I'd never heard of them before I went to Europe, but they have a LOT of hype there so I got curious. I saw Pete Doherty stumble around on Live 8 and was a bit turned off, but I checked it out anyways. i downloaded Up The Bracket and the libertines, I think after a partial listen to each, I prefer the self-titled a bit, although from the reviews I've read, Up the Bracket seems to be more critically acclaimed. I'll give them a few more listens but they seem pretty good.


Oh, I read a bit about Pete Doherty after Live 8, the guy is a train wreck and a half.

great, great band. Probably my favorite to listen to drunk. As far as singles go, you really can't beat any of theirs. And yeah, pete is a bit of a mess. Over in england, apparently he's been called "Kurt Cobain with talent."

Hah

But not even Kurt would have walked on stage smoking a lighter...

good ideia with the libertines

i enjoy them, the self titled is better imo

lets see what Babyshambles can do, and Carl Barat will release a solo album in december

i dont like pete that much, carl is my fav

Ive given the two albums a few listens. It's some really good stuff. Probably my favorite in the genre, lyrically stronger than The Strokes (and a bit more varied).

Kate Moss, who weighs 80 pounds, BEAT UP Pete Doherty.

i always liked the Libs better

the libs are incredibly shit. every month NME would speak of the goings on with these drama queens like it actually mattered...

I saw them play in Spring 2004 with the original line up and they were incredible. So mych energy, vibe and chaos and so many really strong songs.

I think Can't Stand Me Now is a really good song and will still sound like a really good song in 10 years time.

why are you so negative about everything?

the problem is really Pete, and his drugs




ps: "The Man Who Would Be King" kicks ass

fatties
retro throwback bands
morons

thats about all im negative toward.

At last!!! Someone else who thinks Pete Doherty is the most overrated human being alive.

I would like to edit that to:

I think their whole self-titled album is a really good album and will still sound like a really good album in 10 years time.

And I really believe that.

the best is when liam gallager dissed him saying that libertine is a synonym for free..how the fuck can you be free when youre addicted to heroin..there nothin but rubbish!!



as for me the first cd is ok but i think the second one eats it

the first is easier to get into

but the 2nd is definitely my fav

LIAM HITS OUT AT PETE

LIAM GALLAGHER has revealed that PETE DOHERTY has blown his chances of supporting OASIS after failing to turn up to one of their gigs.

Doherty failed to show up to a recent gig at Southampton where he was due to support them with Babyshambles.

Doherty claimed he was unable to return from France in time after attending fashion designer Hedi Slimane’s birthday. Oasis subsequently replaced Babyshambles’ for their planned second support slot at Milton Keynes with The Zutons.

Speaking to Spanish newspaper El Mundo, Liam said: “That’s where the relationship ended. What we’re not going to do is give him a second chance.

“It’s not a question of professionalism. It’s much more simple than that. This is the greatest group in the world and what we’re not going to do is let anyone, Pete Doherty, Liam Gallagher or Elvis, fuck it all up.”






ELTON: 'PETE WAS NERVOUS'




ELTON JOHN has claimed that PETE DOHERTY’s nerves were to blame for the quality of his performance at LIVE8, and described the BABYSHAMBLES singer as “a mess”.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph today (August 4), Sir Elton said: “It's really sad. He's so young I don't think that he's going to listen to anybody. But I don't think the people around him set a good example, which is a shame.”

John revealed that he and Pete practised their cover of ‘Children Of The Revolution’ for the London leg of Live8 until it was “tip-top, perfect.”

“I have to be very discreet what I say, but I just think he was really nervous on the day,” he said. “But, you know, he had his chance to do it and he came on… at least he looked great!"




PETE QUESTIONED BY POLICE




PETE DOHERTY has been questioned by police over an alleged assault.

The singer arrived by appointment at a police station in north London yesterday(August 3).

He was quizzed in connection with allegations over an incident in a pub last week.

He’s been bailed until next month.

the guy really loves some confusion
