After listening to the clip in a clearer version ten times straight, I'm pretty sure this isn't Bono simply playing a recording.
I think it is U2 playing the music for Bono. Listen to the Strokes song and then listen to the clip. The drums are live, at least I'm pretty sure. At :50 when the guitar disappears, you can hear Bono in a low voice singing lyrics. If you listen closely you can tell that it isn't the original (youtube) version of the song being played. It has to be either a studio jam by The Strokes that Bono is singing to or the rest of U2 is playing behind him.
