He has been called Alcoholic, Genius, Songwriter, Poet etc........regardless of all the monachers, the one thing he is, has and always will be is.....BRUTALLY HONEST and I love Shane Mac for that........XOXOXOXOX!
Why? They say the same about a lot of people who are clean and sober. Besides, Shane threw his life away. Ended up in a wheelchair, then bedridden and eating through a tube. There's nothing to respect in that.
It pisses me off when people make fun of Shane MacGowan, he wrote some great songs back in the day and it's ashame people don't give him enough credit.
he is a no talent drunk bum a.o. united states it amazeing hes still alive.how in the hell this guy made it this far in life.this is the end result of the drink,and drugs.
@@elgato894 What is wrong with you, Mossy? Your post flags you as an interesting psychological case. And by 'interesting', I mean 'awful.' First, your nonsensical grammar and misspelled words construct a somewhat incomprehensible, oddly prejudiced, emotional ramble that makes me feel like YOU were drunk when you wrote it. The United States is a 'no-talent bum?' Haha, wtf does that even mean, man? Your'e incredibly unclear. Perhaps english is your 2nd language? Or maybe your 4th or 5th? Who knows but IF that is what your'e trying to say then wow. I mean, what a bizarre thing to do though---to randomly personify the whole of such a massive and diverse nation of 350 million people as drunks' or 'no talent bums.' You clearly have never been to the United States and probably not anywhere too far from your birth hole, be that in europe, eastern europe, the middle east or wherever. And your insane characterization and odd singling out of America begs the question of how you concluded such and if you likewise baselessly apply the same kind of blanket negative characterizations to other countries. Like, what about Belgium or Italy or the Ukraine for examples? Are they all 'no talent bums' too? If not, then what are they? And what about Canadians? Or do you only hate America and thus reserve your national 'bum' categorization only for the U.S? And if so, that's based on? Sounds personal. And weird. Like, what happened, did you get beat up by an American? Or did an American guy have se.x with your wife or something? Who hurt you, Mossback? And btw, what country are you from? Do you stilll live there or did you move to some place else? How would you likewise (strangley) describe your nation or wherever you live now? Now, aside from your apparent anti-American bigotry, it's even clearer that you have a biased, unrealistic view of Shane McGowan and the millions others who have drinking or addiction issues. Let me ask you, was the American who banged your wife or girlfriend also a drunk? It fits but... Anyway, you don't have to like drunks or even be a fan of McGowan, I'm not saying that. But your statement that McGowan is merely a 'drunk' and 'no-talent bum' is just patently false. I mean, demonstrably. Shane is a drunk, sure. That singular statement is true and when isolated, it is your only accurate one. I'll even editorialize a bit and agree that Shane McGowan is visciously drunk all the time, ok? Sure he is but it's absurd to then say he's a 'no-talent bum' when it's clear he's not. McGowan's won countless music awards, gold records and critical acclaim and was at the top of the pop charts for years. Like him or not, he and the Pogues have built impressive musical 'resum'es.' Shane McGowan's body of musical work include at least 5 or 6 songs that are good-to-excellent by all standards, both critically acclaimed and well-loved-by-fans. Some of these, he wrote or cowrote in addion to performing the hell out of when he was a younger man. McGowan and the Pogues have gotten much artistic recognition for their literary depth, good arrangements of their energetic Irish folk-rock sound and Shane McGowan's oft-compelling, always-inimitable vocals as front man. Well-documented and deserved, as proven by tunes like 'Fairytale of New York', 'Dirty Old Town' and 'Sally Maclennane' or 'A Rainy Nignt in Soho'. These and several others were also wildly popular among fans upon release and still rightly revered. The bottom line is drunk or not, McGowan and the Pogues' body of work are superb at points and good enough on average to be remembered in the pantheon of high-talent pop and folk musician-performers for a long, long time to come, meaning McGowan the drunk nonetheless possessed lots of talent in his earlier, prolific days and was not a bum, then or now.

