The Libertines - What Became of the Likely Lads (live)

[@Julie88C]

Poor Carl. Loving someone is painful. What I love about the Libertines is that their songs are so real and honest, watching this the only thing I could think about was "how is he able not to burst into tears while singing it?"

[@el-dl4um]

Julie what I love is your profile picture

[@HorrorShow100]

quite possibly one of the greatest libertines performances. its powerful and carries meaning.

[@00Indy]

and as the night comes along, i will hold you so long and say "you're not so bad" damn...

[@natalie20136]

carl has the most beautiful eyes..

[@allopoi]

carl looks so sad while singing

[@computersnevergoonstrike]

wow, you noticed that too? I thought i was crazy, but that's all i can fcus on. this is just depressing as a whole. list of things they could have done tomorrow... i love the new libs, but man, think about if they broke thru to the us and how big they could have been? Just as tight as Oasis if you can look past the sloppy playing on pete's end, i suppose?.... like a comment in here mentions. they do just sound a bit like any other britpop band here. Pete and Carl helped make the libs what they were. it's like john and paul.... one without the other was never the same. not that this is bad, but it isn't the libertines; it's carl, gary, and adam playing What Became of the Likely Lads and looking like 3 sad blokes while doing so....

[@computersnevergoonstrike]

and someone else i didn't even notice. so weird not to hear/see pete with them here. i havent exposed myself to many libs videos or performances after Pete. They werent the same band, even if he was as dumb as Keef to show up in court with drugs. I just hope even this new incarnation can tour the u.s. maybe ONCE before I die, or pete dies, or the band dies. their CBGB show alone can just go to show how big they COULD have been on this side of the pond if they broke the states.... truly broke the states. I'd still like to see them live if they ever make it over here, even if they're all pushing 45 now and i'm in my 30s and feel like 80 from my own "bad old ways" and falling back on them far too many times for my body's good. i still hope i get to see them at least once with this lineup, though..... better than the shit in the states right now.

[@mattlanevideos]

Im nearly in tears this is such a great performance and quite sad Pete + Carl need to be together again Go Libs

[@kesmarley]

They r now👍seeing them on 28th

[@kid0034]

What an awesome bass line! Gotta give the bassist his props on this one...

[@452Sunshinee]

our beloved Biggles is so beautiful !

[@joliefolie]

We all bought the ones, we taught 'em all (we toured the world), we wrote the songs, it was a dream we had; And when the nights would roll along I would hold you for so long And say "You're not so bad"

[@oscarw123]

Although there are no "Libertines" without Pete, this performance would've been completely different with him in the lineup.. and this is actually superb. Carl is great and hopefully their reunion last year will lead to something unexpected.. The least we can do is hope.

[@alexmalpass8526]

This aged very well

[@elenath]

wow, 0:17-0:21 gives me goosebumps all over... so sad!!!

[@chileglatorianz]

Carl playing this tune without Pete means so much, even tho i know that the Libertines were the libertines because of Pete, but yeah, looking further than to what they Sound like with this other guitarrist or Whatever, Each time i see this vid What comes to my mind is that: Pete was dropped out of the band because of his drug problems, the band then went to fullfill the schedule without him before actually spliting, while promoting an album that basically tell us the story of Pete and Carl and how their relation went from love to hate, with a second single that goes 'What became of the likely lads? What became of the Dreams we had? What became of forever?' Which is the song that they are playing here without Pete, which is something as beautiful as tragic, and that's What i like and rescue from this performance, It turns Into something really poetic

[@mmnhmn]

ahh..teared up a little it's heartbreaking to see carl up there without pete

[@djboony]

pete is a brilliant lyricist, carl is a brilliant guitaist, they lent on each other.

[@pillonsin]

aw!!! i love The Strokes! and your right!. i love the strokes. i love the strokes. i love the strokes

[@Mineiro426]

Forget about Pete for a second or two and just look and listen.. man, what a incredibly f* fantastic rock and roll band.

[@TininSkywithDiamonds]

the drummer is so great. I would put him in front

[@fenix478]

great show man! congrats! libertines, I miss u... :-(

[@PeterBondeVillain]

Pretty prophetic that they're playing a song about the band breaking up after the band broke apart. Poor Carl.

