who sings what?

[niallo22]

Hi I have never seen the libs live,only ever heard what I have on cd,does anyone know who sings on what song?To me it sounds mostly like pete singing but my mate argues that carl sings most,if anyone could reply with who sings what song that would solve our argument!Thanx!

[Dustonmytambourine]

We've had a thread with this on (a couple of times), tyr this one:

libertines.proboards11.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1095243652&start=

where Jim sums up the first albums songs quite well.

You can generally tell by listening though, Carl has a more nasal voice, Pete's is more ...(searching for adjective)..snarly?

Anyway it's a wonderful combination ;D


Loads of the songs have them both singing anyway

[Dustonmytambourine]

That's a whole new discussion topic in itself - find an adjective to describe Pete's voice ;D

[CapitanoPietroDoerzio]

fresh!soulful!tender!

I think petes voice is soft,like on this is for lovers,warm like on music when the lights go out and angry like on what a waster............in fact it can be anything he wants it to be!

Okay.. working on more...
The "background" thing is a bit confusing here..when it isn´t mentioned specifically then it´s usually John and Pete and/or Carl...

Hope that´ll help

"Sister Sister" Johnny boi

[Dave]

Good job Nev, but a couple of minor niggles - Carl sings the verse starting with 'But don't be coy with me...' in Don't Be Shy, and Pete sings with Carl the 'shoop shoop de-lang de-lang' bits in What Katie Did.

[Dave]

Since I'm bored, here's some more:

"The Delaney" Pete
"May Day" Both
"Skag And Bone Man" Pete (Carl background)
"Bangkok" Pete
"Don't Look Back Into The Sun" Pete sings the first verses, both sing the chorus and Carl takes over from 'Don't look back into the sun, you got your past but you're on the run...'
"Skint And Minted" I think they both sing some lines, but it's hard to tell
"Mockingbird" Pete
"Cyclops" Carl sings the slow verses, Pete sings the slightly faster bits (most of the song)
"Dilly Boys" Pete (Carl background and a few other lines near the end)
"Never Never" Pete
"I Got Sweets" Carl (Pete background)
"All At Sea" Pete

[Dave]

What the hell was that supposed to be?

Cola Queen is NOT by the same band, it's a crappy earlier different band who were also called The Libertines. Neither are Someone Else's Song and a couple of others. However, Scarborough Steve does sing on the demo version of Tell The King (DLBITS b-side).
