Oxegen 2011 - The Strokes

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!

[@karentorrento874]

Albert, now we're waiting for album #7!

[@liamgallagherrr]

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

[@M1995C]

he's the nicest guy ahh

[@r3dfella]

dude just gets better with age, like a fine wine.

[@niezyje8922]

albert is an amazing person, my one inspiration in life. a part of my bucket list is meeting him before i die

[@silvanamigliavacca9939]

His smile is so pure

[@miloneantonella]

Love him, love the socks, love the cell phone interrupt. It´s all too cute

[@emilygray94]

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.

[@chanceie12]

i love how he has beat it solo from halen as his ringtone.

[@thatsnotmyname69]

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

[@Maugolek]

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!

[@TicTacJoe134]

Albert's solo stuff ROCKS

[@adiheartsgreen]

i think i fell in love with Albert now

[@monodeuramain]

[@zestroker1]

I LOVE ALBERT AND HIS IDENTITY FOR THE BAND...HE ALWAYS DOES THAT KINDA' STUFF....

[@Noor881291]

[@yourpainismygain]

This was so chill! And the interviewer, Jenny, is actually educated on the musician. "My vocabulary is dying slowly," hahaha.

[@multicolourorange1]

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!

[@zestroker1]

OH HIS LAUGH.....AND THE WAY HE TALKS,,,,I COULD STARE AT HIM FOREVER....

[@scarlettfeetham7344]

He is so sweet!

[@niky1189]

[@blackappleseed]

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.

[@1yoalohaholaoy1]

Fun fact, he stopped wearing suits because he went through rehab and no longer has track marks to hide on his arms.

[@brohemian]
