It's a shame the hunger dvd hasn't been released.

I have the DVD and it's great
They follow Shane all around to his home house (farm) where he grew up
also to some European cities...
he walks down the street giving homeless people money, etc.
he goes on a ferry from england to ireland and drinks and signs autographs for the ladies...etc...
lots of funny interviews with him, the band, victoria, his parents

I may have told this story on the fora before, but anyway.
He tripped me up in the street when he was in town last year. He said he liked my shoes and wanted to trade his, and asked all kinds of questions like who I was, what I did for a living, if I knew where to buy drugs (I nearly managed to sell him aspirin) or where to go out in Graz. Anyway, he was incredibly hard to understand, mumbling away and sometimes he'd just drift off and stare into space. We both had to repeat everything we said in order to be understood

Do you mean The Great Hunger or Completely Pogued? I haven't seen the latter but there are possibly one or two moments in The Great Hunger when it is horrifically clear that Shane is not quite with us.

Though interestingly if you look at him now you can see why he always says he is in good health - it's all relative. He looks ten times better now than he did on TGH. He does look gaunt on that programme and, at the risk of jumping to conclusions, was clearly on smack during that period. It's still a fucking great documentary though.

I think he was on painkillers for his broken leg or whatever was wrong with him. And possibly smack.

When you say tiresome, in what sort of conversation was it ?

by **Eyeball_Kid** Sat Mar 03, 2007 7:25 pm

I once had a chat with Pete Doherty and heroin users are indeed very tiresome to talk to. I haven't seen The Great Hunger (it really should be on youtube) but funkfuzzi posted an interview with Shane from around '97 and obviously Shane was in quite a bad shape in those days.

Actually there is. It you buy the Town & Country DVD you get a bonus doc called 'Completely Pogued' fimed at the time of the gig, features all the band, Joe Strummer, Kirsty McColl, Steve Lillywhite, Frank Murray and more.

Its quite good runs around 30-45mins.
