Albert Hammond Jr - Interview

[gg4ever100]

whats the song at the end?

[MusicLadCarlos]

This the very first time I ever heard him speak. o.o He seems super chill! n_n

[KnoxChai]

his smile makes me smile `-`/

[zamora795]

awww he carries a notebook so do i !!!!

[ResembleBeauty]

I reaaaaaally wish I could just hang out with Albert. Although it would probably be awkward since I'm only 14, but he seems like he can hold such interesting conversations and he comes off as really easygoing and well... inspiring. I have a love for every member of the band because they're each very unique. I have never watched interviews or researched any other band and I feel great that I chose to dig deeper for these guys. It's so worth it.

[aldotaka]

what is the best cencert thee oojai hrsd?

[TheGroupVideo]

Love his smile xD

[TheBubblebug]

"gets you fucking high" 5:11

[nge1301]

The band he mentions, The Mooney Suzuki, is VERY NICE, but also VERY UNDERRATED. Check them out.

[c0m3t0g3th3r]

4:03 What a guy. I would almost call the interviewer out of line for asking that but Albert has a such a distinct playing style and something he brings to the instrument. I'm a multi-instrumentalist myself and Albert is my favorite member of The Strokes.

[melovedisney1492]

He has a lovely laugh.

[TheRoberto44]

fue un poco grosero preguntarle si nick era mejor que el, pero fue muy humilde y demostro ser un gran amigo, aunque yo creo que albert es mejor

[ThinCrustPizza67]

"My name is Albert Hammond Jr. And I fucking rip on guitar for The Strokes."

That's what he should have said.

[warhol1961]

"is he better than you?"

"(whispers) oh yes,he's a lot better..)

lol...loved that part...;p

[pollywolly67]

I love this guy. He's seriously my hero !

[BorgKing001]

He looks like the singer from Hot Hot Heat

[SkateNinja3000]

What song are they playing from :08 to :36? I really like it.

[KamikaziPanda17]

@SkateNinja3000 Its "Heart In a Cage" from their Third Album

[SkateNinja3000]

@KamikaziPanda17 Thanks I really like this song.

[georgemuse]

Yours to keep is such an amazing album, Albert is such an amazing genius!!

[giselle21able]

They all look like exotic beings... all beautiful in completely differentways.

[warhol1961]

@giselle21able

couldn't agree more...5 pieces from different puzzles collected to form a new picture...

[giselle21able]

@warhol1961

Yes :) your comment just reminds me of their new record, Angles, because of how you mentioned the puzzle pieces.

[nge1301]

his my fuckin idol. "gets you fuckin high"

[KickenItOldSchool]

I dont think its a good idea to ask a guitarist if another ones better than you cause guitarists usually have big egos but Albert is a modest guy

[tswars]

te amo cabron!!!!!! te amo!!!! hahaha.. gracias a ti se todo lo qe se de ritmo :3

:)

[angelies77]

I love this interview. He just seems so down to earth. After watching this, I want to make him a wholesome dinner LOL

[koti1100]

I find him so dreamy :)

[TravisProductions]

"being able to come to Amsterdam." (1:53) THAT explains the chillness haha

[brandox37]

i think albert and nick are both awesome at guitar, with out any of them, the strokes cant be complete

[venusazem]

there is something special about this guy... maybe for some girls he is not so handsome as julian or nick, for me he is very sweet and and i really love his hair like this! he is so normal, down to earth and honest that... oh fuck, i would give anything for meeting this man and have a chat with him, he is awesome

[cortizceci]

@venusazem I agree w/ you! He's just so fucking adorable!! i love his little notebook, its really cute :)

[TheRelativeExtremist]

@venusazem each Stroke is sexy in his own way. no homo lol

[Backalleypeprally]

"Oh yeah he's much better"

[DorineMZ]

I love his solo project. :D

[elpollococo]

He's so attractive in his own way.

[desasterz]

waw... its so cool to see their rehersal roommmmm!!!!!

[needmodestmouse]

he does seem super down to earth. I'm really in love with his solo stuff right now.

[brilliantone909]

if he walked into a bar and sat next to you to try and have a conversation, and he was just and average joe.. u would want to fuck him, hes not that attractive so stfu all you little gold digging bitches, its about the music.

[nyukkaboom2]

@brilliantone909

i think.. if he came in the bar shredding on his guitar...

i would probably cream my jeans. buhaha

[brilliantone909]

if ur in to the pot head strung out look in any random person, then yeah i believe that... uppen ur standards... and the shredding guitar part proves my whole point..

[intrepidvs]

i think his style is what makes the strokes sound so unique

[yolo1998]

[HansPeter14]

[willow2716]

[AirHendrix91]

@Yeaahright Dude you said the same thing on the Room on Fire interview.

No offense but seriously, you seem like you want to fuck him badly.

[Yeaahright]

@AirHendrix91 I'm not a dude... so no offense taken

[AirHendrix91]

@Yeaahright Oh ok. I'd fuck him too :D.

[Backalleypeprally]

[svenkstjessica]

albert is so cute, he reminds me of a puppy i had to look after for a month for my brother...

[ritahersh]

He's very sexy in my opinion...

I love when he takes out his notebook and says it's so stupid..sweet.

and the way he says that Nick is a lot better guitar player...pretty honest thing to say

[lacey72]

[littlefxman]

Albert rules !

[strokesfan1107]

[julesalbertfab]

julian actually played the second drumset on Evening Sun too

[ShotterNation]

julians a better guitar player?!

[diverdown2430]

lol ah man i love albert...i just kindof find it funny how he says like ..oh yeahh nicks a lot better ..never really shows u know ..like on the first album ...albert is basically playing all the solos ...even on the new 1 ..the solos in ize of the world and vision of division ..probably the hardest 1s ..are played by albert

[evd81]

Albert doesn't play all the solos on the first album, he doesn't even play the majority of the solos

[grumbovin]

wauw he looks so much like his dad

[raji92]

its awesome that he can be so famous, but yet so humble.

[indiesunglasses]

this is excellent. albert is so COOL!

[Pycanco]

sorry mates but who cares if nick is better than albert?? oh my fucking god...i think that's the important is the music, and the strokes are the best band ever...i think that «is this it»

[MemoHammond]

Albert is my idol, he is very cool and, i think what he plays guitar much better that nick valensi, and albetr have an album... he is much better and point

[mmmtaquitos]

i thought i was the only one who wrote everything down =) makes me feel better.

[ilovezestrokes]

I know, I do that too! haha

[ubanare]

YES, RED LIGHT!

[JessTheSkank]

A.C.E.

[StrokesChiliPepper]

hahaha"gets u fuckin high"

[Antarctic1]

interviewer: is he(nick valensi) a lot better(guitar skill) than you? alb: oh yeah, he's a lot better.

[heyyou505]

Aww...but Albert can create some great songs...listen to his new album "Yours to Keep"...it's awesome...

[stewardo]

of course hes gonna say that. hes not gonna say: "no im way better than him".

Nick probably says the same thing about Albert
