      It is quite alright to faulter, stand up and try again-again-again, nobody is perfect. Take every opportunity to find something that inspires you to keep sober. There is inspiration/motivation to be found around you every day. The homeless guy in the corner earning his money instead of begging, the handicapped person still being positive, the Joe Schmoe working two jobs, the Lisa Doe raising four kids, the pastor giving you a job...you know what I mean...whatever keeps you going and staying off booze. If you booze, then try to help others meanwhile. For every 5 drinks you have, do a good deed...help cleaning the bar ;-). Exhausting. It will make you feel good about yourself, things will turn around slowly over years....

    He has no teeth which explains the noise when he laughs. Shane isn't as bad as you might think. Yes, years of drinking have taken it's toll on him but you only ever see footage of him drunk when he's onstage or at at these celebrity bashes. The woman with him is his girlfriend Victoria and he's well looked after. If he drank as much as everyone thinks, he'd have been dead years ago. The end comment he makes about Paul Weller is that he was "sorry to hear about his old man" because he had just passed away. Long live Shane, I think he's a fantastic songwriter.

    • @paulcarr5918
      @paulcarr5918 10 лет назад +11

      Well he may have cut back since it was made, but he made no secret about the fact that he was in fact drinking as much as everyone thinks in 'If I Should Fall From Grace', and Victoria was more of an enabler than looking after him. He does seem to have gotten it under control to some degree from what I've seen of him since 2012, but I can't imagine the damage hasn't already been done. I still think he's great, but to try and say he wasn't drinking so much or else he'd be dead is a little short sighted, because it's probably incredibly lucky that he isn't dead

      @rockhardioallcock6059 5 лет назад +2

      Romain Novarina by the way, if you enjoy Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds as well as The Birthday Party (I still love them) then maybe try Boys Next Door. Still Nick Cave singing but earlier than The Birthday Party. Try songs like Shivers, Nick The Stripper, Release The Bats, She’s Hit, Tupelo, The Weeping Song (with Blixa Bargeld singing) and even through to Red Right Hand and so many more. Also if you like old grating German industrial then check out Blixa from the Bad Seeds old band Einsturzende Nuebatent. (I didn’t check my spelling but I must be close) That dude has a scream like an insane woman being boiled alive in a vat of tar. It’s a thing of beauty. You can hear it on Stagger Lee by Bad Seeds. And sadly I’m sober too....
