For a long time I didn't want to do a solo thing, but there comes a point where everyone else is going outside of The Strokes and The Strokes filtering process.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been solo since 1996, so I've been doing it for a while now.
I've performed solo for 20 years now, but I don't do much of it, because if you only play alone, you go crazy and out of tune and play foolish music.
Soloing was pretty easy for me because it was probably the first thing I've ever done.
People sometimes ask if I want to be a solo artist, but it just wouldn't be any fun being on your own.
If I'm going to go out to be a solo artist, it's because I want to do something different without having to wait on someone else's schedule or hobbies or be limited by other people's prejudices. I'd be kind of stupid not to exercise that.
I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.
I've never done a solo tour. I feel like getting out there and doing that.
I think that was the whole idea behind doing the solo record was to be able to do musically whatever I wanted to do.
No, I do it all, but I do love to play solo.
The thing for me is I never had this burning desire to do a solo record my whole life.
