Shane sharp as always

[ShaneMacGowanFan]

Shane sharp as always

[SlyFox70100]

Shane kicks ass, all day every day. the interviewers need to die and go to hell

[Backvries1]

shane rocks, wha a fuckers

[ratonjj]

since when did being on drugs and having 9/10th of the blood substituted with alckohol descriped as "a condicion"??

[iamwalkingthec0w]

@ratonjj learn to spell haha and yeah, alcoholism is a condition

[LargePeas]

that interviewer is a fucking twat. 

[PissFlapsAlright]

Sloth.

[paulinesmith44]

the interviewer doesn't even realise Shane is the one taking the piss.

[bumblecreek477]

i hate how on every show they give him a glass of water. that's such an insult. making fun of his condition like that...

[Temporaryaccount1ify]

@bumblecreek477 i dont think theyre makin fun of him love. its pretty standard for people to be given a glass of water when they do an interview. its in case they get thirsty from talkin and from sittin under the hot lights.

[11thhourreprieve]

@bumblecreek477 every guest on every talk show gets a glass of water, it's not making fun of anybody. It's providing a basic necessity and being a good host. If people want it it's there, if they don't want it they don't have to drink it. It would be more of an insult to assume Shane wouldn't drink water cos he's an alcoholic and not provide any.

[GypsyEarth]

Put it this way, I know who Shane is... I heard him, heard his music and reckon he's influenced a lot of musicians. including myself... and I live in Australia... but... who is the interviewer... never heard of him, seen him and it's a safe bet I never will. As far as I'm concerned this guy's a zero... he's just an abuser...he'll eventually slither into further obscurity... while a lot of people will always remember Shane MacGowan...

[jackjones408]

The interviewer is a Fn C.

[keg64]

great singer & songwriter

[OggyStoop]

WOW MONEY AINTGONNA MAKE IT ... SHANE - COME HAVE SOME COFFE A ND WAKE UP YOU KNOB

[OggyStoop]

wow ... i never realised how bad an interview could be... shane is beautiful... the other guy is a slag

[ScotiExile]

Jack Doherty is a little cretin.

Shane Macgowan is a music legend.

[countorlock100]

"Keith Richards is doing fine" is my favorite line ! Even with slurred speach and a slow delivery, Shane is highly intelligent and deeper than any super kwik, slik, prik media type presenter.

[logueandrew1]

who the fuck is jack doherty?

[logueandrew1]

This interviewer is a prick. "I dont want to talk about booze I want to talk about acid" what an idiot

[whytlillith]

Poor Shane, love him. Its too bad the interviewer cant be bothered to let him answer. He might answer slowly but he does come out with a lot of genius and people are surprised by that with his slurred speech and slow responses. Its sad to see the intelligence, and also the suffering written across his face..

[aikido735]

ajde ćelavi šupče, napij se barem jednom pošteno u životu , pa onda nemoj da poštenog pijanca zajebavaš...!!!

[johnk10]

MacGowan is the best .....trueman......respect.....­.Hail fom to the Grecce

[bansheeire]

Fuck you, scottish bastard, i like the scottish but you are a cunt. WE LOVE YOU SHANE, FUCK FUCK FUCK THE SCOTTISH BASTARD. 

[L0llitaP0p]

hate these fuckin' interviewers takin' advantage of Shane's condition, piss off vultures

[PisstoffAmerican]

@L0llitaP0p

You mean his drunken condition? 

[L0llitaP0p]

@PisstoffAmerican

so what if he's drunk, he's not stupid--and this bastard's just tryin to make a mock of him

[datdereduck]

@L0llitaP0p Don't think the interviewer is taking advantage. It is very difficult to interview someone who is like that, the guy is doing everything he can to get Shane to say something intelligient. It ain't his fault that Shane is sitting there like a zombie.