He speaks his mind. He ignores the laughter from the crowd and the jokes from the interviewer. He just stares at him when he says "it actually makes sense" knowing, that he is 100x smarter than him.
@@coolnamebro i think mostly its that he knows hes playing he game, you gotta do what yo gotta do and you know, people can and will take the piss out of you. people taking the piss is ok, if you cant handle peope taking the piss, your not much of an irishman if you ask me
Shane has a special place in my heart. I wonder what his intellect would have been if he lived a sober life. Despite the poison of chronic chemicals to his body, he acheived musical genious and admiration, of which most humans will never know RIP SM.💔
Then he would have been an every greater storyteller singer-songwriter and so would the most brilliant Phil Lynott & Rory Galagher, Jimi Hendricks, and Jim Morrison but they paid a very high price for the stunning amazing works that they had produced in their far too short lives By the way all of those great men al had a tuck of Irish in them and that is a recorded fact
I actually liked this interview. Thought that Doherty guy made the best of a very delayed interviewee. Slow but wise. And how can anyone not love Shane here? A gentle soul indeed.
People should enjoy what he has brought to the table. Who are we to judge (people are people), he's done more than most and his music impresses...you can truly relate to it. Shane if you read this shit, you are who you are, but you're a true talent and we are lucky to have you!
"Keith Richards is doing fine" is my favorite line ! Even with slurred speach and a slow delivery, Shane is highly intelligent and deeper than any super kwik, slik, prik media type presenter.
I like McGowan, interviewers always seem to be snide with him, trying to make him look silly or depict him as the charicature 'rock star'/alcoholic etc. But he is a very genuine, honest man and that comes across here.
Poor Shane, love him. Its too bad the interviewer cant be bothered to let him answer. He might answer slowly but he does come out with a lot of genius and people are surprised by that with his slurred speech and slow responses. Its sad to see the intelligence, and also the suffering written across his face..
They could of got someone with a bit of intelligence to interview him. Ask a question but have the manners to wait for the answer. He tried to make him look daft but ended up making himself look like a fool. I absolutely loved Shane. A very genuine fella that's why so many people loved him
so many interesting questions one could ask this genius artist - i mean, he would not even let Shane finish answering what music he listens to which was very interesting - in fact Shane had to carry on during the interviewers interruption....and i also like Johnny Cash....... anyway, he is a really lovely person and a total gentleman, that is how he comes across does Mr. Shane MacGowan.
i rember when he lauched at me in 1977..thank god he was drunk n i sidestepped him..then i recognised him in a flyer n thought thats the eejit that threw a punch at me..but i forgive him ..his music speakes for itself
Pisses me off too , Shane there was no airs and graces , bless him , the most real man l ever watched or listened too , and I’ll add stole my heart at 16 yrs old , now I’m 64 and devastated at he’s Passing 😢😢😢❤love you Forever
Incredible man Shane macgawen smart intelligent genius.. in spite of his drugs and drinking.. he’s an legend..crock of Gold was a great watch into this man incredible humble beginnings..a beautiful man with a beautiful mind a gentle soul much loved ❤
Shane McGowan was one of the most widely 9:06 intelligent that has been on this planet . He will always be remembered for his charm his truthful Ness his singing his poetry his drawings and his thoughtful nice understanding to society who treated everyone equal not matter what they possessed x😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅xwhat a guy he will always be remembered big time x
When Shane told you to f. off it was never said in a nasty mean manner, Shane was a gentle soul, a kind and caring man, a very honest man, a follower of Jesus, Shane had no edges, the vast majority loved Shane, his songs, his stories and they loved the brilliant band The Pouges
I feel sad listening to Shane but also in awe of what he says and how he answers the stupid questions with brilliance mixed with humility. Reminds me a little of Brendan Behan, another troubled but brilliant mind and genius, though Behan had undiagnosed, uncontrolled diabetes that was often mistaken for drunkenness, he suffered diabetic comas that damaged his brain. Behan was in bad shape in the pub interview and died a few weeks later, but his wit and intelligence still shone through. Another genius, very sad.
