Dirty old Town and a some rare footage - The Pogues

[LucyyFinchh]

I LOVE SHANE he is buzzen <3

[LindazEyes]

Oye, couldn't they have focused elsewhere on Shane for the video, instead of his poor ol' pickets? He showed them; tho'; people love him (& yeah, pity him too), for his voice sings of the old soul that he is. Dirty Old Boy <3

[swampdodger33]

Pouges for Rock nRol halll of...FICK OFF YA ARSE..just enjoy .

[anubis1974]

2 people are Brits! :)

[gaconnochie]

@anubis1974 "2 people are Brits!" Well the guy who wrote this song was - as are most of the Pogues!

[astrapower002]

2 people dont no what he means

[madaikings]

I've always worked in a ship yard and me and the boys have always sung this song!

[Wisegeorge]

Some people don't want to live to be old. I don't, but I'm not willing to work as hard at killing myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing a fine job but Shane is running a four minute mile.

[aalexjohna]

irish cunts

[mrTwoMeSo]

This dirty world is more beautiful when you are drunk, because when you are drunk ther is no space for bad things in you, only for more beer :D

[Tubbyduff]

Why in hell do they need a drunken eejit like that in an otherwise good band

[bskinti2]

@Tubbyduff Because he's the one that formed the band with Peter Stacy in the first place and writes the great hits that made the band ie fairytale of new york etc

[TheIrishDoll]

Shane! <33 you baby :)

[Meowsaidthekitty]

best band

[AGlycerineSilkQuorum]

The popes coming to Britain, dirty old man, dirty old man.

[BigotedVideo]

Damn Shane was a very good looking fellow, ok actually he still is but in a different very mature way.

And his teeth were like completly fine

[targetcxd]

!!!??? They played a five stringed banjo? I always thought they played a Plectrum... or at least... the obvious irish Tenor? Whaaaaaaa???

[makopoint]

To all those knocking Shane you could not touch 1 percent of his talent so take a flyin fuck at the moon.

[MadfredAngling]

not drunk...i'm amazing !!!

[leemeires]

yes its sad to see but that drugs for you sorry to say hes a shadow of him self now

[Skitziod]

Piss on you! Who the fuck?

[leemeires]

you gonnor lot of mouth for a cunt

[Skitziod]

@leemeires HAHA, alot of of it all my gonnor.

[whatsupfamousface]

it's crazy how much more put together he was in younger interviews like this, and now he's so different. He is so rockstar though, no matter what

[08austih]

someone should post the rest (or at least some more) of the "If I Should Fall From Grace: The Shane MacGowan Story" DVD.

[jonestown222]

[naturalbornklr]

[joxster9]

If I Should Fall From Grace is a great documentary.

[iluvguinessnbushmils]

[Sandrine71]

[cuttercanfly]

[barbh1]

Beautiful, thanks!

[malachy1847]

What a legend massive songwriter and singer !!! Shane had more talent in his left NUT! Than that those passing off what is supposed to be good music today! great clip thanks for same

[joe19730801]

Great post.

[xyzllii]

If he had been a GIRL with that mouth and ears...he would NEVER had made it...

[pavethepeaks]

he "made it" with his voice and song writing

[xyzllii]

My point still stands...

[pavethepeaks]

I don't see how your point even has any merit

[readytoliveagain]

aye but if he had the girls voice he'd never have been able to belt a tune like that!

[xyzllii]

Very nice indeed.

[Amethysting]

straight to faves

[GordonFr33man]

what was the cameraman thinking at 2:43 - 2:48

[dcarr84]

Someone hasn't been flossing !

[dougal90a]

he looks so young and fresh LOL

[oggedask]

yeah... he like almost have all his teeth intact

[baawuffwuff]

Shane's version of this song is touching, and just hear those pipes

[ScottInVa1760]

Outstanding video! Thanks for posting.

[Cloughjordan23]

Shane is one of the greatest-and i can say the villages in Tipp that he loves are the lovliest of places

[tadgh37]

thank you Oztar for the post...Pogues get me back & forth from work 'bout every day...and many a road trip too

[MattHatter]

I friggin' love Shane! I love The Pogues! But I don't understand this whole "I wish I could've lived his life" stuff. The poor guy has drank himself beyond repair. God's gotta hold of this guy and is keeping him on earth to entertain us all. Shane has cheated death God know how many times. God Bless him!

[cruton33]

Fucking madhate73

Shane Mcgowan is legend

[kfz]

at 4:42 what is the name of the song being played??

[OztarAntoine]

London Girl.

It is on Rum Sodomy and the Lash, extended version. Or Poguetry in Motion.

[Manikkonduct]

SHANES A LEGEND

[madhatte73]

Fucking Pogues. None better, ever, ever. I'll fucking punch your teeth out if you say otherhow.

[jondawg83]

Damn you Shane, damn you, why couldn't I have lived your God blessed life?

[DriveByTrucker88]

trust me i resemble shane, its no picnic dude

[jondawg83]

Yea I'm a lot more like him than ever before. It's way over rated

[DriveByTrucker88]

are you for real? i really do look like him except for the teeth

[heddyz29]

mmmm lucky you , that guy's wayyyy sexy! :)

[006011061]

The pipes melt me !

[ScottInVa1760]

Great version of a great song; enjoying seeing the Pogues from "back in the day." Thanks for posting, Oztar!

[doctormanhatten]

I meant, tempting to think of what more he could have, could be doing if he was sober

[stuffed76]

he lives life how he wants to.

[doctormanhatten]

I love Shane's ugly, fucked up teeth. He was never meant to be a Justin Timberlake. And while it's tempting to think how much of his talent has been wasted away, I don't begrudge him his lifestyle.

[mkearley49]

Wow .. great video .. thanx for posting .. you know wah i mean, like .. ?

[lookin4brainz]

my life's goal is to meet or see shane preform

[jjtreanor2006]

Its so weird actually hearing shane talking properly... Go on shane....

[seanie222]

If you still have those front teeth in a jar at home Shane, pop em on Ebay, lets see what they fetch!

[HumGuitar]

What is the name of the song playing at 4:33?

What cd is it available on? I used to have it on cassette, but don't know which one it was on or what the name of it is.

[OztarAntoine]

That song's called "London Girl" and was originally released on "Poguetry in Motion", but is now available on "Rum, Sodomy & The Lash extended version".

;)

[dunnededunnedunne]

on livin in London -

"You're more fucked up then if you live in a nice little town in Tipperary or somewhere like that" thats debatable

[AS02474]

I don't care how drunk, stoned or just totally F**ked up Shane was in those performances. The Pogues were nothing less than brilliant.

[targetcxd]

@AS02474 I don't think anyone ever care about any of that either, and I know everyone agrees with them being nothing less then Brilliant. :)

[whelhosses]

Aw, that makes me very tender. When the world was a bit better, music was better. I was a young lad living in London when this came out.

[loginberry666]

ugliest fucker in the world, but you gotta love him at face value:P

Hup ye Divil

[HartyD9]

no matter what state he's in, he's still less fried than most of us sad bastards mentally.....think about it ha ha .. looked at any footage of people attemting to interact with him ... their brainwashed conditioned state seems labotamised when contrasted with his unaffected view of the world .. he shows them up as fried bastards who r affected by the media and conditionrd society .. the last thing shane would do is intertain that.. plus they're subconsiously trying 2 make him aware thus affected

[dublingirl00]

I never know what the heck he's saying in his interviews- but when he sings...it's flawless. Pure magic!

God love his teeth though. Poor guy.

Legend.

Cheers Shane!

[BMWTeamBigazzi]

Shane MacGowan Is God!! The guy has written an sang music that hits you straight in the heart!! The End!!

[kingofavalon9669]

[maxmihelich]

[ohcalcutta81]

[Suki40330]

Shane is brilliant. And I love Spider Stacey playing the Irish whistle. He inspired me to learn this traditional Irish instrument.

[kingcarson]

looks like a regular tin whistle to me...

[Suki40330]

It's another name for the same thing.

[DOOLINJOHN1]

[Oddpod11]

God, Cait O'Riordan is a babe. 0:45, 1:15, 2:30, 3:00, 4:20, and 6:05. Tell ya one thing, I knew there had to be at least one Pogues bandmember whose bathwater I was willing to drink (well, now there's two, including Shane).

[barabeagle]

Tipperrary.....:D

[jasonk1709]

[roboboyo]

[praskovia13]

[Sanzo84]

Wow. This is probably the first time I've seen Shane this sober! (O_O)

[KriyaArts]

Here's to the band that allowed the Waterboys, the Cranberries, and Sinead O'Connor to become hits Stateside. Nice vintage pieces w Shane!

[krainey]

Great post Oztar thanks realy enjoy'd that

[HickorySticks]

this is from the DVD the shane mcgowan movie, i oen it, had to order it online tho

[lexicondevilfilms]

dirty old town! i love it! awesome vid.

[Kathaarsis]

I always thought Cait was awesome, mostly because she was able to hang with such a rowdy bunch.

[NancyWhiskeyNo1]

Shane always seems a little nervous when he is sober

[OztarAntoine]

Look at the beautiful nostalgic moment between 00:25 to 00:30 ... ;)

[jeremyshambles]

yes , i got chills during this video, shane and the pogues are legends, cheers

[jacoblp]

woah, Shane... but sober? The only time I have ever seen that was when it was 11 AM and I was getting a haircut next to him.

[OztarAntoine]

Cheers for the comment Fritz !

I have some stuff about The Nips from the same documentary. I could upload some if you agree ;)
