The Courteeners - Acrylic

[babydub77]

Another hot northern Liam I love <3

[wassup2011able]

a libertine is someone that is someone who ignores normal morals and decency, hence the band "the libertines" so h's apologizing for giving them the dream of that life

[EmILyGrACe3398]

LiamFrayiFuckingLoveYou!

[tayshouse1]

although old still one of their best!!! Haigh Hall was amazing!! cos they serve substandard gin!!!

[joewant]

the best bands are from the north! there is no argument to be had here. . .

[callumritchie]

whats he mean by he's sorry for the libertine dream??

[LAW12W]

@callumritchie

It's about bands who try to imitate The Libertines with wannabe Pete Doherty frontmen.

[Jarv0o]

[SomethingSimples]

woo i live in middleton! courteeners hometown

[amchris66]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz to all u talkers saying the same things over and over again with the same pretensious shit about proper grammer and shit.. top tunes tho :)

[SmithsnMoz]

Very Good Group!! I enjoy them!! But i must disagree with Morrissey... I do not believe they will be huge anywhere else besides the U.K.. No one else can really relate to what he sings about!!.... I really do like them though!! But it will be nice for Manchester fans to call them their own home made band.. but not much else!! Sorry.. just my opinion!

[TYCbass91]

absolutely shocked this only has 88,000 views, should be well over 1,000,000 at least, i remember being in the thick of this song live and coming out after with a bust nose smiling ha good times

[MrBowww1]

originally a libertine's song ?

[0baggers0]

@MrBowww1 Its a word meaning: 1. One who acts without moral restraint; a dissolute person. 2. One who defies established religious precepts; a freethinker.

[MrBowww1]

@0baggers0 What was this in response to? Can't remember posting on this video lol

[arm14strong]

i dont like this common band anymore, cos theyre not underground

[MrStarbuck123]

@arm14strong Then you only listen to music as a fashion

[sjcouzie]

I enjoy reading youtube arguements, it's the dogs bollocks.

[rockguru123]

Seriously... Does no one understand that this song isn't trying to copy the libs, the song is aimed at those bands who attempt to mirror the libs and this song shows anger at it.

[WrSReaper]

Courteeners <3

[kensberg]

CHILDREN CHILDREN ********do behave or santa will leave you a sack of coal ******** HA HA HA

[aqualovr9]

This song is so damn catchy. AAAH Get out of my head

[alouise32]

roll on dec in manchester cannot wait to see them again they were the best of the weekend at v fest this year!!!

[hubbardsbubbas]

@alouise32 they were very good!

[10TJ10]

FUCK THE COURTEENERS LONG LIVE THE LIBS!!

[scargill8]

@10TJ10 Can't you like both bands?

[10TJ10]

@scargill8 i could

but i dont

[Menz123451]

@10TJ10 You dumn cunt why say something like that to a amazing band and i will admit that they definitly arent good enough as the Libertines but dont go and disrespect them like that. Oh yeah Manchester Bands do Rule.

[10TJ10]

@Menz123451 Firstly: don't call me dumb if you can't spell it. The irony did make me laugh though.

Secondly: I don't like the Courteeners and I will publicly display my dislike to them regardless of your awfully unweighted argument that consists of abusive language and generic, meaningless statement's i.e 'Manchester Bands do Rule.'

Thirdly: that is all.

[Menz123451]

@10TJ10 What the fuck is wrong with you, looking at things overall i think that the courteeners are better than the liberteens or however the fuck you 'spell' it mate. More heart, more Soul.

By the way if you dont like em FUCK OFF.

[10TJ10]

@Menz123451

Menz, why do you call me 'mate?' I'm very clearly not.

Also i'd say 50% of what you just said bares no real meaning.

Try saying something original rather than regurgitating pathetic statements

you probably heard off some 90's hollywood film i.e. 'More heart, more soul.'

