Serge was amazing, Kasabian were the perfect build up to what turned out to be the best gig I've ever attended. The hype around knebworth during Fire while Liam flew overhead in a helicopter was something I'll always remember
kasabian was so good never heard them before knebworth now listening everyday
Mate, I was looking around at the crowd during Fire, unbelievable, they absolutely smashed it at Knebworth
You and me both brother 👊
Reèeaaallllyyy 🏆
Its hilarious how all the left over Kasabian fans go out of their way to say how great they are with serge as front man 🤣
They are a great band and will always sound kickass and loud, but serge cannot sign as good as Tom and he just doesn't have the on stage presence as him. And no amount of jumping around like he's at a rave will make up for that.
Sorry, but Kasabian without Tom is like ordering an Irish coffee without the Whiskey.
Shouldn’t beat women then should he 🤷🏻♂️
@@CubsyV1.0 You obv don't know the whole story then...just what the papers have said.
@@spanishpeaches2930 Typical, innit? James Hargreaves's recent interview with Tom shed a bit more light on the situation.
@@AfterBurner369 ...and other vids too. I did see the JamesH vid as well. It did seem like they ...Serge...were just looking for an excuse and they found it. Tom is obv ...or was..a troubled character, but he's turned his life around, got married and will hopefully sell out a lot of venues in the future. Serge has written or co written some great material, but it seems his ego could no longer suffer the humiliation of not being front and centre of everything. He was always Tom's wingman imo.
@@spanishpeaches2930ngl, in my opinion, kasabian would have probably been unheard of if it weren't for what Serge brings to the band
Serge is the second best frontman Kasabian has ever had, and that's all he ever will be.
Facts
I watched a recent video that explained Tom’s situation and Serge and the band were freezing Tom out before the incident over lockdown. Serge is a total Judas and the band are flat without Tom.
Yes, I’ll miss Tom, but looking forward to his new album in May! We still have the old music and videos!❤
Kasabian have the name but they haven’t got Tom’s voice!!! Not the same and never will be!!!
he sounds more like the songs than tom does
@@jacobnish4475 - 😂😂😂
@jacob nish no he doesn't he doesn't come close
@@jacobnish4475you need a pair of ears
rubbish, Tom's killin it og@jacobnish4475
Lovely man. Stepped up when it was needed most. Endless respect for keeping an elite band going. Serge, you're the man 🚀🧪
By shitting on he's best mate?
No Tom. No party
@@tonyh8965 Yep, Tom's stage presence was kasabian!
@steven mihaly Tom's assault isn't something that anyone else planned
@steven mihaly ah yes, blame the one who didn't assault a child's mother in front of her, threatening to smash her head in with a mallet before assaulting her, dragging her by the feet and locking her in a hamster cage. Can't blame the band for not wanting to work with someone capable of that.
I’ve heard of kasabian before but never knew anything about them. I went to knebworth on Saturday and these guys absolutely smashed it. Especially Serge, I was shocked when I found out that he wasn’t the bands original lead singer.
Decent tribute act these lads 👍🏻
Tom is definitely needed back. Serge is talented, but Tom has a better vocal range.
Sadly for Kasabian (and us), Tom has moved on. Can’t wait for his new album in May!❤
Tom alone is more Kasabian than the current band itself
surge cant sing thats clear to see sounds like a dying cat and toms new album is bloody boring need to reform
He assaulted his wife so no, we don’t need him back
@@kappagreYh but his wife is still with him can’t be that bad everyone should be forgiven
Backstabber.
No Tom no Party simple Tom was the essence of that band
I like Serge and love Kasabian but hope they bring Tom back one day
me too
Will never be the same without Tom!
@@joanneblackburn8854 agreed
Its a tough one though cos tom is obviously the better singer but serge isn't awful and if the band prefer serge its the right decision
Not the same without him, I’ve seen them live since their early days until Tom left I get Serge stepping up but it’s just not there for me.
Have a feeling he always angled for this now Tom is coming out speaking more and more recently.Truth always shines better than the bull£hit.
Yes!❤
Same. Can't help but feel like he always wanted to be the frontman and jumped at the oppurtunity to boot him.
I saw Kasabian at Neighbourhood. Serge was brillant! Tom was mega but Serge is doing such a good job!
