Serge on becoming Kasabian's frontman! | The Chris Moyles Show | Radio X 

Serge is the second best frontman Kasabian has ever had, and that's all he ever will be.

Kasabian have the name but they haven’t got Tom’s voice!!! Not the same and never will be!!!

Sorry, but Kasabian without Tom is like ordering an Irish coffee without the Whiskey.

Serge was amazing, Kasabian were the perfect build up to what turned out to be the best gig I've ever attended. The hype around knebworth during Fire while Liam flew overhead in a helicopter was something I'll always remember

Lovely man. Stepped up when it was needed most. Endless respect for keeping an elite band going. Serge, you're the man 🚀🧪

I watched a recent video that explained Tom’s situation and Serge and the band were freezing Tom out before the incident over lockdown. Serge is a total Judas and the band are flat without Tom.

Backstabber.

I’ve heard of kasabian before but never knew anything about them. I went to knebworth on Saturday and these guys absolutely smashed it. Especially Serge, I was shocked when I found out that he wasn’t the bands original lead singer.

Decent tribute act these lads 👍🏻

Tom is definitely needed back. Serge is talented, but Tom has a better vocal range.

that was best gig ever

I saw Kasabian at Neighbourhood. Serge was brillant! Tom was mega but Serge is doing such a good job!

I like Serge and love Kasabian but hope they bring Tom back one day

He was so so good, love him

Have a feeling he always angled for this now Tom is coming out speaking more and more recently.Truth always shines better than the bull£hit.

Seen them recently Sergio is badass

I like Tom Meighan's voices. Its never the same without tom.

Got to bring Tom back

top man but tom is the front man just not the same

2:22 That was me, I'm 27 I've never gone out of my way to listen to Kasabian, I knew most of their big songs and they've always been in the ether. Saw them supporting Liam and have walked away a big fan, was shocked when my friend told me after he wasn't the front man before this show. Crazy

I had never heard anything of or seen Kasabian until Knebworth, I was shocked that he wasn’t the front man from the start

Serge has done a good job but please please please, its time to bring Tom back

Never was into Kasabian, just a randomly listen to them. But for some reason I always feel that Serge is a mastermind behind Kasabian since the beginning.

They are over for me.

It’s a big divide the new Kasabian era with Serge fronting. I would love to see Tom play with them again when the time is right if it is to happen but I think Serge is doing a great job. It’s not the same no but it feels fresh in a way.

Serge is a top Guy👍💯💯

I thought they were finished, but Serge does a great job. Off to see them in October in Manchester

So pleased to see this band still going ❤

Tom...Tom...Tom!!!! love you Serge....but Tom...Tom...Tom!!!

Serge finally got what he wanted. He was trying to push Tom out of the band way before the court case. After Tom pleaded guilty to assault, Serge had the perfect opportunity to fire him. Not a single one of his bandmates reached out to help him, and were happy to let the media tear a mentally ill man apart. The only person who stood by Tom during his mental breakdown and rehabilitation was his girlfriend Vikki (now his wife). Vikki never wanted to press charges, the police did. She also wanted to defend him in court because he was in desperate need of medical help, and she was denied. There's always more to a story than a trashy tabloid headline. Don't believe everything you read.

Tom was great but Serge always had a front man presence too good luck to them all. All talented 😎 serge always looks cool

You don’t throw your best mates under the bus.End of.Everyone has personal issues,everyone has done things they aren’t proud of,things they would rather forget.Liam has fathered illegitimate kids,had affairs,advocated drugs..where is Kasabians morals with that? Plus the footage of Liam grabbing his fiancé round the neck.That didn’t look too good. On a positive spin..Tom went on to marry his girlfriend & is cracking on with his solo career and good luck to him ✌🏾

I sas there on the second night a couple of places from the from of the stage with my 11 year old son and the place was mental.....I was absolutely banana's the atmosphere......it wasn't really anything to do with him as a front man...it was just the road were passed and full of energy.....the noise all night from the speakers was really loud and bassy so as soon as they played their guitars the crowd went nuts

Followed Kasabian for years from London to Eden Project and love em but miss Tom. Sorry

what a gig the best ever i had the best time of my life

I think he’s done a good job of stepping up, fair play Sergio

Got my tickets for London in October buzzing

Got tickets for Liam at Hampden so will be rocking up to see Serge and the boys, loved Kasabian don't no if it will feel the same without Tom, all bands break up split or fracture so guess it happens and loving Tom's solo stuff as well

So down to earth, top bloke!

Loved Tom but having just been to see Kasabian with Serge as front man, live at Hampden supporting Liam. I gotta say Serge is my new fave front man of any band. He was fucking outstanding! Abso rocked the fuck out the place and the energy he put in was incredible. Before the gig i was apprehensive about how this would work (hadnt seen Serge as the front man) but i was blown away by Serge's performance.

they are finished tbh , no Tom no party

Top guy, hasn't got the voice to front a band like Kasabian though let's be honest

Serge was always envious of Tom's spot. His vocal range is higher and can't hit Tom's presence on stage. KASABIAN ditched their front man when he was having a mental breakdown and for that they'll never have respect.

