Babyshambles - A'rebours video

[LIBERTINEPARANOIC]

This song sounds like the Smiths a lot

[BluesYourAss]

pete loves the Beatles.....

[superyoy0]

12 people are really confused.

[runerockgod7]

Does anyone know where the video/story is for the part at 2:21

[JHDELIVERY22]

One of the best songs on the 1st album :)

[jackotheripper]

this stint in the slammers gonna sort him out, he'll be back with something fucking amazing when he's out

[vallmak]

great song



[Kerstin103]

wow!great video!and great song!THUMB UP!!

[Betterman89]

Pete Doherty may be our Des Esseints :D

[funkychicken5192]

@Betterman89 Huysmans!! I'm so happy :) you'd be amazed how many people say they love this song, but don't understand the reference.

[freesaladsauce]

Insane bass line and believe me not "anyone" can play that. It's very demanding.

[Ziniho0608]

@freesaladsauce no its not... do you play bass?

[johnwillan2008]

2 gods. Pete & Tupac

[GlennCloud]

@johnwillan2008 Tupac? o_#

[theScytheofGod]

This actually sounds like a hundred songs from Britain in the last 40 years, but to me, like a watered down version of the Smiths.

[ToonInvader]

you should read the book from Huysmans

[FreewheelinLibertine]

Is there an acoustic version, there's an old version called He Will Fall where it was just the chorus part of the lyrics or something like that. It sounded really nice and was hoping there was one on youtube.com

[panamablanc73]

i love this song. i have read most of j.k.H novels. though they didn't live in the same century doherty may have found interesting the work of huysmans.

[DeadKittens33]

What is a'rebours?

[katie2531]

@DeadKittens33 it`s actually a novel by karl-jordis huysman, french author from the decadence period. it`s said to have insipired wilde to write dorian grey....literally it kinda means "against the norm". hope that helps :)

[mooresy84]

I threw a pint of piss at sum cunt at the ritz MANCHESTER in dec 2009 GOOD TIMES !!

[obama20k]

best song ever made, by the best band there ever was (except for libertines)

[moutoupunks]

Except or along? Whatever you like... It's Doherrty..

[qunnabu]

@obama20k

have you listened to the smiths?

[My2ndAlibi]

"In the end the conclusion was fucking heartbreaker it was seeing Top of the Pops ... and seeing the band without me."

It's heartbreaking.

[IDigMyGraveTheSaga14]

does anyone know whats happening at 2:26 onwards? was he fighting with someone? who and what happened? he looked ready to cry during that clip :(

[5hits2009]

he was laughing evily out of his mind. lashed out at a boy who must have sed something, i remember it, pete attacks fan.

[alistairproductions]

@Coolaale great comment

[stacie1420]

a snap of him smoking heroin I dont care that he does it or anything its just very unflatttering pic to go along with such a great tune .....

[SamAG99]

What does the song name mean?

[TenWhoWereTaken]

A'rebours means 'Against Nature'.

It's also the title of a 19th century French novel about decadence by author Joris-Karl Huysmans.

[johnnyamorrison]

my favorite song by babyshambles.

[MaliciaIrina]

AAAAh very good !!

[crackpipe999]

brilliant tune petes a legend so fuck if he takes drugs he's no harmin anyone

[alistairproductions]

@crackpipe999 yeah he is hes harming the corporate controlled government that wants to convince everyone drugs are evil so that they can throw everyone in prisons for the sake of population reduction. havent figured it out yet, sometihng along those lines

[thegorb99]

Actually their tryin to empty prison's because there overcrowded

[nidhearc]

@crackpipe999 Except for himself, I'm glad that he seems to be looking healthier these days though, I;d hate to see anything bad happen to him because he's so talented and seems a really nice guy too! =] XOXO

[NineMonthMedia]

@crackpipe999 most people dont have a problem with it, they're just praying he doesnt die and sticks around to write kick ass music for us all to enjoy

[scoff89]

cool!

[stacie1420]

wow this video was cool till the pic of him smoking heroin that wasnt very nice :(

[mrgooders]

What a delightfully narrow minded comment.

[stacie1420]

yea ok

here is another one fuck you :D

[mrgooders]

...Well I've been knocked down a few pegs. :/

[stacie1420]

forgive me for not wanting to see pics of my hero doing something that should be left to his own privacy , Still a good video just could have done without that pic thats all

[Norminatus]

hell yeah...i love it..<3

[LumierexCosmic]

F'n hell, you did a great job on this vid!

