@@kyleharry6758 For myself, anxiety makes me feel like I have to BE more; to act more upbeat than I naturally am or comfortable with, which makes me more anxious--a vicious circle. Seeing Julian be this way is actually helpful in learning to accept myself. There's a predominant vibe in the modern world that extroverted is better. This causes more anxiety to those who are naturally quiet and introverted--it makes us feel not enough.

Truth and honesty are often served with ice so people avoid them. No one really want the cruel truth they want to hear what they want to hear. Anyway we like weird people don't we?

After one of his shows in 2014, me and a ton of other people waited to meet him. He was just so full of life and kind. It almost seemed like he thrives when interacting with his fans.

From my understanding, Casablancas was so sick of writing everything that he forced the band to go into the studio without him to write music for "Angles". They hated it, he hated it, and it was a miserable experience for all, but I'll be damned if it isn't my second favorite Strokes album.

[@jimmytumbles9640]

I think people would benefit from abandoning this idea that their use of a thing is the only valid use. Music is something that people use differently, and if it's good to them, it's good. If it's good to a lot of people, it's popular. That's it. Yes there are deeper levels of enjoyment to be had but that doesn't mean the surface doesn't matter. If you don't wanna watch the grammys, don't. Nobody "needs" to uphold your preferences or standards.

The strokes are a force of talent. From the lyrics, the awesome solos/breakdowns different instruments have to the way he’s progressed his singing. I can definitely see why you said this. This is the first interview of Juilan I see and from what it seems I’m glad he’s not a dick or full of himself. You can tell he likes the topics that are being talked about. About the growlers, great band. They seem heavily influenced by the strokes but not trying to be them. They’re definitely more surf, ska,.......has like a beach vibe.

I think that the Julian's perspective about music and how it is like an intermedium thing between the physical real world and a trascendal world is very accurate. I have felt sometimes, just listening to music, something spiritual like a conection and I am not talking about religious songs or something like that, it can be rock, jazz, reggae, the musical genre doesn't really matters, but music sometimes make me feel that life is just a moment which will finish in the same place for everybody, like returning to a place were we all belong, is such a complex thing, a little weird maybe😂 I don't know if anybody has feel that too, is such a soul thing. 😆 I hope I have expressed proper, English is not my mother tongue.

It seems like Julian doesn't know that when you guys are off air that you're actually recording him and would be sharing it with the world. He talks about this constant undercurrent he has to deal with and not being able to fully say what he would like to say about things in interviews while off air. So you sort of pull the wool over his eyes. Anyways, I'm just hoping he knows the off air stuff would be posted on social media. Incredible interview. Jules is the coolest man alive

We talked before, and he knew. I do really appreciate his candor just the same. I think he acts differently because we're not LIVE ON THE RADIO for those parts.

the strokes have been my favorite band since I first heard them in 6th grade, I remember the day like it was yesterday. every single member of the band has a special place in my heart but there is no singer on this planet like Julian. pure musical talent and respect for the art form. a man can dream but before I died my dream is to see the strokes live. I honestly believe I can die happy at that point. thank you for existing

[@gramtamtam]

Hope you Will get your dream come True 😊 I finally did this year 😊

He did it so effortlessly.

Ctfuuuu

[@gloomygoodgestreet]

he always does that, even in an older interview

[@TryingYourrLuck]

Great interview. Jules is so concern judging himself. He thinks way too much. I wish he didn't worry so much but you did a great job to make him more comfortable. He's just awkward 😂. I love his mind and music so much. Thanks a million again for this interesting interview. And may I add, how LUCKY those winners are with VIP tickets 💔

Thank you for noticing :) that's 100% what I was going for.

[@lauramarlen8795]

He's comfortable with himself, he's simply genuine and not putting on a mask which is rare in the music industry and you guys automatically assume someone lacks confidence as soon as they're not playing a character, he's simply being himself and being confident

[@bramburge311]

Julian is 40 looks like he’s 20 and acts like he’s 14.

