the libertines were all about the shambolic, hedonistic facade - hence the name the "libertines". their music was a reflection of their zest for life and excess. they werrent "bad boys", they were young men living life to its shambolic full. its why some people like me love them, and others hate them. it depends what your outlook on music is.

Can`t sing to save his life.
Every Babyshambles track i`ve heard usually gets the same response..... "Hmmm that just sounds like a really bad version of a *insert 90s Britpop band here* song.

It's an old thread, but I just know if I started a new one, then some smart arse twat would have posted a link to this one.
http://www.itv.com/news/entertainment_304397.html He has a face like a smacked arse and I hate him. I despise useless no-marks like this dick, Pete Doherty. It's about time someone put this loser out of his misery. I really hope they throw away the key...but I doubt it.

it pisses me off when people label him as talentless - because that is a load of bullshit. Yes, he's turned into a drugged up mess, i condone the use of drugs and my respect for him has dwindled dramatically because of it - he is a disgrace. yet he is in my opinion one of the best songwriters of the past 6 years. his lyrics-deep, witty and so very true. listen to "tell the king" or "death on the stairs". if he werent a junkie the public would idolise him by now and the libertines would be the biggest band in the country. its tragic because the two albums they released are superb - and the babyshambles album is just the aural equivalent of somebody ruined by drugs. if anyone needed a lesson in why to stay away from drugs then this is it.

I don't think he's talentless, on the contrary and this is why I hate him so much. I'm not a big fan of his, but I do agree he has/had talent. That's the annoying thing about this sorry excuse for a man...wasted talent, an unforgivable crime. |

you have these bands now doing the whole "social observation" thing, who kicked off this craze? yes, the libertines. they are the most important british band of this decade (forget the arctic monkeys)...its just a shame their reputation and image is forever going to be tainted by one tragic man's addictions.
