New Strokes Song (?) (26/07/22) Live at the John Cain Arena, Melbourne

The Strokes live at John Cain Arena 27th July 2022 ad-lib or potentially singing a new song.

[@g.garcia106]

I think it's an improvisation that they took too far because they were in the zone… may be the seed of a new song

[@garciasotocesaraaron2982]

I think the same

[@todaljino3182]

Highly likely! I just think the way he says ‘how’s it going everybody?’ in the tune of the song itself, then ‘this sounds like a new song’ (almost sarcastically) may hint that it could very well the seed to a new song.. fingers crossed it is!

[@carrero11]

They’ve already recorded this song. Whether it was in TNA sessions or more recently, don’t know. But longtime fans should know this is not an improvised jam.

[@ryanporter1997]

@@carrero11 exactly, a few weeks ago when nicks amp went out they did a improv thing then, this is completely different this is definitely a new song.

[@Luis-iq8mu]

@@todaljino3182 he said that sounds like a real song not new song

[@haydenhartranft1524]

Damn I really need a new Strokes album

[@Dbzfuckyea]

I believe it was stated a few months back they were recording again🤔

[@harrisonwhitman3329]

Hopefully this is on it

[@anaaguilar7263]

Check out the Voidz with Julian if you haven’t

[@elisegallagher4401]

Thank god someone captured this, the most beautiful improv song I ever heard and I was worried in the moment I’d never hear it again

[@rafiftimothy4242]

4:21 he really improvd one of the most beautifully hard-hitting lyrics out of thin air like it's nothing

[@g0thbacon]

What did he say at 4:21?

[@blackphoenix8932]

I'm loving the recent on-stage jamming sessions. 👌 Julian always does them with the Voidz.

[@Fabianbrito1998]

People were complaining about this after the concert. It’s what I went for. Pure creativity.

[@johnd3124]

Australians are so uptight lol

[@doggypeppers7739]

Those kind of "fans" that just go to their concerts to listen reptilia, took a video for IG and then get bored, are annoying and really don't appreciate the strokes unique style.

[@josephsu95]

Its only 6 min long and sounds amazing, cant comprehend lol

[@tatertot2484]

such ingrates

[@bactablack1384]

They aren’t true fans then

[@thomasthefuckingtrain185]

This way too good to be a jam holy shit

[@yassirahmed6756]

With this I think it's safe to say that the strokes have outgrown their first two albums and found a new sound. Anyone who says they fell off after room on fire needs to listen to this. I hope we get another album with songs like this on it soon

[@NICKMBRAND]

i think that this is still very true to their old style just from a more mature and wise place now, agreed tho

[@thevoid4713]

this sounds like a room on fire song but more mature

[@Urger334]

I would like to think they never fell off, just sought to be known for something other than Is This It… People wanted them to do the same thing again and again, but they chose to evolve

[@iamhereblossom1588]

I don't get how anyone can say that. All of their albums are amazing. First impressions of earth may be my favorite

[@manford1]

@@iamhereblossom1588 definitely the best one! That album has the sound of raw emotion and real life struggle

[@cochisenahuh7939]

Hopefully this will end up being a real song cuz it sounds great. Thanks for recording.

[@bitter_vanilla]

it's depressing and calming at the same time

[@brandonmacias5134]

Hope you feel better bro

[@NeaRaRiver]

2 am. Woke up, could not sleep,brain, nerves are on fire, fear etc... Came up to listen some Strokes melodies to cheer me up and this just popped up. When the guitar melody first hit I started crying immediatley knew this will be the best 6 minutes of my life. No other band can do this to me a random song meets with basic human chemicals and an unexplainable happy and sad joyful feeling comes together into euphory, a perfect balance. If only I could relieve this... Just absolutely amazing how they have these kind of songs in their sleeves easily. Every instrument is just perfect how the guitars start to talk and Fab and Nikolai is there to back it up and take you away on the train of unexpected melodies. Julians small jokes calms me down that itll be ok... then he starts to sing and gets into it seriously is when the joy hits like an atom bomb. I do not care what anyone else says. What ever happens around Julian is something exceptionally magical thats something worth to live for whatever happens.

[@COLLIE_TOONZ]

Never have I heard the Strokes described more accurately. Keep on my man.

