Great Rolling Stones UK review! THE STROKES LIVE IN MANCHESTER: A BAND SOUNDING MORE VITAL THAN EVER

Thumbnail

“The indie veterans are very much up for the fight as they deliver a deeply emotional career-spanning set during their first visit to the city in two decades.

Having drawn criticism online after their set was brought to an abrupt end the night prior in Newcastle, the band address the elephant in the room with a knowing wink as bassist Nikolai Fraiture introduces ‘deep cut’ ‘Last Nite’. “What the fuck is up, Manchester! This is the biggest show we’ve played on this tour, do you want an encore? This is our last song, wink wink and you might know it.”

It’s been anything but an easy ride to the top for The Strokes, and it’s understandable that the earned crown of being one of the world’s coolest bands has weighed heavy at times throughout their career, but tonight, there’s a hunger and defiance that suggests everything has clicked again. After all these years, they’re sounding more vital and more needed than ever before.”

The Adults Are Talking (Live At Lollapalooza Chile 2022) improvised Jam hints at Tyrants of The Mellow Moon (Check 5:30 in this video)

Just another detail I noticed idk if anyone else hears it. Julian even says "and I go to another song because I [fall?] For a second time" using the same vocal melody.

To me this makes Tyrants seem like an Adults offshoot, which would be thematically fucked

“The minimum soft”

32 Upvotes

At the end of dine and dash. Julian in some sort of sarcastic character voice says…” I Think that’s the minimum soft, and you can go harder if you want- but that’s the minimum soft.” It sounds like some sort of nonsense a certain producer would say. Is this a light hearted ‘diss of Rick Rubin??

Something no one has mentioned (Maybe)

In “Reality Awaits” Julian has immortalized his conflict with Anthony Fantano with the song “Lonely in the future” which I’m sure everyone knows by now. There’s no doubt the lyric was inspired by Fantanos negative review of the Voidz LABY. However, given it was a negative review about a Voidz album did Julian plan to respond with a diss on a Voidz song initially but then switched to the strokes since this new album was highly desired for years and the strokes are more popular than the Voidz. Either way I guess there won’t be a part 2 of Fantano interviewing Julian in his dungeon with the dim lighting and awkward camera angle.

Greetings disciples of Julian,

I recently created a music page on Instagram where I share recommendations from different artists I am listening to, my objective is to make the space feel less intimidating where casuals aren't gatekept through deep cuts but rather shown songs adjacent to what they already know.

I made a reel on the Strokes and have added the video and Instagram link here, I am sure everyone on here has heard all the songs I have listed numerous times but the percentages are relative to the general population since you're already in the 1% of Strokes fans.

Hope it resonates

Hello!!

I was lucky enough to attend The Strokes concert in Paris (my second time seeing them, the first was at Lollapalooza 2019). The setlist was incredible, I think I sang along to all 22 tracks from start to finish! I’ve never seen a band create such an intense atmosphere I’ve been to great shows by Coldplay, The Killers, Green Day, and Keane, but this was something else

I have two remarks though, maybe someone here has the answers or noticed the same ? ^^'

What’s the deal with the stage production? You couldn’t see a thing! Julian Casablancas was wearing a black coat and black sunglasses, and there was practically no lighting on the band

I had a good spot, but I still couldn’t see anything! xD Honestly, they could have sent out lookalikes, and no one would have known the difference

Also, regarding ticket availability: why didn’t they choose larger venues or perhaps add more dates? (20,000 seats is actually quite small!)

I had to buy my tickets on the resale market because I couldn’t get any during the presale or the general sale ... everything sold out in less than 5 minutes

By the way, it was great to see so many young people there! It’s also nice to see that they seem to be touring more often than they used to !

Reality Awaits is an autumn/winter album (not a summer one)

34 Upvotes

This isn't really anything profound but I think I've grown to appreciate RA in a colder more autumnal setting more than in summer, it just fits more and I think it's not an album that benefited from been released in summer, it fits way more with darker months. Anyway that's it :)
