Peter Doherty is a UK singer-songwriter, currently fronting his band Babyshambles. Doherty first became known as co-frontman of The Libertines. Although The Libertines’ exciting but short-lived existence lasted no more than two albums, the band left a lasting legacy on the current music scene, attracting a loyal fanbase with their ‘band of the people’ ethos and catchy songs.

Doherty left The Libertines after continuously failing to honor his band’s commitments, and because of the deteriorating relationship between him and Carl Barât; although the exact story behind this remains debatable.

Doherty’s post-Libertines work has been varied. He has distributed three sets of demos on the internet, an assortment of tracks written whilst with The Libertines, and some new songs. These works have attracted new fans and demonstrated him as a talented songwriter and guitarist.

Doherty has assembled a new band Babyshambles, who have, to date, released two albums, Down in Albion and Shotter’s Nation, as well as The Blinding EP.

Doherty’s debut solo album Grace/Wastelands was released March 16th 2009. The first single ”Last of the English Roses” was released on March 9th. Mick Jones was replaced as producer for Doherty’s newest solo album by Stephen Street, who produced Babyshambles second outing. Blur guitarist Graham Coxon was also recruited during the making of the album, his presence turning “Grace/Wastelands” into a calmer sounding album.

I think it's just because it was in this tv-studio. And Peteblueeyes you're right, that nowhere in this song is "above all races" said. But this is, what Hitler and the national-socialists wanted to show the others, and that's why this stanza's "forbidden" [or better called: not likely seen] today.

To get it right. In the first stanza of the "Deutschlandlied" it says "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" meaning "Germany above all" There is no mentioning of races (either people or car races) in the whole song. Its intention is that a united german state should be created at all costs, because when the lyrics where written (in 1841) there was no german state. It is not illegal to sing the first stanza, allthoug only the third stanza is the official national anthem. But doing so is considered nationalist. And by the way. He did it also in May 2006 at a Babyshambles Concert in Cologne. So I really don't get why everybody is making such a fuss about it now.

i'm refering to the incident when doherty was forced to leave the stage halfway through his concert in munich for singing an old version of the german national anthem. my point is that the germans i've known tend to take themselves a little to seriously, and for crying out loud: what do you excpect when you go to a pete doherty concert?

What you've written means to drive a car very fast or the green grass in your garden. And in our old hymn it means "races" so you've to write it with double "s" = "Rassen". But I don't understand your ambitions anyway, because the video also isn't from his gig in Munich, it's the Sex Pistols. Can you tell me what you want to tell us, please?

Madeit, stop doing stupid things and if you want to write something in German, then look it up before doing it.

madeit, what you wrote actually means "germany above all other lawns" and what you meant to type isn't even part of the song.

Deutschland, Deutschland ueber alle anderen rasen. Take this from somebody who knows what he's talking about. Germans are all right, but they also are a bunch of whiny complainy-pants.