[@davidmoore9174]

just doesnt look right without the one and only peter doherty....fuckin love him...good tune too...

[@bottomsupbass]

The Fibertines. I give it to them for fulfilling obligations but it ends with Pete. I'm a huge carlfan but Peter is the soul

[@BlackRhapsody]

They don't do this song on Jonathon Ross -- that is Can't Stand Me Now. And, in my opinion, this is one of the most touching performances Barat's ever done. If this doesn't have heart, then I'm afraid everything I've ever thought I put my heart into was nothing.

[@deadhotdog16]

Love this song.

[@buu968]

i just cried this is so sad :'(

[@HorrorShow100]

whats the part '...hold you for so long' what are the lyrics? they sing it on the reworked version, but not on the album version. can any one out there translate carl's mumbling?

[@adamnapier6275]

Any performance without Pete Doherty shouldn't be branded as 'the Libertines', IMO. It was Pete's band, and they are still making a living playing Pete's material.

[@bwaybabyrose]

While I totally agree The Libertines aren't The Libertines without Pete, that's a bit unfair. Carl made almost as large of a songwriting contribution to the band as Pete. You can clearly hear the different influences they both brought to The Libs when you listen to their solo stuff.

[@denise4891]

Omg I was just thinking that! I think i even shed a tear. oh :(

[@dbernat]

This faster version is fantastic!!!! Would be perfect with Pete, all the Likely Lads, but this we'll never know...

[@skinhugging]

i was going to say that Carl seems soooo sad without Pete "his presence like a hand behind his neck"

[@albingustavsson3736]

@ClubDominoEnglish Mando Diao have been a band since 1999 and they have had their style since the beginning. I know this since I'm from the same town and have seen them since their earliest.

[@nick1993santos]

Pete! The libertines are wateing for you ;)

[@SydOctavie]

exact...I miss the Libertines...

[@Indietony]

@darkhorse777 yeah its at the end of the second verse theres no chorus just goes in to 3rd verse i think i noticed it n all

[@1388Anthony1]

This is NOT the Libertines its Carl Barat solo. It is amzing how different the music sounds without pete's out of time sloppy rhythm playing. He made it work he played behind the beat, in front of it, very much like Keef. Besides his vocals his guitar playing is very good and unconventional. The Libs are an unhinged band that verge of falling apart made it so fucking great. This sounds like a karaoke version.

[@lopez7684]

it is the libertines

[@billyclutterbucket2754]

shut up

[@connaught2008]

best british band since the clash.

[@bevyk777]

Easy to see that both Carl and Pete can stand alone as lead or solo singers... but they already spoiled us Libertines fans with whatever it is that they have TOGETHER that makes them above and beyond great! (no disrespect to their other work or bands - love them too!).

[@somorastik]

"...true friend will stab you in the front..." Oscar Wilde

[@albingustavsson3736]

@The1977Punk Doherty har sagt att de försökte efterlikna dem musikaliskt också. Okej, jag kan ta några exempel: Ta The Masters Apprentices - War or Hands Of Time (från 1967), Last Post on the Bugle är i princip en exakt replika av den låten. Stora delar av texten i What Katie Did är tagen från en Chas and Dave-låt (Cinderella). Riffet i The Delaney are taget från introt till barnprogrammet Rainbow från 80-talet. Alla stora artister lånar från olika håll och det är verkligen inget fel med det.

[@ClubDominoEnglish]

@DireHit Libertines har inte snott lika mycket som mando Keyboard riffet i Song For Aberdeen är taget från solot i Time For Heroes - Libertines. Cut The Rope är tagen från Time For Heroes - Libertines. Killer Kaczynski är tagen från What A Waster - The Libertines Idén om Mr Moon är taget från Mrs Jackson - The Vines Textidén till Long Before Rock'N'Roll är taget från Can't Stand me Now - Libertines Gitarrmelodin i Gloria är taget från He's a Rocker - The Vines

[@tiohc]

What became of the Likely Lads? They're BACK!

[@babyshambles93]

i agree carl loves pete and it must of been very hard to drop pete from the band. but they do need to get back together!

[@chazzdaspazz]

theres a new verse in this version at about 58 seconds

[@lobezville]

@dan11009 No this is The Libertines just without Pete. John Halsall is still there. When Carl made his new band John left and started a band called Yeti.

