Albert Hammond, Jr. - Everyone Gets A Star

[nuramber]

Why is it that I instantly just started to like this song alot?!

[ChinoxSerox]

i read play station 4 in the description (@ _ @)

[M3DARDO]

the strokes can inspire anyone !

[MrCoffeeandTV]

5 people have no star.

[cocochanell7]

his music is so sweet it makes me emotional

[tonyhq1992]

does albert use any other guitar other than a white strat?

[PaintBand]

@tonyhq1992 Not really but he's got a Gretsch white Penguin he's used once or twice



[eackley32]

just bought his "yours to keep" cd. Awesome can listen to it from start to finish, which you can't say about alot of records. this is by far my favorite song



[BombskiKyle]

dang this would've been sick to see. I love both the Strokes and Albert Hammond Jr.

[TheBerserkpanda]

yeah i missed the strokes isnt the drummer from the strokes in albert band?

[PMurray2694]

there's a lot of really nice quality videos of albert, including this one

[MikeyFace21]

Is it just me, or does his drummer look eerily like fab? (The Strokes drummer, if ya don't know)

[GRoskafella]

when his voice gets high it reminds me of the singer from Placebo

[johanneswni]

the start this song really sound like the start of Soma

[AirHendrix91]

Modest Mouse much? :D Good stuff though.

[ValuedDanny1089]

great song

[Jerichoholic20]

he sounds like the guy from Cake when he sings

[ValuedDanny1089]

@Jerichoholic20 what's Cake?

[Jerichoholic20]

@ValuedDanny1089 the band they sing Short Skirt Long Jacket

[ValuedDanny1089]

@Jerichoholic20 thanks!

[MAG00BLACK666DARK]

Good song!!!

[EcuDG]

albert plays the guitar better that he sings

[MotleyPumpkins]

freakin sweet. I really like the sound of the drum set. I would really like to get a set similar to that. Does anyone know what type of drums he has?

But yeah love Albert, love the Strokes, can't wait for their 4th album! Its due soon :)

[MPRdotOrg]

@MotleyPumpkins - that's the studio drum kit. It's an old maple shell Pearl kit.

[xmav360x]

i mean this in the kindest way.... dont anybody criticize a single effin thing any member of the strokes does either collaboratively or solo. these are the legends of our time of music so back off peeps.

[MrXxiii]

i think albert and jules should write and sing together.that's be sweet.albert on some backing vocals.

[joshsanchez21]

@MrXxiii Doesn't he do that in Ask Me Anything? Sing back-up, I mean...Albert.

[thestrokessss15]

satiaraha u suck this song is sick

[mdtizzle]

He's the only one who's keeping the strokes sound alive.

[ameerhamid89]

Exactly. Casablancas has gone off in a different direction =\

[ivancesarg]

No WE THE FANS complained about tem sounding the same from the 1st and 2nd album that FOR US fans they attempted something new and WE THE FANS bashed on them cause it wasn't catchy enough so they went off and did they're own thing...

[ameerhamid89]

Lol I don't think it was like that, dude. They probably wanted to see what it felt like making music independant of the rest of the band and how it'd sound like.

Personally, I never understood how the fans of the first two strokes albums thought the third was too mainstream and sellout :s

[Discosadnessx]

I miss The Strokes, but this sounds...a lot like them.

[BethPessoa]

@Discosadnessx its sounds like strokes because albert already mentioned in a interview earlier that all songs in "Yours To Keep" were written and supposed to be strokes' songs.

[camdener1]

@Discosadnessx well, they'll be back this year! it was a long hiatus but i hope the wait was worth it!

[trojaner93]

they was the special guest of the coldplay concert. Their music is great

[MorrisTheRascal]

So Strokes! amazing!

[XxxxxxLinaxxxxxX]

no, it is albert with his band =P no Julian, no nick, no fabrizio, no nickolai

[yesyjules]

strokes ..............

[kirka1026]

[hamajuggle]

the main riff reminds me of 'can't stop'

[OMGtwisterBabe14]

[dangogh11]

[zurdokmexico]

[Sk8rkid3]

[drewcantplay]

[foshizRAWR]

Jazzmaster. You can tell by the pickup switch.

[cossidae85]

[Drakomonkey]

[cassluvdogs]

[adel1209]

PERFECT SOUND !!!!

[joshsanchez21]

Matt's got the coolest drum style ever. Besides a few unnamed drummers. ; ]

[sohaxoar]

i love it when the dude w/ the les paul smiles. lol so chill. hes just like yeah im a beast- wat up.

[asterisk888]

That's Marc Philippe Eskenazi, a great guitarist and even better human being. He played for this NYC group called The Sexy Magazines, now has his own side thing called Medium Cool.

[sohaxoar]

cool

[casablonga]

I've seen the live...love the music

[mdanak]

I love the arrangement.

