[iblamesummers]

[moh459]

jeeez, I don't get their accent.

[waynesin70]

Still love this video..... & yes they are tripping!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shaun ryder & Bez did a full year, nearly everyday tripping on Micro dots.. Read shaun ryders autobiography, its awesome :)

[dalgroves10]

Lol love it. They are so honest, that is a great quality, speak the truth, even if people don't like it!

[JeXsXsXe]

Reminds me of European Vacation where Chevy Chase pulls out a translator while visiting the U.K., even though they're speaking English. lol

We need English subtitles along with the Japanese. LOL!!!!!

[gmouth4]

U R BARRED EH B A R R E D barred eh

[Boyshhh]

They look about 12 in this video haha

[ballbagvw]

OFF THEIR TITS LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

4:30 MADE MY DAY

[UKcass1]

Cheech & Chong

[MOONST0MP]

They are stoned off there tits. They look like young school kids what are in trouble at school  same as Ian Brown and John Squire do in their early interview. At least Shaun and Bez are smilin cos they are stoned. Ian and John are so fuckin miserable and shy in their interview!!

[paulhogan76]

fuck oasis n all that shit. got 2 love it happy mondays 100% shaun and bez happy happy happy mondayssssz

[sugarkaneification]

What is Shaun hiding in that huge jacket?

[briky71]

is it me or do they sound like scousers

[brndurham]

@briky71 That's a manchester accent, not scouse.

[briky71]

@brndurham i know it is.just saying they sound scouse

[fagrash]

@briky71 u dont know what scousers sound like then u fuckin cock end

[briky71]

@fagrash

sound like scousers dont they?

[isitluck15]

@briky71 is it me or do you sound like a complete mongoloid?

[briky71]

@isitluck15

think its you mate.

[AntipodeanStar]

The minute you get away from having fun and "just doin it", is the minute your music begins to stink. Thats why English music is so fucking great. If only interviewers would stop analysing and picking everything apart then examining the individual bits like a scientific examination.

[bobbitt187]

its one armed boxer and one armed boxer 2.. its a kung fu film not a cartoon you pair of fookwits

[AkyovNorthWest]

who's the interviewer? isn't she the same one who interviewed Ian Brown and John Squire?

[musiclassica]

With much respect to the Mondays, but they had better subtitled this in English.

[spiers240]

When did Ben Affleck join the Mondays?

[batmanistall]

They sound like scousers lol

[Salfordbluemoon]

@batmanistall Scousers with Salford accents? Don't be silly

[tobyn123]

@batmanistall they're mancs mancs and scousers can sound similar if you dont hear both quite often!

[bobbitt187]

@batmanistall if you know f all yeah

[budders444]

@batmanistall you mad?

[johnmoser01]

I just got into Happy Mondays. Why is every rocker from Manchester a cool ass motherfucker? 

[johnmoser01]

what's the song at 1:05?

[Fayezi]

@johnmoser01 its called wrote for luck :)

[CreeWilly]

@CoolsWilffy: bez dont really do a friggin thing, musically! hes kinda like a happy mondays hype man.

[scoutcollins]

What a bore. All due respect to Manchester, HM were overrated in every way, especially compared to that city's brighter lights.

[cyberspace123]

they look more waisted than Oasis and in their state i would definitely be waring sunglases :)

[georgeredrup]

Im sorry but they are more than stoned thats some heavy shit to get them in that state lol

[paulph12002]

Whatever they've been smoking must be pretty good.

[xXxteddy2shoesxXx]

ah shaun and bez, high as fuck, as always

[nothingupthere]

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­GH!

[usronejm]

is this same lady who did the cringeworthy squire & brown interview?poor lady, always sounds like she's about to cry with her "PLEASE GIVE ME SOMETHING TO WORK WITH HERE" voice,so depressing.and the amount of awkward silence,it's killing me...........

[scaredmonkey]

@usronejm I totally disagree. I thought her interview technique was different and made the Mondays and Stone Roses quite uncomfortable which was different to watch compared to todays interviewers who proper lick arse half the time

[usronejm]

@scaredmonkey i got the impression she made ian uncomfortable because he fancied her :) still makes me wonder what she looks like.

todays interviewers don't get to interview any proper rock stars like these were though :D

[dixon97a]

@usronejm Whos Ian ? ? ?

[lonkylaine]

they've made great music but they're cunts!

[KissMyAsthma1]

they're incredibly talkative....

[fleedermouse]

24 hour party peepulz!!!

[fleedermouse]

24 hour party peepulz!!!

[MrOvlov]

Some of us made it, some of us didn't, some of us are left battle scared, but fuck me it was good! :0)

No regrets! :0)

[BaronJacob]

check out Dirty Viv Giro to Cairo for a 'gothic' Bez!