i thought jack was alright, he seems geniunely interested in shane and his music, rather than the usual journalists who just talk about his drinking. Shanes the best!!!!!
there is indeed a terrible sadness in his eyes. a man can lose a limb, and take pain killers for months.. but if a man loses his sweetheart, then he'll bring himself near death
i meet him in lillies awhile ago,very nice chap,i was askn a m8 for a smoke and shane leant over and goes "here m8".he smokes silk cut purple btw.peace
I am a 56 year old American headbanger, psychedelic 70's, trippin in HS, Ex-druggy, Ex-alchy and I can relate to Shane so much. The dude drinks and that is that and he did dope and I understand him very well. I hadn't heard of the Pogues until just a few weeks ago. Now I am so diggin them. Thank you Shane McGowan. I love you.
andthecracks1 I would not change any of it. I didn't stop because I didn't like it, To come out on the other side of addiction has instilled a gratitude and appreciation of this God given life. Colors seem to be brighter. Now I just want to help others.
That he was honoured with the street parade through Dublin with so many people paying their respects says it all. How often has that happened in any of our lifetimes apart from those born into royalty. Although it was through the night here in NZ I watched it all as it was so captivating and
It was so true what Shane said about the way we Irish were treated when I first went to London I was 15 and the way alot of young Irish men used to stand in the sidewalk in cricklwood broad way to get work sometimes they might be 40 people standing there and sometimes English workers passing in there vans would shout anti Irish slogans at us ya one day we got a start and the job was in Soho and I still remember the sign saying no blacks no Irish and no dogs and also went to another job in Chelsea and we went into a pub at dinner time went to call a couple of pints and was told no working cloths when he heard my accent so I said to him they are other people in working cloths drinking just over there who were on the same job as we were just as dirty as us he just said no Irish in here that was my first time seen what racist is it went on a lot back then I no the IRA done alot if damage and killings back then but that was one percent of Irish yet we all were painted with the one brush I haven't been in London for years now I wonder if it has changed
Nobody has actually found an example of these signs you mention. Not even a photograph of one. There was a mockup someone made of what one may have looked like made for some exhibition or another, about what they may have looked like. That's as close as we can get.
@@jasonallen6081thank you for correcting this lie. I moved to Cricklewood in 85 aged 19 and queued up with 50 other older lads to be picked up by vans and taken to building sites to do the sh!t jobs for little money. The ones doing the exploiting, who ran the sites were always overweight Irish guys, who sometimes would refuse to pay you, tell you to F off. I experienced absolutely NO racism. However, in Ireland the country that elbowed me out, but neither education or money, I was a nobody and couldn't get work anywhere, cos I came from wrong side of town and didn't know anyone with power.
They don't make them like shane no more.....and if they do ....they sure don't let them on TV any more...forget the life style he lived... the guy wrote some of the best songs ever
am I in the minority here in thinking Jack was a decent interviewer? He clearly respects Shane and was encouraging him to have higher esteem of himself.
Me and my mate were at a hotel bar in Glasgow. The comedian Jack Dochert was there with his cronies. My mate shouted over "Hi Jack" jack was like " oh hi" My mate was a bit pissed. He kept shouting over to him, by now jack was ignoring him. Then jack and his team were leaving the bar and as he passed us my pal said " hey Jack not seen you on TV for a while? Jack docherty shouted back" I have a new show and will be back on tv next month but need to go now" My mate shouted back.. " Jack?" " yes what is it?" " any chance you could be funny in this one?" 😂😂😂
15 tabs of acid a day !! Fuck me I've had a few in my time but that would be mind bending . If you hammer drugs long enough your mind gets hazy and you can't get things out . You can see shane here is ruined by them , I'm still fighting my shit but I can see how he's struggling to say what he means in a plausible way !
