For me I put Carl on a par with Pete and Pete is definitely not quite the same without Carl along side him. Together they're one of the all time great song writing partnerships, up there with Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards, Marr/Morrissey and Brown/Squire.
Love it. And they mention my hometown "Blackburn, Lancashire" and a band I used to be in. "4000 Holes", which was named so because of that particular lyric!
Thank you! Great idea =) That must've been a load of work, doing this video, but it was totally worth it! And it looks very professional to me (though I'm an absolute amateur ;) ).
but carl had joint writing duties, and carls a genius on that guitar, and his vocals are amazing, im not diagreeing with wot u say about pete tho.. petes a very gifted poet, singer, songwriter, musican yes.. but yeah.. deffo carl needs to be appreciated more than he is!
Surfed onto this after listening to Jeff Beck’s sublime version. Honestly expected this smackrat to murder this song, but it’s actually a really a nice version. Good stuff.
@skrupzak i don't believe gary powell or john hassle are geniuses ... they sure can play drums and bass... but it doesn't make them amazing artists. Barat is good, i like him, and there are some pictures of him. Yet Peter Doherty is the real gifted poet. He has got something he is the only one to have.. it's not only charisma, not only voice, not only looks, not only way of thinking...it's the whole him. I think he deserves a special treatment because he is a very special person.
10 years later after the uploading of the video. I'm so glad that Pete&Carl have performed this song live one more time in 2017, which is better than this one! (Since they now stand together to sing and they communicate a lot, while in the days back then they barely spoke to each other and they recorded this one seperately. ) Wish both of them good health, their story has been very different from that of the Beatles...
@Mr Right - Apart from FOR LOVERS your comment is so wrong. Pete has the character in his voice, but it is Carl who always produced the better music. Pete would've been nothing without Carl. Hence DPT was better than Babyshams
This is actually a very good cover. Of course it cant touch the original but that's because you can't improve on perfection. But they did do it justice. And I'm not a babyshambles fan. Its good they didn't screw around with the original composition and arrangement,because it normally messes it up when you try and re arrange and change an established gigantic classic like this. Your best off just covering it like this. 8 out of 10
Don't get me wrong I feel the same way about him as you and I listen to a lot of his solo stuff, but if you have haven't noticed, The Libertines wouldn't be the same without Carl either. there is a big difference between a Libertines cd and a Doherty cd. If I watch a Libertines video I expect to see the band, the same way that I expect to see only Peter in one if his videos
I`m a big Fan of the libertines. Here`s how i see it. Pete and Carl (The Libertines (Soz John & Gary) 10-10. Pete & Babyshambles. 9-10.Pete Solo. 8 1/2-10 Carl & Dirty Pretty Things.5-10.Carl Solo.6-10. Carl needs Pete to bring the best out of Him. When They are together,i love Them equally. Pete is the one that i will follow with more anticipation. My dream is Pete/Carl. Let`s wait & see.
... but the end wasn't faded out nicely at all! All that great work you did, just to cut it off so crudely before it's ended ..., - what a real shame. (PS: I'm curious: all those pics, did they come from a private archive, or the internet?)
Wow, Peter is unbelievably beautiful...
barat/doherty is the best musical combination since lennon/mccartney

Thank you!
Great idea =)

@KaneEagle Carl's very good, Peter's a genius. I found there's more reasons to be fond of Peter. It's more than reason, it's heart actually.
but carl had joint writing duties, and carls a genius on that guitar, and his vocals are amazing, im not diagreeing with wot u say about pete tho.. petes a very gifted poet, singer, songwriter, musican yes.. but yeah.. deffo carl needs to be appreciated more than he is!
wohow lucky you, i just spoke to him once for a few minutes in Paris, he sure is sweet!
God i love that man

the best beatles cover ever

Let's be honest the libertines are better than both babyshambles and dirty pretty things, showing that Pete and Carl both needed each other.
Personally think Babyshambles are as good as the Libs
Dirty Pretty Things was better than Babysham... They were a mess.
@Mr Right - Apart from FOR LOVERS your comment is so wrong. Pete has the character in his voice, but it is Carl who always produced the better music. Pete would've been nothing without Carl. Hence DPT was better than Babyshams
i like how you make the pictures fit to the song :D
you could more pictures with carl on though...
Great cover

"horrorshow" I like it much!
Not many photos of Carl i noticed!
nice video :D I love the picture at 1:14 when he says:" the english army......" but still, there is 4 members of The Libertines, not just Peter...
haaahhh,love him(pete)!!!
hope i can meet him.. -_-
i thought the same, hes so underated..
que sin conocidos ? hahaha maldito animal
son los mejores !

@crubba *One of the best. Morrissey/Marr and both Pete and Carl would agree.

@merryberry21 yeah true, true.
@Cowface95 i think you misspelt albarn/coxon
@moogus8000 because they wanted to pay tribute to paul and john, and because if someone had to cover the beatles it had to be them.
where can I get this song? grat vid:)
the first part is sung by pete and the middle one by carl?
y ellos son conocidos_?
@joshsmith1992 I hate when people spell his name wrong. I wish I got into libertines but i'm always to lazy to listen to their songs at some point
pete is the new john lennon, the best now
@crubba had thought it before
that was directed at some comment below
jag med :D ska du se honom på söndag eller måndag?
carls on top form here.....
Yeeeii im like 666🤘🏼🍻
@crubba
Agreed
Me
@Cowface95 haha now that would be brilliant... too many egos for one room tho, maybe? :P
Liam and Noel were hardly a song writing team
oh cool u met him,or u actually mates with him?
Despite Doherty being an utterly odious excuse for a human being this is pretty good
nob below...\/
@Raeafu
nope, do you? but i could specify that i dont like some stuff he did or the music of him and his band... ;)
really great cover.
in fact i don't like pete, which makes my compliment even greater :D
Pete's voice has character, but Carl is the better singer.
??
??
Absolutely fantastic! Well done! If you get a chance check me out I have a channel where I extract John Lennon's parts!
Actually prefer this to the original! Sorry Beatles fans
your opinion, is wrong, in my opinion
71hammyman your opinion of his opinion is wrong, in my opinion.
Josh Hart absolutely nothing on the original, really, but still a good cover
I think it‘s a good cover, but definitely not as good as the original
Petes better than carl get a grip Carl's nothing without Pete
