Doherty & Barat impromptu reunion

by Dean Samways [Edit this content] ▾ 30 comments 15:35 September 18th, 2008

Former Libertines band mates and likely lads Pete Doherty and Carl Barat joined forces once again last night when they performed an impromptu set in London town.

The surprise performance took place at the Prince of Wales pub in Camden where Doherty was playing his own material for an MTV documentary before a gaggle of fans.

When Barat strolled out on stage though the congregation couldn’t believe their luck.

The cockney couple performed classics from their days as leaders of The Libertines, including 'Don’t Look Back Into The Sun' which transformed into a rendition of Oasis’ 'Don’t Look Back In Anger'.

DiScuss:Could this be the beginning of a new start for the boys? We’re sure one music mag would have you believe so.

'Boys In The Band' by The Libertines performed on Later...

Fucksake.

Can't believe how interested in this band I used to be, compared with how much I want them to fuck off now.

It won't be happening any time soon ...

expect this "will they / wont they" soap to keep on rearing its ugly head until they "finally give in for the fans" and play the o2 Arena.

Incidentally

I live 100 miles from London and yet I'm still being asphyxiated by the smell of NME writers drowning in their own ejaculate.

Damian | 18 Sep '08, 16:05 | X | Reply

what fresh hell is this...

covering 'Don't Look Back In Anger'?

Did they do 'Brown Eyed Girl' and 'How You Remind Me' as well?

Caral Barat = that Tony bloke off of Hollyoaks

I knew there'd be a good reason to open this thread.

What a couple of cunts!

I wish the two of them would admit to child abuse offences then commit suicide.

itakesmack @simon9 | 19 Sep '08, 13:04 | X | Reply

the amount of cunts on here

is astonishing.

it makes me cringe to look back.

laisla @wrightylew | 20 Sep '08, 19:44 | X | Reply

Hmmm

I lived abroad when this whole 'Libertines changed fucking everything' thing started, so I missed the fuss.
If I'm honest, when I came back, the Sopranos caught my interest more.... these cunts couldn't even play properly (Doherty still can't, I hope he goes away soon).

'oooh but that's part of the attraction...'

then you are a twat. 'Don't look back into the sun' was O.K, but seriously...

don't be sucked in by what you are supposed to like.

Get a helmet.

Give this man a medal. Unfortunately there'll always be the people who are so desperate to be cool they'll drink at The Hawley arms, wear clothes that make them look stupid and try to have sex with people in bands.
These people will always like The Libertines.

These people are very soon going to be drinking in the 'new Hawley', if they're not already.
It looks like that's what they're trying to turn the Prince of Wales into...

It's quite a funny thread

why shouldn't people call them cunts and be generally disparaging if they feel like it? It's hardly productive, I agree, but it's also not unjustified.

disgusting yet amusing

10 out of 10 sir

iamwiggy @Damian | 22 Sep '08, 23:47 | X | Reply

i

still fucking love the libertines

but i don't give a shit about the two of them playing together, if they got together, wrote some new songs, released it, esp. with the rest of the band, THEN i would be well interested, but for now this is about as interesting as warm pint of carling.