If you wrote with precision, intellect and flare i could easily believe you saying that, but your writing's quite the opposite. I fear that if you reply all you will do is further prove the points that i make.

[Menz123451]

@10TJ10 The only thing you can talk about is this statement, that statement. Thats all the fuck you can talk about cause your a sad fuck who cant take the fact that the the Curteeners are better than those liberteens. Also 'MATE' sorry if that hurt you and dont cry yourself to sleep. By the way i dont know what film you on about and how do you know anyway you waste of clay.

[FLSCarnage]

@10TJ10 you do know that this song is making fun of bands that tried to sound like The Libertines, right?

[10TJ10]

@FLSCarnage yes i do mr carnage

this is why i said what i said

[MrStarbuck123]

@10TJ10 What is the point? I mean really, What is the point in your existence? You just troll videos and and think that being a grammar nazi and calling other people stupid makes you clever. Please, life's short. if you don't like this band, why bother wasting your precious time watching their youtube videos and leaving pointless comments? Please, fuck off.

[Menz123451]

@10TJ10 Another dumb fuck who doesnt understand shit and just talks shit. Make sure you know what youre on about before you go on and talk about the Courteeners like that.

[10TJ10]

@Menz123451

menz, is that meant to be plural?

i do understand shit

and after reading your comment

you've further greatened my knowledge

on talking shit.

[CANTONA92]

@10TJ10 Sling it You cockney cunt. Manchester bands rule.

MUFC SALFORD

[10TJ10]

@CANTONA92 mr 92

dont make assumption on anon

its very likely i may not be a 'cockney'

or a 'cunt' (dont take the obivous comeback)

enjoy freezing your tits off this winter

hope hyperthermia goes well for you

[CANTONA92]

@10TJ10 To Me ,You appear to be a cockney. Not something to be proud of, We all know . I dont really care where You live or who You are. To Me , Youre a Cunt. An arrogant Cunt who cant spell ' Obvious'

Enjoying the 'Hyperthermia'

Mr 92

[10TJ10]

@CANTONA92 Making spelling suggestions when you don't know how to use grammar correctly, make's your reply completely redundant.

I miss typed a word.

You're just dumb-fuck-head!

[theseakingsmusic]

@10TJ10 Having just read your above comment about irony, I feel you may have missed the irony of your own post on how to 'use grammar correctly' then immediately cock up your grammar by typing 'make's', what's that apostrophe for?

Anyway, I concur. The Courteeners are god awful.

[dlove92]

@10TJ10 mate, the liberteens are shit

[10TJ10]

@dlove92 mate your comebacks shit

[dlove92]

@10TJ10 wasn't a comeback, was a simple fact. You come on here sayin stuff about this band, what is wrong with you?

[mottylad2]

@10TJ10 FUCK RENTBOY LEAD SINGERS!

[10TJ10]

@mottylad2 you want to 'FUCK RENTBOY LEAD SINGERS!'?

[PrettyGreen1970]

Saw them earlier this year and they were awesome. Liam reminds me of a young Paul WELLER. He has the swagger of a man who knows he has the songs and skills to back up his talk. Good to hear someone with an opinion too. St Jude is one top top album. I think this mob are going to be something special!

[MassiveBalloonKnot]

courteeners are greatest

[pimski]

love glazer hate united

[lea646]

love this so much, the fact that they ear slating all the bands that try to sound like the libertines is great! there's nothing worse that hearing a band trying to rip off the libs! XD

[EpicProWrestling]

Fans are obviously aware that this entire song and music video are just a blatent jab at all the Libertine-esque sounding bands that have made the rounds recently.

I'm only saying this, because I know a fair few people who have heard *JUST* this song, not spotting the irony. Then gone on to suggest a load of Libertine rip-offs as "AMAZING BANDZ!!!111!!" etc. Twats.

