here i am a mother of four in my early 50's and find his music f'n unbelievable. what i would give to have him come to the states and sing me to my grave. thank you Pete. don't waste away my man. you are so precious. thank you for the great lyrics, music and talent. we love u here in Southern California...
what a gorgeous song, such beautiful chords and stunning melody. I prefer this version to the recorded one. He has so much innocence about him in this video. Like a kid, in his room, just with his guitar, running away from the adult world. Perfect.
That song...and hearing him sing it.... Poetry in motion. He could deliver any message he wanted and have people LISTEN to it. He's just captivating. I'll guarantee he changed some peoples minds seeing that performance - the ones who only read the bunk in the rag mags about him. Love how Jonathan Ross 'gets' him and really seems to like the music and Peter. Peter is so much fun to listen to when he doesn't have his guard up like most interviewers do to him. Nice.
i was obsessed with him for so long then kind of went off him but can never slag him. rewatch things like this and it makes me realise ill always think hes great! seems really clean here, hope its still the same now
That song is just beautiful. Similar to much of his legacy to date that he pens such sadness & pain and wraps it in a beautiful melody. Then all the girls sing along -- having sooo much fun doig it. The irony is just so surreal to me. I do await the new album with great anticipation.
we dont call him a genius coz he owns a guitar and he has a drug problem, its because he writes wonderful tunes, and wonderful poetry and lyrics, he has a real talent, and we just respect that.
The chorus reminds me of 'Bang bang you're dead' by Dirty Pretty Things- Doherty and Barat have such amazing creative minds, and when they're together it's magic! Need Libertines back.
he's got what Jimmy Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Amy Wine house have all got or had a massive drug habit, but on any given day the above are sheer brilliants in what they do, turn on magic with out trying...
Who sets good examples on tv ? He is good at what he does, regardless of anything else, even though I am not a fan. Parents should be there for good examples, when did musicians become so bloody important ?
that musicians should be good rolemodels has allways and will allways be one of the weakest arguments ever. people that become artists are usually allways more or less troubled people, because for happy people theres often not even a reason why you would become an artist. and to expect of these artists to be well behaved, while being troubled is the thing that got them in this position in the first place is just rediciolous. i mean all a person an do is be himself...and if that person and the way this person is shouldnt be in the public or the media, than way dont people make the tv channels that get them onto their show or the muisic labels that make their music famour responisble for it?
GREAT, i think thats a brilliant song, people go with stereotypes and Peter fell under that terrible majority, but his desire to play music and make music by far overpowers any drug and he has shown that he isn't held back. Can't wait till Reading and Leeds, I'm a class A drug user and i have a succesfull career. Don't judge by the majority judge by the individual!!!
this is briliant, anyone who doubts pete's ability is a fool it blatnely obcious that he is talented and indeed had a future! dont try bring people down wen they're better than u guys!
Bert jansch will be on the forthcoming album, straight from the source :o Music trivia: Bert Jansch was the person who wrote, or made a version of an old folksong called "Blackwater side", Led Zeppelin made a cover of it that's called "Black mountainside".
i love it when songs "rip off" a part of another song or poem, or just make an allusion to one. like in "when th sun goes down", by the arctic monkeys, alex says: "and he told roxanne to ut on her red light..." pete does that really well. what's the problem with that? besides, in this song he does say something of another song: "you said too much, you've been to unkind". that's obviously a reference to "boys don't cry". god, i used a hell of a lot of quotes in this comment, didn't i? haha
@wfgj youre so right. all the newspapers badmouthing about peter nowasays will abruptly change their minds and praise him. and he'll surely be seen as a great genius later. right now i already see him as one. thats so unfair!
I wish the press wouldn't shun Pete so much. But I bet they won't warm to him until it's too late (ie - Michael Jackson). Beautiful performance, perfect.
musicians have taken drugs for years, the only difference is cameras are always following them these days. We pick up the papers and read it so we're fueling the fire. if the papers followed your average junkie in London you'd see much much worse than what he gets up to. The guy is a genius, end of, he's a poet and a very good one.
is there anybody who can write what they say? i know it takes time but i would love to know what they are talking about and sometimes it's easy hard to understand...
I guess he just likes to talk about his music, because he knows that everyone's just talking about drugs and his relationship to Kate and all that stuff. I wouldn't be very enthusiastic as well if I was in his shoes.
what i can't stand is people judging hi for drugs and than saying they like The Doors and every other band in the 60's and 70's who were off there heads on acid,cocaine etc
Fair enough if you like him but dont say everyone with a grasp of musical talent should too.I like all kinds of music, from The Beatles through to T-Rex, ACDC, Led Zep, Nirvana, and loads of other stuff.I also have played and written music for years and have to say I find his lyrics and music somewhat simple and like I have said previously - nobody knows it better than he does. Below average performer with above average media exposure. Sorry if I offend I am entitled to my view,like you are
Well, usually the reason we find songs so good is because we can relate to them or they impress us, and I doubt all of us can relate to 'tortured souls' and it doesnt apply to every good piece of brilliant art. Think about the Mona Lisa, i doubt Da Vinci was cutting himself as he drew it.
i agree. cause even though it sucks we also wouldn't have the babyshambles or the dirty pretty things. which are both excellent in my opinion. (babyshambles are better though) anyways. i absolutely love pete.
