Peter Doherty (The Libertines, Babyshambles) is slowly spinning out of control due to a heavy drug comsumption. This jerky could actually be talented IF he doesn't blow it by snorting too much blow (amgonst other things...).
My question is this: Could this talented song writer blow it all like Syd Barrett? Syd had more talent that Doherty, but blew it all (after forming Pink Floyd and a few solo albums- even his career as a painter dwindled) in the late 60's acid rock scene. Could Peter has the same fate as Syd (but without a super model girlfriend like Kate Moss... P.S.- Doherty gave Moss the coke that she got in trouble for!) ?

Can people actually read on this site? Didn't I say that Syd had more talent than Doherty? Let me say this again then:
SYD HAS MORE TALENT THAN THIS JUNKIE POSTER BOY PETER DOHERTY!
There, hope that is cleared up. By the way y'all- I love Syd Barrett so cool your jets alright!

Doherty is nowhere near the genius Syd Barrett was. He will probably die and remain just as irrelevent as he is in life.

Bad comparison, because Syd Barrett was a clinical manic depressive and therefore mentally ill. He was also a recluse.
Pete Doherty is simply a self-inflicted drug addict and general media tart, who loves seeing his name in the papers.He has talent, but is more concerned about looking cool than proving himself.

I can't believe you are comparing the two. If you mean that he'll turn into a wastoid with no hope of ever coming back to reality then I think it's possible. If you mean he's going to leave some sort of musical legacy and be thought of as someone who's career was sadly cut short then NO. He'll most likely be remembered for being that junkie guy from that band who dated Kate Moss.
