  • this is so amazing

  • I love how Carl holds and swings the guitar..

  • you can't compare The Libertines and Oasis both completely different bands . Pete Docherty might be a junkie but at least he doesn't go around punching people and generally acting like a knob . The Libertines have got the swagger of The Clash and the look of the Ramones what with the tight leather jackets , If I had to choose between Oasis and Libertines it would be the latter I'm 33 and was around when Cigarrettes and Alchohol came out , good album but not great . Great is Beatle great lol

  • Nice dance moves at 2:22 - great song

  • GARY FUCKING KICKS MAJOR ASS!

  • it looks like carl is wearing eyeliner.. 0:43

    Love this song.

    Love the libertines.

  • They scream and they shout for...

    For the boys in the band!!!

  • They scream and they shout for...

    For the boys in the band!!!

  • Lets not compare the libertines and oasis they're both amazing!

  • @thabigrhys why does everyone compare bands couldnt agree more with your comment you cant argue oasis are an awesome band they defined the 90's generation in the same way libertines have for the 00's for the record tho OASIS!!! then libertines awesome bands though!!!

  • can someone help? what guitar is pete Playing? i know its an epiphone but whats is called?

  • @Alexbandits Its an epiphone olympic.

  • @favre4ever1995  Thanks!!!!!

  • @Alexbandits its an epiphone coronet

  • looking at the comments i would say this is a marmite band.... and i clearly do not get the appeal.

  • Fantastic, Beatles-esque, song writing! I don't understand how they (Pete in particular) are often accused of being talentless, yet can write songs of an almost unrivalved quality.

  • @chalkie2800 from my perspective, they just seem really meh.... not great guitar, singing and not that catchy. the bass is alright. compare this to arcade fire this sounds like a broken guitar falling down some stairs, but like i said its my opinion.

  • @thatcoulhavebeenfun I agree with you to the extent that the instrumentation is messy, and also in as much that Arcade Fire are one of the best, and definitely the tightest, band around today. Listen to an Arcade Fire record and everyone is exactly on the beat. Did you catch them at Reading? Incredible. But I don't see how this can not be conceived as catchy, re listen to the chorus and tell me it isn't stuck in your head! Also thanks for your polite response, so many people are just rude!

  • @chalkie2800 na, i was unable to go unfortunatly, but i know their great live! and sorry, i did re listen and is still have the same opinion. i like nearly everything, from classical, to Dubstep to heavy metal to alternative, but this sort of, half arsed, sloppy style just doesnt appeal to me, just like baby shambles, the vines, sex pistols ( i know their quite rocky) and to some extent the Strokes, however, room on fire is an incredable album. but the rest of their stuff is meh. and no probs.

  • Possibly the only band I've ever seen who has had got the crowd really going on Jools Holland

  • The best lyrical band since The Smiths

  • @Westy91 If you ignore the Manics with Edwards

  • @didz83 agreed, the manics were the shizzz back then.

  • The band rock's!!!

  • Pete is such a great backup singer!

    Just listen to Vertigo aswell as this song....fuckin amazing!

  • Whens Pete gonna sing one cos this guy well his kind of shite

  • I can't wait to see them in Leeds!

  • oasis and the libertines are completely different bands, oasis is brit pop, the libertines are indie. Oasis appeal to a bigger audience because they aren't 'drug influenced' like pete, BUT, the libertines have written by far the best lyrics. The media love to manipulate people and exploit doherty's negative side of life with his drug addiction which is harsh. I think oasis had their time and the libertines were the best british band of 2004 by far. Nothing topped what's the story morning glory.

  • @quickshot2010 whats the story morning glory was drug influenced just that not many people realise. The first two lines of the song say it all!

  • What pisses me off is that they credit te Libertines with what the Strokes did in therms of influence.British fans are so petty,they should reallybe ashamed. In the sixties and 70's they went on and on and OOOON About silly chart position. Malcom Mc Clarren managed to make The Ramones and Patti Smith and all tat irrelevant because they were too american to be"punk",and in the 90's, Albarn was going on about british music when Curt Cobain and Thurston Moore OWN his silly happy clappy british arse

  • well did you know Kurt Cobain was originally from Sheffield?! yea sorry, who owns who?? Typical american, take something british and claim it as your own

  • @Libertinedreamful

    sure...he was from aberdeen/washington...wasn't he??

