Arctic Monkeys - Is This It live @ Forest Hills Stadium, NYC - July 24, 2018

Strokes cover!

[@blackphoenix8932]

I love that the fans knew right from the opening drum beat what song it was. Iconic music.

[@scottysneakers77]

Lol I really doubt they knew it was is this at the first second. They were just cheering cause they started to play another song

[@Deehmeyer]

Black Phoenix 89 they knew it cause everyone knows that alex is the biggest strokes’ fan💗

[@TheWorldOfVenzh]

Kameraa I mean if you listen to Arctic Monkeys enough to go to one of their shows you probably listen to at least some of The Strokes, shouldn’t be too hard to recognise one of their most popular songs then

Julian Casablancas should sing Fluorescent adolescent or I bet you look on The dancefloor

[@BeachSkies]

I've always thought about what The Strokes should cover from Arctic Monkeys and honestly I could see The Strokes playing a good tune out of When the Sun Goes Down. The first part would be a great melody for Julian to sing to and the song turns into a more aggressive punch which fits their style. Add Julian's raspy vocals similar to Reptilia and I think it'd be perfect.

[@Pantano63]

They still exist? As a band I mean.

Dudes been waiting his whole career to do this

[@rarethen9]

This is such a great cover. This song’s tempo can be a struggle and they nailed it. Alex is at his finest vocally. Another fantastic cover by them, like every cover they’ve done.

[@alangoarin8366]

rarethen9 nothing else to say, you're totally right.

[@antoninavirduzzo5492]

Alex is Alex, the best

[@blahaj784]

Wait, why is the tempo a struggle?

[@bf7432]

It's not, I am not sure what the dude meant, the hard part is the intensity yet detachment of the vocal. And I am not a fan of the way Turner sings it, sounds like he only push the detachment feeling.

[@callumalston5755]

rarethen9 I mean it is Alex’s favourite album of all time, it would surprise me if they couldn’t cover it
