Well, there's no accounting for taste...

To show a different point of view, here are some fans' reviews of the show (originally posted to
PRS forum):
Just watched Shane on Skinner. It was great to see him in such great form. He was such a funny bastard I think he's great healtier everytime i see him. So funny seeing him with the false teeth in. Pity the Skinner crowd were laughin at him instead of with him.

I think it went ok. He won them over with the Victoria bit, the highlight was when Frank said that they had something in common, and as quick as flash Shane said "yeah...bad shirts" That was sheer class.

Was a great interview, funny and not all about the drinking and drugs........he seems in good frame of mind..........who knows what will happen after the pogues reunion gigs.........but one thing that shane should do is start the jogging, what a fat-bastard he has become..........finally, what a comparison to the interview on the late late show about 4 years ago, where you had a thin, gaunt shane hardly able to talk with those infamous pauses and delayed replies.........last night was much better. and i think that skinner done very well, not taking the piss, asking about the album's and the reunion............and indeed the false teeth was hilarious........

WELL DONE FRANK ! a great interview, although Shane was nervous he handled it well and Frank made him feel at home, I think Shane was looking the best I have seen him for years, that little extra weight takes away the old gaunt look, and what a wicked sence of humour he had, and as for the false teeth, good on ya Shane!
TOP MAN.
