strokes juicebox video still... edited

Chances are you've seen the video to The Strokes' pretty-good-actually comeback single, 'Juicebox', but what you're seeing isn't what was intended.

The video's director, Michael Palmieri, has posted the uncut version of the video on his own website, claiming that MTV forced him to make a number of changes that "caused the narrative to fall apart." Palmieri's website is here.

Palmieri removed his name from the video's credits in protest. The video features a lot of dirty tomfoolery. Like what you can kinda see in that there photo. FILTH.

  • I thought it was more

    Eighties Matchbox, but perhaps that's just cos I've listened to them more recently than the Jesus Lizard.

  • Deja Vu?

    Didn't another director do this exact same thing earlier in the year? Got pissed off with the edit took off his credit and posted it on his own site (dit)? Or am I imaging that?

  • BTW

    I like all of what I've heard of the new strokes stuff. It's sounding good and progressive (in a retro sort of way). Looking forward to the album. Hopefully they'll sort out their live show setlist by then as well.

  • Duh!

    imagining - there really needs to be an "edit post" button.

  • Do the tony wright rap

    what's actually happened is that terrorvision have taken on a linda perry type role for the strokes single, and of course that perry role dictates that you must rip off your own underachieving band from years back. actually terrorvision didnt underachieve, because they were really shit. so they did pretty well all in all. sorry, this sounds like a pop at terrorvision. Basically, "pretend best friend", (how to make friends and influence people)1994. Palmieri must have made the terrorvision videos as well, cos they were really, really shit. Sorry, sorry, doing it again. To recap: Strokes - fucking dispicable cunts, Terrorvision - heroes of sorts
    ha, bet you thought noone would notice, eh cassablancas, you cheeky shit
