From the title I assumed Pete would be the one behaving in an embarrassing way. But no, he handled himself with great grace and humility in the face of very intrusive questioning from someone totally ignorant of his work. Kudos to Pete.
Devistating how they put him on display like that. Like having an open therapy session. Very strange to watch.
I’m old enough to remember his heyday… he was literally famous for being a massive drug addict & acting like a complete mess, always causing chaos… his band had a couple of hits but then fell apart because he used to do heroin before gigs & then fall about mumbling gibberish on stage instead of performing… the fact that he doesn’t understand why an interviewer is asking him about his drug related behaviour pretty much shows how out of touch with reality he was back then tbh.

Pete in interviews is normally well put together Tbf I've seen a couple were he is clearly off his nut
Thats so true! Quetions asked by this interviewer are super obstrusive in a very disrepective way.
The video has to be renamed!
I had the privilege of meeting Pete in 2013 and we chatted for about 15 mins. Although he seemed a bit messed up, he was very sympathetic and caring and I think he asked more questions about me and how my day was so far. After our chat, we hugged like mates saying goodbye. I told him to look after himself and hope to see him again. His response was… believe me mate, I’m trying to get straight and one day I’ll crack it.

Yeah fuck Pete Doherty and his persona and everyone like him.his father is against him because of how he turned out to be nothing more than a junky musician which is low by average standards and because Pete turned his back on him.his father didn't get up every morning and work and went through the sweat and tears providing and keeping him all those years so he could end up turning out to be nothing more than a junky idolised by those who's parents wish they never encountered people like Pete.Pete is nothing more than the dregs of society unfortunately with the intelligence to influence the strong to be weak.....just like him
That was lovely ^
I’m not familiar with him but he handled himself really well in this interview. The interviewer was trying to go for his throat the entire time and Pete handled it with class.
Listen to baby shambles 👍🏻
You've not heard of Pete Doherty previous to this interview?
@@aeneasfrancois5636 nope
peter is always a class act in interviews. i've never seen any other celebrity act so calm under pressure from interviewers. i commend him for that
@@aeneasfrancois5636 tbf he isn't all that popular currently. he was well-known from the libertines back in the 2000s but not anymore. so i won't be shocked if younger people like gen z don't know who he is
"I'd like to imprint a melody in your heart and in your head". The most honest and noble ambition I've ever heard in my life

I think Pete handled himself pretty well. He was honest, humble and maintained a smile through a lot of tough questions that were borderline inappropriate. He never got angry or defensive I came away with a new found respect for the man.
First things first. I’m Irish, and this eejit Pat Kenny is a dinosaur from our national broadcaster who are a consortium of dinosaurs. He’s a charmless man who has no art in him and as such has to just continuously ask him about the usual ‘drink drugs women’ yada yada yada. I think Pete handled it like a gentleman, charming and elegant in his responses despite the idiotic and deeply personal questions being asked of him. It’s a shame because most Irish people couldn’t give a toss about his drug use and are more interested in the man and his art
There’s a real unfair romanticism around tortured people and creativity. Winehouse passing at 27 really upset me because she was abused by all the people around her. There’s nothing romantic there, that’s just sad. I’m just glad another young guy on the cusp of adulthood is around today and clean. You can see it in him that he’s a better person. He’s also quoted as saying when he was high his writing was crap. Which I love.
Amy winehouse was her own worst enemy man. Noone could ever abuse her the way she abused herself, even her mom said that in her book (Worth a read for a very straightforward and surprisingly unbiased book about amy's life and tragic death). The real tragedy is she died at a time when she had kicked all drugs and simply couldn't kick the alcohol. It was an accidental death 100%. If anything you are joining in on romanticizing it by saying it was everyone elses fault and implying she was some kind of victim of the people around her, which has been proven to be untrue. If anything SHE treated those around her like objects. I'm sure you haven't researched nearly this as much as I have since I am a certified winehouse fanboy, but I just wanted to clear up the matter.
Peter never said that.
I get where ur coming from but u can only help people like that so much I mean i guarantee Amy had people who tried to get her in rehab actually she has a whole song about it but I’ve been a junkie before to the same thing painkillers and it will ruin ur life take everything without u even noticing and you’ll be so down bad but not even notice cuz you are only thinking about getting high
Pete handled that really well,his interviewer must of read the sun for all of 2 minutes for research 👏
Not necessarily.
Must *have*
Pete is a poetic soul and a special being and has touched many people’s souls with his beautiful music. From the libertines to babyshambles to the solo album and the puta madres and the last one with the french geezer… a compelling beautiful body of work.
