[skatertumen]

[NucularTheArtist]

@skatertumen he said that instead of being a group of wild guys playing music (the way they started out) they were a group of guys pretending to be wild, they were caricatures of their former selves.

[skatertumen]

@NucularTheArtist Oh thanks you really thanks you guy

Believe it or not - he was actually long sober by here. If anything he just sounds like an elder, lecturing. He was a bit looser when he drank.

[johtull]

Are you listening Pete Doherty?

[bohicass]

are you really comparing that jackass, doherty, to westerberg????

[johtull]

comparing? huh? the character wasterberg created and the character doherty is currently creating---yeah. They both have/had raging addiction issues that draw attention away from their talent. If you wanna slurp on paul and say doherty doesn't compare...okay - go ahead. Who cares - that was never the point.

[21stCenturyNimrod]

@johtull I agree on both points;

They both had demons, yeah.

But no one could ever EVER compare them talent wise.

Ever.

@bohicass Pete Doherty isn't a jackass, he's a Libertine

[BillyDreamer2]

Nail on the head. Is it me or does he seem wasted and he explains why they grew to be a character (sp? I'm wasted :)) of what they were when they were wasted? Love The Mats!
