Wow, really? Thank you! :) It's what I want to do for my life, anyways, so it's great practice ;) Well, the winner each week for each seperate assignment gets... (and I quote from RS.com): a brand new First Act SFA Edition Lola CE120 guitar, plus a shot to win a gig writing for RollingStone.com. Awesoooome....!

Ok this is what I've got so far. The intro is literally me rambling. It needs to be edited way down. Kind of wrote it while blasting the Horrors' "Sheena" on loop... :uhoh: So..... LMFAO. I hope the questions aren't lame either, wrote them off the top of my head.... 8 and 9 are a debate between some of Tea's. I'm still open to suggestions though! :) I'M FROM ROLLING STONE.COM CONTEST: Now let’s say you got the chance to shoot the breeze with your favorite living band or artist for a Rolling Stone profile. What questions would you ask? Tell us who you’d interview and submit your ten best questions. Intelligent, well-informed, provocative, off-the-wall or poignant — the goal is to do your homework and then craft inquiries that will elicit compelling answers and reveal something about the interview subject. Submissions are due in no later than Friday, January 19th at 12 P.M. EST. A winner will be announced the following Wednesday, January 24th, SUBJECT: Babyshambles. Flick on an entertainment news channel and you'll hear countless hours of celebrity gossip. Wander by a magazine rack and you'll confront thousands of pages analyzing the weight loss secrets and drug habits of our demi-gods. It's hard to get anywhere in this day and age without escaping this fascination with the often negative sides of "celebrities." It's not surprising that to many in America, outside of informed scenesters or subscribers to the NME, only know Pete Doherty as the "junkie" boyfriend of Kate Moss. The fucked up Brit rocker. His legacy with the Libertines still looms largely in his life, yet few know of his endeavors through the band Babyshambles. With one album, a scattered history of touring and countless tabloid battles behind them, Babyshambles take on 2007 with a vigor; planning to release their second album and tour behind it throughout the year. To get to the people behind the music, who are more than just tabloid fodder, would be highly interesting both to myself as an interviewer, as well as the public. QUESTIONS: 1. There have been many changes to the line-up of Babyshambles in the past, how does the band compare now to what it was one, or two, years ago? 2. In the song 'Sticks and Stones' off of your first album, Peter, you sing "Don't look back into the motherfucking sun". What instigated that reaction from you? Is it a look back at the Libertines? 3. Peter, what do you feel was your greatest moment in the Libertines? 4. Adam, you came into the band after replacing original drummer Gemma Whatshername in 2005. Did you know Peter, or anyone associated to the band, personally before? How did you feel coming into a band that was already formed and had a few gigs under their belt? 5. There has been a lot of debate recently, amongst fans and the tabloids, about "hangers-on" in your life, Peter. Some identify your Pentonville cellmate the General as one of these people. Is this true? Also, how deep of a role in the band does the General play? 6. Drew, you have said that you didn't know much of the Libertines or their music before you joined Babyshambles. Has being in a band with Peter changed this, or made you a fan of his past work? 7. And Drew, you've put some tunes up on MySpace under the alias Drew Helsinki that have garnered quite a favorable reaction from fans of Babyshambles and beyond. Any plans on releasing this material, either through the band or as a solo artist? 8. MAYBE- The rivarly between DPT and Babyshambles, truth or fiction? (touch upon comment of them being rubbish?) 9. MAYBE- What new bands makes you belive in music?/Mick Jones didn't produce the latest EP, will you work with him again? 10. So, Peter, let's put all the speculation to rest. Have you ever slept with Carl Barat in a sexual way?