What happened to Tom????

I could never take this band seriously. Now, I definitely can't!

No Tom,No Kasabian.. Serge drop your ego..

Serge is now the front man of one of the biggest bands in the world with absolutely no front man experience. IMO it’s too much, too soon. Tom was natural AF

Saw Kasabian at Isle of Wright festival last year, they was incredible even without Tom, been a fan since the first album so was really happy 😁🙌

The guy Chris is talking about around 2:40 is me. That was my introduction to Kasabian and now I'm a proper fan. And then when I was researching them, I am still astounded that Sergio wasn't the front man because when I've gone back and watched Tom performing live, I prefer Serge. So I'm confused how the had the better singer for nearly 20 years and didn't use him.

Father serge

No Tom no Party simple Tom was the essence of that band

Just watched Kasabian at the radio x presents gig and serg was fucking amazing 👏👏👏

All Tom

Imagine Oasis sacked Liam in 1995 because of his behaviour? Ridiculous

I’m sorry I’ve seen kasabian many times & it’s just not as good without Tom. Different voice & a better one. Without Tom it just lacks something. I’ve recently heard toms new tunes like would you mind, movin on & icarus & imo they are better than Kasabian’s new stuff so far.

Saw him at truck. Absolutely phenomenal.

Yea, nah, picking your moral outrage to suit your desires, who needs enemies with friends like that, Kasabian finished for me when tom left, good luck to them though

Love Serge 🔥😎

This is wrong on so many levels. Why the hell was their previous frontman fired for something which is nobody's business? Secondly, at least get a vocalist who can actually hold the mic properly. Any pro will tell you that you DO NOT hold the mic by its head.

Kasabian were a lot better with Tom

Bought an LG Bucket Hat just before Kasabians set and lost it in the pit for Fire about 45 mins later

Sadly it doesn’t really matter who writes the songs and who plays the instruments, the lead singer will always be the focal point and define a band. Kasabian just don’t seem like kasabian snymore.

They should never have sacked Tom. You don’t do it. Serge is a serious Judas.

Bit low to keep using the bands name, why not go solo or start something new.

Serge has wanted to be the frontman of Kasaiian for years. If Noel Gallagher had sacked Liam but continued with Oasis, it would have been a very different band, and not as good. Thats exactly what this new Kasabian is. Sorry, but its very rare that great frontmen can be replaced. I know of only two examples, AC/DC and Van Halen. Serge Pizzorno aint Brian Johnson or Sammy Hagar!!!! 😂😂😂

I saw them before Liam Gallagher. Serge prancing around like he's a rapper half the set. It was a shadow of the band I used to watch! The ego of this guy.. and to cast Tom aside over something nothing to do with the band is ridiculous. Looks to me like serge is a conniving weasel of a man.

These guys dropped their mate because of a woke mob .. Very sad, not really rock and roll... Won't watch them now ..

Sad they binned Tom. He made a mistake. Serge and him used to be best friends. Shame cos their crap without him.

Tom better singer its not kasabian

Serge is the Jerry Cantrell of Kasabian, now that pesky lead singer is out of the way he can be front and centre(!)

Serg is a shithouse.he shouldn’t have turned his back on his best mate just so he could be the front man.his friend needed his support

Classic woke up Keith Richards then turned Mick Jagger

Serge is more of a front man than Tom ever was. Nothing against Tom but it always felt to me he was trying to hard. . Seen 6 times. Enjoyed just as much a man down.

Serge could have his own band ..but still calling it Kasabian isn’t right ..that ship sailed ..it’s not Kasabian without Tom

Come on people, hit the like button!. Seriously YNWA

Load of tosh now

Kasabian should have ended their legacy when Tom left. It's just sad seeing them as they are now. Using the Kasabian name when the band is anything but that.

Funny that Kasabian without Tom is the same as Oasis without Liam You might write the songs Serge (or Noel), you may play the songs... but you aren't the aura of the band

He's not even 20% the frontman that Tom is.

It’s what he has wanted for last few albums before what happened with tom. Tried turned them into the beastie boys

Clown.

No Tom no kasabian

This dude always wanted that front man job any how..that was always obvious to me...unfortunately he just don't have the voice to pull it off ...it is what it is

Never liked kasabian but since serge took lead much better more energy

Serge is a sausage

Never a fan of Kasabian - But let's face it .. they kicked out Tom very quickly. More readies for Serge. Sorry don't mean to be to cynical here. Who thinks it was a little quick? Obviously Tom was out of order for what he did.

Just stop bouncing around

Your not Tom and never will be. Tom made Kasabian. Tom is Kasabian

Hes a terrible singer

You ain't a front man Serge. Patch it up. People make mistakes.

Not as good as Tom 💩
