Baby Shambles

So what did you think of last nights gig?

I thought it was excellent, better then i imagined!!!
And why did Pete storm off? Was it cos of the security? Or did some one in the crowd do something? (Pete tired to jump into the crowd but the boucners and security pulled him out. Pete then trashed his mic and stormed off)

i was very close to tha supposed action towards the end and basically what happened was that people were trying to get on stage and one of the boucners lost it and started clobbering some poor eejit in the audience. pete saw this and clobbered the bouncer with the mic, then threw a huff and stormed off stage. afaik.

Hot Press' Babyshambles correspondent Steve Cummins reports from the Trinity Ball and the Ambassador Theatre

Pete Doherty Watchers had a field day at the weekend with the ever-shambolic Babyshambles singer appearing at the Trinity Ball and Dublin's Ambassador Theatre on consecutive nights.

Although parents of Trinity students had ample cause for concern, it was Doherty's Saturday night headliner at the Ambassador that proved the most hazardous experience, with reports of skirmishes between security personnel and members of the audience.

According to Hot Press' Steve Cummins, a seasoned Doherty Watcher who was in attendance for both Babyshambles appearances, the ruckus erupted during the song 'Wolf Man', when Doherty attempted to bring people onto the stage:

"Pete got very angry when he saw a skirmish down below between security and his fans. He threw his mic down at one of the bouncers and then he jumped down and reportedly started hitting one of the bouncers. His manager and one of the roadies had to pull him back onto the stage," says Cummins.

Earlier in the night there were doubts as to whether the Babyshambles singer would even be joining his band. Cummins recounts:

"Doherty had kept the crowd waiting long enough and the general feeling, about an hour after the support band came off stage, was that he wasn't going to show. When he did the place went mad. The gig itself was amazing, and certainly a vast improvement on the previous night at Trinity."

IMO it was a storming performance by the band but as you say there were alot of d*ckheads at the gig that made it less enjoyable than the Village gig. The moshing during Alan Wass's solo was a f**king joke. The security picked on the people at the very front when it was the group of pissed f**kers at the back who were responsible for that. I have nothing a gainst moshing during a gig but when there are people who only go to the gig to mosh (and there were alot of them there on Saturday) it just makes it sh*t.

I was just infront of those f**kers who were chanting ''Doherty is a w*nker.'' I was about to give sh*t to them but I probably would have got my head kicked in by them.

Was it only me who thought there were an unusual amount of skangers at the gig? I dunno I must have been going crazy.

Personally, I thought the Nathan Barley quotient was far too high.

hell yes. we were fairly close to the whole 'pete-councer bashing' incident and all of a sudden there were like 48372 nafen bahhley types clamouring over me (i'd be fairly small now) to get a look.

Sweetness!

Yeah there was aload of nackers at the gig well from what I saw anyway. I've got nothing against moshing either but the people round me moshing really started to get on my nerves towards the end of the gig.

I thought it was the biggest load of sh*te i've watched in ages. The documentry wasn't about Pete, it was about some fat failed film maker going around trying to be his best mate. Oooooh gawwd Pete does heroin? Shock f**king horror. Such a crap programme. If I was Pete I would have done even worse damage to that c*nt Max Carlish. I hope that twat is enjoying his 15 minutes of fame. The programme did Pete more good than bad.
