Question Babyshambles (Will they be ****ing forever?)

Killimanjiro= Fantastic F*** Forever= Flantastic (btw MTV2 play the uncensored version BEFORE watershed which is quite amusing when you have kids around asking what the naughty boy on the British donkey is saying) Live= OH MY GOD COULD THEY BE ANY CRAPPER???.

So now Petes off the smack, has he lost whatever made him such an onstage icon? The band honsetly were quite pathetic at their festival appearences so far, my band (who have been together 3 days and boast three spoon players and a pigeon as a singer) couldve done better.

Are Babyshambles going to disappear into history as that funny side project Pete Moss (I sooo hope he takes her name) had, or will they be Libertines beaters? Or where The Libs equally as terrible all along? You tell ME, wise guy/gal/pigeon singer.

The libertines, to me, where never as phenominal as anyone made them out to be. They were decent, but theres something to be said for some form of fluid directness. They seemed to be too loose to me, too sloppy, and its not that it was forced, but it did seem...inauthentic.

There`s nothing more irritating than middle class crackheads pretending to be rock star.

libertines- very good. got both albums and i love both. i think their shambolic, loose approach was the thing that made them popular. it was wild and jagged.
babyshambles seems a bit tighter and more professional. wasnt too keen on killamanjiro but i love **** forever. great song. dont think they'll be as good as the libs.

Yeah, Libs first album was good, 2nd album was, but not as good.
But Babyshambles, i've read reviews of their gigs with their previous drummer (gemma, left 'cos of pete...i think) and it sounded like mayhem. But they seem tighter now, and i LOVE F Forever. tres bien.

This was the night I decided to get rid of my tv. That "documentary" was a disgrace to journalism, they were both out of order, and it glorified the whole sad situation. Max Carlish is clearly unwell and Pete, well I'm sure you've seen it for yourselves at gigs. The only person who came off well in that was Gemma from Babyshambles. She's in it for the music, not one of these horrible cronies who sit around on stage for nothing else than to light Pete's ***s. I adored the Libertines and seriously hope something musically good comes around again. Still, it's nice to be free to tv in an age of Big Brother and the crazy frog adverts. Hah. Some good comes from everything.