  • @gloff94 well that whats everyone was lead to believe, but really he lived in sheffield with his dad before they got into a big fight so he moved to america with family, he was still very young

  • @Libertinedreamful well, he clearly grew up in the u.s. and drew his inspiration almost entirely from other american groups.

    typical brit to suppose that the englishness of something is the factor that made it so great and to accuse americans of being any number of undesirable traits that you, in fact, are displaying yourself.

  • clearly you havent read who i was replying to in the first place! an american that was saying how american musicians are far more superior. so actually you have just added to the equation. jumping to conclusions, typical

  • @Libertinedreamful well, if it's any consolation, i don't think that american musicians are better. better is such an subjective term. american musicians are good at taking two things that shouldn't work together and making something that sounds really raw and interesting and british musicians are very good at taking that raw, jumbled up mess and perfecting it and making something beautiful.

    i suppose i did jump to conclusions but it's not my fault. really! it's this crazy youtube layout.

  • @ashoftomorrow yea i know exactly what you mean dude!

  • @Libertinedreamful Dude, please tell me you're trolling.

  • Why 4:3?

  • you don't understant anithing

  • Who these guys are Julian?...

  • Dig out Your Soul and Dont Believe the Truth are great albums so shut up!

  • That is soooo true. Especially Dig Our Your Soul, that's one of the best Oasis albums!

  • @HonkyCat90

    but does it compete with their first two?

  • Well, I wouldn't say it's better, but it gets close

  • threse great bands and then theres fucking great bands. Sais Noel Gallagher.

  • ahahah that is the best line i've ever heard.

  • Noel Gallagher is the biggest bitch to walk the face of the earth. who gives a fuck what he says.

  • actualy thats liam gallagher, noels the alright one...

  • @desasterz he said that in the seven ages of rock interviews right

  • @desasterz that was an awesome program

  • How can anyone compare The Strokes to the Libertines?

    The Libertines wrote songs that Julian Casablancas would have a wet dreams over.

  • Dude it's the other way around, both great bands so it really doesnt matter

  • @Ulmeyda08 The Libertines and Babyshambles are more focussed, the Strokes are just a band doing their thing and being friends, the Libs had complicated situations to write about, they were like tramps playing music to keep warm, thats why they got so intense... otherwise i dont think they would be better... By the way, i respect the strokes for listening to Marquee Moon wile MTV played rubbish...

  • @desasterz what do you mean they had complicated situations to write about?

  • What do you mean what do I mean they had complicated situations to write about? Havn't you herd the second album? And don'tyu know what split up the band?

  • You can compare the two because they are both great bands. And Julian Casablancas is also a great writer, so i'm sure the wet dreams were mutual. Both are great, no reason to compare.

  • Like this?... You may like A Band Called Bert

  • Trex-Get It On.= cigarettes and alcohol

    Lyla= street fighting man

    Lots of artists have done similiar but oasis are repeat offenders.

    Libs are far better! in there 2 years of being signed they came up with gold . oasis brought out definitely maybe in 1994!

  • The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet = Don't Look Back Into the Sun

  • This band is obviously a better band than Oasis. Fantastic, FANTASTIC group!

  • fuck off. they havnt got half the status oasis do. and if the do its cus of pete being a rich british cunt

  • @Ev1ta ahahahaha funny

  • @Ev1ta Are you nutS?? Seriously, are you NUTS??? I'm not man, so I can see the differences between the 2 bands, and in final terms OASIS stand WINNER !!!!!

  • @Ev1ta they are not better that oasis or noel, better than beady, yes.

    but dont get me wrong these guys are one of my favorites.

  • oasis made 1 great album libertines made 2 and WILL make more

  • oasis R SHIT! I always thought they were shit then i went to see them and got hit in the face wiva bottle of piss! ruined my make up, bruised my cheek and generaly offended me! Libertines are soooooooo the best U R VERY CORRECT!

  • ONE great album?!?!?!?

