Yeah, they played a great set that night. I was kind of stuck on one of the higher balconys so the sound wasn't too great up there.

Excellent band, shame they split up.

i know, i am just so glad i saw them before they did

huh? i dont have any problems with you and probably never will...

then why say that?

The sad part about Pete Doherty was that in the Libertines days he was a bright articulate very witty person. Then due to a weak management, they were allowed to run riot, class a's got involved and the rest is history. Having seen him at the last two years NME awards he will be another statistic at some time in the future. There is even a sweepstake running in the music industry as to whether Babyshambles make it to the end of the year. What doesnt help with Babyshambles is that one of his management team is also his dealer.

I like both the Libertines albums and the Babyshambles one alot. And I have to say that ol' Doherty does the whole urban-squalor thing VERY well. If he dies as a result, that just means he was maybe doing it a bit better than he needed to.

It's like those guys who work all week in the city, then on a friday night they go home, stick on some Tom Waits and then go out curb crawling.

So many brilliant lifestyles to choose from.

My eyes! My eyes! dr#s, you've broken my heart.

As a musician, Pete Doherty is pretty irrelevant to me, thought I can kinda see why he has the following he does. As a "personality" (ugh), he seems to have fallen in love with that side of his life, and also seems to be emulating the lifestyle of Messrs Vicious and Thunders - not necessarily an entirely good thing.

Neither fish nor flesh. I like a couple of his songs and The Libertines live were fun, even if they sucked big time. Pete Doherty has a book of his poetry out: The world is coming to an end.

Don't know much about him, but he sounded quite sympathetic on Jonathan Ross the other night. He was sky high as usual. It's a shame really.

He did six months(?) in Pentonville in 2004/2005 or something like that... for robbing Carl Barat's flat, I think. I remember because he played this little impromptu "freedom gig" the night he got out at some bar.

And he's done a little bit of time for drugs. Fat lot of good it's done him.

Doherty was a nightmare last year after headbutting Johnny Borrell, threats against Carl Barat, numerous appearances for drugs and theft, promises to attend rehab (which he did sporadically), mandatory drug testing as a condition of his bail (which he failed spectacularly). The only thing that kept him out of jail was the highly paid counsel he had representing him and guarantees by the record company of his attendance at rehab and financial sureties. Any other person would have been jailed 5 times over. The whole fiasco was an offence against natural justice

.........or alternatively against music in general, since all that has little to do with it.

The astonishing thing to me is that I've never deliberately avoided his music, but have never heard a single thing he's done.

Could sound like Steps for all I know.

So what I'm trying to say is: no comment here.

oxygen thief.

ha ha ha ha ha

Is it this guy? Wasn't he dating that skinny chick, who got caught doing coke on a cam?

Is that addressed to Pookie? You should have more respect for your elders if it is.
