Rest In Peace Shane you were one in a billion no one could do it like you both lyrically and spirtually
Although the drugs have had their toll, I enjoyed this interview. He is very loyal and deep, loves his mum and dad and writes and sings very cool music. What more do people want. I like him very much.
R.I.P Shane. Always genuine and brutally honest. Sleep well
Shane is a beautiful guy. His humanity and wit are priceless. Then there's the music, the amazing music and most importantly his lyrics and the belief at which he sings them. He's Irish and a Punk Rebel Poet, we need more of these in these times.
You have been reading my mind, you speak my own words
Strombo is a great interviewer because he talks to Shane like a human being and not a joke like most people do
Still remember when this interview came out. George couldn't get ahold of Shane. They gave him his mother's number. She gave him the pub owners number. Sad but amazing at the same time
Nicely said yeah most interviewers just judging him
Shane would sit and have a pint with you...hes not full of himself and in person hilarious.
👍👍👍
@@TimothyOBrien1958 thats a little extreme, Id say
Wow. To the interview the guy, and at his local. That’s an honour.
Am gonna have Shane’s Laugh as my Ringtone.Sleep easy Shane and Thanks for the Music and the memories . God bless
This man will be in our hearts forever with the music he has given us .
He looks how he looks a fucking living legend. Long live you old boy 🍻
You can tell shane was happy to do this interview. He was always honest, but in this interview, he was happy also.
Interviewer is brilliant. Shane never easy to deal with but talks to him really well.
I met Shane McGowan on the street in Dublin. I was drunk. He was drunk. We took photos outside the GPO. He was so nice. So obliging.. making great photo suggestions. I'll never forget it.
He is a lovely soul. Even though I never saw him live (except on a stage in Montreux), you can tell here from the videos that he is a beautiful soul !
A difference guy frim what he portrayed. Humble, kind, generous and non-judgemental. Honest and Sincere.
How did he survive the madness of it all? Suppose the drink was his refuge from all the BS, his only way of coping. And of course, his soulmate Victoria who he spent most of his life with. A lady who loved him for who he was and he her ❤❤!!
A beautiful soul now at peace. R.I.P.
it always amazes me that this man is still alive he's been pickled since for ever
+frustratednomad He is a walking miracle. He should have been dead DECADES ago! Glad he's not though. I met him once, said hello and he shook my hand.
one things for sure when he does die they will be able to preserve him in a jar he's all ready pickled just needs vinegar
***** He is worth a LOT of money. Most men with a lot of money don't have too much trouble finding a spouse.
He will be 60 next year, living legend!
+frustratednomad He's been slagged of for being a pussy drinker here, no messin. I;m taling about Ireland, the shit hole...that's why we drink. He'sthe greatest by far
This is probably the most sober i've ever seen him.
I love this man.Not only has he incredible talent and gives so much joy with his music ,he is humble and real and does not deserve these mindless comments regarding his personal choices he makes in life , regarding his drinking, drugs or even the disgusting comments I have seen about his teeth ! Human beings can be cruel and judgemental a very nasty trait in my opinion. My very best wishes to you shane ,your music brings me great joy my dear ..xxx
Kay Camille good call 👍👍👍👍
When you are right. You are right!!
he is a fucking disgrace. ... how much do YOU drink? .... jesus
@@markmarsh27 go fuck yourself. While are you to judge. Fuck, fuck off
@@markmarsh27 wanker!
This was a lovely chat with shane ..one of the best
Shane is a genius. So were a lot of famous poets. Lord Byron was a "hellraiser" too. To be a fantastic, sensitive writer, that really understands the human psyche is to be in touch with your own feelings and emotions. You pour them into your work, the cost is putting up a wall made up of substances to numb you from your own hyper sensitive emotions. I always look at Shane's eyes, and they always look sad.
Yes, HE does have sad eyes. Because he is AWARE. He is fully aware of the human disaster ! Aware of the evil that man can produce....
By the way, I am also a hyper-sensitive. This is why I love Shane so much, because I understand how he may feel... Your comment is very shrewd and you have a very good analysis.
He makes sense in his own awesome kind of way
And that laugh is priceless
Poet Shane will be appreciated more after he is gone,,it's always the same..a genius, who will be remembered.
Always drunk but happy, what a genius! God bless him, from France
A very talented, friendly and humble man.
