i sat next to him in a belfast dressing room and asked why he never played sister sister in his libertine days or after. he asked me how it went and 5 seconds later the 2 of us were singing it together. pretty much the highlight of that decade

Sister sister, as in the TV show theme? 😂

[@mrgooner491]

@@mr.anonymous5501 nah, it was a song on one of there first demos. It was called legs 11. But I'm sure he would have been happy enough to sing that with me had it came up too

[@aoibh4520]

@@mrgooner491 He's like a human jukebox man.. And I love the fact he's never scared to try a new tune.. In fact I think that's what drives him always striving for something yet undiscovered.. Its fantastic to see him doing so well now, the new album is great too.. Its great that he's able to write clean.. Because I know that worried him. Love "legs 11" and "breck road lover" is also brilliant. Really enjoyed your story man, slainte

Amazing clip

The guy gave me his harmonica n my mate his hat. Top bloke, destroyed by the media

[@SantiagoJRodriguez1]

I met him in Buenos Aires Argentina and he take me and some friends with him to another city to see him play because i have no money. They get us food, pillows and blankets to sleep on the road and they shared with us a lot of their time and effort. Also the company that bring him to Argentina doesn't want us in the van because we didn't have insurance for the travel and Peter locked himself in the hotel room saying that until they don't get us in the van he was not going anywhere. Brilliant guy and probably the best day of my life

[@jp8649]

I'm gonna go full armchair on this once, but I've noticed that a LOT of addicts have those moments. Where they seem almost childlike. I think a lot of people like to pretend addiction is a morality issue, but in reality, it's just a side effect of trauma and/or mental health issues. Particularly, childhood trauma, abuse, dysregulation in the home, etc. Doing drugs, or any addiction really be it an eating disorder or gambling, they are all just the self-soothing of the child within themselves and a way to break from their current state of being and self-hatred. Generally just have not been given the tools necessary to be emotionally productive adult.

[@thofabyq]

you can really see how sad he is that the interviewer blew the kind of intimacy and his honesty at around 3:44 when he tells the kid he should stay away from crack. He seems to really enjoy the talk until the kid takes advantage of him being just honestly caring.

They are two separate people who both happen to have been drug addicts.

@@darast.angelo261 regardless of what you know about either of them, you’ve still created a glorified(ish) narrative about people who (I’m presuming) you’ve never had a personal relationship with, based on factors that include drug addiction. Aside from having been in rock bands and being drug addicts they are/were very different people with individual lives and it seems wrong to me to water them down into just having been drug addicts in rock bands. I’m sure there are other things they have in common but again that’s not a fair representation of them as individuals. I’m not entirely sure how to put it but I hope you get what I’m driving at.

what is the documentary called with the journalist befriends him then in Pete's eyes betrays him so Pete allegedly physically hits him. Think it was channel 4 and it was a big spectacle at the time and in all the papers. Think the journalist had some personal issues of his own and had obviously never had real friends and so for 1st time felt accepted.

miloesalazar not necesareley. U sweat just as much when under the influence of Crack n Smak.

[@1388Anthony1]

dean luff ok let me explain something to you. When you smoke crack which i have unfortunately done you dont really get "high". You get a super intense high then it goes away and you want more. Its not like tooting a line, so "being on crack" is not really possible unless you are taking constant blasts. Heroin made me sweat a little, yeah a blast of crack will too. I dont know you from Adam but i when hate people babble on about things they dont know, Drugs are not cool by any means but i dont talk about cars because i dont know about cars.
