just let the man drink and sing Irish songs

My favorite interview. Rest in power, Shane. 🖤

OMG how did I only find the full interview now. My god pure fn gold. Bless Shane

Shane won in the end. It's his stage and always was.

Greatest video I ever seen!!! That man wrote pair of brown eyes what a legend

I'm Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Shane makes me proud to be Irish 🇮🇪

Idc if he’s still a drunken old man, he’s still the best songwriters I’ve ever known.

1:28 best "WHY!?" I've ever heard.

Shane u are great man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😎👍

Nice! Been waiting to see the whole interview. RIP Tom..

Shane gives me the power to drink more

''us and the blacks is the master race'' that's class

I love how you can see Shane get progressively drunker as that big gulp of poitin hits him

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!

3:40 excellent form on the headbutt. RIP Tommy

"of course I'm proud to be Irish" "Why?" *Shane snaps out of it for a second* "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHY???"

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

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

Rip Shane , Legend..

Q - who's your favourite woman? A - the virgin mary, i'd give her one. haha fucking class shane

Shane 4ever !!!

God bless Shane

It ain't water ..its gin......haha Shane you legend .....5 % blood ..95 % gin...100% heart n soul...his band mate put his head through the window for the interview..what more ya want

R.I.P. Tom McManamon

We Will Always Love You Shane💚Forevva N Eva😊💚

Shane McGowan is a hero!!!

I guess this is behind the scenes footage. ❤️

Legend

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

Happy paddy's day my irish blood brother and sisters across the world

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

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

So true!

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).

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

whenever ive gotten this drunk it just feels like ive been lethally poisoned

How is this dude still alive????

It's a kind of magic!

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

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

@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!

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

god this makes me wanna drink

whats the song called that he sings at the end?

3:40. awesome. hahahhaa. and yeah that song at the end is great :D

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.

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

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

Comes back in with poitin

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

Im goin outside i needa spew up

God Bless Tommy dia do beatha mo chara !

who is the interviewer?

Tom is *touches belly* PREGNANT!

Ah, the Poitín!

Ti Di ding Ti Di ding Ti Di ding

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

Che pietà

Legend's RIP lads 🍻

Could the amount of alcohol that's passed through Shane's brain even be measured?

Doesn't get much more rock n roll

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

You're drinking water right now? Haha!

@Silknitter87 oh baby thanks for sayin that!!

liver disease through poitin Tommy ?......if that's so I've already drank my death warrant this past 30years !......but still here ....it's a still life for me !.

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

Luk Alloo is a worm!!! Hope he will remembers that for the rest of his life!!

What song is Shane singing at 2:28?

RIP

Rip

Why would he mind? the interviewer isn't german.

whats the name of the song shane sings in the end?

The Irish are the most powerful people in the world! Only the people who are enlightened Know this .. ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️💪💪💪🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

I love how the interviewer keeps on embarresing him

did he bash his head through a glass wall?

Well, the inverviewer is Belgian. and it there wouldn't be an arm wrapped around shane, he would collapse. :-)

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...

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

Should have asked him how many beds he's pissed over the years

They got really a bad slosh.

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...

th Poguses, it's un veritable group !!! a = tradition, this is a verity !

As great a songwriter as Shane was in his day, that doesn't justify him being a boorish drunk now.

Is it just me or does Shane sing better when he's drunk?

Maybe this was a tough interview for you Luke but, boy, I had pissed mi self laughing more than ever. No stand up comedian could match these guys. Wonder if they're still alive, are they?

4:49

the POPES?

Sorry ma hehehehe muttley laugh

funny man, just maybe where I come from, floor-to-ceiling windows aren't lining every room so listen here hun collector, i'd prefer to spend time with Atilla. don't know who he is? hmmmm

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.

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 !!

He’s 💯 correct! Ireland is the Aryan Race 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

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

I drunk he thinks

The popes? Hahaha

What's the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish wake ? One less drunk at the wake.

Bye Bye!

Machtig!! Hell satan!

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

Ahaha poor luk,with that stupid little beer.
