I met Pete once in High Bridge, Newcastle. He was unbelievably charming and showed me a load of ties he’d just bought from a retro shop. I was just a fan saying hello but he seemed to enjoy the fact I wasn’t asking for anything and just being normal. When he said bye, I said “take care Pete” and he gave me the saddest smile and said “I’ll try.”
“It’s beginning to dawn on me I can’t... basically, I can’t smoke crack anymore.” Anyone who’s struggled with dependency/addiction will understand how he felt in that moment. It doesn’t matter if it’s alcohol, heroin, Xanax, insert addictive drug here. Giving up ANY drug you’ve become dependent on feels like you’re losing a piece of the puzzle that is you. To complicate matters (especially early on in recovery), your brain has a knack for remembering the good times rather than the times you were struggling to stay alive.
I’m 5 years sober, thanks to methadone shit saved my life!! Music is a gateway to pain relief. When you listen to a artist who is going threw a similar struggle, you feel as if there’s people in this world who get us. Not only does the music kick, it’s a deeper connection.
He's living in France now, eating loads of cheese on his farm. He's put loads of weight on. I thought it was a wind up when me mam sent me a recent pic of him til I googled it and it was legit. Loads of articles about it. Hopefully he's doing well. As an addict in recovery myself I know being overweight doesn't mean you're not using. It can do, and he probably isn't but other drugs, like benzos and pregabs make you gain weight, and antidepressants do too. I've always liked Pete, so whatever stage of his recovery he's at, I wish him the best. He said he's "mostly clean" whatever that means to him. Maybe he's on methadone. Whatever it takes to enable you to live a safer life is a good thing to me
22 and he's happily married, just published a beautiful new album and still is...padampadam, pretty clean so far, says he doesn't even think of drugs that much :)) there are still some good things happening in this world
When he starts crying after talking about his father, you can tell that they took a break and he went to shoot up heroin. The crook of his arm is covered in blood. Just an example of how people use drugs to regulate emotions, to numb themselves.
if you think he is think you need to try and work out his lyrics. its pure poetry however he doesn't need to go back in time and yes he has been influenced-but he is appreciated and will always have a cult following to a point where the band will live long after it dies,
sundayuneedlove pmsl you do know he has 7 a* and 4a in his gcse's. He also got 4 a levels including 2 a's. Seems the only moron here is you, 30 years of culture to theif from? You fucking idiot, thats what every singer for the last 100 years has done.
Pete Doherty is a very good songwriter, very poetic lyrics, intelligent guy no doubt. But to say he would have been held in the same regard as Dylan shows that you might not be too familiar with the music scene of the sixties and seventies. That was the time of so many great songwriters, there's a long list. As songwriters all of them lived in Dylans shadow. The best of them, like Paul Simon for example, managed to differentiate themselves and become successful in their own right. John Lennon was never as highly regarded as Bob Dylan as a songwriter. The Beatles wrote great songs together and were probably the most commercially successful band of the era, they then broke up and went solo. Lennon and Harrison were good solo songwriters but they were always in awe of Dylan. In the sixties the Beatles at first were doing simple catchy pop tunes. Lennon brought BDs second album to the group and they had it playing repeatedly at their place. It was that album that inspired them to move away from the pop tunes and to write the more lyrically creative songs on their later records. In summary, there are really good songwriters in the modern age despite what some people say. Pete Doherty is one of them and he is lucky to be blessed with good looks also because with each generation that seems to become more important than the actual music, but he would never have been held in the same regard as Dylan as a songwriter.
How right Lisa was around the 39 minute mark. Since the chaos has stopped, he's been touring the world with his solo band and there's never anything negative in the press about him.
Not cos of being clean- essentially cos of not dating Kate moss and poss in ref to that idiot journo him not dying...meaning it’s the press driving that chaos really
Really cool documentary, but seeing Peter w/Babyshambles playing Dirty Old Town with Shane MacGowan in a f-ing bar was the coolest part. Really glad he's still alive and actually looking good in April 2019. Peace.
Great documentary still one of the best documentaries about peter love the bit at abt 50 mins in " oh no Billy bilo pebble was the one who stole the giro" while he sings killamangiro classic peter Doherty
I was a some of these concerts and I originally set up Ashtar Alkhirson with Peter to make the documentary for BBC 2's Arena in the hoped expectation that the constant precedes of an outside film unit might cramp to at least some extent his immoderate lifestyle.
I disagree on one level with Tonya Gold who said we like watching tragedies and people fail. Sometimes we like to watch someone who says "yes" to a certain lifestyle we have to say "no" to.
Im only now realising how good the libertines are....i remember when theu came out big in early 2000s but i didnt get it then....i do now though...he is a poet
I am glad Peter is healthier and seemingly happy now, but when I watch this, I miss my old Babyshambles days. I was at that Get Loaded in the Park gig and every Shambles gig was just pure dopamine. I miss that. sorry, bit nostalgic right now
I find him fascinating he's so talented smart the way he dresses walks talks yeah I can see why the ladies like him...he's a true artist and most artist who are brilliant all struggle with depression some crazy as shit
Good taste...Hancock's Half Hour. He seems depressed and lost at this time in his life, I find it hard to believe he's clean here, maybe booze and tranquillisers. I hope he's happier and more stable. Addiction is a tough road for anyone. A very talented and driven man. It's sad to see him with his son at 21:57. I hope they have a relationship still.
He's not clean now. He just gave an interview where he said he still uses as for "maintenance" The libs are a shell of what they once we're and it's sad to see them just going through the motions living off of past glories. Cheers, my friend from buffalo new york
I used to really like Pete, and I still love the music. But as a father, seeing him not be there for a kid who obviously wants him around is heart breaking. The kid should come first