I love the libertines, I’ve always loved Pete’s sensibilities. But I especially love the metaphor of the shade from his hat hiding his eyes when he holds something back in this interview.
There was just something so likable, lovable about Pete.
People will sadly ask him this forever - it baffles me as as far as I’m concerned drug taking happens in pretty much every pub every night of the week .People still ask Keith Richards about his drug taking to this day .
Not heroin !, Facts are he had money to pay for his habit, the other 90% either steal, or sell their bodies on the street, sadly the amount of children taken into care because mother's are addicted to drugs is increasing everyday, people like Pete & Keith glamourised drugs until it f#cked them up
Your right and Keith has been off smack for decades, this interviewer is horrible.
There are so many things I would have loved to have known about Pete at this time of his life. For example, who were his favourite authors and artists, what were his favourite books, what music did he listen to growing up, his views on love and the creative process. There seems to be very little footage exploring Pete's humanity beyond the tired trope of addiction and self destruction.
This interview just encapsulates everything I hated when Peter was interviewed in the mid to late 00s. Every interview was like this, quizzing him about his addictions, prison or Kate Moss. Nothing about his music, songwriting, lyrics, inspirations. You can see how frustrated he gets but he handles it so well. The part here where he says he’d rather be known for his songs rather than all of the other tabloid gossip really hurts my heart, because the man has written so many fantastic tunes over the years. I think in recent years he has definitely changed peoples perspectives of him. I’m just glad he’s still with us and seems to have found happiness and stability in his life.
We are blessed he is still with us and still creating exceptional art.
He knew exactly what type of show this was and what type of questions he would be asked. ' bad press is good press'. he was great at promotion , marketing and PR. one of his underrated talents
I was with Peter and his wife last night in Glasgow back stage, he's very generous with his time, he's kind and great to be about, my friends who I took were all glowing as they left him and Katias presence... he's been clean for four years now and he's on top form, if that guy who interviewed him had asked proper questions he could have had a comedy show as Peter is very funny man with a wealth of stories that would have been entertaining for the audience, instead he went for the tabloid interview which will never be entertaining, couldn't he see that Peter was very perturbed with his line of questioning...no wonder Peter up'd sticks and went to France... he's the only Rock and Roll star as far as I'm concerned from the UK, and a dam good one at that, he has great time for anyone that not the police or journalists...🎶 I doff my cap to Mr Peter Doherty and his beautiful wife Katia...God bless them
Whatever else he always seems a Nice, polite, articulate guy. He's definitely creative which is poetry and artwork has shown recently.
I think Pete learnt the hard way with the mainstream media.He was lost,young & naive.
You just don’t go on these kind of shows because all they want is salacious gossip & to be all tabloid.
I think Pete did well to keep it together with the interviewer.
Today Pete is absolutely smashing it..he’s settled,has a family & is doing what he loves..playing & writing music.
🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Pete's really moved on - yes he's put on weight, but is clealry in a good place. He was hilarious on the last leg and never mind the buzzcocks, and because he's survived he's now earned national treasure status.
He wasn't really hilarious on the Last Leg was he? He came across well i thought but hilarious definately not.
@@dublinsfaircity On Buzzcocks he was. the story of him and Carlos as private investigators honestly made me lol
@@estebancomulet it was hilarious definitely 😂
He's a junkie fk lol national treasure lol
Nice one
He is so sweet bless him, glad he’s doing better now X
He's always been class then and now
For me the minute I heard The Delaney I was in love with that band and what I believed they represented.Freedom to live your life...a guitar,a melody and your best friend.I'll always adore The Libertines.
One of the best answers to any question I've seen.. 👏 👏 implant a melody in your heart..
Pete handled himself exquisitely here.
Its not his worst interview at all his worst was when he sprayed his own blood over his interviewers from a syringe he was using to inject gear before the interview started
Pete is one of the most talented human beings! His art is beautiful!
Pull your head out your arse man, get a grip of yourself.
Interviewer is so simplistic in his approach
One of his best interviews. He said if like it is at the end. Too bad the media only focused on the drugs and Kate Moss. He handled this typical interview w honesty and class
Really good commentary... Thanx for that... To articulate my thoughts into sense that's actually well put and insightful
“I’d like to imprint a melody in your heart and in your head and have that as the way you think of me” beautifully put and he has several times over for me. One of the greatest songwriters of all time and he should be acknowledged as such.
I watched this live at the time and believe me, the melody he played that night was one to be forgotten.