[@theobcn]

Totally allright mate

[@noriega1239]

Carl looks sadly aside thinking pete The Libertines back again

[@TobyEllisSongwriter]

Performing THIS song without pete... *cries*... But they are back together!! So no more tears! :D

[@thedancingone]

whats that pin that i always see johnny wearin'? i like it!

[@ClubDominoEnglish]

@DireHit Mando diao har tagit många melodier från The Libertines till deras låtar och snor idér från The Vines! T.ex. Give me Fire har mando Diao tagit från Animal Machine - The Vines The Vines hade idén 5 år innan Mando Diao!

[@KahTomazzoS.E.P]

Sad carl 🥀

[@HonkyCat90]

Isn't this the Dirty Pretty Things guitarist in Pete's place?

[@tenirpaslager]

carlos wants to cry

[@aspiringtentacle]

0:42 did he say "Welcome Pete I sang" ?

[@ricaweiss5167]

AspiringTentacle yes

[@briochelovers]

:( I LOVE YOU PETER

[@ClubDominoEnglish]

@The1977Punk Haha, ska bli kul att få höra hans förklaring nu ^^

[@cheesedominiccusack2]

and album

[@ClubDominoEnglish]

@DireHit Du kanske ska lyssna på hur Animal Machine låter innan du börjar jämföra. Trum och gitarrutbrottet i Give me fire är taget från animal machine. En liten del av Animal machine finns t.om. med i Dance With Somebody på ett par ställen om man lyssnar riktigt noga.

[@nobrainnobrain69]

gary is a machine!! :p

[@thekillers1stfan]

@tiohc yea, look at the video for this song at reading and leeds the crowd just went wild

[@edoors]

Maybe you're right about the beggining... but it's not Anthony who does the 2nd voice, it's John, their bassist. Of course it's still not the same as if it was Pete.

[@MarioKazooie]

Please dont get me wrong.. but the libertines are back !

[@nicolegrandjean1036]

hahahaha mejor comentario del mundo asumo que eres chileno tambien...

[@94jazi]

Love how at 0:40 he mumbles through the part pete sings... they couldnt really do libertines songs to the same standard apart :P

[@deadmandanny88]

Cant believe anthony is now playing with the klaxons lol

[@MaryHarper]

its petercarljohngary or nothin that said, love the pipey macgraw intro

[@sammerro]

Yep, I just LOVE these 'cool' bands... -Hey, look!!I've got hair on my eyes! and now i'm lookin on everything through my hair!! And i'm dressed elegantly although i'm a bad-boy! .. and yeah, whateva' man... whateva'. I just don't care of anything, you know... yeah.. just stay cool man... stay cool,..

[@saltyxd4069]

Please don't get me wrong See I forgive you in a song We'll call the likely lads But, if it's left to you I know exactly what you'd do With all the dreams we had 'Cos blood runs thicker, oh We're as thick as thieves, you know If that's important to you It's important to me I tried to make you see But, you don't wanna know You don't want to know If you pipe all summer long Then get forgiven in a song Well that's a touch, my lad They sold the rights to all the wrongs And when they knew you'd give me songs "Welcome back", I said The blood runs thicker, oh We're as thick as thieves, you know If that's important to you It's important to me I tried to make you see But, you don't wanna know You don't want to know Oh, what became of the likely lads? What became of the dreams we had? Oh, what became of forever? Though Oh, what became of forever? Though We'll never know Please don't get me wrong See I forgive you in a song Will call the likely lads We all bought the ones We taught 'em all we wrote the songs That's filled with dreams we have But, blood runs thicker, oh We're as thick as thieves, you know If that's important to you It's important to me I tried to make you see But, you don't wanna know You don't want to know Oh, what became of the likely lads?

[@fleming140]

@elvy123 pete had already left, carl decided to finish off the tour as lead singer on his own. as you can see it wasnt the same wivout pete tho.

[@nobrainnobrain69]

Fuck ya I want to have a Gibson melody maker!!!!

