"I always said, you know, there's noone on this planet who's bigger than that drug, that drug's always gonna be bigger than them. But, you know, I do believe I tried everything really to stop it taking hold, but...I don't know if for better or worse...it didn't work."
Heartbreaking to watch. Carl trying to do what they thought they had to do to save Petes life. But on a happy note - we know they are in a better place and ready to give it another go. Here's hoping the bad times are behind them and they can move on to the magic that is the LIBERTINES! All four of the originals...no substitutes. Only they can create that original sound. I'm thinking they'll be better than ever!!! YEAH!!! Can't WAIT
Soo sad! I just wanted to hug Carl, he was blatantly struggling not to cry! It's such a sad sad thing to see such a great friendship and creative partnerhip fall apart. I really really miss the libertines...
"I never said I split the Libertines up. I said...put it on ice is what I said, but, yeah I mean that's what I need to do, I don't believe in breaking up Libertines and I believe in keeping promises. You know, I'll always be a Libertine, I've got it written on my arm, so I haven't got much choice really. But no, I mean, that's just a reminder."
"Although I was always adverse to what heroin and crack do, I kind of turned a blind eye to it...well no, I didn't turn a blind eye to it, I tried to address it with him but I'm sure he convinced me that, you know, he was in his stride and it was...he was using it rather than it taking control of him."
this is quite emotional this video tho i agree with some of the comments ive read after rewatching this just.. u can see the hurt in carl. :( .. oh well we can hope. 10 yrs since up the bracket was released this yr..
I think Noel's pretty okay. He's just telling the truth ;) and he only said positive things about The Libertines, so where's the matter? The Libertines ftw!! I love them so much and I won't ever stop
That's cos Carlos Loves Peter like a brother he always will, no drugs will ever change that. The Libertines will get back together now Peter is proving that he wants to stay clean and finish what him & Carlos started.
'Christian heart' and 'Catholicism'- WTF? Here's a transcription of what Carl *actually* says: "When you're recording an album about things which are so close to your heart, then there is an element of catharsism. I think we kind of sung the lyrics and didn't really...we both knew what they were about but I don't know if we really admitted that at the time."
siigh,,, ahh pete and carl will love each other no matter what forever .. i believe it was better for the friendship to 'put libs on ice' cos they would of ended up hating each other even more, even tho thats bad for us libs fans.. i still believe one day we will get something more from the libertines, and that day will be epic. for now we have to treasure what we did get, and any of their individual stuff till 'the time is right' as carl said in an interview recently......
50! That should have been way higher up! Ah whenever I see Pete or Carl talking about when Pete was really fucked up it really makes me sad - everyone involved ended up getting hurt. Same thing happened in my own family when my sister's drug habit got out of control. Things are good now but there's so much stuff that will never be the same as it was before.
@hornymiggles he's got a point though (even if it is arrogant and self fullfilling) but the dedication of fans for the libertines is the same as the dedication oasis fans have.
You can now vote for the absolute peoples choice top 100 albums of all time at 100greatestalbums(dotcom), I'm pretty sure it wont be the same as most of industry lists!
I hope all you haters making anti Noel Gallagher comments (despite the fact that he likes the Libertines and compliments them) realise that Pete Doherty and Carl Barat are fans of Oasis.
It broke my heart seeing Carl in that interview, it probably didn't help with Music When The Lights Go Out in the background. I do wish the best for them.
Noel loves the libertenes and was good friends with Carl. He is proud of how heavily oasis influenced them and gave his blessing of taking the torch as the voice of the kids. Yeah he's a bit arrogant about it but if you had such a huge influence on a band as good as the libertines wouldnt you feel pretty shit hot? I would.
@skint0n0minted Hi! I guess all we can do is hope hope hope that doesn't happen.... for their sake and ours. Peter has so much more living and creating GREAT things to do yet! Hopefully, we'll get to see/hear lots more for years to come...
aha so what if noel mentions oasis, it was true what he said, the libs were the first band to really have that relationship with their audience since oasis came about. Noels a legend, Oasis were quite influential for Pete Doherty
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of the second album. Songs like Can't Stand Me Now, Campaign of Hate, The Haha Wall and on and on are awesome. I love the second album ALMOST as much as the first but I they were way more focused on the first and you just can't top songs like the Good Old Days, Time for Heroes and Death on the Stairs. I definitely agree with you it's not about rocking out it IS about true, honest to self expression above all. Oh and I can't stand Metallica (metal period).
