Pete in drugs overdose :(

[chico enrico]

yep. i know you either love pete or hate him but his musicianship is what counts, and hes a very talented bloke.

Sorry, but his music and lyrics are utter shit.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Terrible news. The man had his whole life behind him.

 

[Cheesypoof]

Sorry, but his music and lyrics are utter shit.

dont apologise for having your own opinion, although you havent given any reasons. i dont care!

and pk, lots of the best musicians in the world acknowledge that he has talent. I think hes got more than talent - you dont get many bands inspiring good old fashioned stage riots these days!!

 

[chico enrico]

yeh hes a proper rock and roll star too, a rarity these days, not some soft soppy wanker.

Albeit one who employs no less than FOUR stylists, has consultations with Max Clifford and a PR to inform tabloids of his exploits. Like this one i would expect.

 

[5t3IIa]

Them, that band with Carl thingy, did one good album but I totally lost interest after they split up.

 

[Balbi]

Cheesy. Try Twisted Wheel

 

[Epona]

His music is nothing special, it doesn't offend my sensibilities, but it's not groundbreaking or heartstopping. As for him, he's just a bit of a prat.

 

[Dillinger4]

Done that. Dull. Nothing special.

You sure that's not cos the 'fans' are disapointed at his performance?

When ever I've seen him on TV recently he's been so stoned on stage he can barely hold his guitar let alone play it.

Pete's useful. If it wasn't for prize tossers copying him by wearing those stupid hats we wouldn't be able to identify them at long range. If only we were allowed to hunt them.

thats a load of bollox, but i wouldnt give one single solitary toss either way. pete is totally pretentious and an arsehole but hes a fucking blinding performer and captivating songwriter

 

[Balbi]

There's none that are so blind.

Last time I saw him live he threw the drumkit at the audience.

To be fair, the drummer was upstaging him by actually knowing how to play his instrument.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Silly cunt almost dies by being a silly cunt.

 

[Melinda]

What's for lunch... anyone?

you obviously went to a terrible gig. with pete you see its 50:50. Hes a junkie, so sometimes hes stoned out of his mind and appalling, falling all over the place, like our other troubled friend Amy Winehouse. Other times however, hes absolutely spellbinding, especially when he does jazz after dark, the acoustic aftershows.

i've never been to a bad Pete show actually, every time ive been lucky, and babyshambles have been really tight, although have been to one or two no-shows.

 

[blossie33]

I hope he pulls through.

But on your other points, I neither love nor hate him, and I don't think he's talented at all. His songwriting is poor, and his guitar playing is soulless.

Amy has talent, though.

My opinion too.

 

[rekil]

He is a thoroughly appalling dribbling wankwad of a man and I dont believe a word of this story.

 

[veracity]

Pls can you tell us who these 'best musicians in the world' are?

FWIW I don't wish the poor hopeless thing dead but I think there are many more talented musicians in the world than him.

oh well, at least you got the first part right. S'pose that's as good as we'll ever get from you

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Probably auditioning for a place in Mötley Crüe.

...and recently, true to form, they failed to get to the venue on time.

I'd pay through the nose to have Pete Doherty post a 'Cheesy in drugs overdose' thread.

 

[MooChild]

Mediocre pop nonentity, so edgy cos he does drugs oooh.

Standing up for him though, if i could actually face listening to his mawkish rambling nonsense every day, i'd want to lie comatose in a puddle of my own vomit too.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Troubled British singer Pete Doherty had a run in with airline staff after he turned up late for a flight to Salzburg and then started crying.

"I informed British Airways of my late arrival. I told them I was a kind of minor celebrity and I might get into a bit of hassle at the airport. I was crying but I didn't want them to see,” Doherty said.

He added: “A cynic might say I missed the plane but an honest man might say I went to the airport a little late.”

This is not the first time Doherty has been in the news. Recently, he angered his landlord with his plans to stage a Babyshambles Show at his home.

what a twat

"Hold the plane! hold the plane for me! I'm famous! but I can't be arsed to get to the airport on time!"

I feel sorry for the daft sods who keep enabling him by buying tickets for gigs that are a shambles, baby.

Harsh, but fair.

You know any time I do my Pete threads I come to realise more and more how much Urban 75 has changed - with the kind of posters it attracts.

when i started posting here in 2001 the calibre of people were very different to the snidey, sneery jeery closet conservatives we have on here these days. I mean, if people dislike Pete's music fair enuff, but the virtriol on these boards towards someone like Pete because of the drugs smacks of the type of wankers youd get on the Daily Mail forum.

 

[Roadkill]

Pmsl

And that was a quick edit, Cheesy...

What a quite fantastic way to miss the point
