Holiday/Hard To Live In The City | Albert Hammond Jr. | From The Basement

[@danielarmstrong481]

Oh what I would do to have The Strokes Live from The Basement

[@Waltar100]

I would literally die

[@rawn9234]

I would also kidnap them

[@raihanshrk1955]

Fucking agree!

[@yudiaprianto7455]

Sell your kidney maybe...

[@martimribeiro7538]

this is not the strokes...

[@Juandiegoexporta]

I remember discovering The Strokes and then Albert's solo work, amazed twice.

[@crangesmcbasketball1828]

Definitely an underrated solo artist ahj has a very unique style of music

[@ezzong]

His solo project is basically the essence of Strokes' first two album type of songwriting and i love it so much.

[@mrchrisgutierrez]

sir edzonko me too! I think Francis trouble beats out New Abnormal. And I really like new abnormal!

[@ezzong]

@@mrchrisgutierrez Albert's songwriting tends to stay true to 50s and 60s pop formula mixed with garage rock, like early Strokes' music, it's on the simpler and safer side compared to present Julian's interesting and experimental songs but sometimes it's all you need.

[@sithshallrulethegalaxy485]

Thats why i tell people i dont care if the strokes break up because I like ahj style more than the strokes.when I want to listen to experimental ill listen to the voidz when i want strokes style ill listen to ahj. In my opinion lyrics vs lyrics julian is better but I feel ahj has better beats and rythem then julian does. I'll take better guitar rythem and solos over good lyrics.on francés trouble was so underrated and I can listen to every song. On the new abnormal theres a handful of songs that I just don't care for.

[@sithshallrulethegalaxy485]

@@mrchrisgutierrez the new abnormal was alright imo there a couple songs i just dont care for

[@matthewsnyder674]

That guitar riff in Holiday just screams School's out for summer 🙌🏼

@SamuelEMPowell131 you must be lonely gimmick

[@12oushi]

omg i remember when i heard ' Hard To Love In The City ' on episode pilot Gossip Girl, gold old days :')

[@refuzed74]

Albert Jr. definitely inherited his father's amazing musical and song writing talent.

[@moonbustin]

I will always remember that i burn a cd with this clip and ze strokes in transit back in 2010. Simple times man , i tell you

[@KinkybeatsMX]

Thanks Nigel, for these memories!

[@rafaelcardoso5782]

the way both songs mingle and complete themselves is superb

[@futuremarkets]

I remember when this was on Sky Arts, I used to be obsessed with this show. I saw Albert Hammond Jr headline one of the small tents at Reading in 2007 and it was so good.

[@iiGODLYWARRIOR]

i used to watch this on like 240p. thanks for uploading it in high quality. i love AHJR as a guitarist and singer.

[@rapisor]

I love the "happy/sad" vibes both songs seem to emanate. Any other bands that has this sound? Not counting The Strokes, of course.

[@sanl8325]

[@ToeRogan21]

The Shins have songs with a melancholy vibe

The fact that he named his daughter after this song... so cool!

[@NightMythHunter]

wait what what’d he name his daughter? holiday?

[@earlybyrds]

Thanks to youtube premium i can download this to listen everytime i want, love this performance, true basement feel

[@jaylau6441]

i just can confirm it

[@lareessa1]

Ele é incrível e talentoso. Amo The Strokes, mas ele tem que continuar lançando trabalhos solo. Nunca imaginei que ele fosse tão incrível, compondo e cantando.

[@joeleon8764]

So he got himself another The Strokes. Heck, even the guy in vest is his double.

[@weylandyutanicorporate]

They're The Strokes' stunt doubles.

[@FChalella]

They are The Strokes... since The Strokes is not The Strokes anymore.

[@weylandyutanicorporate]

@@FChalella Do you think that means it'll be easier to get them to play my birthday party?

[@NeonTiger]

The bassist at least has Nikolai's hair haha

[@rickyd517]

This drummer actually was the strokes’ backup drummer when fab broke his arm one time

Another splendid performance from one of my favorite entertainers! Excellent guys! 💖💖

[@santiagoarias50]

2:48 changing, instant goosebumps.

[@joaquinot]

This is AMAZING! First time I listen to him solo. Props!

[@lucakat9262]

Be sure to check out his other solo projects. He's really great. And, of course, a special cry out to Francis Trouble. (I heard he's working on a Volume 2 for that album as well). More power to him! And 'Far Away Truths' has to be one of my favorite songs ever. Btw, Albert said recently that he finally thinks he's "good." He's too humble. He's great!🤘

[@joaquinot]

@@lucakat9262 Wow awesome, thanks for sharing this data, I will definetly look for this stuff!

[@lucakat9262]

@@joaquinot great! Another AHJ solo fan! Btw, he tried to get the Strokes to look at his lyrics and ideas. Albert said that Julian seemed okay with it but the other members were not. Even though Albert had written some Strokes songs with Julian. So Idk why they wouldn't let Albert use one song of his own. Maybe it's because Julian always wrote most of the songs back then. So that's one reason he went solo. Plus, the Strokes were beginning to have problems. And, Julian mentioned that even though, at the time, he still was committed to the Strokes, that some other band members were interested in trying something else too. Julian mentioned Fab and Nikolai. So they went onto make music with other bands that they formed. Julian was the only other Stroke to have a solo album. But Jules only did one before forming the Voidz. So that's what the guys did when they were not together. Also, they did not get along very well, for the most part from 2010 till 2019, when they regrouped. Even though they still toured sometimes, I think Julian had something to do with them truly getting back together because he was asked about the band and how things were going and if they still got along. Julian said that their 'brotherhood' would always be there since they'd known each other since their teens and so forth. Shortly afterwards, I noticed they got back together and it was strongly rumored that they were recording again. So much for rumors now. Lol. You might want to read "Meet Me in the Bathroom'. That book tells some interesting stuff about them. Although, it leaves stuff out, like the band getting to meet Lou Reed. Reed had influenced the band greatly. Anyway, sorry to go on so long. As you can see, I'm a diehard Strokes fan. To me, they are all fascinating in their own right. There's so much more I could add to what I've said but you can (if you want) look them up on Google and there are some great interviews with them here on KZbin. Oh, one more thing, Albert is good friends with actor Joaquin Phoenix.😉

[@Driften_Banana]

@@lucakat9262 what do you think about Etchings? (Volume 2 of Francis Trouble)

[@lucakat9262]

@@Driften_Banana actually I haven't heard of it. Is that his next albums name? I got a chance to have a short and fast conversation with him last year and he said he was releasing a double album this summer. He didn't mention the title so I figured he wanted to wait and announce when the time was right.👍🙂

[@Vaeren222]

I didn't know this existed! I feel blessed

[@nimokino1356]

Where Julian?

[@duvan-solis]

Albert sounds like he's rather polishing the sound of two first album or playing with a mixture of pop on it. I don't know what to say, at first I like, now is very hard on the songs as it's an indistinguible formula, which won't get you into the supposedly creative songs from time to time.

[@keirandcarlshow]

Anyone know other groups that use 3 guitars?