Why??? Just why does anything good never last. Pete and Carl get back together damn it. The fans have had enough of this nonsense. Pete, it's finally time to wake up and realize that your friends and family and your fans are way more important then the drugs.
Absolute class. But there is no fucking way Babyshambles are better than Dirty Pretty things. Albion has about 5 good tunes out of 16, whereas Waterloo to anywhere only has a couple of questionable tunes. Janie Jones is class though, good to see the boys back together. Hopefully pete is on the up.
Also how the fuck did Oasis have a relationship with the audience they used to play huge 100,000+ gigs with about 100 security gaurds between them and the audience, The Libs used to play to people in their living room!
Yeah I agree that Oasis is better, but only because they've made more records. If Pete could've keept it together they would've been so much bigger. I mean look, Liam Gallagher is cool, but Pete and Carl is cooler.
NOOO NO. I think that the Libertines self titled album was great but if you're gonna pick one then pick Up the Bracket. That album kicked way more ass.
there is no 'asking pete to leave the band'. there is 'splitting the band up' there is. 'for better or for worse. it didn't work.' imagine having to say that about your best friend...
How can you say oasis is better? Hell no, maybe Oasis is bigger and sounds more polished. But the lyrics, the melody and the vision that the Libertines stood for is something that Oasis never had and never will have.
They have the right to be a little arrogant and to be honest they are usually just telling the truth unlike other bands who are constantly all nicey nicey on camera they had a pair of bollocks about them, carl and pete massively looked up to oasis who were a band that defined an era selling over 22 million copies of the album whats the story morning glory let's face it noel gallagher is a genius, that's not to say the libertines aren't amazing because they are but the fact is they aren't oasis.
I know a hell of a lot about music, definetly enough to know that the beatles ar the most overrated bands in history, especially when true masters such as Robert Johnson, Chet Atkins and Chuck Berry nearly go unheard of. Not saying the Beatles were a bad band, there just not as good as everyone says, but I don't expect much from another mindless Beatles fan that thinks Sgt. Pepper was the best album ever and John,Paul,George and Ringo are just Godlike...
robert johnson had lik 40 songs on acoustic u cant rate him to the beatles...... he is obviously a master,, anyway rubber soul/revolver are far superior to sgt peppers easily.......
Noel Gallaghers so up himself '..they're the only band that ever have managed to generate that devotion between band and audience since oasis' oasis made some good music but god noel is arrogant
"I always said, you know, there's noone on this planet who's bigger than that drug, that drug's always gonna be bigger than them. But, you know, I do believe I tried everything really to stop it taking hold, but...I don't know if for better or worse...it didn't work."
Noel can't ever talk about another band without making it about himself.
Heartbreaking to watch. Carl trying to do what they thought they had to do to save Petes life. But on a happy note - we know they are in a better place and ready to give it another go. Here's hoping the bad times are behind them and they can move on to the magic that is the LIBERTINES! All four of the originals...no substitutes. Only they can create that original sound. I'm thinking they'll be better than ever!!! YEAH!!! Can't WAIT
Really do prefer Up The Bracket!
Soo sad! I just wanted to hug Carl, he was blatantly struggling not to cry! It's such a sad sad thing to see such a great friendship and creative partnerhip fall apart. I really really miss the libertines...
libertines ARE FUCKING AMAZING...
I will always be a libertine
bless carl. hes fighting back the tears and you can tell so obviously
The Libertines and Noel both admit the Smiths were the best band since the Beatles and the most influential band for them
"I never said I split the Libertines up. I said...put it on ice is what I said, but, yeah I mean that's what I need to do, I don't believe in breaking up Libertines and I believe in keeping promises. You know, I'll always be a Libertine, I've got it written on my arm, so I haven't got much choice really. But no, I mean, that's just a reminder."
"Although I was always adverse to what heroin and crack do, I kind of turned a blind eye to it...well no, I didn't turn a blind eye to it, I tried to address it with him but I'm sure he convinced me that, you know, he was in his stride and it was...he was using it rather than it taking control of him."
he's saying "i wrote it on my arm, so i haven't got much choice really"
this is quite emotional this video tho i agree with some of the comments ive read after rewatching this just.. u can see the hurt in carl. :( .. oh well we can hope. 10 yrs since up the bracket was released this yr..
