Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted June 9, 2004 Another music casualty - just like the Metallica article the exact cause and prognosis seems to elude the reporter - probably a bad hangover for all we know. Anyway, have a read and see what you think. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3792065.stm DWB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted June 9, 2004 Pete Libertine is not a bad call - seems like hes be well off his tits for quite a while now and doing "strange" performances on stage. Heard he was in rehab a few weeks ago but didnt know hed gone to Thailand to "recover" Dont they have some pretty effective "medicine" there called Yaba? That may well help Pete on the road to DeathList stardom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted June 14, 2004 Pete Doherty of Libertines fame is starting to look a bit of a hot prospect. Having been aptly described by our grim leader as "well off his tits for quite a while now", he has now run away from his monastic rehabilitation centre in Thailand and headed for Bangkok - where he will not be able to lay his hands on any drugs what-so-ever, not one ... http://www.nme.com/news/108813.htm Go for it Pete!

Grim Reaper 186 Posted June 14, 2004 Hey this is starting to look very promising (and clearly deserves its own thread now - voila!) The NME tracking of this story is reminiscent of the OJ Simpson White Bronco pursuit - Doherty is heading for doom and the NME is right on his heels The NME's been waiting for a story like this ever since Shaun Ryder failed to deliver Im nearly tempted to buy the NME again - if only it hadnt been pronounced clinically dead several years ago Im voting for a mysterious Doherty disappearance shortly into the mists of Bangkok - Thank God nobody's got him Derby Dead Pool - some chance ha!

Rude Kid 3 Posted June 14, 2004 NMEUpon leaving the Monastery, Pete signed a declaration stating that: "Thamkrabok Monastery have done everything they could to help me, but I am just not strong enough for this treatment." June Brown, the actress who plays Dot Cotton in EastEnders is involved with the charity. She said: "This is a deeply concerning state of affairs. It’s tragic that he has clearly taken the choice to continue using drugs. I am truly concerned for his mother who must be devastated." How random that an elderly Cockney soap actress is a patron of a Thai rehab clinic run by monks. And how ironic that June Brown has been picked in the DDP...

Stayin Alive 26 Posted June 14, 2004 God, that is very weird. This whole thread is proving to be a very interesting read indeed - Ford Bronco's, Dot Cotton, Thamkrabok Monastery, Pete Doherty... I can't wait for the 3-part serialisation on ITV1 with Ross Kemp playing the lead role of Pete. Maybe the will all end up on that island where they filmed The Beach, the one where they all went mad, and killed each other in yaba induced craziness. I've done the right thing and added a personal thread subscription. I can't wait to see if the NME gets its man. Maybe The Divine Comedy will write a song about all this stuff.

Grim Reaper 186 Posted June 18, 2004 NME update... http://www.nme.com/news/108875.htm Pete's arrived back in the UK apparently - NME doesnt say whether he got a plane back or flew home by himself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted June 20, 2004 U BUNCH OF SICK F**KS!!!!!! HOW CAN YOU GET YOUR KICKS FROM PEOPLES DEATH SICK AS f**k!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted June 20, 2004 Thanks for your intelligent comments Guest Just to pick you up on one point we don't directly get kicks out of death - we get kicks out of predicting celebrity deaths over which we have no influence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted June 20, 2004 You all clearly know nothing about Peter Doherty's life, live performances and drug addiction if all you base your(in my opinion sick) comments on NME articles and bollocks like the sun. Ive gone to many a libertines and babyshambles show over the last two years and met the sweet sweet man himself, so I and many others think that you are all f*****g sick for trying to predict someones death, especially the death of someone so lovely and influencial. Seriously you should all think about getting a life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted June 20, 2004 and if you don't know him directly or are a fan of his music stop following his every move(be it through media) it's just f*****g sick and I pity you. Only trying to open your eyes and help bye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted June 20, 2004 So thats a plea to "open our eyes" and at the same time close our eyes and stop following the story. Hmmm Difficult to avoid news of the latest driving/knife incident on his return to the UK though - Pete is clearly a troubled lad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Reaper 186 Posted June 20, 2004 I'll second that Yeti - point well made Bethan. This thread has been a bit of a rant magnet recently and a couple of post deletions have had to take place, so it is refreshing to see something different. Personally, I hope Mr Doherty gets himself sorted out as, after all, hes not actually on this year's list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bethan Posted June 20, 2004 It's being the target for less eloquent ranters due to it being posted on one of the Libertines message forums and because there are so many people that completely idolise him and think that because he's Pete he can do whatever he wants, they seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that the amount of brown he is doing will eventually kill him, therefore leading them to post stupid, irrational, incoherent posts defending their skag-head idol. I apologise for some of the morons but will continue to hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted June 20, 2004 Ahh - now I understand Well, any vistors from the Libertines forum, I guess youre not gonna be that happy with this site but its nothing personal against Pete. Frankly most of whats here is just following the NME coverage, which you may not approve of either. Just a casual observation but the Libs forum does look like a bit of a rant-fest - clearly a better place to rant than here if you need to - or maybe the NME forums but I think they are closed at the moment.

Rude Kid 3 Posted June 20, 2004 the Libs forum does look like a bit of a rant-fest Something of an understatement there, GR. I assume this is the thread in question? Playground insults and glorification of rape would seem to be the order of the day on the Libertines forum then. Suddenly our idle speculation over Mr Doherty's state of mind doesn't look so sick after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted June 20, 2004 Well Rude Kid, I didn't want to overdo the point - that isn't the only thread - there are others in a similar vein I was keen to avoid an "our forum's better than your forum" dispute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted June 30, 2004 LIBERTINES NEWS UPDATE! Even his band think he's a bit of a liability - they've sacked him until he kicks his crack habit - and all the other drugs he may or may not take. http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=3144661 Do you think the disappointment of losing his job will send him over the edge?