[L0llitaP0p]

@datdereduck

are you sure we're talkin' about the same video darlin'?!yup, didn't think so..peace out

[datdereduck]

@L0llitaP0p I like Shane's music but hate his substance abuse, Shane is out of it here and the interviewer is doing a one man interview. Bringing up the "eating a Beach Boys Record" was a bad move but the guy was desparate to get Shane to respond to any question with something other than mumbling.

[squeezymad]

@datdereduck please die if shane choices to sit like a zombie then sit like a zombie he should it's not shanes fault the interviewer can't interview,,shane responded with awnsers that were much wittier than the questions ,,and told the truth next time i eat acid im gunna eat a justin bieber album,,, long live macgowan

[countsmyth]

Good answer. better than no blacks no dogs no Irish!

[tonyurmate]

the interviewer is a dick! I agree! Mr Shane MacGown is a Great artist but alot of people who interview him are just taking the piss! I love him,and I think Fariytale of newyork is the greatest song ever recorded! its a pity he is on a path of self harm. but I can't imagine a sober Shane MacGown! Long live Shane MacGown!

[tomojobs]

When he says he ate something when he was on acid and then the reporter says 'it actually makes sense' what did shane actually say?

[kwinny09]

belfast born me shanes ok ftw to those who have probs

[jaysfca]

The lyrics the interviewer is reading from is actually from the CD booklet. But, the booklet is incorrect. The lyrics to "Back in the Country Hell" actually are, "Kill all the rich brits and hasidic jews." So, Shane or his record company did 2 things. 1) made sure the booklet didn't reflect the real lyrics; and 2) prove that people (esp. journalists) don't actually listen to the lyrics of songs, but take short-cuts.

[IslamISsick1]

Great musician.. Wish he would have cut down on the gin... Alchohol ruined this bloke...

[Flipper79able]

Every single person who interviews this guy acts like a jealous twat, including this guy. They have to find a way to level him by saying he is a drunk. Shane has more talent as a drunk than this interviewer has trying as hard as he can while being sober.

[xxleandraxx1]

legend true irish men <3 makes me proud to be part irish! makes me wanna leave so cal and hit up galway!

[SierraKilo9]

The interviewer is treating him like a spastic or better put a retarded child wtf?

[friggincollegekid]

This interview actually made respect MacGowan quite a bit. It was very honest. No bullshit like you see with most celebrities.

[karmapeach]

This interviewer is a shame to scottish telly and thinking,he needs to get a life or write for the sun newspaper,

trash shit.

[hanshotfirst1138]

THE SNAKE and CROCK OF GOLD and hard to find.

[808pb]

Man, the U.S. has Geraldo Rivera and other right-wingers on TV, but none of them are as big of a douche as this dude. I hope it was all a bit, but if it's not someone needs to beat the hell of the interviewer. Who is he?

[gabornadele]

@808pb Geraldo is so far from a right winger, you idiot!

[Meadoway40]

Shane sounds like a true Cockney Irishman, you can tell how old the video is by how many teeth he has left. He is such a moron, he should be dead by now.

[ste43]

@Meadoway40 you should be dead by now

[iamhunglikeadonkey]

@Meadoway40 cockney irishman ??? wtf is that supposed to mean ??

[scumgod13]

@Meadoway40 fuck You, a Moron? Have you read his lyrics. How dare you call him a Moron, You are in no position to judge anyone, what may I ask, have you ever done musically.

[davideyeary]

is the voice of London from V for Vendetta based on fact? They all seem like assholes....they being the interviewers....and I've eaten 3 c.d.'s

[davideyeary]

is the voice of London from V for Vendetta based on fact? They all seem like assholes....they being the interviewers....

[AliMacAzz]

Christ...what a mess...interviewer is a prick & Shane is barely coherent.

[MrDasolja]

Someone kill that interviewer hes talkin down to Shane...Shanes well known in England, Ireland, and USA WHO THE FUCKS THIS JACK DOROHTY FUCKER!!

[1ngjoxsh]

@MrDasolja

what country is he on tv? Not Scotland as far as I know.

[MrDasolja]

@1ngjoxsh who jack doherty? ehhh England i think bud.

