Libertines

[gadfly]

Pete finally ran out of smack money i guess.

[ancient_one]

But by the time August comes around, what are the odds that Pete will be a) missing, b ) locked up, or c) no longer with us?

Quite possibly the most over-rated band in history.

I wouldn't rule out Pete and Carl doing a set together (acoustic maybe) somewhere during the weekend, technically wouldn't be the whole Libertines!

Got a funny story about Carl

The other year he played a solo set at Escobars in Wakefield. That night a coat belonging to one of the

staff went missing.

The following day the phone rang

"Hi I'm Carl Barat ! "

"Yeah OK , who are you really ! " sort of thing

Turns out Carl had somehow got hold of the coat and taken it back to his room , but made sure

the owner got it back.

Also someone posted last year that they were at the Stone Circle with their b/f and Carl wandered

up and sat with em and played some accoustic numbers for em. I am sure there is a photo somewhere.

Smack money isn't the only thing Peter would get out of bed for. I'm suprised nobody else has mentioned that Reading/Leeds was the only UK gig The Libs did without him in 2004 - Carl didn't want to do any (they cancelled Glastonbury, Meltdown and a fair few others) but they were already contracted for Reading/Leeds and couldn't get out of it. Peter would have have done this slot for 10p any time since - although he's obviously not displeased about the insane amount of money they're getting. He spent most of the time he was doing press for Grace Wastelands banging on about a Libs reunion and now he's got it. So bar actually being at Her Majesty's pleasure, he'll turn up.

erm ... I'm pretty sure you're wrong!

I saw the Libs without Pete at T in the Park, and while I'm not 100% sure that was 2004, it was certainly after the point that Pete had been kicked out and that they were doing shows without him.

anyway ....

Someone with proven good Barat connections is telling me that he'll be playing a solo show in Leftfield.

[eFestivals]

It was indeed 2004, it was their first gig in their second sting without Pete.

They were shit too.

they were - one of the most boringly shit bands I've ever had the misfortune to see.

[eFestivals]

So it seems they cant play as the libertines at Glastonbury but is there anything stopping them for a pete and carl set on the leftfield? That way they arnt the libertines or it could be cart barat and guests?

It's a Carl 'solo' show. It's not a Carl & Pete show.

Carl has his solo album to promote. It's for that reason that the Libs defo weren't going to happen this year until stupid amounts of money started being chucked their way.

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

Excellent news, I am bit of fan of Carl, I quite like DPT's first album so hopefully his solo album will be orite.

Much prefer this to a libertines show

[LondonTom]

So you'd much prefer Carl doing a solo rather than the Libs.. Have you been to a carl solo?

No offence mate but.. You're bloody crazy if you would prefer carl solo to garry john pete and carl together!!!

Good god...

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

No, I've never been to either , I just prefer DPT to Libertines hence why I think I would prefer a carl solo show to libertines

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Haha, I think you'll be disappointed if you go to a Carl solo show expecting DPT as Red Eye Jedi said. Anthony and Gary were the ones who made DPT like they were.

[Diamond Solitaire]

Any idea how much they will have got payed?

Either way, I'd say Guns n Roses will have been the biggest payed from this years Leeds headliners