Did he say "I tried to convince the Russians and bastards of the worthlessness of American imperialism"? :D Anyway I love how he's looking at the totally stunned interviewer after that like 'you didn't expect that did you'
He liked John McCormack, other famous opera singers and soul music. But he mainly listened to Irish music of various genre. Oh, he also liked Led Zeppelin.
the more and more interviews i see that he does it just makes me mad , Shane MacGowan is fucking one of a kind and always will be forever these fuck sticks that make jokes of him and the lifestyle he lives should go roit all they want is ratings when shane only wants people to hear his music and what he belives in at heart fuckin suites they will never get it
His parents had aspirations for him. He went to the same Prep School as Dan Stevens. His parents had aspirations for him. He’s self taught and incredibly well read.
He's got a little bit of blood level in his alcohol. Wow...I'm speechless. Not sad, because it was his choice, not surprised too many like him out there like Ozzy, and Keith richards, not a tragedy because he's doing what he wants, just a bit strange someone chooses to live like this...he could have so much more. He doesn't look too happy. It's like he IS the drugs. An amazing train wreck. Never mind, Shane is dead. Ozzy and Keith outlived Shane and still preform. Shane died and even his wife has trouble mourning him. How can anyone feel sad for a person who simply didn't care enough about his own life?
@@123YMR both drug addicts. Ozzy wrote, composed, directed and staged all his performances. IDK what you're point is, but an addict is an addict regardless of what they do. Neither has more talent than the other when they are both high af.
@@heidithomas5455 Ozzie didn't write music or play an instrument. "All 4 members of the classic Sabbath lineup shared songwriting credit equally, but it’s a badly kept secret that Tony Iommi wrote almost all the music and Terry Butler wrote almost all the lyrics." I agree Ozzie was a class performer, he put on a good show. Shane MacGowan was a troubled individual to begin with and suffered with anxiety.
As a fan from the earliest days, I so much want him to say "I do this because I have things to say. I've never found an outlet like music that enables me. I'm going to go kicking and screaming to my end. This is all I want." Asshole.
You can tell he's not comfortable in interviews, but his honesty and integrity shines through, and he is articulate, poetic and brilliant. One of the good guys.
It's a car crash interview. The interviewer meant no malice but he fucked it up like an amateur.
the great and blessed Shane MacGowan had no corners, he was brutally honest and also a very holy man, God grant his soul eternal peace in heaven
You would travel far and wide to find a nicer more genuine human being than shane .. exceptionally talented guy and the most honest kindest person
He has been called Alcoholic, Genius, Songwriter, Poet etc........regardless of all the monachers, the one thing he is, has and always will be is.....BRUTALLY HONEST and I love Shane Mac for that........XOXOXOXOX!
Very true.
Shane is a very honest and humble man , respect to him
Why? They say the same about a lot of people who are clean and sober. Besides, Shane threw his life away. Ended up in a wheelchair, then bedridden and eating through a tube. There's nothing to respect in that.
R.I.P Shane ya legend Ireland will miss you ❤

Nobody could disagree with you on those 3 very important points, along with being a songwriting genius he was also a miracle man
A genius .
A school couldn't contain him
Shane needed a brilliant teacher to help.him.
He created his own school.a true Poet

If you've never been an alcoholic you will never understand how much he wouldn't want to be there, he will be feeling sick and not wanting to be seen
I agree.
He was also incredibly shy and hated doing interviews. These factors weren't ideal for a singer in a successful band.
Who´s that guy who is enjoying the great honour of talking with a living legend? Shane is above all of us, in all its meanings.
so many interesting questions one could ask this genius artist - i mean, he would not even let Shane finish answering what music he listens to which was very interesting - in fact Shane had to carry on during the interviewers interruption....and i also like Johnny Cash....... anyway, he is a really lovely person and a total gentleman, that is how he comes across does Mr. Shane MacGowan.
