Shane MacGowan - Angel Of Death

[@joshjuanfifarek7382]

I've seen Shane sing this a number of times during the early 2000s, and the 1st time was at the House of Blues Hollywood, which was the 1st time I met him and got to know him. And I swear to God he radiated a holy light. It shrouded around him. I was transcended to to a different place and time. He was otherworldly. I told him this, and he looked at the floor shyly and said thank you that it meant a lot because it was the 2nd time he had tried it live. And he sang it without a hitch. He was very sweet. Another rare song he'd sing occasionally live is an ancient Irish song called Graniulle. When he sang this I was moved to tears. So, thankfully, we are lucky to have both captured on recording with Across The Broad Atlantic. I really wished he'd recorded these 2 in the studio, but glad it exists live, at least. Fly away to your greener pastures, Shane OHooligan. The world is less bright without you but brighter because of you. Love jj

There are many who sing to show how well they sing. I prefer those such as Shane who sing to show how well they express living.

[@bsilva2146]

Anyone who says Shane can’t sing needs to be made to listen to this song non stop for a week. This is so beautiful and Shane sings it like no one else can. Thank you so much for sharing this

[@markgasmanprothero4442]

Totally agree

[@sorchaking4549]

💯% correct sadly I only came across it after Shane’s passn but have listened 2 it loads of times then looked at the original from Hank Williams RIP sadly hanks version doesn’t come close at all 2 Shane’s version

[@jasonpender2147]

Anyone can do that, it's a monologue

[@kingofthecatnap5422]

It makes me very sad to think that every party has to end. Love and respect for Shane and his.

[@KevinSullivan-ho2tw]

Shane MacGowan pays respect to Hank Williams. Songwriter to songwriter, it does not get any better than this

[@Gmoore54]

Rest in peace Shane MacGowan!

Great singing from Shane, but my ear picks also the banjo playing. Simple and somehow hauntingly pleasing to listen :)

[@spiderpromos]

That's dear old Tommy MacAnimal on banjo, who sadly is no longer with us.... he loved his drink as much as Shane, which contributed to his demise, sadly... He played quite a few gigs for me with The Popes when I promoted in Portsmouth, U.K. - including one GREAT night with Shane. Always drunk, but always kind and friendly... I miss him.

[@HerFatherDidntLikeMe]

@@spiderpromos I met Tommy many times in London and Dublin. A phenomenal musician and a lovely, kind, soul. Sadly, he left us way too soon.

[@damianhynes1738]

Banjo player was Tommy McMananan. Nicknamed the Beast. Sadly passed. Lovely guy. Worked with Shane after the Pogues

[@VK-vm4xe]

@@damianhynes1738 It's amazing that Shane is still alive!
