He can't play guitar very well, and is a terrible singer. To me, that says talentless. His songwriting is a matter of opinion, mine is he's poor at that too. The hype began long before he was dating Moss. The NME "Icon Of A Generation" nonsense was way before any of that. If you think people will be discovering the Libertines in 10, 20 or 50 years time on a big scale then you need a wee lie down. They will be long forgotton soon enough as well.

They will be long forgotton soon enough as well. fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion. to say he can't play guitar very well is pretty unfair and i think he has an excellent, quite unique, voice. i think you are basing your opinion on the fact that you dont like him because he's a permanent fixture on the front of the star/mirror/sun etc i suppose we will have to wait to see if people are still discovering the libertines in the decades to come but you can certainly point to a fair few bands who have came out as a result of the libertines in the last few years. right now i'm listening to one of those spin offs - larriken love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Bulletproof Heart - The Silencers, from 'Dance to the Holy Man' album. Ain't heard that in ages. Fúckin' magic as well. Listening to When It Falls by Zero 7. After that a bit of Blue Nile, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