Great attitude Josh. People from all countries have their weaknesses...Shane has some weaknesses, but also some amazing talent.
Thank God for original talented geniuses with heart like Shane MacGowan.
Thos Robert says he is an intolerable person - I'll pray for you .
Prob my favorite MacGowen interview...he's very with it, but also very stunned at the same time.

That he was honoured with the street parade through Dublin with so many people paying their respects says it all. How often has that happened in any of our lifetimes apart from those born into royalty. Although it was through the night here in NZ I watched it all as it was so captivating and
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Shane McGowan walks on water.
Turns wine into whiskey 🥃
Can you imagine Shane n Oliver Reed hanging out in a Pub in Ireland drinking n getting drunk together. RIP Shane
"I was convincing the Russian ambassador of the worthlessness of the American imperialism." Shane McGowan @7:38
It was so true what Shane said about the way we Irish were treated when I first went to London I was 15 and the way alot of young Irish men used to stand in the sidewalk in cricklwood broad way to get work sometimes they might be 40 people standing there and sometimes English workers passing in there vans would shout anti Irish slogans at us ya one day we got a start and the job was in Soho and I still remember the sign saying no blacks no Irish and no dogs and also went to another job in Chelsea and we went into a pub at dinner time went to call a couple of pints and was told no working cloths when he heard my accent so I said to him they are other people in working cloths drinking just over there who were on the same job as we were just as dirty as us he just said no Irish in here that was my first time seen what racist is it went on a lot back then I no the IRA done alot if damage and killings back then but that was one percent of Irish yet we all were painted with the one brush I haven't been in London for years now I wonder if it has changed
Nobody has actually found an example of these signs you mention. Not even a photograph of one. There was a mockup someone made of what one may have looked like made for some exhibition or another, about what they may have looked like. That's as close as we can get.
@@jasonallen6081thank you for correcting this lie.
I moved to Cricklewood in 85 aged 19 and queued up with 50 other older lads to be picked up by vans and taken to building sites to do the sh!t jobs for little money.
The ones doing the exploiting, who ran the sites were always overweight Irish guys, who sometimes would refuse to pay you, tell you to F off.
I experienced absolutely NO racism.
However, in Ireland the country that elbowed me out, but neither education or money, I was a nobody and couldn't get work anywhere, cos I came from wrong side of town and didn't know anyone with power.
God bless you Shane, you saw straight through the qunt interviewer
They don't make them like shane no more.....and if they do ....they sure don't let them on TV any more...forget the life style he lived... the guy wrote some of the best songs ever
Shane is awesome
well who is this guy to interview a legend like Shane?
makin a fool of himself i think!
Love that man 🙏🏽
am I in the minority here in thinking Jack was a decent interviewer? He clearly respects Shane and was encouraging him to have higher esteem of himself.
IainDowieMask well if that is what you seen. OPEN YOUR FKN EYES.
are you really that stupid?
I think the interviewer is a test😂
A twat not test
Am i mistaken or is there a terrible sadness in his eyes.
Me and my mate were at a hotel bar in Glasgow. The comedian Jack Dochert was there with his cronies. My mate shouted over "Hi Jack" jack was like " oh hi"
My mate was a bit pissed. He kept shouting over to him, by now jack was ignoring him. Then jack and his team were leaving the bar and as he passed us my pal said " hey Jack not seen you on TV for a while? Jack docherty shouted back" I have a new show and will be back on tv next month but need to go now"
My mate shouted back.. " Jack?"
" yes what is it?"
" any chance you could be funny in this one?" 😂😂😂
@@coolnamebro yep he did and jack docherty went back to not being funny
Just like Jack 😂😂
Good interview thanks! Good interviewer for once!!!
