I met Shane in London once on my girlfriends birthday. When he found out he immediately bought a round and joined us for a drink and a chat. A truly lovely man.

[@j.d.o5709]

A rare spell of lucidity from him really reveals how bright, sensitive, and intelligent he was.

[@louisegoodyear2515]

"I'm a man you don't meet everyday" Shane McGowan, personified! 💔✨

[@marcj4788]

It's sad that only in death do people realise how gifted Shane mac'gowan was, a poet, songwriter singer and most of all didn't care what people said about him or his appearance because Shane was real and modest, rest in paradise legend and we will never forget you ❤🙏💚🇮🇪🇮🇪🍻

[@damotheman4196]

Jaysis man he was revered... Well, by anyone who has a clue at least😂 those who didnt are few (and wrong) I take your point though "everyone loves ya when your dead"

[@marcj4788]

@@damotheman4196 yes I agree with you, most people knew him for 1 song and didn't know how gifted he really was, the song rainy night in Soho is one of the most underrated songs ever and it's an absolute beautiful song that hits the soul and heart but it is sad he will be more known now than ever but he's an underrated legend,if that makes sense 😂👍

[@tinamullan7494]

Loved him when alive,smart man 💚🤍🧡

[@user-mo2st1mu9u]

Such a sweet kindhearted man. RIP Shane truly missed 😢

[@timothymeehan181]

You know there’s a ton of intelligence to him, given all the amazing songs he’s written, but too often the drink has obscured it. Nice to see how lucid he is here, and how clearly the brains & talent shine forth…🙏☘️🎶

[@SUPERLEEDSYRA]

A genius. This is the most lucid interview ive ever seen from him. R.I.P Shane. A sadder world without him.

Great to see this. I was doing the camera for the interview back then! Shane is a sweetheart of a guy indeed!

[@ericnordmeyer6037]

@@oinkooink he prefers to have a good chat or discussion to any interview. The questions not being very challenging and slow sure didn’t help. As soon as we went on to talking other stuff than him he was more into it. Oh and as soon as the camera was off anyway ;-)

[@aodhan2023]

My fav Shane MacGowan interview bar none. He is at his cantankerous best here. Superb

[@wow95139]

I met Shane a couple of times in the early 2000s. He was a Gentleman. A little story : I met him in Killarney, Ireland and was chatting with him. My daughters who were kids at the time came in and Shane's first response was to take money out of his suit jacket and demand "Buy the children a drink. Love Shane. R.I.P.

[@HerFatherDidntLikeMe]

That's lovely and so typical of Shane as I knew him. I spent time with him when he was working (gigs etc.) and "off duty". He was typically polite and kind to most people. In my experience, he was especially well behaved around kids and the elderly. For instance, he'd be careful not to use "bad language".

[@vincentc1454]

If that interviewer was travelling from Germany to France, he would fly via Cambodia

[@russdoyle6025]

Finally a great interview with Shane, where he has something to say, and the interviewer lets him talk.

[@jennifersawyer8207]

I felt fortunate to see him three times over the decades in SF, CA. I knew the last time I saw him would be the last. What an incredible artist despite his debilitating addictions.

[@user-cg6kc1ie3l]

I have. met him at a gig they played in north London many years ago. Had a chat and a beer with him. He was not wasted, just tipsy. Thought he was quite clever, very humble, very sensitive, extremely easy to talk to,, it was like talking to a friend, funny and really kind. His sensitivity transpired when talking to him in person. He was nice enough to come along to give my boyfriend at the time, who was a big fan, a surprise. That's over 30 years ago. We were young. Thought he was a top bloke and he even sang me a song when he went back on stage. It's a wonderful memory! He was an excellent human being too! Rest easy Snane!!! 😢

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

Good times got in the way of writing more brilliant songs God blessed you Shane and you shared your gifts with all the people all during your life, Shane is now resting in eternal peace and has met up with his main man Brendan Behan

[@cavewaller]

Not sure Behan was know as someone for having a peaceful time with actually a mate of mine did meet BB in a pub an when I asked what he was like ? said “he just did not give a fuck” (for what it’s worth)

[@dondamon4669]

[@davidlinehat4657]

shane's so well here! i've seen him live about 12 times and I've never seen him so well

[@dondamon4669]

He was so shy and was a genius and it was spotted when he was a kid and git a scholarship to one of England's best schools

[@philipcrawford9000]

Absolute legend enough said

[@dondamon4669]