What a crock ...he was garbage
Never was into Kasabian, just a randomly listen to them. But for some reason I always feel that Serge is a mastermind behind Kasabian since the beginning.
He is! He writes most of the songs and even produced the more recent albums
He always was. He is the primary songwriter and producer.
Chris Karloff
that was best gig ever
You don’t throw your best mates under the bus.End of.Everyone has personal issues,everyone has done things they aren’t proud of,things they would rather forget.Liam has fathered illegitimate kids,had affairs,advocated drugs..where is Kasabians morals with that? Plus the footage of Liam grabbing his fiancé round the neck.That didn’t look too good.
On a positive spin..Tom went on to marry his girlfriend & is cracking on with his solo career and good luck to him ✌🏾
Spot on mate, who needs enemies with friend like that eh
They’ve gone from rock to pop but yeah agree what kind of morals have they backing a muppet like him .I think serge has had this planed from when he tried his SLP Experiment which for me was a limp lettuce . Judas had more morals than serge
The Sid James thumbnail tells me all I need to know about you.
For f*ck sake, MOVE ON!!
spot on .. they missing something clearly
Got to bring Tom back
top man but tom is the front man just not the same
Well, he isn't.
Serge has done a good job but please please please, its time to bring Tom back
And forget what he admitted to just 2 years ago? Move on.
@@stevenmccallum4268 His partner forgave him and later married him. If she can, why can't the band?
@@stevenmccallum4268None of us are perfect, it's the human condition. He's done his time.
I had never heard anything of or seen Kasabian until Knebworth, I was shocked that he wasn’t the front man from the start
Jesus where have you been for the last decade lol
2:22
That was me, I'm 27 I've never gone out of my way to listen to Kasabian, I knew most of their big songs and they've always been in the ether. Saw them supporting Liam and have walked away a big fan, was shocked when my friend told me after he wasn't the front man before this show. Crazy
It’s a big divide the new Kasabian era with Serge fronting. I would love to see Tom play with them again when the time is right if it is to happen but I think Serge is doing a great job. It’s not the same no but it feels fresh in a way.
Serge was always envious of Tom's spot. His vocal range is higher and can't hit Tom's presence on stage. KASABIAN ditched their front man when he was having a mental breakdown and for that they'll never have respect.
Loved Tom but having just been to see Kasabian with Serge as front man, live at Hampden supporting Liam. I gotta say Serge is my new fave front man of any band. He was fucking outstanding! Abso rocked the fuck out the place and the energy he put in was incredible.
Before the gig i was apprehensive about how this would work (hadnt seen Serge as the front man) but i was blown away by Serge's performance.
Nah serge = shite
He was so so good, love him
Seen them recently Sergio is badass
Imagine Oasis sacked Liam in 1995 because of his behaviour? Ridiculous
I like Tom Meighan's voices. Its never the same without tom.
How many has he got then?😂
Sadly it doesn’t really matter who writes the songs and who plays the instruments, the lead singer will always be the focal point and define a band. Kasabian just don’t seem like kasabian snymore.
I thought they were finished, but Serge does a great job. Off to see them in October in Manchester
I wanted to but tickets sold out soooo fast for standing tickets
They were ducking nuts at knebworth, stole the show no question about it!
Serge finally got what he wanted. He was trying to push Tom out of the band way before the court case. After Tom pleaded guilty to assault, Serge had the perfect opportunity to fire him. Not a single one of his bandmates reached out to help him, and were happy to let the media tear a mentally ill man apart. The only person who stood by Tom during his mental breakdown and rehabilitation was his girlfriend Vikki (now his wife). Vikki never wanted to press charges, the police did. She also wanted to defend him in court because he was in desperate need of medical help, and she was denied. There's always more to a story than a trashy tabloid headline. Don't believe everything you read.
Followed Kasabian for years from London to Eden Project and love em but miss Tom. Sorry
Tom was great but Serge always had a front man presence too good luck to them all. All talented 😎 serge always looks cool
😂😂😂
This is wrong on so many levels. Why the hell was their previous frontman fired for something which is nobody's business?
Secondly, at least get a vocalist who can actually hold the mic properly. Any pro will tell you that you DO NOT hold the mic by its head.
