Shane performing on "The Lone Ranger"

[philipchevron]

So by process of elimination, it's The Pogues.

Not possibly an older Popes recording?

Shane was already doing the "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf" version by the time he left the Pogues. Is there any reason, Paul McGuinness's shillelagh aside, why he would revert to the Nice lyrics at that point?

Mmmmm....... Very cryptic. Nice lyrics because he was asked not to curse due to general release?

I noticed this album isn't the soundtrack but "music inspired by the movie". The soundtrack is instrumental.

I'd assumed it's Nice lyrics because it's Disney-related, so Naughty lyrics are not allowed?

I see. I was rather assuming they'd found a Nice vocal back in the mists of time, but i take your point - it could be an all new enterprise. Could it?

Definately a new vocal. But why re-record it when the result is almost identical to the original? Since you're being coy about this, my next guess is it was recorded off the desk at a sound check for the Paris DVD gigs. But if so (or similar) why credited to just Shane and not The Pogues?

Come on Philip, you're such a tease

You say definitely a new vocal? Based on what? And really, I'm not being coy, I'm just trying to get an answer to the same question you yourself pose at the end.

This is intriguing. I'm pretty certain that I haven't heard this particular vocal before. But then again, from Shane's voice on the recording it sounds like it could've been recorded years ago...

I'm saying new vocal because of the toothless sounding diction. Also he doesn't sound as sharp as he would have 25 years ago. it's a cracking vocal if it is within the last few years but that shouldn't surprise as the Paris dvd is the best I've heard him since 1988.

OK I am persuaded. But who's the band?

After yet another listen, yes, that is persuasive. And yes, it is still a cracking performance.

I can't be doing with this. I'm off over to the Silvermines to find him and ask him myself. Back in an hour, sooner if he tells me to feck off and mind my own business.

Edit. Only joking, I'm in Kinsale on me holliers.

Definately a new vocal. Seems like Shane's voice has recovered quite a bit in recent years (or is it modern studio and recording technology? ^^), sounds pretty cool really. Band doesn't sound like the Pogues at all, more like an average cover-version of the Pogues. But overall really nice recording, is it in the film itself?!

I'm guessing not, as it's not on the official soundtrack CD, but on another CD subtitled "Music Inspired by the Film". Which seems a strange way of putting it, and probably entirely the wrong way round, as most of the songs surely predate the movie? Maybe, given the producer's comments ("These are the artists we listened to on the way to set each morning and in the evenings with the dust, like bitter chalk, upon our teeth"), it should've been "Music that Inspired us during the Making of the Film"?

If it's [some of] The Pogues, we need to know!!

..but then why would it be credited to Shane alone if it's got three other Pogues on it?

Unless they are being mischievous perhaps.

...of course it could just be some random session musos.