One of the best things and saddest things to happen to music best because he gave us songs that will last forever and saddest coz it only lasted 5 years really of genius songwriting and singing. Once he became dependent he lost his mojo and the drink n drugs stop working they will never work again and he just accepted being an addict and never git his inspiration back but he still done enough in those few years to make him live well forever but i don't like it when people romanticise the drinking and drugs as he himself wanted to stop but people dont realise he had mentally health along with addiction like most abd was on doctors drugs. Ive looked and been like him in the past during my worst times that my nickname was his name so fir him to still go on tour feeling sick, anxious,hheartburn, depressed, diarrhea, vomiting,tired, weak, no food, not wanting to be seen, feeling ugly, shows hhe is a hero and he is a hero to me as he doesn't seem like he would want to hurt a fly, just wish could of sern what he would of achieved without addiction and people cant say it helped him as he did all his best work when not full blown addict, it can help at first but not for long. Wish we had more interviews like this as Shane was in the top level of intelligence in England why he got a scholarship. RIP SHANE MACGOWAN O HOOLIGAN

[@leahflower9924]

it still is funny to me they kicked him out of the Pogues it's like kicking Jimi Hendrix out of the Jimi Hendrix Experience lol

[@indelible14u]

Absolutely spot on ! 👍😊

[@29memyselfandi]

Ah but so much chaos is hard to put up with. Like when they were supposed to be flying to the States to support Bob Dylan and Shane couldn’t make it coz he’d taken too much acid. I love Shane’s work- a true original- I’ve met him and he was a gent. But any band would find it difficult to function with him. Anyway may he rest in peace the legend.

[@Baby-dl8yp]

I wish i could have kissed him lots of times . Soul filled with passion for LOVE, injustice and Empathy above all. Im anguished like that. I love him ☘️

[@Maddest404]

I've been on a Shane binge, and this footage is probably the most lucid and active I've ever seen him, compared to most footage on YT. Good interview, amazing artist. Love Shane! Did he seem kind of annoyed to anyone else?

[@theliamofella]

Nooo I don’t think he looked annoyed, it’s just his genuine and honest demeanour that makes him seem like that I think, (not sure if you get what I’m trying to say) Like he only smiles when he feels like it and his replies are strait down the line and contain no body language to make people like him as he dosnt care) but I know he hates confrontation and he is extremely generous and empathetic

[@ninaturner1546]

@@theliamofella yes I agree with you. Also he was never a nasty drunk either.

[@luketaylor1515]

Look for the pogues special by antoine decaunes he’s even more coherent there

[@fangpili]

He got a lot of banal, inane questions in interviews and it irritated him but he was a gentleman who tended to be courteous regardless, even when people misunderstood and tried to patronise him.

[@dextadune3369]

Binging now as well.

[@faithnaidoo7647]

He looks like Liam Nelson's brother.Rest well Captain.😢😢😢

[@dondamon4669]

Love this interview and wish he was like it more!! Love it if he got well before to old and showed everyone who don't know anything about him how intelligent he was and his real self but you can tell he is shy and hates the questions! Probably the nost normal rockstar. I imagine how my uncles would be in these situations been asked these questions as nd they'd be the same, just thinking "fecking hell your asking me about when i was a kid" 😂

[@seanmeehan-js5kh]

Shane is hilarious in this. 😂 Nice to see him having a laugh 👍😊

[@willywhit]

Could they not find someone to interview him with much more experience? Especially since Shane is lucid and articulate. Thanks for sharing this

[@josephcampbell2478]

Full blown alcoholic since 19

[@erinkitner7978]

@liam.4454 Shane was going to do what Shane was going to do, despite any people pleasers or anyone trying to do some sort of intervention on him. He was not about that. He believed in casting no judgements on how anyone decided to live their personal lives & was so graciously charitable to others who had less than him, which he wasn't super flush with money most of the time. Anyway, many artists, unfortunately for us, but maybe not them, go down the road of substance usage that to us would be over the top. But no one would change Shane's mind about the drink or the drugs... Only he, himself, would ever make that decision. But he often spoke up & recommended that people not do what he did, though I believe he thought the drink was pretty ok, esp for an Irishman.

[@user-yh3xm3zo9l]

It’s great to hear a guy that don’t give a shit what anyone thinks,,, the world would be a greater place if we had more like Shane,, hell to this political correctness crap,, and most of all why no freedom of speech anymore,,, I’m a true Irish republican man and not very popular by any means,, as for what I say,,, Christ sake when some numpty comes to my table collecting for help for heroes,, flashing poppies in my face ,,what should they expect,,, an Easter Lilly in return 😂😂😂😂🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️☘️