[@juani-ws8yt]

Hahahahaha

He doesn't act like he's 14...

[@mariajesuslealaffeld2115]

he doesn't act like a 14-year-old, not at all, in fact, I couldn't disagree more.

[@danfrusciante8540]

​@@mariajesuslealaffeld2115 I think he meant that julian is awkward like a 14 year old

[@idealistmoon]

great interview. I completely understand when he was trying to explain about journalist and it made me sad when he said he has to be careful on explaining his views so not to offend anyone. Julian seems like such an awesome and humble person 😄

[@TheHumbleLOUD]

I love how y’all show the entire process, like off the air stuff and all, it gives a whole different and more wholesome vibe then most all other interview videos I’ve seen.

Alec rly is a genuinely good guy towards Julian and he was very respectful. I know how tough it probably is to interview him, but Alec found a sweet spot with Julian and really brought him out, great job man !!

[@familydontmatter5624]

leaving the footage where music was playing way an amazing part of this interview. Its like we were listening in to them backstage or something lol. So genuine and raw. I love it.

Guess i’ll watch it again for like the fourth time😂🤷‍♂️ again, great show/host and guest!❤️

Thanks so much Lucas!

That dude is always humming/singing to something

I would provide Jules with some mindfulness meditation lessons. He’s thinking a lot and being anxious. He just need some lessons I think, he’s great. Great personality just feeling not comfortable when people are interviewing him and that’s totally fine

[@hypnicjerk8854]

Lol. He’s coming down from a coctail of uppers and downers.

[@valeriaa1559]

Julian looks sort of troubled and adorable at the same time

[@rinology]

troubled and adorable, what an accurate description!

[@anaarias429]

there’s something I really love about this interview, I think it’s Jules awkwardness, but I have been waiting for this! ty ty ty!

[@AFistfulOfVinyl]

A few people called it awkwardness, but I honest think he's just genuine about who he is. He wasn't fronting or posturing for the cameras. He was just him. I really appreciated that.

[@anaarias429]

A Fistful Of Vinyl that’s exactly it, he’s so humble but also so great, I’m not sure he’s aware xD Also I appreciate how you tried to make him feel comfortable throughout the whole interview, sometimes I feel like he gets nervous when he isn’t able to put his thoughts into words but this interview was so interesting, the questions were great and this is a long hour interview with Julian mother freaking Casablancas, so I’m not complaining, thanks again for this! :)

[@mjj7781]

I think he is just himself, honest and thoughtful. It's rare, so it seems "awkward". I don't think he's awkward. I wish there were more people like him

Es normal, los neoyorkinos suelen arrastrar bastante las palabras, y encima de eso, Julian siempre ha sido como muy "too cool" como para siquiera hablar jajaja, de The Strokes, quien habla a veces más clarito pueden ser Fab o Albert.

es porque tiene mucha flojera al hablar 🙄

[@AFistfulOfVinyl]

[@mariahmunoz1268]

All he wanted was for people to hear his music and feel the art within it and kind of bond with those moments that to them is their entire musical livelihood. It's so much more personal and then you get people just making comments on his looks and he's so hot and comparing them to other bands. I can't imagine how fucking exhausting being a musician who actually cares about what they do must be. I'm just glad I was alive to hear their music. It did a lot for me in points of my life I will remember because of songs they created.

[@autumnorozco9409]

This is me during a job interview.

[@Srailex]

It was great to hear Julian's insight on Think Before You Drink and to hear his take on covers in general. I've always found that song to be particularly enigmatic and intriguing.

[@ElvenWisdom]

He is too ancient of a soul for this world...nothing surprises him any longer. He can’t be bothered with this world. Julian has seen some things, spiritually speaking.✨

[@Jonathan-ci7fs]

I'm surprised by the balanced view Julian has on the economy and social issues. Awesome. Celebrities and rock stars usually lean one way to an extreme.
