Shaun Ryder: Interview

Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays fame talks to Geoff Lloyd about his new autobiography Twisting My Melon and reveals some stories that aren't in the book like how an ex-policeman knocked him off his bike.

[@shanni-leighboobear2471]

I know the books been out for a while I've just read it couldn't put it down brilliant read much love to you and your family x

[@74mcfcbomaye]

A great great talent...

[@Rock74]

Enjoying the book so far. Loads of interesting stories and it hasn't even got to the Madchester years yet!

[@29crespo]

Shaun Ryder, a dodgy geezer who got lucky but you cant help but like him. Shaun says it the way it is and is 100% honest. Top man.

[@mozart7820]

got lucky? how about the greatest british poet since Yates.

[@M.2018-b3f]

Shaun Ryder is ace!

[@elbeanboymanchester]

Finished it last night, some good stories in there and its quite insightfull..........

[@mrc5653]

Absolutely underrated

[@74bomayemcfc]

superb.

[@kraftwerk3929]

worth watching this just to see Shaun's new Bee Gee's teeth

[@filled_soda]

I remember watching that Steve McQueen documentary on the History Channel or something years ago. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when the person on screen said that line.

[@Babania1]

Top Bloke!!!! Legend

[@coffeetablevinyl7955]

I've always thought he took that Twisting my Melon line from the Steve McQueen documentary. I saw it years and years ago and it stuck with me. Good to finally have that confirmed!

[@penguinsisnotughly]

He did. It said it in the book.

[@coffeetablevinyl7955]

Nigel McDonald Yeah im finally reading his book at the moment. It's just always been one of them things where Ive wondered if that was it, or whether I just imagined the Steve McQueen documentary all this time!

[@coffeetablevinyl7955]

Sean Milburn its been twisting my melon...

[@thesilful]

Shaun is one of the greatest, i hope soon he will make a super comeback, like The Stone Roses

[@26wordy]

the 90's were a bit of a blur, the whole fucking decade.legend.

[@MisAnnThorpe]

Why is there a photo of Neil Warnock on the front of Shaun Ryder's autobiography?

[@steevedaw566]

W.F.L. The ecstasy video of our time.

[@peacefrog1916]

Shaun and Shane MacGowan should do a duet...now that they've both had their teeth re-done.

[@PrisonBreakFilms]

is that a lennon - mccarney photography in the back? interesting, cos john never shared his microphone, it was paul and george who did.

[@losersoup]

Top guy man. So many good tunes. Best one for me is TART TART.

[@wythenshawekid1597]

Shauns the man

[@a1974h]

proper rock n roll star.

[@jdthelegend123]

looking well shaun just one question how's your memory thesedays?.

[@sicks6six]

how come you can take drugs that make you aware of every molecule and atom and not remember any of it afterwards, Shaun calls it a blur, its like Pandora's box, best left closed,

[@bn.z_x]

Maccaaahh!

[@duckwitharms1602]

IT'S DAAAAAAAAAARRRRREEEEEEE

[@fluxfotos22]

If you where to take magic mushrooms, looking at his head you would think he's chris evans.

[@davebantz274]

I thought it was him 😃

[@Paul_owie]

Didn't like the interviewer. Je puts Sean Ryder on his back foot from the start. you could just tell by Sean's face and I could feel it. 😐

[@PlazaMoon]

Has he got a full-on Hollywood tooth job, or is it my computer?

[@steevedaw566]

And we've got Boris Johnson for Prime fucking minister?!

[@SeasiderPhil]

My sister taught me how to read and write about 11 12 and got told I write like a girl and even now but ye Fuck it we did what we did. Forever Blackpool

[@ibenmorfinia1145]

he has charming new theeth

[@FannyShmellar]

I don’t understand how Shaun thinks he was a Rock and Roller. AC/DC are rock and roll, the happy Monday’s are good fun but they’re about as far from rock and roll as it gets hahah.

[@sashamoody1708]

@@FannyShmellar acdc are wank

[@FannyShmellar]

James Smith Your opinion, and a poor one at that. Fact is though, the Happy Monday’s are not rock and roll. Never were and never will be.

[@29crespo]

Geoff Lloyd, Jeeez what a prat, is he supposed to be an interviewer? He hasn't got a clue

[@nezratte]

it's dare

[@MUSIC4TRUTH....]

Shaun uses Mcleans!

[@TheBeastlyBit]

The interviewer is talking to him like he is a little child. Awful.

[@gromitpesley]

how?

[@booyahboyuk]

Hey I like Ian Brown, but you have to be honest, he's not always in key is he....

[@shanni-leighboobear2471]

why try to insult sean the person doing the interview bad ass all the best for fucture sean x

[@sherbert500]

proper legend.....knocking young boy manufactered x crapter shite off the top spot...why not he wrote proper music

[@discharge2331]

Groovy teeth shaun

[@jessicapowell8144]

Oh my god this interviewer is terrible!

[@DonHalli]

The interviewer is pissing him off.

[@booyahboyuk]

True, The Roses had better tunes but at least the Mondays had a singer who could perform on stage.

[@ProjectSkrillexNL]

sup maccer

[@steevedaw566]

Acid won't work if you take it every day unless you take better stuff in larger ridiculous doses each time,anyway.

[@robertpeston6692]

[@oldgit4260]

I've got a mum like Shauns, except mine's a cold hearted Jehovah's Witness who puts the mind control religion before family....

@losersoup Tart Tart.. Too right!!!

[@zydhockey]

What a crap interview.Crap questions and Shaun looks bored - he might as well had just read passages from the book.The book is a great read - counldnt put it down.I just watched Johnny Marrs version on joining the Mondays - far more entertaining ! The Ryder is a legend!

[@balearicsoundwave89]

it made keith richards biography look like the wanna be shit house he is.great book[shauns] if youv ever been at it ,you will love it.

[@discoverydavid]

Doing acid everyday for a year?! Yeah ooookkkkkk...even if it's true it would definitely be wrote for luck and not down to a "strong mind."

[@davecarpenter7266]

discoverydavid not forgetting the crack, smack and everything else he got his hands on. He's another like Keith Richards. Can handle his drugs. But look at them now.

@cross hatch That makes little sense. Legibility sort of breaks down half way through.
