The Libertines, in some form or other, started life as Carlos Barât (guitars and vocals) and Peter Doherty (guitars and vocals) way back in 1996. They were aiming to be the best band in the world. They weren't quite there. Hailing from the East End of London, the cockney two-some were writing loads and loads of songs and playing acoustic gigs in London pubs. Years passed, with friends and bassists and drummers coming and going, but it wasn't until 2001 that things started to kick off. Carl and Pete were joined by bassist John Hassall and drummer Gary Powell to form The Libertines that everyone knows and loves. Equipped with a manager, Banny, and record deal on one of the biggest independent labels, Rough Trade, The Libertines were hailed as one of the best new b More...

To Pete police would be shadow men, undercover police. Now Pete is obviously not going to grass up his dealer, and never ever would, hence the 2 cold fingers. I sense Pete is trying to protect something he loves/enjoys, tongue in cheek style. Anyone agree?" Give them a bit of credit.. If they talk about drugs they do it a bit more subtly than that ("hurry up Mrs Brown..") The "two shadowed men" is a reference to the notorious Kray twins.. "It's just like she's in another world" could be a reference to drugs, probably is.

To Pete police would be shadow men, undercover police. Now Pete is obviously not going to grass up his dealer, and never ever would, hence the 2 cold fingers. I sense Pete is trying to protect something he loves/enjoys, tongue in cheek style. Anyone agree?" Oh come on, give them a bit of credit.

