The Fvck were these people Cosplaying Our Generation and Cultures ?

These people emulating Our Parent's Cultures were fvcking weiird

Literally one of the most overrated bands of all time

He bought some New hair about 8 years ago too.

i love your narration style. very unique as if you're not reading it. keep on that

Psc

Is that you in the tymb

how can you compare The Velvet Underground with The Strokes?

He was a ketamine addict as well took it like him out of friends did but shot himself up

Yours To Keep is a 10/10 album. I can't believe how underrated AHJ is as a solo artist.

I’ve been recently getting into this era of music and watching these kinda enhance the music. Thanks

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.

poor little rich boy

Been addicted to heroin n fentanyl for 25 of my 42 years. To the brink doesnt even sum it up... i been to the brink and then got in rocket ships n hot the red button so many times... so lucky to be alive

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 .

Opiates are the worst of all imo.

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!

Not for nothing, but these guys always had money and they're in NYC, which unfortunately has the best, cleanest shit around.

These guys were all born rich. For Christmas their dad's pulled together and bought them a band.

Saw the Strokes in 2006 in Boston. You could tell some of them were struggling, but still fantastic show. They played Last Nite near the beginning and closed with Take It Or Leave It

In the 2000s we glorified rock star behavior such as Pete's. And by running out to stadiums whenever someone from the 2000s goes on a nostalgia tour, we STILL DO (or acknowledge that part of us still exists)

He’s a colossal Douche

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.=

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.

Attempting to detox while on the road from heroin - having to perform each night. You will lose everytime.

Iggy Pop has three words of advice to anyone starting to do well in music: stick to weed.

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?

I still absolutely adore his fantastic underrated debut solo album 'Yours To Keep' :-)

whens the next video i kind of need it happy holidays

Played in wrinkle 1997-2001 (placebo dinosaur jr nada surf band), Ross joined on drums. Ry got engaged and was gonna moved to Chicago. Gary changed his mind and 2002 became the cribs changed their sound to strokes/ pavement/ huggy bear etc. cribs were an art noise from Gaz n ry at Wakefield and Barnsley college. Just used that name the cribs from the project.

One of the best bands to emerge from the 2000s. The diversity and quality of their catalogue of songs is incredible : hard rock, punk, blues rock, shoegaze, folk, country, blues, psychedelic, gospel, pop...

Regina is a genius

Amazing band, criminally underrated

my fave band for the last 11 years... they're incredible live and very sweet in person too!

Crap Aussie Nirvana wannabes, similar to the equally-crap Silverchair. This was around the time that the NME was desperately hyping any band that came along in the vain hope that they would magically turn out era-defining music. To this day, I'm not sure if they were cynically pushing music they knew was rubbish, or if their writers genuinely couldn't tell good music from bad. I mean, a couple of years prior to this, they tried to convince their readership that Terris (remember them) were the next big thing. I bought Highly Evolved on the strength of the rave reviews it got and, even with my tempered expectations, I was quite stunned that it wasn't even crap. It was worse than that - staggeringly mediocre. Bang-average songs produced and polished within an inch of their existence, airless sounds, plodding drums, thin "punk" guitar and weedy screaming. Oh, and crap cod-ska. I mean, listen back to "Highly Evolved", "Outtatheway", "Get Free" or "1969" - they're awful. Perhaps the antiseptic sound of the album wouldn't have been a factor if the tunes were any good, but Mr Nicholls just wasn't a particularly good songwriter. To compare him to Kurt Cobain as a writer is frankly ridiculous. They didn't have the goods to live up to the hype and the second album, and every subsequent one, predictably bombed. I quite like Autumn Shade, though.

I remember seeing Harmonic Generator on TV in the early 2000s and it's been stuck in my head ever since. That moment started to change my pre-teen musical tastes and I realized that there was something more interesting going on than the nu-metal that was popular at the time

Well this is complete bollox. I got it when it came out but it was hardly a smash hit. I was a bit non plussed at first thinking seems a bit out of date as britpop was 6 years ago. Even 2 years the only real impact was a few people wearing the red army jacket - hardly a cultural revolution. The average joe if he knew him at all just knew him as the guy who advertised being a junkie. I was a fan at the time but no one discussed his music or lyrics it was all a freak show. By the time they had achieved their peak with 2nd album they finished soon after anyway so were 'on top' ir relevant for about 4 or 5 months tops

I remember listening to VHS Beta, Cut Copy, The Bravery, New Young Pony Club,The Raveonettes and of course the bigger bands. Those were the days.

Thank you!! Still recovering from yesterday's post show blues and found your vid 😂

Great song with the best bass line! I just love it! 😊

Jack white is a cool dude

The one man band guy sounds better.

One of the worst bands ever

This band deserve to be so much bigger than they were/are

I want to hear the cover of the song, not your inane ramblings

That is record is a quality LP top to bottom...

Favours for Favours is their best track.

class video as usual, and this song just has that perfect early indie feel and sound. I love Kate Bush, but this is better than the original.

There's a really good, detailed account from someone who was there and witnessed it unfold on the website Everything2, can't link on here of course but easily found if you Google 'Everything2 Leeds festival riots'. This person says it started with a bunch of people just mindlessly setting fire to things, then it escalated when the riot police showed up and started baton charging, beating and arresting random people who were just standing nearby. Also apparently there were nasty riots in 2000 and 2001 and the festival was lucky to still be held at Temple Newsam in 2002.

Decent Days and Nights is a personal favorite of mine as I heard it while playing Burnout Revenge years back, though Hounds of Love is a strikingly beautiful track in of itself
