jayeffscene Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I've never heard this band, but this story came up on my Google Reader under the Guardian UK and I thought it was pretty fucked up. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/aug/20/petedoherty.festivals?gusrc=rss&feed=networkfront Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goraiders Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 that is really fucked up, and I'm pretty sure its the guy from the libertines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah...it's Pete Doherty. He gets publicity by doing stupid shit like this. Wasn't he going out w/ Kate Moss and doing heroin w/ her and shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he going out w/ Kate Moss and doing heroin w/ her and shit? Yeah, he gets most of his fame from a combination of derivative "brit rock" and being a total junky.

cadetapplesauce Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 i've never actually listened to any of his music. is it any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 ^^ No. It's cookie-cutter brit pop rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonix Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 wait wait wait.. hes a musician?! I thought he was a professional junkie.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 He is a junkie full-time...the musician gig is a part-time job...and he doesn't do that very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 did i read that wrong? they cancelled their set because of the way they play? or did he say that he was going to get everybody to fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobe Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 didn't Mick Jones produce a Libertines record? I think I enjoyed that record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyheavylowlow Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 i've never actually listened to any of his music. is it any good? Other than maybe the 5 obvious choices, there is no good English music. All our bands sound exactly the same, and we have a new 'greatest ever' female singer every week that sounds exactly like the last one.

partysmasher Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Cannot stand this guy, his band got big because he was arrested for breaking into and stealing from his bandmate's house so he could afford his heroin, before that no one gave a shit and they were just another also-ran brit rock band. Since then his bands have been fairly successful and his inability to show up to gigs has only worked in their favour, and now i guess he has the money to just do smack all the time and appear in the papers off his face, he's a complete waste of space.

sgoodcore Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Maybe I'm just not hip enough or something, but where the fuck did "gee up" come from? Probably some random british phrase you're not hipster enough to be into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
