The Strokes - Is This It (Live) 

The bassline has saved more lives than doctors :D

the base in this song gets me emotional

the bass in this song is insane

i remember one day at school i had my earbuds in all damn day listening to the whole is this it album, the whole day i was just in the chillest mood ever, it was great.

This is a great example of what can happen when bass is prominently featured. Bassline turned a good song into a great song. Everything joy division/new order did would be nothing interesting instrumentally without Peter Hook. Free the bass!

"Can't you see i'm trying? " So fucking true...

The quality of the vides seems like the 70's

you can tell julian is super happy on this one

strokes play so deep in the pocket. under rated masters and runners of the dead art-rock scene

I swear the base player nails it every time!

When the bassline kicks in, the guitarists totally started vibing!

1:20 connection between nick and albert

2001 memories, wow. I was so young back then, met my kids mom and she loved this whole album. Did not work out in the end but always have those memories.

this is it chief

favorite strokes song ever.

How crazy is it that this is 18 years old!?

you can see the happiness through Julian's face.

thought provoking lyrics..one of my fav bands of all time...one day hope to see them..:)

Favorite strokes song

Back to my early teens. Defining

I remember when I first got this CD, It took me hours to get past this song. I guess I had an infatuation with it. ah the strokes, what have you done? I used to anticipate when the bass kicked in, or a guitar solo, or when the drums changed. Still waiting for another epic album.

i’m so sorry it took me so long to listen to this album.

is this............. it

the coolest thing i've ever seen in my fucking life

Lyrics Can't you see I'm trying? I don't even like it I just lied to get to your apartment Now I'm staying there just for a while I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Said they'd give you anything you ever wanted When they lied, I knew it was just stable Children trying hard not to realize I was sitting right behind you Dear, can't you see? It's them it's not me We're not enemies, we just disagree If I was like him, all dissing his pa He changes his mind, says I went too far We all disagree, I think we should disagree, yeah Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Can't you see I'm trying? I don't even like it I just lied to get to your apartment Now I'm staying there just for a while I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired

love dah strokes....i had the same hair as julian in the 80 s

THE BASS LINE IS INSANE BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jullian makes everything better!i have been listening to is songs and feeling better about myself!his songs are super employable

he is so wonderful

Still here 2018

This song reminds me of lonely afternoon school days spent at home.

That chorus is fucking perfect.

Esa canción tiene magia.. Es una canción q jamás te cansas de escuchar

I'm so in love with this song!

God, this is just... perfect.

llevo del 2015 escuchando esta version en vivo de is this it... y no paro de escucharla hoy en dia, simplemente la mejor version ❤

Mtv needs to make his whole performance available on RU-vid or for download. Shits legendary

I love how this video has no dislikes.This is how every Strokes video should be. lol

1:23. The most epic shot ever.

Can't you see I'm trying? I don't even like it I just lied to get to your apartment Now I'm staying there just for a while I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Said they'd give you anything you ever wanted When they lied I knew it was just Stable children trying hard not to realize I was sitting right behind her Oh dear, can't you see? It's them it's not me We're not enemies We just disagree If I was like him All pissed in this bar He changes his mind Says I went too far We all disagree I think we should disagree, yeah Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Can't you see I'm trying? I don't even like it I just lied to get to your apartment Now I'm staying here just for a while I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired

replays in my mind every time

this is some good stuff, thanks lud

The godfather’s of the lofi sound.

Love the bass part!

Fantastic song. Viva La strokes

Beautiful Julian

So sad but so fuckin amazing!

I left a comment in 2013 but I can't find it now, well here is my new comment 2019

how much does the start when the guitar comes in sound like pixies where is my mind lol

Still listening to this in 2013! damn its a more than a decade!!

I'd venture to guess that most people won't get the genious of this song by the first listen

Close your eyes and listen to the voice: Young Lou Reed.

this is it

A friend on the happiest day and the saddest

My exam is in half an hour..What on earth am I doing here??

i just lied to get to your apartment

"And we jus kinda do what we are told..." I doubt that, Julian.

Reminds me of my 20's

Bass❤️

Los veeré mañana

Nikolai such as underrated bass player

There was no one cooler in those days honestly. In my small world anyways.

god I just wanna...I just wanna...fuck man, this is great.

Can't you see I'm trying? I don't even like it I just lied to Get to your apartment Now I'm staying There just for a while I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired Is this it? Is this it?

This should be the official video.

IS THIS ITTTTTT

yeah

That bass

I found a reason- Velvet Underground

Who hasnt been there done that

@drinkcoffe And in 30 years he'll be just as legendary.

I love the whole band always have but Julian Casablancas voice always stood out, like a mix of Jim Morrison and Lou Reed

@p4cm4n182 it is pretty skinny but the white light behind kinda exacerbates it, its a bit of an illusion

da serie: baselines que me fazem sorrir

@Brunodepehua cause this song is fucking amazing

70's ...
