Shane McGowan is a hero!!!

Do you really know what a Hero is ? I think not

[@SubSonicDistortion]

It is very sad to see someone like this, great talent sad existence being out of it all the time.

[@augustwest4245]

Been to a few Shane & Popes back in ‘99-2001 as well as Pogues- To this day I haven’t been to a show matching the energy and commradery in those rooms. It took Shane an hour to get on stage, but once on, he was off the hook. Still don’t know how he kept up the drinking for so long! I needed a week to dry out after each show!

[@HaplessHypnagogic]

3:40 excellent form on the headbutt. RIP Tommy

God bless Tommy and all the angels bright keep him forever.

after a long of Googleing -> THE MODERN LOVERS- GIRLFRIEND Damned good song!

[@mariawarren847]

continue to sing good songs Shane . Never mind the media.

[@jacobfiil5918]

Shane's not a 'pop star' - when you're long gone and buried, they'll still be singing his songs...

[@breakweisernorthernsoles]

anyone who celebrates shane's alcoholism is pathetic, hes an amazing songwriter with a terrible flaw dont glorify his alcoholism

[@dannyscott7674]

Seen him at Edenborough ! Drunk and roll baby !! Guy is a all around good dude !!

[@00nayuta]

god this makes me wanna drink

How is Tom McAnimal so drunk, like, he's on a whole new level of drunkenness. He dont know where he is lol

How is this dude still alive????

buen viaje, borrachín inofensivo. reservame un lugar a tu lado. nos veremos pronto!!!!!

[@ShanOakley]

Trying to exploit the drunken condition of Shane McGowan. His genius outwits the "journalist" who is "interviewing" him, despite Shane being three-sheets to the wind.

[@isaross2710]

funny! I love all that refusing to leave when the interviewer is taking the piss

[@mattdonnelly9753]

I hurt my head im goin ow tha door i needa spew up hahabahahaha rip tommy mcanimal

[@seanod7157]

"The master race" to a German interviewer. That's precious.

[@stevie778]

the interviewer is belgian

[@Thomasreef87]

The "song" Shane sings at the end is called Girlfriend by Jonathan Richman. This version is a bit different though (but much better in my view).

[@thomasvlund]

@stigmaweb If somebody believes they are Shane MacGowan when drinking, then they obviously have bigger problems. This interview is certainly not a "bad thing". It's a fun interview with a great poet!

[@Thomasreef87]

It's a kind of magic!

[@alancat2705]

yep they buried him with his banjo in the coffin !...I remember !

So true!

Tommy says they’re drinking Poitin. A near psychedelic Irish potato moonshine

Long Live Shane! Maybe he just needs alcohol to breath instead of fresh air, as we normal people do. :)

The Person Interviewing Shane Shouldn't Have Been Near Shane While So Drunk,It's Shameful Because Shane McGowan Is A Loving Person,A Song Writer That No One Can Claim In Truth Isn't The Best Song Writer In The Last 100 Years, He Has Garbage Bins Filled With Brilliant Songs That Have Been Written And Never Song Nor Produced, Shane Made It Big In The Music industry And After He Is Long Gone People Like Myself Will Listen To His Music,Watch Thd Great Interviews And You Can See The True Shane McGowan, A Brilliant Song Writer And Musician, And So Loving To Everyone. I Hope He Lives A 100 More Years,And This Interview Was Terrible Because Shane Is A True Christian And Even Says It On Stage Once And A While,I Remember When He Was In Japan He Said He Isn't Worried Because He Won't Fall From The Grace Of God While Singing. God Bless Him And His Wonderful Mom And Dad Are In Heaven Now I'm Sure Watching Over Their Loving Son.

[@leahflower9924]

he sang Modern Lovers at the end lol

I am so glad this full clip existed! Haha, that's such a great interview, god how I love Shane, and Tom of course! R.I.P. Tom! The interviewer seems like a prick though...

I fucking love this guy:)id say hes a very sensitive man ,when the interviewer said to him it was a hard interview its like shane thought about it and was wondering why.he went into trance.just my take on it.maybe hes not sensitive at all maybe he jus dosent give a fuck...

[@bkingofbeers]

Shane is taking the piss out of him. And he doesn't even know it.

Who picked the idiot for the interview ? Jesus Christ ! Its Shane McGowan ! No secret he's been drinking since birth ! Lol ! Love ya , ye' ol' chap !! Carry on Shane ! Carry on !!

[@dondamon4669]

Anyone would be annoyed getting interviewed straight after a concert and getting told to sit down. Shane never grew up and was treated as special since he was a kid and was a prodigy even got a scholarship for one of Englands most poshest private schools

Doesn't look like fun type of drinking, drinking 10 points is fun but drinking pints of gin turn you into a invalid

[@skaface32]

I drunk he thinks

[@charlenee2751]

it's a sad thing to see someone so fucked up and pouring more gin. Harsh on the body, It would have been better if he was never interview and just told call us when you sober up. I think the world stood by and watched his self destruct

[@paulhamj6175]

Now he's gone. I finally realise the sadness this man so evidently carried within his vulnerable, beautiful soul. He loved to party and have a sing-song, but when everyone went home or grew older, there was Shane looking for his pint of gin, staring into nowhere. No one can tell me he was happy. He was lonely, shy, scared, and troubled. Who will ever know the source of his troubles. People drink as a side effect due to a problem. Rarely, is it the actual problem. It almost always comes along secondary to the problem(s). Sad.

[@FiresidePunks]

the POPES?
