Doherty Says Barat Gets the Best Crack, Metallica Wish You Happy Holidays…In Danish and More

12/19/06, 2:52 pm EST

Carl Pete

  • There are many things to love about Carl Barat: His songwriting talent, the impossibly cool boots he wears, his admirable unwillingness to shit-talk a certain drug-doing, model-banging, train wreck of a former bandmate. Pete, on the other hand, does not return the favor (and his boots aren’t nearly as cool). Doherty has reportedly said that the only thing he misses about Barat is the great crack he used to score for Pete, and that Barat’s new band, Dirty Pretty Things, suck, especially when compared to Doherty’s Babyshambles. “We really got it. All he’s got is the fact that he was in the best band and now he’s in the worst band. And he needs to sort that out,” Doherty reportedly sniffed.
  • We planned on being highly amused by these for-fan-club-only, happy holidays-wishing videos from Metallica (part 1, part 2). But they are so long we couldn’t deal after a while. Still, it is really funny to hear Lars wishing everybody “Happy holidays” and “Happy new year” in Danish. [via Blabbermouth]
  • The NME is reporting that Bright Eyes will release their new album Cassadaga on April 9. We don’t know what “Cassadaga” refers to, but Google tells us it is the name of a town in Florida famous for its mediums, so that sounds promising.
  • Gwen Stefani feels nursing gives her “superhuman powers,” longs for second child, (better: second record).
  • Yoko Ono’s insane long-time driver Koral Karsan — a Turkish immigrant who decided to blackmail and physically threaten Ono on the recent anniversary of John Lennon’s death – has posted bail, but is being detained because immigration officials are investigating his status. This dude is so getting shipped home to Turkey.

LARS ULRICH, Sådan gamle Hellerup-knægt. Du har sgu styr på dit lort, selvom du engang i mellem laver kage i den. Men du er sgu alt i alt god nok, din lille lort.

Amerikanerne her på Rolling Stone fatter ik’ en hvede. Hvor for skriver de ikke om moi Caprice? Eller Placenta?

lol. Doherty is such a bitch. He fucked it up big time with baby shambles debut and their new EP. He is indeed in the worst band right now. Leave Barat alone, Dirty Pretty Things are actually pretty good.

Calling an as-yet-unmade Ringo Starr documentary “boring” (and in the HEADLINE of the story!) is rude, unnecessary and disrespectful to Ringo. And makes RS look really bad.
This is RINGO you’re talking about – show some respect for gods sake.
Is Elizabeth Goodman the best RS can do?

Boner | 12/19/2006, 4:16 pm EST

Just die already Pete.

MrTambourineman | 12/19/2006, 5:10 pm EST

I want to coin a new phrase, “to pull an Elizabeth Goodman” – to talk trash about things you know nothing about and/or to present tabloid news as direly important.

metalkills | 12/19/2006, 6:13 pm EST

anonymous,

what the fuck are you talking about with ringo, i see that mentioned nowhere in this article

Tim | 12/19/2006, 6:20 pm EST

Maybe being a rock star isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Lars Ulrich looks like he might lead the most boring life on the planet. My Aunt Tillie is more entertaining on video than he is. I really feel sorry for the bass player, having to act like he’s entertained.

dicky | 12/19/2006, 7:11 pm EST

Mumz the Word is a sick band I found on myspace. Variety, lyrics, and soul in every song. Check it.

the alex rubin project is incredible, his song dorothy is really beautifull

RedSG | 12/19/2006, 10:14 pm EST

Could somebody please explain Rolling Stone’s fascination with Pete Doherty? I never hear about him anywhere else, and I’ve never heard anything about his music, only his legal troubles, so he can’t be that great.

billbones | 12/19/2006, 10:31 pm EST

doherty also said later in that interview that barat is “still my kid.” goodman distorts the truth like she was foz news

viello | 12/20/2006, 1:07 am EST

Rolling Stone, please shut up about Pete Doherty. He is famous for being a drug addict, that’s all. There are a lot of drug addicts that you don’t talk about. So, why single him out? Let him die in obscurity, since apparently that’s what he wants – to die I mean. Being addicted to drugs is nothing extraordinary. Being a wannabe music star who’s addicted to drugs is even less so. Find someone interesting to spend your time on.

Onthestar | 12/20/2006, 2:07 am EST

God, I loved the Libertines but Doherty is just totally alienating their fanbase.

Dirty Pretty Things are fantastic and Carl Barat is an icon for all the right reasons. I’m not one for comparisons but I agree with the person who said he must be joking by saying Babyshambles are better. DIA is cringeworthy.

Oola | 12/20/2006, 3:22 am EST

This is all good, but what’s the news on SHANNON Doherty?

Sam | 12/20/2006, 4:49 am EST

first off, i think babyshambles and dirty pretty things both put out good records. second, this doesnt really sound like something doherty would say…it might be one of the hundred things that has been made up by the press…get off doherty’s back…he makes some of the best music of this generation

Amanda | 12/20/2006, 6:30 am EST

What’s the point of talking about Pete Doherty? He’s just a drunk-off-his-ass bastard. Let’s just concentrate on Babyshambles man!

Jake Burns | 12/20/2006, 8:45 am EST

Babyshambles better than Dirty Pretty Things? Me thinks not.

Helen | 12/20/2006, 9:45 am EST

Pete you’re wrong Dirty Pretty Things are great. Sort your head out you derranged crackhead

Mary Lee | 12/20/2006, 12:05 pm EST

Without a doubt David Campbell and Shovelhead Rag. Incredible sound and control. He’s better than a lot of top recording artists out there.

MADFERIT | 12/20/2006, 1:14 pm EST

but RAP IS SO REAL…. LIFE IS REALLY ALL ABOUT caddilacs and rims and gold chains….. keep it gangsta hahhahhahhaa!

Skyline | 12/20/2006, 2:17 pm EST

How much is Pete paying you to give him press coverage about his coke habit? Seriously, Elizabeth, get a clue. You’re the worst.

DaveBergreen | 12/22/2006, 2:01 pm EST

Archives Of (formerly known as Curtis and the Corkscrew Band). I don’t have any clever remarks and can read or write that well, so I’ll just leave it up to you to trust your ears. Word.

NaS | 12/23/2006, 10:49 am EST

In my opinion, none other band deserved thic chance xcept POP SHUVIT!! pop shuvit defines the word NEW ERA in music industry. any objection? any thoughts? just spend a minute or more to listen to their tracks n prove me wrong!!

No way Doherty is famous for the libs and Kate Moss, the fact that he is addicted to hard drugs just makes it easier for tabloids and Rolling Stone to post alleged quotes like “Doherty has reportedly said that the only thing he misses about Barat is the great crack he used to score for Pete”
Ya’s can fuk off if yas think carls music is better, they were great together but Pete is by far the more talented lyricist. Long live Pete Doherty, whos got the crack huh?
