make doherty history

[mamafeelgood]

i have just read another crappy piece about how he's got off some drug charge again. what is it about this guy? i just don't get it? why do people care and why do they keep letting him off?? even paris has done some time ...

[Rolo Tomasi]

Tell me about it! Different strokes for different folks (6)

[mamafeelgood]

i can't even remember one of his tunes. i only know about him as he was shagging kate moss ... que passa with the kids today?

[Jah Lush]

Actually, I thought the two albums he did with The Libertines were pretty good. He's a shambles but the cops have ballsed up on this one though.

[Rolo Tomasi]

The big ones were "F**k Forveer" with Babyshambles and "Can't stand me now" with the Libertines. But I know what you talking about, I think i'll try and get busted with Crack and heroin and then claim the Doherty Defence "but officer he gets away with it why are we so different?" and see if that works. But I don't think so somehow.

[Keef]

Did quite liked the Libertines, but think he's a f**king gob shite, and hate seeing he's face on the news! Thing is, he has a following of loyal fans who think he's a modern poet and a wise man :-S

[Jeremy]

"killed a man for his giro today"... worst pun in history. He's about as poetic and wise as my bony arse!

[Keef]

Don't want to comment on your arse Jeremy, but think I agree with you.

[mamafeelgood]

what is he a modern poet to the text speak generation?

[smith]

No. He's a sad, self-destructive, spoilt boy. He might've had a modicum of talent at some point, but now is just another pointless celeb.

[mamafeelgood]

if the rumours are true and they are planning to get paris hilton in the celebrity big brother house, maybe they should get doherty in too. they could chat rehab and talent, something they are both clearly good at.

[Brendan]

The guy was involved in the making of some good rock ?n roll and could have gone on to great things but he?s ballsed it all up now by becoming a ?celebrity?

[Jah Lush]

He's turned into one of the lyrics of his songs:- "What a waster, what a f**king waster, you pissed it all up the wall."

[Alan Dale]

Wasn't Jim Morrison a smack head?

All Doherty has done wrong is outlive his popularity.

[capt_birdseye]

John Lennon liked his heroin too. And Hendrix.

I'm sure Doherty didn't invite all the media coverage of his sordid little life. He was a terrible mess long before he became tabloid fodder. It was the fact that he started seeing Kate Moss that made him such a fixture of the gossip columns. Blame the media for force-feeding his every move down our throats.

[mamafeelgood]

i agree about the press but it's not the press that stops judges from doing their jobs. the situation is just sending out such bad messages, do heroin to the point where you don't care if you're found with it on you, plus all else, and then get off countless times.

didn't goerge michael do community service for a bit of gear and boy george go to prison and do community service in the states?

now is the thread going to be hijacked by bad jokes on george micheal's arrest in thoe LA loos ...

[mockney piers]

I thought Doherty was more of a crack man.

Tha main thing he did wrong was to believe he was a major figure when he's only an f list celebrity.

Old rock and roll stars were larger than life and their careers were larger than life. Doherty was in a band with one good album, they had promise but weren't even particulalry famous. and then he went out with a famous chav from croydon...woopeedoo.

If he were to be sent down for the many years he deserves or gets himself killed i don't think I'd even miss a stride.

I just resent him appearing in proper newspapers.

Yep and they were both gob shites! Lennon wrote great songs, but was basically a tw@t, who probably would have gone on to write more crap than he'd written good stuff like his writing partner has done.

Hendrix was great for doing something different, but really wasn't that special, and those who put him at number 1 guitarist of all time are crazy! Anyway, he was an idiot who choked on his own vomit, serves him right, maybe it'll happen to Doherty and we can all forget about him....

Note: I realise that what I have just said will probably earn me a proper slating, but I don't care. I hate over rated musicians who are liked because people are told they're good and ought to be liked.

[Jah Lush]

Keef, you're right about Lennon but what you say about Hendrix is so so wrong. Anyway, as I've already told you Jeff Beck is the man.

[mockney piers]

Keef, you have reason, as they say in spain.

The difference being that many years down the road we're still talking about them, I can't see us talking about doherty in 25 years time, even if someone does us all a favour and does a Mark Chapman.

As Dan le Sac said

"The Beatles were just a band.

Led Zeppelin , just a band.

The Beach Boys , just a band..

The Sex Pistols , just a band.

The Clash , just a band.

Crass , just a band.

Minor Threat , just a band.

The Cure , just a band.

The Smiths , just a band.

Nirvana , just a band.

The Pixies, just a band.

Oasis , just a band.

Radiohead , just a band.

Bloc Party , just a band.

The Arctic Monkeys, just a band.

"The next big thing", just a band."

[Keef]

Surely Guns N's Roses should be in that list ;-)

Jah, when it comes to Hendrix I'm always torn... Like I say, he did something different which was great, and he had some top tunes (Little Wing and Hey Joe being 2 of my favourites), but just don't think he was the genius everyone made him out to be... Plus he played a strat and it was upsidedown, fool ;-)

[Brendan]

Bloody hell I turn my back and they start blaspheming. I?ll not have it I tell you!

Hendrix could play as quickly and technically as any of his contemporaries most notably Eric Clapton. The thing was he did it with his own very unique style and touch of flare which is what made him great.

I have always wondered about that guitar of his though. It must have been made by the same guy as that Citroen I rented in France that had the steering wheel on the wrong side.

[Alan Dale]

Ace of Base, just a band...

[capt_birdseye]

Hendrix - amazing guitarist, if you like that kind of thing. All but around 6 of his songs are dull as ditchwater though. And those 6 include a couple of cover versions!

Lennon - yeah was probably a gob-shite - but what has that really got to do with Lennon the musician? You really can't argue with his body of work. Fair enough, it was all down-hill after "Imagine", but you have to admit he'd set himself a pretty high bar. McCartney too, comes across as a complete eejit, but I can still forgive him Mull of Kintyre and Frog Chorus because of his Beatles output.

[Alan Dale]

Lindisfarne- just a band... and an Island.
