the libertines will rock with or without Peter

Yeah, me too, I found the link to the post on the .org forum, here:

"The Albion is not reliant upon a certain four people being on a poster together. It is for all our souls and imaginations. I embarked upon this salty arcadian venture before I met Carlos, or any of you, and any of the other libertines past (john, gary) and present (max, neil, steve). It is reliant upon melody, not a dealers number. Upon trust, not citric acid. Upon strength and faith in adversity, not a nice windbag full of bone on a summers day belly down in the yard with twin polish birds rubbing coconut cream into me new mermaid tattoo. But we must remain open minded, and not judge others by their choice of recreation[...] It is not an elite club you can be sacked from or join or what not. If you mean legally... then, here goes... Carlos and I signed to rough trade as 'The Libertines' we are still signed to rough trade as 'The Libertines' no one else is signed to rough trade as the libertines, but carl pays a drummer and a bass player to play my/our songs with him live. They are not 'in the band' which is me and carl and steve as carved in blood at Delaney Mansions back steps, Camden road many years ago etc I am rehearsing new band members as I write (quite a task) and currently have a a grand line up to do songs old and new justice."

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG.... Carl is a good frontman but its all about the chemistry btween him and pete, like the brothers gallagher..... while there songs remain one of the best things to come out of an english studio in years, its just not the same. imagine coldplay without chris martin or rolling stones without jagger, still the same songs but just not the same.... but fear not pete is just taking a dip in the water and soon hell climb back on board the albion and this beautiful and eventful voyage will continue. in fact i think i can see arcadia in the horizon. LONG LIVE THE TINES!!!!

You guys are right The LIbertines need Peter but we must support The Libertines in their time of need not just support Peter. Gary and John are tremendous musicians regardless of whether Peter considers themt o be The Libertines or not.

by the way does anyone agree with/know anything about Peter new band??? I think he shouldn't get together a new band and when he recovers come back to the Libs.