To everyone being rude out there, everyone has the right to express their opinion you know, it is a fact pete doherty has become an idol since his lifestyle has been "discovered". It is a tragedy but also a fact, doing drugs and "being bad" is cool nowadays... I think his music is really good though
People who say they hate a musician because they take drugs are just stupid.. fair enough if you dont like the music but you cant use drugs as an excuse to automatically reject everything the musician does because of drugs.. i mean most musicians take or have taken drugs its just stupid if you think they havent yeah they are musicians who dont take drugs but its impossible to hate EVERY musician who takes drugs
He is like Pete Townshend in his lyrcal styles. Both write in a very poetic manner, and the subject matter they come up with often comes from their own musings on their shortcomings and failings. For a case in point, compare "UnBilotitled" to "How Many Friends?" or "They're All In Love" by The Who. And fuck indie and every other "classification." I just like music. Anyway, I don't speak the "Queen's English." I just like to be literate.
Johnathan Ross seems to genuinely like Doherty, he's absolutely hilarious sometimes as well.
Doherty is beautiful as well
I believe that it would be very difficult to not love him after watching this.. Peter's music and Pete himself are just beautiful
i love how much johnathan ross clearly admires him as a songwriter. i really hope he can stay clean, he's such a genius. grace/wastelands is brilliant
This aged well 😊
Indeed, he's healthy as anything and still releasing fantastic music..
He is just beautiful... The voice...everything
i know, i wasn't a big fan off Pete Doherty but this performance is breath takeing, well talented.. and very much turned me in to a fan.
There's something about him when he sings that makes me love his soul.
whenever he plays that song it makes me wanna cry, fuck me what a beautiful person and soul
here i am a mother of four in my early 50's and find his music f'n unbelievable. what i would give to have him come to the states and sing me to my grave. thank you Pete. don't waste away my man. you are so precious. thank you for the great lyrics, music and talent. we love u here in Southern California...

Loved him since I was a child and actually met the guy not long ago. He smelt fantastic
Ha ha I love him too...what did he smell like 🙂
Back then probably heroin and despair. These days cheese and wine.
Ahhhhh I love that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
How can you not love this guy?! He's uhmaaaaaaazing!
i was obsessed with him for so long then kind of went off him but can never slag him. rewatch things like this and it makes me realise ill always think hes great! seems really clean here, hope its still the same now
He's a poet. It's amazing what he writes.
the sweetest most poetic man i have the honour of calling my friend
2007 Peter is my favorite...
That song is just beautiful. Similar to much of his legacy to date that he pens such sadness & pain and wraps it in a beautiful melody. Then all the girls sing along -- having sooo much fun doig it. The irony is just so surreal to me. I do await the new album with great anticipation.
slating a true talent and artist's thats the world we live in today people
Ahhh Pete ! Still love you !
i have loved pete ever since i saw him perform this song and do this interview. what a beautiful person inside and out
listening to Pete doherty is quite overwhelming sadness a talented musian and poet the last of the british poets
god he looks sooo young here
Peter looks so beautiful in this interview and is so so sweet
we dont call him a genius coz he owns a guitar and he has a drug problem, its because he writes wonderful tunes, and wonderful poetry and lyrics, he has a real talent, and we just respect that.
:o me too, i will be there, so excited, hope he performs this song, i absolutley love!
it's so sad because when he's playing he's beautiful and amazingly fascinating. and then in the interview you see how stoned he is....
I loved this song. Very calm and enjoyable. And he looked healthy. I hope he's doing well still.
What a stunning song
The chorus reminds me of 'Bang bang you're dead' by Dirty Pretty Things- Doherty and Barat have such amazing creative minds, and when they're together it's magic! Need Libertines back.
actual love for peter. this is one of my favourites shambles songs
he's got what Jimmy Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Amy Wine house have all got or had a massive drug habit, but on any given day the above are sheer brilliants in what they do, turn on magic with out trying...

beautiful song. beautiful mind pete has too. genius
This should replace the album version
100%
He's a fuckin' poet. Thanks Peter.
When the silence is so that you can hear a pin drop, you know you're witnessing something special.
I find him quite lovely. (:
The Lost Art of Murder. Its the last track on the Babyshambles album, Shotters Nation. I really recommend that album
hes a brilliant writer. Doesn't matter that he's a junkie, if he continues writing songs like that then hes always gonna be an awesome musician
very underrated by millions....sweet...
jonathon ross tells it at the start. The lost art of murder. you can find it on babyshamble's second album, shotter's nation.
GREAT, i think thats a brilliant song, people go with stereotypes and Peter fell under that terrible majority, but his desire to play music and make music by far overpowers any drug and he has shown that he isn't held back. Can't wait till Reading and Leeds, I'm a class A drug user and i have a succesfull career. Don't judge by the majority judge by the individual!!!
