Mediocre at best, and massively massively overrated. (The Libertines will always be better)

tom_e · 18 Jan 2006 at 21:23

Well done.

I don't find myself particularly jealous that you've had a hug from a filthy skaghead.

i hate it how everyone has this picture of the man he actually looks really healthy although admitidally he has a drug problem but doesnt stop him making good music

Gilly · 18 Jan 2006 at 21:34

u serious he can play the guitar well (maybe not best in world but is still good) and lyrically there is no one better at writing songs

Mr_L · 18 Jan 2006 at 21:52

Don't be silly, Libertines were terribly dull and uninspiring, and Babyshambles are no better. There are many better songwriters out there, you've got an enlightening time ahead of you if his are the best you've heard.

Anyone who has ever held a pen or pencil. I could write better songs with my ass. It'd sound better with a mic too.

You asked for our opinions and you are getting them people dont have to defend what they say you just have to accept that other peoples views are different

Quite a good poet I hear but the Libertines are not so good, and Shambles are worse imho (My favourite druken song atm is Don't Look Back Into The Sun). A friend saw them cover the Sexpistols and he said they were quite good live. As to Mr Doherty's drugs problems, I know someone who knows him and its blown massively, massively out of proportion (despite him still being a dirty scrote). For example:

Mr.D was coming down some steps and they were icy and he slipped, not baked or anything just icy steps, the papparazzi caught this and next morning in all the women's magazines and tabloits were screaming "SCAGHEAD CRACK ORGY PEDOPHILE GAYFACE BIRDFLU WMD DOHERTY AT IT AGAIN!!!!1111

Ahahah. Is there some subtle humour i've missed? Pete Doherty the great lyricist? :confused:

Sic · 19 Jan 2006 at 00:50

ahahahaha lol at this thread...Pete Doherty isnt a songwriter.

Maynard James Keenan is a songwriter...Pete "what a great example i set" Doherty is an ass, and i hope he gets gonorrhoea and burns in hell. tbh
