Micks Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Anybody into this band? They're really cool and have a lot of different kinda songs. It's an english thing, so maybe you americans don't like them too much.My favourite song is "Don't Look Back Into The Sun" - It's kinda punkish but also a very pop alike song. If you don't like the band then discuss how cool Pete Doherty is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevdo242 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I've only got their self-titled but I love it. Especially Can't Stand Me Now. Sadly, a lot of people think they're shite just because Pete Doherty was a member. They were a good band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we all know that no talented musician was ever a heroin addict... Why is that closed minded?..and who said he wasn't talented?He acts like an asshole!But you said it in a disrespectful way, as if all he is is an ugly heroin addict who can't stay out of trouble. Yes, he is an arsehole, but arseholes can still write good songs, and he wasn't the only member of the The Libertines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Incredible band. Will influence bands for years to come. Their first album is the better of the two I would say. People really dislike them today but will claim they were a big fan in a decade or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alty Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I love them. Love "What a Waster", "Time for Heroes" and "Tomblands". Really I love all their songs.And I don't hardly care for the whole tabloid frenzy over Pete. He can string a song together but people make judgements on him based on what the read in the tabloids rather than the music. If you slag the bloke off but have never sat down and really listened to the music then ye can just fuck off, so ye can.The Libertines were a fantastic band.I like Babyshambles a lot too, saw them the other month and that's not a gig I'll forget in a hurry. Pete interacts with the crowd in a way like I've never seen another musician do. I have quite a few bits n pieces downloaded, demos etc...One by Babyshambles I think, "Do You Know Me?" is really good.And by the Libertines; Bucket Shop. Great wee song but not on the albums.Dirty Pretty Things are great too but Carl's a bit lost on stage without Pete if I'm honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetchild Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Pretty cool band, they have some cool songs.I hate that Doherty guy though, since he cancelled 2 festival performances where I wanted to go see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Dirty Pretty Things are very good, especially 'Bang Bang Youre Dead'Babyshambles arent my thing, but The Libertines had real talent, and Pete sorta wasted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
