Happy Mondays Interview

[@mikeysonlyvanspage]

Shaun Ryder is way smarter than people think he is. For someone that didn't do well at school, his lyrics are way better than most educated bands. He's a poet and a good one too.

[@jimnewcombe7584]

Now give us one example of something which would pass as poetry.

This same lady also had a battle getting anything out of the Roses.

[@cheynemalcolm1035]

Legendary interview with John nd Ian like

[@cheynemalcolm1035]

It takes a while for people to fall in love with u but it’s inevitable

[@DannyBoi2112]

Yeah it is i think, hahahahahahahahahahahah

[@BurtonRdForever]

She's from Granada tv. Cant remember her fuckin name!!

[@nutterkid200]

This interview is basically the same as the roses

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

Except that the Roses had a lot more talent.

[@mrmrsmsmisscloud7512]

I met Shaun when he was here in Australia, early 2000. He was mixing songs & performing at the Big Day Out concert. My friend & I arrived to the stage early, didn’t recognise him & he started chatting to us, really friendly. Then when we watched him perform & heard the familiar sounds of Happy Mondays & Black Grape, we were amazed. He’s a real top bloke & I’ll never forget how humble & friendly he was.

[@bobzilla211]

when they asked bez why he took so many drugs he said "cos its my job"

[@aelfredhauscarl]

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

[@dravendean8710]

😅🤣

[@jaywarren333]

U reckon they would ever of turned up to an interview at the job centre? 😂😂

[@David-h4z2s]

Don't be cheeky now about Two legends of the game Mr Ryder And Mr Berry👏🎤

[@RefinedRouge]

Did they get the job

[@CelticSaint]

'Well we know how people see us but we're really not like that'. 'How do people see you' 'I don't know.....' LOL

[@marcston91]

i love this interview, everytime i watch it it never gets old!

[@commonergirl]

I can't get over their grins, sneaky fellas!

[@huberto777]

Absolute class takes me back a few years!!!

[@damotheman4196]

"don't know that,no idea..just do it." - - what an ending to an interview brilliant.

[@mrmrsmsmisscloud7512]

This is so hilarious!!

[@fatwhitejen5035]

"Do you think your reputation does proceed you, or what" How articulate!

[@xxwendyx]

Omg I love them 😍💖 and they are from my home town madchester

[@alecallew]

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

[@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.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Same as football. The media thread so many things into a team and a player. Somehow linking them to WW2 or the nation as a whole. Drives it all crazy and creates huge pressure. Sports psychologists say never read the ppaers to players. One told me himself. He worked with a top level tennis player I will not mention!

[@Windy72]

Those boys aged really quickly. They went from fun-loving witty scallies to jaded old timers in 3 short years. I remember the early gigs with pride.

[@myaphextwin807]

Seeing Bez here, you can appreciate the lump of corned beef between his ears is still very much fresh today.

[@DarrenGroves]

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

[@dillon3411]

The real life Beavis & Butthead.

[@jimmarley3214]

how

[@Original_Renegade]

how does it feel to know a real life beavis and butthead has achieved way more than you?

[@cheyennebritbrat]

nice one pezz...i love bez ..what a star

[@iblamesummers]

great footage.

[@papasslipper564]

The inspiration for the dumb and dumber characters including the haircuts

[@Jimjam1212]

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

[@Goodywagon]

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

[@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 !!!!!!

[@CharqyBaby]

They look totally baked XD Shaun Ryder what a legend ahaha

[@jacquesy79]

off their heads and MAD FOR IT!!!LEGENDS.

[@bunglebonce]

They were rolling during this clip!

[@western-oud1898]

This is more like a therapist session the way the interviewer's asking the questions

[@Gefilta]

I'm doing my next job interview this out-of-it

[@AkyovNorthWest]

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

[@theblurredcrusade.2557]

Yes.

[@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.

[@_6079SMITH]

😅😅😅 you having flashbacks recalling that story ? 😅👍🙏

[@wilf7042]

​@@_6079SMITHghibli sadly passed away

[@Skiddygrundys]

Fuckin brilliant, classic mash-up...... Absolutely nailed it!!!

[@SoloVagant]

Top Lads...need i say more...

[@richardmarkwood]

Tell you what sharky, they've done alright for a couple of thick Northerners! Bet you wish you were a couple of quid behind them! Quality band who turned out quality tunes! Whilst were at it, it's Bez not Bes and Don't Know not Don't no! Here endeth the lesson from another "thick Northerner"!

[@captain07234]

So the movie 24 hour party people really was an accurate portrayal.