Cheers! x

[mcApe89]

i think it's very well done and it works i mean with Carl in it and all.. i get very emotional about this vid i think you did a great job so, thank you!

Pete you are appreciated a lot, superb poet an songwriter, i'd say he's an unrecognized genius! keep it up

[johnnyamorrison]

i love babyshambles

[michaeldino]

This is the equivalent of time for heroes in up the bracket. This is my favorite and I think the best song in down in albion.

[scotchpfc]

albion???

[TheShambolicOne]

Totally agree

[fishc4nfly]

Really goood vid well done! x

[NordischWalker]

My favour´song of Pete is "Sheepskin Teared" but i love alll sobgs from Babyshambles 2 or libertines..rhid video is real cool!

[SamAG99]

Sheepskin tearaway?

[p4r4d0x23]

WTF is babyshambles 2??????

[mrgooders]

Old Libertines demo.. I think.

[gusblake000]

Yes, Curtain Call. It's on Shaking And Withdrawn as well.

[RingingInMyHead]

The Sequel! Bilo Strikes Back! >:P

[petedoherty2]

[ughaghugh]

[AMoldyPeach]

[famAAAs]

PETER HEINZ

[RoyKing89]

nice video man!

[Thursday0987]

Pete is a pure genius. All of his music has so much feeling

[freehwilin]

only problem is that you used vids and pictures of libertines for the video, otherwise it would be great & correct.

[blueraspberryparis]

PETER <3

[dunkey123]

I Love Babyshambles And The Libertines, This Song Reminds Of the Libs

[tobin834]

and if you really cared for me, god knows you'd let me be..

[NoLongerHearTheMusic]

Def the best 2 frontmen in modern days. I love the Babyshambles (and the DPTs) but the Libertines were something else. Id love the libs to get back together, but I wish both Pete and Carl the best for whatever the do. They're both amazing.

[DaveS12382]

@NoLongerHearTheMusic you got your wish now go fish.

[cmcmc50]

This tune is fricking amazing.

Doherty is a legend but something is missing without Carl.Prob the best 2 frontmen since the beatles

[rockinshep94]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!

[itsmeJTke]

<3 pete

[emololitaxx]

<33

[biloshambles92]

Against the grain

[gloomichica2b]

genious.. dac wat i always say!!! xD aaaaa god bless him n his music! D BEST!

[nickey2shawtey]

great video...pete is the best ever!!!

[westman9111]

awsum song pete doherty fukin genius

[thegorb99]

It translate"s as against the grain

[locojambo]

great song, great vid!

[richards1986]

hes blatently bi

[johnnyXsniper]

i dont think anyone would care tbh

[Justagirl1978]

Great, that just adds to my filthy fantasies!

[marthamydear889]

great vid, so cheers for that. my fav shambles song too!!

[turbintom]

a true ledgend ruined by drugs

[KeepPeteOffSmack]

Pete on top form. Nice job of the vid

[BaconFries]

Nice user name :)

[miraeja]

hey~ you've got a nice style!

[mikeeyboi2k]

nice vid man

p.s.

tune!

[BaconFries]

Really catchy tune!! :)

[gernold1]

I always thought it's just a bad pronounced version of "au revoir" =P

[Porcupunk]

What Does A'reours mean? i looked it up. bu ddnt get it..

<3 Pete and babyshambles :] x

[boulgourr]

a rebours means you have some time left to do something in french

as in "compte à rebours"!!!

bye from france

[Porcupunk]

Thankyou Muchly :] x

[DongerBanks]

Nope... 'tis a French expression which translates, roughly, to 'against the grain'.

Think Pete took the title from a French novel though

[nattt23]

Thats what i was about to say, you'd think someone from France could translate it right.... obviously not!

[craigbee]

could mean looking back.

[mikeeyboi2k]

it means against the grain

as said already!

but yeaa thats what it mean

[nattt23]

Its on wikipedia... Look up A'rebours...

[nattt23]

I know, but its also a great book, I thought people might like to read it.... Or more about it....

[torturescandycanes]

Officially it translates to Against Nature. It was the book that was given to Dorian Gray in the Picture of Dorian Gray.

[itsmeJTke]

up the doherty!