He was winging it all the way and I'm sure the presenter never gave him a thought since.
I couldn't blame him either....
@@chilly6470 Edit: having seen the performance in question, it was far from forgettable. It was excellent and beautiful and the song is great. The interviewer didn’t even understand what he was seeing or hearing.
@@j.c985 I don't even know what he played. I'm not a fan. It sounded like he was making it up as he went along though.
@@j.c985last of the English Roses.. Great song and the performance was good... That Solo album is great... 👍👍
@@chilly6470nope.. Its a great song..
So sad that one thought of him as only being a drugaddict which he is not, he is one of UK’s finest poets.
He is an very intelligent and very kind person, and like he said he should be remembered by his music and lyrics.
@D Mcc clearly you didn't read the comment properly
@@hezhezhez Al give you that one hez hez 4 am when I wrote that , but I've no sympathy with him at all,
@@dmcc757 hope no one you love never suffers with addiction
you can always say no.
@@brian.7966 🙈
I'm a heroin and crack addict of 32 years my family have austrocised me judged me without talking to me , I'm a kind loving guy but they won't know that, I'd love a coffee and a chat with them about normal day to day things, my mum to her credit sticks by me out of my family, my step dad is on and off again love.
The rest of my family will never know me cos they have judged me and I haven't spoke to them in years, I thought this was a fantastic clip and from Pete's point of view so much so I've asked my mum to play it to my step father see the emotion in Pete both of you the love inside him
Thanks for the content dude, always class. X
I think this is his best interview 🤷🏻♂️
That slight raise of the corner of his mouth when love was mentioned. It sounded like a subject that actually matters was about to be talked about, then the host said the most boring thing possible. What a waste
Well done Pete. For a time in the 2000’s they were the best band about. Mad concerts , word of mouth, then Up The Bracket. What a debut. Proper Raw album that was. Tunes like Horrorshow, Death of the Stairs and the outstanding tune for me Time for Heroes and Boys in The Band. All the Albion Stuff and Babyshambles I liked most of it. Kilamangiro was genius. The Libertines second album was good but over produced in my opinion. Both albums done by Mick Jones. Can’t stand me Now was a tune. The way Pete and Karl are doing vocals together a verse a time or just both join in. “ You shut me down and blamed it on the brown , cornered the boy kicked ………”. Top lyric. Last Post on the Bugle is a tune not forgetting the final record What became of the likely lads. Just finished the album off perfectly. Great band. Two mint albums , debauchery , drug addict , 2 best pals no longer, burglaries , the lot but they and there fans didn’t give a fuck. Last I listened to him was the one he recorded in Normandy during lockdown with Frederic Lo The fantasy life of poetry and crime. Well chilled 👍🏼. A fine album but very different. A great songwriter , lyricist , and intelligent man.
Wow, it is like being told you are doing an interview about your music, instead you end up in an unexpected and unwanted psychotherapy session on television!!
Pete handled himself brilliantly here
“I’d like to imprint a melody in your heart and your head and have that as how you think of me” very elegantly said Pete ❤
his eyes are so expressive 🥹
It's so interesting hearing him say that at the end as a massive fan of him whenever I've mentioned him to my family who don't really know the band the libertines they still only know him as they guy who dated Kate moss and his drug addiction
I remember watching that interview and Pete came all the way over to Dublin in terrible weather to be interviewed. Pat Kenny was a bloody disgrace and then camera man zoning in on his fingernails etc was awful as well. Nobody I know who watched that interview were happy with the way Pat Kenny conducted it, it was very hostile. Why invite a guest if you are going to ostracise them in that way.
It's quite possibly one of the worst interviews I've ever seen, where Pat Kenny somehow managed to surpass my already abysmal opinion on him. He's so pompous and patronising when he's totally out of his depth....the arrogance of him when he hasn't got a clue about music, art or the art of connecting with interviewees to bring the best out of them. This was like an ill advised and inappropriate intervention more than an interview, he's lucky Pete had the good grace and dignity to withstand this nonsense. Pat Kenny's clumsy comparison with Shane McGowan 'hes fond of...ye know'....ugh.
@@nedthestaffieegan3452 Absolutely, RTE is just a clique anyway because there's no way anyone as wooden as Pat Kenny should've been anywhere near a chat show.
I think he handled himself really well considering so many negatives were focused on, no talk of music poetry, nothing . To be honest poor Pete ❤️
He's smashed it ... oh gosh that interview was painful bad juju ... poor Peter , handled himself remarkably well I'd of decked him .