Plenty of parents aren’t around all the time for their kids whenever they want...plenty of people are never around. Plenty of people are around sometimes and fuck ppl up even more. Fact is in this day and age we are understanding everyone has struggles- grown ups as much as anyone. As a son of a father who the world pretty unanimously agree woulda been better off for the world him not existing the i don’t think you can slate Pete too heavily- if he’s at least shown His kid he loves him and won’t castigate him or string him up on a line for not being perfect then I think he’s done ok... Finally look at pete- had a dad who was around all the time, mum n dad together but the kid still got hurt... Life’s hard man only thing you can do is try to respond with love and understanding
Nature of addiction though isn't it!?!!! That monkey on your back screams louder than the love you feel for anything else and it is near impossible to get clean (which is why the majority of addicts end up dead!!!) Dont judge what you havent lived basically, none of us should.
I was youngest when i used to see negative stuff about pete, i am only realising now how talented he ìs, addiction destroys our abilities can you imagine were he he would be
i definitely need subtitles. i haven't finished watching cause i intend on looking it up with subtitles.. but up to what i've seen.. that freelance journalist.. she doesn't really seem very intelligent.. i mean okay, she thinks people want to see others fall apart, and it's her opinion that's great, i don't have a problem with that.. but when asked why, she just replies "oh well that comes from a really dark place". seriously? that's your explanation? what does a dark place even mean.. it seems like she doesn't have any kind of argument to support her statement. disappointing.. she is a journalist.. her job is to analyse things. so i thought of what she says, this excitement society feels towards these kind of characters.. i personally do not see him as someone who is falling apart, but "society" probably does.. so i tried to find a reason why people would be entertained by watching someone "fall apart".. and i came up with this: i think people are afraid to get out of their comfort zones.. they just do what they're told.. and that is safe.. you just go to school, finish school, go to uni, get a job to get a house, to raise a family, to buy a car, to go on vacations, to die. don't do drugs. don't drink. sleep 7 hours every day. have a nice hair, have a nice skin, eat "healthy" blah blah blah.. there are all these rules we follow so blindly.. so when they see someone escaping that regime, they want to see them "crumble" cause they want to feel reassured that the life they lead is the "correct" one.. once again i don't see people like pete as someone who's crumbling.. but society does.. or at least they want to, I THINK they desperately want to convince themselves that having this manufactured life is what's good.. they are eating what is being fed to them.. gladly.. because they are too afraid to take the risk of going looking for their own food.
You are right. Have you read the book of Lennon's interview 70's Rolling Stones Magazine? Well. John said: When we started the band, and when also started all the " Beatlemania" I remember a lot of times, that we always ask rooms one by one. I did that, because, in the room of our 2 friends ( Derek Taylor and Neil) they had hookers and heroin, cocaine and other things too. At that time, My drug was the amphetamines, alcohol and Marihuana. But they, had always heroin and cocaine and their tables!!! That's a fact! So, Maybe, some people want Pete being doped, to manipulate him, to record disc. Jimi Hendrix was in this chaos too, and also the other artists of that decade. Kurt Cobain said: Every time, 10 years, each one by one, came out, suddenly a really good band. And when we were that band in the 90's, We were chosen to represent the group of this decade. That says to me: The records company, take always advantage with the artist. Rape me, was a song written and dedicated to all the big record company.
Yeah i think that's definitely very probable.. it'd be so ironic though, wouldn't it? that this people we see as rule breakers and rebels end up being just another set of puppets for the system.. just to entertain us, create obsessions, fandoms, cults, and basically raise more money.. if you think about it, most musicians are so restrained.. like for example: who in their right mind would agree to tour for 10 months straight or even more, playing every night or every two nights??? no matter how much you enjoy it, i don't think anyone would really chose to do that. to not even know what city you are in, getting dragged from place to place, interview to photoshoot.. seriously, are we really going to believe that they need that or else they wouldn't make enough money??? i don't buy it. i don't understand why musicians agree to it either. i don't know..I guess everything's much more complex than it seems..
caro Exactly. Like John and also Keith Richards said: We like be in home. The tour are exhausting to me. I prefer to made an album and record it. And that's all. What you say is truth.!
Idk, as I read comments that journalist is getting ALOT of hate, maybe rightfully so... but she's not a psychologist, so when she says it comes from "a dark place in the human soul" maybe she doesn't quite know exactly where it comes from? Which is okay, she's allowed to not know. I personally love Pete more than any other artist today, but what she says is true. People did turn up for public executions, there are a ton of death videos online, people buy up tabloids and tabloid trainwrecks like they're going out of style, she's right- people like to see other people fall apart. It makes them feel better about their own lives (my opinion).
No, i know she's not a psychologist i just thought her explanation was too vague.. you don't need to know for certain.. but you can form a theory, at least explain the reason behind your statement.. that's what bothered me. Also, i wanted to expose "my theory" haha
Pete still going strong in his 40s and there's athletes In there 20s dropping dead.. football players 27yr old dropping dead on the pitch this guy kieth Richard's and others still happy making music.. life's a funny old game
He’s very honest and you have to respect it. He doesn’t hide any of his drug use or negatives. As though it’s almost never occurred to him that he might. There are a lot of people that use drugs and do similar things but hide it well. Pete doesn’t seem to feel the need to. Or maybe he just can’t now so he’s forced to own it.
Absolutely loved this Doccie !! As good as "No Innocent Bystanders." Which if my memory serves was a Roger Sargant - who, it goes without saying but i'll say it anyways - is consummate !!..☆☆ Tx for the post !!..♡♡

