Pete Doherty - Killamangiro (Acoustic - Shaking & Withdrawn) HQ

Killamangiro (or Kill a man for his giro) is a Babyshambles track that features as track #7 on their debut album, Down in Albion, with the writing credit going to Doherty. This track was also released as a single in November 2004. Although officially released by Babyshambles, Killamangiro was first heard in May 2003 when it was recorded by The Libertines for their Babyshambles sessions, in America. When Peter Doherty's "My Music" folder was leaked onto the Internet, some early versions of Killamangiro were heard for the first time.

The song itself features an unusual opening beat from ex-Babyshambles drummer Gemma Clarke and is also recognised for guitarist Patrick Walden's "messy" style of play and frontman Peter Doherty's distinctive vocals. It is a regular feature of live setlists by Babyshambles and has gone on to be one of their most popular and well known songs, often requested by fans.

Just goes to show that Peter Doherty does not need any high tech anyyyything to make a song sound good. To me, this is as good as any version I've ever heard...if not even more cool. The difference between someone who is born with talent versus someone who is taught to entertain...