[@TheParanoidAndroid1]

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

[@TheStepho67]

wrote for luck. wot a fuckin classic tune. shaun n bez r fuckin legends

[@mayson5]

Recorded ver 20 years ago - and considering what those two have been through, it's not bad that they're back together properly again for 07.....

[@topcatnumero1]

Mr Ryder has come a long way since this interview! Used to see him in the Barlecorn pub in Didsbury, chatting to himself while 'reading' a book!! Quality but a shame!

[@BurtonRdForever]

Barley Corn pub has gone now. Pablo Zabaleta used to go in there when he lived facing.

[@otoolepw]

Absolutely wrecked off their faces

[@sicks6six]

this must be 40 years old now, where did the time go,

[@chibiriflautico]

You aren't a math guy, hey mate?

[@rachisthebest0405]

BEST ACCENTS EVER

[@iainnewt]

What a lovely coupla chaps, 'av them round any day for a nice cuppa I would, niceness!

[@danielbrown1724]

Love Happy Monday's but these blokes have fried themselves with all those pills, thrills and bellyaches

[@Kelly14UK]

everytime i look for the lyrics to Rave On i get something totally not what i hear on the song

[@EdWood2006]

Man how young do they look! This must be about '85-'86.

[@BurtonRdForever]

1988.

[@TheMrBwfchadds]

Ryder an bez ledgends got to be tripin in this interview hacienda top days

[@wahdncx]

whats the tune that starts at 1:02?

[@uncle_rizzo1017]

Wrote for luck

[@thebean9255]

'subdued little boy's'? Ryder was probably about 28 on this interview!

[@modsheff1]

here here!

[@imperial1237]

heroes, they are great

[@alanmeires]

Apart from jump about on stage what did Bez do in the band because he didn’t play any instruments did he ???

[@the16bitprick36]

He had and still has the greatest job role in any band ever.

[@richardmarkwood]

I thank you...................!!

[@jackatherton8987]

Clearly stoned out there heads

[@monty1864]

Not exactly stonef

[@clinteastwood6875]

I mean it's the Happy Mondays...would be weird if they weren't stoned

[@InfiniteRhombus]

Except cid affects everyone differently, I've been able to converse on dots and nobody even knew, it isnt about getting "shit acid" its being able to control yourself, which many people cannot do.

[@haniwanohanimaru]

they actually look normal like this! japanese subtitles. didn't realise they were on japanese telly. i understand like only 30% of what they're saying LOL darling accents. "drogs and sax"

[@SirRudy93]

now that my friend's, is an interview!

[@peterscott1411]

Hahaha 😂😂😂 look mischievous teenagers

[@David-h4z2s]

Shaun Ryder was 26 here and Bez was 24

[@Dangarus1]

Shaun Ryder just makes me laugh in this, spesh at the start.

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

Is this the same interviewer who did the Roses? Similar style and voice.

[@tmcthree]

hallelujah; remixed by either paul oakenfold or andrew wetherall can't quite remember. its the hallelujah dance mix anyway

[@aj4als]

i'm reading halleluja,can't believe shaun's still alive.i agree, shaun is a class lyricist

[@DavidWilliamsTheHedonist]

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!

[@BurtonRdForever]

Me too. Fucking mad isn't it? It's like watching the hooliganism at football and thinking the lads were really old and hard looking but seeing videos of the time they're just kids..getting old mate..

[@JackCollindie]

What's the track they play during it? :)

[@rachisthebest0405]

yessss!! haha love that phrase :D

[@Sirjinny]

To all the people saying that you can't take acid and talk like they are sorry but you're wrong. I lived in Manchester 89 - 92 we'd be out on the weekend & for the working week we`do often take strawberries & microdots topped up with a bit of bill. My boss just thought I was clumsy and we often had conversations. When you're bang at it your body and mind get used to it and it just becomes a light buzz. E`s and trips, bill and trips

[@mattywilliams7932]

Smashed out there heads. 😂😂

[@DonnyStorm]

Nah lad they’re fucking high as a kite

[@daddypig.5796]

DonnyStorm yeah I reckon a few spliffs. I was a bit like this on the weed when I was young. Almost shy.

[@dixon97a]

@usronejm Whos Ian ? ? ?

[@mana3735]

It's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up......

[@charlottebruce979]

They are acting like two cheeky boys. The interviewer must be very attractive because they are acting like she is.

[@ultimateegg2]

[@InfiniteRhombus]

[@Davidwaters-]

[@WoodenChickenHead]

"wrote for luck" from their second album, bummed. Its on youtube.

[@BikiniBanana]

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

[@TristonRobinson]

[@GlasgowMick50]

[@mikkifly]