That's my favorite too :nice: awwww Petey! I really think he's just the perfect weight there :heart:

1. OMG Kara those pictures!!! The third one really is pretty.... I don't know how to feel about the General. At all. Precisely why one of my questions fo 'Shambles is: 5. There has been a lot of debate recently, amongst fans and the tabloids, about "hangers-on" in your life, Peter. Some identify your Pentonville cellmate the General as one of these people. Is this true? Also, how deep of a role in the band does the General play? I haven't read any interviews, really, where he freely mentions him and speaks about that.... I'm really interested to hear an answer. 2. downloading the video now! :dance:

OH MY GOD. I was just smiling so wide too!!! Then I burst out crying :\ HE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL. holy crap. I have such an insane revival of Peter love... It's like when I first discovered them. omg I'm still crying a little. But happy tears. he's just so... ah.... omg.

omg. omggggg. lmfao I think it's funny that I color every other nail on my hands black with a sharpie too. Drew and I r twin0rzzz ? wow I'm on crack. *goes to see!* :)

haha, ;) *pats Steph* I forgot that you hadn't! *shuts up about it!!!!!* lucky I didn't reveal too much, eh!? :uhoh:

Haha, and if my opinion really counted any I'd say What A Waster is the second best! :P love it! haha Columbia // Oasis

Oh good! Well that's actually exactly what I wanted...... ;) I wanted it to just STOP and give a sort of strange.... i don't know, I guess I'd call it a combo of a resolution and a cliff hanger? ;) Cheers for the feedback! :) I'll post them, definately, Tea! I'll probably post them tonight cuz I've only got to do two more and write the rest of my short little intro. I want you guys to definately check it out and make sure they make sense ;)

I'm really going to leave it. :laugh4: :laugh4: oh shit. I can't wait to submit this! I've got until Friday so.... omg I was going to give this to my english teacher to read over... he'll be like "errrr?" when he gets to that one. But I don't give a shit. LMFAO. OH MY GOD. I would never EVER EVER EVER ask Carl. Ever. Ever. :laugh4: :heart:

Live Forever // Oasis Best song ever.

I might as well. Stone says they could be off the walls and insane. I mean, that could be funny or aweful to ask. Considering all my other questions are REALLY deep, it might be nice to end that way ;) :laugh4: PLUS I REALLY FUCKING WANT TO KNOW. SHIT. I don't know if, say, I ever interviewed Shambles I'd ever ask that. But fuck it, I probably would!

I won't joke, I seriously am considering putting in a bumsex question as one of my ten. "So, Peter, let's just put all the speculation to rest. Have you ever slept with Carl Barat in a sexual way?" :smug: EDIT: oh snap, i totally didn't even catch that, Tea. There I go with my liberal and politically incorrect usage of that word! :laugh4: Seriosuly though..... hahahaha. shit.

I think he's hot! In that sort of.... hey, a foreigner :sneaky: way. Cuz I'm creepy like that :laugh4: :laugh4: But then again, what makes someone hot to me seriously isn't their face. If I knew him personally, and he was a total cunt, then he wouldn't be hot anymore! ;) But if he was a really nice guy, then hey! hahhaa

I think he's hot, dude. I mean that's someone I'd give a second look on the street ;) he's not your brother, right?! :uhoh: Cuz then I'd feel creepy! But yeaaaah, dude.... who is thaaat? heh

Well, I went on the 13th in Boston. I had tickets to both the NYC Bowery shows on the 14th and 15th, but my mom told me a week before that it wasn't going to work. That was um.... that was a bad moment for me :laugh4: I literally hated her for like a week, until we went to the Boston show and she was really cool so.... it was alright, though, cuz I literally lost my hearing on the 13th and the other gigs would have been really unhealthy for me. I get sick so easily :rolleyes: blah! Yeah, well, the 14th was 18+ but it happened to be the NEXT day, suckage! and the 15th was 21+. Which I thought was completely gay, and they better not pull that shit again when they come back!!! Seriously! :angry: not that it's them LMFAO but whatever! hahahaa ;) I plan on getting an awesome fake id anyways, though. So I'm set. Ohhhhh man.... stalkage is what I do best! :smug: Awww, juli, I'm sorry you've had such an aweful day :\ seriously! I had a really bad one Friday, so I sympathize. *hugs* I think Peter's earing could be more of a piss take. I mean I give the man insane credit for not giving a shit and putting whatever he likes on, it's what makes him Pete Doherty, yanno? He's never cared, and that has actually become a style now. I hope that shit earing doesn't though! :laugh4: but yeah, I guess I don't mind it for that reason ;) Juli, ask away! No question or topics off limits here, seriously.

