That song is one of my favs.
I can't say it's better but I also really like this one off Comedown Machine, mostly after the first 50 seconds.

Out here, everything hurts


I saw The Strokes maybe 15 years ago and during Hard to Explain Julian sounded like he was possessed by a demon the whole time he was singing the screamy parts instead of using the fuzz effect and he ended up destroying every instrument on stage, attempted to set everything on fire (and mostly succeeded) and told the crowd to get the gently caress out

Most of the crowd was thinking "uhh, maybe we should go before this gets bad".

The show did not continue due to lack of instruments.

Reminds me that the worst money you could possibly spend on concert tickets was Cake around the year 2000.

All you had to do if you wanted to ruin the concert for however many thousands of people was to heckle Cake with some basic rear end poo poo. Just yelling "YOU SUCK" would make them pack up their stuff and cancel the show like huge pissbabies. They would NOT PERFORM if they got heckled.

Cake loving sucks. The Strokes ruled.

Cake got better. Saw them and Ben Folds at a NYE show in 2006 (maybe 2007?) and it owned. Couple next to us kept shouting LONG JACKET and they just ignored it.

P.S. don't loving shout songs at performers ya dweebs.

Yeah, God, this. gently caress I'd forgotten how irrationally angry this makes me, how can you be that stupid and arrogant and socially inept and entitled? How is anyone this much of a loving twat? I hate these people so SO much. SPOILER ALERT: they're gonna play that one song everyone wants, and it had NOTHING to do with you yelling it all gig, have you never been to ANY concert for ANYTHING before, how do you not know how this works you gently caress BRAINED cumshittle. House lights not come up? Guess what, that means they're doing an encore 100% of the time. Don't go to leave struggling through the motionless crowd, and then turn around agape that they've returned, you loving oval office. Because guess what? You're obviously standing directly in front of someone now you endless quest for shitness. loving hell, SHUT UP.