I think Noel's pretty okay. He's just telling the truth ;) and he only said positive things about The Libertines, so where's the matter?
The Libertines ftw!! I love them so much and I won't ever stop
someone please give carl a hug!!!
I think in most of ours hearts they're as big as one band can ever get...
the way carl talks about him and pete teared me up a little
I completly agree. They deserve so much more respect..
That's cos Carlos Loves Peter like a brother he always will, no drugs will ever change that. The Libertines will get back together now Peter is proving that he wants to stay clean and finish what him & Carlos started.
I saw these guys at Leeds fest, not 4 days ago, and it was the best experience of my life.
'Christian heart' and 'Catholicism'- WTF?
Here's a transcription of what Carl *actually* says:
"When you're recording an album about things which are so close to your heart, then there is an element of catharsism. I think we kind of sung the lyrics and didn't really...we both knew what they were about but I don't know if we really admitted that at the time."

And they got together again
50! That should have been way higher up! Ah whenever I see Pete or Carl talking about when Pete was really fucked up it really makes me sad - everyone involved ended up getting hurt. Same thing happened in my own family when my sister's drug habit got out of control. Things are good now but there's so much stuff that will never be the same as it was before.
Oof. Heartbreaking. To be honest, I prefer Up the Bracket to The Libertines. It would've probably led to happier interviews in this segment as well.
@hornymiggles he's got a point though (even if it is arrogant and self fullfilling) but the dedication of fans for the libertines is the same as the dedication oasis fans have.
Aww! Poor Carl! He looks like he needs a hug!
carl the mumbler, i can hardly understand him, but i love him :)
You can now vote for the absolute peoples choice top 100 albums of all time at 100greatestalbums(dotcom), I'm pretty sure it wont be the same as most of industry lists!
I hope all you haters making anti Noel Gallagher comments (despite the fact that he likes the Libertines and compliments them) realise that Pete Doherty and Carl Barat are fans of Oasis.
It broke my heart seeing Carl in that interview, it probably didn't help with Music When The Lights Go Out in the background. I do wish the best for them.
"... since Oasis" LOL Noel, way to toot your own horn hhaha
up the bracket is so much better =/
what would you rather listen to.... a guitar with no singing, or singing with no guitar?
one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
Noel loves the libertenes and was good friends with Carl. He is proud of how heavily oasis influenced them and gave his blessing of taking the torch as the voice of the kids. Yeah he's a bit arrogant about it but if you had such a huge influence on a band as good as the libertines wouldnt you feel pretty shit hot? I would.
lmao noel. never fails to cheer me up!
one of my pet hates is when people call pete 'peter'!!
fair enuff this album is on the countdown but why isnt is this it by the strokes in it?
Aretha is a true legend!
I love Oasis and the Libertines.
i like the libertines alot there the only band to hav that divotion between the cown and the band since oasis
It has some fantastic songs but for me up the bracket is a better album
Pete just said in an intereview the other day that they (He and Carl) are not on speaking terms at the moment.
yeah i agree but think how huge the libs would be if they never split?
@skint0n0minted Hi! I guess all we can do is hope hope hope that doesn't happen.... for their sake and ours. Peter has so much more living and creating GREAT things to do yet! Hopefully, we'll get to see/hear lots more for years to come...
thanks missmoss
aha so what if noel mentions oasis, it was true what he said, the libs were the first band to really have that relationship with their audience since oasis came about. Noels a legend, Oasis were quite influential for Pete Doherty
i feel really bad for carl in this interview, long live the libertines, by far better than the beatles
i love how when noel gallagher makes a point he has to compare it to oasis
he always metions oasis
Where is the rest of this list, I would love to see how the list looks?
and the strokes helped too!
It's really heartbreaking especially around 1.55, when Pete's sitting next to Carl and you can tell he's on crack
:(
lmao he could be simply drunk... it seems more like drunk actually
what documentary is this from? must watch it
love how aretha franklin is up higher haha
yeah ur right, since when did oasis break down the barrier between artist and fans anyway?!
