video for: 12:51 - the strokes

[CityandColour]

Man.. I tell ya, this video is bad ass.

[Sweet One]

it definitely looks cool.

[Gas_Man]

does bad ass mean good, or bad?

[el_scorcho]

:lol: I was wondering the same thing. But knowing Brian and his extreme like for The Strokes, I'm assuming it means "good".

[Gas_Man]

ah. :D Just when i was beginning to think i knew all the 'Cool' Terms :P
i remember shit, meaning bad. but then it meaning really great. and then bad, meaning bad, and then meaning good, which sounds wrong, but i've heard people say it :/ ... So..i've heard of Bad Shit..meaning something is really bad...and thought bad ass, might have meant the same...yet it means good :snore:
:blush: but i'm only 19, surely i should KNOW these thing..fair enough if i was 35 or something :dozey: :D

[Sweet One]

bad ass i think means super ass cool. :lol:

[Gas_Man]

^*noted* ;) thanks

[Sweet One]

haha..you're welcome. :)

[bluwaterbaboon]

'bad ass means that if it were a person it would look like mr. t and would be able to kick your ass

[*Justine*]

This isn't news.

[mycdplayerisbroke]

haha i know
why did we make a whole thread on this?
it isnt even that good

[badlydrawngirl]

it's pretty cool i think

[Valleyboy]

you know, I'm not a huge fan of the 12.51 video.

I'd rather see a thread about the reptilia video.
now THAT is a great video.

[CityandColour]

I've only actually seen live recording of Reptilia on Conan O'Brien.. Still pretty good.

[badlydrawngirl]

ah you know a great vid? tonight tonight by the smashing pumpkins! :) :cool:

[CityandColour]

Meh.. :/

[badlydrawngirl]

well i think its good anyway :dozey:

[Reilly]

How the hell can 12:51 be good and Tonight Tonight be meh?

Its all mixed up.

But the 12:51 video is pretty good, too bad the song/album/band/genre have to suck so much. Reptilia's the most average video ever made, they got like one good shot in that whole thing (The guy with the perm turning around and looking up, during the quiet part- "Everytime, I look at myself...") and the rest is just, alright.

Tonight Tonight is a wild video with a wild song, Pumpkins are awesome.

[Knight Of Cydonia]

I dont like the 12:51 vid and i didnt like the song till i got the album..but yup,its all good now :cool:

[mycdplayerisbroke]

fuck the smashing pumpkins
fuckign skin heads
and fuck you too bananafag

[CityandColour]

Hahaha

Haha that made me laugh :lol:

I haven't seen the video for 12:51, but I love the single :cool:

[*Justine*]

12:51 is a mediocre video.

This video is old, why are we talking about it anyway?

[badlydrawngirl]

ah yes, someone said it! i think the strokes are over-rated :dozey:

[CityandColour]

Because I downloaded it the other day. :rolleyes:

[mycdplayerisbroke]

they just got too much plublicity when they were starting out
"saviors of rock"

[badlydrawngirl]

they're good, but they're hardly saviours of rock, they have the most unadventurous guitar riffs imo

[CityandColour]

God.. They have the most awesome guitar riffs, if you ask me. I haven't heard anything like them before. But I wouldn't call them Saviours of Rock.

[Kettercat]

Yay for the Strokes :D











































How random :P :lol:

[CityandColour]

:wink3:

neither would i

[mycdplayerisbroke]

they're good, but they're hardly saviours of rock, they have the most unadventurous guitar riffs imo

haha
and coldplay or radiohead's are better?
hmm....

[CityandColour]

Not.

[mycdplayerisbroke]

i know

[CityandColour]

:cool:

i didn't say they were, because i don't think so either :cool:

[mycdplayerisbroke]

i didn't say they were, because i don't think so either

there's like barely any guitar in alot of cp songs

[badlydrawngirl]

yeah i know, i miss the old coldplay :confused:

[CityandColour]

Meh... Even though I like both albums, I like the more mellow/acoustic Coldplay, like Parachutes, better.

[badlydrawngirl]

me too, parachutes is a way better album, and i stand by that claim


*sings 12:51* :cool:

[mycdplayerisbroke]

yeah i like parachutes
but the SONG arobtth is really good
my fav maybe

[Reilly]

Radiohead dont really do "Riffs", but guitar-wise, they are far more adventurous.

[CityandColour]

I'm sure they are. :rolleyes:

[badlydrawngirl]

they're more adventurous than coldplay, even on their earlier stuff, listen to the stuff on The Bends. 'Just' for instance, great guitar work :cool:

[Reilly]

Even on Pablo Honey, there was some interesting guitar work, Blow Out, subtle jazz bars, a one note bend for the chorus of Prove Yourself, and Creep...

Your so fucking special, I wish I was special *CHING-INK..... *Harmonic* CHING-INK* But Im a CreepBREOOOOWWWWWDundun dun dun, dun du dun dun

[kalter zug]

:stunned:

i don't have pablo honey :cry:

[Reilly]

Its quite worth a buy.

Its surely more adventurous then 2 chop strummed chords in every song.

[CityandColour]

:rolleyes:

[mycdplayerisbroke]

obviously radiohead is more adventerous you fucking git

[CityandColour]

You know, just because songs sound a little alike and aren't relatively hard, doesn't mean their terrible (unless it's punk rock). Look at Bob Dylan.. Same 2 chords in every song, and he's not terrible.

[Valleyboy]

you know...
franz ferdinand is better than radiohead and bob dylan
:stunned:

[CityandColour]

I'll pass on all three of them though.

[Valleyboy]

Brian, seriously, start listening to franz ferdinand.
They kind of sound like the strokes. :cool:

[CityandColour]

I'll take a polite pass. :P

[Kettercat]

FRANZ FERDINAND ARE BRILLIANT! :smug:

[badlydrawngirl]

you know...
franz ferdinand is better than radiohead and bob dylan
:stunned:


i believe not, you can't put them all the same category! bob dylan??? :stunned:

[Reilly]

Im seeing Bob Dylan in about a week, and he kicks Radioheads ass, and dont even start on Franz. The guy is a genius, his guitar work is secondary to his vocals (He makes up his vocals and then just puts some chords to it, which is ingenius- I cant imagine doing it) and the rest of his band have made some interesting parts on top of it.

Franz Ferdinand are ok, kinda, not worthy of anyones time-ish though.

[mycdplayerisbroke]

dont bother with bob dylan
he's so fucked up from drugs
my friends saw him a while ago and were dissappointed

[Reilly]

Well the last time I saw him was like, 3, 4 months ago? And he was brilliant.

I wouldnt say hes on drugs, he definately was on drugs, about 4 decades ago, but now, he sometimes gets really into a performance, sometimes too much. I've seen clips of him babbling on for a 45 minute un-released cover of a Kate Bush B-side, just making up new lyrics on the spot. It was brilliant for the first 15, and then it really dragged. He looked like he didnt know where he was.

But if he wants to, the guy can really explode a commercial audience.

[mycdplayerisbroke]

well my friends saw him at a carnival a year ago
maybe he was just drunk off his ass

[badlydrawngirl]

yeah probably