[david23021975]

my uncle in it

[nufctoon2k7]

what an anthem <3

[noelks1980]

this is that hidden track off there 1st album, 12 tracks then this is track 21?? great song

[ybot1983]

look and sound like theyve been put together by an AR committee very average

[lijikailasam]

if you like this you must listen to red right hands by the harlem shakes

[ybot1983]

i dont

[spudinskie1]

right buffaway the libertines are one of the best british bands to have come around. and pete doherty is a god

[g1lly2k6]

@spudinskie1 pete doherty is an awful excuse for a musician!

[thebestpathetic]

@g1lly2k6 spudinskie1 is completely correct, Pete is a god

[R9OEY]

@g1lly2k6 sums you up you useless excuse of a person

[sageshoe]

As Tony the TIGER would say"THE'RE GREAT!"

[JackyBoyo92]

..... as Tony the Tiger would spell, "They're great"

[Denis303]

love glazer hate united

[felix8989]

haha :D

[TheAcousticstaircase]

@Denis303 oohh deary deary me. love united hate glazier

[buffaway]

im not too clued up on this band, so not too sure, but from wat i quess, they r taking the piss outta crap bands like the liberines. heard morrissey talk bout them, thats y i looked them up, pretty good, hope they come to ireland

[Copey0009]

definitely sound like libertines with the small guitar parts between verses/choruses... (which isnt a bad thing)

[lea646]

@buffaway no they are not. they are taking the piss out of bands that are trying to make themselves into 'a libertine dream' by trying to rip off the libertine sound and if 'you were 13 i'd let you off, but you're not and you should know better' talking about grown men trying to obviously be the libertines. when you can't because they are legends!

[mcfc493]

love glazer hate united

[Matthewjameshall91]

i love this song. my favourite Courteeners song by a mile :)

[MrSirAlexFerguson]

love united hate glazer

[petemitcy772]

Yeh agree its very average-been checking out a few NME recommends for 2010 and its gettin worse rather than better.

Need a bit of Anarchy in the UK!!

[BRMC84]

I gave this a listen coz some of my mates rate them. but I've gotta say it sounds like they're about to break into a Libertines cover at any moment. or is this song meant to sound like that to take the piss outa other bands?

[JzBproductionz]

@BRMC84 sounds f uck all like the libertines u prat best band round at the minute

[BeccyWilliams]

Manchesters finest!!!! Brilliant band!!! Great concert in Manchester Dec 11th! And I travelled from Norway to see them:-D

[72warsaw]

shapeuphull...your prob a 13 yr old DIV..padds are qual

[FearGN]

Its funny how they are slagging off a band that they are a fucking carbon copy of!!!!!! hahahaha your all fucking idiots

[lea646]

@FearGN er yeah can't you tell they have done that on purpose for this song!

[supermcgannon]

@FearGN They're slagging of copies of The Libertines. They're not a carbon copy at all. With that logic everyone is 'a carbon copy' of The Beatles.

[miggybwfc]

saw them other week in Manchester fucking awesome FACT!

[JOOLLSBAX]

@miggybwfc YEP I was there with the other 9,999 people :-) AMAZING! Travelled from London to see em

[D1Zard]

why bother with bands like this?

They aint The Libertines and never will be.

do one.

[HanaBabye]

erm there better?

[andymcn1]

a love this band

[xoxoxAngelxoxox]

Still loving this song :)

[cloud306]

sounds like a worse version of the paddingtons or something

[ShapeUpHull]

pfttt, the paddingtons are fucking shit.

[jibbajabba18]

if you listen to this your gay haha i guess im gay

[arsecandle1]

ah the good old youtube arguments! cant anyone just listen and appreciate the music, if you dont like it then fuck off, courteeners are fuckin collosal enough said

[supermcgannon]

@arsecandle1 Good lad.

[laticsboi]

@arsecandle1 Pretty much what they sing in 'Fallowfield Hillbilly'

Love em

[89cheapmonday]

fycking? what the hell you on about mate.

you're obviously wearing your Oasis tinted glasses so you're goin around hating everything else that isn't them or the beatles. get to fuck or just enjoy the music, man.

