Julian Casablancas really wishes he had been in Arctic Monkeys.
Julian Casablancas, like most music fans of a certain vintage, really would have loved to have been a member of Arctic Monkeys.
The Strokes singer posted to Instagram on Sunday, October 11th, a perfect recreation of the Arctic Monkey’s 2006 album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not : Casablancas smoked a cigarette, eyes off to the right, looking pensive in thought, just as Chris McClure looked in the original album artwork.

Casablancas and The Strokes were already very famous indeed when Alex Turner and co.
burst onto the scene with Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not.
The Strokes were an obvious influence on their sound, with Turner even famously singing “I just wanted to be one of The Strokes”, in their recent song ‘The Star Treatment’ from 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.
