Is he just "Pete" now? Same as Elvis? God, that's depressing

It seems if you want a gushing review these days, you need to write it yourself.

He tried to get off with a friend of mine but she blew him out

(This is rumour... )

Poor thing needs to plug her new book to pay pete's legal bills

In some perverse way, I'm coming to enjoy Cheesypoof's Pete threads – there's a reassuring car-crash quality to them

Another vote for "he's shit" here.

Saw 'em last year. Was one of the best gigs I've seen in 15 years. Time before was mediocre due to his condition tbh. Pete's an easy target and 'uncool' to like at the moment. Hope he sorts his problems out.

 

[Dubversion]

oh christ, somebody else playing the 'you only dislike him because that's the cool stance' card.

It's bollocks, mate.

There has been a bandwagon in the media and on boards Dub. I genuinely liked the LP and the gig's I've seen. Thought I'd show solidarity with Cheesy. I think he will be remembered whether people like it or not.

So will Cliff Richard, doesn't make them any good...

Cliff had some classic singles. You can't knock 'Living Doll' or indeed 'Devil woman'

I don't give a fuck about a bandwagon, my opinion of Doherty is precisely that, and I'm prepared to assume that other people who think he's useless have arrived at that conclusion independently, the same as you and cheesy would like people to assume you arrived at your positive opinion independently. Otherwise, the inference is a fairly insulting one

You're right, I can't.

i had the Young Ones do it for me.

Fair enough but there were a lot of fans before he got in the news. He goes from awful gig to brilliant from what I've seen in the best tradition. Sceptical mates enjoyed the last one despite The Paddingtons underachieving (dreadfully overproduced Lp though). Why does Doherty get singled out for this kind of hostility considering the plethora of awful crap out there?

More to the point, why does he get singled out for the kind of adulation some people ladle over him considering the plethora of excellence out there?

saw a couple of minutes, was shit, left.

I've no idea why he gets the fawning and soiled knickers thrown his way. Perhaps some people think he's cute. Who do you rate as better live than Pete at his best at the moment Pigeon?

Gogol Bordello, for one.

I see. Big fan?

Someone keeps starting threads (well, one thread really, let's be honest) about him.

 

[Delia]

I'm with you cheezy. I think Pete is great, loved the Libs and love the Babyshambles album too. Here in NZ, we dont get all that tabloid crap about people like Pete D, so I can judge him on his music. Most people over 'ere have never heard of him. Seems like a few posters on this thread were quick to rise up and slate him, guess that si what over exposure does for ya.
have never seen him life- doubt he will make it to nz any time in the foreseeable. if what they say about his drug use are true he may be dead and buried by the time i get over to UK next.

Who cares if its cool to like someone or not?

I read in NW magazine last week - a very reliable source - that Pete Doherty and Kate Moss are engaged.

Do you think it'll be BYO?

It's been in every tabloid in England for the last few weeks that they are engaged. Whats BYO?

nobody, for fuck's sake. It only ever gets brought up when some twunt starts whining "You only dislike XXX because it's cool to do that".

 

[Cheesypoof]

It's quite simple:

You said

and Cheesypoof said

Can you see the connection now? The person you referred to as Doherty is the same as the one she referred to as Pete.

Best post ever!

and that guardian review was a million miles off the mark - they dont have a clue about music.

unless they gave him a good review, in which case no doubt you'd be singing their praises..

 

[Cheesypoof]

No, I would say something like, 'very surprising that the Guardian have seen the light for once - nice one.'

I actually THINK a lot about what I say kiddo. There is no full moon u know
