The Resume

    (January 16, 1981- )
    Guitarist for The Strokes
    Appears on 'Is This It?' (2001)

Why he might be annoying:

    He has a history of shoplifting at big corporations and he still does it, even though he believes in karma.
    He smokes cigarettes.
    His girlfriend left him for a member of Weezer.
    His nickname is 'The Bird,' because band mates say he looks like Big Bird from Sesame Street.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He started playing guitar when he was only 5 years old.
    He is the youngest and tallest member of The Strokes.
    He attended Hunter College with his bandmate, Nikolai.
    His influences are Nirvana, Cars and Bob Dylan.
    When asked to choose between 'Sex, Drugs or Rock 'N' Roll?,' he said: 'Rock 'N' Roll, because you know the rewards. If you're going to try and be successful in music you've got to have a passion for it and sex and drugs is a kind of lame thing to be passionate about.'