@MACSEAIN the song is called "The Lost Art of Murder" by Babyshambles.
he's amazing. i love him!! :] [xXx]
Great song. One of the few in which he didn't rip off another song or poem.
it's beautiful.
hero.legend.
just beautiful
He's perfect here.Simply perfect :)
this is briliant, anyone who doubts pete's ability is a fool it blatnely obcious that he is talented and indeed had a future! dont try bring people down wen they're better than u guys!

how come he never laughs?
he's such a nice guy..
@TheTobyMaestro I think it's a Gibson ES-125. Not that I figured it out for myself, just what I've seen other people write =)
i really do love pete.
he has amazing talent.
Listen to that applause!! Wow.
I have this on my ipod
@wfgj youre so right. all the newspapers badmouthing about peter nowasays will abruptly change their minds and praise him. and he'll surely be seen as a great genius later. right now i already see him as one.
thats so unfair!
Hes actually so sweet. And very shy actually
I wish the press wouldn't shun Pete so much. But I bet they won't warm to him until it's too late (ie - Michael Jackson). Beautiful performance, perfect.
musicians have taken drugs for years, the only difference is cameras are always following them these days. We pick up the papers and read it so we're fueling the fire. if the papers followed your average junkie in London you'd see much much worse than what he gets up to.
The guy is a genius, end of, he's a poet and a very good one.
because it's pretty new. i think he made it in august or september 07.
he's so gorgeous
Nice guitar
i strongly believe that when hes gone people will realise his genius. i just hope they do before its too late. 20th december cant wait :)
he is the type of person i just want to give a big hug too :)
love him and his smile so much ;)
is there anybody who can write what they say? i know it takes time but i would love to know what they are talking about and sometimes it's easy hard to understand...
he's amazing fuck anyone who says otherwise, everyones entitled to an opinion all be it a wrong one.
Such a talented guy!
i usually don't like the guy
but the stuff he comes out with is amazing
"don't worry, i'm not grooming you!" hahhah
If the Libs were reformed you wouldn't really get songs like this one...
what is the name of this song?
whats the song called that he sings?
whatever his demons he is still a talented singer/songwriter and that is what should be focused on.
well that was very deep...brought a tear to my eye. fool
I guess he just likes to talk about his music, because he knows that everyone's just talking about drugs and his relationship to Kate and all that stuff. I wouldn't be very enthusiastic as well if I was in his shoes.
No drug is 'controllable', especially not the kind Peters into. But, yeh. I see where you're coming from. He's a great man, people forget that.
what i can't stand is people judging hi for drugs and than saying they like The Doors and every other band in the 60's and 70's who were off there heads on acid,cocaine etc
What's this song called?
Because this is the way his name is supposed to be pronounced.
i actually love this man. he's fucking perfect.
Love Pete.... Last proper rock star.
i was gonna ask the same thing
what guitar is that?
Fair enough if you like him but dont say everyone with a grasp of musical talent should too.I like all kinds of music, from The Beatles through to T-Rex, ACDC, Led Zep, Nirvana, and loads of other stuff.I also have played and written music for years and have to say I find his lyrics and music somewhat simple and like I have said previously - nobody knows it better than he does.
Below average performer with above average media exposure. Sorry if I offend I am entitled to my view,like you are
Well, usually the reason we find songs so good is because we can relate to them or they impress us, and I doubt all of us can relate to 'tortured souls' and it doesnt apply to every good piece of brilliant art. Think about the Mona Lisa, i doubt Da Vinci was cutting himself as he drew it.
i agree.
cause even though it sucks we also wouldn't have the babyshambles or the dirty pretty things. which are both excellent in my opinion. (babyshambles are better though) anyways. i absolutely love pete.
Thats a pretty cool guitar
When was this on TV?
To everyone being rude out there, everyone has the right to express their opinion you know, it is a fact pete doherty has become an idol since his lifestyle has been "discovered". It is a tragedy but also a fact, doing drugs and "being bad" is cool nowadays... I think his music is really good though
i love him so much
People who say they hate a musician because they take drugs are just stupid.. fair enough if you dont like the music but you cant use drugs as an excuse to automatically reject everything the musician does because of drugs.. i mean most musicians take or have taken drugs its just stupid if you think they havent yeah they are musicians who dont take drugs but its impossible to hate EVERY musician who takes drugs
Is Doherty using a thin line ES 125? or the original one i cant tell?
what book is that?
wat does that have to do with how great the song is, just saying
is he clean here he is right?and is he now? fucking hope so-he is alot better when he is like this
where?
What is the song called?
He is like Pete Townshend in his lyrcal styles. Both write in a very poetic manner, and the subject matter they come up with often comes from their own musings on their shortcomings and failings. For a case in point, compare "UnBilotitled" to "How Many Friends?" or "They're All In Love" by The Who.
And fuck indie and every other "classification."
I just like music.
Anyway, I don't speak the "Queen's English." I just like to be literate.
