Music4life

Most people I know hate this guy.I really don't know why they do.I listen too everything really metal being my Favorite Genre.I got into Libertines & Babyshambles recently.It did take awhile for them too grow on me.Most people just think he's a stupid Junkie.I think he's an unreal lyricist.I suppose there not big over here its more in the U.k.

Personally I think the music is rubbish, and simply I dont care what he does outside of that. He plays the same, jangly 70's inspired rubbish that other pop (not rock) bands are doing at the moment. Makes me yawn a good bit.

...sorry!

Dave H

I'd have to say nay. The music is less than epic but regardless of whether or not it's any good, he has gotten himself in the public eye by glorifying drug use. Now I'd never begrudge anybody their *ahem* kicks, but if you're in a position where people look up to you, and let's face it, kids do look up to their idols and will do what they do because they think it's cool, then you should'nt condone something that's a)illegal and b)something that could kill them.But he gets away with it so it only leads us to believe that the law is only in place to keep the everyday scobes like us in line, but turns a blind eye to the celebrity heroes that grace the cover of every poxy magazine and tabloid.
He's a little scumbag knacker,musical talent or not.

MUCK! Im not a big fan of his music.

nij

Who is he? Oh that horrible idiot I always see going in and out of court on Sky News? Yuck.

gizmo

Yea, and check this out...

While I've always tried to concentrate on music and ignore any bull**** surrounding the artist, this is one guy I truely despise as a complete and utter scumbag. Not liking his music at all helps too though.

Dragan

He's a total cock in need of an ass beating who writes **** songs.

GhostInTheRuins

Nay.

johnnyrotten

Nay

Ruu_Old

Nay, not as much talent as the media make him out to have (not even close!)

humanji

Man is he popular

peter1892

Who?

Degsy

He wants hus cnunt kicking in for him!

starn

I say Yah. With the exception of Alibon and Fcuk Foreever all the Babyshambles stuff is sh1te. But I do love the Libertines. Saw him this time last year in Carlow. Great preformance great showman. Aparently the new Album out Oct 1st is supposed to be a blinder. Supposedly. At least he's not the Red Hot Knob Heads sning more banal songs bout how great California is.

buck65

just counting the votes now.........it's a .....nay....just

nij

Oh yeah, NAY from me too.

As with most 'artists' of today, he's someone I've only heard about for all the trouble he's in. He seems like a complete moron to be honest. Jumping over walls kicking reporters and cameramen..? Ugh... He should start acting like a human being. What an escaped abortion...

What i cant understand is why somebody doesnt kick the shiite out of him,i dont just mean a photographer or somebody he's spat at,i mean in general,he obviously has it coming to him!

nij

Haha yeah. There are definitely some twats in need of that!

Angus MacGyver

yay.

Ive never listened to his music and doubt i ever will but his antics are amusing. Im sure people thought Sid Barret, The Stones and Zeppelin were all assholes when they were at there destrutive peak. (dont think for a second im comparing him to them musically)

Doherty is gonna kick the bucket soon and thousands of kids will be wearing t-shirts with some idiot lyrics or suicide note printed on the back.

Don't hold back, tell me what you really feel

So who is buying his stuff/ going to his gigs and making him a household name then?

Hahaha well mostly nay.I never knew they played in Carlow who knows they might play in Kerry next:D .Ya there new Album is very good I must say.:) You can check it out at www.mtv.co.uk/babyshambles if your interested:)

klaus flouride

He can be funny and amusing but lets be clear about this, his talent is non-existent. His singing voice is really inexpressive, its very flat and sounds like a kid singing. I'll say this much about the whole drug thing - at least he's honest about it unlike other crap bands such as snow patrol. But the bottom line is he's a terrible musician, and just like the white stripes, he has been making the same music (same sound same style) for the past number of years.

Dunno if anybody is going to his gigs..i've never met anybody who has.And its teh media who's making him a household name by publicising his non-music related puerile antics.Pathetic really.

MoominPapa

I've only heard his first album and that was a sorry mess, maybe two decent tunes, an awful cod reggae number in the middle that was enough to have him in the stocks and the only personality on the album was Mick Jones who produced it and made it like a clash album without Joe Strummer and what would the point of that be?
Inconsistency is a crime in songwriting and fans usually talk with their feet, for some reason this guy gets away with it and seems to turn it into a virtue.
The best thing that could possible happen is he goes on a bender, gets behind the wheel and crashes head on into another car driven by that other troubled young star de jour Amy Winehouse and they both die

kev_s88

as the libertine's song goes, "what a waster, what a f**kin waster"

the man is a total tool.im thinking that maybe if he could get himself clean he might actually be half decent.

but we all know thats never gonna happen so i think i can safely say its a "NAY" for Pete Doherty

Sephiroth_dude

hes a ****ing gimp.nuff said

klaus flouride

This relates to the pete doherty thread that sum1 put up - If he's crap, and most people seem to agree that he is - how is he so popular? Kurt Cobain wasn't that great (although he was better than pete doh.) but he ended up being extremely popular, is it a similar phenomenon?

marknigma

Why are we discussing Pete Doherty in the Rock and Metal Forum surely there is a Talentless Hack Who is a Complete Wanker and people like Him cos He is a Wanker Fourm I propose this be moved to somewhere more suitable like Waste Management

Kurt Cobain is recognised by an awful lot of people as an excellent songwriter.

Although not my taste, I could probably think of 10 Nirvana songs which stick out in my head and I could happily listen to.

Couldn't say the same for doherty.

As someone replied to me earlier, it seems hes a good car crash for the media. they are his life support.

Music4life

I suppose you Either love him or hate him.Mostly hate him here:(.With Kate Moss leaving him I'd say the media wont be following him around as much:) .I think he's popular because people actually like his music you might find that hard too believe.Regarding the white stripes "Terrible Musician" I think 7 nation army's riff is the catchiest riff since smells like teen spirit.Ha ha I never knew about Snow patrols drug problem.:D

entropi

Not a poster to this forum but i just HAD to add my 2c on this one... i say nay a million times over. Personally i think he's an overhyped muppet with really bad songs. I sort of pity the band having to be around him playing, as they could do alot better.

Not that their music would be to my taste, but i'm sure there are some fans out there who would like to see a proper lead singer who can inspire instead of tarnish the band's name.

FunkZ

Most of their music is fairly **** but it's good reading about him in The Sun when you're taking a nice ****.

Nay with a capital Ngodieyouwanker

Jack Vegas

Amazing lyricist and songwriter, couldn't give a toss about whatever is in the tabloids about him.

--Kaiser--

Nay.
Talentless waste of space.

****ing junkie. Let him OD.
