    Hello people!!
    I'm a message board virgin, this is my first post, so be nice!! ;)
    Well just wanted to say that I was at the strokes gig on sunday nite and it was seriously one of the best i've ever been to.
    What made really nice is that i got to meet 4 of them before and after the show, and they were really sweet. My fave is Albert, he is God!!

    Having been up close to the band, here are my first impressions, in case anyone cares:

    Nikolai=shy
    Fab=adorable
    Nick=gorgeous/scary
    Julian=absent
    Albert=GOD
    Ryan Gentles(manager)=sweetheart

    By the way, The guys showed up, played an amzing show and left the stage. How is that pretentious or up themselves??
    Love the Strokes Queen
    p.s. Albert and Fab were nice enough to come down again after the show, and were really polite and sweet. So were the support, Longwave.

    the strokes eh???
    i would just like to say who gives a f_ck what they're like as people,i mean there album is ****ing super,and i defy anyone doesn't agree. The only reason they're lambasted by everyone is 'cause they're really hyped. Imagine if nobody knew about them but you,wouldn't you rave about them??? it's typical that just 'cos everyone knows who they are people will turn around and say they're ****. they are not ****. so there!!!!

    So if you like the strokes that makes you a sheep huh? Suggesting people only like them to follow the crowd.... come on credit us with a bit of intelligence please. Whatever happened to freedom of opinion eh? Oh and I was never a boy band fan.... i just happen to fancy the ass off julian casablancas but believe me if I didnt love the music i wouldnt be into them...sometimes though its nice to have some eye candy.;) There has been sh*t loads of hype but if they couldnt deliver the goods musically no amount of hype could make them as popular as they are. (by the way how cool are the new smilies...:ogre: :ninja: :rambo: hee hee)

    You are so right there, why when a band that has received so much attention are actually good do people feel the need to b1tch anyway?? The Strokes never asked for any of the hysterical hype NME etc. gave them.
    I also count myself a huge fan of David Bowie, REM and U2 so not much sex appeal there! Yes, the Strokes are nice to look at but at the end of the day it's their music fans love. In the 'Last Nite' video the guys went out of their way to look like scruffy scumbags, the fact that they still oozed sex is a pleasant bonus, alrite?? :lick: :cheeky:

    Wait is it when bands get famous that they get sh!t or just when they are hyped?

    Damn I hope Incubus don't get hyped/famous I'd hate to have to dislike them too!

    Could you supply me with a list of "cool" and "SO Alternative" bands that we have the all clear to like Snoop?

    Cheers!

    Baaaaaa! Baaa! Baaaaaaa!
    Bleet Bleet, Baaaaaaa etc. etc.

    why can't we all just get along????



    why slate someone coz they like a popular band?? eh??
    that sux!!!
    fair enuf, they might be 'wack' in your opinion but since when did one persons opinion count for another persons??

    i don't like the strokes/it doesn't mean i go and slate my friends that do.../they all love the strokes and they went to see them and loved it and i'm happy for them...

    anyway you get the point....

    oh, and btw, leave the sheepsses out of it... they just followin the leader...

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

    I could be wrong but it seems to me that it is only guys?/ickle boys that are slating The Stokes!
    I could be wrong so dont kill me...... but is there some form of jealous slagging going on?

    Im not quite sure if i like The Strokes or not cause i havent heard the album but i do admit that some of them are quite cute.

    so im not just liking them cause they are cute now am i?

    and David Bowie does have a kind of sexual quality about him (and this is more strange) but esp. in the film Labyrinth!

    :confused:

    so what if he hates the Strokes? Loads of people do (not me though)

    And The Ramones looked like that before the Strokes were born.

    Converse sneakers kick ass alrite? The Ramones proves it decades ago, now the Strokes are single-handedly saving the company!! Did anyone else hear that Converse is going bankrupt?? I've been having panic attacks daily about it!!:eek:

    whats the story with the fight they got into with one of the record company executives?

    It wasn't a record company exec. Apparently, the band were on the beer in Paris, as ya do. Julian had an interview with some TV channel, so one of his "aides" went over, asked him to leave the pub, and go along and do the interview. Julian, being the nice young chap that he is, did exactly that, assuming that the interview was with some big flash TV channel. However, when he found out that it was with some crappy half-ass cable TV channel, he lost the rag and head-butted his "aide". They then kissed, made-up, whatever.
    I read the above in the Sun, therefore it is most possible bullsh*t!!
