Babyshambles - Gang Of Gin (live)

[fuckamericanidiot]

good title, not a diss by the way

[bevyk777]

Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of the saying, "the calm before the storm"... or 'the eye of the storm" when things get quiet for a few minutes before all #@$ breaks loose.

[aid345]

pat and gemma days were easily the best

[timpotter]

Maybe Pat AND Mik - they would be good complements to each other!

[iamcerniera]

one of the best shambles song for me to!

[LordJonnyCharlie]

I knew this song was Walden-era but I never know it was as old as Gemma-era!!!!

[mamagehtessen]

i like mik.

[sandriomusic]

you love mick, i love patrick walden

[southgower]

pat is such a fucking great guitarist

[timpotter]

Wish they'd get Pat back... is it possible?

[Mirrorkissers]

@timpotter

if there are drugs around, no. pat is a recovering addict and he has said he doesnt want to be involved if drugs are there

[scallion]

this is off dvd int it??

[rocknrollDoll89]

love this song :)

[smartiesaresexii]

bu meh

[scallion]

[STIFTESSER]

That's the forum post mentioned in the song:

tinyurl^com/d7arz4

replace the ^ with a dot.

Amazing song!

[rockyrobin79]

One of my favorite Shambles songs!!!!!!

[Vogelfrei777]

On which album is it?

[fugitive29]

it's not on any album... i don't believe it was ever officially released as a single or anything either, but i got an mp3 of it off albionarks

[Rageagainst20]

It was banned from release because Alan McGee kicked off

[copernico001]

Pat is a God

[aMpMusicRocks]

is this clip from the 'up the shambles' DVD?

[drgrl]

Altho this song has the ska/reggae beat that makes it so catchy ,I love the ever- so menacing undertone happening in Pat Walden's opening be fore Peter starts singing.

[thraxed1]

bloody hell the lyrics to this song are pure genius

[libertineurdu69]

Good cop +10000

[GoodCopBadCop91]

Great song!

Not sure many people will agree with me on this but I really beleive Babyshambles dies the day Walden left. Mik changed the bands sound so much (for the worse) that its like a different band now

BRING PAT BACK!

[alanor1]

im not usally one to bother to care.....but are right....

[kungshu07]

totally agreed!

[kidsintheriot2]

This is one of there best songs i reckon, shame they apparantly couldn't use it cos of who it referenced!

[cabaretbride]

Im just glad pete didn't change the name of mcgee to release this song, that would of been selling out, baddd. Luv this song though

[amoruah]

Who does it refer to? Whats wrong about it?

[lancecoutts26]

this live versions way better tho, definatly

[itsmeJTke]

BRING BACK THE WALDEN!!!!!!!!!

[loula89]

[alexthemod1]

[metalica188]

[zanna500]

[Jason70988]

Who's the drummer??

[TIMPA921209]

gemma clarke

[halfdeadthirdalive]

This song is the best.

The lyrics are so honest and raw.

Fantastic

[steve987]

female drummer thats cool

[4Direction]

This song is amazing.

[halfdeadthirdalive]

Seconded

[stocko]

pete ur amazin

u r the indie god!!!

[lubydub]

thats crazy!! i heard things about that before. but how can mcgee even take legal action? there could be thousands of people name mcgee

[meena315]

you can get it as an mp3. you just have to google the song and some website will have it.

[filoktetes]

FOR ME IS GOD

[therrrry]

PeteDoherty... ahhhhhhh...<3 Best Singer 4 evaa!!! I LOVE HIM!!!

[halfdeadthirdalive]

Calm down fan girl :)

[alexturnerr]

Yippiiiiiiiiiii peeeeeeeeete!!!!!!!

[TheOriginalCaptain]

They're not allowed to release the track due to it mentioning McGee; he threatened legal action

[lancecoutts26]

i did manage to find a proper recording of it tho?!

[TheOriginalCaptain]

Yeah, you can download it off the internet, but it was never allowed to be properly released, with people paying money for it and cds in HMV and all that

[ceaszxcv]

what does it refer to

[willd255]

alan mcgee, and carl

still cant see why they cant release it though. so what if it mentions mc gee?

[TheOriginalCaptain]

I haven't listened to it in ages but I think one of the lines was 'McGee does all he can to ruin my band and keep me out the way'. I think that was one of the lines that prevented its release. Obviously because thats a bit slanderous...

[hardriffs]

definitely isn't.

[zellerxm8]

it has been released its on down in albion

[TIMPA921209]

gang of gin is not on "down in albion"

[lancecoutts26]

where can i download this song from, please someone help

[oldscool10]

this song only owrks becasue of Pat's guitar playing, listen his ghostly riffs, bring Pat back Pete!

[burnzgotshot]

I was talking to bloke on a building site i was workin on. He couldn't belive doherty was 6'4". I had to say 'no, Carl barrett isn't a midget' He seemed offended that doherty managed to get in with Kate Moss. 'That fucker needs a bullet in his head' he said.

I dont know about a bullet but some one should give him a kick up his arse.

Seeing as he can write beltin tunes like this

[footballgeezer9192]

great song - im a cunt cos noone deserves to be dead. What can i do?