[feedtheculture]

ok liamscokedealer, you;ve got no spine, please vacate this city of mine

[vickyloulou86]

Told

[rockguru123]

@liamscokedealer seriously pal, how many courteeners videos are you going to slag off before you give it a rest? Fair play you don't like them, then just don't watch the videos

[UrSoPrettyImSoShy]

well fuckin said pal!

[FuukTheHaters]

Why r u watching the video if you think the courteeners are shit?.. Fuk Off Haters!

[representjebber]

chill out people, just face the fact that the courteeners sound like every other indie band these days, just unoriginal and boring - listen to some shoegaze music and neo-psychedelic shit if u want expand ur mind; its more complex, more original and normally has a 60s influence, which we all kno was the probably best decade for music..

[xhes4saintx]

lol your a homo =] (Y)

[HeavenAndHellRecords]

lol what a loser comming onto a courteeners page and caling them original...dont see you selling many records you faggot

[representjebber]

well actually if u look more carefully i said UNoriginal - i came on to this page to see why people liked this band and i am still wondering...recordin our EP this month actually clever clogs, here's hoping people w/ a decent taste in music will buy it and appreciate it x

p.s. love u x

[HeavenAndHellRecords]

lol hes 4 saint is pritty right there tbh...you are a homo faggot

[UrSoPrettyImSoShy]

maybe we don't wanna expand our minds. and i think the Courteeners have unique sound and unique lyrics. They use different chords to most other indie bands. If you can name a few bands that they sound like, i'll withdraw my statement

[craig77776]

2.12 on wards that " da da dalyo" or wat ever he says sounds a bit like twisted wheel let them have it all, . dont get me wrong, im quite partial to a bit of the courteeners

[01stursa]

Libertines

The Smiths

Dont get me wrong though, I do like the Courteeners.

[memocsulb]

who would you recommend then? kinda curious. If you ever get a chance check out Zoe they are an indie band from Mexico with somewhat of a psych sound, great mixture of their sound.

[redarmy84]

people our allowed to have different opinions on music

it seems like half the people here just come on looking for pointless arguements

shudd upp and listen to the fookin tunnee !!

:D

[gazzvg1]

arctic monkeys are quality

[wazzalad]

Awesome

[stevendixon]

How can you even compare The Courteeners to them pricks Arctic Monkeys... Complete overated turd for 15 year old 'indie kids' or whatever they call themselves

[CasualPickle]

its indie child for the record

[UrSoPrettyImSoShy]

shurrup yr fuckin plank.

both bands are class, just accept it

[Jacd92]

ha i like all the comments saying what have the arctics changed their name to? it was a joke guys haha!

[leemorris94]

i know where people come from when they say the arctic monkeys and courteeners are similiar

The songs both have great lyrics and those who arent to familiar with the music will see them as similiar indy bands

But then the styles to the songs are completetly different,

[florence2345]

arctic monketys haven't changed their name, but alex turner is in another band called the last of the shadow puppets or something so i believe

[camthman1]

better live got better b sides, if they pull it off with second album that they do, everyone will wanting to be fray

[scott1efc]

these r good but not as good as arctic monkeys. wot av the arctic changed there name to?

[gazzvg1]

arctic monkeys dont have a new name but the lead singer is in another band called the last shadow puppets chck them out there quality

[camthman1]

ther better than them

[jamieisthename]

how the fuck are they like the arctic monkeys you fool :S

[bobzimmerfan]

didn't know the arctic monkeys had changed their name

[Papac55555]

thy arrent like the arctic's atol

[nield8]

You absolute spanner how in the world are The Courteeners simillar to The Arctic Monkys?

[PunxDrunns]

both got accents, but these are mancunians and arctics are steel city belters, so theyre not similar at all really lol

[westman9111]

amazing band

[23645645]

amazing band fave song by them good taste in music goin 2 c them AMAZING!!