[@Smarty31024]

Well said…

[@ColonelAngus3]

Really hope this becomes something at some point

[@niezyje8922]

sounds like hes humming just doesn't have lyrics yet so maybe they are figuring out

[@deskrabbit2190]

This is lovely. Threat of Joy vibes

[@joelewis5638]

Please be a future song. I absolutely love this

[@catcreates1222]

i was right infront on the stage on the floor. most beautiful experience ive ever had. i hope they come back in the future 😭

[@zackabean]

To me, this sounds to me like a Strokes version of Human Sadness. It has that melancholic melody to it, catchy as hell hook, and lyrics about the past, but also just a straight up jam. Love these guys

[@namelesschannel93]

I feel it's closer to a Strokes' version of Did My Best

[@strokeshappy3297]

I can’t get enough of these jams, it’s when Julian is his happiest 😄🤘❤️

[@JL0C214]

"somethin ain't right" this melodic croon is stuck in my head

[@JL0C214]

2:23 - 3:05

[@BAMStudios]

Holy shit this improv jam is insane, you can tell the next level synergy with the band is amazing! I did hear people complained about this but imagine being lucky to hear a improv from this band? I know The Voidz do improv jams all the time but for The Strokes to do it, super rare! Thank you for recording this, I'm saving it to my favorites!

[@rckkatansky5783]

This is actually good wtf

[@TwinzLP]

what a special moment, thanks for recording it

[@TakeASecondThereCowboyAndRelax]

The Strokes / JC community should compile all these KZbin-one off songs and improve moments into one place.... not saying there should be a bootleg ..... or anything ....

[@niezyje8922]

yeah so albert knows how to make a song off the top of his head and nick just compliments the idea. i tell you albert will always be the backbone of this band

[@sarucanine6044]

"Always" as in post the first 3 albums which are 90% Julian

[@bumzz2056]

@@sarucanine6044 albert and julian made soma and alone together. julian helped albert alot with guitar riffs from *is this it* great duo honestly. the whole band is just perfect

[@sarucanine6044]

@@bumzz2056 that might be true, but if you check the song writing credits for the first three albums they are all written solely by Julian except for automatic stop, ask me anything, killing lies and evening sun where each band member co-wrote one each with Julian. Also not the bests songs if you ask me. Sure, their later stuff has been a mixture of all of them together and obviously the sound has and always will be influenced by them as individual musicians. But the driving creative force behind their success has always been Julian

[@bumzz2056]

@@sarucanine6044 he’s a genius, he orchestrates the band flawlessly. Instant crush is one of my favorites from him. i think he did some of the guitar parts as well. but yeah their success does revolve around Casablancas. interesting dude

[@tzing2589]

Julian wrote every single guitar part on the first three records, and this was absolutely not "off the top of his head" lmao

[@lostmyedge_]

4:48 I was in the front row at this show and since then that line has played over and over in my head

[@Walatron1]

Sounds like something Julian would do with the voidz… 🤔🤔🤔 I love this!

[@TG-uj6yu]

I bought Is This It on it's release date. Same with Room on Fire and 1st Impressions. Depending on who you asked the Strokes started to spiral after their 1st 3 albums. But once I absorbed the Voidz and the New Abnormal the other albums started to make more sense. They weren't looking to be who everyone else wanted them to be. Musicians should progress throughout their career and it's been an interesting journey following the Strokes as they branch out and come together to deliver so many amazing tracks! Can't wait for this seedling to grow

[@giannalaurencio4315]

My favorite album is angles! they didn't spiral imo

[@TG-uj6yu]

@@giannalaurencio4315 I think my opinion of them spiraling was me getting older wanting them to fit what I wanted them to keep being. I just got lazy with music for a while as I started a family and had all these new hobbies. But it’s so cool to come back and rediscover them all over again

[@thedominion6643]

Nice surf rock vibe

[@francoorcellet5129]

Still listening to this piece of art

[@iamjames7935]

Watching this as I'm finally reading the "Meet Me in the Bathroom" book chapter about the Strokes and how young they were when they first met. Makes perfect sense.

[@chrvtiannn2609]

pure talent from 5 different individuals

[@chrisr850]

I was already excited for the next album but after hearing this I’m going nuts.

[@suzytucker7041]

So I went over from NZ to see this show, loved it naturally, but just wished the lighting had been brighter at times [couldn't really see their faces] and also that I'd also gone to Sydney for the next show. Now I have post Strokes depression because I'd been looking forward to the concert for so long. Sighhhhhhh

[@badforthesoul]

This and the Paul Simon improv he did during the encore made this concer

[@Slashycent]

They simply never miss. Only get better and better. Really hope for this to become a finished song some day. It's lovely. 💜

[@mst7806]

I was there. The projectors weren’t working properly. I thought they did this while they fixed them. Love the song they created though.😀

[@hudeslanpires6835]

One problem with the Strokes is they dont drop music enough. Julian overthinks everything but that's also what makes him next level. Thank God Rick Rubin just told them to jam first when they got back in the studio or else we prob wouldn't have New Abnormal

[@howtoeataham]

Pls let this be a real song on the new album 😭

[@ame1997_]

this is an improvised song on the setlist, for your knowledge. Could be a seed of a new song, but it says its an improvisation on the official setlist on concertarchives.