[peacefrog1916]

@1ngjoxsh Channel 5 UK, Jack Doherty is from Scotland though.

[gerryyy]

Jack doherty???? shane macgowan will be known for hundreds of years, i don't even know who that dik is now!!

[Oilisdeathtomany]

This interviewer is so in love with the sound of his own voice that he can scarcely draw breath. Shane is trying to answer and the fucker just talks over him. What a cretin.

[parojones]

Who is Jack Doherty ????? never seen him before, i know Shane MacGowan everybody knows Shane MacGowan.......

[wqpeb]

He can suck my arse.

Shane is twice the man and still holds his own.

Screw the asshole and his stupid show.

Shane still has more dignity that that prick.

[TheFlynny1]

whoever the interviewer is is is is a wee bit of a dick tryin to get the CHEAP shots and CHEAP laughs in what a pure spoon fed fool in a so funny kinda way!!.no blacks no irish no dogs well done on the reminder shaner shut him up fairly quick!!long live macgown!!!!!!

[sHART1780]

people have no ability to separate talent from personal values. there's no doubt that shane is an incredibly talented song writer and a cool guy, but to act like he has his life together and his alcoholism is something to laugh at or scoff at is wrong. shane is great, but it makes me feel bad to always see him out of it. how can you say you truly respect or care about someone when you're willing to sit back and say "he's a talented legend!! who cares what he does"? you don't.

[strummerocks]

Its that twat Docherty He is a fucking tube

[ghike30]

how much in... bank..... did you take acid..... what pubs, you drink in ?, what a fucking arehole!! why not ask him about his music, his influences, his brilliant lyrics, who , what inspires him ?  i hav,nt seen an interviewer yet, with an atom of his talent. just patronising cunts playing to a moronic audience.

[ghike30]

i,d have said, "and, how much have you got jack?", but then, shanes a gent

[ghike30]

@dadadee100 possibly the greatest song full stop. :)

[keithymush]

Jack Doherty is a fuckin shit twat

[horneyharney]

what a legend.. he is his own man and he does not let what anyone thinks of him stop him speaking his mind, he goes on british tv and says to the interviewer that he is sick of the shit that irish people have gone through because of the brits.. that takes more balls than anyone can imagine. shane is a fucking hero and a national treasure

[avm316]

It pisses me off when people make fun of Shane MacGowan, he wrote some great songs back in the day and it's ashame people don't give him enough credit.

[king5ley]

How much you got in the bank? What a complete arse wipe of a question.

[lukkey101]

what a cunt the interviewer is,"how much is in your bank?",ye wudnt even ask your best mate that!

[lillyandruben]

this interviewer is a total tosspot he needs a bullet

[lillyandruben]

god this guy asks some real dumbass questions he needs a bullet

[Jorindevil]

SHANE KICKS ASS! fucking awesome guy

[zhidd]

Shane is a sweet, sweet man! Watching this makes me want to give him a hug and then punch out the interviewer.

[TcroftY]

He speaks his mind. He ignores the laughter from the crowd and the jokes from the interviewer. He just stares at him when he says "it actually makes sense" knowing, that he is 100x smarter than him.

[PooPoo2U]

shane may be as ugly as a cockroach, but by God he's as tough as one as well!

[Tlax13]

hes in the same boat as ozy right now

[Bohumill2]

Drugs, booze and fights on loose side, himself said it.

[robwayne1000]

i wonder if he lost his front teeth in a bloody scrap, or if they just rotted out.

[hatmcmannis]

rotted out cus of the drugs and booze!

[BadReligion8191]

apparently he had a bit too much to drink (no surprise) at a pub in Limerick and fell over a wall and his face landed on a pile of bricks

[ComradeCanadia]

He has highly acidic saliva - his teeth were naturally rotten because of his crazy ph. The nonstop drinking and lack of dental care doesn't help either.

