nme.comPete Doherty plays pub gig in front of former Libertines bandmate
Pete Doherty
Babyshambles man is also joined onstage by Wolfman
Pete Doherty previewed his forthcoming solo album by playing a tiny acoustic gig at the Camden Monarch pub last night (November 6).
- Nov 7, 2008
Doherty came onstage shortly after 10pm (GMT) and, wearing his traditional suit, hat and necklaces, launched straight into unreleased song 'The Last Of The English Roses'.
The song first appeared online in 2005 as a demo, but the version Doherty played at the Monarch was noticeably different, with new lyrics and a different song structure.
Former drummer Paul 'Mr Razzcocks' Dufour was also at the gig, hoping to meet with Doherty for the first time in five years.
"I'd have been happy to get onstage and play a couple of songs with him," the drummer told NME.COM afterwards. "But I couldn't get through the crowd."
Razzcocks revealed that he wanted to meet with Doherty to talk about releasing material The Libertines recorded before signing to Rough Trade in 2001.
However, Doherty left the Monarch unaware that his former bandmate was present.
After playing for just over an hour, Doherty was informed by venue staff that he had to stop because of the Monarch's curfew.
Midway through 'Time For Heroes', the clearly disgruntled singer took off his guitar and threw it into the crowd before running offstage.
Earlier, he had been joined by friend and collaborator Wolfman. The pair performed their 2004 single 'For Lovers' and the unreleased 'Broken Love Song' together.
Doherty also previewed a brand new, unnamed song at the gig.
The song recalled The Velvet Underground's 'Who Loves The Sun' and seemed to be about Doherty's time in The Libertines, with lyrics including "so long ago, when we hit the road".

'The Last Of The English Roses'

ALEX JAMES: ’I'D BE SURPRISED IF AMY WINEHOUSE LIVES BEYOND 2010’
Alex James expressed his opinion to The Mirror that he would be "surprised" if Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty were to live beyond 2010.
Alex said both musicians would need the help of people around them.
"I'd be surprised if Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse both live to see the decade out. You know, it's not funny,"
"I've been in situations where my best friends have been killing themselves [with drugs] and they won't listen."
Carrying on, he went on to say: "At least there's an infrastructure for getting better now. If that had existed in Elvis's day then maybe he'd still be alive. It is scary."