Brilliant, re Why he ate the Beach Boys album. very accurate
Love him
Great interview!
Stupid questions.. pathetic... Shane was a legend..RIP.
Drink and drugs destroy but he was a very astute person
"Never argue with an imbicile."
Shane McGowan was too smart for the porridge wog.
i,d have said, "and, how much have you got jack?", but then, shanes a gent
15 tabs of acid a day !! Fuck me I've had a few in my time but that would be mind bending . If you hammer drugs long enough your mind gets hazy and you can't get things out . You can see shane here is ruined by them , I'm still fighting my shit but I can see how he's struggling to say what he means in a plausible way !
Did he say "I tried to convince the Russians and bastards of the worthlessness of American imperialism"? :D Anyway I love how he's looking at the totally stunned interviewer after that like 'you didn't expect that did you'
He doesn't say 'bastards' he says 'Ambassador'
Shane-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing wrong with being friends of your enemy.
So frustrating when his answers are cut off. I really wanted to hear him continue the list of musicians he listened to.
He liked John McCormack, other famous opera singers and soul music. But he mainly listened to Irish music of various genre. Oh, he also liked Led Zeppelin.
He doesn't really promote himself always plays it down but still v. aware of his talent and capabilities
Shane looks so gentle
he looks forever drunk
He looks clouded, permanently.

Love ya Shane
The guy wears his humanity on his sleeve..
the more and more interviews i see that he does it just makes me mad , Shane MacGowan is fucking one of a kind and always will be forever these fuck sticks that make jokes of him and the lifestyle he lives should go roit all they want is ratings when shane only wants people to hear his music and what he belives in at heart fuckin suites they will never get it
Where are you shane? Between 6th and 7th Saturn ring
Don`t matter, he wrote great songs, and he sings like an alligator.
They don’t get it. RIP Shane
They’re embarrassing themselves, don’t have a clue.
His parents had aspirations for him. He went to the same Prep School as Dan Stevens. His parents had aspirations for him. He’s self taught and incredibly well read.
LEGENDDDD
This is Shane MacGowan
Play this at 1.5x
He's got a little bit of blood level in his alcohol. Wow...I'm speechless. Not sad, because it was his choice, not surprised too many like him out there like Ozzy, and Keith richards, not a tragedy because he's doing what he wants, just a bit strange someone chooses to live like this...he could have so much more. He doesn't look too happy. It's like he IS the drugs. An amazing train wreck.
Never mind, Shane is dead. Ozzy and Keith outlived Shane and still preform. Shane died and even his wife has trouble mourning him. How can anyone feel sad for a person who simply didn't care enough about his own life?
He is who he is man.
Shane was a writer, poet, artist, singer, musician. Ozzy is a singer.
@@123YMR both drug addicts. Ozzy wrote, composed, directed and staged all his performances. IDK what you're point is, but an addict is an addict regardless of what they do. Neither has more talent than the other when they are both high af.
@@heidithomas5455 Ozzie didn't write music or play an instrument.
"All 4 members of the classic Sabbath lineup shared songwriting credit equally, but it’s a badly kept secret that Tony Iommi wrote almost all the music and Terry Butler wrote almost all the lyrics."
I agree Ozzie was a class performer, he put on a good show. Shane MacGowan was a troubled individual to begin with and suffered with anxiety.
@@heidithomas5455 Shane MacGowan was a literary genius, he won a prestigious literary scholarship to Westminster school at age 11.
@1ngjoxsh Channel 5 UK, Jack Doherty is from Scotland though.
So you're telling me Flock of seagulls are shit???
soz buddy boy me tinks me is gonna have 2 remind u and all the other readers out there, alf garnett pmsl
You the man
hes in the same boat as ozy right now
As a fan from the earliest days, I so much want him to say "I do this because I have things to say. I've never found an outlet like music that enables me. I'm going to go kicking and screaming to my end. This is all I want." Asshole.
