" evil critics need to just shup up. true music fans will listen to these songs & get something out of all of them. i'll say it again: i have not heard a crappy strokes song yet & i am someone who really LISTENS to music. and thanks to everyone here who posts their thoughts because it helps me too. i love this band!!! "
CHEERS to you!! I totally agree with you.. seems like every Strokes song page you read there has to be at least one person who puts them down. Why do you guys do that???
I mean I really can't understand why there's so many people who go "Huh the Strokes? i think i've heard of them"... "or those guys? i think they're weird" and the most hated comment: "i used to like them but now they've changed".
People don't stay 20 or single or say, sad/happy forever!!! People should be happy that there's a band out there who actually puts in hours of hard work for the money they make They don't get payed like some other "artists" for writing like 20 songs about bullets and blood (no offence to emo fans, actually sometimes i listen to MCR but for their guitar lol), or cuz they look good on those junky teen magazines, you get the drift....
If you really listen to their music and even to their few lowlites (e.g. killing lies) you will see that compared to other people... these guys are "the artists". Their music follows musical theory/rules, all of their lyrics are genius poetry, and Jules' vocals... well his voice never gets annoying, and do you know anyone who sounds as real as him live??? I think he might be one of the best original singers right now... (...sigh r.i.p. K. Cobain). Sometimes I think that it's ok that they're not getting the mainstream recognition of say RHChili Peppers or even Coldplay. Cuz you know the commercial success will eventually hit you in the head...
but i think their commercial success is finally coming... Probably for sure after their fourth album (if nothing goes wrong). This song "What Ever Happened?" is featured on the "Marie Antionette" Kirsten Dunst movie. Also, they wear chuck taylors under their dresses. (cool). Apparently the director's a fan. i think "Fear of Sleep" is also featured on some movie?? I'm not sure...
uuhhh... i should be heading to class... i was supposed to add my interpretation of this song but got distracted by the idea of Strokes putdowners... well you have to accept the fact that we're 6B people and we're all bound to love stuff hate stuff...
!!!! But you can't deny that The Strokes have revitalized rock!!!!
i really hope they don't get too much commercial success. i don't mean that in a bad way- i absolutely adore the strokes- i just think that if they started to get their songs played too much on mainstream radio, they might lose a little credibility. besides, for them, commercial success and making money is not why they do what they do. for them it's about the music- expressing themselves creatively so other people can listen to what they have to say. jules said that the whole point of "is this it" was to create an album that was "really...

ps. i love killing lies. i think fifteen minutes was more of a lowlight. but you're right, it's still great.
