It's like they are being questioned by the police lol

[@mikethompson5549]

No comment

[@Foo-oo-oo-oolsGold89]

Havent you watched interviews with Manchester bands before ? They are like this because these clowns ask dumb questions.

[@MrMortifi69]

call the cops

[@BrotherPaul877]

lol

[@natashaoneluv3776]

This the most funniest interview I've ever seen.😅😂🤣😆💯.

[@TheBatwave]

It’s honestly one of my favorite albums of all time.

[@funguy29]

they’re tripping balls 😂😂😂

[@samuraininjarockstar9355]

They aren’t

[@bobstermaher]

They're tired.

[@thesubhumancomedy]

Donovan is a super tune with beyond great lyrics. Homage to Donovan's Sunshine Superman. What an entertaining interview. Thanks!

[@Whywas6scared]

1:45 I think I caught the moment when the last brain cell died.

[@MusicalAddictionOnlineLessons]

😂 Shaun just realised he left the oven on

[@nebod1556]

stoned forever...miracle they still around......

[@dillonbird4645]

This is great, legitimately. They have an uncanny chemistry.

[@michaelgill1203]

Bez is a hanger on! R.i.p Paul ryder

[@theculturedthug6609]

​@@michaelgill1203No he's not without Bez there is no Mondays you haven't a clue. He brought the Vibe gave Shaun the confidence to even sing.

[@jasecee8992]

​@@michaelgill1203Bez got them recognised. All the cogs made the Mondays

[@DaveTricks_]

Shaun was always an honest dude.. probably honest to a fault

[@simonpringle6599]

The original 24hr party people 💯💯👌👌👌👍👍

[@turboduckhead6179]

Heard of Ozzy Osbourne?

[@theculturedthug6609]

​@@turboduckhead6179I can guarantee you Shuan William Ryder did more drugs than Ozzy Osbourne!

[@mana3735]

These two became family TV stars. Yep...in THIS dimension.

[@tomf4087]

Did one of them marry Donovans daughter? Or did I imagine that.

[@rdubya2388]

@@tomf4087 Either we're experiencing the Mandela effect or yes, indeed. IIRC she's called Oriole. She's the mother of Shaun's daughter, Coco.

[@thebagelsproductions]

Is Donovan from Dumfries originally or something like that?

[@ashy7753]

Best interview ever! Bez’s arm at 3.30 is totally trippin!

[@shaunlodwig]

for people wondering what they are on i can tell you for sure they are on the tail of a speed sesh and smoked a few joints. Great bit of footage.

[@HamptonFarly]

Best KZbin advert! 😂😂

[@scottyk200]

This vaguely reminds me of a Jonathan Agnew interview with Fred Trueman and Jack Bannister.

[@sratus]

Blood out of a stone.

[@mana3735]

Fckin hilarious. Wrecked.

Off their brackets 😂

Theyre on LSD.100%.I know that"looking at the whole room all at once"look haha

[@mado7631]

There’s no way in the world they’re on lsd. If they are that’s the mildest trip I’ve ever seen

[@samuraininjarockstar9355]

They definitely aren’t on acid , probably had a joint and Shaun had his methadone but definitely no acid

[@richgreeeat8736]

You're one of these that love the idea of taking Acid, thinks its so cool, but never had the balls to actually try it, but i bet you tell people you've had some crazy trips.

@@richgreeeat8736 😂

[@gutz323]

Nah they are just coming down from the night before, they have been told to be as straight as possible for the big MTV interview, that the world will be watching. They don't want to be there, and can't wait to leave and get back on it. They are not high on anything here, maybe a joint or 2, but not on anything stronger.

[@arricammarques1955]

What's the style of the album?, Round with two sides + hole in the middle. Square on the outside?

