Shanes sings with his heart specially live it is just amazing. I prefer his voice on his later pogues/popes albums compare to red roses for me sounds more mature and "real". Just like the rest of the guys plays bether now then ever withs some new twists here and there on the old songs.

Since none of us know for sure why his voice is the way it is (drinking, smoking, age, whatever) any speculation about what stopping these activities would do is purely ... well ... speculation.

I didn't mean to offend anbody, and I think people are taking this all the wrong way. I'm a huge fan of the Pogues and of Shane MacGowan, but it's sad to me sometimes that I'll never hear him sing any of the old songs, and that's not just me being selfish. I agree, Shane has lived his life and will continue to as he sees fit and more power to him. My question was just more of a scientific one I guess; whether or not you guys think that with a hypothetical break from drinking and smoking his voice would regain some of its older range and power or whether it is what it is now.

I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm not insulting Shane I mean come on now. :lol:

That's a very, very debatable comment there. Surely some of the appeal is that they're as human as us, and admit to making mistakes.

I prefer the Dubliner's Nancy Whiskey to Shane's solo one, but the Pogues's is the definitive Waxie's Dargle, despite the cool version from a Netherlands group called Finnegan's Lads, who were the first to leave a comment on my myspace. I wonder if they're connected to this board at all? :p

Yes, Terry did too when he wrote it.

You guys need to check out the Sweeney's Men version of Waxies, it's on their best of "Legend of Sweeney's Men".

You are right Philip. His voice changed, but it's still great. We can feel through his actual voice what he's been through in his life and that he's not a little kid anymore, like he was on Red Roses for Me. I wonder, however, if he would be able to sing Waxie's Dargle. It's a great song, do you still play it live? Or is it one of the songs you put in the closet many years ago?


We gave Waxies Dargle back to Terry Woods, who wrote it in the 18th Century.

Shane has, does, and will, always rock. Quod Errat Demonstranythingy. What Phil said regarding the human voice is bang on.
