The Strokes - Hard To Explain, Live @MTV $2 Bill 2002

[@someguy3152]

This is 21 years old this is basically our 80s to the people of the 2000s

[@HarrisonHollers]

Goddam we old!

[@markdog912]

Esto es más para los nacidos en los 90's porque los que nacieron en los 2000's apenas eran bebés cuando la banda nació!

Your mom seems pretty cool

[@ChrundleTheGreat1917]

One of the best bands of all time. Most bands in music history don't have albums that are even close to as good as Is This It or Room on Fire

[@figfruit]

Room on Fire is my favorite album of all time, all of the songs in it are perfect, Under Control is a bit lower in my opinion but its still a 9/10 song, Is This It is a close second though.

[@williamcowie9187]

Whatever Happened? is such a banger

[@markdog912]

I think there are many bands that meet those requirements 😅

[@hunorio]

This will forever be one of my favorite videos.

[@mariaayres15]

All this time, and it's Still the best.

[@ians3801]

Really wish the high quality version of this could be uncovered

[@chrissantos5580]

There is no high quality it was shot like this on purpose like watching something from the seventies

[@NotaDrDoom]

Idk why I'm here now but there's higher quality versions on KZbin now.

[@user-dnf83n0s8sg9u]

@@NotaDrDoom This song isn't one of them, unfortunately. These were recorded but not included in the aired program. They were just for the audience at the venue. Only MTV has them and I assume they're too braindead or too apathetic to care about what's sitting in their vault. Probably also problems with RCA prevent them from distributing any of the videos

[@hectormedina2873]

Why does this video looks like it was recorded in 1976?

[@defoperator7993]

2001 was still vhs

[@HAL-ge9xq]

Because they were heading the vintage new wave revival underground of 2001, its all apart of a super authentic shot of nostalgia, which was so amazing and revolutionary to see, in that time of P.O.D./nu metal /skate punk/blink 182(God bless’m!!).... soft and reserved yet not lacking any intensity! There music seemingly came out of nowhere and still sounds like you have become Elliot from E.T. and your dreaming of a psychedelic rapid color changing 1980’s ‘Light Brite’ toy!

[@andreamarcellini230]

@@HAL-ge9xq much agreed man! Those were the years

[@jamesdoctor8079]

Damn you know you’re getting old when you can audibly discern the fact that Fab was off time at the beginning

[@Kitchyyy]

he wasn't off, they just played slower

[@Mf-mc2ji]

sounds better this way imo!

[@jfprieur]

Isn't he always off time live? Julian and him is a real love story! ;)

[@jahcobestradaflores3327]

Pasan los años y amas mas esta canción ❤

[@jiml]

How is it that concerts from the 80s have better quality than something from 2002 🤦‍♂️

[@biassp]

Was an honest man Asked me for the phone Tried to take control Oh, I don't see it that way I don't see it that way We shared some ideas All obsessed with fame Says we're all the same Oh, I don't see it that way I don't see it that way Raised in Carolina I'm not like that Tryin' to remind her When we go back I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train I'll try but you see, it's hard to explain I say the right thing, but act the wrong way I like it right here, but I cannot stay I watch the TV, forget what I'm told Well, I am too young, and they are too old The joke is on you, this place is a zoo You're right it's true He says he can't decide I shake my head to say Everything's just great Oh, I just can't remember I just can't remember Raised in Carolina She says, "I'm not like that" Tryin' to remind her When we go back I say the right thing, but act the wrong way I like it right here, but I cannot stay I watch the TV, forget what I'm told Well, I am too young, and they are too old Oh man, can't you see I'm nervous? So please Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean I missed the last bus, we'll take the next train I'll try but you see, it's hard to explain

[@Pwonts94]

um where are nick's legs at 1:25

[@cryoatix]

it’s hard to explain

[@anshuuu9708]

Least did they know, they were Experiencing legends.

[@magroves]

Something about this being so loosey goosey is exciting though when it all comes together at the first pause and then comes back in. Is it gonna come together...IT DOES! Woooooooo

[@UnaWarlock]

Greatest thing dver

[@UnaWarlock]

Ever

[@tonybelfast1389]

Haha you can see Jules talking to Fab at the beginning. Probably saying "PLEASE DO NOT MESS UP!" Fab was really drunk at the time lol.

[@jjvexist]

He held it together pretty well tho

[@happysoc5703]

Jules was also very drunk but the others I would not know

[@santiagoruelas213]

@@happysoc5703 Fab was pretty drunk, they all were. There's another video where you can see they actually took some time off, and Ryan Gentles gets up on stage to cheer Fab up so he can keep going. There's this weird thing with bands, like a sort of bond when you're up on stage against the crowd. Being drunk or high can really boost that, this concert is proof of that

[@Soloryo]

@@santiagoruelas213 I guess you could call it a 🤔... concerted effort 😂

why is so slow???

[@aza3ful1]

Fab was tired so it was risky to play it too fast

[@Nachotina]

i prefer this tempo

[@andreamarcellini230]

'The Modern Age' is slow too...

1.1x speed, you're welcome
