bez is not on gear, hes never had a heroin habit. Did you know despite all the drugs hes caned he has never smoked tobacco either? True the effects of being the hedonists of the xtacy era does defo show now but bez is a legend...dragged himself up and out of the hard streets of salford thru tunes even though he couldnt play an instrument. think of the things hes seen and the life hes lived...not bad for a salford boy i reckon. An also why do people feel the need to slag off people in such a personal way all the time. A sad reflection of the times we live in. Big up Bez!!!
Thank fuck I stopped doing E`s and shit when I was young , looking at Bez now what a wreck . I was a MAD FOR IT sweating like a cunt top off raver way back when 88-91 to be precise , But now I'm a old fart granddad . RAVE ON
revol148 Bez lived a tough life when he was young, kicked out at the age of 16, went to prison twice at a young age. He changed his life completely, read his book freaky dancing , great read
Legend..! this man is as real as you can get. Respectful and a Gentleman, regardless of how he appears to others and those that knock him, he looks happy and has lived..! Done more with his life than some of us can only dream of.!
I don't think he is and he has basically said as much with admitting he has being bankrupt twice. I think he is a fucking moron after watching this tbh.
Bez isn't 'thick', he know what he's doing. He's earning between £150,000 and £200,000 a year. Probably a hell of a lot more than most of you reading this!
Absolute Star Bez Followed you and the Mondays all my life and my 3 Kids and Wife now Adore you thank you for making my years so happy lol Respect Forever
I've done as many pills as bez from back in the day and I'm ok. People need to get off his case as that was the life back then. I run my own business now and do fine. I am not as sharp as I could be but don't regret a thing. Big up bez and shean. That's what the 80's and 90's were about and at least can say I lived my life.
@@greenaum just read Shaun’s new book he said Bez would pop no less than 5 Es at a time along with many different vitamin supplements each time before going on stage
Yeah did fuck all.... Except practically imported an entire youth culture into the north west, created the vibes in a legendary Manchester Club the Hacienda and that culture has now circumnavigated the globe. Yeah not much there - legend
Someone who lives life pretty as he wants to, not often you see that. Nice enough bloke. Said hello to him at Glasto, trying to shake his hand freaked him a bit though, it was 2:30 am .
I love this dude! He's so down to earth and so honest. He's never pretended to be anything he's not, and he just is who he is. People tend to think he's a bit dim, but he's actually a pretty smart guy. I don't like how the guy interviewing him kept on cutting him iff and talking over the top of him though.
This is like the antithesis of listening to the happy mondays. If Happy Mondays are the night out then this video is the come down thre morning after. ps love Bez
Just a shame no one came to help him organise his finances , how many people in small, medium or large business's of the music nature who are clued up on finances ?? Its easy to let success of a business drown out the important part of tax which eventually catches up to you as it did with myself years ago, BEZ is is a modest, genuine, and humble man I love him to bits !!
There are exceptions of course, but the idea of not using a credit card, of saying to yourself "no, that costs too much. I'm not buying it", of using cash (paper not plastic) is right up my street.
Interesting indeed!...cheers Bez for all those great memories having seen you guys across the Country many times!!...Good one trying to get Martin to admit to where the money is coming from and the need for change! Into what though would be the million dolla' question??
To be fair in his case it was pure luck, he didn't exactly single handedly guide The Monday's to a record and publishing deal (he probably didn't even know what they were) and the reason he gets that money is because Shaun insisted on giving him points he wasn't actually entitled to. I love Bez but it was pure luck and not brains that got him to that position. Shawn was the one with the brains who saw the potential in having Bez on stage, because the rest of the band were musicians they couldn't understand the point of having a non musician on stage, Shawn was definitely the brains of the outfit
@Ian Mangham Type in a Happy Monday's song and then type in "Live" after it Is that a bunch of holograms playing the instruments? No it is indeed them, not very bright are you?

@@hyena131 To describe Bez and/or The Happy Mondays as a mediocrity/mediocrities is being bloody generous. That said; his distrust of the ultra capitalist system suggests that he's less stupid than most. Shame that the drugs have obviously taken their toll on him.

shook hands with bez,a foto n had a little chat with him,whilst he was on decks in a club in malmo sweden,bout 10yr ago...really pleasant,but his characterists were exactly the same..seemed absolute off his cake...but reckon thats how he is,and how hes always has been..just a nice lad.
I met Bez today, in the Healthy Unicorn Shop in Manchester X X X They sell healthy food and non toxic household products there. He had a selfie with me too X X X
Remember not knowing who Bez was when he came into a place I was djing in and came over and started chatting for a while. Wasn't til loads of folk started asking for pics with him I had to ask someone who he was.
I like how the host and the editing is trying to make it like they are hitting him hard with the tough questions, but all this stuff has been out there for decades because Bez has always been a open book and owns his mistakes and all.
Fantastic guy, love him, had to watch (listen to) the video three times to figure out what he was saying because "English" is not my native language. 😂❤
@@michaelobrien9825 I don't even remember writing that, I think I must have been having a try at sarcasm, I never heard the 1st album, I got hold of a greatest hits around 2010, they never really took off down here in Australia, few good songs though, I doubt Bez was even present during recordings.