A national treasure, thanks Shane
God love ya Shane.
He is who he is and doesn’t ask anyone to pay for his keep so respect 👍
wow! Do you know what this man has brought to music?
I Hear many years of struggles by my dad. Shane, your life, keep singing. Your gift to the WORLD.
"The funeral home is in walking or carrying distance" The hilariously dark humor of Shane!
best singer song writer of all time his songs are timeless compared to the absolute utter nonsense they play on the radio these days long live shaneo
Music they've been doing since the end of the 90's is UTTER shit ! Shane and the Pogues are outstanding ! The OBVIOUS ! Plus I am in love with Shane (hee, hee !). But well : he has Victoria ! Problemo.
Shane always love you your brilliant
I remember one of the times I saw him with the Popes back in '99 (?) It took him about an hour and a half to get on stage- completely sauced (more than I had ever seen)...but he sang through 2 hours straight like it was nothin'...he defies medical science.
Saw the Pogues about 8 years ago. Shane fell down, finished the song, then never returned. Sad that that performance is the last I’ll see of his. Such is life.
Really nice interview you can tell the only reason he's slow on the late late is because of pressure . Just goes to show what the environment can do
Shane the legend! I was brought up listening to the pogues and was lucky enough to see them live a few times. Some great memories when I hear a pogues song now 💚
Please god I will meet this great man one day for a shake hands and tell him hes a legend
Best laughter ever! Love Shane!!
There is no doubt Shane is the best singer/song writer of a generation,whether he`s Irish or English
Hahahahahaha!
Mock you,but get away from the looks and listen to the music
Ian McGillivray I guess its an opinion but im not saying hes bad, i just think there are better
Dick Phuck A lot lot better mate
The best? I wouldn't agree with that. Lot's of good songwriters of his generation, unless you're narrow minded enough only to listen to Pogues or Shane on his own?
He seems relatively healthy here and lucid, good interview
this is proof of magic. this man has written some of the most intelligent and beautiful songs ever. next time you walk into a shit brown bar, pay some respect to the old fool in the back corner. he could be some kind of Baudelaire.
+deadbutdreaming Shane plays banjo and 12 string guitar like no one else can. He plays piano also, check out some of his concerts on u-tube
@deadbutdreaming in the early days he played 12 string guitar. Fact. Read here comes everybody by james fearnley of the pogues
@deadbutdreaming I think you're strange
@Eoin Donnan it was james fearnley who played piano in the pogues. They got shane to mime it for the video
1:03 something about the way he says that is really nice. maybe it's just nice to see him so coherent and reflective.
Gorgeous Interview 🤗🌟
You could tell ole Shane loved this interview. George is a class act.
I can only imagine that Shane keeps going by attending the 'Keith Richards Fitness Centre.'
God bless him!
Brilliant interview. Very well done by the interviewer.
George is a great interviewer.
Up in the top ten of all time
+gno nimo He's dreadful
+gno nimo Shane is brilliant
MacGowan is an undeniable talent. Alcoholism erodes talent. I wish him the best.
Couldn't disagree more. It's a generalisation, for some it opens up doors that they wouldn't have walked through without it, Macgowan for sure is one of these, when you deal in melancholy as your muse, as he does, then it allows him to stay in that state for extended periods, it's the self destruction, the eroding of talent as you say, that allows him to be creative. The talent has to be there originally obviously but when it is and it's based in sadness as his is, then it's the ignition for some of the greatest songs ever written.
