I hear ya, but you got things wrong; the drummer in this vid is a stand-in, since they didn't have a real drummer in the band as of that time. See, their first drummer, Michael Tapper, left the band, and until they hired they guy on Letterman (Adam Aaronson), they borrowed this guy.
I'm pretty confused right now. :P Yeah, I love the libertines drummer, I honestly didnt recognise him... (note to self, watch full video b4 commenting. lol)
I think they mean Adam,he usually drums with them since last November the only times he doesn't is the odd TV performance and when he got married.He is a great drummer and fits with the band perfectly will be very sad if he's replaced.
Personally I think the album is really good but this isn't the best song, that is most definitely the haunting 'Ghouls' - which I listen to on repeat.
listening to their new album was a big disappointment. it seemed like they lost their essence, but watching their live performance has restored my interest in them. can't wait till they tour north america.
Heard the new album all the way through, its so good guys.I promise you'll love it, all the songs are so infectous and catchy, a great album worthy of winning like everything!
I miss Max Hart from the W.A.S. shows... :/

God, I miss Tapper. I seriously think that he is one of the finest drummers alive today... This new guy just seems so bland in comparison.

"new guy"? by new guy do you mean GARY POWELL? It would do you some good to look up Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things.

Good performance, were great in bristol on weds too, they do miss tapper though! He was one of the best drummers around by a distance!
midrifftheband 3 years ago
Yeah, but here they have Gary Powell of Libs / Dirty Pretty Things fame, who's another excellent drummer.
goshou 3 years ago
yeah, but tapper was more complicted and creative in his drumming than Powell.
I have nothing against the Libs or Dirty Pretty Things, i like them, but tapper is better, fact.

I miss Tapper too, he was actually an amazing drummer. His off-beat style for the drums is very hard to duplicate and it sounded great with the band.

I don't think he's their new drummer, he's Gary Powell, he already plays for Dirty Pretty Things.

True, but he could split time.
Kind of like Albert Hammond Jr does with his solo thing and The Strokes.
