We’d always fall out quite a lot. It was usually sort of - bickery stuff. Yeah,...
– Carl Barât, There Are No Innocent Bystanders, on his tempestuous relationship with Peter.
oh you silly silly boys in the band stop making me do the weeping and sobbing and throwing things on the floor in agony thing.

Peter and Carl about "Can't Stand Me Now"
Peter: Sometimes you just realise you're singing some of the saddest things you'll ever be able to sing, you strive for so hard, using a lyric like a knife, y'know what I mean? It's already come out of your heart, and now you're digging it into someone elses.
Carl: If you're not going to put truth in song, then what's the point anyway? What are you going to put in there? It was a very awkward song to sing. I remember once Pete thought I looked at him funny during that song and he put down his guitar - well, he nearly threw down his guitar - kicked an amp over and then ran off down the high street, out the back door.

There are loads of gay erotic fantasy stories about you and Pete being lovers on the internet, does that bother you?
C: I completely advocate creative thought, and if people want to make up stories, I am flattered to be involved. I don't mind it at all really. I'd rather people did creative things than did nothing or negative things or talking shit in forums.
D: I would be quite flattered I think.
C: Didz is hoping someone might very well do it for him as well. You just need to work out which band member you'd like to be with. (laughs) Even if it's not sexual, I wish there was more things to advocate creative writing.
D: Stories like ‘Carl Slays Dragon'.
C: That's like a personal fantasy - me slaying a dragon in a particularly tight suit of armour.
D: Chain mail really…
C: Who else have they written stories about?
Morrissey and Marr and the guys from Suede…
D: Well, that's an obvious one, that's like saying the guys from Right Said Fred.

Then Carl’s talking-head takes the frame and he says that his social life...
– Didz Hammond, reviewing There Are No Innocent Bystanders for DiS. He’s a treasure.
“But it’s always there a little bit. Y’know, that I’m not Peter Doherty. And it’s my fault that I am not. And certain people have the right to resent me for that err… shortcoming.”

NME: So there is a future for The Libertines?
Pete Doherty: “Yeah. A future where we get together and make really good music. We’ve never not been a band. I really feel like it’s easier being in his company now than it was in our heyday. I hate to say it, but it’s true - we’ve kinda grown up. Maybe it’s a negative thing that there isn’t that tension. But I don’t think it is....

I witnessed Pete Doherty order cheese on toast.
rockandrolltedium:
I was at a ‘cheese on toast’ food stand at Glastonbury in 2007, when Pete Doherty & Kate Moss walked up and ordered some ‘cheese on’ for Pete. When his dish was ready, the vendor asked if he would like it cut in half. Apparently Pete does not field this type of question, as his minder leaned forward between Pete and myself and declared “No. Pete doesn’t have his toast...

I stole nuts from The Dirty Pretty Things
rockandrolltedium:
I once worked in a student union bar that hosted a free Dirty Pretty Things gig. After the show, I went into their dressing room (which was just a box room behind the DJ booth) to clean up. They’d left their rider completely untouched apart from a bottle of Jack Daniels. There was also a pint of piss in the corner.
I made off with a slice of pizza, a dozen cans of Diet Coke...

rockandrolltedium:
I was hanging around with a band who were supporting The Libertines at a gig, before the gig we went to a pub to drink and play cards.
But no-one had any cards.

rockandrolltedium:
On my way home after work in Camden, I was stopped in the street by Pete Doherty.
Pete asked me, “Do you know the way…” then stopped, tugged my hoodie down over my face, and was carried off by his friends as he started singing, “Do you know the way to San Jose…”.
I didn’t.