[everyruddyword]

pete is a cunt. no other word to descibe him. sorry if I offend, but anyone offended is also a cunt. Tallentless prick, filthy,dirty scumbag. No self control says it all. Doesn't deserve to be alive

[nokialounge]

Why waste ur time writing such a moronic comment just because he is a drug addict cant take anything away from his songwriting abilities and the only reason i can assume why you decided to voice your opinion is

[nokialounge]

because u have no talent especially in english due to ur spelling mistakes, who do u think u r to decide who lives on earth, you my chum are a small minded individual who rather than liking a musician for their music u decide on their private life altough im

[nokialounge]

not standing up for his addiction but the majority of amazing music was produced by drug addicts, i bet my bottom dollar u appreciate Nirvana's music yet dare i say it Mr cobain was on heroin and yet the media hold

[nokialounge]

his musical legacy in extreme high regard,Im not offended by your opinion but i am offended but the size of your brain which is obviously minniscule so if that makes me a cunt, then heh im a cunt, but if indeed i am a cunt what the fuck does that make you, But in my opinion u r a little twat who cannot make your own opinions

[TheOriginalCaptain]

Why is he a cunt?

You sound like a cunt.

[rx620]

I think pat would have been better if pete had also played guitar when he was in the band. pat is too unstable that without a 2nd guitarist he leaves to many holes in the sound. i think mick is better but pat would be better if pete had also played guitar in the band

[Richmostranglove]

i think mick is better than pat because he brings more stability. pat was around when doherty was at his lowest and micks reggae sound brings the best out of pete.

[TheOriginalCaptain]

Theres stability and then there is boring. Personally I think he's boring, but then I suppose everyones tastes are different. The good thing with Pat was he also helped write some decent songs. Where as Mick's little invention was I Wish, which I don't really think is any good.

[cornpopsandacid]

i want pat back. its just not the same with out him...

[joeymadden420]

Why does pete not play guitar anymore, I thought he was a pretty sick guitarist in The Libertines.

[bobbi182]

hes still playing but at this time when pat was in the band

pat was such an extraordinary guitarist that no one needed pete

[letsmaketea]

I love every bit of this band.

Because it takes everyone to make really good music, not just the frontman.

[paynter4england]

everyone seems to hate mick. i dont mind him! he aint spectacular but he fits for babyshambles! x

[TheOriginalCaptain]

I find him boring, where as Walden is the most exciting guitarist around. Plus Pat helped write some of the better Shambles tracks

[WillRock]

pat's style is so much more fitting for babyshambles. he plays much more loose, and agressive, and really shambolic. Mick is like i dont even know... he's no paul weller if thats what he thinks he is.

[flealex]

wonderful!

[sevaxser]

this is a really good song made by a talented musician. Let's not talk shit about Mick, he's a brilliant guitarist, maybe not as good as Pat but Pat's in jail for assaulting his girlfriend. And he quit the group so there's not very much to do about it. Enjoy the music

[lagman50]

kate on drums

[octoberapple]

that's gemma.

[lagman50]

apparently jail

[ludvik199t]

pat is Amazing, i want he's hair and guitarskills

[xgrowl]

Brilliant video there.

Pat is amazing here. Great guitarist. Babyshambles were better with him, not whith Mick Whitnal.

[TheOriginalCaptain]

If Pete took a little less of the drugs and Pat was back in the band then Babyshambles could almost be as good as The Libertines.

[letsmaketea]

Would be. Maybe even better.

Okay maybe not better.

But I still love em.

[vicar0in0a0tutu]

pat's brilliant here

[psnk0002]

fuckin good song

[Malyorus]

Yeah pat is very good on this one, the lil distorsion sounds nice. Pete is good aswell tho he seems kinda high.

[loula89]

bring back pat and his skills not his habits...

[suffokated]

Come Back Pat!!!

[Onelovefeeble]

lmao pete at around 57 seconds in

[shelleyop26]

Bring back Pat!!!

[LambrettaofAlbion]

OH-MY-GOD! Pat is so great on this song! They should change the lyrics and start playing it again!

[flockian]

best walden ever!

[oli717]

Pretty sure walden only makes acoustics

[fugitive29]

one of my favorite BabyShambles tunes, and fucking amazing performance as well, thanks so much for the posting!

[ijustlovehim]

I recognized first, that they have a really good guitarrist. I like the song

[carltonlibertine]

i love this song its a shame he doesnt play it anymore i think its the lyrics

[TheOriginalCaptain]

I love this track, and the lyrics are great, if a little slanderous, he was obviously in immense denial when he wrote it

[verooo18]

agreed. But I'm sure some of it is true, especially the part about carl being sedated. but thats just my opinion lol

[verooo18]

agreed. But I'm sure some of it is true, especially the part about carl being sedated. but thats just my opinion lol

[LambrettaofAlbion]

No, I agree. Carl and DPT are making pretty lame music compared to babyshambles, all macho and stuff.

[texyrock]

whats with the lyrics?

[yescoraisaguitarist]

He wrote down what he felt and if I were him I would have felt very hurt too. If someone hurt you you don't call him your very best friend and only say the best about him, do you?

[abcabc112]

dont like that anti-carl-lyrics! but great song though

[Gronevelt]

Performed where? & WHen???

[moreno116]

good one here

[ShinMike]

woo i signed the site lol, pete must read our petitions!

[DirtyPrettyLover]

Love this song so much =]

Gang of gin is actually what i call my best friends haha

xx

[mrsdoherty]

[Jaremi]

They can't get rid of it, it's ace!

[mrsdoherty]

omg ilove this song! THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING IT!! ITS MY FAVE SONG IN THE WORLD!! My nick names after it...Gin...

[hunter1]

Does anyone know what video this is from? On Albion Arks?

[tourettesman]

yeah one of the best!!!

[ShinMike]

RIP to this song =(

[mastershake337]

Why is it RIP?

[ShinMike]

cause i believe he doesnt wants to play the song again, cause of the lyrics(that he regrets about writing it), others said mcgee threated him with legal actions, cause of the lyrics again; best track never released

[chrishart1983]

Can't play it as Mik is shit. He can't play Pat's parts. You'd just change the lyrics wouldn't ya ?
