I was at the Strokes concert he's talking about (Nashville River Stages in 2004) - has to be one of the drunkest performances I've ever seen. But still good! The stage was a barge anchored on the river downtown, and at one point during the set he and one of the other guys went to the back of the barge to relieve themselves. At another point he asked if anybody had a lighter and got pelted with them by the crowd.
agreed! It annoys me when bands completely disregard what we love about the source material altogether. I was hoping they'd include that fade-in for the main riff and they did. they get it
@@AndrewsArchives yeah most people just "dumb down" or simplify a song cause they don't want to deal with a certain level of difficulty. Find the top covers on youtube for 5 of your favorite songs and i'll bet 4 out of 5 will be slowed down so much it's barely recognizable.
Thank you for reposting this. I adore this cover so much. I watched the AV Club video SO many times years ago, and was heartbroken a few years back when I looked for it and it was gone. I feel like I have to be at least 1000 of the views here hahaha (okay, slight exaggeration). I'll forget about the video for a bit, and then I remember it and come back to watch it and it just fills me with such joy. I love it so much.
Wow these guys are so good , they are one to themselves, nobody has there original sound , they deserved the Edwin r murrow genius award, good for them
thank you SO much for posting all of these, they have never explained why they took down these videos and this has been my favorite covers ever to watch. seriously, I really appreciate it :)
Wow, first time hearing this and also discovering that Chris Thile plays mando/sings for them lol. My parents are huge Nickel Creek fans and that voice is absolutely unmistakable
