they wrote and recorded 11 songs for angles with one producer, they didnt like them so they either forgot about them completely or changed them up, this might have been one of the songs they changed. only song on angles they kept from the first recording session was "life is simple..."
Love how there demos are put out there. So much talent just waiting for it's turn to shine. Would have loved to been there when they were barely starting. Love the Strokes
Games' melody was taken from this, i don't remember where I heard it but Julian was saying that they had the ending/melody from Games already written for about 10+ years, but it never fit into a song that they have made before and when they wrote Games, he knew it fit then.
I have the strongest feeling that all of these GREAT unreleased Strokes songs will be released on some compilation of unknowns like 20 years after the band ends, which I hope isn't anytime soon cause I fucking love The Strokes, but who agrees?
this definitely is the strokes, 100% jules voice, fab's drumming, typical albert rhythm and that is definitely a nick valensi solo it doesn't have a name because it's just a random recording of a song idea, it is available in low quality mp3 around the internet, you've just to search for "the strokes unknown" theres a couple other unknown songs too, but this is the best one
The Strokes - Unknown Song 1 lyrics I was living in a yellow room And the goldfish eyes and clear the room And in your life I hope that it's the knife That cuts life angels, and their wings drop And can I be next to you? And I'll be right in the next room Tell, can I be brave? Shit, I dunno Cause I gotta mess up these words But that's okay, because, because The only thing is around Cause it's good to be, good to be And I move over And I let go Giving down to He's something, oh! He said "I'll be around but, it's dangerous!" He said, "It's all I ate on this day or two" Ohhhh... Babababababa, Babababababa, Babababababa... I was stuck inside your prison heart And your emplish tongues and slice it off He cleared my room and then he ran away On top of this, ------------------------ And can I go next to you? And I'll beat her up some more And I'm not going that way! He said, "Whoooahoooahhhh!" Oh my god, what the fuck was that? I can't believe that just happened Yes, I just, it's alright where it is Cause he's always there on ------- It'll all be over It's on your way The time is over It's dangerous He said, "Better he than me to five time us" He said " And I'll be the one" Ohhhhh, ba ba, Babababababa, Babababababa, Babababababa, Babababababa...
o and another thing The Strokes did not break up, the guys are still together and on great terms just taking some time to spend it with their families and enjoy the fruit of their labor
@Hyohakushaa julian has the most amazing voice i've ever heard!!! nobody's perfect a fuck up like that doesn't mean that he can't sing! and they don't just cut it out so it looks like he can sing because he sounds just as amazing live as on the albums!
I read somewhere that Games originated from a song they wrote around this time called E minor madness. This sounds so similar to Games, I'm willing to bet that this song is E minor madness
And can I be next to you? And I'll be right in the next room Tell, can I be brave?

holy shit listen to track 6 off their new album they used this riff..but left out the ba ba ba ba ba ba....which makes it awesome!..damn shud have thrown them vocals onto it
I d know, it sounds like julian pre "is this it" the beggining really does sound like the strokes,when it dosent he could just be really wasted. watch the arlene grocery gig and you'll see it does sound like jules before
This sounds like an old song that they ditched for a while but when they made angles (an album) they used this song to make games (song from angles). This just doesn't sound like a song from modern times...
They use the riff from the minute 1:13 11 years later in Games of Angles. Damn...
***** many songs are finished many years ago, they were recorded later new
Lucas S Are u a beaver cuz DAYUM
Holy shit man! You're so right.
they wrote and recorded 11 songs for angles with one producer, they didnt like them so they either forgot about them completely or changed them up, this might have been one of the songs they changed. only song on angles they kept from the first recording session was "life is simple..."
@@_KingOfCalifornia This is from 2000.
I just came here for " WOOOAHAHHHHH OMG WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT "
Julian singing here is major chaotic energy
lmao
i love the "whooooa OMG WTF was that? i cant believe i did that" it made my day!
Love how there demos are put out there. So much talent just waiting for it's turn to shine. Would have loved to been there when they were barely starting. Love the Strokes
That's amazing they revisited a riff from 11 years ago.