[McPrfctday]

It's like a job or police interview! That cunt of an interviewer is on the inside.

[FrancescaUK70]

This is brilliant - I don't think they were ever sober back then but at least they lived and produced messy but amazing music.

[MrJm74]

The mans come a long way to what we all saw on I'm a Celebrity. He's managed to mature but kept a lot of what made him that Salford Lad in the video. A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE !!!!!!

[stingrayx1]

thumbs up if im a celeb get me out brought you here

[shanustheanus]

@stingrayx1 if anybody thumbs that up, they're sad acts.

Not because Shaun was on I'm a celeb, its a good show. but because the happy mondays rock, and I was hoping shaun would win. If people are sad enough to watch the back catalog of videos of people who were on it, they shouldn't have fingers for typing. Nah thats not even it. Anyone who gives someone thumbs up because they ask them to, and it's not even to do with the video content, should fuck off youtube.

[hgvneil]

nah mate ,hes always been a fuckin legend.

[santashat]

What's the song called that shaun in singing from the first part of the video ??

like the first music clip of that video

[ak556]

@santashat Wrote for luck or W.F.L

[gingy0vitus]

they both look high as fuck xD

[parfum808]

Classic. Stoners!

[carpetsandchairs]

Probably a bit stoned and acting coy in front a hot interviewer!.. some real good answers in there though.... 'the press create this image'.. and the last minute is all truth- 'just do it' - no fear...

[mufcgeorge]

stoned

[yahood66]

@leedumett444, Pills Thrills n Bellyaches was a much better album mate

[aelfredhauscarl]

This was actually footage from their last interview at the job centre.

[callumohagan]

ye i know

[JudLufc]

bez=ian brown here?

[KenzieBoyRfc2]

[magpie22]

He's the dancer

[xchampbearx]

@CoolsWilffy He plays empty maraccas!

[Boxmajor]

Bez Looks like John Bishop'''''Or John look like Bez

[Boxmajor]

Bez Looks like John Bishop

[Marcoosw0]

[paulph12002]

[neilam6]

[waynesin70]

"Tripping there bollox off"............Been a fan of the Happy mondays since the early 90's & still am to this day... Shaun "the legend" Ryder........RaVe On :)

[CharqyBaby]

They look totally baked XD

Shaun Ryder what a legend ahaha

[yyuuggps3]

LOL they look like two school boys getting told off at the headteacher's office HAH

[JSavic]

What lovely boys !

Oh the damage that drugs did to their fair complections !

[Rowenzz]

salford LADS

[waterskating]

wow can't believe how much weight Ryder has put on since this lol

[sleepypoodle]

@waterskating He's only recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism which would explain his weight gain, now that he's on thyroxine he should start to lose weight. But obviously drinking loads of booze hasn't helped much either.

[billybadbrakes]

@sleepypoodle ..the jungle's helped with the weight 2! He's on the cockroach and kanga testicle diet ...its a winner man!!

[GhibliFan1]

I was at an after Hacienda party once and was sat with a few people and Bez was there...I was tripping on acid at the time (when E's cost £25...not £3 like today...a £2 trip made financial sense), and Bez totally freaked me out. He had thousand yard stare that pierced straight through my head...it was fucking bizarre.

[lowe1677]

went school with shauny, nutter and always will be,still only lives 1 mile down road

[84zimmerman]

"i think we rape someone too"

[TheParanoidAndroid1]

How high do you think they are?? Man, what brilliant lads.

[wundery]

high

[TheShutterbugxx]

Omg so cool.

[loserboy224]

What's the song in the background

[heedihoo]

@loserboy224 WFL (Wrote For Luck)

[AndyMJF]

How thick do they sound??????.....typical english muscians lol but I loved their music

[Nerdydork666]

its good to see them here when they are young and still going strong.. shame to see that there all worn out now. the party has to end sometime.. remeber that kids.

[mileyoreilly07]

bez has lovely teeth

[cockywatchman1976]

Haha "are you striving for perfection", ITS THE FUCKING HAPPY MONDAYS!!!!! The interviewer is a fucking idiot. Funny!

[wigancasuals]

eeeed up to fuck

[cornwallgeezer]

That stupid bitch

[cornwallgeezer]

Bez is a fuckin legend!

[lemonita]

What are u hiding under this blanket, eheem sorry jacket, Shaun???

[GriefTourist]

[warchild1976]

true working class music not this middle class bulshit spoon fed twats

[oldfilikin]

[MattyBhoyNumeroUno]

how depressing is the phone ringing in the background haha

[thefutureisblueful]

@mrianlamb1 twat

[Dragone76Mr]

Look at Bez,hihihihihihi

[mrianlamb1]

thick pair of mancs

[cheryltweedyismint]

@mrianlamb1 And......?