[babylonsdestruction]

i love this song. babyshambles <3

[olavtrygve]

Think this is one of babyshambles best songs, perhaps the best. Pete is such a great musician. He doesnt have a insain voice, and his guitar skills isnt more than avarage, but he still makes great songs.

And yeah, the bassline is awesome, and if its easy it doesnt matter. nirvana always made it simple, they didnt do so bad did they:)

[DaveS12382]

@olavtrygve no Nirvana didnt do it so bad, but Alice In Chains did it better.

[luccharliedontsurf]

yes i agree...it's not very difficult but it's a great bassline

[maximusv1]

Makes it even better if its simple!

[luccharliedontsurf]

right

[sarryk00]

great bassline? Well it sound nice but anyone can play that :o

Babyshambles rocks! \../

It would be awesome if they'll visit filnad or something<33

[sarryk00]

*Finland

[MiuMiulok]

great job *o*

[brynnxx]

best bassline ever

[vincentefrancisco]

great song

[skenbenet]

Thanks for posting the video :)

[omfgnonamestotake]

pete is amazin ... who gives a fuk if he takes drugs hes an amazin poet nd song writter ... XD

[jjlastrokeuse]

strange to have put libs videos with a song from babyshambles

but nice

and this osng is sooo good

[bass234]

great video, does anyone else think that the intro bass riff sounds like the delivery riff??

[liveforever1965]

Nicely done! October 1 is coming soon!

[XxxcolormyworldxX]

stunning &hearts;

definitely.

[flissi]

one of the best shambles songs!

[Englandrules1966]

Awesome song

[Zelglifc]

one of the best shambles songs! i'm down in albion!

[ragenl0ve]

outstanding job u did! congrats! of course the material was top class as well,and i mean music,images and story :P and spirit!!

[amirfaria]

hahahah catrina this were very funny : "DUNC89 all of your ancestors must number in the millions; it's hard to believe that many people are to blame for producing you. "

Well,you got nothing to do right?? So go look at your craps one piece of shit that is is worst than your face...I bet you cant find it... !@#!@

[evijaOzzy]

02:00 :)))

Pete is my hero!

[clairerfc1]

Amazing :] I just dont get why people watch these videos if they dont like Pete! Its silly.. Anyway I couldnt care what anyone says about Pete. He is a troubled yet talented musician. Its Petes problem if he wants to take drugs or not, leave him alone!

Legend he is xx

[tard2007]

Catrina 1978, go suck Pete's dick =D

[draintheblood2236]

Brilliant Video. Ace song.

[ludvik199t]

I liked it

[frazerrothko]

Catrina arghh do you still miss Abba nevermind buy the greatist hits

[ZeekoWay]

people like catrina suck because they cant respect what others like..nothing is more annoying then reading youtube comments :O

[Catrina1978]

CRAP SINGER UGLY BLOKE SHIT MUSIC STUPID JUNKIE -One of my craps are better than your face ,piece of shit ,get a life junkie fuck and give space to serious musicians you scum

[Dunc89]

A key member in one of the most definitive British bands in the last decade? An ever-expanding fanbase of hundreds of thousands? And as for him being ugly; er, doesnt he go out with a supermodel? Get over yourself you arse, away and rant at something else.

[Catrina1978]

DUNC89 all of your ancestors must number in the millions; it's hard to believe that many people are to blame for producing you.

[pinkhana]

brill!

[lovemylilgroupie]

I really love Peter as a lyricist... Plus I love The Libertines! So I thought I'd try out Babyshambles and I reckon this song is their best. I love Babyshambles now too... Although not as much as The Libs. I'm going to see Babyshambles in November. Wahey.

[Bloomer69]

Great video!!

[chevydontpreach]

pete doherty is so inspirational, his ability to play with words and morph them into songs and poetry is amazing. He is one of the only true artists left.

[MrBusker]

i agree. He is a brilliant song writer...if only the media and everyone else could see past that

[hankin2]

awsome lol

[likelylady]

fantastic.

[szzuk]

Nice vid!

[gaultylib]

its taken from a book by joris karl huysmens called a;rebour or against the grain in english also can be translated as against nature - the books about a dandy in 19th century france bein debauched and scandalous - in short about a libertine

[elrobo100]

i love this in my opinion babyshambles is better than the libertines were but i love them both but babyshamble more