@@tommydowling9 I think this is all just romantic hogwash, you don't need to destroy yourself to make great art. You don't need to be destitute, you don't need to be sad and depressed. All you need to do is feel and be genuine, and live the life that comes from that. If you're creative, if you have talent, if you feel things through the course of your life that are worth expressing, then you can express it. I think it's more appropriate to say Shane fell into alcoholism because or in addition to the traits I've listed, not the other way around. You can play with excess no doubt and still make it out fine, but when you are dealing with addiction you now walk with a limp, you're handicapped. Another person worth mentioning I think is Jim Morrison. He was doing very well for himself with drugs including alcohol, until the alcohol took over him slowly and then...Anyway that's just my two cents. Be creative first and foremost. Indulge in substances if it helps, but addiction isn't romantic, and it certainly doesn't help you achieve your goals. Addicts will tell you this themselves. But what do I know, really? I'd just rather advocate a somewhat healthy lifestyle. Lots of respect for Shane but I agree with the OP here
@@sunkintreeA healthy balanced lifestyle will breed healthy balanced thoughts and consequently the reflected artistry. In creation, destruction plays a very significant role to the art. Firstly, destroying the archetype of what has already been done by others, or by what has been achieved by the artist himself, and secondly, the renewed perspective of creating from an original feeling or a new idea. It's no accident that the greatest artists who have ever walked the earth were considered dangerous, mad, or prolific drug users. The extremity of feeling and focus of mind which precedes all great works of art could never be realised by a "healthy lifestyle". Coleridge could never have written Khubla Khan, Blake could never have written Jerusalem, Carl Jung, Nietzsche, Van Gogh, Salvador Dahli, Hendrix etc. None of these men would have existed as pioneers if it wasn't for the dangerous, mad or prolific drug usage which propels the psyche into the destructive, from which a renewed potential for life and creation can be forged.
@@thescriptwriter824 Are you saying William Blake wasn't a bit mad? By all accounts his peers had a hard time separating his genius from his madness. And I'm certainly of a mind to call Blake a genius. I guess he wouldn't write Jerusalem but he didn't need to, Blake's pantheon of creations speak for themselves. I'm not familiar with Jerusalem or Alan Moore much but Alan Moore looks like the fringe guy in this comparison. For the rest of what you say, I can't say I have a solid argument against it. I believe in a healthy "derangement of the senses" as Rimbaud put it, I just think it's important to note the fine line between artist and self-destructive force-of-nature, and my primary point was that Shane crossed the line long ago into being too destructive for his own good. I don't know that those who are creative pioneers are so because of destructive lifestyles. Perhaps creative people are just more prone to them. Interesting nonetheless
Clanhelius enough with all the big words. It comes down to this and it’s simple. How can you write songs that are sad and sorrowful and heart wrenching unless you’ve been in that state before? Absolute dark, hopeless bitter sadness? You get those raw emotions and chills listening to a song because you relate to the sadness and feel the emotions picked up on by the other person. You might know a lot of historians....but you sure don’t know shit about humane psyche at all.....
Shane was amazing, he had issues. All the greats did. Their music is a reflection of what made them so amazing. Now show some respect and shut the hell up.
Michelle you said so brilliantly!no need for more...
last seen sober at age 5
Guess ur not celic
Still to this day very much alive! including the fact he is still a prolific genius to the heart of the Irish xxxx let him just be bless him xxx
@@bshaw8843 Celic?
B Shaw ... neither is Shane..... born in England 🏴
Willow me Crafts he’s English....
he’s about as Irish as Andy Townsend hahahaha 🏴🏴🏴😂😂
Shane is so brilliant!
Living treasure. Humble and funny.
He's adorable
at least he's happy :)
A poet then, a poet now. Listen to his songs xx
Shane is one of the best song writers of all tile
Xcuze lol good one! But you spelled "spelled" wrong! Haha!
Xcuze oh yeah. I guess your right. Sorry, I'm not that bright.
But it is confusing that spell has two past tenses and spelt is also a noun.
you spelled you're wrong.
Aww shit, I sure did. Fuck me.
Irish Legend best drunking voice i ever heard
Love this.
I believe it was 99' I was a courier in Dublin and our Christmas party was the same night Shane McGowan was to play. So I went to the show with white jeans like an idiot and fell on the floor in the moshpit which was covered in goo. The whole leg of my jeans was black with goo. The concert was great. I went to the work Christmas party after and was so jacked, jumped up on tables and yelling stuff and singing. We ended up at my bosses house, he was a Nordie. We were drunk and just kept drinking. Next thing you know I wake up , I'm in a corner and everyone is gone. My boss comes out of his room like wtf are you still doing here?! I get home real early and one of my friends Gary calls me, says he is at some hotel with Shane McGowan drinking. I dont remember the name of the hotel now but I went straight down there and there he was out of it, drinking whiskey at the bar. You couldn't understand a word he was saying. His ma came out of nowhere and took him back to his room, helping him walk. I have still never seen anyone so out of it. I have no idea how he manages to sing or write. And how he has managed to stay alive. But anyway, fair play to him.
I wouldn't stand 3 month tat way and I know what I'm talking about.
