Does Shane Need To Clean Up His Act!!!!!

**Sat Apr 09, 2005 9:55 pm**

Does Shane need to clean his act up to a) make for a better show and b) to live longer?

Would the shows be more blad and boaring if shane didn't have a drink with him.

Would you be able to enjoy the music and understand the lyrics better if Shane wasn't pissed.

post yr thougths.

he should. it would do everyone good to clean up his act.
i'm sure it's physically impossible for him, now. the stages of alcoholism he's in, now. most people die before. everyone should stop drinking, really. but...he should seek help. yes.

what's sad is...it's impossible for him to just have one drink. if he had a coupla drinks, came on stage...it'd be great. he's gotta down 3 bottles, though. it's all he knows, though. he knows drinking, smoking, singing, dancing. not in that order. but... i drink and smoke as much as anyone, i hope to grow out of it, though. like a lot of people do.

i c wot u mean but shane probably doesn't need a drink 2 get pissed i'd say he's at the stage he wakes up as pissed a wen he goes to bed that night.

To be fair he's cleaned his act up quite a bit.

All i want for Shane is that he is happy. He looks bether now then he has for years. His lyrics are classic drunk or sober. who are we to judge howe he lives his life? I guess most of us dont like others to tell us what to do. Shane could never have wrote many of his songs if he did not know about the "dark streets"

He hasn't got new teeth but Shane is the healthiest now that he has been in years. Arguably since about 1987.

may not be drinking as much cause he was a fat sod at xmas shows i was at the london one.

don't be to harsh giving up drugs and cutting back majorly of alcohol is a hard thing to do, at first he was proably replacing these things with food, but in all fair he's done well to lose the weight and the drugs and alcohol intake.