    You dont sell out every venue you play in if you only made ONE great album mate

  • sex pistols did, oasis did. stone roses did.

  • libertines are a GREAT GREAT GREAT band.

    but....its a fact that doherty cant sing, and barat is not much better. nor were they particularly good singers on studio versions

    they can be very difficult to listen to when you can barely make out the lyrics

  • its rock nn roll not fucking x factor. pete can sing slow love songs or fast songs pus he writes them all. hes the best. go and die you uneducated turd

  • oh i do apologise....i was always taught that singers were supposed to be abe to sing.

    apparently i'm incorrect.

  • 1. pete and carl can sing

    2. its what there saying not how they say it3. when have you ever heard a rock and roll band with a lead singer who sings like a angel????? its fucking rock n roll

  • yes.

    Noel gallagher, Liam gallagher in his younger days, alex turner, Mccartney, Damon Albern, Hawkins, Bowie, weller.

    do i need to go on....really?

  • lool liam gallegher sings like hes constapated. look mate im not saying petes the best singer in the world but hes a better songwriter and singer than all the wannabes that you mentioned, wellors good but the rest overrated

  • the argument actually was, that none of the libertines coud sing.

    song writing didnt come into it.

    but eeing as you brought it up; Noel gallagher is the best songwriter to come out of britain since mccartney, if the libertines were so good, they wouldnt have stolen many chord sequences from oasis songs.

  • lmfao loool noel the best songwriter since mcartney?????? 1 album wonder. oasis were shit and beatles were overrated. dohertys the best songwriter since morrisey, morriseys the best since ray davies. noel gallegher is overrated.

  • you continually say '1 great album'....which one do you speak of, because everyone knows all their albums are great.

    morrisey is a good song writer yes, but doherty isnt even in the same league

  • mate you havnt got a clue. dohertys the most important and best songwriter of the last 20 plus years. im not staying to argue your boring me you know nothing

  • ....i havn't got a clue?

    who the fuck do you think you are.

    just because i'm talking sense and you obviously are having grave difficulty arguing with me, you are clearly struggling to keep up the argument so you're backing down.

    loser

  • talking sense? talking shit more like. im going to work love to stay and argue but ive got a ife. bye

  • MarkyNova 1

    Frenchielcfc 0

    better luck next time (Y)

  • stole chord sequences? name one then????? none of libertines songs sound like oasis. your talking dribble.

  • name one?

    Dont look back into the sun uses the same chords as Whatever

    Time for heros uses the same chords as she's electric and married with children.

  • im sure you could name other songs in g and d that dosnt mean they stole th chords from oasis. im sure they didnt invent the g c

    chord. lol your a first class cunt. jog on you prick

  • excuse me, but YOU told me to name libertines songs which use the same chords IN THE SAME ORDER as oasis, which i did.

    and when i did, you act all sarchastic about it.

    yes, i'm a first class cunt, who has just owned you in an argument,

    i long for the day for someone to be as good an arguer as me =/

    however today that has not happend,

    maybe next time (Y)

  • there not in same order mate i play guitar. go on ultimate guitar tabs . com. oh and after that. HANG YOURSELF

  • they are in the same order, oh you think i would be arguing about it if i didnt pay the songs myself....=|

    get a clue.

  • look oasis have never made a song that dosnt rip a beatles song off. atleast libs make the songs more exiting and totaly different. oasis songs are just diluted beatles songs

  • ah, futhur proof of your lack of sense.

    everyone says that oasis rip off the beatles where ever they can and that all oasis songs are ripped off beatles songs, however, up until now noone has named one,

    here we go, your big moment, name ONE oasis song that has ripped off a beatles song....

  • the start of dont look back in anger is a famous beatles track. they also tried to release a song from a unreeased beatles album and claimed it as there own but got sued for it by a beatles tribute band who had copywright to it. check it out on the internet. im going now lol

  • so, they used the beatles in one song....which was a two chord pattern in the into o the song and not used anywhere else, and no they did not try to release it as their own, they tried to put it on a B-side but didn't have the rights to do so.

