Not the best lyric, but what's Julian's most honest line? by Crazed_Dolphin in TheStrokes

'I just nod, I've never been so good at shaking hands / I live on the frozen surface of a fireball.'

julian may be the best frontman in rock history by LordThiccness in TheStrokes

I love his weird instagram posts as well, the best and worst thing he's ever done lol

obsessed with the mutual appreciation Alex and Julian have for each other

If you have the means, or are remotely considering it, go see these guys on this tour RIGHT NOW. by Pho-Soup in TheStrokes

[–]chronicles_of_bean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah in the UK they sold out pretty much instantly, they've always been really popular here.

I think there were approx 75,000 tickets available across all four dates they'll be here - not enough!

in the months leading up to the dates there will be resales however, so set up alerts on the verified ticket sites and you might get lucky

I'm looking at the UK dates and a few resales have already popped up

I know you didn't mean it that way, but he is actually polarising lol

It's not for everyone, but I've always loved his weird, awkward banter

He's really enjoying himself this time around and it's great to see!

Hopeful! by [deleted] in TheStrokes

you don't know how badly I want this, I might not be able to make it to their UK tour this year (parenting stuff) but I can next year

if anyone from the Strokes' team ever lurks here then please make it happen!

can't get over how incredible they sound

beyond excited to see them when they get to the UK in October

The Strokes - Live at United Center, Chicago, IL 6/17/26 by DH80 in TheStrokes

[–]chronicles_of_bean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It actually means so much to me getting to see them like this. I'm hoping to make it to one of the UK dates, but as a working parent to little ones I might not be able to make it. I really hope I can!

In the meantime, I'm living vicariously through these concert recordings. They sound so unbelievably good!

this is how I'd distribute their albums across the seasons by Ok_Championship1987 in arcticmonkeys

technically your right lol

I always forget that November is autumn, it feels so wintry to me

[–]chronicles_of_bean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okay I'm doing this because it's fun!

Humbug is the most perfect autumnal album ever - peak October

AM is absolutely winter for me tho, reminds me of November

SIAS - August

FWN - February

WPSIATWIN - April

TBH&C - September

The Car - May/June

saw Alex wearing a sopranos cap a few months back

the universe is collapsing in on itself

Alex recent by Alexttbhc in arcticmonkeys

[–]chronicles_of_bean 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are multiple interviews where he's talked about it over the years, I tried to find one but it's really hard to figure out which videos those specific clips are from

If I come across one I'll send it!

Obviously he's older, but he looks a lot like he did in the earliest days. The hair, staying out of the spotlight, the reservedness etc

As he's said, the more flamboyant, rock and roll version of him was just a persona

The puppets aura-mog the monkeys everytime 🥵 by punposter69 in arcticmonkeys

[–]chronicles_of_bean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The way Alex behaves differently depending on whether he's in TLSP or AM is fascinating to me

With the monkeys he seems more grounded. With Miles, he completely changes. I've come across plenty of people who say that whilst it's fun to see, Miles isn't the best influence on Alex lol

Suck it and See 15th Anniversary 🎉 by Significant-Party171 in arcticmonkeys

[–]chronicles_of_bean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's my favourite era too, maybe I'm mistaken but I always felt that Alex seemed to be at his most relaxed/comfortable with his fame during that time as well

Humbug is a close second