[@Alessandroinred]

Who the hell is this guy in the background vocals? ¬¬ Pete is the best

[@albingustavsson3736]

@The1977Punk Vissa saker är i princip snott rätt av (texten från Chas and Dave samt Last Post on the Bugle). Pete har erkänt detta själv. Jag har aldrig hävdat att Libertines tagit något från The Strokes, läs igenom mina kommentarer igen så ser du det. Det enda jag sagt är att de försökte likna The Strokes väldigt mycket. Lyssna på Legs XI och jämför med Up the Bracket så märker man verkligen det. Min personliga åsikt är att Libs är bättre än Strokes, men det är en annan sak. Min sista kommentar

[@BleedTheFreak1992]

I hate that Pete isnt in this but its still great :) I

[@Barracuda007]

hear hear!!!

[@edoors]

Anyone understood what Carl really sings in this video?

[@ClubDominoEnglish]

@DireHit mando Diao HAR tagit idér från Libertines, det är nästan pinsamt att du inte vet det. OCh svar på din dumma fråga: The Vines första skiva så skapade de en låt som hette Mrs Jackson, som handlar om en kille som bråkat med sin flickvän. Något år senare så skrev Mando Diao en liknande låt med liknande text (Mr Moon). Man kan till och med höra att det är samma noter

[@ThePigeonDetective2]

this aint the libertines, the libertines without pete is like the beatles without john i'm sorry him and carl are one of the best duos ever, dont try to ever replicate it

[@JagBetty]

The first 24 seconds are sad, Carlos looking about for Pete?

[@libertinesrock06]

any1 know the lyrics in this version cos they sound 10 times better than the released version

[@Mineiro426]

Ok, I really hate to say that but the the truth is.. you're 100% right

[@Hainrich96]

u just cant play This song without Carl and Pete Together

[@dan11009]

this isnt the libertines, this is the band he made after they split up

[@laura22xlaley]

i miss pete!! there s no libs without pete and carl together! :,(

[@BlackRhapsody]

Given the circumstances, I think he did a great job. Also, be careful posting comments like that with that username. . .

[@libertinesrock06]

it cant be, didz was the bassist in dirty pretty things

[@prosmurf]

The lyrics to this song and Pete not being there is really sad.

[@guatonico]

I dont know crap why people focus so much the drug abuse side... There have been many other bands rock star and artist in general sank in drugs even more than pete and carl and people still love them for their music...

[@certainromance24]

agree,

[@DansLikeaRockstar]

Carl broke the Libertines when they were really huge and he had to start all over again with DirtyPretThings. Pete must have messed up so much to do Carl make such a difficult decision. After all the things they went trough and the sucess they got it is really sad..Both are very talented

[@Mitchellackdo]

Libertines were much more a rock band than the the total-marketing-project "Strokes"

[@musicismyreligion586]

yeah true dude + sorry i won't in future

[@LeeMorTatchi]

And Pete?:(

[@ClubDominoEnglish]

@The1977Punk Haha, han påstår att Libertines snor idér från The Strokes, vilket är helt omöjligt. Jag har varenda skiva av Libertines, hör ingen likhet. Det låter mer som en skitsak som han hittat på själv:)

[@JosoBCN]

And don't forget the wildness.

[@cameronforbes4]

Choon...but there is something missing *cough cough*

[@AshmanMusic]

I PERSONALLY prefer Carl to pete, just because he's so passionate about the Libs and would never let drugs get in the way of it. Also, Carl stuck it out without Pete on the tour, while most other frontmen would of just quit :/

[@barbylios]

I cant believe they even considered playing this live without peter, record company breathing down their necks or not, its pete and carl or nothing at all

[@albingustavsson3736]

@ClubDominoEnglish Jag har lyssnat på Animal Machine och ja, det kanske finns vissa små likheter. Men jag tycker att de i stort sett är obetydliga. Jag förstår inte varför ni försöker skapa en sådan här debatt när Libertines själva har en historia av att sno texter, riff och iband hela melodier från olika band och låtar. Jag själv tycker inte att det är något fel med det, men när ni uppenbarligen gör det så hycklar ni något fruktansvärt.

[@shambler92]

i cant even watch it!

[@glittermirrorball]

I don't think this should be called "The Libertines" without Pete x

[@parkt6792]

pull my heart strings. ohhh, my heart is coal because i can't see carl fucking crying on the inside. he's probably just upset because he knows it'll be shite without pete

[@PetraWii]

Pete can do it with or without Carl but Carl really do need Pete... I love the libertines but i love babyshambles more!