Never thought I'd see Bez discussing international economics 😁

I bet Bez swapped a bit of Cabbage for some Beers!

Really?
Dancing with Maracas, out of my head on E and Whizz is still on my bucket list.
BANG ON..👍. Sod the haters & he can do what he wants!
Seems like a very financially aware person. I think he's a legend to be honest. Good man.
A financially aware person who was 2 seconds away from advocating for socialism 🤪
Everyone from Manchester is financially aware lol
Financially aware yet made bankrupt twice 🤷🏼♂️
I don't think he is and he has basically said as much with admitting he has being bankrupt twice. I think he is a fucking moron after watching this tbh.
That studio is a set up bad, Bez looks like he’s in a wheelchair
Give it 3 years
LMAO!
He`s slouching,that`s all.
🤣
I thought the same thing. Had to do a double take.
Top man. Doesn't pretend to be anything other than what he is and knows we are all getting screwed by the man. Bez for PM.
He'd get my vote and I don't even like his dancing!
You gotta love Bez, I'd vote for him as priminister..
Bez isn't 'thick', he know what he's doing. He's earning between £150,000 and £200,000 a year. Probably a hell of a lot more than most of you reading this!
Just under 90 after tax and outgoings funny last week a close friend said that on radio said he’s no fool, since he got his shxt together.
Love Bez, He keeps life simple and is genuine with it......Legend
Poor Bez, he just wants to dance.
Paul Ivey actually lmao
Poor bez over 100k a year and all he has ever done is be a shit dancer!!!! Fuck me bust my arse for minimum wage every week Poor me I say!!!!
@@thecakecadet8450 yep he was shite dancer , just right place right time but a nice bloke all the same ,
There's nothing poor about Bez .
Dance or dunce?
Im sure if Bez danced outside Iceland with his Maraccas he'd boost sales...what a star this bloke is.
I like bez he seems realy genuine 😎
Great guy. Honest. Empathatic and knowledgeable. He has had problems with money but who hasn't, even the richest people have.
Met him at Starry Skies festival camping with his family, lovely family guy, top bloke.
@darrenstrabge2244 sends his son to public school....ah well.
Bez. Mad as a box of frogs! Always makes me smile!

Still looks like he's coming up on a good strong e.

He has that look because he was once in a coma it's quite common
He probably was...
Tbf probably is 😂
Absolute gem of a man.
Bez keeping proper accounts. I've heard it all now.
I've done as many pills as bez from back in the day and I'm ok.

@@danieloneill9560 Sammy Davis Jew Near. See what I done they're?!
In my opinion anyone taking part in this needs money. Otherwise they wouldn’t be there.
5:49 Bez looked like he was getting so fed up of being interrupted.
Hearing that Bez earns over a hundred grand a year is a slap in the face for working stiffs everywhere. Where did we go wrong in life?
Brilliant, kids of today this is a cultural icon
great interview, and how can you not love Bez
watching ole bez on these things always cheers me up // hero
Someone who lives life pretty as he wants to, not often you see that. Nice enough bloke. Said hello to him at Glasto, trying to shake his hand freaked him a bit though, it was 2:30 am .

he kinda looks like Ian Brown ('s lunatic uncle) wierd...
he is aging very badly because of the abuse drugs for decades .
I thought he was?
Its his defined cheekbones
Monkey man, I Litterally just seen your comment on sugar spun sister about Johnny marrs tribute haha small world

Ird say bummed is a classic album ,in my opinion anyway .
Great guy when met OTB.... Not fazed but genuine and cool... i has the privilege to shake his hand. A Legend !
Love his voice, accent, slang and not really changed from when he was young.
Bez is as real as ya get lovely bloke! 👌🏻
In not using credit cards and paying for things in cash only when he can afford them, Bez is far far more astute than most of the British population.
That's very true.
Aldi and Lidl should be in a bidding war to get Bez on the adverts!
Ahh ya have to love bez , such a sweetheart like how could u be mad at bez the chaps a harmless lovable dude 👌

Looks like he’s coming up on some good gear… I live by Bez financial guide. Don’t do credit and only spend what I’ve got.
This is such a weird interview. Why is this interview even happening?

Tax a hink 😂
Earned between 100 to 200k last year. Lucky man when the PM gets about 150K a year and a headache job!
Love Bez. Good bloke.
That was extremely educational. I have no idea about financial stuff.
hate credit cards,never had one thankfully
Bez...the biggest blag artist of them all!!! Legend!!!!
He's certainly a meat and two veg man basically a down to earth 🌟 love him too bits
He's got his head screwed on 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

would love to rave with Sir Bez in Ibiza to loose fit!!
A great honest man
Bez could tell some proper stories 👍
I love how honest he is

What a nice bloke.
