RTÉ's Jenny Huston chats to Albert Hammond Jr. of the Strokes backstage ahead of their Oxegen 2011 headline slot. But then Albert takes phone call -mid interview!
Such a cool guy it’s so hard to picture him battling serious drug addiction..glad to see him well and honestly like his solo stuff just as much as the strokes
this interview is so good because albert's so responsive. alex turner's always pretty tricky to interview,but this was great cause he's really into it :D
this interview has such positive energy.:) made me forget my worries about the band somehow having grown apart over the years.its great to hear that they feel even more like a band after making this album.whohoo. and the interviewer is very talented and great to listen to .so natural.
I was at the front of the pit for their slot at Oxegen and I have to say that rain could not have been better timed! The heavens absolutely opened at the start of the second song and nobody gave a flying fuck.. It was actually the highlight of the festival for me!
She really knew what she was talking about! She actually sounded like she was interested in the interview rather than just reading what was given to her.
The interview was really cool and interesting but I just can't stop staring at him and thinking how handsome he is. Man he's really, really good looking. His face at 1:20 tho

1:20 In the Rolling Stone in 2003 he said his mother always calls him during interviews, so maybe it was her !!! Nice ringtone though!
albert is an amazing person, my one inspiration in life. a part of my bucket list is meeting him before i die
This was so chill! And the interviewer, Jenny, is actually educated on the musician. "My vocabulary is dying slowly," hahaha.

I LOVE ALBERT AND HIS IDENTITY FOR THE BAND...HE ALWAYS DOES THAT KINDA' STUFF....
probably this is one of the best strokes interview, Jenny did it!!

The Strokes were Oxegen for me, what a set and performance, ABSOLUTE LEGENDS! And the rain only added to it!!

The Strokes never do interviews together anymore - you know, like all of them in the same room at the same time.
"promoting this one and thinking of the 5th one"
THINKING OF THE 5TH ONE. :D
my ringtone is repitilia ;)
the title should say "oxegen 2011 a stroke"
I hope the STOKES be as good as the STROKES are.
come on... it's "Beat It" from Michael Jackson the Van Halen solo part :)