    WHOOOOOOOOO

    again, you have failed

  • no there are no more.

    that is it, one 2 chord pattern

    L-O-S-E-R

    come back and chat again when you feel as though you can face me in an argument, pffft you're 20...im 17....dont you feel inadequate =/

  • ...oasis have written quite literally hundreds and hundreds of songs....and you have just named about 10 bars of music which is the same....you're really doing well arguing your case that oasis haven't written a song which includes elements of beatles music.

    loser

  • infact, to futhur prove it, i shall upload a video of the songs in question and how you the copied chord sequences. (Y)

    Buffoons like yourself clearly need visual aids (Y)

  • lol too much time on your hands mate. like i said im off to work. feel free to sit here arguin at nothing for the rest of the day

  • oasis is not more than a bad pussy

  • dont you dare put the fuckin kooks in same category as the libs strokes monkeys dick head

  • greatest band of the decade...uk stylie

  • who cares, artic monkeys, the libertines, teh strokes, the kooks they are all great bands for different reasons. we all have different opinions and if we didnt ilife wud be horrible.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah i agree. i loved AM's second album!! maybe even more than the first. and they have the best bsides.. i think they have more bsides than songs on albums haha cant wait for the new one. i wish i could go to the Reading Festival in the summer as they're headlining. :/

  • Comment removed

  • Libs 4E

  • not sure we will see anything quite as good as these for a long time yet. i hope they get back together again but only if they are going to produce something amazing again. it would break my heart for them to come back with something lackluster, which im sure they wouldn't anyway. but hey lets just enjoy it at least we still have the memories and these videos :D

  • eh Strokes were better

  • legend

  • You think im joking when i say id kill someone to be one of then microphones...But im really not.

  • hablas como si supieras peliar libertines the best indie rock XG

  • como se llama esta cancion ?

  • BOYS IN THE BAND

  • was making the aspect ratio really thin a stylistic choice?

  • On this clip they are perfect. Pete w/o Carl and Carl w/o Pete is kind of awful, especially compare to this. They try hard, but

  • They had the perfect formula: the good looking sneering a-hole(Carl) and the good looking stoned angel.(Pete) Together they were hot and sexy. Now they each try to lead their own bands, but they are surrounded y non-charsimatic, non-showmen musicians.

  • 2:52 nice shot :D

  • i love how the camera man is like, look a black guy in a rock band! plus, pete is never on camera, if only they knew.....

  • i know you luv the roll of a limousine wheel"

    classic

  • It's not the same without Pete...

  • oh...he's there xD

  • the start of the song makes u think its kinda mellow, but then the riffs really kick in and its got this mischevious feel to it instantly, awesome!

  • amazing song, but no where near music when the lights go out

  • the thing is theyre different type of songs how can u compare them

    its like comparing scrambled eggs on toast and and a roast dinner =P

  • I FUCKING LOVE GARY!

  • gary's a beast haa

  • i need a poem

    dont know where i'm going

    a bong a cat and some string

    of a song

    eer4theboysintheband

  • nice,it sounds abit like the clash in places.i like it

  • yeah gary and john are highly under rated

    gary is an amazing drummer if you actually listen through the drums alone during songs its quite impressive

    same for john on bass.

  • Top quality bassist

  • in my opinion boys in the band is the greatest libertines song. Just the way the guitars and the singing combine. Fif you know what i mean

  • best bAND EVER not just peter and carlos but john and gary without one of them they would be a big difference

  • one is a gibson melody maker the other is an epiphone coronet

  • the libertines are single greatest creative force to exist, ever. a force of nature, their music isn't made by fingers or strings, but by sheer passion and clarity of expression.

  • ye i agree, julian, and the rest of the strokes, rock well more, their songs are so much more relaxed and good, libetines are also gods tho

  • fave song by the band!

  • a no pete is playing an epiphone

  • what geetar is carlos playing?