Serge is now the front man of one of the biggest bands in the world with absolutely no front man experience. IMO it’s too much, too soon. Tom was natural AF
Top guy, hasn't got the voice to front a band like Kasabian though let's be honest
Yea, nah, picking your moral outrage to suit your desires, who needs enemies with friends like that, Kasabian finished for me when tom left, good luck to them though
Tom better singer its not kasabian
Sad they binned Tom. He made a mistake. Serge and him used to be best friends. Shame cos their crap without him.
Several mistakes it wasn't an isolated incident
@@Monty-xs7hp you in the know fuvkin diddy
@@Monty-xs7hp actually it was , and it was a mental health issue
@@ivblizzard3616 it wasn't just mental health he apologised with lots of excuses after
What happened to Tom????
These guys dropped their mate because of a woke mob .. Very sad, not really rock and roll... Won't watch them now ..
I doubt whether a Tommy Robinson/English Defence League bigot like you listened to much Kasabian in the first place.
So pleased to see this band still going ❤
I could never take this band seriously.
Now, I definitely can't!
I sas there on the second night a couple of places from the from of the stage with my 11 year old son and the place was mental.....I was absolutely banana's the atmosphere......it wasn't really anything to do with him as a front man...it was just the road were passed and full of energy.....the noise all night from the speakers was really loud and bassy so as soon as they played their guitars the crowd went nuts
No Tom,No Kasabian.. Serge drop your ego..
Love Serge 🔥😎
Saw Kasabian at Isle of Wright festival last year, they was incredible even without Tom, been a fan since the first album so was really happy 😁🙌
Kasabian were a lot better with Tom
I saw them before Liam Gallagher. Serge prancing around like he's a rapper half the set. It was a shadow of the band I used to watch! The ego of this guy.. and to cast Tom aside over something nothing to do with the band is ridiculous. Looks to me like serge is a conniving weasel of a man.
Yes jesus look at rock bands before him,it was a domestic. he's went on to marry the woman, we all make mistakes
Yeah, I’m in total agreement. To discard Tom the way he did down to something that had nothing to do with the band is beyond me.. The name ‘Kasabian’ derives from Linda Kasabian, a member of ‘The Manson Family’ who was present at the Sharon Tate murder, and another one I might add! Now I’m not in any way, shape, or form condoning domestic violence towards anyone. It’s a little bit “Pot. Kettle. Black” though I think?! Team Tom…
the fact that they got married eventually shows that it was an isolated incident not his overall behavior , he apologized , asked for help and he admitted he wasnt himself for that period of time ... instead of support from the band he got dropped
All Tom
Funny that Kasabian without Tom is the same as Oasis without Liam
You might write the songs Serge (or Noel), you may play the songs... but you aren't the aura of the band
they are finished tbh , no Tom no party
Got tickets for Liam at Hampden so will be rocking up to see Serge and the boys, loved Kasabian don't no if it will feel the same without Tom, all bands break up split or fracture so guess it happens and loving Tom's solo stuff as well
I sort of agree Ross mate but what really worries me is that too many "Tom fans" are so keen to dismiss his violent behaviour towards a woman. That was never part of the Kasabian ethic was it?
@@hopebgood or any type of violence but has owned his mistakes and don't know the details but did get married to her which says slot.
They are over for me.
Load of tosh now
Tom...Tom...Tom!!!! love you Serge....but Tom...Tom...Tom!!!
Serge could have his own band ..but still calling it Kasabian isn’t right ..that ship sailed ..it’s not Kasabian without Tom
Bit low to keep using the bands name, why not go solo or start something new.
So down to earth, top bloke!
what a gig the best ever i had the best time of my life
The guy Chris is talking about around 2:40 is me. That was my introduction to Kasabian and now I'm a proper fan. And then when I was researching them, I am still astounded that Sergio wasn't the front man because when I've gone back and watched Tom performing live, I prefer Serge. So I'm confused how the had the better singer for nearly 20 years and didn't use him.
Have you seen their reading 2017 performance, watch fire on that, and then watch their latest performance of fire, sorry but they’re just not as good without Tom, still a huge fan of serge and kasabian tho
@@Jake-ie6bi - Obviously, this guy doesn’t have any musical knowledge! Tom has a phenomenal voice! ❤. Looking forward to his new album in May. (Any concert video of Tom singing “Fire” is electric!)
