E Pete Doherty é de novo notícia...

"Pete Doherty voltou a desiludir os fãs, não comparecendo a um concerto marcado para o Scala de Londres, na passada Terça-feira (3 de Agosto). Segundo a imprensa britânica, o ex-Libertines prometera actuar naquela sala, tocando o seu novo êxito, 'For Lovers', mas acabou por não aparecer no local.

Na noite anterior, Pete Doherty convidara os fãs para um concerto em local secreto, pedindo-lhes que se deslocassem ao Norte de Londres para receberem mais pormenores da actuação, que lhes seriam dados por telefone público. Os bilhetes custavam 10 libras (cerca de 15 euros). No entanto, à porta do clube onde ia tocar, Pete Doherty envolveu-se numa discussão com o porteiro, que não quis deixar entrar o seu técnico de guitarra, nem alguns fãs que se tinham juntado à porta, sem bilhete. O guitarrista diz ter ficado aborrecido por o porteiro se recusar a pedir-lhe desculpa, tendo como tal desistido de actuar.

Desde então, Pete Doherty, expulso este ano dos Libertines devido ao seu comportamento erróneo, cancelou uma segunda data na mesma sala e faltou, sem aviso, a um novo concerto". (cotonete)

E quem são os Libertines?

"The Libertines joined the pop fray of 2002, competing with the likes of the Strokes, the Hives, the Vines and Doves with their debut single "What a Waster." The Bernard Butler-produced track entered the U.K.'s Top 40 in June, leaving NME to crown the Libertines as the best new band in Britain. The double-A side song "I Get Along" earned Single of the Week on BBC Radio 1. The Libertines, which inked a deal with Rough Trade in December 2001, is comprised of Carl Barat (guitar/vocals), Pete Doherty (guitar/vocals), John Hassall (bass), and Gary Powell (drums). Up the Bracket was released stateside in March 2003 while the single "Time For Heroes" gained momentum on the UK charts". MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide



A ver: Can't Stand Me Now (vídeo)

An ending fitting for the start
You twisted and tore our love apart
Your light fingers through the dark
Shattered the lamp into darkness, they cast us all
No, you've got it the wrong way round
You shut me up, and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy, kicked out at the world
The world kicked back a lot fucking harder now

If you wanna try
If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh oh oh

I know you lie
I know you lie
But I'm still in love with you
Uh oh oh

You can't take me anywhere, I take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go

No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now

Have we enough to keep it together
Or do we just keep on pretending
And hope our luck is never ending, no

Try to pull the world, I wasn't feeling too clever
...

If you wanna try
If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh oh oh

I know you lie
All you do is make me cry
All those words that ain't true

You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go

No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
No, you can't stand me now, no you can't stand me now
