS MINE!!! anyway,the whole album is abnormaly good, specialy ‘ize of the world’ song. by the way i’m their number one fan from south europe, so i guess this is a bit too subjective… but they’re still the best!!!
Anonymous February 20, 2006 at 6:20 pm: Go away Sonja you insufferable twat.
Al February 22, 2006 at 6:22 am: I actually think the video is very effective, esp the line about fighting through the crowd when he is lying in the middle of a busy street. Sam Bayer has done a good job at capturing the feeling of the song and presenting it visually.
Ai and Julian down on the ground is an image I will certainly cherish!
anchy February 22, 2006 at 6:41 am: Al, you are reading my mind…
Al February 22, 2006 at 2:57 pm: i’m psychic don’t you know!
anchy February 24, 2006 at 11:47 am: i don’t know actualy… how old are you i’m just wondering?
Elektra Isabell Nottinghamshire February 25, 2006 at 10:44 am: The Strokes are a band that make music and money. They ARE good and although some people think the contrary, I don’t care; they’re still famous. And hot. And loads richer than half of us. Until you dissers are as wealthy as they are, don’t complain.
letty March 4, 2006 at 1:56 pm: OH MY BLOODY GOD IS JULIAN HOT!!!!!! I WANT TO MARRY HIM

anyway the strokes song is great and they look very sexy in NY
Kloe Jobling March 9, 2006 at 10:08 am: i think it’s a proper bo video!
and the song is not too bad either!
Julian looks well fitt…altho i would stand on him just for the fun of it if i saw him lying on the ground!
The song is well suited to the video…end of
sisscors March 10, 2006 at 7:15 am: ye i wud step on julian repeatedly hehehe…… i dont mind this video its not good or bad…..

sisscors March 11, 2006 at 1:50 pm: O MY GOD HES WEARING THE F*****G RING IN THE VIDEO I H8 HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
cst March 19, 2006 at 3:15 pm: he does flaunt the ring a bit much…it’s quite sad. other than that, though, i must say julian casablancas = sex.
Miky March 23, 2006 at 12:28 pm: I don’t care what the other say.
I absolutely loved the new video. It’s well directed and I really love the style in black and white. I’ve known them since the early bigginning and I can say that they didn’t lost the touch.

Long live The strokes!!!!!!!!!!!!
ana March 25, 2006 at 3:26 pm: It’s a great video. I love Julian, I love Julian chain, I love Julian jacket , but I hate his FUCKING RING !!!!!!
roxy March 30, 2006 at 1:58 pm: i love juilian. the strokes are amazing
andrea March 31, 2006 at 10:21 am: all 5 strokes = sex … at once…
Katie April 4, 2006 at 8:23 am: You would step on julian?
I would fucking DIVE on him! i would say and rape him repeatedly but that sounds bad.
you don’t hate julian because of the ring you hate Juliet grr:@
people who say they dont like the strokes are just imbecilic and bromidic.
after seeing them i realised that Albert is the “sex” although i love them all.

LOVE the video xxxx
scissors April 5, 2006 at 12:45 pm: ye i wud step on him only bcoz im mad with him 4 gettin married! his wife is a TRAMP dont get me wrong coz i dnt want him but he cud hav don betta than that ugly side dish! xD =P
SWEDEN April 14, 2006 at 7:17 am: You people who didn’t like this video.. WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU? Don’t you have a sence for real music? This video is what we say im my language “KLOCKREN”.
spring April 14, 2006 at 3:18 pm: Julian is the shit. This video is the shit. The Strokes are the shit. I really enjoyed the comment about wishing all guys lying down in NYC looked like Julian! That tickled my funnybone. Thanks!
Matt April 16, 2006 at 11:02 am: “cmon guys get back 2 the dyas of good videos like the 1s from the first album!!”

LMAO allybee you are obviously not a great strokes fan. the videos from the first album were very underfunded which meant most of the videos from their first album were either them live or just pictures of things in stopmotion lmao.

anyway i fucking love the strokes and love how theyve progressed over the years. i must admit when i heard juicebox for the first time on kerrang i didnt really like it, but after a while you get used to it and the album. and no-one here cant admit that they listened to the first album and straight away loved every single track, but soon enough you do. and funnily enough i thought julian looked cool from the beggining, yet my girlfriend didnt find him fit. then when she saw this video and shes like OMG HES SO HOT! and im like I TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE! anyway what is it with women and men lying on the floor rolling about like a tramp. do they instantly get attracted? ive gotta try that…
Matt April 16, 2006 at 11:06 am: oh and i saw them live at brighton and they rocked so hard when i left brighton centre i felt the urge to shout out “I LOVE YOU JULIAN” and i did and someone called me a poof….but it was worth it
Tyson April 17, 2006 at 9:42 pm: good thing none of them fell off the buildings. admit it, you’d all be sad. even you people that don’t like this video.
helen April 26, 2006 at 2:48 pm: the video is awfully good, but i would like to know the place that they choose for engrave it. IÂ´ll be so grateful!!
irene May 3, 2006 at 6:40 am: where is recording this video?
manda May 17, 2006 at 2:59 pm: this video is amazing and a lot of you do not recognize great music when you hear it – the strokes are simply the best and i am tired of hearing how they suck!
giangy June 5, 2006 at 9:44 am: I love them and I love this song. It is as beautiful as reptilia.
giangy June 5, 2006 at 9:45 am: (tradotto)
io adoro loro e questa canzone. La canzone Ã¨ bella come reptilia.
Vane June 9, 2006 at 9:16 am: The StRoKeS are the best! .. i Love everything about Julian, and i think the song, video and album are great! ..
