Can't Stand Me Now?

Just in case having security in the studio to record the above mentioned song wasn't enough, Pete Doherty has recently claimed that fellow Libertines front man, Carl Barat doesn't trust him anymore and that this is affecting them ever properly getting the band back together.

Um Pete, You were arrested for burgling his house. Maybe his feelings are just?

Though even after the burglary and Pete ditching their European tour. Carl has replied that he understands were Pete is coming from but there is no mistrust towards him.

Pete was booted from The Libertines subsequent to his drug addiction, in 2004 and was told not to return until he cleaned his act up.
But really how long can this go on? Pete says one thing and Carl Claims it to be false.

There's obviously some kind of drive from both of them with Carl telling a journalist in 2005,

"It may as well happen now, because its going to happen sometime"

The Pair have met several times, and had rumoured/chanced a reunion at least once a year it seems.

In April 2007, They were on stage together, in June of the same year they recorded a cover of Beatles song "A Day in the Life", for BBC Radio 2's rerecording of the album, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.

In 2008, Barat said he would re-unite but only to record an album and only between his other band, Dirty Pretty Things' commitments.

In 2009 The pair were offered millions to reform and play at the Reading and Leeds Festivals. Though Barat turned the offer down announcing that "I've just freed myself up, and the last thing I want to do is burden my mind".

And finally in March last year, the band was invited by The Arcade Fire to join them for the same festivals. The group even held a press conference at the Boogaloo Pub which turned into somewhat of a guerilla gig. The festival appearances were preluded  by 2 gigs at the HMV Forum one night for close friends and family and the second for hardcore fans.


Barat has never really had any negativity towards Doherty even referring to their relationship as "a friendship I cherish".

So how about it Pete? Bite the bullet control your shit and punch out a new album.
You know you've got one in you and it's about bloody time.



Perf.
