@@alexcammon yep , forget about eating, forget about sleeping, forget about your body cooperating in any way shape orr form. When u do fall asleep for about 8-10 minutes - the most vivid dreams that sometimes end with you having a wet dream( like ur 12 years old again. This is just the beginning of hell on earth. 2 - 4 weeks , the pain subsides but 6 months later u may or may not feel somewhat normal....
@j-mac7401 It's the worst. But your right, months before you start to feel normal. And then the struggle to stay clean, becomes a lifelong task, that takes work and dedication. But worth it if you put in the work.
What you said about the bands from this era glorifying alcoholism and use of substances is 100% true. Seen that with my own eyes Guys from New York especially tend to struggle with that stuff, it's a hard place to keep sober I tell ya.=
He’s always had his family funds to fall back on I suppose - he can’t really lose it all like a regular guy. He’s unlikely to become homeless like Lanegan is he?
Yeah, but even Lanagen had advantages, royalties, Kurt paid for his dope while alive, so did Layne..then Courtney paid for his rehab when he hit rock bottom. Then Queens gave em a part time job post rehab. So I think if your a famous Rockstar you'll always be privileged and have advantages. Which I'd say makes it that much harder to stop using. As a former heroin addict, I speak from experience. The worst thing that ever happened to me was getting a high paying job. When I worked at dead end jobs, it was kinda easy to kick when I wanted to. But as soon as I started making 6 figures, it was over for me..I can say I was a fully functioning addict. I paid my bills, and spent the rest on dope. It went from easy to impossible to stop and it took me nearly 7 yrs. after getting that job to finally realize what I had to do to stop. And am still not out the woods yet..it hasn't been very long. So we'll see..it's very hard kickin' when you have the means to get high with little risk financially..
He once stopped a wrong UN trying to mug his girlfriend with a big grin on his face Albert stopped him ,5 guys that know absolutely nothin about lockdown strokes stream Julian joked to him that he looked suicidal but that was lockdown when the new abnormal was out
Living with an addiction is totally different for a rich kid like this guy. These guys can dick around all they like and then when they want to get clean they can just toddle off to some tropical paradise for a couple weeks. Then go live at the second or third home so you are out of the orbit of the users you were hanging around with before. Try doing that when you're on the dole and living on some council estate. Life is just a playground for these people. An H addiction that many would never recover from is merely a speedbump for them. A roll around in the dirt with the peasants, some cheap thrills. Then back to the yacht or the villa on the french riviera. Yeah, im jealous.
That's just you projecting mate. I got sober in NYC , I heard all the stories and interacted with every conceivable addict from millionaire to skidrow junkie and it doesn't matter , the struggles to stay sober and working the steps to rebuild and make smends to the people we've harmed are the same. That's not to say thst money can't help but in the end it doesn't matter. That's why i csn identify with any addict no matter what there circumstances are.
I agree to some degree,, but the wealthy addicts tend to have heavier addictions and can afford to never hit rock bottom. Either way stick to weed and drink.
And parent s or a parent that pay for their son s or daughter s habits that arnt famous and well off .All the strokes had day jobs to pay their rent before they was well known in uk .Jules worked in a bar which was perfect at the time for him as he was a alcoholic for 1 and met his future ex wife Juliet? Who was a waitress there at the time.
rich kid poser intentionally getting addicted to heroin because everyone did that in the 70's and If he's gonna pretend he's living in the 70's also...he has to!
I'd say Luna would be a better choice. I remember Blender magazine called them "Velvet Underground Jr.". Plus Sterling Morrison played guitar on the Luna track Friendly Advice.
I met The Strokes just before their first album came out. Albert and Fabrizio were really nice and easy to talk to. Julian and the other two were twats. I'm glad Albert overcame his addiction. He's a good dude.
That’s the feeling I get too, and Fab and Albert are my favorites. I think they are the most charismatic members after Julian. Julian, Nick and Nikolai seem arrogant in their way of exaggerating a false cool attitude (Julian and Nick in particular). Often the Tall ones are arrogant, because they have the attention of girls.

Iggy Pop has three words of advice to anyone starting to do well in music: stick to weed.
It's the truth! As an addict of 24 years. Weed never caused any problems and if I don't have it, I just don't have it.
Iggy shoulda stuck to his own advice!
Yeah stick to weed if you want your career to die before it began

He did,it takes an Addict to know an Addict @@curtisbush5728
I still absolutely adore his fantastic underrated debut solo album 'Yours To Keep' :-)
Momentary masters is his best solo work imo, just my opinion
Attempting to detox while on the road from heroin - having to perform each night. You will lose everytime.
No doubt! You need a bed and a t.v. for at least 2 weeks with NOTHING TO DO but stay in bed.

@@j-mac7401 Ugh, those withdrawal wet dreams are the worst. Like, you already feel so disgusting and that just adds to it.
Yours To Keep is a 10/10 album. I can't believe how underrated AHJ is as a solo artist.

He bought some
New hair about 8 years ago too.
He’s always had his family funds to fall back on I suppose - he can’t really lose it all like a regular guy. He’s unlikely to become homeless like Lanegan is he?
In fact, if he did lose all his money and became homeless I would be impressed. Doesn’t he have a supermodel girlfriend?
Mark Lanegan was worth 100 of any of these designer pricks.
Yeah, but even Lanagen had advantages, royalties, Kurt paid for his dope while alive, so did Layne..then Courtney paid for his rehab when he hit rock bottom.

No need to hate or get jealous just because someone has more money than you.

What twaddle.
But a lot of very rich Rock Stars still end up in a very bad way , and often dying. Money can only insulate you so much .
He wasnt on it until they made 3rd lp 2005 .Ryan adams gets the blame in that book meet me in the bathroom he was also on ketamine .
i love your narration style. very unique as if you're not reading it. keep on that
Really appreciate that, ta. My earlier videos were much more scripted but I had enough of doing it that way.
Not for nothing, but these guys always had money and they're in NYC, which unfortunately has the best, cleanest shit around.
Los Angeles is otherway wround 😂
These guys were all born rich. For Christmas their dad's pulled together and bought them a band.
Yes, but they were good, otherwise it wouldn't have caught on
So? There’s plenty rich kids who can’t put two chords together
And parent s or a parent that pay for their son s or daughter s habits that arnt famous and well off .All the strokes had day jobs to pay their rent before they was well known in uk .Jules worked in a bar which was perfect at the time for him as he was a alcoholic for 1 and met his future ex wife Juliet?

Stupid comment
@@ClaydenLeeThe band have admitted it was guitar tutors in NY that wrote and taught the band the first album. Money was no object.
Parker Posey at 2.54??
I thought it would make me a better guitar player I think. It did not.
rich kid poser intentionally getting addicted to heroin because everyone did that in the 70's and If he's gonna pretend he's living in the 70's also...he has to!
Yeah, In possibly the most overrated band ever
how can you compare The Velvet Underground with The Strokes?
Oops 🙊
Not comparable in any way, the strokes suck. Bad.
@@tp8271 they are a pre-fabricated boy band made of rich kids.

poor little rich boy
He was a ketamine addict as well took it like him out of friends did but shot himself up
Literally one of the most overrated bands of all time