Pete should have told him to f##k off! Ghastly vile presenter.
The interviewer missed a good opportunity here to have a decent conversation with Pete....just wanted to dish the dirt on him!!
He nailed it at the end!
Articulate gracious and patient with the interviewer....you can see he's such an honest, and sensitive soul who has used drugs possibly to escape pain in his life...at least he's not pretentious...far from it. I never met him but knew people who had hung out round his serious drug taking period. Seems very genuine. Glad and happy he's left uk and clean and found a partner who isn't part of that old scene
Handled himself so well. Must have been really uncomfortable.
Focus on the art ...focus on the artist ask about his creative process leave the other stuff aside that's personal too Pete talk more about the positive effects his music has had on people ...keep shining on you crazy diamond 😊😊
This is quite sad to watch but importantly, how amazing is it to see how Pete is doing these days. Saw him at Wembley last summer and him and the band were on excellent form and Pete looked happy. Journalists really are b3st3rds arent they?
Bringing up Shane McGowan was a brilliant comparison, in the sense that Shane and Pete are very alike. Two incredibly talented poets who probably would have gone much further if it weren't for their addiction.
At the same time, this entire interview was completely inappropriate and it was not this guys place to be asking these kind of questions. Pete is a rare celebrity example of a genuine pure soul, just like Shane. It hurts seeing people like him being put on the spot like this
When I think of Pete Doherty, I remember the sense of freedom I felt dancing to his music. And then I think of how clever his mind is, as demonstrated in this appalling interview.
Pete is a pot of gold. Literature, art, music, poetry. Ask him about his joy and his love and I guarantee he’ll introduce you to writers and artists that will enrich your life.
He is also one of the great dreamers and romantics of our time.
I was aware of the Libertines. I loved Grace/Wastelands. I have really got into his music (all projects) recently. What is undeniable is that he is talented and has written some great songs. It is sad that people do not take the time to do this. Their loss.
Saw the baby shambles in Barcelona in 2006 at Sonar. He was so out of his mind on smack he dropped his guitar and fell asleep leaning on the mic stand. And what was most disturbing was that the crowd liked it and cheered him on.
Well he's a rock star not a bible study group star
A rock star !!??
Are you having a laugh ?
@@snape932like it or not he is an incredible songwriter and he sings rock songs
He is a musician,but once you have been given the title of drug addict,you become schadenfraude for the bored,,hypocritical masses,who are addicted to hearing about everyone's addictions,regardless of level of functionality,,unless you are on the super downlow (like Phillip Seymour Hoffman)where it is a general shock,either way it is a torrid cycle ,
Very literate Peter open and aware...im really enjoying looking over his career at mo ...
Pity the women in the audience has no self-awareness!?
The interviewer isn't being rude, but his line of questioning is very personal and doesn't let up. I cant say I've ever been a fan of PD, but he conducted himself adorably here.
To add an Irish context to this, the 'Late Late Show' was the flagship weekend show in Ireland and a guaranteed viewing draw on a friday night. Pat Kenny got the spot after Gay Byrne retired. Kenny got the position not because he was the best person for the job but because in true Irish Boys club style he was the prince in waiting at the national broadcater. He is a reasonably middling and passable political analyst and he has as we say in Ireland, 'The Neck'. The show never recovered after he presented it. He is cold. All that is whatever it is but when he directs that coldness into hurting such a creative and honest person like Pete Doherty, Kenny needs a pulling up on it. Pete was a very strong gentleman in this interview to hold his dignity and patience, the bigger man for sure. 👍👍
Imagine trying to get your head straight and you get questioning like this in front of an audience and TV.
Well he didn't have to go on telly, did he?
@@andyknowles772he probably foolishly thought they’d talk about his music. History isn’t on his side for that though, they do it with all celebs
this is therapy session but without any help and just throwing the client under the bus on tv, if the presenter cant even name a song and see him for his talent then the presenter is just a media puppet
Pete, despite your problems on life, you are a truly honest person. The interviewer should be ashamed of himself. There is so much more to you than drugs. Hang in there, man you're .
'Pete Doherty's Butcher wears one' Simon's Dad Inbetweeners.
Media ruined his life more than the drugs , that interview proves that
The version of’Last of the English Roses’ that he does at the end of this interview shuts Pat Kenny right up. Peter’s worth 100x this helmet
We messaged around this time and the guy was sound.he asked me to come to London and how well i played drums, can i come down. I never met up. He asked me to come to Liverpool for a chat and a coke As i missed the guest list for Blackfrairs or Brixton academy 😂. My girlfriend wasnt happy. I ended meeting Carl Barat in Liverpool by accident, we spoke. He was so small. We went to see Dirty pretty things that night.❤ I always wonder what would have happened if we hung out then?
