Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted January 28, 2010 He's FAR fom being talentless. NME (even though it IS wank) put the Libertines Up The Bracket, Babyshambles Down In Albion & Shotters Nation all in the top 50 albums of the decade, the Libs being in th etop three. Every music magazine always has UTB in the top 3/5/10 top albums of the Noughties. And in fact his solo album is actually probably a lot better thgan Shambles stuff. He also is regarded by his peers as a great songwriter. ANd he was also selected at a very young age to represent the Uk in potery competitions. AND, he's not really a dick. I've met him many times, he's actually a pretty funny bloke, a bit addled, and a bit sporodic, but he's not rude, or arrogant like thos einsufferable Gallaghers. Drug addiction, drug dealing, car theft, driving under the influence, taking heroin INTO COURT WITH HIM.....no, he's not a dick at all. So what did he make? A bong?

jumpinjackflash22 0 Posted January 29, 2010 Oh come on. Everyone seems to worship Keith Richards, he's had far more drugs. There are a whole list of talented musicians who have been on drugs and been in trouble with the law. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 29, 2010 Oh come on.Everyone seems to worship Keith Richards, he's had far more drugs. There are a whole list of talented musicians who have been on drugs and been in trouble with the law. But that's the thing. There always seems something rather contrived about Doherty. All this 'english' songwriting malarky for a start. He's the sort that can convince a lot of people that he's the real thing but he's only in it for himself. All this windswept dionysian nonsense is just to get into girls pants. Or to get drugs. Or to get lenient sentences. Plus his dad was a nob in the Army so strings have so obviously been pulled. He's a blackguard. Plain and simple. So he won poetry competitions. I once got an A- for a history project, doesn't make me A J P Taylor now does it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madcow 6 Posted January 31, 2010 One of today's rags has a list of Mr Doherty's various court appearences since 2003, which total 45. If we were in America, under the three strike rule, would he currently be serving 15 life sentences? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted December 2, 2010 Can't say he's written any great songs in the last few years. That might explain his diversion into his own jewellery range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted December 3, 2010 Top form at the moment...The Sun today reporting our Pete gave significant offence whilst on trial for possession of drugs yesterday. The case arises from investigations after the death of a female documentary film maker/mate of Pete's etc. But Pete and his mates used mobile phones to take pictures of themselves in the dock...greatly offending the relatives of the deceased.