[mrseangarry]

i meet him in lillies awhile ago,very nice chap,i was askn a m8 for a smoke and shane leant over and goes "here m8".he smokes silk cut purple btw.peace

[82Misha82]

well who is this guy to interview a legend like Shane?

makin a fool of himself i think!

[pentachaos]

"i was a vury silly boy" haha!

[sonoferin]

i hate when people laugh at him when he's not being funny.

[tkmat]

hes very depressed here.

[slideawayLIAM09]

i thought he looked the best ive seen for years when i seen him in glasgow last week. what a gig

[DressSmartLookHard]

I love Shane, one of the best song writers of all time - breaks my heart to see him in this state, he looks so sad and down & out - but his music is still strong, I saw The Pogues a couple of nights ago and Shane is a light in the dark time of current music!

[lostit2bostik]

Did you see them at The Apollo?

I was there, I thought he looked much better than he had looked in previous years.

It was a truly amazing gig.

[DressSmartLookHard]

I saw them at Leeds Academy - I was stood towards the back and it was quite dark but from what I could see he looked as good as he can given his situation, he drinking bottles of wine though :(

[brigham78]

You'd look sad and down if ud taken 5 valium before going on Tv LOL...He Aint down...im sure hes feeling just fine lol

[RIProrygallagher]

Valium, more like smack.. He seems to be clean nowadays tho thank goodness..

[brigham78]

Yeah did you see him on gery ryans ronnie drew documentary? looking remarkably healthy by his low standards.....he'l live til hes 80, u watch!

[hanshotfirst1138]

@DressSmartLookHard Yeah, Shane lives pretty hard and it's definitely taking its toll, but the paradox is that that's what makes him a genius. It's sad to see him like this and he might be beyond the pale, but the mark of brilliance he left on music can still be felt today and I hope maybe he'll sober up and surprise us all with a knockout new album one day.

[twinphoenix222]

he sounds as bad as Ozzy! I can't understand a word he's saying!

[TheBritishRebel]

lmao this dude just sounds like he hates england

[brigham78]

its ok to say 'kill rich brits' but not ok to say 'parasitic jews'........discuss

[sonoferin]

yeah why did he change the lyrics? "journalistic whores" is not the lyric.

[brigham78]

because the jewish community is obviously a tad sensitive! maybe hitler hit a nerve.....(joke)

[joxter74]

sad show, buy that's what it was then.. You could'nt been more fun but pillin' then.

[jaysfca]

Lazy journalist -

The lyrics are actually:

"My death squads would be kids from flats all high from sniffing glue,

I'd use them to kill rich Brits and the Hasidic Jews."

The lyrics are not "journalistic whores". That is pure fiction!!!

This interviewing guy was so lazy he just read off the pre-printed lyrics. He never actually listened to the song. So poor and so lazy.

[sirtinycreep]

Is Jack Doherty Jimmy Corkhill's brother?

[brezylin]

fuck jack

[ashfly]

how old is this video

and who the fuck is jack doherty

[sony56968]

the more and more interviews i see that he does it just makes me mad , Shane MacGowan is fucking one of a kind and always will be forever these fuck sticks that make jokes of him and the lifestyle he lives should go roit all they want is ratings when shane only wants people to hear his music and what he belives in at heart fuckin suites they will never get it

[ashfly]

agree sony the mans a genius

but this is an old vid

[INDIOIRLANDES]

Shane MacGowan is the best song writter,i come from south america and i live here in europe,and i think Jack Doherty is an ass hole,shane just want to talk and make him undertand another kind of people also we live here in this world

[rebel3redz]

JACK DOHERTY--1st arsehole scot i have ever come across.(sorry scotland,love ye an yer country,my man is from there)but this twat is a fuckin idiot

[peacefrog1916]

i thought jack was alright, he seems geniunely interested in shane and his music, rather than the usual journalists who just talk about his drinking. Shanes the best!!!!!

[AtticusStount]

the worst tv presenter of all time. I think the person that hired him had a brain tumour and an aneurism that leaked into the tumour. This bloke is a talentless abortion.

