Pete Doherty

[Discombobby]

Hey there Peeps,
I'll believe there's some cute insight into his life his fans will like, but any hardcore druggy stories have been told I think. But I could be wrong. He won't say tit about Kate, Amy or peaches for legal reasons but also out of respect as they were his friends for real, you'd hope?
There's one bit I thought was a but icky, when he mentioned how him and peaches g would help each other score, and how she made him feel like an old man. Erm... You were. She was in her teens you were a decade older. Yeah, not fond of that bit.
I am happy for his new life though. And will be reading the book but not sure if I'm prepared to pay for it! Nice to hear what others think of it!

Yeah I doubt his army kid childhood is that interesting and then everything since is very well documented.

Yeah that bits just him moving house a lot and being posh I think. His mum wrote a book didn't she?
That was apparently a bit embarrassing... Haha.

I’ve read it now... There’s actually quite a bit about Kate and amy in the book. It does go on about drugs a bit too much. And I’m like “yawwwnn”, people drinking and taking drugs is really dull to read about. Much prefer reading about his bromance with Carl. He mentions a few times that he and Carl and definately not gay.

Went to see him and the libertines live a few months ago. He was really good. Looked so healthy. Played 22 songs without one break.

 

[Discombobby]

Lol Pete coming out now saying the lawyers made them edit out all the good bits, he's shocked it was written in the first person and he hasn't read it...
Classic Pete.

 

[vanderlyle]

It defo reads that it was heavily edited.

 

[Rahrah]

I have to admit Pete does make me laugh but he is very much the kind of man who people are very fond of and do lots for, so he can sort of wonder through life.
I don’t doubt lots of juicy/hilarious stories were taken out by lawyers. Maybe because the people involved stopped it, or more likely he only remembered half the story so made up the rest.

 

[vanderlyle]

I can completely understand why he was popular with the ladies when younger: he was beautiful and charming. But I think he’d make a terrible partner: you’d be stressed all the time wondering what he was up to and who he’d bring home next

No idea why everyone didn't fall in love with him on sight... Haha. No he was charismatic but the open sores and black fingernails and green teeth... Yum.

 

[vanderlyle]

Ah, but he was still bloody charming. Would get a piece at anybody’s door.

but particularly before the junk, he was just so handsome. Even in early days of babyshambles he was hot

 

[MrsLucas]

I did used to find him quite attractive I met him once and I was this was when he was with Mossy. I watched a bit of the libertines set from glasto over the weekend. He looks more and more like my dad every time I see him now . I’m so happy that he’s clean I know someplace like Glastonbury can’t be the easiest place to be for a recovering addict.

This is also how I feel about MGK. He is so beautiful and so very damaged. I like that tall thin look.

Who is MGK? X

 

[Flowerpotgirl]

Who is MGK? X

Machine Gun Kelly. Sorry lol

 

[RedFlag69]

he is a giant of a man, stood on my foot once at a gig going towards the stage...kinda turned round to give me a sorry mate look. Great new album. Infinitely more interesting tan Chris Martin or Ed Sheeran. God bless Pete

 

[vanderlyle]

Machine Gun Kelly. Sorry lol

Ah... he too is beautiful and I could see why anyone would fall in love with him. But make a terrible life partner

So problematic. I couldn’t deal with the crazy drugs and drinking. Too damned much.

Yeah. I get crushes on these sort of guys. But in real life I’m married to a lovely responsible, solid man (who is also beautiful)

 

[PeteM]

Er, he's a bleep who leaves groupies behind on beaches when they overdose on smack.

Is that right? That’s a pretty crappy thing to do.

But he was beautiful to look at and very charismatic at the same time.

Doesn’t make him a good person.

 

[Phil Anne Throw Pee]

Er, he's a bleep who leaves groupies behind on beaches when they overdose on smack.

Amen.

& now he's a large bleep who leaves groupies behind to overdose on smack. OK, he probably doesn't but hey ho.

I do think the romanticism of him is OTT. Yes, he does have a talent and had a certain 'charm' when he didn't look like a pitiful crack addict, but he's utterly deplorable IMVHO.