Oh John! Yeah, that's true! :laugh4: :uhoh: Oh dude, don't even mention when they came to NYC. I'm still all pissy that I had to sell my tickets to those two gigs... I am so getting a fake ID next time so I can rock out and get shitfaced with them. WHOO!!!! right. But yeah! Oh my god! I just like the idea of me walking around NYC and randomly bumping into Stan. It's something that I entertain my mind with sometimes.

No, sadly, I am not fucked by Stan. Not yet, anyways. I mean, hopefully, someday...... And I also hope very deeply that the anonymity and complexities of the internet never lead my guy of choice here to see this. LMFAO LMFAO. But honestly. Damn. Like..... damn. Think Stan lives in NYC? Or London mainly? Probably London..... but.... NYC? sometimes? Maybe? See what I'm getting at? It's disgusting and really sick. LMFAO.

:bigcry: Seriously, though. Oh lord. I'm not even religious and I say that all the time :laugh4: But honestly! oh my GOD shit! I'm fucked! :laugh4: :thinking: yeah nvm.

^Dude. Wtf. LMFAO. lmfaoooooo. I think that's an exageration, but that's just me ;) :laugh4: Just thinking of U2 in 3-D makes me kind of flip out.....?

It's absolutely obscene how much I want to do Anthony right now, after those pictures. No. Seriously. It's really aweful.... :laugh4: :uhoh: I think Tea can sympathize, yes. Errrm yeap no other comments right about now....? Thanks so much for the questions, Tea! Indeed it is super cool, I want a gig with Stone! Badly! I think it's overall a shit magazine, but hell! I'll take what I can get! I really appreciate the help ;) I have to stare at Anthony more now. Shit. My life is a mess.

Hmmm.... So this is off topic from what we're talking about, but I've been writing for the I'm From Rolling Stone contest, which gives you a different "prompt" each week. A winner is chosen who gets like... I dunno... money and a First Act guitar as a prize. Then at the end of the 10 week show's run, after the last "prompt" is given and a winner is chosen for that, someone will be chosen overall and will recieve a laptop and a 3-month writing gig with Stone. So I'm just doing it for the hell of it. This week's assignment is: Now let’s say you got the chance to shoot the breeze with your favorite living band or artist for a Rolling Stone profile. What questions would you ask? Tell us who you’d interview and submit your ten best questions. Intelligent, well-informed, provocative, off-the-wall or poignant — the goal is to do your homework and then craft inquiries that will elicit compelling answers and reveal something about the interview subject. Submissions are due in no later than Friday, January 19th at 12 P.M. EST. A winner will be announced the following Wednesday, January 24th... So I'm going to do Babyshambles! Not SPECIFICALLY Peter, although I have to admit right now most of my question ideas are circling around him. That's what I want to try and change, try and get everyone involved. I do have about 6 questions, but I'm not going to share them just yet because they're really rough and I want to get my facts for definate straight before anything ;) So.... what I need from you guys.... What questions would YOU ask them? I mean just random stuff, what would you want to know? I know what I do, and that could definately go for like... a hundred questions. But any fresh ideas are great, and I'd expand upon them to make them in my own words obviously ;) Really appreciated! So yeah, maybe some of your questions will actually fit up with the now 8 that I have written down! I'm interested to see....!

hahaha Peter's earing :nice: Steph, I'd kill you if you sold that. Just want you to know :) :laugh4: Drew looks so fucking good :dead:

whooooa, Kara! Those pictures are stunning! I love them! awww Peter looks so good! :nice: Looked like a great show from Dublin Castle too, damn. :dead:
