The Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now - 2004-10-13

Live talk-show performance from the eponymous album "The Libertines". The second LP under the commands of Carl Barat (after the departure of Pete Doherty in 2003).

Carl looks so lonely

[@ddust102]

:(

[@pmccall1]

Not the same without Pete Doherty. Not close.

[@juansalvadorcardenastorres4691]

Carl sing well but the combination with pete and Carl is perfect

[@musicallystoned7489]

As sad as it was without Pete, Anthony Rossomando was a fantastic guitarist. Had the right "look" too.

[@footywooty2]

not as good as pete

[@oliverkalamata2753]

He really was a good energetic presence as well as a great guitarist.

[@joefrench1353]

He should never have been there looked out of place and was trying to hard, Peters lyrics were what made the libertines. Listen to Babyshambles lyrics compared to the dirty pretty things, without pete there is no libs

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

Won an oscar

[@sadiesleepwalker646]

@@joefrench1353 agree with trying too hard, I mean his stage presence, maybe it's his thing, but it was too much. But well, it's a spark of both of them, music and lyrics, not just lyrics, I believe they wrote together.

I love john's voice

[@danielfattouh1175]

Seriously

[@久保田まなぶ]

そやね。リバティーンズっぽさ全開の下手さ。

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

I wonder if the libs would have blown if they showed to America with Peter

[@SeleneRulingTheMoon]

Yes, I think Pete's "situation" robbed them of international exposure and popularity and a longer career in the mainstream but they deserve a second chance to live that together. Hope one of the new songs becomes viral.

[@augustocavalcanti9520]

The worst performance ever

[@WinsumBlueHouse]

Do we get it the wrong way round to kick you out or blame it on the brown

[@marlonmersey8215]

Without pete sounds sad

[@JE56777]

I'm a massive libs fan, but in all honesty without Peter this band is shite.

[@burakmertozclk]

Only band that matters

[@xSergioRottenx]

So, not just borrowing The Clash sound...

[@Alexander-Db962]

Jhon está infravalorado es un buen guitarrista y buen corista

[@jordan777webcam4]

el dia que naci

[@Gabriel-fj2es]

Ósea que ahora tienes 15 años, pero hace dos años cuando pusiste este comentario tenías 13 y ya escuchando a esta banda. Que grande!

[@Usercombjuyrgh]

Great performance

[@rnrrjsdl]

Dirty Pretty Things

[@oliverkalamata2753]

I love the guitar at the beginning verse 💕

[@nere4210]

욕하기 전에 마이크 살짝 빼는거 개멋지네 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 사랑해 칼

[@joefrench1353]

Bang average without Pete no energy no point!

[@sadiesleepwalker646]

Well, Carl had that true energy, it' just works and incenerates when is Pete around.

[@derkapuzenman-lostplacesun7586]

Why Pete‘s not there?

[@aaproductions7496]

I think this was during his drug problem

[@bobyganool7640]

who plays pete parts?

[@violetsky5202]

Anthony Rossomando I think.

[@brianwells4891]

Cover band without Peter.

[@steveleversedge2817]

Needs Pete !

[@martingiovanni8819]

Vale orto el otro guitarrista xd

[@martingiovanni8819]

Angel Gabriel Acosta Diaz Tu gfa

[@dustingoza2240]

That was lame .. then I realized no Pete. Where is he? Coked up somewhere ?

[@katrinagrentz5035]

I don't think he was allowed to come to the US for that tour (some sort of legal & visa issues?). I was at the taping, they did well considering the aftershow the night before went until around 4:30am (a friend from the UK came for the shows & a bunch of us tagged along) & I think everyone (especially Carl) was hung over & exhausted. I think it was a tough decision to carry on to do those shows & Anthony did a great job stepping in.

[@aspiringtentacle]

@@katrinagrentz5035 maybe he wasn't allowed for legal reasons but they didn't bother with that since they kicked him out of the band before the tour. This is why Carl sings "Did we get it the wrong way 'round to kick you out [of the band] or blame it on the brown [heroin]?" referring to the fact that they kicked out Peter because of his drug abuse. They made sure John took Peter's place on stage (and on backing vocals) I believe out of respect. I think Anthony is doing too much, both his physical presence and musically, I genuinely can't understand why they gave him a mic to sing. This song is so loaded, the lyrics were written by Peter so that Carl would be forced to sing them. I agree that it was a tough decision, I guess in their minds they were keeping the band alive until Peter sorted himself out, they were very young but kicking Peter out only sent him to a much darker path. I also believe that Carl felt like he was in Peter's shadow and wanted to get more recognition, this is from Simon Bourcier's account when recording their first singles : "Carl was always whingeing from day fucking one [...] 'Why does Pete have to be the frontman?'". Anyway, I'm glad they found their way through.

[@germanmatiasok]

Those men love each other, but the band couldn't handle Pete's drug addiction, after that year Pete get worse, partying hard, doing drugs, going in & out of jail. Now he's going great, thank God.

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

No Peter = No Glory!

[@Benito.Mussolini.Official]

fuck off

[@suann9790]

Not Carl self censoring for Canadian TV... well this whole appearance is weird anyway

[@notdeluded6235]

It can't be the Libs without Pete. Thus this band failed. Carl's song choice was particularly c+ntish! Really of all the songs! He could have played one his!

[@Usercombjuyrgh]

Don’t cry, fanboy

[@milk_cow_blues]

It should be prohibited to upload videos of The Libertines without Pete.

[@sixer6er]

He’s no front man is he. He should of realised that himself really. Self sabotage
