Shane MacGowan recording with Dropkick Murphys

A short clip off the "On the road with Dropkick Muprhys"-DVD with Shane MacGowan (Pogues) in the studio with Ken Casey recording the song "Good rats".
Remember punkrockvids torrents? That's mid 2000's for ya. This is where I found this video and uploaded it in 2007. Frickin old, still frickin awesome.

[@rockvids42]

RIP Shane. Thanks for all the great songs and memories

[@MrRamone_CBGB]

I have been 14 years listening to Dropkick Murphys my favorite song of all time has been Good Rats and I ALWAYS wonder who sang good rats along with Al and Casey. Now I know… thank you very much

[@johnlittle7473]

lol oh my god, can you even begin to imagine

[@aleddavies9975]

To you all do not forget Shane is Shane, full bloody stop. If he had any different type of personality, he would not be the hero he is to so many of us. There are times ( thankfully not very often) where the thought of following his lead is quite attractive ! But we live in a differnt world. Please keep us entetained Shane.

[@koestenbraumstar1843]

exactly!! Shane is just Shane like Lemmy from Motorhead was just Lemmy.....you cant make them into anything other than what they are! Cheers bro!

[@spiderpromos]

I was lucky enough to spend 24 hours on the piss with Shane in Glasgow a few years back - most of the time it was just me and him. Ended up at the Carling Academy where Shane guested with Primal Scream. Naturally the audience went wild! He's a really interesting man to be with, very VERY bright. But man, could he drink. ....

[@1992Maton]

Would love to talk more about your times with Shane, please message me

[@josephcampbell2478]

Care to join his fb page set up in his honor

[@aquila813apologetics3]

what was it like? Was he able to keep knocking back drink after drink?

[@leahflower9924]

What does he talk about?

[@ygnir1]

he is one of the greatest poets who has ever lived. he is a living legend and if you ever got off your high horse to see the pogues live you will see thousands of people there listening to his every word

[@toonsis]

I cant believe how focused he stayed, Shane is usually a mess

[@oinkooink]

It looked like he was in full business mode. True pro.

[@mxer225]

haha that's quality stuff right there. god love em. both shane and dkm are great. if you don't like them... keep it to yourself.

[@viernoles1]

brilliant comeback. you are truly a man of wit, gremlin

[@gydha]

Hehe this is great. Thanks for sharing it with us. Shane is a living legend :)

[@PyroK8]

omfg Shane sings the verses in that song? Why did I never put the 2 together. MIND BLOWN

[@ygnir1]

ive had the privelidge of seeing him live and it was utterly amazing live. and his voice is class live and the drinking adds 2 da craic

[@papalegbass]

Legend 🥲 cya Shane Mac Gowan 🥳

[@19dec1981]

i bet the lads from DM were like little kids at christmas. they met one of their idols! nice vid!

[@OllyHutton]

Most beautiful man in the world

[@stikyard]

I see many people responding to Shane Macgowan videos talking about his teeth or the fact that he's shit faced all the time. All of which is completely irrelevent. He's a genius songwriter and one of the last living legends left. He wouldn't give a flying fuck what any of you think about his image. While you sit around judging him and writing stupid shit on youtube, he's writing brilliant fucking songs and living a dream!

[@maccoy68]

Nice, i've see the murphys in july and the poques in august.... Thanks !

[@TheBagpiperNo1]

shanes lifestyle is great, because he chosed this way. hes enjoyin his life and thats what matters. everyone is responsible just for his own body.

[@steveacker31]

My biggest fear is that one day I'll need a liver transplant and the only available match is Shane MacGowan's.

[@sylvienoel2982]

His liver was very strong

[@toonsis]

Another gold star for the legend

MATE....YOU ROCK! Punk lives!!!

[@dragyourhalo]

awesome post, gosh i love shane

[@sherlock72]

Sccchhhuper Shane, what a great guy! The only one and the best!