not got to the bit with Tanya yet but the comments seem pretty unanimous. I have a mental picture of what she will look like from the comments. I wonder how accurate I am
Its mad when your an addict, I couldn't trust anyone either but I could trust my dealers ! Thats what my drug did to me , really struggled like everyone else that got addicted to thid drug , I still bump into people that are still using , some that are into a 25yrs habit and are still alive .

What folk don't get is that it all relys on the songs. He said so in an old interview. What he lost was the song as he continued. Really the attention from the press killed his graft. All the drama helped the band gain infamy but fucked everything else.
jesus you've really not understood what she's saying at all have you. she's not saying it's what she wants to see, she's saying thats what the general public want to see and explaining why the media are fixated on him the way they are. what she says is unfortunately very true.
Why is she smiling as she’s saying it? And calling it schadenfreude is pretty reductive if not idiotic...even i. People are obsessed with that life not because they see it as a misfortune...more a mystery or a temptation hence why it is then dressed purely as descent...i If all that came from Schadenfreude then the victims would garner more press than the murderer...it’s more about doubt and reassurance id say... But regardless what she says is clearly not totally objective and it’s all said in a tone of admission...when she’s saying ‘ to the press hes just this...he sells papers makes money...they don’t care about him...they don’t have a personal relationship with him’ Vis à vis by HER reasoning- she is Both journo and has no personal relationship with him...
One midweek morning I got stopped by the old bill in SOHO's "piss ally", outside my work. They mistook me for Pete. He'd been shoplifting and ran past me 2 mins earlier. I obviously sent the officers in the opposite direction. I think they still caught poor old Pete, in the end though? This "journalist" is effing atrocious , by the way.
How is he these days I see he is not in the press the whole time. I respect his decision to have the implant, but not if it kills his writing ability. Hope he is well ? Maybe the Amy Winehouse thing shook him up ? Anyways nice to see he may no be hounded as he was
Opiates/crack/ those sorts of things...ETOH ⚫ your soul. Cannabis for medicinal reasons and psychedelics for trauma are the only drugs that will heal ya soul. Bless ya Pete. Glad you are off opiates etc and alive.you are very talented. I love watching 👀 😍 you and Carl ❤ together.I hope you and your son have a lovely friendship. All the best from Perth, Australia.