The "it's just like she's in another world" could be a reference to drugs. whatever | Reviewer: Iris ------ About the song What A Waster performed by The Libertines 'okkk' poetry is different for everybody you know? He had won serveral poetry contests so I think that does make him a poet now does it? I've got to admit, this song is not the moest poetic think he's written but 'Music when the lights go out' and 'lost art of murder' are. But whatever, who cares about that anyway? If someone thinks he's a poet, that makes him a poet. hell, if somebody thinks Good Charlotte are poets, than THAT DOES make him poets, for one person yes, but that doesn't change that it's a fact. BRILLIANT | Reviewer: nicole ------ About the song What Became Of The Likely Lads performed by The Libertines If you actually read the lyrics, then you would understand that it is a combination of both Pete and Carl. You see, at first Carl is adressing Pete with understanding and love; he is perhaps showing that forgiveness, no matter what form, is the ultimate form of friendship and love. Carl and Pete are so close, they both know what they need, and even sacrafice for eachother. It is true friendship. The thing is, the exist as a great force together, almost as a symbol of the generation; a movement. But if they are separate, this movement is not possible, and no one will ever know what can be accomplished by the two. The thing is, that its not a one sided thing, when they say " I tired to make you see/ but you dont want to know", its both. Carl is trying to make pete see a life with out drugs, and with out the lifestyle that Pete chose; Pete is trying to justify his life style, it may be the better one for him. Both don't want to see the other side, which is why the two cant exist. This is the basis of the down fall between the two greats. Life is like this in general; people dont want to see the other side, other opinion, and it causes down fall, and wars. Even though I disagree with Pete's life style, I try not to judge, because I am not him, and therefore, I dont know the reasons behind it. To me, this song is about ignorance, and how ignorance can cause destruction. Wow | Reviewer: Joe ------ About artist/band The Libertines The Libertines are quite possibly the most exciting British band since the Beatles. Pete Doherty and Carl Barat's new bands, Babyshambles and Dirty Pretty Things are just as good. Too bad i missed the boat on the Libertines genuis | Reviewer: cassidy ------ About the song The Saga performed by The Libertines i love this song. infact, i love the entire album..i don't know of any other album that has so much meaning to both the legends who put it together and us "common folk". pete and carl belong together. Yes you are right | Reviewer: pat evans ------ About the song What Became Of The Likely Lads performed by The Libertines The libertines are better than baby shambles or dirty pretty thing .. they dont match up i understand why everything happend.. the drugs are powerfull i ve been their unfortunately... but they will never get back together.. so dont ask.. it is just silly re:alex | Reviewer: shite ------ About the song What A Waster performed by The Libertines A wise man once said "an intellectual is one who says a simple thing in a difficult way, an artist is someone who says something difficult in a simple way." Yes, Keats, Yeats, beat yr fucking meat they were talented folk but using words beyond "simple" or "normal" alone does not make you a genius. As long as the work has influenced someone it's served its purpose. Can't compare dead gay playwrights to stoned 21st century guitar players anyway. Don't blame the drugs | Reviewer: Pete C ------ About the song Can't Stand Me Now performed by The Libertines I'm not condoning drugs, I never would, but to all those who say the band could have been so much more if it wasn't for the drugs, you are wrong. These songs would never have been so good if it wasn't for their love/hate relationship (caused by the overuse of drugs). We never would have had this song for starters if Doherty wasn't taking Heroin. so... | Reviewer: Stormy ------ About the song What A Waster performed by The Libertines I think this song rocks. And I don't care what anyone thinks of pete or any other libertine. But I do think it's a little harsh what ya'll are saying to that alex kid. I don't agree with what he put either, but so what...the kid has an opinion let him express it. Sure it's fine to disagree with him if that's the way you feel. But try not to be such an ass to the guy, he said he didn't think anything bad of pete he just doesn't the guy is a poet. Last song | Reviewer: Chris ------ About the song Don't look back into the sun performed by The Libertines It isnt the last one they made, The last 2 were What Became Of The Likely Lads? and Cant Stand Me Now, The opening line of the latter song sums up the relationship "An ending fitting for the start, You twist and tore our love apart." Kate Moss | Reviewer: Olivia ------ About the song What Katie Did performed by The Libertines The fact that this is a LIBERTINES song prooves that this song isnt about kate moss. Pete didnt even know Kate Moss. However "what katy did next" on down in albion - babyshambles album IS about kate moss RE: The Libertines, Babyshambles And A Very Old Bloke! | Reviewer: Liam G ------ About the song Time For Heroes performed by The Libertines Your right, Albion is one of babyshambles greatest songs i have heard. Away from that tho I think The Libertines did a lot more better songs, like "Up The Bracket", "Last Post On The Bugle", "Music When The Lights Go Out", "Tell The King", "Time For Heoroes", "Can't Stand Me Now" and many others Which have a real significance (either poetically or giving an insight into the times that they have been through) than any other "comercialised" music that is played today. Give me The Libertines or Babyshambles any day....Great, Great, Great Band! What an Album !!!!! | Reviewer: Chris O'Connor ------ About the album Up The Bracket performed by The Libertines I first heard about Pete in the news and it wasn´t exactly about music that they were talking about.I found him quite interesting, although sad in a way.Someone who was supposed to have bag-fulls of talent throwing his life away by drug abuse.Then, in an article published in Rolling Stone magazine,I kept on finding out more news on Pete and a guy named Carl Barat.I thought to myself, " why all the fuss about two unknown blokes ??". In the review of "Up the Bracket", the album in RS was given a five star rating, so I got the album and since then I don't listen to anything else.I think it's a brilliant album and even my wife who is more into dance music loves it.She especially likes "The good old days" which is infact my favourite tune, rroo. If anyone reads this one day and hasn't listened to the album, then get it ASAP and you will see what the fuss is all about !!! ---- | Reviewer: Lee ------ About the song Music when the lights go out performed by The Libertines the man don't love the girl anymore i am sure.. from the lyric it tells ,the man has somehow disappointed about the fact that the girl is actually not the kind of girl he had fell in love with ...and the song doesn't focus on the feeling of the girl so it's hard to know whether or not the girl realize that...whatever the song is about...the vibe it give out is wonderful..i love it great music | Reviewer: magarel ------ About the song Music when the lights go out performed by The Libertines Actualy I think this song is about a boy who was in love with a girl but he no longer is. he fells sorry because he know that he loved her and she still loves him. "And alarm bells ring when you say your heart still sings when you're with me. Won't you please forgive me? But I no longer hear the music Oh no no no no no " this are the key lyrics to understand this great song. I prefer this song when pete is singing it alone with an acoustic guitar, it's more... heartbreaking. poor guy. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Music when the lights go out performed by The Libertines this song seems to me the story of a guy who's crazy about a girl, but she doesn't feel quite the same about him. the two go to a club, and as they're dancing he gets an idea of what's happening, and when the lights come back on he looks around and realises she's gone home with someone else. poor guy. philippa | Reviewer: george holmes ------ About the song Music when the lights go out performed by The Libertines this song reminds me of me and my girlfriend,its her funeral on wednesday feb 6th 2007.it is goimg to be played at her funeral.i love her so much and miss her dearly.she was 29 years old...R.I.P PHILIPPA JANE GREEN 15/7/78 TO 24/1/08 the very best | Reviewer: Patrik ------ About the song Don't look back into the sun performed by The Libertines first I listened to babyshambles... and than to the libertines... this christmas I got the Best of Album... with this Song... Now I know what Music really is! ! ! Patrik from Germany <3 | Reviewer: Calli ------ About the song France performed by The Libertines Wonderful, wonderful song. Peter didn't write it, for those who are saying he did. It was definitely Carl. Peter has done versions of it, but the only recording I know of him doing it's a live one from Jazz After Dark. The Baby Shambles sessions in New York were done by the Libertines, not Babyshambles.
