Marc Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Exclusive - Johnny Borrell and Pete Doherty scrap in Leeds Pete earlier in the weekend JOHNNY BORRELL and PETE DOHERTY have been involved in a backstage bust-up at the CARLING WEEKEND: LEEDS FESTIVAL, NME.COM can reveal.Both bands played on the final night of the event yesterday (August 28) at Bramham Park in Leeds, with Razorlight on the main stage and Babyshambles appearing on the nearby NME / Radio 1 Stage.Witnesses claim that shortly before midnight Doherty went to Razorlights dressing room, and headbutted the Razorlight singer. As things got worse, security broke up the fight.A festival source told NME.COM: Weve been told that Pete Doherty did in fact have a disagreement with Razorlight. Rumour is that Doherty walked into the bands dressing room last night after both bands had played and in an unprovoked attack headbutted Johnny Borrell. Johnny put Doherty on the floor and left the dressing room, at which point festival security escorted Doherty from the dressing room and back to his bus."A spokesperson for Doherty was unavailable for comment, however, a spokesperson for the festival confirmed that an incident had taken place, but declined to comment further.After the incident Razorlight travelled to Scotland, where they play this evening (August 29) at Edinburgh T On The Fringe at the Corn Exchange.

Lemonade Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Pete. when are you gonna learn? I'm getting more used to seeing him on the front pages of the tabloids than in the music press.Though if I could pick someone to headbutt, Johnny Borell would be pretty high on my list.

Afro Droid Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 If I were to cut Docherty's head off and give it to the Tillydrone kids to chuck around the street like opium addicted Chinamen - would anyone care? Except maybe NME, and even they'd have forgotten about it in 6 months time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I thought i hated Jonny Borrell more but i think i'd now actually want him to win in a scrap between the two....or would I? Maybe they could both just kill each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 i proved myself right, i put this on as i knew it would just turn into a debate about how much everyone hates both of them, and i was right, itll prob hit the papers when if it happened about 6 months ago (maybe a little longer) it wouldnt, mean the bloc party art brut fight never.

Afro Droid Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Every single Libertines song sounds like 'Boys Don't Cry' by The Cure. They were balls. Shame on you Mick Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 i used to feel quite sorry for doherty when the tabloids exploited him but it just seams like he wants to kill everyone who has said something bad about him, he n borrell used to be good friends, well they used to live together anyway. U would think by now that he would be used to people talking badly about him, as for babyshambles, their demos are really good but the finished version of fuck forever was worse than the demo, whether they will ever release their album is doubtful, it probs wont sound what they were wanting it to sound like anyway coz alot of their songs will get rushed if they do release it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it did, there'd be myriad people on these forums sporting an autumn 'beaten-up boxer' look... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Well I'm going to stick my head out and say I loved the Libertines, I'm very impressed by what I've heard of Babyshambles so far, and I think Pete's a fucking legend.

Marsh Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Remember Johnny Borell used to hang around with Doherty before Razorlight made it big, and he admitted in a Q interview he was a junkie who still "uses" now and again. He also said taking smack was no big deal and in actual fact was a very social thing. TOSSER.So they are both useless, tuneless, junkie wasters.Ignore them and the'll go away. (or kill themselves through drug usegae or beating shit out of each other.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was sacked by Carl and Pete for not turning up for a roughtrade showcase and instead went to an alabama 3 gig. TWAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
