Shane McGowan - Interview The Danny Baker Show 13.10.94 (HD)

[@dreamangus1505]

Christ wish Danny Baker would have given Shane the chance to speak. He's in love with his own voice. Twerp!

[@Zapgro7629]

RIP. Find me another person who is more genuine than Shane. He's positively brilliant. As real as it gets. Your art will live on forever.....

Why didn't Danny let Shane finish answering the questions.. And jesus, his energy is crazy. Shane was so calm and awesome. :´)

im not sure what you mean, can you elaborate?

Danny Baker obviously admires Shane. It shines through in this interview.

[@carmelellis817]

What can you do with someone who is drugged up and completely pissed? I don't think this guy had talent at all. He sings off key and I can write better...I have no clue what people see in this guy. He must have put his family through torture and he was selfish enough to put them through his alcoholism and drug taking. Do you think they liked seeing him looking a mess? To me his writings were drunken rants........sorry but I don't see it at all and he sings off key....and this is 'talent'?. I'm no fan of Danny Baker either he is annoying with a capital A but he is a smart guy.....He is trying to put Shane in an elevated light and struggling

[@Bradbull111]

Shane is so intelligent he takes the jibes and then shuts Danny down with a clever response. It's obvious who is in control here. Shane is a legend

What an artist, literally reversed every question Danny asked and sat there polite and respected.

[@juliemacdougall6489]

Bloody hell. This bloke likes the sound of his own voice

[@kimcallaghan3404]

He sounded like a proper bell end! It was more of a roast than an interview, his back handed compliment about Shane being a chick magney despite not being a good looking guy, I'd rather an ugly bastard than some pompous windbag who won't shut his hole long enough to allow the guest to answer his questions.

Danny Baker is a notorious motormouth

[@highburyhoops6074]

So annoying

[@dwaynederouchie5135]

Yeah he is brilliant, for all who thought that this wonderful man was nothing but a musician who loved to drink and make people smile, he was always aware about what people thought about and what was most important in there lives, that's what he wrote about, that's what makes him a wonderful man. He was always thinking about everyone else. Awesome man! Love you Shane.

[@darrenknight-n4i]

[@johnledwith5154]

Any adult who makes a derogatory comment about somebody's physical appearance is insecure and lacking self esteem. People don't have any say in how they are born into this world! So much to talk to Shane about in that interview but he decided to make it about himself, wouldn't even let Shane finish his sentence before he was interrupting him. Embarrassing..

[@britturk123]

He has the confidence of a Millwall fan, LOL.

[@SC-rn1uc]

Shane was way too good to be on these types of pretentious chat shows.

[@leahflower9924]

I dont think the host was ridiculing him. You get the impression he has a lot of respect for shane

[@tcbcmoto4895]

Shane was indeed a very handsome man beauty comes from the inside out 🙏❤️

[@irishking1414]

How Shane walked down those wobbly stairs just goes to show how professional he is

[@grannysgonerabid7425]

he actually looks sober in this one, but his gait which appears wobbly was due to an injury in the 80s when he was clipped by a London cab and didn't get his leg set properly when he broke it. Of course it doesn't help matters when he wasn't sober which then lead to an increasing number of falls and more injuries.

[@alicequayle4625]

​@@grannysgonerabid7425thanks for the explanation.

[@coletteneilson9947]

Shane MacGowan rest in peace , you were truly a very smart man, Danny Baker never let Shane speak through the intrview, very rude he came across to Shane. Shane is just so loveable and an interesting man, Danny Baker really angered me in that interview, Shanes Calmness and easy going i wanted to listen to him but Danny kept on butting in! Brillant person you were Shane . May you rest in peace , xo

[@britturk123]

You know it seems exactly like that but the truth is that Danny Baker had that style for everyone he badgered questions at guests,, but Shane is a cheeky cleverclogs even when drunk.

