It has been reported that Johnny was briefly a stand-in bassist for The Libertines before they were signed, but in recent interviews he has claimed that this is not true.
In Pete Welsh's Kids In The Riot, it is alleged that Borrell was sacked as The Libertines' bassist for unreliable behavior and not turning up to gigs, but in general there is little animosity between the two bands, and Borrell remains friends with Carl Barât.
The Libertines' song The Boy Looked At Johnny is reputedly about Borrell, and Razorlight album track Don't Go Back To Dalston is reputedly directed at Pete Doherty, telling him to curtail his drug habit.
