What was it like when The Libertines and The Vines did some shows together?
Did anything crazy happen?
Do the bands like each other?
Did Craig and Pete become friends?
Full Version: The Libertines And The Vines
They did some shows together? 
The Libertines supported them in the UK for about 6 shows I think.

the libertines opened for the vines in the UK for a few shows back in the spring of 2002. i think i have a show review that ran in NME somewhere...just need to dig around and find it.
anyway, a biography came out on pete doherty last year that had this little anecdote pete shared about craig from their time together on that tour...
"...Something as simple as Craig Nicholls from The Vines coming down and listening to our soundcheck, and dancing to our soundcheck, really set me at ease, and ever since then, it's always been really important that support bands, and bands we go on tour with, are good people. Yeah, that quite impressed me and whatever happened since then, whatever tantrums he had and when he didn't give me much weed, I'll always remember him in his little Adidas top dancing around to 'Boys in the Band'. I didn't see anything of his supposed madness, what I did see signs of was the people around him giving him every opportunity to act like that, excluding people from him that maybe he might have liked to have met. No one's ever been able to control me like that."
wow, a lot has happened since then, eh?
Aw, thank you, that was a nice read.

The Vines seem to be good supporting pals
. There are so much bands who prefer to speak ill of the others in the magazines.QUOTE(wonkytooth @ Jun 29 2006, 05:25 AM)

Wow, he's criticizing the entourage of Craig.
I like the "no one's ever been able to control me", still so true now.

want to see it !!!
They were doing a road journal thing when they were touring with the Libs. There was a bit about how they were all in a pub drinking bloody marys, and got really drunk and did a lot of crawling around on hands and knees in the toilets.
I only remember it because I think the last place you'd want to be crawling around would be a men's toilet in an English pub.

"We're playing with The Libertines in Oxford tonight. They're really cool guys, so I'm looking forward to it. I understand that Radiohead own part of the Zodiac venue were playing at, so I hope some of them come down. We're all totally big fans of them.
I haven't worked out a set list yet. I want to play for a long time, play as many of our songs as we can. Actually, there's another cover version we do that I might throw in, The Verves 'On Your Own'. We've no plans to record that. Like I said, we need all the money we can get. We're still in debt. We get free coke, which is a bonus, but we do need some money. Oh, that's Coca-Cola, just in case you were getting any ideas! Tomorrow we are doing absolutely nothing. No interviews, no recordings, nothing. I'm looking forward to my day off."

"Last night's gig in Oxford was the best of the four we've done on this tour. We were up for it, really geared up. The Libertines were really good in support. I learned one of their songs. While they were playing, I worked out the chords to a song, then got the guys to teach me the words afterwards. I've since forgotten what song it was, what the chords are and how the lyrics go."
leave it to the libs to dish the better goss.
Unrelated, but I've always wondered what happened to that Verve cover. I would have liked to hear it.
