Shane MacGowan's Greatest Clips
10:19 AM GMT 07/01/2010
Punk tyro turned folk rebel turned vermouth-basted soul survivor, over thirty years of rocking and Shane MacGowan has redefined the word "incorrigible". This month, the Pogues legend turns up, rather unexpectedly, in MOJO magazine, to pass on his pearls of wisdom regarding music, Ireland, haircare: all the important stuff. Meanwhile, whet your appetite for one of the great MOJO interviews with this array of eye-popping live performances and, er, whatever the opposite of live performances are...
-----------------------------------
1. The Nips, Infatuation, 1979-ish
Energy. He once had some. Boggle your mind as Shane scares German television audiences with some middling punkabilly.
2. Sally MacLennane
He looks almost lovely in this OGWT from 198?. What a line-up. What a tune.
3. The Wild Rover with The Dubliners
Shane pays tribute to his rough-arsed folk lineage. Imagine a drinking contest between these lot.
4. If I Should Fall From Grace With God
From 1989?'s Peace And Love, this could even be The Pogues' greatest song. Geek fact: did you know that Pogues banjoist Jem Finer's dad wrote this?
5. Wonderful World
Helping make Nick Cave look healthy in 1992?. Dig the sinister shroud of darkness - as if, like the Elephant Man, he might be too hideous to behold!
6. That Woman's Got Me Drinking
From the underrated first Popes album, The Snake, not even ruined by Johnny Depp on guitar. Prizes for explaining the brown sauce on the baked-potato in the intro and who the hell that presenter is...
7. The legendary "Very Drunk" interview
Yes, the one where his mate walks through a wardrobe door. Over a million views and rising...
8. Shane sings! In a pub!
Hilariously reverential clip from BBC documentary. Shhhh!
9. The "Podge & Rodge" interview
RTE's puppet interviewers share worst-case Shane-scenarios. Which all, quite naturally, come horribly to pass. Quake in fear at Shane's "death rattle"!
10. On The Frank Skinner Show, 2004
Does that laugh like a "stone caught in a lawnmower" (© MOJO's Will Hodgkinson). Drinks some water. Doesn't like it.
11. RTE People In Need appeal
This is too good to spoil in any way...
12. The Nips, 100 Club
And back to the beginning... With some help from Johnny Moped.

Where's the clip from his gardening show 'Victoria and Shane Grow Their Own'? Not a joke. He appears with his missus on a documentary style TV show with Stephen Rea narrating. Strangely entertaining.

PS: I should have added he's a bloody legend and a miracle of science. Nice collection of clips.

God, mojo - you are so lame you can't even be bothered to look up and see when sally maclennane was on OGWT. You are meant to be the last word in musical knowledge but we get offered 198? as the date. And "If I should Fall" from "Peace & Love"?? Come on! Real s**t journalism. Not to mention being taken in by dumped pope Paul Mcguinness looking to get some press for his new album (featuring Shane Macgowan is printed large on the cover even though ole Shano just guest-groans through a couple of songs). Quite funny really, when the most up its own arse publication on these shores gets scammed by a 58 year old junkie! Ha Ha well done Paul! Come on Mojo, don't use your right to censor & delete this post - lets have a proper answer! Why should i be expected to shell out nearly a fiver for your magazine when you are so bleedin' lazy? huh? Huh?

Yeah, what a waste of space that interview was... blah blah falls in a ditch... blah blah... fairy forts... blah blah wild marijuana... jeez. the same old, same old. you could get that kind of interview with kelly Jones or prickface from the Razorlights. Why must you carry on giving the readers what they want MOJO... yawn... it's so predictable. The magazines have been full with shane macgowan interviews recently. Thankyou for your inshiteful comments Pizzoli!
