The Strokes Recording 'Room On Fire' | Meet Me in the Bathroom

Taken from the documentary 'Meet Me in the Bathroom' released on November 25th, 2022. With the help of interviews, live shows, and some never-seen-before footage, 'Meet Me in the Bathroom' documents the rise of some of New York's most iconic 2000s bands, including The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s and Interpol.
I was initially going to upload every scene that included the Strokes, but that video got blocked worldwide. FYI, when a KZbin video is blocked worldwide, then nobody can watch it other than the poster. If you're interested in that, I uploaded all The Strokes scenes to Google Drive: drive.google.com/file/d/1dS3Q...

Bucket full of cigarette butts is crazy

[@blankpool]

Ive always wanted to see more of this footage of them in the studio during this era, im glad its in the movie

[@SoulSonder26]

What movie is this?

[@vondock]

​@@SoulSonder26 meet me in the bathroom

[@jehnull]

@3:05 "roll joints, do speed" perfect sound check

[@marie-ku1qm]

From here on out, if someone asks me how I feel, I'd say, "Oh, I am tense for sure, but I am confident."

[@Maletchy]

The "Tense but confident" response from Nicolai is a nice reference to 12:51 :D

[@nvrndingsmmr]

That's awesome, I didn't catch that! Hahaha

[@sentimentaleducation4112]

I've seen every interview from them ever, but I can never find this one yet can find the article for the photoshoot they shot that day

[@imgon714]

it sure is i was ab to comment sum similar

[@youthgonewild]

bro flabbergasted when he finds out Julian wrote everything lmao

[@DeSlagen8]

Crazy seeing them playing the songs in the recording studio

[@noisebleed1980]

Jules is a mastermind the rest of the band just needed to learn to trust him. I think by album 3 the tension was too high, but I feel that's my favorite album. And then in 2020 they made ''The New Abnormal'' another great album! I'm a big fan and even love all the solo projects.

[@thomashallesy8835]

every album is great. and albert and rhe voids.

[@DrLongSchIong]

@@thomashallesy8835this guy fucks

[@maximthefox]

Had FIOE been 8 or 9 songs in length it'd have been a much bigger hit

[@noisebleed1980]

@@maximthefoxI agree. Even ten songs would make it in my pick. Some parts rushed a bit I felt.

[@nastyladd]

I would definitely trust the guy who wrote all the music and lyrics to “Is this it” and “room on fire”

[@jonathana9236]

Oh these song lasted the test of time 2024 in on !

[@nlorens]

THANK YOU

[@startervisions]

Thank you!

[@PCDisciple]

Such a goated video damn

[@lalotime]

Room on Fire wasnt the same as the Is This It. It was way more complex.

[@SekkiCola]

At 2:38 the interviewer don't help them. Thanks for sharing the video 👍 😊

[@reptili4]

Can you share the Google Drive link? The link from the description doesnt work.thank you great video❤

[@freddiewadling2090]

Shame that they were rushed into doing their 2d record... "Don't wanna let people down..." Man, that's... And even with that stress and time pressure, Room On Fire was a GREAT album. Would probably have been even better if they weren't pressured like that.

[@Ultima2876]

Pressure creates magic sometimes.

[@isaiahbraugher9342]

Cool!

[@franciscogarrido9339]

Does anyone know how to see the full documentary in Europe??

[@LagmasterB]

“Same as the last one. Same songs, different arrangements.” Understatement of the century. Room on Fire was massive. You could make this argument about First Impressions of Earth. Vision of Division and Fear of Sleep

[@jojomahoy5232]

I liked when he said that 😂

[@daveg9541]

Need that google drive link in the description

[@pyxidus_]

12:51 lol

[@flavionatercio22]

Wtf!?!!!!!! 😮

[@mmundle941]

I see what u did there lol

[@valentinapereira6939]

I Feel bad for Albert

[@thenaut2111]

same man, it's kinda messed up that Julian didn't let him put any songs on the record

[@garryrptr]

At least they've worked as a team and freely puts their opinion nowadays, i do feel bad for him too.

[@yammark25]

And he has some great songs as well

[@lalotime]

​@thenaut2111 to be fair julian is better at writing songs that do commercially well. Albert can write cool pop songs. Like cooker ship or far away truths. But the rest is kinda bland. No clear structures in his songs

[@jdubmusic3]

"Roll joints, do speed" lol

[@iluvbelle]

Where can I watch the full video?

[@neillaika]

2:53

[@BoourSelf]

What's the song name playing background right from the start?

[@JohnLeonard5150]

It's called "12:51"

[@BoourSelf]

@@JohnLeonard5150 nah I mean when they talk at 0:07

Communiqué - Cross Your Heart

[@obscurasfantaseas]

so julian is the reason the songs were repetitive

[@olal9904]

wdym repetitive?

[@nopeISdope96]

Been listening since like 2003 since around the time Is This It was released. Stopped listening to their other albums there after and only recently have been going back discovering their earlier work. The New Abnormal was great and showed how that "Julian Sound" still works. The Strokes are a great band and should be definitely revered as a legendary indie rock band. I recommend watching the doc Meet Me in the Bathroom if you haven't already.

[@obscurasfantaseas]

@@nopeISdope96 i was 13 when i first heard julian’s ‘11th dimension’ 24 now. yes i agree not saying anything bad abt The strokes, just facts. i have two album tattoos.

[@timhall3575]

Worked with a band who were playing Later With Jools Holland (UK TV music show) and the Strokes were on the show as well. Promoting Room On Fire. The atmosphere around them was toxic. The crew around them were miserable and arguing - the band seemed disinterested, stressed and really pissed off. It was a depressing spectacle to behold.

[@hangarsacto]

What a nothing band….

[@Met-one]

and yet here you are wasting your time just to let everybody know... are you doing ok?

[@peteruchiha1543]

are u stupid or are u deaf? or both?
