I'd say Kasabian are one of those bands who sound better live than they do on record.

[@elisgarner5948]

Definitely

[@stefanomaesani717]

That's true

[@horth2003]

Superb. Sounded epic at Knebworth yesterday - Serge has stepped up as the frontman and totally looks at home

[@scottguitarsuk23]

Totally agree, saw them at Knebworth, faultless performance, Serge is an excellent frontman! 👍

[@fernandoflynn]

Blows my mind how this is the only comment section giving Serg the props he deserves. I get missing Tom but some of Kasabian's best tunes like Bow had Serg out front

[@Mirtill2020]

This performance is absolutely fantastic.

[@LeeD-ou7jy]

Proper The Music vibes. Class!!

[@mike2462]

Didn't know Rob Harvey from The Music was doing bits with Kasabian! Great talent and excellent voice!! Would be interested in seeing more going forward if he's involved!

[@ryanmac1334]

He fits into their live shows superbly. Seen them twice over the past year and they have been outstanding with him

[@mike2462]

@@ryanmac1334 Actually saw The Music in Leeds a couple of weeks back. Unbelievable! He's an absolute master. Such an accomplished musician and WHAT A VOICE!

[@markcharleson8972]

he’d joined kasabian

[@veronicagonzalo3778]

It's like seeing Elvis in 2022. I could spend hours watching him sing and move in loop mode. I love everything he does. Sergio gives everything that fresh touch without losing references to rock in a very natural way because he is pure rock'n'roll. Something we need a lot in these times. Long live Kasabian! ❤‍🔥

[@johnboucher5285]

Serge has kept this band going! Nothing but respect to him!

Fantastic💟

[@markdevlin4232]

Definitely better than the studio version. Guitars remind me a bit of Reason Is Treason

[@Jake-ie6bi]

Agreed

[@stoneroses22]

I was worried about these guys after Tom got kicked out however with Rob Harvey in the fold everything is going to be alright

[@eneDK5594]

Good. What about kasabian? When are they coming back?

[@Andyxom]

I really love the new Kasabian studio album. But earlier I watched them live. Sorry, but the band lacks the live drive that was with Tom. The fact is that I saw Kasabian live with the 48:13 tour. Boys, thank you for the experiment, but now your live sound is like logs of forest trees.

[@druviceylontea6304]

With Tom's departure Kasabian didn't look the same. Something is missing. Tom's vocals made a huge difference. They were one of my favourite bands during that time and I still enjoy their old tracks.

[@trident8480]

Live Serge and Tom's chem is key helping eachother with vocals just isn't the same but fair play too Serge was thrown on him too lead

[@chanta95]

Youre true wont see them live without him

[@jesseharradine9861]

is that the dude from the music? I saw them yrs ago. awesome

[@andrewgriffiths8058]

Yes serg 👊

[@Blitzed_city]

oh 30 seconds in and its wayyyy better than the studio version, what the fuck. YEAH, one of those please

[@scottcain6731]

[@arturogabriel6863]

Great to see Serge polished his vocals

[@LAST_VACATION_WAS_THE_SAME]

They still sounds awesome but its not Kasabian anymore

[@yolandefiddy4199]

Can’t wait to see them at Isle of Wight fest soon

[@hopebgood]

I'm still gutted that the best band on the planet had to split up. And let's face it....they didn't have much choice really. Taking no sides.

Can't without Tom. Bring him back

[@kirkmitchell9725]

Mega

[@ChainNonSmoker]

Sergabian is like 80% of the original Kasabian experience, he's a good frontman, wrote the stuff and sung lead fpr some of the tunes anyway. But it lacks the "lad rock" football chav aspect without Tom Meighan's performance which was big but not a major deal of their original appeal. But things tend to change people have to live with it. I wish Tom Meighan finds some sort of success as an solo artist from now on.

[@_o__o_]

Serge is the ultimate try hard.

[@reaperx00x63]

He's enjoying himself. Give your head a wobble you dope

[@Col5150]

I cannot believe Robert Harvey is a backup guitarist in Kasabian, he has more talent than the rest of the band together. The Music were fantastic

[@damotheman4196]

Robs a man, a really talented one but needs to make a wage at the end of the day too. I bet you he feels delighted to be able to support his family doing what he loves. 🤷‍♂️

[@nicchoulman5789]

Bringing in Rob Harvey to add something as Serge's voice on its own is very weak

[@chapo4461]

Sounds good to me

[@christom2502]

Why is the original not in this brilliant format? Mind boggling, this is on my playlist I can't listen to original anymore 🤯😂

I feel Serge sings like Tom intentionally.

[@fermanriquez914]

[@mitchelledwards8710]

I Didn’t think it would work without the Other fella. Obviously it Does brilliantly 👍

[@santorini8423]

Not nearly the frontman that was. Fact. Kasabian are a shadow of their former selves, even in the latter days of Tom as frontman. And you all know it ffs.

[@steven_uk]

Rob Harvey is doing all the hard vocal parts. Serge isn't a lead singer: his voice is too reedy and weak.

[@sg3215]

Serge does the 'hard' part in the second chorus, it's only the first where he sings in a lower octave

[@mollyvision792]

Sounds just like serges ultra successful solo stuff lol. Should have just changed the name of the band and started a fresh and left the previous music in the past like RATM have. Tom does make a difference and his vocals defined the band more than than people would like to admit. Yes tom had/has his demons and was rightly punished for his crimes but his family have forgiven him. Hes got the help he needed and i bet hes a better man now. Was it the right thing to kick him out? Only time will tell
