Babyshambles (Will they be ****ing forever?)
 

Killimanjiro= Fantastic F*** Forever= Flantastic (btw MTV2 play the uncensored version BEFORE watershed which is quite amusing when you have kids around asking what the naughty boy on the British donkey is saying) Live= OH MY GOD COULD THEY BE ANY CRAPPER???.

So now Petes off the smack, has he lost whatever made him such an onstage icon? The band honsetly were quite pathetic at their festival appearences so far, my band (who have been together 3 days and boast three spoon players and a pigeon as a singer) couldve done better.

Are Babyshambles going to disappear into history as that funny side project Pete Moss (I sooo hope he takes her name) had, or will they be Libertines beaters? Or where The Libs equally as terrible all along? You tell ME, wise guy/gal/pigeon singer.

The libertines, to me, where never as phenominal as anyone made them out to be. They were decent, but theres something to be said for some form of fluid directness. They seemed to be too loose to me, too sloppy, and its not that it was forced, but it did seem...inauthentic.

There`s nothing more irritating than middle class crackheads pretending to be rock star.

libertines- very good. got both albums and i love both. i think their shambolic, loose approach was the thing that made them popular. it was wild and jagged.
babyshambles seems a bit tighter and more professional. wasnt too keen on killamanjiro but i love **** forever. great song. dont think they'll be as good as the libs.

Yeah, Libs first album was good, 2nd album was, but not as good.
But Babyshambles, i've read reviews of their gigs with their previous drummer (gemma, left 'cos of pete...i think) and it sounded like mayhem. But they seem tighter now, and i LOVE F Forever. tres bien.

Ill take that as a resounding yes from hookers there...

did anybody see that documentary on pete the other week (uk tv).

for those who didnt it was this reporter guy who was like obsessed with pete and so followed him everywhere and got backstage with him n stuff and they had a mutual friendship until it all turned ugly and pete beat him up, but woz very interesting, got to see the really mental side of pete as well as a more sober, sensitive side....kinda

I really liked the Libertines but find Babyshambles overated but **** forever is quite good

This was the night I decided to get rid of my tv. That "documentary" was a disgrace to journalism, they were both out of order, and it glorified the whole sad situation. Max Carlish is clearly unwell and Pete, well I'm sure you've seen it for yourselves at gigs. The only person who came off well in that was Gemma from Babyshambles. She's in it for the music, not one of these horrible cronies who sit around on stage for nothing else than to light Pete's ***s. I adored the Libertines and seriously hope something musically good comes around again. Still, it's nice to be free to tv in an age of Big Brother and the crazy frog adverts. Hah. Some good comes from everything. :)

No - Pete should leave the music industry for a long time and just live a normal life instead of running around with his band of drug-crazed people. I don't like him, or the music, or the gigs. After reading the article Peaches Geldof (I know) wrote, and others about Pete it seems that my suspicions have been confirmed. Pete is a normal guy; just on stage he goes all weird. surely there must be something else kate moss sees except a drugged up, forgetful rock star

Yeah, its called FAME... Much as I don't want to bring supermodel bitch wars to the forum, she's a total golddigger with a penchant for rockstars, before it was Primal Scream, and then Serge from Kasabian. Its all just so she can cultivate her "oooh lookee me playing with all the mean boys" image she's trying to get going.

one (16 year old) person writes an article and you fall for it hook, line and sinker. yea pete has his drug addictions (incidently his band are not all on drugs) but some argue its what makes him the tabloid star he has become

Not jsut peaches, others like Gemma, and everyone I know who has met him says he is a nice guy and not a druggie like he comes across in the media, and what was all that about him ringing up fan's parents, back in the good old days

Hahahahahaha ect. 'Tis all true. I kind of wish it wasn't, 'cause I miss the old Libertines magic or whatever... *Is still laughing* Haha, you really are quite funny.
Aww, but you've got to love Pete, haven't you? I mean...you just do. I'm talking crap now, so I might just shut up...

well, to be honest, if pete doesnt get off his addiction (oh yeah he says he is...whatever) then they are just gonna fail, but seeing as he won young poet of the year, thats gotta be something hasnt it? i may have already said this in this thread, but i can't remember. maybe, if the band gets along a bit better, no arguments like the libs, they may just get somewhere.
