    Yeah, what are they thinking making it illegal to sell or use heroin. Morons.

    You can't put Pete Doherty in the same league musically as hendrix, lennon or morrison. And if you do you're a fool.

    You were quoting a sentence which was not really about music just apparent fame. I have heard people in work saying he is a gobshi-te, who have never even heard of the libertines. They should really be more annoyed at the gobshi-te paper editors who put these stories in that upset them so much, its not newsworthy, I saw a rag the other day talking about some Z-list celebs dog that pisses in her house:rolleyes: . My point is that any famous person no matter how talented/untalented they are would be branded the same way if they were in the papers every second day like he is.

    Also apparently many people do put him in the same league musically as those I mentioned. Thats besides the point, I could have mentioned some drug using muscian that you don't rate highly from the 60's, and made the same point.

    he is more famous for being a junkie his job for the simple reason that his drug of choice happens to be illegal.

    Lets hope we wake up tomorrow and he will be on the front page, with banner headline -
    PETE DOHERTY FOUND DEAD.

    The guy is a class a moron. The thing is, saome people look up to him, and think hes cool.

    Bit harsh, he doesn't deserve to die just for bein an idiot. Been sayin it myself with a long time now about how stupid it is that such a big deal is being made about him, he's a f***in joke! Here's hoping they give him a decent sentence and that he doesn't get away with it just for being a celeb.
    What was with him getting NME's sexiest man aswell??? The state that muppet goes around in, is that sexy??

    You wouldnt bloody mind NME,they're notorious for pushing people who they consider to be hot stuff evn if the record buying public doesnt agree.NME had at least one article about oasis every month for over a decade,long after people stopped giving a crap about oasis they were running "exclusives" and other such bollocks.They had The White Stripes on the cover about a hundred times,then the Strokes,The Vines and Badly Drawn boy for ****'s sake,its a load of rubbish and is responsible for getting useless dickheads like Pete "i havnt got the courtesy to show up at any of my irish gigs" Doherty into the media.

    In days like this when so called musicians like Eminem are going into rehab for something as minor as a sleeping pill addiction, let's syand up and salute Pete Doherty, a real rock n roll hero.

    Doherty is an obnoxious little p***k who seems to believe his own hype and doesn't care about his fans. We should all just ignore the stupid little junkie and hope he fades away. As for Babyshambles, has anybody ever heard such sh1t?

    The way you all talk it's as though he's doing heroin, not because he's a junky, but because he loves the attention it brings...



    Get a bloody life you boring ****s.

    It seems to me that it is the only way he can get publicity these days. After all, he isn't going to garner many column inches based on the musical prowess of Babyshambles.

    you are well informed on the matter anyways.

    In babyshambles terms ive seen him 3 times in dublin. He has also turned up for carlow, cork, derry and belfast, which makes 7 out of 8, but il allow you 7 out of 9 if we count the rescheduled tmbc gig. Backs up your quote well.

    what annoys the **** out of me is why those who dont care even bother paying attention, its not as if it is forced down your throats. I do believe you had to click into this thread for example, and the countless other pete doherty threads in the past.

    Believes his own hype? go listen to Kilamanjiro and the man who came to stay (i mean you probably have already to have forged an opinion) but listen to the lyrics this time. He is anythin but a man who believes his own hype.

    Doesnt care about his fans? Most of his fans are in it for the music, which if he doesnt turn up for his gigs they still have, and a **** load of it was free.

    Good point, I'm no fan, but some Libertines songs are good. Also the words to "What a waster" seem to fly in the face of his lifestyle. But I've seen people I know messed up by drugs, so things change.

    I had a cold/bird flu for three days there, then took one Night and Day tablet last night, and now it's gone. So The Verve's claim that the drugs don't work is a big fat lie.

    So you've seen them three times in Dublin?Thats great..what do you want,a medal?


    As for the second part of your post, i think it could be best described as pure gibberish!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,215 ✭✭✭FX Meister


    I'd offer my condolances, not a medal. But I'm judging them by seeing him play at the last brits awards. He was truly terrible.

    You're ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

    My opinion of him was formed the day I saw him *murder* 'Children of the Revolution' at Live 8. Completely wasted with no respect for the song or the event and a voice so bad Elton John had to sing over him to try unsuccessfully to save the performance...

    Amazed he's managed to stay out of prison til now. It really would be the best thing for him though. A 12 month sentence or so would probably add years to his life.
