Doherty Acting Up In Press Conference

The only list where it is ranked highly was NME if I remember correctly? The reason they are so big is down to the media, and Pete being a Dick. When the media moves on and all that uis left is his music I think people will see it for what it is, quite catchy, but nothing all that special or new.

First of all, Peter met Kate after the Libs split... So I think it's highly irrelevant.

When the Libertines were together, they had one of the most loyal and dedicated fanbases I've ever known, they had a connection with the fans like no other band. They were special, not your average Franz Ferdinand, or whatever.

People believed in them enough to put up with the drugs, no shows, bust ups etc. it was about the music, and it still is. All I'm gonna say is, just wait til Reading and Leeds, you'll all see...

In any other time period The Libertines would be forgotton about, but being around at a time where British guitar music lacking behind our American counterparts means that they will be remebered whether fondly or not.

Of course the Libertines will be remembered. As said above, they were hugely influential. I grew up listening to Patti Smith, the Velvet Underground & the Stooges. During the 80s / early 90s I was listening to the Pogues, the Bad Seeds & Jane's Addiction. I'd pretty much given up on music by the mid 90s and the Libertines were the band that got me listening to it again. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be going to Reading or Leeds if they weren't playing.