[@erinkitner7978]

​@britturk123 You've got that right about Shane! His intelligence, when he was afforded the time to get the words out, were far & above the people who did that to him. The amazing thing is that I don't think Shane really took any offense. I would have, but Shane is so easygoing & has such the clever wit about him, truly sober'ish or bombed. ❤

[@robert66186]

Shut up Danny

[@nickhodges3441]

I am too young to remember Shane in his prime, and although Irish music doesnt naturally relate to me being a southern Englishman, I cant help but be drawn to Shane’s music and lyrics. Fairytail of New York is seared into the minds of English and Irish people and we share in that. He spoke for the downtrodden and for everyone who’s life who didnt work out the way society demands of people. He also transcends being Irish and English in a way no one else has and it makes me want to learn more about Ireland and its history. I think English people are often guilty of ignorance of that and its born from the horrific discrimination and persecution of the Irish in the past. Every interview I have seen with Shane he came across as a lovely, humble and kind human being. There is a sense of vulnerability about him and the interviewers, whether it was Danny Baker or Frank Skinner, come across as complete insensitive arseholes. RIP Shane 🇮🇪🇬🇧

[@wainwright3]

What a wonderful and insightful comment. Hear hear from a Belfast born man living in southern England the past few years.

[@paulogorman9984]

Great comment FairPlay from a Nenagh man just 5mins away from where Shane is from

[@johntuohy1867]

Thank you for your kind words.Akin to hearing Tony Blair speak in Gaelic during a speech in Dublin. Or David Camerons apology for the events of Bloody Sunday. A monumental appreciation of Ireland and its people can be found in the writing of Englishman Geoffrey Moorhouse. " Sun Dancing".

[@SlowerRiot]

good comment but Danny Baker and Skinner will tell you the same 3 things: 1. You can't have "dead air" - they have to keep the conversation going 2. MacGowan and his management WANT to be on TV shows like this. It's all about money. 3. MacGowan is a genius.

[@joanhopkins1906]

❤

[@creudemeirepereira9664]

dammit, most of the interviewers just asked stupid questions instead of talking about the artist's career, like "are you drunk now?" who cares if he's drunk anyway it pisses me off

[@pow1983]

He did well to get to 65! Love it

[@Dryestvoice]

Every interviewer at this time was trying to make Shane admit he was always drinking,nothing is worse than Pat Kenny,at least there's a bit of humour in this rather than a full forward attack at drinking,whether he was drinking or not won't change the fact that his brain was phenomenal and he's one of the greatest poets and lyricists Ireland has ever produced

[@EJB2274]

I've recently got into the pogues and that's all I see with these interviews, was this a common thing to try and ridicule him? Because I see a genius after hearing his lyrics

[@leahflower9924]

Don’t agree, he was dealing with the hand he was dealt.

[@ROMANSv1212]

Shane did well considering the quick questions fired by Baker but you can see in his responses he often takes time to think about it and give a truthful response. Baker often interrupts him here before he gets to finish a sentence because it takes shane time. Its like Shane is operating in a different time zone, one that's less erratic and more meditative and I imagine he would write in the same way.

[@janetclaireSays]

I honestly don't know how Shane put up with all the stupid questions about his substance abuse. He was obviously living the way he wanted to, was more productive than the vast majority of people - so why not ask him is views on the world, or his creative process or spiritual views instead of wasting so much time in every single interview? He's gone now and nobody can ask him those questions. All we have are interviews going on and on about his drinking.

I used to like Danny Baker but that interview was downright insulting to Shane. I'm sure he left the studio in a rage. Impressed that he stayed civil through it.

[@erinkitner7978]

Most people would leave in a rage & I surely would...but Shane was so different than most people & he didn't get his hackles up too much about stuff like this. He answered honestly & usually gave them a much more clever quip that they didn't know how to respond to! He was feckin brilliant & just an amazing soup. I watched an interview where he was being pressed about the fallout with Sinéad & he handled it honestly & beautifully. I'm glad those two were able to make up later. Shane didn't usually hold a grudge too long & that was probably the longest. I'm sure he needed to let that go, even though she could have handled things differently.

[@andreasrausch5552]

I think most people in the comments have taken this wrong way. I found it a funny interview. Its clear the host respects Shane and it's just his way. What he was really saying was "It's awesome that you get to live on the edge yet write beautiful music that captivates people at the same time" He wasnt ridiculing shane, he was just using banter tactics

[@jamesredmond8684]

I agree he was a little bit smart a couple of times but I think he was only trying to draw something out of shane for the audience to understand him more... He weren't stringing him up and maybe even was pleading with him to calm down a bit on the drink
