Pete Doherty: Writing, Fame, Addiction, The Libertines + Live Tunes | The Michael Anthony Show

FOLLOW THE MICHAEL ANTHONY SHOW ON SPOTIFY FOR GREAT MUSIC PODCASTS ➡️ ➡️ open.spotify.c...
One of the most fascinating individuals in music throughout the past two decades, The Michael Anthony Show is honoured to sit down with the iconic songwriter, Pete Doherty, for Episode 159. A key cultural figure of the 2000's, The Libertines frontman is both honest and insightful throughout a raw conversation that covers a wide variety of topics including his childhood, his reasons for getting in to music, struggles with addiction, Amy Winehouse, his friendship and partnership with Carl Barat, song creation and much more.
Doherty's time in jail is discussed, as he also touches on the concepts of love and media intrusion. We also had the privilege of Pete performing live on the show, with the Babyshambles founder playing beautiful renditions of both 'Sheepskin Tearaway' and 'What Became of the Likely Lads'. A must listen to chat with one of the great entertainers.

Best Podcast I've heard!

Peter has been an extremely influential part of my life (for better or worse) for the last 20 years, so I've heard just about every interview, chat show, fan encounter, etc. he's had in that time and THIS IS THE BEST ❤ Brilliant conversation and that version of Sheepskin Tearaway was absolutely beautiful!!

[@BA-vv4jy]

Ditto

[@user-op4uo1xr4t]

Petes songs have held me when no one else was there , for that I will be forever grateful x

[@ChrisHamilton-yd9ou]

Just brilliant, such a unique conversation.

I’ve been a Pete Doherty fan since I saw the libertines supporting the pistols at Crystal Palace (I was just too young to see them before they split up) and have seen him numerous times since with babyshambles and solo etc and I think this was the best interview I’ve heard from him. He was very unguarded and as himself, not in character. But there were a couple of moments when he started to expand on things I’ve always wanted to know about when the interviewers interjected with another question on a different subject and he had to change direction. I loved that babyshambles tour just after he’d left the libertines best and a warm up show at the garage just after one of his prison terms then the night after, playing Brixton academy. Shambles didn’t even have an album out yet but it sold out easily. Truly great songwriter as is evident in 20 odd years of consistently great music

that's crazy asking if heroin is fun to a recovering longtime addict lol - great interview

[@SD--nw6ms]

this whole podcast was chaos

[@vanman757]

Wowee !! That was interesting...

[@trevorchapman9050]

Lives have been changed Peter, not by this, what came before, we’ll all wander on alone or with a hand previously stroked, sucking up to nostalgia following its scent. Once it was known, I couldn’t name it now, do I cry for it, wept for it yes, open is the road and the river will flow, cut us all open to show blood has a home, deep waves across the land, the sand, my hand, waves own our time as we lap lap lap away likes the sands of time.

Such an intelligent guy. His use of words are phenomenal Great to hear him sounding so well Up the bracket !!!!!

[@NEONMOTORFAIRY]

Fucking love the Irish. Poet philosophers, the lot of ‘em.

[@localauthorityofficial8393]

We supported Pete 3 weeks ago in Wales and he's a lovely person and very considerate...and his music is what it is and it always will live on and i believe its so good and comes from his heart... his voice is so soothing in his songs... even the angry songs he brings a soothing side like songs like 8 dead boys is angry and soothing at rhe same time... I dont know anyone else like that.. so blessed to have shared the stage with him!

[@HannahsHiccups]

[@samuelhumphrey5908]

Great interview. Great is an understatement. ❤

[@cancellationcorner]

You are such a good interviewer. You cycled through so many great questions really fast in a way that Pete seemed really on board with like both your trains of thought were synced up. Good job!

[@themichaelanthonyshowpodcast]