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of the second album. Songs like Can't Stand Me Now, Campaign of Hate, The Haha Wall and on and on are awesome. I love the second album ALMOST as much as the first but I they were way more focused on the first and you just can't top songs like the Good Old Days, Time for Heroes and Death on the Stairs. I definitely agree with you it's not about rocking out it IS about true, honest to self expression above all. Oh and I can't stand Metallica (metal period).
i dont know how carlos can sing clearly and mumble so much when he speaks
So sad!! So so Sad ='(
can't disagree w/ Imy47
Carl's so sad in this video :( wish the libertines would re-form
CARL IS ABOUT CRYING IN THE MOST OF THE INTERVIEW, IT'S HURTFUL, I MEAN HE WAS HIS BEST FRIEND EVER!!!, THAT YOU CAN'T DENY IT!
@MrMUGS94
What's "bollarks"?
Why??? Just why does anything good never last. Pete and Carl get back together damn it. The fans have had enough of this nonsense. Pete, it's finally time to wake up and realize that your friends and family and your fans are way more important then the drugs.
Absolute class. But there is no fucking way Babyshambles are better than Dirty Pretty things. Albion has about 5 good tunes out of 16, whereas Waterloo to anywhere only has a couple of questionable tunes. Janie Jones is class though, good to see the boys back together. Hopefully pete is on the up.
this is so sad to watch, long live the libertines!
A wonderful poignat album. But i must say i do prefer Up The Bracket.
i dont like these people who think they know it all. the videos of pete and carl tell the whole story
Also how the fuck did Oasis have a relationship with the audience they used to play huge 100,000+ gigs with about 100 security gaurds between them and the audience, The Libs used to play to people in their living room!
Poor carl. He's obviously still very torn up about it.
Well I think he is right about the name, can't say I have listened to them much either, so I won't comment on the shit bit.
Yeah I agree that Oasis is better, but only because they've made more records. If Pete could've keept it together they would've been so much bigger. I mean look, Liam Gallagher is cool, but Pete and Carl is cooler.
if i remeber correctle ok computer by radiohead was voted best albulm. av gt that libertines albulm like its really good
woo lord of the rings!
i can understand what noel and the other two ladies said, but i can only understand about 10% of what Carl said... :(
alguien los podria suptitular en español
catharsism, by which i think he meant catharsis
he definitely seemed sad
NOOO NO. I think that the Libertines self titled album was great but if you're gonna pick one then pick Up the Bracket. That album kicked way more ass.
there is no 'asking pete to leave the band'. there is 'splitting the band up' there is.
'for better or for worse. it didn't work.'
imagine having to say that about your best friend...
great album
carls talkin like pete is dead though lol
How can you say oasis is better? Hell no, maybe Oasis is bigger and sounds more polished. But the lyrics, the melody and the vision that the Libertines stood for is something that Oasis never had and never will have.
They have the right to be a little arrogant and to be honest they are usually just telling the truth unlike other bands who are constantly all nicey nicey on camera they had a pair of bollocks about them, carl and pete massively looked up to oasis who were a band that defined an era selling over 22 million copies of the album whats the story morning glory let's face it noel gallagher is a genius, that's not to say the libertines aren't amazing because they are but the fact is they aren't oasis.
Sorry Aretha.
all she's asking for is a little respect ok
WHYYYYY
i fuckin' hate the lord of the rings
i love the libertines
and aretha, she's okay
The Libertines are 100 times better than Oasis, you cant even compare them!
50?..behave! Esily in top 3. Fuck these "countdown" shows - bup bup budadeebup boooww
I know a hell of a lot about music, definetly enough to know that the beatles ar the most overrated bands in history, especially when true masters such as Robert Johnson, Chet Atkins and Chuck Berry nearly go unheard of.
Not saying the Beatles were a bad band, there just not as good as everyone says, but I don't expect much from another mindless Beatles fan that thinks Sgt. Pepper was the best album ever and John,Paul,George and Ringo are just Godlike...
they are good but 100 best albums?
wat the fuck libertines r a very influentual band
robert johnson had lik 40 songs on acoustic u cant rate him to the beatles...... he is obviously a master,, anyway rubber soul/revolver are far superior to sgt peppers easily.......
Noel Gallaghers so up himself '..they're the only band that ever have managed to generate that devotion between band and audience since oasis' oasis made some good music but god noel is arrogant
@skint0n0minted
And Oasis couldn't even sing that well.
Up the Bracket is a better album. Suppose they picked this one as its more 'commercial'
Also LARGE GROAN @ Noel Gallagher. Must you bring yourself into this? Ugh.
Wow, are you mad?
up the bracket is better
so sad
Wow. I hate Noel Gallagher. He's so full of himself. But I love Carl!
