Gordon sounds like a proud parent when he talks about The Strokes, lol

[@isabelayourboyfriendshere1961]

He created a master piece 😤

[@lauracipollone294]

He sounds like the ex who wants to get back together. When you're married to someone else. The ex who lost their virginity to you. Anyway he's the sweetest man on earth and this episode is just so beautiful and sweet. I'll say it again: sweet

Mate Amargo he seems like such a chill, nice guy.

[@tosinkingfishercheeseburge8901]

Albert Hammond Jr He is Very Nice guy

[@lynzcandace3978]

I’ve talked to Gordon before! He’s super friendly and humble.

[@loversandlosers]

Gordon is the type of guy to pressure you to take drugs not because he wants to see you act crazy but because he wants to help you expand your mind to be on his level. Basically, he seems like the best trip sitter a person could ever wish to have lol

[@guillermovarelarodriguez8476]

Fab is The heart and soul of this "mini serie" and the band, is just such a nice guy and looks pretty humble and funny.

[@howtoeataham]

He’s hecka funny.

[@irishhungrydwarf9015]

They all have such great chemistry. All of them in the studio with eachother making music would be quite an experience to be involved in

Fab and Julian's voices are so therapeutic

[@reneecul1006]

[@allonmyownherewego9893]

You can tell Gordon really is the father figure of the group. It's really refreshing to see they haven't gotten to big for their boots and still have such a good relationship with the guy who helped break their sound. Honestly if it wasn't for Gordon who knows what The Strokes would have sounded like...

[@WSUGLUE]

Well said.

[@DaftPunk96]

"The more I don't play it well, the more I don't play it well." LMAO

[@ladynymeria_]

“I don’t have any more muscles. I gotta use my whole body.” - Poor Fab! 😅😂 You could tell from their reactions that it was really Jules who’s been hounding Fab to hit those drums harder. 😂🤣

[@howtoeataham]

He even put his finger up like he’s guilty haha.

[@ChrisCarmona]

No wonder Alex from The Voidz always looks like he's eating that shit up lmfao

[@Optim121]

I know I'm 3 years late to this but there is a video of Julian screaming and raging in live performances, and on a Letterman show you can see him mouth "drum harder you pussy" or something to that effect. He's a genius but the drawback is that he's also a perfectionist

[@Modijoe1959]

17:48 Guess Fab confirmed there's another record in the works. Great to here after so many people being worried "Ode to the Mets" was supposed to be a farewell to the band.

[@sargentotechape3913]

you make the year not a complete Garbage, you are the best

[@herrysimamora]

Jules: Sorry fab 😅 Fab: No its good. It's just scoliosis for life 😂

[@IguANAart]

These guys were so quiet and awkward at interviews 15 years ago, and now they are chill dudes having their own podcast! Well that is what I call a progress!

[@PirateRadioDude]

Ikr i think part of it is because theyre not in control in interviews, this is mainly a conversation between friends. Its still progress though, because i dont think they would want to open up about the past as relax as this 5 years ago.

[@isabelayourboyfriendshere1961]

I jut love how they are now comfortable

[@nickratliff8062]

People also forget that they were in their early twenties when they were this huge sensation. Now they're mature adults and probably a lot more comfortable in their own skin

[@kathiavargas4174]

Imo young Julian was super comfortable and interesting from the get go, theres an interview i think he did right before they started becoming super known and he was genuinely extroverted and engaging there it seemed like another human being completely

[@Liface]

They're still quiet and awkward.

Seeing the strokes reunite with Gordon Raphael is touching. I remember when i first heard "is this it". I thought the disc was broken because of the unusual sound. After giving it a second chance, it became one of my favorite records ever. Back than it was just changing my view on music. This record was kicking alternative and new rock into the grave just as "nevermind" did with hard rock. Pure history! So, the 25-year-mark is now almost insight, it is the time for another strokes/raphael project :) Seeing the guys talk made me realize, that i feel like "this is the band i always wanted to be in", and I'm not the only one ;) . At least i had my chance having a production with Gordon in 2007 :)

[@thomasthefuckingtrain185]

This is the best episode hands down

[@howtoeataham]

Yup. Gordon was a really good guest and seems like a really nice dude.

wow this is literally everything I expected to get from the band, some form of conversation between them in which I get to bond even more with what they represent to me. Funny how its so fulfulling to simply hear stories and infos we never got from these guys, even tho they've influenced a big part in our lives. can't wait for the next episode

[@dariomonaco3250]

Colin Jost out here living the best life on SNL, dating Scarlett J and being best friends with the fucking Strokes

[@retodded]

Imagine the places he'd go if he had talent!

