Pete Doherty

There was a, there was a really interesting scene in the early noughties that actually had, you know, people like Amy Winehouse and, you know, I could probably list some others if I think about it.

Pete Doherty and all the lot.

Yeah, all that lot.

It was everybody was sort of hanging out in the same sort of places, and it was really, really fun.

Yeah, for the most part, that's it.

It's amazing because we obviously had a ton of coverage of the Packers game from our Packers news guys, Dominic Yates, Ryan Wood, Tom Silverstein, Pete Doherty.

And then I pulled out one detail.

I pulled out that Jaden Reed had tweeted, you know, just like something very general, like, I'm doing much better.

And it's like, people think it's cool.

As I said, you know, A good friend of mine and someone who I've been very lucky, again, to have been on tour with, Pete Doherty, you know, a lot of people know him more because of his drinking alcohol...

He's out drinking drugs abuse rather than what a fantastic singer he is.

You know, I'd have him up there with the likes of your Wellers, your Lennon, your McCartney.

Who was your...

She was dating Pete Doherty.

Oh, the guy from the Libertines? James Russell Brand.

Oh, nice.

It was brave.

Last year at the Edinburgh Festival, I turned a corner and I saw Pete Doherty standing outside of a music venue where he was performing later.

The Belanger.

He's very tall.

... "Tony, what happens here?" And there was definitely sort of times with, with that band where that, that came in, where you-

Yeah, so were there crises with, say, Pete Doherty, whereby you all had to sit around the table and go, "What are we gonna do about this?" So give us an example of that.

I, I think the biggest thing I could say about that is obviously the, The Libertines, they, they, they burned quickly, and they faded.

You know, it was, uh, it was, it was kind of come and gone very quickly.

Right

...

but when I, I dragged him around for a lot of these interviews and I, I was like introducing him to, like, Pete Doherty and, and Carl Barât, and I was like, "You know, they're, they were The Libertines," and he's like, "Who?" He ...

The, the, they don't know who The Libertines are, but they seem to know, young people seem to know who the Arctic Monkeys are.

see the Libertines.

Shout out to Carl Barat and Pete Doherty.

We love the Libertines.

And then I did smoke a cig outside in the shack in a tundra in Iceland.
