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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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."

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 ;-)

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.

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.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
