OMG! This made my day.. my boyfriend are smiling ear to ear!! The shambolic orchestra fit right in with the band, and Pete looked better than Ive seen him look in a long time. Almost handsome again.
I'm with you. I really like what they have done with it. There is little point in just turning up and playing it like it is on the original. They have turned it on its head. Brilliant. Well done everyone.
I try not to leave negative comments, so I'll say the drummer is alright, and I like the way they've re-harmonised it in a minor key (I think. Hard to tell). I'm not a fan of the drunken karaoke style vocals, but I never liked the original either, so I do appreciate where they were going with this!
This is a very good comment. I don't like it (I don't even like them tbh) but they have clearly reworked it in a minor key and turned a skiffle song into a bit of a sea chant. Shows some effort. They put some original twist into it, which shouldn't be taken for granted.
Jesus this is terrible. Also what are they doing using the bbc orchestra?!. Of course this is my opinion, but when did a string section sound better than guitars?!
@@54spatula Sure, they are doing pr for the upcoming album release and played one of their new songs, but this just part of getting your work out there. I think it's great that the bbc dares to bring together different genres and audiences. Maybe not the Libertines as a band but their members as (solo) artists have also branched out a lot over the years with various collaborations. Never heard them play with a classical orchestra though and I loved all the songs they did together. I wish the public broadcast fees in my country were used for productions like this.
@@suann9790 yep, I get what you’re saying and you’re right, we are lucky the license fees go into cool stuff like this. But IMO, they didn’t need a string section on this. Guitars, drums, bass and keyboards work fine.
Go John x loved it. . . The libertine way
Great voices singing together.

Love hearing John sing
No we really don’t
perfect
Love this version 😁
Interesting version. Like it.
That's so beautiful❤
Not everyone’s a fan and that’s cool, but I love this ♥️ Go on John, my son!
They really need to make more songs with John as lead singer
John has John Hassall and the April Rainers foevthat😉
@@steevburgess2627 great band. I just meant Libertines need more songs with John singing.
Brilliant. Time John had a voice. Think it’s fab Beatles style
Good to see The Libertines back. Looking forward to the new album.
Love their version ❤ Doesn't have to be for everyone, everyone's taste is different.
They’ve absolutely savaged it! sounds more like People Are Strange. Praying they don’t do any more Buddy covers .
They really need to be baddies in a new Disney cartoon movie, man!
It's so good to see the lads back together!
I feel for the musicians.
BIG BAD JOHN, GO ON MY SON!!!
It really drags
Great song, amazing vocals and band!
Jeez what a racket.
Love this, moodier version than the original of course. Strings add to that. ❤
Huh, I really fucking liked it! Looks like I’m in the minority here though
Correct....
I'm with you. I really like what they have done with it. There is little point in just turning up and playing it like it is on the original. They have turned it on its head. Brilliant. Well done everyone.
That'll be the day they killed it.
that Libertines loose guitar work and out of tune vocals hallmark that worked well for them with their first two albums feels very dated today.
They're missing that punk edge to it. Mick Jones had them sounding great.
It's different than the original. That's a point.
They seem to not enjoy a moment being here.
Tragic/Beat

@@bosco7837The original is rock’n’roll, not skiffle, and I’m baffled by the suggestion that this cover sounds like a “sea chant”.
@@paulofarrell6498 skiffle or rock'n'roll, not that much of a difference, you're splitting hairs here
@@bosco7837 Big difference if you know anything about either genre.
Dross...just pure dross
Pitch perfect
Sorry about that Buddy; unfortunately, normal service will not be resumed. Bag o'.......dirge.
Turns out this is the day the music died
Pubrock
Pub.
What a dirge! Like a funeral song
Murd3r by Num8ers
Are they tone deaf or what .... Absolutely brutal band ....
Big fan of the libs terrible cover I'm afraid
That would have Buddy turning in his grave , what a bunch of amateurs would be paid off in the local pub.
It’s awful. Doherty never could sing and he’s only got worse.
He sounds like he doing the karaoke after 8 pints.
Buddy is currently spinning in his grave. Flat as a pancake!
Yeah... pretty awful, unfortunately.
Better hope Maria Elena doesn't hear this...
Awful... No orchestra please... The soul has been lost!
Pete really needs to start eating more vegetables and getting some exercise
hopefully he carries on as he is
They destroyed a great Buddy Holly song!
That's really awful
With an Austin Powers accent: " It's a bit dodgy man!"
The strings sound good (just trying to be positive)
@@Barry101eryou just need to look at their faces😅😢😢😢... But yes, the strings section are pros
Shocking.
@@thebigman170yeah
Oh my days, everything about this is just awful.
It really is. Big Libertines fan aswell. Nothing on the original or even The La's version

How to murder a classic, 101.
What an absolute shit show that was
Going through the motions.
Going through the.... what the fuck was that
Worst cover ever
Ditto
Oh! 🤦
Oof marone
That was the worst cover of a Buddy Holly song ive ever heard......and i love the Libertines
Jesus this is terrible. Also what are they doing using the bbc orchestra?!. Of course this is my opinion, but when did a string section sound better than guitars?!
Don't worry, they were invited by the bbc
@@suann9790 suppose it all helps album sales tho

@@54spatula would definitely love to hear that version as well!
I don't think that song needed to be performed in minor. And it's a bit messy.
👍👍👍
What a disgrace. Painfull.
This is honestly the worst cover of any song in the history of music.
🐂💩😂
As a massive buddy holley fan this is awful
Massive Buddy Holly fan who can't spell their name?
This has just absolutely destroyed a fantastic Buddy holly song..😢😢😢
Awful.
It's not just awful, it's fucking awful!
That is awful would help if they could sing
How dreadful.... I hope the BBC didn't give them any of my licence money by way of paying them....
With your name being geoff you are definitely a peado
Shite
Horrible performance
Oh dear
Bloody awful
They are and where not great, Pete looks a mess
Terrible
😬😬
Its a no from me
Not very good
This is an Absolute Disgrace to associate whatever this was to Buddy Holly. Complete Failure!!! Shameful
Just terrible beyond words. This got air time...?
That was absolutely awful 😂