  • Its an Antique Gibson Melody Maker

  • Its a Vintage Gibson Melody Maker

  • puts it got an epiphone sticker squire you sure

  • i meant carls guitar

  • both the strokes and the libertines are influenced by a similar style of music called garage rock which began in the sixties neither copied either but the strokes are better technically and the libertines are better Lyrically

  • but after all libertines is the better band

  • and the libs had better passion and a perfect englishness to them something that hadnt happened for yonks

  • 100%agree

  • i like the strokes better overall.. i like their lyrics as well.. julian's gritty voice works for them. but i like this band too.. well kinda. i only like.. 2 songs by this band and the strokes like i love all their songs. and the strokes have more variety too.. like their 3rd CD its different but still ROCKS. i hate bands that have the same kind of music over and over like Cascada, ughh.

  • they're a bit different, the strokes have that relaxed feel to them which is great for just chilling out and the libertines have a feel like they're going 100 mph and it's a thrill, just depends on the mood for me on which is better

  • not all strokes songs are all relaxed. listened to juicebox.

  • carl always had hairs long!

  • How does Pete or Carl try to like like Julian?

    Because they have long messy hair?

    Julian Casablancas did not invent long messy hair

  • haha -6.

    it hurts cause its true.

  • Also, the lyrical content, delivery and song structure of both bands are totally different...therefore the only similarity is the messy hair and leather jackets!!

    Both great bands!!! Although for pure rawness the libertines edge it for me!

  • crowtkd you are way way off the mark with that comment. if you look hard enough you can find videos of early libertines songs from gigs around 1999, so how can u possibly say that they were influenced by the strokes??

    pete and carl have openly admitted that the strokes opened doors for bands like them but that doesnt mean they copied them!!

  • you punk

    he aint trying to loook like jules

    he just got a messy hair as julian

  • you're talking bollocks mate although the strokes are ok the libertines sound nothing like the strokes. The libertines supported the stokes once or twice but thats about it, they both were starting to get big around the same time. Pete Doherty trying to look like Julian Casablancas dont make me laugh! I'll wait forever for julian to write a song (that I can stay awake to!) thats anywhere as near as good as petes! u need to get ur tongue out of the strokes arses and get ur facts straight

  • wrong wrong wrong my friend, Strokes are pretty good, but libertines had the passion and the excitement the strokes can't quite muster

  • The Strokes have a different vibe about them. Honestly, I always see The Strokes as better than the the Libertines. I mean first of all, at least they are still together.

  • That doesn't make them better. Strokes are a good band but they're repetitive - it's more about the fact The Strokes were a breath of fresh air a few years ago. If they came along now noone would care, it's not that great. I am glad of them though, without them The Libs wouldn't have been discovered.

  • They're songs aren't the same.. FIOE was totally different from their first 2 albums. I can even see differences between ROF and ITI. Like their songs per CD had pretty similar styles, but it only got a bit repetitive in the first album. the others are more diverse. but it doesn't matter since everyone loved ITI anyways. If the Strokes didnt come out we wouldn't have alot of good bands, or they wont be as good. like arctic monkeys who were influenced by the strokes a lot.

  • read The Libertines Bound Togeter for the facts, you'll find out that the libertines were writin and gigging before the strokes came out, and when the strokes did come out, they were seen as the british equivelent.

  • You're comment was so stinking that it actually has te max amount of phumbs down...

  • I totally agree with crowtk13. and with people saying that the strokes have like less passion your are wrong my friends! just go to one of their concerts or just watch it on youtube and you'll see. anyways cant people just accept that there can be 2 good bands (tho The strokes are better honestly)

  • gotta love the libertines. even with petes antics. i love his antics especially back in the day when i saw them

  • anyone offends the libertines anymore and phil mitchell will be knocking on your door at the early hours of the mourning and he doesnt care if he wakes up ur mother to be honset he hopes he does

  • the thing with rock, its like you gotta do something different. who wants to hear you copy the last act! the libertines chnaged it again, therefore keeping rock alive and certainly inspiring new bands, including mine!

  • I have respect for every band, but when people start acting as though a extremely average band is a legend annoys me, I mean do these guys compare to the greats? hell no, thats all, they're not bad, but not legends as everyone here keeps on saying.

  • Just cause you can't appreciate good music doesn't make them any less of artists then you liking them. If they do infact make it into rock history(which they will) it's because of their chemistry as a band and how to entice an entire nation of blokes under their belt.
