Yeah, I never did like the Strokes.
However, I do have an entertaining story involving the Strokes to share:
At the Big Day Out festival in Auckland (NZ) this year, the Strokes were unfortunate enough to be the band playing right before Metallica. So naturally the crowd was mostly full of rough, leather-clad, skinheaded chaps who couldnt give a sideways toss about the strokes or their music.
Halfway thru the set, in between songs one avid metallica fan yells out "You suck! Fuck off and bring on metallica!" and the singer from the band (quite stoned i think) just looks at him and says "well... well fuck you, you... meathead faggot."
And I swear everyone in the stadium laughed at this poor guy. You got owned in front of everyone by the dude from the strokes. How do you feel.
On a side note, the Mars Volta were at the same festival, and blew my mind right out the back of my head and on to the poor bastard behind me. Awesome.
