    He's a class A waster. I had a bit of a soft spot for the Libertines, but his new band Babyshambles are just that - a shambles, while Carl Barrat's new band Dirty Pretty Things, proves that he was the tallented one.

    yeah, it would also be cool to come onto boards and not see any posts about him by people who by one way or another, do care, hint hint :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    Exactly. I don't read the papers or watch sky news, itv etc so I was on quite a nice little run there of not hearing about PeteDoherty ..... but you had to go spoil it Mexicola!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,856 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Yeah, f*cking d*ckhead. Chuck him in jail and let him deal with that, the c*nt....

    I would feel sorry for him, if he wasn't so brazen about being a knob, I mean there are plenty of my "heros" who were big junkie heads, but thats not how they made their name (ie. Lennon) but this moron is famous for being a junkie nothing more, he and his band would have faded into obscurity had it not have been for his moronaic antics, I suppose you have to (in a way) admire how he's manage to make a very average band sell so many records (through drugs/fights/court case etc.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,891 ✭✭✭Kersh


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,953 ✭✭✭blu_sonic


    thing is its a poor reflection on us the public when we make junkies famous, me included I've 2 of his albums.

    (rather him than the plastic pop idol crap though)

    That's the worst thing that could happen. He'd be eulogised over as some kind of tortured genius, and people would ingnore the fact that his music is ****e, becaue he died young. You'd never hear the end of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,891 ✭✭✭Kersh


    Hmmm, you have a point there. what to do , what to do.... ;)

    Many critics rate the libertines very highly. I think he would sell far more records if he wasnt in the press. People view him as a tosser and don't want to buy the albums or admit liking him because of this, exactly the same as oasis.

    B0llox to that...this celebrity worship/fascination has gone far enough we should round them all up with a simpsons style mob , Paris Hilton, Robbie Williams, David Beckham, any one of reality TV, FCUKING LOUIS WALSH, simon cowell, any other media whores we can find and slaughter them like pigs and bathe in their blood and then declare it a world wide festival so future generations know not to make the same mistake again......its time we held important people up as icons for future generations...doctors, scientists, aid works, peace keepers ordinary people who achieve things that matter..............up the revolution!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,953 ✭✭✭blu_sonic


    TBH I'm a big music fan, Morrissey is a personal hero, he made me a better person, TBH "doctors, scientists, aid works, peace keepers ordinary people who achieve things that matter" mean nothing in that sence to me, I admire their work etc, but they are terrible musicians ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,196 ✭✭✭pyramuid man


    I know he is a waster and does not deserve the paper his name is written on.
    I read an article in the paper the other day and it was quite sad to see how much he did heroin.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 449 ✭✭tallaghtdave


    for example lennon did drugs went off the rails a bit and i still look up to him.
    these geezers today are what me dad calls 20min heros thats all they will be remembered for in the future.
    its all too comercial
    i wouldnt be surprised if most of it were staged


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,953 ✭✭✭blu_sonic


    the KLF theory?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 165 ✭✭kkposse


    i must admit i didn't like the babyshambles album when i first got it but after a few listens it slowly grew on me , its a bit of a grower like some of the best records are, i still love the libertines albums but babyshambles is just as good if not better!!:)

    if he made good records then fair enough but most of his tunes are bollix


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    He's a publicity-seeking knobhead.As somebody pointed out if he was found dead he'd be treated like some sort of hero like that whining wankshaft curt cobain.No,far better if he goes to prison and is made the bent-over buttf*ck for a whole wing of yardies and THAT is in the paper!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,287 ✭✭✭joe_chicken


    O how I wished that KLF rumour was true.

    The Libertines suck balls.

    Pete Doherty is an idiot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 495 ✭✭Sajan


    Its amazing how people follow him around quoting his "poetry" and thinking his the saviour of music. These are the same people who would walk by a drug user on the Ha'penny bridge and give out stink about them or spit at them or whatever.. Just because he made a few crappy tunes and knobbed the groupie Kate Moss he's a hero. I'm sick of it.. NEXT.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 276 ✭✭Mexicola


    I hope to f*ck he doesnt show up on next year's 'Celebrity' Big Brother....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,478 ✭✭✭padi89


    He is an absolute cock we all know this! Personally i think the bigger cocks are the people that buy tickets to go see the Fvcker!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,915 ✭✭✭Siogfinsceal


    For years singers have been taking drugs in fact the most talented song writers / artists a lot of them seem to have taken drugs (ray charles for example, jimi hendrix etc etc) so whats the big deal about Doherty doing it? The irony is when its a regular guy doing heroin we are supposed to feel sorry for them for their drug dependency yet when its a celeb its different
    before jumping on the band wagon I got the album and had a listen its fantastic i think the mans a genius. Id much rather go to a concert with someone like that playing its proper rock and roll to go a bit off the charts

    the guys in a good band and is dating Kate Moss hes not doing too bad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 844 ✭✭✭casanova_kid


    Pete Doherty is a hero, living the rock and roll life that all you boring people wanmt to live. It's written in the rock and roll scriptures that Pete Doherty will die to save music. LEGEND.

    The big deal is that rtaking drugs does not a talented musician make.He's NOT Jimi Hendrix or Ray Charles,he's a talentless,attention seeking little dickhead.He's not in a good band,its not proper rock n roll and he's not dating Kate Moss.

    Plus, the libertines two albums are class and there's a couple of good
    babyshambles songs, listen to **** Forever or The Man Who Came To Stay or Kilmanjaro and you'll be converted.