"shit I don't know" gotta love JC
The music is actually tight af
yea they shoukdve released it
2:10
I like the part he says: OMG WTF WAS THAT
:)
This is fucking perfection guys why is nobody crying
Games' melody was taken from this, i don't remember where I heard it but Julian was saying that they had the ending/melody from Games already written for about 10+ years, but it never fit into a song that they have made before and when they wrote Games, he knew it fit then.
"shit i don't know" xD, "ohhhhooohoo wwwhat the fuck was that?!" xD ... JULIAN IS THE BEST xD
i absolutely adore julian's ad-libbing throughout this recording.
2:09 - 2:18 literally i'm about to piss my pants from laughing so hard..THIS is why we all loveee julian:D
0:00 - 3:20 Incredible
I have the strongest feeling that all of these GREAT unreleased Strokes songs will be released on some compilation of unknowns like 20 years after the band ends, which I hope isn't anytime soon cause I fucking love The Strokes, but who agrees?
8 more years…
this definitely is the strokes, 100%
jules voice, fab's drumming, typical albert rhythm and that is definitely a nick valensi solo
it doesn't have a name because it's just a random recording of a song idea, it is available in low quality mp3 around the internet, you've just to search for "the strokes unknown"
theres a couple other unknown songs too, but this is the best one
1:13 to 1:22 , part from the song of the last album, "games"
2:10 "OMG! wtf was that?" jjajja
I was almost wondering if this really was the strokes until
the little bit from games came up
The Strokes - Unknown Song 1 lyrics
I was living in a yellow room
And the goldfish eyes and clear the room
And in your life I hope that it's the knife
That cuts life angels, and their wings drop
And can I be next to you?
And I'll be right in the next room
Tell, can I be brave?
Shit, I dunno
Cause I gotta mess up these words
But that's okay, because, because
The only thing is around
Cause it's good to be, good to be
And I move over
And I let go
Giving down to
He's something, oh!
He said "I'll be around but, it's dangerous!"
He said, "It's all I ate on this day or two"
Ohhhh...
Babababababa,
Babababababa,
Babababababa...
I was stuck inside your prison heart
And your emplish tongues and slice it off
He cleared my room and then he ran away
On top of this, ------------------------
And can I go next to you?
And I'll beat her up some more
And I'm not going that way!
He said, "Whoooahoooahhhh!"
Oh my god, what the fuck was that?
I can't believe that just happened
Yes, I just, it's alright where it is
Cause he's always there on -------
It'll all be over
It's on your way
The time is over
It's dangerous
He said, "Better he than me to five time us"
He said " And I'll be the one"
Ohhhhh, ba ba,
Babababababa,
Babababababa,
Babababababa,
Babababababa...
"woooaah" oh wtf was that?! i cant believe i did that!
aww that was cute, jules
This is my every day inspiration still
i wish this was a real song, tho i like it this way too
this rocks! is it me or r all unknown songs kick ass?! I thought the one from the White Stripes was good but this rocks
I think i might be in love with Julian Casablancas
this song just brightens up my day
"omg wtf was that" hahahhaha
i love them :)
its amazing how a lot of people realize that this was on GAMES (new angles song) the strokes has a lot of great fans
Games
papapapapapaaaaaaaaa, el solo de nick al final es genial
Esto es tan hermoso :''v
o and another thing The Strokes did not break up, the guys are still together and on great terms just taking some time to spend it with their families and enjoy the fruit of their labor
@Hyohakushaa julian has the most amazing voice i've ever heard!!! nobody's perfect a fuck up like that doesn't mean that he can't sing! and they don't just cut it out so it looks like he can sing because he sounds just as amazing live as on the albums!
almost forgot to listen to this today
LOL WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT! JAJAJAJA
@imnotlarry Holy shit!!! Finally! When I first heard Games, it was so familiar to me. I almost went crazy trying to remember what it was from.
Yeah, the chorus here is the same as in the outro of Games
The outro solo to Sagganuts is also the guitar break in Automatic Stop
2:12 JAJAJA ♥
I ll Always Be There
omg they have so many rare/unreleased songs does anyone have like a list of them all? i don't want to miss out on any!
this is julian for sure..his voice sounds like that live..
are you kidding me? this is 100% the strokes!! thats definitely julians voice
what if we give this song a title, ill say Yellow Room
@babinonsense I recognized it right away! :) I nearly fell off of my seat!
wow this song is awesome! GO STROKES!
i came here as soon as i heard Games xD
Sometimes it doesn't sound like him at all its so funny!
it was on their old website... it is them shh
Games!!
