The Strokes - New York Stories

Description

Since exploding onto the scene The Strokes have given rock music the strangling it so badly needed. Not only have they won the hearts and minds of the music press and alternative crowd but they have also crossed over into the mainstream without sacrificing any of their credibility. In just three years, The Strokes have gone from low-key New York club band to internationally famous major league players. The Strokes `New York Stories' now tells the complete and unauthorized story behind the band for the first time.

Customer Reviews:

Actaully pretty damn good.......2006-12-22

OK the band weren't involvd, but if you are a fan of the best group around go get this, its got a lot of interesting stuff, and in my view is highly recommended.

One of the worst band documentaries ever..........2006-01-18

I bought this DVD because I really adore the Strokes. Good music, good people, good style...not so good documentary. Whoever made this video should not make anymore at all! The strokes were not even in this besides very few pictures & 10 second clips of them & the "exclusive interviews" were not that exclusive. No sound from any of the strokes & no interviews with them...I can go on. I mean c'mon...a documentary of the Strokes should at least have the Strokes in it, right?

watch you talking about willis?.......2005-11-26

The story of the Strokes is the story of wealth and privilege, and its endless amounts of free time to be arty and practice trying to act like Lou Reed and VU riffs. This was made without RCA, and so lacks strokes music.

The band apparently wanted nothing to do with it, it is practically DIY, with no interviews. This just shows what a bunch of brats they are not to support this project. Their 2nd album sucked anyway.

i wish it was good.......2005-08-14

this dvd sucks. im a die hard strokes fan and expected the dvd to open up with some strokes music or and interview or two.there is absolutely no strokes music and they have a few like stock photos of them doin their thing live but other than that this dvd is a complete letdown.do not waste ur money go buy their two albums instead.

Music from The Strokes? No. Interviews? No. Good DVD? No........2005-03-28

It's just one of those things you end up watching at 3 in the morning. But skip this one. You should be sleeping.
I am a die-hard Strokes fan so when New York Stories came out, I had to have it. Much to my disappointment, it turned out to contain no music by The Strokes, or interviews with any members of the band.
If you still feel like you need to see this DVD, don't pay more than $5 for it. You have been officially warned.