Spot on.
Agreed.
Agree 100%
I’m 5 years sober, thanks to methadone shit saved my life!! Music is a gateway to pain relief. When you listen to a artist who is going threw a similar struggle, you feel as if there’s people in this world who get us. Not only does the music kick, it’s a deeper connection.

Made it to 2021
He's living in France now, eating loads of cheese on his farm. He's put loads of weight on. I thought it was a wind up when me mam sent me a recent pic of him til I googled it and it was legit.

Let the bon temps rulez, I bet he's doing fine, France is great! :)
22 and he's happily married, just published a beautiful new album and still is...padampadam, pretty clean so far, says he doesn't even think of drugs that much :))
there are still some good things happening in this world
He just makes you wanna give him a big hug!
Love Pete as a lyricist and poet. Also met him a few times in Brick Lane. He signed my poetry book.
i love pete and his music. he is such an original artist. i wish him the best.
He is tue greatest!!
When he starts crying after talking about his father, you can tell that they took a break and he went to shoot up heroin. The crook of his arm is covered in blood. Just an example of how people use drugs to regulate emotions, to numb themselves.
Noticed.
If he was born 30 years earlier he would be held in the same regard as Lennon, Dylan and co. what he writes can't be described as anything but poetry
if you think he is think you need to try and work out his lyrics. its pure poetry
however he doesn't need to go back in time and yes he has been influenced-but he is appreciated and will always have a cult following to a point where the band will live long after it dies,

Pete, Happy Birthday! あなたが生まれてきたことに感謝します。ありがとう。健康でいますように。Thanks.
Ho letto i suoi testi. Sono gli ultimi testi che racchiudono una melodia poetica . Forse l'ultimo .
The song at 20:12 is raise the kaboose
Pete still going strong in his 40s and there's athletes In there 20s dropping dead..
football players 27yr old dropping dead on the pitch this guy kieth Richard's and others still happy making music.. life's a funny old game
Heroin actually extends your life, as long as you don't OD
He’s very honest and you have to respect it. He doesn’t hide any of his drug use or negatives. As though it’s almost never occurred to him that he might. There are a lot of people that use drugs and do similar things but hide it well. Pete doesn’t seem to feel the need to. Or maybe he just can’t now so he’s forced to own it.
I'd say he's open about the drug use cause he likes the attention
Lokking forward to the new movie x
His vocal/lyric style is like a modern day Steve Harley with a bit of a different edge.
😂 very well observed
It actually is!
Although Pete isn’t a one hit wonder with mediocre instrumentation
Pete is an absolutely wonderful poet
get intoxicated with wine, poetry or virtue!
Or all three at once...😂
Absolutely loved this Doccie !!
As good as "No Innocent Bystanders."
Which if my memory serves was a Roger Sargant - who, it goes without saying but i'll say it anyways - is consummate !!..☆☆
Tx for the post !!..♡♡
You got any idea what melody it is though? I like it!
Thank you :)
14:54 looks like Adam jumped in his time machine and went back to 1965 and picked up his hat and then on the way back he stopped off in 1995 and picked up that mobile phone.
big shout out to the camera WoMen and this guy
what song are they performing at the beginning
fuck forever
not got to the bit with Tanya yet but the comments seem pretty unanimous. I have a mental picture of what she will look like from the comments. I wonder how accurate I am
i love that melody though. any idea what it might be?
the girl from 24:00 is completely wrong with her opinion. its just not right.. i wish there were less people like her.
April 2023 and Pete remains in France out of heroin !!
Pete is a goddamn genius.
Legend!!❤
Anyone know the poets recited in this documentary?
Baudaliare
French poet
Baudelaire, le spleen.
" Enivrez-vous de vin, de vertu, à votre guise"
Its mad when your an addict, I couldn't trust anyone either but I could trust my dealers !
Thats what my drug did to me , really struggled like everyone else that got addicted to thid drug , I still bump into people that are still using , some that are into a 25yrs habit and are still alive .
I do.
4 ods on my back.
Still, I would say, alive.

