@teenagelobotomy14 Robert Pollard essentially made the Strokes success possible. He was handed a tape at a GBV gig that later got passed to a record company exec.
Omg 😮 I was shocked by your statement…then I read the last part. Hahaha you can’t go around saying stuff like that. Hahaha like specifically in the way you did it 😂😂😂
@@adecadeofpoetry4831 i’ve learned a lot in the 13 years since that comment - won’t happen again! by the way i think it was “my kind of soldier” pollard originally wrote for the strokes
Look!!! Every1, you should all know that the stokes & Robert Pollard have been friends for years.. He is in TWO of their videos for Bobs sake! I saw Guided By Voices play Leeds festival in 2002 & on the SAME day he came on stage with the strokes & actually sang on this very cover!!!
wow all these comments with no info on how these two bands were the best of friends. Its a cover geez. Go grab a guitar and try to do a fraction of what the strokes have done. so quick to judge, but im sure your fav band is kings of leon or lemme guess vampire weekend HAHAHA. Get real, without the strokes none of the music you hear today that you INDIE people love so much would even be around. You should be kissing their feet, for the movement they created. Fools
no one likes this cover because Julian Casablancas doesn't have the same singing style as Pollard so for those seasoned GBV listeners, it sounds off. It's not necessarily a great cover but its pretty awesome that the Strokes would pay tribute to GBV by doing a cover of them.
Saw the Strokes open for GBV in Chicago at the " Empty Bottle " before their 1st release, they were handing out EP's , it was recorded badly, but, you knew it had potential, and "live" they were good, too bad they kinda wandered off those first couple albums, probably way too late to catch their past glory, must admit I liked the early stuff, still have the signed EP too
yep i really dig them or atleast used to, i don't realy like their new releases and for me "their style" was developed with first 2 albums. garage-like production, distant vocals with heavy filters..this kind of thing you know, and it's pretty much what we hear in dis cover. and GBV is just lo-fi
But when Is this it came out it nothing remotely mainstream sounded like them, in a way their title as "saviours of rock and roll" were deserving and maybe they didn't start a movement but they did sort of revive rock.
@EnokiSkai GBV don't need or will ever want to stoop that low.As Pollard is the most prolific songwriter around,i very much doubt he'll do covers,especially of songs by contemporary untalented bands.but you can bet your ass he'd be more than capable if he wanted to.It is a good thing that popular bands like the strokes are paying tribute to him and hopefully by doing so they're turning people on to good music...
@acombs1793 The Strokes didn't create any movement! Shouldn't you credit said "movement" to the likes of Sonic Youth REM GBV Pavement Dinosaur Jr.? Such bands laid the ground work but the Strokes were young fresh and highy marketable with half a clue when pop culture inc. finally decided to sell john q.public a "new" genre with real merit this time unlike emo gag!The Strokes=mainstream rock band, early 00s, influenced by the "indie rock" movement of american popular music. vampire weekend SUX!
the quality is horrible and julian must a had cold or somethin cause thats the worst cover of Salty Salute i ever heard, now i see where they got Under Control beat from
wow, the strokes just got so much cooler to me
Bob was the first real musician to support these guys...I don't think he has a problem wit them. Look it up.
This is a VERY good cover
only the strokes could pull this off
yes unfortunately the quality of the recording is pretty bad
@@SonyaBladesBooty true to the original
The 16 years old me was there good memories ❤️
they did it in their own style. you can't appreciate this cover if you are not into strokes.
Prefer the GBV version, but this version is really good also. Top stuff.

MY FAV GBV AONG AND MY FAV BAND
i don't think GBV ever covered the strokes, but robert pollard did write some songs for them...but ended up keeping them for himself.

@@sashwap Wow! I’ll be honest, I was not expecting a reply to a 13 year old comment! Time is nuts! Glad to make your acquaintance!
Incredible cover
This is kinda awesome!
Those talking shit about this in Bob's defense, might want to watch the video for Someday, which is basically just the Strokes hanging out with GBV.
The Strokes surpassed them. GBV is irrelevant.
It’s not a competition lol.
the song is as said in the vids title, "A salty salute", and its a guided by voices cover
How cool is that?!? And many minds were blown that night.
incluso estos weyes le hacen covers a Robert Pollard!! No mames GVB Rules!
MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
I like this....
even though i didn't expect to.

Great cover of a great song from Guided By Voices
love it
The Club Is Open GBV Rules
i agree

I’m sorry, I want to make sure I understand what you are saying. Are you claiming that The Strokes are terrible after their first two albums?
Agreed .. the first two were iconic .. the third was good and the rest is so so
G.B.V.!
gbv!!
GBV GBV GBV
@doricoionico y eos que tiene que ver?
This guy fucked it up.
@doricoionico oye porque lo de mexicano? eso que tiene que ver yo tmbn soy mexicana.
yep i really dig them or atleast used to,

and GBV is just lo-fi
i have a question for all those complaining- why are you all so SALTY? lmao
@thebruno44 - Eh?
I am part of the fucking Strokes movement
What's wrong with you? This cover is perfect! Oo
But when Is this it came out it nothing remotely mainstream sounded like them, in a way their title as "saviours of rock and roll" were deserving and maybe they didn't start a movement but they did sort of revive rock.

Bob plays covers all the time live. Almost every show for years.
This comment did not age well 😂😂😂
nice gbv props. (though, nothing beats gbv.

I like the strokes and love gbv so I was excited when I came upon this clip. Too bad it was terrible.
He's trying way too hard to be a rock star to cover this song.
If anyone can do an excellent GBV cover...
then its not the strokes... this sucks
This is a travesty, a terrible band covering a sacred song like this horribly.
@shrivalup STROKES are better than all those bands combined. you dont know what your talking about!
strokes better
Gawd... This sucked!!! At least you know good music and was moved by GBV !!
lame
They absolutely raped this song. Horrible.
the quality is horrible and julian must a had cold or somethin cause thats the worst cover of Salty Salute i ever heard, now i see where they got Under Control beat from
covering GBV has to be the most uncool thing a musician could do, ever.
