The Libertines NME Award Suicide In The Trenches / Don't Look Back Into The Sun #thelibertines #thelibertinesarchive #peterdoherty #carlbarat #garypowell #johnhassall
I knew a simple soldier boy Who grinned at life in empty joy, Slept soundly through the lonesome dark, And whistled early with the lark. In winter trenches, cowed and glum With crumps and lice and lack of rum, He put a bullet through his brain. No one spoke of him again. You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye Who cheer when soldier lads march by, Sneak home and pray you’ll never know The hell where youth and laughter go.
It always amazed me how Pete could be so bombed then just switch into 'play' mode and play every chord and sing every word in the right place. It's extraordinary!
He was and remains sketchy on the geetar. He was gifted lyrically. Carlos held it together guitar wise. The real powerhouse were John and Gary. Gary is a exceptionally gifted session drummer. Toured with macy grey and I believe owns majority of libertines catalogue. Always expected to awaken to news of Peters passing. I found addiction 20 years prior and saw his career like he was my little brother. My body is fading and he's got 10years at best. Although he has access to therapy we commoners will wait 20 more years for. Stem cells can grow him a new heart or lungs. Aww heck. At least I lived and laughed more than most.
See, this is what people mean when they say music ain't the same anymore. Most rock today is so clean and processed. This is what rock is supposed to be. Raw and messy and heartfelt and man I love this band so much
well, i mean, i like this band, but if you say that "music" is not the same anymore cause is not messy and raw you are not thinking about other genres... if you have a jazz or a progressive rock band being messy is being shit... but libertines is a garage band, you can compare it with other alternative/garage bands, not compare with "music" in general.
I love Carl's little eye roll like, are we really doing this? And then he just leans in and goes along with the whole thing like, yeah, I guess we are!
I don’t think it’s an eye roll for that reason, might be because he got smoke in his eye. Why would he make that reaction to a poem they both prob wrote.
@@kjsbadfkjlasbdg Why? Because he was addicted to narcotics? Until you talk to drunks and junkies and hear where they have came from, you would know and understand that no body in their right mind would of chosen Heroin. He is genuine and authentic and speaks more volumes than most of the synthetic and stale shite on the Hitparade.
I had the whole NME awards recorded onto VHS which I foolishly threw away some years ago... their performance and clips were the best on the show... from the war poetry to the Chas & Dave dance... classic 2004 indie days!
And here's kids in my English Lit class complaining about why we should learn WWI poetry. Maybe I'll show my students this and say: "Look, this is what you can become, boys, with a bit of poetry in you at the tip of your tongue."
@@markmcdowell2733 Pete did end up with Kate Moss when they were both at their height of fame. It wasn’t his money that attracted her, nor his looks; so yes do teach your boys the importance of poetry! And who knows where it could take them.
DRUGS have no place in the systems of such CLEVER and TALENTED people like these 2 guys. Pete and Carl have written some AMAZING songs that just blows the mind. My greatest wish is that they stay healthy and safe so that they can keep writing and delivering more fantastic music in their respective careers as artists and performers ❤️
Riley Berry You are ABSOLUTELY correct Riley (another beautiful name which I love ❤️) I’ve noticed the same thing and have never been able to fathom out how drugs helps them to be such GENIUSES but they DO, it works. I’ve known and seen many drug addicts who are lifeless, lethargic and can barely string a sentence together and then you get guys like these, it blows my mind. They write phenomenal lyrics and come up with the music and beats for every instrument they use to produce a song that is amazing. Sadly that’s not something everybody can do, but a lot of these artists who can, deserve all the success they achieve 👌🤗
@@JulieJulieTheRockChickhermiz You'll enjoy a lot of Peter's and The Libs latest performances so, Peter seems to have found love with Katja and has a bit of timber on him that at least his 6'4 frame can carry well. That boy (and what that band did) will live on in infamy forever. 'If you've lost your faith in love and music oh the end won't be long..' and I truly believe that's what kept Peter alive in the darkest of days, followed by the pretence of a hollow, artificially brightened night..faith..in both love and music. Hope you're doing well Julie, lots of new footage from their recent gigs in Coventry Cathedral on here if you need a quick pick me up! : )
Geewiz there so cool, avant-garde & of there time here... They are the essence of rock & roll... God bless the good ship Albion, we're all setting sale for Arcadia.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️👍👌✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
You know you have a drug problem when...Keith Richards tells you to dial it down a notch in an interview, and The Osborns, Liam Gallagher, and Courtney Love all want to stage an intervention (!)
I thought i left y Libertines hardfangirl phase behind, it always comeback... such an amazing band, I would never be able to express my feelings about them.
Carl has always been a pro, love him for that. Pete has sometimes been a fuckup (waited for him for 3 hours in Hultsfred 2006 in a cold summer night) and love him for that.
Pete was higher than my anxiety levels
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you’ll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
Tory New Labour ... poem for Tony