"He sought the old scenes with eager feet -
The scenes he had known as a boy;
"Oh, for a draught of those fountains sweet,
And a taste of that vanished joy!"
Burroughs, the naturalist, I mean the other.
By the way, you have a rare sense of poetry, to rally the tree and the sky.
im amazed hes still alive
T Arnold If you are telling the truth, I would truly hate to meet you if I was in need of help.
@@buckbumble I am pleased he is

what's the song at 30:00?
it's sounds like the melody is from the La's, but I'm not sure about the lyrics.
Son of a gun by the las
It’s hard to come down to the real world
What's the song around 26:45
Song @ 34:10 ?
What folk don't get is that it all relys on the songs. He said so in an old interview. What he lost was the song as he continued. Really the attention from the press killed his graft. All the drama helped the band gain infamy but fucked everything else.
can't understand a word Pete's saying tbh
He has a very strong british accent
What's he drinking around 6:30? It looks like some kind of liqueur, but it's in something that looks more like a beer bottle.
Like a chocolate milk drink, maybe alcohoic, maybe not. Either way, it looks pretty good lolz. Cheers, my friend
Mudslide maybe
its a chocolate vodka drink called mud shake
What's the song at 8:42 ?
Dont look back into the sun
High and Dry at the end class.
what is the song 26:00?
So much for the full documentary?

Boards Of Canada about ten minutes from the end
29:08 "I shouldn't of had that big nose bag in the taxi, pranged me right out" hahaa jokes
Grace/wastelands
The good ship Albion sails on
Don't Look Back Into The Sun - Libertines
Janie Jones, a cover from the Clash :)
26:12 "Jack her up, Fillo!" lol
gotta love Pete ;)
Good swimmer!
A fantastic documentary, the best on Peter.
jesus you've really not understood what she's saying at all have you. she's not saying it's what she wants to see, she's saying thats what the general public want to see and explaining why the media are fixated on him the way they are. what she says is unfortunately very true.
Why is she smiling as she’s saying it?
And calling it schadenfreude is pretty reductive if not idiotic...even i. People are obsessed with that life not because they see it as a misfortune...more a mystery or a temptation hence why it is then dressed purely as descent...i
If all that came from
Schadenfreude then the victims would garner more press than the murderer...it’s more about doubt and reassurance id say...
But regardless what she says is clearly not totally objective and it’s all said in a tone of admission...when she’s saying ‘ to the press hes just this...he sells papers makes money...they don’t care about him...they don’t have a personal relationship with him’
Vis à vis by HER reasoning- she is Both journo and has no personal relationship with him...
One midweek morning I got stopped by the old bill in SOHO's "piss ally", outside my work. They mistook me for Pete. He'd been shoplifting and ran past me 2 mins earlier. I obviously sent the officers in the opposite direction. I think they still caught poor old Pete, in the end though?
This "journalist" is effing atrocious , by the way.
mad to think how someone you picture being loaded would shoplift
How about 0:34?
How is he these days I see he is not in the press the whole time. I respect his decision to have the implant, but not if it kills his writing ability. Hope he is well ? Maybe the Amy Winehouse thing shook him up ? Anyways nice to see he may no be hounded as he was
I quite like Peters style of playing guitar like when he was with his son its a unique style he has there and i have a A level in music lol 😂
Opiates/crack/ those sorts of things...ETOH ⚫ your soul. Cannabis for medicinal reasons and psychedelics for trauma are the only drugs that will heal ya soul. Bless ya Pete. Glad you are off opiates etc and alive.you are very talented. I love watching 👀 😍 you and Carl ❤ together.I hope you and your son have a lovely friendship. All the best from Perth, Australia.
Opiates for medical reasons