Loved that song they did ‘can’t stand me now can’t stand me now can’t stand me now can’t stand me now’. That’s my favourite. I can’t really think of some of the other ones but they are pretty great. Love that one ‘can’t stand me now can’t stand me now can’t stand me now can’t stand me now can’t stand me now can’t stand me now can’t stand me now can’t stand me now. Genius!
Pete's a good bloke i know hes younger than me and he's a successful musician but we have a mirrored life with parties drugs and family.i totally understand pete.hes allot more than a pipe some foil and a shag.🇬🇧
If only we knew as much about ADHD as we do now xx Love your forever Pete.
I think Pete will be remembered for some great songs and there's no doubt he's always been committed to the music, the songwriting and the creative process. He's always struck me as a very intelligent bloke and I've always admired him for his honesty. It's also great to know he's apparently drug free these days and enjoying life. A decent guy who deserves a break.
People need to get over probing others about their personal lives and get a life of their own. Absolute B/S. He is a poet and a musician and we need to respect and be grateful for all he gives.💖
Pete Doherty's new shows, ice baths, meditating.... The ultimate middle finger to people like this interviewer, and the interviewer not even bothering to check out Pete's music before this interview tells all.
Excellent interview Pete was a little challenged but presented well. Pat Kenny is a very knowledgeable current affairs journalist/presenter and would challenge him again if he was to interview him that's his wayhe wasn't trying to embarrass or put Pete down.
The tv budget are waste for the host and they was not having a talent coordinator who told the studio audience the do and do not list
I love ya channel
Ok interview. The blight question was probably something he needed to hear, cause once he leaves he'll go back to drugging it up.
I do respect Kenny for not holding back tbf, just could've been more balance
Pete is a legend and a genius
Sober up
When i see Pete or hear his name i have a strong urge to hear his music so yes for many music fans he has achieved this.
Not sure how this is the WORST interview?
It’s so compelling
It's quite staggering for a TV presenter conducting an interview with a singer-songwriter to admit he couldn't name a single song that he'd written. It's to Pete's credit that he didn't walk out at that point.
@@neilriddell2171 Voilla ! Research demoted to “ tabloid gossip”. I think peter handled it well. I’m not talking about coping… I’m saying he allows you to see through the interview with the tip of a hat. It was invasive as it was patronising.
His filthy black hands always made me laugh
Pete Is A Beautiful Soul.
"lets go back to shouting girl" is what i kept thinking as this man tried to have a televised therapy session with Pete. Cant believe he didnt even bother to listen to a song of his beforehand.
Just watched the Louis Theroux interview that brought me here
Jeez this interviewer thought it was a therapy session Pete did really well to be calm and collected.
His drug use and relationship with moss is what made him big in the u.s. but once i heard his music i realized he was talented beyond words
i like the babyshambkes best. particularly the what a lovely tour recording. think this was the peak for me.
5:13
Good man Pete.
This interviewer is an aresole and thats putting it nicely
Just watched this for the first time. After watching his recent interview with Tommy Tiernan. I think Tommy Tiernan focused mainly on controversy...Tiernan is a comedian, actor and creative himself, meaning he had a great opportunity to explore something alternative with Pete. But he didn't...a wasted opportunity, especially as Pete seemed open and willing.
As an Irish man let me assure you all we do not claim this interviewer, Pat Kenny.
Looking for any redeeming quality !
its fucked how personal every interview of him is
This isn’t his worst interview at all. It’s the interviewers worst interview. His first solo record Grace and wastelands is inspired and brilliant.
Onn ya go pete. Be yourself... dont change who you are.
He definitely improved, night and day
That video would have been much better if you had have play the song at the end just to see if he had changed Pat kenny's mind
If you watch the full interview he gives zero feedback on the song.
The interviewer is Pat Kenny......a rather notorious individual.
I love the libertines, I’ve always loved Pete’s sensibilities. But I especially love the metaphor of the shade from his hat hiding his eyes when he holds something back in this interview.
Clickbaity - not his worst interview by a long shot!
1:50 He looks like a child when he says this so cute 😂
The best question would be, 'do you understand you write as well as lennon did?'
poor Pete. Very balanced and composed despite a lot of provocation, credit to him.
I remember watching live on Irish TV and pat Kenny just made me cringe. Pete went on to perform a beautiful version of 'The lost art of murder'