It wouldn’t be a libertines performance without Carl and Pete singing into the same mic. Fucking love this band man

+kroozader Raw and messy in the performance, but I'm glad drugs is being frowned upon in rock music nowadays. I'm sure Pete and Carl would agree.
***** Sure, me too. At least heroin and cocaine for sure.
Untitled Work In Progress Yeah %100 Agree with that , Love this Band so mutch 😃😃😃

see the courteeners and the enemy
The Libertines were a band to believe in

@@jamescastle9953 siegfried wrote suicide in the trenches, though they did make a simple song together out of it to help pete learn guitar
I love Pete and always will, but dam you can tell he was higher than a kite.
Pete would fail a field sobriety test, before said test started.
What a waster, what a fucking waster.
His guitar wasn’t even plugged in like 15 seconds in lol

@@fretboardmaster70 I was just light heartedly quoting a lyric from the band, you listened to them?
the best acceptance speech EVER.

Still loving how they recite Suicide In The Trenches by Siegfried Sassoon, by heart. Really shows how special they are as persons.
Hi 👋🏼 just started to listen to the libertines music again and it’s amazing ❤❤❤
I need to spend more time reading poetry. It sounds so beautiful
Gary is amazing, the skill it takes to play along to Pete's and Carl's chaotic rhythm never fails to amaze me
the good old days
Not sure whether the reference was intended
no this is dont look back into the sun
Damn I miss them.
these are the good old days, bro!
One of the best bands of this generation! Love The Libertines so much!
holy fuck, what a speech, what an appearance! these guys are incredible!
2021 and I always find myself clicking on this. #brilliant. 2024 and still clicking on it. 🎉
Still one of the best bands going. Had the pleasure of seeing Peter a few months ago x
This boys are killing me. Their songs are so damn good.
Best band of the past 20 years. This is a real rock n roll band.
The man is a genius, and like all geniuses most never realise this until after he passes
I had the whole NME awards recorded onto VHS which I foolishly threw away some years ago... their performance and clips were the best on the show... from the war poetry to the Chas & Dave dance... classic 2004 indie days!
It's 2016 and I'm still watching this. It's just so gREAT. :D
ME TOO!!!
Laetitia Li 2017 for me
2020 now ,Still in love with boys in the band :D fcking genius Peter
2020 now doe
2020 here geeeerz where did time go
It’s been one HELLOVA year. 2019 and this band still rules!
And here's kids in my English Lit class complaining about why we should learn WWI poetry. Maybe I'll show my students this and say: "Look, this is what you can become, boys, with a bit of poetry in you at the tip of your tongue."
Not sure these are the best role model for young literature learners
@@richarddavies5674 good to see irony isn't lost on you. Although, I'm actually a fan of The Libertines and Doherty's Romantic sensibilities.
@@markmcdowell2733 Pete did end up with Kate Moss when they were both at their height of fame. It wasn’t his money that attracted her, nor his looks; so yes do teach your boys the importance of poetry! And who knows where it could take them.
Whoever was working the boards at this performance really dropped the ball
They were pretty erratic performers to be fair, great chemistry, loved them but not the sound engineer's fault
@@SavoPaddy i mean petes guitar is just way too low
My God... at the time we thought of the New Rock fad(?) as a kind of preconceived dead cat bounce, but these chaps were and are so charismatic.
The end "have some manners please. We're trying to conduct a civilised interview" omg 😂😂😂😂
I can't help it. I love them!
This is so beautiful to see, pure rock.

How is he still alive?!

God knows. I asked him.
More drugs
More and more cocaine
1:17 looks as if carl went in for a kiss on the lips, awwww.. pete behaved.
+londonwaits think it's the other way around, look closely! also check out pete's disappointed and midly offended reaction
+Jokanaan I'll settle for a mutual disappointment, that would mean both were hoping for it. hehehe.