[@plazaman3379]

Keep it simple like, huhuhuh

[@user-uz6zy6dt7i]

Holiday favourite Monday track

[@dickturpin4091]

Why do they look like they're constantly 1second away from laughing

[@marcp3788]

Drugs

[@RubyMarkLindMilly]

Because they're baked

[@O1NTM3NT]

Lsd

[@theculturedthug6609]

These two took more Drugs than Ozzy and Keef put together...

[@rdubya2388]

Absolutely painful. Like getting blood out of stone. How weird that they are both Goggleboxers now along with all the other light entertainment flumph they seem to get farmed out to do. 'Flumph' stolen from fellow Mancunian, Karl Pilkington.

[@adamtier3263]

Top lads 😅

[@O1NTM3NT]

Both proper tripping out of their heads on this interview

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Have they just delivered that Jukebox 🚚

[@jj-rh4sc]

Can we leave now.

[@freedomjudge]

This is painful 🤣

[@gutz323]

Ever heard the saying in show business... "never work with kids, animals... or Bez and Shaun Ryder"? 😂

[@rideshareguy5.0ridesharead46]

The dancing from Bez was better on that album….

[@909mrwill]

Should have asked Bez what musical talent he contributed to the record.

[@samuraininjarockstar9355]

Maracas 🪇 more than likely

[@margateswede]

Vibes

[@stuartmitchell1908]

Tell us you don’t understand the Mondays without telling us.

[@dave-jk6en]

Funny thing is, no one knows the names of the rest of the band, who actually played the music 😂

[@theculturedthug6609]

​@@dave-jk6enReal Mondays fans do, just casual fans who like a tune or two don't.

[@staceymcgrath890]

Keep it short lads 🤣

[@deborahhenderson149]

Bet they cringe after watching this back. The interviewer tried soooo hard. Don't know how stoned they were during this but they defo wanted to be elsewhere.

[@adamjones7924]

Only “ cringe “ when you use that word cringe itself . Why should someone be embarrassed about being themselves

[@dillonbird4645]

@@adamjones7924I’m actually gonna go to their concert on account of the fact I CAN RELATE TO THEM AS REAL & HONEST PEOPLE … and their music is fantastic.

[@dannybowden5296]

brain cell you fickwut!!!

[@ollyf5088]

They’ve just smoked a massive joint

[@ajvindiesel8517]

What talent did Bez have? I'm not being nasty, did he just dance silly? Or play or sing? Or write?

[@timc6669]

His dancing inspired the happy mondays to switch to a funkier sound. Listen to the delightful ep in contrast to Squirrel and g man

[@samuraininjarockstar9355]

Bez had the vibe , he made them different from the other bands , he’s an icon of rave culture , the E thing was a big cultural change and the Mondays were the pioneers of that ….

[@theculturedthug6609]

He did a lot. Yes he danced and played moraccas he also brought a vibe that propelled the Mondays.

[@superfurrygaz1]

He done the freaky dancing, he was the vibe man for live shows and more importantly he was one of the crew, theres no rule book says you cant have a Bez in your band, like Keith and Leroy in The Prodigy, he got the crowd hyped.

[@maxhammer4067]

He was the equivalent of the who smashing there instruments

[@MarcioSilva-ssiillvvaa]

Trying to be philosophical with the working class.

[@bobstermaher]

They seems tired with being on the road so much. Bit of shut eye needed.

[@margateswede]

I have a sneaky suspicion that Bez might be tripping his nuts off here

[@paddyc4370]

Shaun has really moved on but Bez is still an absolute spesh 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@theculturedthug6609]

Mate he makes a living being Bez that's literally Money for nothing. He's blessed.

[@eleanorwalmsley635]

He suffered MRSA which has effected his speech as well as a few car smashes and bike smashes

[@Paul-sl9zm]

Why is Bez talking about the music 😂

[@theculturedthug6609]

Because he's in the Band and no doubt helped make that music believe or not.

[@Paul-sl9zm]

@@theculturedthug6609 What?? Bez just danced on stage. He had absolutely zero contribution to the music.