[fleece96]

just good lads never done anything wrong

[leedumett444]

shaun and bez in 1988 bummed is a classic album its so underated

[MOONST0MP]

Ha! How young are they here?? This is funny as fuck!

[SuperGrimupnorth]

look a right pair of shifty twats,..loved the Mondays so much,..

[Goodywagon]

Oh and Shaun looks utterly terrified for his world @ 2:21. I mean look @ him, he looks like he just realised something terrible, or it was the first heroin stage of hiss tenure with the Mondays.

[Goodywagon]

Happy Mondays & Stone roses are about equals, but the Mondays have more music and up to, "Yes Please" it is all quality!

[andziks]

they'd call 'emselves the pills' boys instead. stoned by pills as f$%k. nothin' but stoned.

this is not the way you do it, oasis did way better by stopping at one point, that's why they got way further and where much more better than mondays and stone roses and blur and any other lads.

[bennyjohnhampson]

@andziks You're talking rubbish

[evieeable]

my boys mad at me Bring it back!! shrooms xxxxx

[ManFromMelbourne]

Seriously, what's so special about this band?And that Bez guy doesn't do anything. He's a bit like the British royal family. Gets paid to do nothing but party

[rollwivaswagger]

@ManFromMelbourne bez was the guy that first got the band noticed with his unique/freaky dancing, its just his character an style. without him there would be no happy mondays

[Kiddster]

@rollwivaswagger Bez was a massive part of their success, but surely their music and style and swagger, were what made them the band they were. They would have still got noticed without Bez

[RossiJenkins]

@rollwivaswagger wha????!!! i first noticed the mondays when i watched them playin live in 1985 (or 86) the nex day i went out bought "delightful" never saw any sign of marc beresford (as john peel used to call him)

The mondays was all about the sum of ALL it's parts - bummed album is truly underrated work of genious ann anyone who does not play it at least once a day every day is a faker....

peace

[gitaclick]

Bez is so cute here (and this woman is annoying..)

[ShitJitsu]

lmao they two are nutted ,the interviewr is like the fucking CID honestly she is sad as fuck:)

[mufc1970ok]

ryder what nutter,

[imperial1237]

heroes, they are great

[aazzarpretty]

Brilliant!!!

[windowlikker999]

You're all a load of online nazis, if you're gonna hate the mondays for pillin' it, insult the band and the fans and waste everybodys time niggling, why watch an interview with Shaun Ryder and bez?!

[hazor777]

@windowlikker999 :HAHAHAHA!!! I AGREE!!! , but Ive never heard of "NIGGLING",LOL!!! That will be my new term,haha!!!

[KingHotdog]

@windowlikker999 these twats need to realise the goody 2 shoes of music The Beatles took drugs , next door neighbours take drugs and family take drugs it dosent make u a bad person its an easy thing to do look at Shaun now he has done great to get into the shape he is in if u look 3 years back im proud of the guy and will be a fan forever.

[ouzodave]

I remember how Bez and Shaun were always older than me. Jesus! looking at this now they look like schoolboys to me, LOL, Rave on!

[matbellers]

[poocanoo]

[b00mhauer]

[uptightkid]

dazila2....internet tough guy. Get a life life you TWAT.

[LETSGETFUCKEDONLUCA]

Ozzies are English crims. Rule Britania you fucking cunts! Birds - shut the fuck up and make a contribution to society or fuck off!

[Jimjam1212]

These are good guys especially bez. Just down to earth lads doing what they want. Fair play to them.

[LaValseAlex]

shaun, bez, paul, tony, ian, new order, martin hanett, happy mondays (...) people who will be reminded but never forgotten

[BumbIeBoy]

This must be where guy ritche got the idea 4 those 2 divs in lock stock

[ucla4eva]

That's the same interviewer that did Ian Brown and John Squire's interview...! Who is she? Genuine question,if anyone knows the answer,please reply....

[drpuddles]

Bez sounded wrecked then :-D

Shaun sounds loads sharper than he does these days.

Conclusion: Bez had nothing to lose :-D

@dazlia2: You need to learn the difference between their and there before you start calling anyone thick. You pretentious twat.

[anorthernmonkey]

ta for uploading this, hilarious.....legends!

[Shnegeler]

The interviewer is mad annoying, I think they tolerate her pretty well.

[LockNLoadEvents]

[TheCocabelles]

That is brilliant! So funny!

[dazlia2]

no wonder the rest of the world think that the English are fucking stupid!

I'm English and dickheads like these two give us ALL a bad name!

WANKERS

[LeBabyshamble]

They are legends, they weren't Oxford graduates, if they were..then there would be a cause for concern. They are two boys in a band who provoke this kind of image...what's wrong with that? Lighten the fuck up!

