So good! You gotta do What a Waster, their first single. Then do Up The Bracket, the whole album. They were mega

Yes, they kept breaking up and getting back together throughout the years. Apparently the song is about Pete mocking the British tabloid 'The Sun' who demonized Pete's addiction and made him to be some kind of monster. He is in reality a very gentle soul. That's why the lyrics 'Don't look back into the sun, now that the time has come (for you to show people your talent) and they (the sun) said it would never come for you'. Also, 'they will never forgive you but they won't let you go' About how the tabloids won't forgive him but won't let him go either. I live in the UK and his face was plastered on every shitty tabloid, every single day, since I can remember. The press loved to hate on him when he was struggling with terrible heroin addiction because of his high profile relationship with Kate Moss.

I absolutely love The Libertines. This is a great track, probably the best intro ever. The band have such a rich history, but are still together. They've also opened a bar and hotel in Margate which is well worth a visit

Both their first 2 albums are amazing. Time For Heroes is a must.

Give the third one a chance man (Anthems for Doomed Youth) it took me a few listens but now 'heart of the matter' and 'gunga din' are on me playlists.

This is top of the pile. Music is about emotion, and there's not many other bands that give me similar excitement and adrenalin.

​@@intothemusic908you should listen to babyshambles, down in Albion the debut and shotters nation are great, there third album is full of really good rocknroll with a quite upbeat pop vibe. Very differently produced but still great. Peter really made some great music his solo album Hamburg demonstrations is excellent. I cannot stress the importance of Peter dochertys input into music the last two decades. He's a very talented man and was given a hard time by the British press

Fantastic band, first two albums produced by Mick Jones (The Clash). To answer some questions, yes they are still together and currently touring, both Peter and Carl are the lead singers (depends on the song, and they often both sing on songs). Both Pete and Carl sing on this song. They also are both excellent guitarists and have some really intricate guitar work. The first two albums are excellent as albums, listening from beginning to end is a must. Also, highly suggest watching some of their live performances, great energy, great fun, and you can see more of their guitar work. Unfortunately, they do not tour in the US, Peter is not allowed at this moment. They do go to Mexico from time to time, so that would be the closest.

Angela M Love The Libertines. They've also opened a Libertines themed hotel in Margate. I've been and believe me its well worth a visit!

My band played this for a friends birthday in college, there was no stage so the area where we played was just mixed with dance floor. Everybody dancing amongst us with beer flying everywhere. Great times. Trying to remember the set list - this song, I bet you look good on the dance floor, supersonic, sally cinnamon, waterfall, something by the doors…

Sounds like one helluva great time!

The first two albums were so good, really captured a time in the early 2000s. Babyshambles are another one worth checking out, one ofnthe offshoots of this band who were a lot more reckless but still had the songs and harmony together away with it.

@@steroberts what about Fantasy Life of Poetry And Crime, his newest album in collab with French musician, Frederic Lo?

@@SlavicRusa that's a great story. I met my wife (who is also from Warsaw!) via Babyshambles. We met Pete when he toured with the Puta Madres and told him our story, he gave us a big hug and let us take a photo with him. I really like the new record with Frédéric Lo too, I'm glad he's still putting out good music.

Great reaction. Petes solo stuff and babyshambles are also quality. Loads of songs find and to react to. I too love the rough loosness to it all. Rough diamonds.

Awesome, so glad you are getting into the Libs, they're so good. Time for Heroes as others have said is awesome. Music when the lights go out from their second album is great, and I would recommend a couple of their older, lesser known tracks - Plan A and Cyclops (I think I mentioned those on your first Libs reaction) ✌️

You have them down to a T, "reckless abandonment" that is The Libertines personified in a phrase.

More Libertines please :)

90s. They didn't really release there debut until October 2002, then 2nd in summer 2004. They did form in97/98 and at that time we're playing a very different style of music.

I loved pretty much the whole debut album but 'Death on the Stairs' and 'vertigo' are faves

Great selection.. Love the libertines ❤️

Your reaction reminds me of the first time I had the pleasure of listening to them. Great video, looking forward to more.

love your reactions, we need more Libertines! They also have the best (and most patient) bass section

Saw them live last night. Loved them for years. They've still got it.

They’re still together, seen them just short of a month ago and think they’re the best I’ve seen yet. Got can’t stand me now lyrics tattoo less than two weeks later!

Nice one! I think this is probably has good as it gets though with the libertines

Glad you're enjoying laddie. Looking forward to sharing your journey. Cheers from Scotland to one and all 🍻💳❄🍷

Please react to Fantasy Life of Poetry and Crime by Peter and Frederic Lo. It’s beautiful! ‘Invictus’ is my favorite! Also from his first solo album- ‘A Little Death Around The Eyes’, ‘I Am The Rain’, ‘Salome’, ‘Palace of Bone’, ‘Broken Love Song’ and classic- ‘Last Of The English Roses’ And The Libertines, my favorite ever is ‘The Good Old Days’ Love Your channel btw. Keep doing what you’re doing, You remind me of my dad, who got me into all the classics (I even saw Iggy Pop in May this year in Lyon! Unfortunately my biggest hero ever is just tattooed on my arm ‘My mama said to get things done, you’d better not mess with Major Tom’- never had a chance to see him, but frequently visit his memorial in Berlin where he lived with Iggy and Neues Ufer, Café/pub kind of thing, full of Bowie stuff, Iggy wrote The Passenger there! Whenever you’re in BLN, it’s a must!) I wrote a comment: ‘Fantasy Life of Poetry And Crime, his newest album in collab with French musician, Frederic Lo?

Great band, you should check out their song Up the bracket, my favourite of theirs but there’s so many great tracks to choose from. You would also like Pete Doherty’s other band Babyshambles, I’ll send you one over 😉

Up the bracket! My favourite libertines song too!

They played that song at the death disco, it started fast but it ends so slow, death disco was their hang out bar & Carl put a record on during a dj set but didnt realise til half way that it was on 45rpm instead of 33rpm

As Fausty said, you may think you've listened to their best, but Time for Heroes is up there with the greatest songs of all time. It's perfection, like Teenage Kicks. I think there's another half dozen songs on their first album which beats this also. Second album is great too, but it's the story of the band falling apart, so it's tinged with sadness. I envy you having all this in front of you to discover!

Babyshambles is a shout Pete form the libertines band kilamangiro

Unreal song

Love it! You're right, this is for most their best song but there is so much more! You're gonna get a lot of requests for other tracks now but I'll throw 'Death on the Stairs' at you. Carl is the lead singer on this one Enjoy 🎸

You're pronouncing Barat correctly! Doherty on the other hand, is supposed to be pronounced like Docherty,

If you haven't seen them live you know nothing.

Messy and sloppy, bright and bouncy. This is the way it should be done! I agree, I didn't listen to these guys when they put this out. I wish I did, this is great! I'd be up for more...

Britain’s answer to The Strokes.. don’t get too excited, the last one you listened to, this and Time for Hero’s are their best songs. Pete split and did a couple of good tunes including Fuck Forever and Albion