[@stv111play]

More Shane than the shits are worth LOL. lucky to have had a smoke wit the lad

[@stv111play]

weak drinkers by the river ya know> BELFAST

[@neilchair]

Little-known fact: His liver left the Pogues before Shane did. Then they bribed it back with an extra 2% of all record sales and, after a few months of arbitrated talks, it agreed to come back in a non-exclusive agreement with Shane. They're together forever now, haha.

[@targetcxd]

aha I always wondered what he looked like when he was recording that part... just as drunk as he sounds! Long live Shane

[@flojogrande]

That poor producer(!!) I wish I could be a fly on the wall at that recording session.

[@DianeDogma]

i never comment but....that made me laugh. thank you. :)

[@MutomboFingerWag55]

love these guys

[@Nigelxman]

When has Shane ever sang sober? Did I miss that?

[@bigboredthing]

@stikyard I'll drink to that! He's actually got a new set of teeth now, and he barely drinks at all. Good ol' Shane

[@GoofyNewf]

one of the greatest songwriters of our times

[@Viking166]

Ive seen DKMs DVD many times, and Ive never seen this, could some1 say where on the DVD it is?

[@KornmanUNstoppable]

funny how all this time I NEVER recognized Shanes voice in this song and I call myself a fan of The Pogues

[@benkissinger]

Shane Macgowan records with baseball rock band. Another sad day for the Irish.

[@CaptainEnglehorn]

Um the dropkick murphys since 1993, by baseball rock band I’m assuming you mean their game song Tessie which came out in 2003. DKM has been the epicenter of Boston punk rock for going on 3 decades. You have no clue what you are talking about

[@benkissinger]

DMZ was the epicenter of Boston punk. That was the 70,s

[@jerrybergsteinbaum8008]

Hey man...

[@HonRevPTB]

Damn Shane is such a brilliant songwriter! I wish he could real it in a little bit with the booze, it seems like such a waste cuz this guy has written some of the best songs ever!!!!!!!

[@paulpogues]

what do u mean by fake?? its straight forward, shane macgowan in studio, hes always steamin!

[@luvasdeamianto]

Shane,és grande!!!

[@Barbabapan]

Unimaginable... they guy is CONNNSTANTLY drunk! What am I saying?? It IS imaginable as I'm constantly stoned... Great guy. Lost his voice but I don't care. Live on, Shane! I still keep passionatly listening to THE SNAKE! "oooh... Daddy didn't like the clothes I wear... oooh... Daddy didn't like my hair"

[@joegibbskins]

@stikyard the tragedy of it is he hasn't written a brilliant fucking song in some time. it isn't shit talking to mourn the genius that has already passed away all that's left is the man and his legacy. i hope god has a place for shane where he can live with himself, because heaven knows no one's perfect and god knows there's something special about heroes.

[@josephcampbell2478]

Fool

[@hiccup2398]

go and shight! shane wouldn't be shane without the few scoops of the mad-man soup! YEOOOOOOOOO! STREAMS OF FUCKING WHISKEY!!!! :D

[@ShaniaMacFree]

@PIKLEWEAZL95 Shane is NO dumb, he´s sucessful, he worked for that and wrote his songs himself. It´s HIS life, let him live, he let you live, too.

[@alestormmm]

Drunk to hell😄

[@matOmalley]

Great video!'

[@toonsis]

I was walking to the pub "too ah loo rah loor rah" ya fuk

[@DianeDogma]

erm, the above was in reply to raceraaron26's comment

[@TwilightFalls]

This man, dvonzsix, is an Irish folk legend and a poet. Oh, and he's set foot on Irish soil before, which is more than can be said for the Dropshit Murphys. You think they're Irish music?! Think again. You just called real Irish music a drunk waste of time.

[@matOmalley]

Bit of easter egg action i shall say

[@bigboredthing]

ah Shane, how we loves ye. Ya know he doesn't drink nearly as much as he used to anymore. Still likes to get wasted though, i mean, who ever heard of a teetotal irishman?? lol he's great long live shane!