[dazlia2]

Ask the rest fo the world about what English people are like and they think of dickheads like these two who cant even hold a fucking intelligent conversation with someone!

Waste of space, waste of time and a tragic waste of fucking DNA lololol!

Still, you enjoy them mate hey, at least your in like minded company lol

muppet!

[Earthling86]

go and wank over thatcher you cunt

[dazlia2]

sorry i cant mate, im too busy wanking over your dead mums pussy! lol Silly little cunt lol.........who teh fuck rattled your cage faggot boy? lmao

[gsh73la]

@dazlia2 What are you on about ? All your faves are fuckin thick ?

[dazlia2]

@LeBabyshamble

I''l tell you whats wrong with it! There SHIT lol I dont expect them to be 'Oxford graduates' but at least get a fucking EDUCATION of some description! That way, when people choose to use you as the topic of interview, you don't like like a bunch of fucking retards!

[LeBabyshamble]

Mate, don't know whether you realised...they are up to the eyeballs in drugs! I don't condone that, however I do like the music. And get an 'education' not everyone is privileged enough to get a decent one. Having read a news article on the downfall of Shaun Ryder he was a very intelligent guy, but his parents never really cared to further his education...

I am not a muppet for liking this music, their music influences me, not their lives. Fundamental difference my friend

[mrmrscosanostra]

@dazlia2 can you write songs/spearhead a youth movement?.

[dazlia2]

I'm not saying they didnt manage to "spearhead a youth movement".................what i AM saying however is all they managed to do was get other likeminded thick fuckers to follow in there footsteps!

That uis wahts wrong with this country today and why the 'youth' of today are fucking retards, criminals, vandals, antisocial muppets!

Its becuase YOU and these two weird little fuckers taught then its "cool" to act like retards, take drugs, slouch around and not give a fuck about anything!

[acidrik23]

@dazlia2 learn to spell perhaps, then us muppets might listen!

[letmeloginyoucunt]

@dazlia2

I am Australian...you have no fucking idea what its like for the rest of the world to think the country you come from is full of morons. Just shut the fuck up you have no idea what you are saying, this is good music, this is art and that is all that matters. They are not role models or examples or anything other label the press has always liked to brand musicians. They did what they wanted to do despite what would sell or gain fame, that is integrity, and it is admirable.

[dazlia2]

@letmeloginyoucunt

Im so glad you chose to include the word 'cunt' in your username............i could have picked a better word to summarise you.

1 - Australia IS full of morons so its not just peoples perception oa Australia...................it­s actually what Australia is.

2 - If i wanted your opinion I would have said "you may speak cunt face"

3 - I would expect Australians to like this couple of wankers becuase they are on your wave length.......not a fucking brain cell between them.

[letmeloginyoucunt]

@dazlia2

OH SHIT SORRY have you been to Australia and met the 20 odd million that live here?

I am an 18 year old girl, and according to your profile you are fucking 38...grow the fuck up...if you are so intelligent you would realise it is pathetic to judge people by the country they live in. You know absolutely nothing about me, i could be the last living descendant of Einstein for all you know you mindless dumbshit...welcome to the internet.

[dazlia2]

@letmeloginyoucunt

Yes I HAVE actually been to Australia and mingled with the Neanderthal scum that populate it.

Aee you menstruating by the way? you seem very very angry for some reason? lol Dont fucking cry you little whore lol Upset cos your daddy tries to take you up the poop hole every night? lololololol

38? Im not 38 you silly little trog, im 18 lol

I doubt very much you an Einstein have very much in common other than the fact you are both brain dead!

Now shut the fuck up ya slag!

[letmeloginyoucunt]

@dazlia2

and with that comment, you just embarassed yourself.

lyk omgz lOoLlLzZ,

[dazlia2]

@letmeloginyoucunt

No.............your confused................i embrassed YOU :)

Typical pre-pubescent teenage girl................always trying to have the last word! lol

[letmeloginyoucunt]

@dazlia2

Nope, i'm not confused....you're just mentally retarded and i find that quite amusing.

So are you a pre-pubescent teenage girl then? aww its okay, inserting tampons gets easier over time, no need to get all grumpy.

[lemonjellies]

You can tell they're loving the attention, fame and playing the bad boy image.

[dublinirishkelt]

at the same time will someone answer the phone

[mileyoreilly07]

two happy boyos

[FurryTartanDice]

@4:30 y know...fooking awesome

[250Trojan]

I think drugs have taken there toll on their minds....

[MarqueeMoon95]

Bez is scarily happy.

[MONTANAMUSC]

ther not stoned...shauns trippin his box off

[miley5566]

they're inarticulate workin class lads doing better art than the well-educated.

In a generation, society won't destroy people like this