Saw him at truck. Absolutely phenomenal.
Bought an LG Bucket Hat just before Kasabians set and lost it in the pit for Fire about 45 mins later
Just watched Kasabian at the radio x presents gig and serg was fucking amazing 👏👏👏
I’m sorry I’ve seen kasabian many times & it’s just not as good without Tom. Different voice & a better one. Without Tom it just lacks something. I’ve recently heard toms new tunes like would you mind, movin on & icarus & imo they are better than Kasabian’s new stuff so far.
exactly
Got my tickets for London in October buzzing
Serg is a shithouse.he shouldn’t have turned his back on his best mate just so he could be the front man.his friend needed his support
Serge has wanted to be the frontman of Kasaiian for years. If Noel Gallagher had sacked Liam but continued with Oasis, it would have been a very different band, and not as good. Thats exactly what this new Kasabian is. Sorry, but its very rare that great frontmen can be replaced. I know of only two examples, AC/DC and Van Halen. Serge Pizzorno aint Brian Johnson or Sammy Hagar!!!! 😂😂😂
They should never have sacked Tom. You don’t do it. Serge is a serious Judas.
He envied Tom as a frontman and deep down wanted his position
After all its well known that just because you write all the music melodies, chords , lyrics , bridge , song layouts , harmonies, solos
It's the fella in the centre singing the song that gets the attention from the girls
@@dorkbrandon4422 I’m not a kasabian fan, but they band aren’t the same without Tom. It just doesn’t work the same and they seem muted. I saw bits of Tom’s solo gig with his new band and they sound much better. I also saw a video that explained what happened with Tom and apparently the band were freezing him out way before the incident over lockdown. Serge is a total Judas.
Come on people, hit the like button!. Seriously YNWA
Bring back Tom
Kasabian should have ended their legacy when Tom left. It's just sad seeing them as they are now. Using the Kasabian name when the band is anything but that.
It’s what he has wanted for last few albums before what happened with tom. Tried turned them into the beastie boys
No Tom no kasabian
yawn
Shite without Tom 😂
Father serge
Classic woke up Keith Richards then turned Mick Jagger
The way they treated Tom was absoloutley disgusting, talk about throwing a mate under a bus! Ffs
Clown.
Serge is more of a front man than Tom ever was. Nothing against Tom but it always felt to me he was trying to hard. . Seen 6 times. Enjoyed just as much a man down.
Serge is a sausage
This dude always wanted that front man job any how..that was always obvious to me...unfortunately he just don't have the voice to pull it off ...it is what it is
He was best when he just wrote the songs and stood on the left side of the stage rocking it out in his cool outfits adding backing vocals
He's not a front man
@@trumpsdailytruthsmakelibsc6952 that's what I thought mate too..him n Tom together made it .serge background vocals was OK but not strong anough for main vocal in my eyes ..tho he tries hard ..I don't condone what Tom did .it's his business. Thought his band would stick up for him..dont really no or care about the ins n outs...care about the music ...and Tom made it for me ...it's 50 50 in good bands..singer n band both need to rock..I just don't take to serge .sorry .don't mean no disrespect tho ..it is what it is..we all got different ears
spot on
A fantastic band but Tom for me is a missing piece.
snake
He's not even 20% the frontman that Tom is.
Serge is the Jerry Cantrell of Kasabian, now that pesky lead singer is out of the way he can be front and centre(!)
Serge knows his voice is weak
It doesn’t work. Kasabian is nothing without Tom.
Never a fan of Kasabian - But let's face it .. they kicked out Tom very quickly. More readies for Serge. Sorry don't mean to be to cynical here. Who thinks it was a little quick? Obviously Tom was out of order for what he did.
So we're the Government for falsely keeping everyone in lockdown. Circumstances of lockdown led to the incident. It's completely understandable in that context.
Never liked kasabian but since serge took lead much better more energy
Just stop bouncing around
😂
Yeah he does doesn't he like a right prat
Your not Tom and never will be. Tom made Kasabian. Tom is Kasabian
Hes a terrible singer
You ain't a front man Serge. Patch it up. People make mistakes.
Not as good as Tom 💩
