When I was 15 I went on a trip to Amsterdam with a mate and his family who were from there. One day as we were trying to sneak into some coffee shops we saw a guy holding a map and talking on the phone who looked just like Albert Hammond Jr. So we were standing there in the middle of a busy shopping street, pointing, wondering if it was really him as we waited for him to hang up. Suddenly someone tapped me on my shoulder and said, "Hey kid, you should get his autograph, it's him". I replied that I thought so too and then a split second later realised it was actually Julian! I didn't have any paper, only those big rizla rolling papers, so he signed that for me. I said great show and he wrote "to Rachel". We laughed about it and then he signed another. Good memories :)

At 2:15, Albert knocked over the mic, so he turned around and I tried to grab it, meaning his guitar part was absent during that sequence. Another is at 2:31, Fabrizio pushed both of the microphones recording his drum so his drum sound got significantly reduced. Oh I love all these little things. Really shows that the attitude of the artist and their live playing capabilities. Please give us another album to cherish!

The Strokes' early albums are so timeless due to their deceptive simplicity and candor, both in songwriting and production. You have to remember that at the time _Is This It_ came out, Nü Metal was at its absolute peak, with bands like Linkin Park and Papa Roach thriving in all their maximalist, Wagnerian loudness. The Strokes' ability to bring sophisticated harmonic chord patterns, charismatic lyricism and dynamics, and evocative, intimate imagery to their music was nothing short of a *stroke of genius. All of which were done so masterfully with no fluff and no filler; just smart, seemingly insouciant, minimalist guitar pop, appearing out of nowhere. It was such a welcome respite from the compressed, shredded noise that dominated the airwaves and the reason The Strokes' appeal continues to today.

[@swaginator5077]

Linkin park is the only nu metal band I can respect but these strokes guys take the cake of anything early 2000s my god

I think a lot of the strokes guitar is a lot more complex than it sounds really. There is just a pretty high degree of talent all around in that band.

You know what the world could really use right now? A fresh band that brings that same kind of magic The Strokes delivered when they first came onto the scene. We need a band that's unafraid to experiment with sound, and create a unique style that becomes iconic. It wasn't just about the music; it was about their attitude, their authenticity. The only band that has given me the same feeling in recent years has been The Doublejumps, which is a band from my home country New Zealand (I live in Australia now). Sooo wish I could see them and The Strokes live one day 😎