[milathewho]

00:03 > 00:05 SOMA

[deadlyermac]

yep sure sounds like it!

[Mike709]

not at all

[milathewho]

hahaha yes it is, listen to the studio version. is the same as soma, no doubt

[milathewho]

00:03 to 00:04

[tridgit91]

haha i hear it too,,

[Mike709]

@milathewho OKAY I GUESS SO

[Yoel2291]

Alguien me podria decir que modelo de guitarra exactamente usa albert osea de USA China?? y que serie.

[ellioteaston93]

usa, de ley pedazo d cojudo, q crees q va a usar una gitarra china, q crees q es pobre q no le alcanza para una americana, ten sentido comun puta!, y la serie ya vale verga , como se ve media nueva seguramente es de los 90 o de 00's , o no se si kieres saber bien, no te cuesta nada meterte en google, no seas vago!

[lastnite13]

es una fender olimpic 70`s reissue

[joshsanchez21]

Don't worry, thighmister. I'm with you!!!

: D

[Rowlhion]

Yeah Albert Has Indie Ideas xD more soft, i don't know how to explain it but i can't say that is better than the strokes -..-

[Nikopse6]

I love the strokes but its also class to see Albert creating some ellish music!!!

[zjimz94]

cool song

[trojaner93]

so eine gelies lied war auf concert war awesome

[RoosMartin]

love that guy

[per835]

favorite song off the record.

[tobin834]

don't worry I get booed and thumb downed all the time for saying obvious shit. I'm with you. I love him but some parts (especially when he says "TODAY") his voice is out of pitch.

[thighmister]

"TODA-AY"-- The half-note downpitch bend is intentional and my favorite part of the song!

[tobin834]

He sounds like he's choking. Your favorite part of this song is when it sounds like he's choking? We can't be talking about the same part.

[thighmister]

0:45, etc, yes?

That's Jr. all the way.  I just want to pinch his little cheeks.

[Vanderjuice]

it's not intentional, thighmaster. he's not the greatest live singer. deal with it.

[thighmister]

it is clearly intentional. i would have no problem "dealing with it" if it were a mistake, because i couldn't care less if albert is a good singer or not, but it is not a mistake. and it's thighMISTER.

[GenericReb420]

Who gives a fuck?

It's a great song so just listen to it instead of explaining meaningless things.

[niraj346]

this sounds really gr8!!!

[MoonchildMindaugasRo]

What's that woman doing there, just curious :) ?

[FrankietheMute]

pause at :33

drummer looks an awful like Donald Gibb from bloodsport

[strokesfan1107]

i listened to this on the radio. i was like whoooaa albert live! and then i drove by the 89.3 current studio and was like...he's in there...

[MoonchildMindaugasRo]

So you saw this session :D ?

[MoonchildMindaugasRo]

So you saw this session :D ?

[indielover77]

really loved this song & album which unfairly got harsh reviews from the press....

if the second album is anything as good as the first the it really should be a classic *****

[MoonchildMindaugasRo]

5 star, 100%, definitely :)

[123adrianman123]

january 8th new album

[MoonchildMindaugasRo]

By whom? Albert? He's releasing it in June

[123adrianman123]

i know that now, thats what i heard a long time ago

[jonyvdub342]

ya he should sing some songs 4 da album. hes realy good.

[wishraptor]

i think it would be nice to have albert singing some parts on a new strokes album. but only if jules asked him to of course!

[mcborgia]

i was thinking the same thing!

[joaofsilva]

this sounds very very good!

[stewardo]

love the strokes, love albert. albert should sing with the strokessss. his voice and julian's would work so well together. he should help write songs with julian too :(

[jb082594]

pleased to say that albert does help song writing mate! I know he helps alot of the time and i also know for a fact that the entire song Automatic Stop is written by him.

[stewardo]

are you sure....because in the books it says "All Songs Written By J. Casablancas". And then it says except some, where he helps write automatic stop. he probably did the guitar fills. but I want him to do moreeee and actually sing. I want it to say "Songs written by the Strokes" in the next book.

[Johnbilben]

No No No my friend. Im in a band that tours and writes and records and all that good stuff. The fact that Julian writes all the songs just means they're composed by him. meaning chord progression, structure, and lyrics. THE STROKES put they're 2 cents in every song. Nick especially. Albert did write automatic stop tho. i know that for sure.

[Jimdouglas123]

Yes... Love Song!! Hey Albert Please Continue The strokes...

[USfutbol]

89.3 is the best radio station in the world! Albert hammond Jr. is amazing too.

[ArcticMonkeys505]

albert you're so stronger

[penguinsgomoo]

Dude. Total pwnage. Albert, can I keep you? Damnit.

[Ricksterscovers]

i love this song (:

[ALICIA666]

Albert and his music are so cool.
