Sorry i just had to pick up on the mouth breathing retard who said up the bracket was ‘probably the greatest rock album ever’. only if your definition of ever is restricted to the day it was released.

As for Pete, he isn’t really clever, he is a prententious twat. There is a big difference between intelligent (i.e 11 A*’s) and clever. So he can conjugate his verbs properly but he still doesn’t see anything wrong with pumping himself full of shit? It isn’t big or clever to glamorise the use of heroin or crack and the fact that he does it in spite of his supposed ‘supreme intellect’ makes it all the more pitiful and ridiculous. He’ll be forgtten soon anyway.

The Libertines gigs weren’t full of pretentious ‘posh’ people actually. Thats the most dumbest thing anyone has said in ages.

Look past all the drug problems. If you actually bothered to listen to his intellectual deep lyrics, and stopped pecking on his drug addicitions I guess you would see the light.

And as for his drug addictions, as someone highlighted before, even he said ‘ Clever ain’t wise.’

The Libertines music brought people from all classes…. but as he said… ‘i am in a class of my own.’

To be perfectly honest, I think the man is a genius. And I also think that all the uproar about Babyshambles being shit and bad role models is EXACTLY the same sort of thing that people said about the Rolling Stones. I mean, he is a genius, his songs are incredible, but he is also a cunt. Unfortunately, this arguement has been split into two sides: “I HATE DOHERTY THE JUNKIE CUNT HE CAN’T SING UNLIKE MY TREASURED MARIAH CAREY” and “OMFG PETE IZ A GENIOUS HEZ WELL KL”. Which can never be good.

Also, whoever said that neither of his bands were/ are popular is an idiot. First of all, the Libertines were big, especially culturally, and have paved the way for bands like Arctic Monkeys. Secondly, did the Clash ever get a top ten song when they were together? No. And they are, generally, seen as one of the greatest bands of all time. Anyone who says Pete won’t be remembered in a few years time is terribly misinformed. Yes, Babyshambles are pretty shit because Peter is in love with the idea of shambolic genius. But who the fuck wants another Coldplay?

Pete’s Likely Lass. You are so friggin stupid I am surprised you can breath and type at the same time. Pete has achieved tabloid notoriety and nothing more. If he’s your inspiration, you may as well plan a career mucking out the toilets the day after Glasto has finished in hot weather. Speakikng of Glasto, I saw Babyshambles there. I went along to see what all the fuss was about. They were utterly terrible, barely capable of playing music let alone marking the musical landscape with anything of note. PLL, in a few year’s you are going to be so embarrassed about all this.

oh well. Young, stupid love can’t be helped I suppose.

Pete is the sexiest, cleverest guy ever!, or of our generation. I wont ever have the chance to meet him as I am too young to go to his concerts and stuff, but I am in love with him. I just hope he can get help for his drug addiction. It’s ruining him and his talent, he is lkely to pas away soon, which will ruin me and my love for him. I will only have his voice and talent left to remember him by. He’s taught me to do what I want to do in life, do your dreams. If you work hard you will ge tthere, like he has done. You may not think him a talented guitarist or singer, but I do and thats all that matters to me. He’s amazing, keep it up pete (not the drugs.

Also, getting caught with drugs is a plea for help. He wants help but can’t do it on his own. He wants to go to prison, you can tell.

you are all talking yourselves in circles. arguing at length about how unpopular or untalented doherty is surely means that he is exactly the opposite. he is the only rockstar that this decade has created. great.

Yep, Georgia, you’re right, he is amazing.

The way he has two kids that he never or barely sees is just stunning. I really admire that. The way he is such a shining example to them by getting constantly arrested and jabbing himself full of drugs is extraordinary, really something to aspire to and adore.

What other terrific things should we find out about him? Oh, that he let his best mate down by getting so into drugs that their band could no longer survive? Yep, that’s terrific, really good work. Something we should all take note of and emulate.

The interesting thing is that neither the Libertines nor Babyshambles are actually that popular. I mean, Babyshambles run around playing small venues which I guess suits their posh fan base, who can then feel they are really into something “indie”, when really both bands are just media hype wagons that suited the interests of both NME and the Sun.

Oh dear. Isn’t it ironic how super smart Pete has such dim wit fans? Or maybe they are really smart fans, but just with super low standards. Poor old Pete. He’s alright, actually. He just deserves some fans with brains rather than sheep-like instincts.

Im sure the world wouldnt miss Pete Doherty or have been worse off had he not been born, not like he cured cancer, freed an opressed country, he only appeals to certain people, surely if he was a genius more people would appreciate it. And if hes such a genius shouldnt he realise that becoming an ‘idol’ (used very loosely) and then being a druggie would not only glorify druguse but attract media attention. For such a smart guy hes incredibly stupid.

Pete Doherty is wonderful. I absolutley adore him.
He IS amazing, the drugs just get in the way!
Before you write another article like this somewhere, please take the time to find out more about him!

I don’t think I ever asked him to release a rather poor album or run off to Thailand or just generally be a bit of tit.

Unfortunately, it happened anyway.

Incidentally, I appear to have the mind of a 7-year-old.

Barry, can you point out the bit of the article that says ‘junkie’ and ‘smackhead’ please?

Also, for all the people saying ‘STOP CALLING PETE! IT ISN’T FAIR!’ Have you thought that by returning fire (or in simpletons terms, calling people names who write articles) you make your arguement flaccid, like a junkie’s cock?

It’s quite incredible that people who defend someone for being graceful in the face of attack, can be just as narrow minded.

For the record, all bands associated with Pete Doherty as absolutely shite.

Discuss 25 marks.
