Pete Doherty-musical genius or waste of space

sorry i should have made both an option, 'wasted talent' or something, sorry folks

 

sumed it up for me

 

Oh its ok for a member to say they would kill someone,but when i call them an * for saying that,i get accused of being insulting,How ironic!!So its ok to murder people now for not liking them!!As for people idolising a junkie,its there choice!!It comes with the territorey hes in,I dont think hes the first junkie to be idilised&he certanley wont be the last!!oh one more thing,I wouldnt say his making a fortune,last i heard he was just getting by.

 

"just going by what you have read"

in comparison to what? do you know him personally? people can only make judgements on what they have read and to be fair, almost all of his bad press is true, im not a docherty hater, i like his music, but lets keep it realistic here

 

How can you say he's a musical genius guys? Fair enough, you're entitled to your opinions, but come on to *.

Go listen to stuff like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Andy McKee, then you'll really hear musical geniuses.

 

well that member wasnt insulting you directly, he was giving his opinion, just because you disagree doesnt mean you can start petty name calling, and yes you can idolise who you want, but he is hardly a good role model, and that bothers a lot of people too, im a fan of his music but you have to be realistic, and as for you saying you donr care about his personal life as long as he keeps making good music.....well he wont if he continues the way he is living, he will be dead

 

agreed

 

*?
EDIT: your entitled to your opinion but try linkin park! even green day...

 

please dont tell me you are actually questioning the genius that is pink floyd?

 

* *, its all kicking of in hear, rock'n'roll

 

Pmsl.

Two words bro... Comfortably Numb.

 

I know he wasnt,Well that was my opinion,anyone who says they would end somones life,for being a waste of space is an * in my opinion,iv met pete a few times,hes been nothing but a genuine nice guy,alot of time for his fans,so i did find it insulting the kill him comment!!

 

i just think that so many fans are blinkered, the man is a heroin and crack cocaine user, he has stolen from friends and family, he has been in and out of jail, you wouldnt want him as your neighbour or your friend, yes he is very talented, but he lets his fans down, i had tickets to see him on 5 occassions and only 2 of those did he turn up, he is not * like, he is a wasted life

 

i too have met him, but lets face it, hes not your best mate is he? he was pleasant when i met him too, i have also spent a weekend with dominic masters , he is the man pete wrote the man who would be king about, and the frontman of the others, and i can assure you, pete is a lovely man but he is a thief and he is a user and his priority in life is drugs, talented yes, idol, no, not for me anyway,

 

I never said he was an idol!!How would you feel if I said "I would end Davids Bowies life if I saw him in the street" Point being its not a very nice thing to say !!unless it was your worst enemy!!

 

you clearly do idolise him, if someone wanted to kill david bowie, and told me so on an internet forum, i wouldnt go calling them an *, but mr bowie really doesnt inspire the same sort of hate as pete does

 

he has a point tho, bowie had a drugs problem aswell!!

 

yes, i am aware of that , what has that got to do with calling someone an * because they would kill pete docherty?

 

Lep Zep are * dung!! And Page can play but he's to scale orientated, i'd put Gilmour ahead of him any day of the week. Pete will never be up there wae the likes of The Floyd, The Roses, The Doors, Bob Dylan etc. etc. but he was one time the most naturally gifted song writer on the planet, the lyrics literally flowed out of him. I think he's the modern day Syd Barrett.

 

No offense Angie but you've not got a leg to stand on here. For someone to come out with a statement like 'i'd end the * life' is way out of line. Calling him an * is being polite, i'd call him far worse.

What would you say to someone who would say 'i hope that * kris boyd gets his * leg snapped in two'?