[Wraithriel]

Hahaha, he reminds me a lot of David Brent.

[Sualaimachcailin]

Jack is a f**king idiot. I am soo glad shane can take this and making Jack actually look the stpid one.

Why do you invite people to your show just to try and make fun of them.

Jack= arse hole

As for Amy, how can anyone even mention her on the same day....Have they no education at all.

[RIProrygallagher]

"Why were you eating a Beach Boys album?"

"I thought I was convincing the Russian ambassador of the worthlessness of American Imperialism"

Go on Shane! :P

[ste43]

That interviewer is a fucking dick.

people don't give Macgowan credit, he's not articulate but he's very sharp, he doesn't miss a thing and is a clever bloke.

[SirNicholasHunt]

For most Celebs, interviews can be a chore and then some love then. The interviewer looks more lost than Shane during most of this.

For Shane, this is torture. He just wants people to know he has a new disc out. Keep writing Shane, you're a gift.

[JesusSuckedGayPenis]

@ste43 I've seen worse. At least he let him answer questions.

[JesusSuckedGayPenis]

@ste43 I gave your comment a thumbs up BTW. I agree.

[Chameleonardodavinci]

@ste43 Yeah it bothers me that he can't speak his mind cause likesay, the shits aren't taking him seriously. You can see on his face he's deep in thought and all, and they crack a joke about how much of an alchie he is... It's not right, man, we could learn something from MacGowan.

[coatbridgemadman]

yea im scottish but jack docherty is a wank pot, and he always has been,,,,,,how often do here of him now> and how often do u here about the legend shane mcgowan?

[mickeytherat08]

no harm, but that interviewer is a flute....

[boxingd25]

shane macgowan is the fucking man...i love how you understand him perfectly when he sings but not when he talks hes so fucking awesome

[eddyvanbuiten]

omg the interviewer, what an ass!!!

[xxxxxemocorexxxxx]

him and amy winehouse would get on well

[NaserMestarihi]

Fuck off you. You shouldn't even put that cunt in the same league with him.

[youthgoes]

Amy Winehouse? That girl has NO talent. ZERO. Have you ever seen her butcher Toots and the Maytal's "Monkey Man"? Horrific. Shoot her in the head and put her out of her misey...please. Don't EVER put Shane in the same dregs of humanity as Amy Winehouse!!!

[gillybutt]

Shane is a legend, yes he is a piss head but if you can write fairy tale of new york pissed then you are a genius

[oooooomaly]

This intervewer is a fuking nob...

[guitarpopstar]

I agree. People need to be more empathetic toward Shane, for God's sake. He could have done things differently yes, and he should have, but things aren't always that black and white--things aren't always that simple. He ruined his own life and he doesn't complain. No, he faces it. He stares death in the face, and for that Shane is a hero of mine.

[PigLover69]

Yeah man exactly, do you really think Shane cares? NO

[rockfolly]

Its nice to see an interviewer not taking the total piss out of shane. kirsty macoll once said he is a lovely man with a heart of gold. xxxxxxx

[mconneel]

well said rockfolly

[rockfolly]

why thankyou mr big neil young fan. have a good wkend. dont rock too hard. xxxxxxx

[EmitFlestiKY]

No doubt he's a lovely man with a heart of gold - anyone who's listened to his music over the years or read "A Drink with Shane MacGowan" can see that. That stil doens't change the fact that's sad to see such a great talent gone to waste over the last decade and half or so. I hope he can find it in him to write more great music. The world needs more great lyric writers to counter the drivel we're fed on a daily basis.

[EmitFlestiKY]

This is from about 1998, and he's actually still in pretty good shape here, comparatively. Watch some of the interviews from about 2004 on, and he's a complete wreck.

[kennerz89]

He was hooked on smack during this period, he's only been drinking for most of the 00's, i saw him in a bar in kerry in '99 and he was far worse than he looks nowadays

[peacefrog1916]

Shane-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MarkMKelly]

Good interview thanks! Good interviewer for once!!!