[@eisyone]

DROPKICK

[@KornmanUNstoppable]

@stikyard True but we are in image OBSESSED America here so yea we expect every last musician and otherwise to have perfect everything or else they wont support said person even if he/she is the greatest artist of or time

[@paulpogues]

he wunt be shane if he werent fucked. like that matt says, his lifes in god hands an no one elses! hes a fuckin genius an can do whatever he wants an im sure he dunt give a fuck what you or the thousands of other people who have nothin better to talk about than his health!

[@cheerydavie]

well said

[@dnh500]

fuckin legend

[@smichael90]

Agree.

[@rightbrigade92]

Shane is God!

[@Pervybilly]

Fuckin great and funny, thanks for the Video!

[@drummer78]

Your math is off, he was born in 1957.

[@Mandechuva]

How is he wasted talent, just becaues he may sometimes be, doesn't mean his talent is. I find it quite refined actually. If you don't think so, just listen to, 'The Broad Majestic Shannon' or 'Lullabye Of London' or more recently, 'The Snake With eyes Of Garnet' or 'Roddey McCorley'

[@mseven86]

boston is the irish capital of america, learn to love it

[@davevacant]

Thats fuckin great!

[@sourboydrummer]

ha ha, my hero

[@booldawg]

They're both 'lets pretend to be Irish' They'll always live in the shadows of The Dubliners, Paddy Murphy etc.

[@CaptainEnglehorn]

I’m confused as Shane McGowan is actually Irish

[@booldawg]

@@CaptainEnglehorn Born in England, returned to Ireland for a few years, came back to England when he was 6, went to public school etc etc. Even his Wikipedia entry desribes him as Irish/English. I'm not one for paperwork. You are where you grew up.

[@paulpogues]

fat chance of that! haha, i hope he does tho! Fuckin genius!!!

[@shayokami7410]

Sláinte Shane 🥃 I swear, if I ever had him in for a recording session, we'd probably end up drinking and jamming without recording anything decent, just please stay on tempo dude

[@davidryan7613]

Yeah Shane would absolutely love your femboy-hentai setup there pal, right up his street.

[@Oldwino2]

Also, for trying to drink his liver into his left shoe. While avoiding all dental hygiene.

[@leahflower9924]

He's so drunk haha Massachusetts punks ain't got nothing on this man

[@piefacex5]

actually I thought the russians had the biggest problem with alocholism

[@wlfman11]

His liver's gotta be so fucked up.

[@00Indy]

ther trying to cut that down

[@7mattduser]

@KornmanUNstoppable What about joe cocker? ZZ top? If there is a place that cannot ever be stereotyped then its america.....except for the stereotype I just used.

[@francesmcgloin9743]

,

[@Liamski06]

Wow, sarcasm as well as bullshit christian punditry. His life is in his own drunken hands. Been a fan of the Pogues since 1984 when I saw them in The Crescent in Belfast, had a drink with them in the pub next door and fancied Cait O'R. Try listening to a few more DKM songs, then you'll see that they are not that bad... Meanwhile, heroes fall harder than all the others. Pity, that. L.

[@francesmcgloin9743]

M9m

[@Nuiceltico]

(Shane) you canna sing when you're drunk laddie, being exploited ,sadly.

[@muziekenzo]

hours? :P don't know what kind of life u have but 2 spend hours on 1 song is a bit 2 much ;)

[@Andarovin]

hahah....he is plastered

[@MuchTheSame28]

its not so much hes drunk, its also the fact that having zero teeth can screw up how you talk and pronounce words. that, and i dont even know if its the fact he's drunk, its kinda like ozzy, hes just constantly fucked up cuz of years of drug and alcohol abuse.

[@ianbastard2000]

bet I'm classier!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Liamski06]

Shane, will you stop actin' the kunt and just get on withit. The DKMs are worthy of respect. Embellish and enhance them. Grrrrrr. Liam, London and Belfast -long-time-ago.

[@jerrybergsteinbaum8008]

Pretty sure Shane thought one of their buddies was Bruce Springsteen...

[@bigboredthing]

ah Shane, how we loves ye. Ya know he doesn't drink nearly as much as he used to anymore. Still likes to get wasted though, i mean, who ever heard of a teetotal irishman?? lol he's great long live shane!
