Insightful Interviews:

Lets kick off our pool of incredible strokes content with the top 3 strokes interviews in my opinion.

No. 1: Albert Hammond Jr. Guitar Moves Interview

I absolutely adore the above the interview as, I myself, play guitar. So it is refreshing to see one of the guitar players of the band talk specifically about, one of the aspects of the music I adore the most. While I began guitar shortly before discovering this band. My progress on it skyrocketed when I obsessively learnt all of the riffs and solos.

No. 2: Interview from The Face (2002) – Drunk Julian Interview

Here we have an interview captured during revealing mind state of Julian’s. Although a lot of it comes across as ramblings we get a glimpse of Julian’s innermost thoughts and insecurities as the drunk mind speaks sober thoughts. We can understand the outbursts in the interview as this was a young man being shot into fame with as much negative attention as positive. https://www.shesfixingherhair.co.uk/blog/interviews/interviews-the-face-2002

No.3 A Conversation With The Strokes

Another classic! What makes this one great is being able to see the banter of the band first hand – they truly have fantastic chemistry.

Top 3 Iconic Performances:

No.1 Oxygen (2006)

Just… Wow! With additions such as ‘Ize of the World’ and ‘Vision of division’, from the 3rd album ‘First Impressions of Earth’, this performance is imbued with electric character and is treasured and frequently revisited by fans.
