Lord knows apparently the female drummer has left after being given a good slapping by dealers over the bands huge drug bill.

Anyone hrd any of their stuff yet?  Just herd that one single that made the top 10, sounded just like standard Libertines guff.

I saw them in Frome a few months back. He was sober as a judge as his mum was there and he wanted to put on a good show for her (or something like that).

I thought they were a good little band, but then again, i never saw The Libertines live.  Watched John the Libertines bassist band Yeti in Bristol at the Louisiana the other night, and they too were an enjoyable little band.

The reasons I like Pete Doherty

1-He makes good pop music
2-He takes shit loads of drugs
3-He shags supermodels

What do you want from your Rock stars these days ?

Libertines are class
Razorlight are overated
Franz Ferdinand are the most overated band going (apart from Keane!)
The Zutons rule!
I could go on for ever.

Pete Doherty is a legend.
After being in crappy desk jobs doing customer services, being shouted at 5 days a week and having such a mundane existence since the age of 16, a life of hard drugs, brawling and a string of girls that idolise you sounds pretty good to me!

Post by: melksham_exile on Thursday, February 24, 2005, 14:52:17
And just a question Rich, what music do you listen to that isn't commercial then?

Gangta rap I'm guessing

Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, February 24, 2005, 15:04:22
Agreed that Razorlight are over-rated as are FF. Don't like the Zutons or the Libertines either (just preference in music that's all).

But is anybody bored with this Pete Doherty shite in the media all of the time? I'm as bored with it as Posh & Becks really!


Title: you couldn't script it...
Post by: janaage on Thursday, February 24, 2005, 15:06:52
Rich is gonna hate me then, I like The Libertines, Foos, Feeder, You too, Mando Diao (little known swedish band), Del Amitri, Travis, I love it all dudes.  I even like A-ha back in the day.

Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, February 24, 2005, 15:10:15
I think Pete Doherty is a fantastic lyricist/poet, but this bollocks in the paper just pisses me off. I think that's why people start to resent the music.


Title: you couldn't script it...
Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, February 24, 2005, 15:32:26
One slight problem there Yeovil, Pete Doherty doesn't write good music. It's all shite.

Nice one on Kate Moss, though...


Title: you couldn't script it...
Post by: McLovin on Thursday, February 24, 2005, 17:05:43
A bit harsh there, i think he is a talented poet and lyricist.


Title: you couldn't script it...
Post by: yeo on Thursday, February 24, 2005, 18:01:25
All this poet talk is a bit wanky as well.


Title: you couldn't script it...
Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, February 24, 2005, 19:27:21
but that's his roots Yeovil, he did start by writing poetry

Post by: Dazzza on Thursday, February 24, 2005, 20:06:59
Not that I'd go far out of my way but I'd go and see both the Libertines and the blank faced squib play live as that's where a lot of people claim they are at their best.

Downloaded the Libertines album and it's pretty average stuff really.  Couple of decent tracks but nothing exceptional, herd a lot worse but herd an awful lot btter.

I think the whole lyrics thinks is a bit much chaps.  it's certainly better than a Mallet number but again nothing exceptional.

Can't say really blank face himself is a much of a decent rock and roll man either.  I have met a few smack heads who are much more entertaining and have in all likelihood probably shafted Moss up the starfish as well.

All down to taste at the end of the day.  :arrow:
