holy shit. that fucking sucked. to all the shane loyalists, imagine if you knew nothing about him or the pogues and you saw this. i guarantee you would hate it. you have to judge shit on its merits sometimes.
i share the same sentimentas regarding priests etc . . .but also the disappointment of mcgowan fanswhen people slag shane off. the man is the man. authentic to a fault . . . there are not that many around (regardless of their supposed faults). embrace your idols whilst they still live!
@Neo2906 his lyrics and vision w/ the pogues who took irish music to a new level and invented the celtic punk that is now mainstream as ever thanks to dropkick murphys and flogging molly, both of which have 1/100 of the talent of the pogues. i know its easy to wonder why people love shane so much after he's destroyed himself but the man will always be an inspiration for me and have a special place in my heart.
@Neo2906 listen to the broad majestic shannon, white city, a pair of brown eyes, summer in siam, transmetropolitan or turkish song of the damned not too mention countless others, then ask your self the same question...
@pfmo5678ramone ok, i`m not the greatest irish-fan in the world. sometimes i like listening to it. but when i see shane without his teeth and talking the same way like ozzy is doing.....nobody has to be like this. that`s really hard to see. and than it`s not easy to understand why people say that he`s such a great genius. i think we have many musik genius in this world. but they didn`t distroy themselves. hope you can understand what i mean?! greets neo

shane fucking dousnt deserve tae be placed singing in a fucking frak show this mans a fucking genius reduced ae fucking this man wit the fuck is happenin :s
With reading his Biography I agree with you. At the same time the style of life he choose to live had effected him. Not many women would prefer to be with a guy who have constant drinking habit with history of Illegal drug including if he will keep drinking the way he is he will end up being found dead some where.
@ jamiehcfc. Your looking at it from a wrong perspective. Shane might drink a little bit every now and then ;P but don't you think he can think for himself? (He's not placed there, he sat down there;)
You are aware that every time someone makes a death prediction about him it adds at least a decade to his life aren't you? At this rate he'll probably be here when the sun goes out.
fuck you .. stay shit hammered druuuunk for fuckin 20-30 more years and try to talk shit.. this dudes a fuckin drunk christ .. fuckin clever guy//he seen fuckin thousands and thousands more peopple that youll ever get the displeasure to see.. fuckin raise a glass and cheers fucker..cheers fucker!!!..peace
the man's a fucking genius and he's taking the piss for fuck's sake...
lol at the drones who dont get that,
I put the blame on careless mothers that drop their poor little wee infants on their heads, thus depriving the poor little buggers of any chance of developing abstract cognitive skills...like irony

Hey man, don't ever make an honest statement when it comes to this mess. I learned my lesson, Half of fucking Ireland jumped all over me because I made fun of him. I don't know who's a bigger freak, Shane or the dude w/ short arms.
im fuckin sick 2 death of hearing pricks like u go on about "the sad state" mcgowan is in.....as if there isnt enough dead legends 2 cry about already, wankers like u have 2 cry about living legends....let th man live (and enjoy) life the way he wants and stop fucking crying about it ok?
I absolutely LOVE this video and Shane. He sees the world as we present it. We are entalled with the tits and the formaldyhald babies. We entertain and nothing entertains Shane as one sitting on a throne. I love the sound of his voice! It is missing Sinead, of course. It is like alto without saprano and we, the audience sence, that something is missing. How wonderful! How quaint! and the audience responds, "Shane something is missing?" Just as he aroused. Wonderfully orchestrated!

A dentist can put a proper smile back into Shanes face like Bez and Shawn Ryder from Happy Mondays. But he can´t refill the killed braincells. Cheers!
I like the way Shane sings this song (yeah miserable & drunk), I hate new years eve, this is my new years eve song !!! Best version of this song, I never liked the original. Cheers for posting it thecatkeaton. If people don't like it they shouldn't comment just move on.
I can see why all you like him so much lol he make me laugh when i see and hear him. He looks like a troll and sounds like a boozer that pisses on himself at the local pub. cheers mates and i hope we have many years with mr. macgowan
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
shane is such a piece of shit, i mean what are all your dickheads smoking he sucks and has always sucked. he is slovenly and plain ass ugly as homemade sin
Jesus Christ I would be depressed as well if I had all those strange people bugging me. Don't get me wrong about the dude with the under developed arms, I mean disabilities are a sad pain in the ass. Regardless, what in the hell is he doing in a fucking loincloth?
Hi everybode, gotta agree! Shane is my fucking god! And this song is not an exception, damn his voice got som much pain and feeling i dont no where to go:P Btw, i've got this song and its on the album "A Song For Eurotrash", no shane release unfortunatly=/
FYI to you and everybody, if you're into Shane covers, he does a rad version of Hippy Hippy Shake too. I think it's on here. I just realized this could sound like Spam but, it's not, ha. I don't know where the video is, look it up yaselv but it's around. And it rocks. Shane makes me wish yet again I'd been born at least 15 years earlier (early 70s) so that I could have had more time with them. Him and Hunter Thompson... the wisest men I've seen.
The most important thing to remember about drunks is that drunks are far more intelligent than non-drunks. They spend a lot of time talking in pubs, unlike workaholics who concentrate on their careers and ambitions, who never develop their higher spiritual values, who never explore the insides of their head like a drunk does.
George Best quote
In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life.
@marycockburn1 ok i respect your opinion but let me ask you if you dont like the man the legend that is Shane MacGowen then why are you watching a video of him
@marycockburn1 dont worry everyone has their opinions im sure that there are singers that you like that i dont would be a boring world if we all liked the same stuff take it easy
shane is such a talented musician and was one of my favourite live performances without a doubt.."if you like the pogues, then you like the pogues" i was told and its true.
cant help to think how pickled he must be though, such a shame
Agreed. Took a song that was trying to be Elvis' comeback but sounded like Cliff Richards Wired For Sound era and made it a thing of greatness that you could picture any of the other greats singing ...Jacques Brel, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Sinatra, David Bowie...
More great stuff from Shane...his being a little tipsy adds an interesting element to this sad song, like he was sitting in a pub singing it for a woman he loved...

Makes me feel very sad,to watch Shane,in such a horrible "state" ,because I'll always remember him,as a real great song-writer,musician and artist !!!
His "qualities+talents" couldn't be "prooved" better,as "The Pogues" faded away(even with"new singer"),after Shane,had to leave the band ...
No one should "judge" him,for going his "own,special way" ...,but ,of course,it's very sad,
that "all" ended up,in this way ...
Thanx for sharing,this "special vid" !!!
Best Regards,from Germany ...

George Best was also a true legend,- and it was still sad to see what alcohol did to him..
I realy love Shane McGowan`s music,- but it makes me sad to see the shape alcohol has made him in,- what a shame.