[@fabulousness84]

I know it doesn’t really matter but I thought Colin only had one kid with Scarlett, yet he’s talking about walking with his daughter and meeting Fab? Weird.

[@jashi0994]

BEST episode. There's an 'awwww' feeling while watching this.

[@thainabarbosa1084]

This was THE BEST episode, I felt so close to you guys, I really had fun listening to these stories, moments, also the 2 guests were so nice!! I love you so much! Thanks for that.

[@howtoeataham]

Thainá Barbosa my fav episode so far too. Gordon is such a cool dude.

[@D0ng1]

I think it’s really amazing looking back and watching these videos with them talking with their producers. I remember watching a few different videos a handful of years ago. (Around the 4:10 mark when Fab’s talking about having to hit the drums harder, I remember a video where Fab mentioned the entire band looking back at him during rehearsals for The Modern Age and basically were like “if you’re gonna be the drummer, at least try to hit the drums” or something to that effect 😂) and I remember watching a mini documentary talking about the beginnings of The Strokes, and I remember feeling kinda sad watching it cause it’d sounded like post-Room on Fire, the band and Gordon kinda drifted apart, and I remember him saying he’d like listened to only a little bit of Angles, maybe seen them once live since, and it was just kinda melancholic. Really happy to see they got him on this show and seeing them laugh and talk

[@ashraffamin2419]

Hi, I'm from Malaysia. I really love this band from every aspect, their song,their melody, their character , their vibes and many more. I've heard their song since I was 10 around 2003. I hope this band will always rock on and their friendship will last forever.. Hope they will come to Malaysia later..

[@lowlink534]

I hope they do too! 🙌

[@stereolove2771]

It is interesting to note that Gordon Raphael has produced an album by Fobia, a legendary Mexican band. And in this video they mention how it would be cool if the strokes played a series of concerts where the would play all their albums in their entirety. Each night a different album. The funny thing is that, Fobia has already done this in 2012.

[@sofiobregon28]

I really liked this episode.. Their friendship is what keeps them going. Hopefully they'll carry on like that for a long time.

[@daniel_bento]

I think this was the best until now! Amazing to hear stories about your past, dudes. I first heard your music when I was seventeen, in high school. Now I'm almost 23 and finishing college. Lots of love from Brazil.

[@electricityscapes]

Gordon is such a sweetheart! I'm loving this guests format, keep it up guys.

[@volcaniadread]

funny, i was just thinking about the strokes ...actually getting very emotional about "At The Door"

[@disjustabs]

That was a great story! Shit, can you imagine if Is this it? was recorded by a different producer? I cant. The Strokes and Gordon were the perfect match.

[@allonmyownherewego9893]

yeah man i dnt wanna think what they'd sound like without Gordon - no Room On Fire either...

[@srtalulilu]

Albert’s smile illuminates my heart and soul

[@dulcecmendoza]

It's so crazy how my experience with the strokes is similar to Colin's in that they've always kinda come around for important shifts in my life, they're kind of my favorite band by default lol but I appreciate everything they make ❤️

Vibing with Gordon. He reminds me of my therapist 😂💚

[@jasonred7402]

"Find a dog" is my shit.

[@1111Kristin]

Jason Red Thanks. I wrote it. 🙃

[@1111Kristin]

Nostalgic Waves Odd as it may sound I sent the note “ Find a home. Find a dog. Settle down. Out of town. Find a dream. Shut it down.” as a note to Jules account on You Tube before his.first child was born when it was possible to send private messages on You Tube. After writing it I added that I just gifted him a song. Jules & Albert are listed as co-authors so the rest is a mystery to me “you asked me to stay” . Cross my heart on this. It was unsolicited life advice about sobriety & fatherhood. Sometimes you have to shut it down, the party that is. Imagine my shock and happiness when it appeared on Comedown Machine. This is my first time sharing this info outside close friends. It’s so personal to me even if they don’t recall where the words came from. I do. 🌹
