+jamie byrne "for the stars"

[@jamiebyrne25]

Toni Paradise for the start... ie the opening bars to this are the same as the end of don’t look back into the sun... the previous single... know your music

[@maeh.4652]

both lads are amazing! i miss the libertines but both spinoffs were great... both pete's and carls!

[@roakey8167]

Both are good on their own (pete great) but together they are better than the some of their parts

[@CMPx92]

can't call yourself a lib's fan if you don't love both,

[@milk_cow_blues]

If you don't love the four

[@natijade]

Literally no idea how anyone can blame Carl over Pete. Seriously wth...

[@SeleneRulingTheMoon]

2024 and he stills get emotional about that part , the drugs and his (right) decision to remove him from the band.

[@JHDELIVERY22]

Thanks for uploading this documentary

[@1388Anthony1]

Carl (and most people for that matter) just dont understand that drug addiction, especially heroin addiction is a complicated matter. You can't eat, sleep, move, without dope if you have a habit. Nobody wakes up wanting to be a junkie. I speak from experience too when you are dope sick you have a one track mind. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. Unfortunately most people pull away from the addict which is not helpful but they usually have no choice. Addiction is the only disease that directly affects the people around the addict more than the addict. Its a terrible thing. The Libs without Pete just are not the same, go watch them do "I Get Along" on SNL without Pete just very unexciting. Pete's songwriting is a step above everybody elses of this generation. Nobody writes about literature, history, poetry the way Pete does. Some people try but he succeeds.

[@starwarssiths4316]

I don’t think this is necessarily a fair comment. What did you want the band to do? Pete wasn’t showing up for gigs he was always going to be kicked out. Carl barat struggled with his own addictions (to coke) and neither of them were innocent in the breaking up of the band. The band wouldn’t work with any of them not just Pete hence why they split up. But the bottom line is, Pete does need to take responsibility. Obviously the fact he was an addict is awful but others shouldn’t have to suffer for him as the rest of the band did. (Anyway I know you wrote this original comment years ago and so the chances of you replying to this are small but there we are)

[@redblue4246]

Carlos has also had a coke and heroin addiction, i bet he understood

[@debbie1060]

I know your post was years ago but Carl had addictions too. And that is such an unfair description of heroin addiction. It wasn't just the heroin with Pete was it, its the crack is the killer. Plus he took dxm and ketamine and benzos. I worked and had a mortgage for 10 years and had a habit. Nobody would of believed it.

[@debbie1060]

@@redblue4246 yes absolutely 👍

[@miracles4u]

Yeah sincere comment and all that but Pete shifted more brown for the establishment than dorian grey did paintings. Look at him now. Fat and bloated and a proper full time junkie. True the libs captured a certain energy in London bottled it and gave it to the poor but there was many many casualties at the gates of Highgate. I wonder what the fuck good art really means and was it worth it. Good music, art, literature, conversation, rampages. Is there an eternal hangover for the albion gallion. Man over board....

[@ryanbarker8560]

Thanks for uploading this man. Really interesting.

[@dontuknowhoithinkiam]

never heard this, thanks for posting.

[@natashaavital8713]

Geez, Peter fanboys and their inability to realize human relationships are complex!

[@azza1abbo2siikfam]

you all chat s**t they argued alot, carl does what he wants, in the end he betrayed peter. there both great but they have there reasons, and the libertines will return when the timings right

[@erinlilytoner8467]

Pete sounds so much cuter than Carl's, love him, he's a beautiful man(:

[@Wilshereisclass]

fucking brilliant

[@AddBetweenTheLines]

I think the some people want carl to sort pete out but you can't put that on carl. pete has to sort out pete and I don't think that I forgive pete for what he did to carl but I'll be waiting for pete to stop acting like he was the one person carring the band. I'll be waiting until libertains are full operationail and if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen

[@TheLibertinesArchive]

Anyone know the year this is from?

[@robkayes7356]

2004 I reckon

[@georgecurtis967]

It's up to barat. pete, Gary and John where up for reading in 2009 and the Olympic closing ceremony but Carl didn't want to do it.

[@PriHL]

And you can't blame him.
