Hate the Strokes

because they’re good: “The Strokes opened up for my band, blew us away, and all I got was this lousy lifetime supply of sour grapes.” (via remainder)

    I really feel sorry for you. The managers of major bands always choose support acts very carefully (e.g. rubbish ones) just so this doesn’t happen.

    Just to clarify, it was not I who had the strokes open for me – as you can see that part is in quotes, taken from the web site I link to – nor do I hate the strokes, far from it.

    So continue your search for strokes-haters, gentle google users! Nothing to see here!

    That’s too bad, dude. But look at it this way: at least you were upstaged by a good band.

    Besides, it’s no reason to give up on your music. Keep your chin up!

    I love Jet, I think it is about time rock went back to the 70’s time of rock. Like AC/DC and The Who. I am the biggest fan of Jet because I was getting tired of Stain and otehr stuff like that who think they are rock.

    i think that jet and the strokes rock…happy

    ok. the strokes r a very good band. in fact they r my favorite present day band. their music is glorious. but dont get all pissy about what albert said about jet. thats his opinion. and actually i think the jet cd sucks. except for like 2 songs. alberts right. and bands can hate eachother. its natural.

    Jet and The Strokes rule!!!

  14. jules says:

    so…nothing ever really changes that much when it comes to music…or, so it would seem…thank you boys!!!

  15. helena says:

    why can’t you just love the strokes AND jet? i mean, just because the strokes happen to not appreciate jet’s music doesn’t mean you have to choose either band. julian is free to have an opinion, right?

  16. blahblahblah says:

    jet suck, plain & simple big stupid no imagination rip-off rock.
    they make me want to die

    Strokes are easily my favorite band of present day, prolly ever. They were new , they still sound incredible and they’re the coolest, looking, sounding band ive ever seen, or atleast in the past 30 years. As for jet, i loved that one song.. the be my girl one, bought their cd, liked it, but it never grew on me so i kinda see where albert was coming from, they sound old and straight forward which is cool but it sounds done, so i prefer the strokes easily..cause theyre awsome…alot

  18. gmac says:

    o as for the first comment about opening bands, when i saw the strokes, the walkmen were opening. it was incredible cause im a walkmen fan and both bands were equally awsome. well..i guess the strokes were better but thats even a tough call cause the walkmen were so good, so i guess they try to get the rubbish bands, but as far as im concerned i just got an awsome 2 for 1

    The strokes rule. They are my favourite band. Anyone who disagrees can fuck themselves three times over.
