Babyshambles - Complete Hoax

xzanti

Just heard on the wireless this morning... Its been revealed (from the horses mouth apparently) The whole Pete Doherty, Babyshambes, Drug Abuse, Armed Robbery etc was "The Biggest Hoax in British History" concocted by the KLF who "plucked" Pete Doherty from obscurity and made him into a Chantell style figure to highlight the fickleness of celebrity... His name isnt even Pete Doherty its Trevor McDermot... He was a Buddy Holly Impersonator and he decided to part ways with the KLF hense the hoax coming to light... Im glad I wasn't a fan... That said I can't understand why anyone would be.. He played a good smack head I'll give him that.. Suppose it all makes sense really.. Showing his "heroin scars" to a news camera????? Hello... There was a lot of holes in the whole thing.. He couldnt even sing FFS.. Anyone who saw him sing Children of The Revolution at the V Festival would know that... Apparently The Samaritans have recruited a sh*t load of extra staff to deal with the volume of calls from distraught teenagers who have just found out that he's not actually a smack head... The mind boggles...

Google *Pete Doherty Hoax" for the full story..

Crazy sh*t :eek:

They also said that Kate Moss was not part of the hoax and her bahaviour was her own responsibilty...

Oh Kate you poor eejit

That can't be real?

Agreed.

Its not true, just a wind up. It was on a blog somewhere and people started emailing it around, but there's no source

Cormic

It's untrue but it gave me a laugh.

How would they have "plucked him from obscurity" to front Babyshambles when he was in the Libertines first?

absolute rubbish, Pete Doherty is a hero of a generation. A giant among men who can retain his genius while enjoying the pleausure of women and hard drugs. Long live the king.

Jonny Arson

Anyone who remotely believes that crap deserves a fucking slapping.

Giblet

Anyone who cares deserves a slapping.

That story is bollocks. The actual hoax is that a lot of people have been led to believe that Doherty is actually a frontman for a band, and not a shabolic talentless drug addled prat.

No, the real hoax is that you read the tabloids too much and buy into the whole anti-Pete hysteria bullsh!t.

Would you say the same thing about Hendrix, Cobain and Morrisson's drug usage? No, so zip it.

Giblet

They had talent though

Wertz

Since when do you need talent to be in a band nowadays?

True :D:D

I wouldn't really care about it him, he's the kind of celeb that play up his rogueish phony "**** you too" act in front of the tabloids to create some kind of diehard cult following, thus earning him some extra ££££££'s. He's a bit of a pratt, tbh.

No. All of the above were talented, created great music, could perform live in front of an audience, and could string a sentance together without falling over. None of which have been achieved by Doherty.

Terry

is he 27 yet?
it's time for him to die.

RoundyMooney

Doherty is a moonfaced twat with no discernable talent for walking and breathing simultaneously, not to mind musicianship, be it in the Libertines or Babyshambles...

The KLF are legends of the music industry (and mine):

"More than any pop band in history, the KLF ripped off the music industry for a bucketful of loot and got away with it -- as illustrated in their own guidebook to creating number one singles, The Manual. Bill Drummond and Jimi Cauty applied the tactics of punk shock-terrorism to late-'80s acid house and became one of Britain's best-selling artists (recording also as the JAMS and the Timelords) just before their retirement in 1992. The duo then deleted their entire back catalog -- a potential loss in the millions of pounds -- and declared they wouldn't release another record until peace was declared throughout the world."

Talk about keeping it real.........


Who ever read the hoax thing and belived it is insane.

They also as statement art filmed themelseves burninga 1 million sterling pounds and the would show the footage and tape the reacions of the audience and the disscussion that followed.
This 'act' traveled arround the world and the Late Late Show and Gaybo took part in it.

That's the most retarded post I've read in a long time. Congratulations. The guy should be strung up by the balls. People who idolize celebritys purely for their lifestyle need some ****in help.

Wertz

KLF were awesome....surely even if the name doesn't ring a bell, you've heard at least some of their tunes...The White Room is a great album.

Kaiser Chiefs did a cover of "What time is love" on Jo Whiley's show the other morning;

F*cking powerful.

OOhhh, the guy has stuck a mind-numbingly obscene amount of drugs into himself and released some awful music. What a hero! :rolleyes:

There was a time in music when the drugs enhanced the music talent and weren't a replacement for it.

The KLF kicked ass, Mumu's and all

You'll definitely recognise a hanful of their tunes.

Or remember when they burnt a million pounds in cash.

Or their ridiculous performance at the Brit awards where they were in wheelchairs with pointy hats.

no. i don't think any sane person is jealous of pete doherty.

Yeah I agree, the way he's going right now it's not looking to bright is it? Fecking sad. That's the best word to describe him and the whole scene; sad. To see someone with so much talent go out and fecking waste himself aaaargh. The Libertines and Babyshambles brilliant music, hope he pulls through!

Eh... I think not...

Pet

Casanova kid is just jealous of everyone else, cos he's clearly completely retarded, along with his idol Pete, and anyone stupid enough to listen to the Libertines.

FX Meister

I think you mean differently abled Pet, not disabled.