This song sounds like the track of a Horror movie
Dude! They recycled the riff from this song and put it in "Games" off their new album!
TOTALLY! everyone who doesn't recognize his voice doesn't know the strokes at all!
I read somewhere that Games originated from a song they wrote around this time called E minor madness. This sounds so similar to Games, I'm willing to bet that this song is E minor madness
@babinonsense Jules did say they've kept the ending of Games for nearly 10 years, in an NME interview.
And can I be next to you?
And I'll be right in the next room
Tell, can I be brave?
Shit, I dunno
Cause I gotta mess up these words
But that's okay, because, because
The only thing is around
Cause it's good to be, good to be
And I move over
And I let go
Giving down to
He's something, oh!
He said 'I'll be around but, it's dangerous!'
He said, 'It's all I ate on this day or two'
I remember tabbing this song years ago....
u have them?
@@DeadWillmore did they disappear off of Ultimate guitar? should still be there ill check
holy shit listen to track 6 off their new album they used this riff..but left out the ba ba ba ba ba ba....which makes it awesome!..damn shud have thrown them vocals onto it
OH MY GOD I FOUND IT.
I think its him, the attitude is right.
she "i dont no"
i say 'YES FUCK YEAH, THE STROKES IS AWESOME
Listen to the song Games on the new album at about 2:30 and listen to this song at about 1:13 ... O_o
this is my ringtone! :D
Thumbs up if you had already listened this song before Angles was released
i watch it just for that part tbh
Wow, can believe this didnt go Platinum...
julian makes up the funniest lyrics!!!its not amazing but its pretty cool
thats jules for sure...Ive had this concert for a while. Its a fucking classic. Elephant song from this show is cool.
I can't stop laughing at 2:10. No matter how many times I watch this XD
This is so awesome and funny.
What the fuuuck??! JAJAAJJAAJAJAJJAJA
"Im gonna mess up these words but thats ok because because ...."
I d know, it sounds like julian pre "is this it"
the beggining really does sound like the strokes,when it dosent he could just be really wasted.
watch the arlene grocery gig and you'll see it does sound like jules before
This is so good though
This almost sounds like someone doing a really convincing Julian impression lol
That intro totally sounds just like the intro to Silver Rocket by Sonic Youth
this could be an awsome song with some work
i think its his voice that makes it possible to be the strokes. because that sounds like julian:P
💖💖💖💖💖💖
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk omg wtf was that? i cant believe i did that
im not slagging em , i love the strokes more thant any of youlot put together, plus what do people from LA know about music
I agree with you, guy at 3:17
let the games begin _|m|
diz shit iz fuckin DOPE and FUNNY HAHAHA!!!
I hope the strokes don't mind, but i took the melody and wrote lyrics that actually made since. it's called "It's dangerous"
Jack-lynn Casablancas let me hear it
@kevinisblack1 YEAA! the first time i heard games i immediately thought of this...so sneakily genius of them to do that:)
It's funny when he started singing with a British accent. Oh Julian.
YOU COULD SO TELL ITS JULES!
hes probably drunk or sick. or maybe its just the microphone. but its julian
Si mira de donde sacaron Games! jajaja, q sarpado, ahi se robaron a ellos mismos jaja! genios.Muy 60`s todo el sonido, lo q quisieron ellos siempre.
HOLY SHIT GAMES!
lmao i’m the one person screaming and clapping at the end
This sounds like an old song that they ditched for a while but when they made angles (an album) they used this song to make games (song from angles). This just doesn't sound like a song from modern times...
They just look the riff
1:18 >>> GAMES! EPICCCC
hahah julian is drunk XDDDDDDDDDD conchetumadre ashjfkalsgjkhl 2;08 THE BEST PART.
@forasec U´r rite..... its Julian... not Julain
@dsmithflu you obliviously dont know the strokes that well if you think that......
The intro sound like a game .w
1:24 👏👏
2:08
