You have to appreciate that not everyone can be as "cool" as Crystal Castles...this week.Grow up boys, he makes rock n roll tunes, a dying art form these days. Appreciate them while they're still here. It's going to be all laptops and neon lights for the next 40 years.

Yeah I'm holding out for the scott1uk tour with support from D. Conka, heard they hav bags of talent! The guy's a musician, he's playing a gig, if u dnt like it then dnt go and dnt read about it just to make ur useless negative comments! The name kinda gives away what the article is about so NME hardly tricked you into reading it!

and yet you two just can't stay away from reading the news every time Carl or Peter are mentioned!jeez, if he tours, then don't buy a ticket, whatever, you won't exactly be missed! and as far as wasting "talentless space", would this be a waste because you should be the one occupying this "talentless space"? um, ok then.

both of you are talking nonsense. ejits. i bet your classification of talent is something fucking boring. carl is a brilliant musician and live performer and has crafted some of the best songs this side of the millenium. hopefully some london dates will be on the cards and i'm keeping the digits crossed on a proper libs reunion.. the albion sails on freakin course!!

Ha ha ha, I used to enjoy the Libertines first album when it came out many years ago, but then I realised what other decent music was out there and when compared to the Libs, I realised how poor Doherty/Barats music was. You never know guys, you might do the same when you grow up and listen to music that can be found in other places other than an NME magazine/website.

D.Conka is right you know....Libertines were great but it introduced me to so many quality bands, The Feeling, Hoosiers, Pigeon Detectives......all keeping the Libertines spirit alive....
