After the gig Shane apparently said “do you think anyone noticed I was a bit pissed?”

@RahulBery

Ай бұрын

was he just pissed? wasn't this during his heroin period?

It's at this point that you know that something more profound, more tragic and desperate is happening with the guy at the mic. He's gone way beyond having a good time and getting wasted with the band... There's lonely, sad drunkenness, and the guy so desperately needed someone, anyone to just say ...stop. 'Stop, Shane, and I'll help you.' Those words could have changed his life forever, but he never seemed to ever hear them. May we all learn something about alcoholism, Shane, and ourselves from watching this mans desperation in public that he lived for so many years. Rest in Peace dear beautiful Shane. We will miss you forever and a day.

Best effort by the Popes to carry this one through the end🏆 Still, I find it surprising that members of the band have hardly a clue to any of the lyrics. Weren’t these guys Pogues fans before they became the Popes or at least during that time.🤔

Sad to see Shane in this state, one of the most iconic singer songwriters of a generation. I first saw The Pogues in the early 80's. OK this video isn't The Pogues, but the is how we all know and love the man. The last time I saw Shane live was 2012 and he looked and sounded OK considering his demons and health. In that 20 years I must have seen them more than two dozen times, including when the late great Joe Stummer fronted the band and a stint by Spider Stacy, but The Pogues needed MaGowan.

I could have done better in that context just from being a singer and a fan of his writing .. these band members manage nothing but rattling out the notes.. I'm just nearly finished Richard Balls' biography of Shane.. In the light of that it's pretty amazing he even got on the stage over many of his years..I saw him and the Pogues during the late 80s and was never disappointed..

Say what you want about Shane but %95 of the time he was totally professional on stage. He would intentionally wait for the encores to indulge in what have you….So the night before Shane bought some Dutch hash cakes but woke soo hungry he ate the whole thing and didn’t know where he was but only n waves. He said he’d never had something put him in outer space slumber soo hard before. He said he kept getting paranoid about forgetting his own lyrics. That he just wanted off that stage and go home. Instead of all those faces looking up at him. Shane loved weed his entire life and always hade the strongest dope I’ve ever had so this had to be really powerful. Dutch stuff.

This is as bad as the last Pogues gig in Tokyo. He was pretty much a car crash during the 90's. Saw the Pogues a few times in the 80's and they were ripping then he just went downhill and just about held it together. Saw them at the Fleadh in '91 and it was pitiful. Very sad day for me so i hope he's resting easy.