I feel pity for the hard times he was doin' himself.
He shall rest peacefully. I liked him a lot. Greets from Germany
he may be pissed but these people dont deserve to be on the same seat as him hes a legend so leave the guy alone ...when you can write songs as good as him then and only then do you deserve to knock him ..
Awww Shane :) I hate the horrid things some people have said about him. Shane is just a man who is quite immature for his age but we should respect that he has written many good songs and we still listen to songs like Fairy Tale of New York today.
Love Shane, The Pogues, and Fairytale is a-mazing.
Shane's a legend 🦁🦁👍👍
Fuck the negative people. Shane your a legend mate
Your an Irish legend, Shane.... May your Irish eyes always smile my friend!
with an English accent.
At this point, if he stopped drinking, he probably would die. And that's not a joke.
He stopped drinking and he didn't die. But he doesn't look good, I'll give you that.
@@bajer111 he hasn't completely stopped drinking
@William Mcphee is that confirmed?
@@wakeoftheflood2 Yeah it was a whole ordeal because Sinead O'Connor rang up the police
He have tried. Offcourse he has. He have had shorter times of sobriety. But he allways get back to the bottle. Its a disease.
God Bless Him x
Shane is a genius. He will be talked about long after we all go.listen to his lesser known tunes pure poetry. I think bono even said hes the best irish songwriter of ur time, even though hes not really irish
Mate he was born in Ireland lived there until he was 6 then moved to London with his Dublin born father and Tipperary born mother. He's 100 percent Irish.
No,parents Irlandais Shane est né en Angleterre vu son foutue accent.RiP Shane tu nous manques
Legend
🖤🕯RIP♡Shane MacGowan🕯🖤You'll never be forgotten❤
I love this. Great interview Srombo, we love Shane here in Ireland. His music will live on forever.
"You look back... and you're still in this band.... you're still here. Does that surprise you?"
*Extremely wry smile from Shane*
"Not really."
Lol
ME ENCANTAN SUS CANCIONES, QUE GRANDE ERES!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
Amen Shane
I like listening to Shane. He seems a real nice bloke.👍👍👍🇬🇧
Make a statue of Shane while he is alive don't be hypocritical and wait till he is dead. The man is and will always be a legend and diamond.
Great laugh Shane.
:-) nice.Thanks for sharing*
Happy Birthday 🎂 🎉 🍰 🍺 Shane happy Christmas to u have a great birthday
como nao amar SHANE MACGOWANTH
Shane is a truly innocent child-like man gouged alive by this rotten world.
Jason Grannell sooooooo true man......
He's not that innocent...
He aint innocent at all
the fuck are you talking about mate , ive never seena thing in this world more rotten than him. Sour the world might be but this man is pickled]
Wish he'd recorded an album just sat at the bar.
GENIUS.. you dont ask for it, he was struck by what the world classed as special, he was just doin his thing
WHAT? Fairytale of New York isn't as popular in the U.S.? It's HUGE in the U.S. It IS Christmas for me here in the U.S.
It's huge now, but wasn't until recent years. And in the UK it is still much, much bigger.
poetic
He was such a intelligent man inside ❤
A musical genius and a waste of a man, I admire him and feel sorry at the same time.
Handsome lads
“Weigh your press, don’t read it” wow that’s a great Tom Waits quote
My Mom was a hardcore alcoholic, I know his struggle.
God Bless Shane.😇
Saint Shane MacGowan ☘️🥂🚬🖤
RIP Shane :(
that laugh makes me smile
One of Greatest musicians
Loves to take the piss
..lol
I love how his laugh is like Ernie hahaha x
His one of best at one he do and good guy
Jesus Murphy.He makes Keith Richards look like a choir boy.
Keith Richards is not Humano..
Keith Richards ha buttato giù più alcool e più droga di questo poveraccio ma Keith è unico non è umano
I'm thinking Keith has the upper hand here.
A lovely fella, he's his own worst enemy like most of us are.
He's so funny!
up the dubs up ireland Thanks for THIS.
Addiction and genius.
Terrible sad what a down to earth chap...
That pup he’s in is in Nenagh co Tipp he goes there a lot he’s a very nice man what you see is what you get 🇮🇪☘️
Condolences Shane on the unfortunate death of your mother
I love Shane,.,, better than the rest
