bez is not on gear, hes never had a heroin habit. Did you know despite all the drugs hes caned he has never smoked tobacco either? True the effects of being the hedonists of the xtacy era does defo show now but bez is a legend...dragged himself up and out of the hard streets of salford thru tunes even though he couldnt play an instrument. think of the things hes seen and the life hes lived...not bad for a salford boy i reckon. An also why do people feel the need to slag off people in such a personal way all the time. A sad reflection of the times we live in. Big up Bez!!!
Thank fuck I stopped doing E`s and shit when I was young , looking at Bez now what a wreck . I was a MAD FOR IT sweating like a cunt top off raver way back when 88-91 to be precise , But now I'm a old fart granddad . RAVE ON
revol148 Bez lived a tough life when he was young, kicked out at the age of 16, went to prison twice at a young age. He changed his life completely, read his book freaky dancing , great read
Legend..! this man is as real as you can get. Respectful and a Gentleman, regardless of how he appears to others and those that knock him, he looks happy and has lived..! Done more with his life than some of us can only dream of.!
Bez isn't 'thick', he know what he's doing. He's earning between £150,000 and £200,000 a year. Probably a hell of a lot more than most of you reading this!
Absolute Star Bez Followed you and the Mondays all my life and my 3 Kids and Wife now Adore you thank you for making my years so happy lol Respect Forever
I've done as many pills as bez from back in the day and I'm ok. People need to get off his case as that was the life back then. I run my own business now and do fine. I am not as sharp as I could be but don't regret a thing. Big up bez and shean. That's what the 80's and 90's were about and at least can say I lived my life.

There are exceptions of course, but the idea of not using a credit card, of saying to yourself "no, that costs too much. I'm not buying it", of using cash (paper not plastic) is right up my street.
Yeah did fuck all.... Except practically imported an entire youth culture into the north west, created the vibes in a legendary Manchester Club the Hacienda and that culture has now circumnavigated the globe. Yeah not much there - legend
This is like the antithesis of listening to the happy mondays. If Happy Mondays are the night out then this video is the come down thre morning after. ps love Bez
To be fair in his case it was pure luck, he didn't exactly single handedly guide The Monday's to a record and publishing deal (he probably didn't even know what they were) and the reason he gets that money is because Shaun insisted on giving him points he wasn't actually entitled to. I love Bez but it was pure luck and not brains that got him to that position. Shawn was the one with the brains who saw the potential in having Bez on stage, because the rest of the band were musicians they couldn't understand the point of having a non musician on stage, Shawn was definitely the brains of the outfit
@Ian Mangham Type in a Happy Monday's song and then type in "Live" after it Is that a bunch of holograms playing the instruments? No it is indeed them, not very bright are you?
@@drexlspivey5828 AKA Musical royalties.................................. He did state that right at the beginning of the interview with Martin Nobber !!
Interesting indeed!...cheers Bez for all those great memories having seen you guys across the Country many times!!...Good one trying to get Martin to admit to where the money is coming from and the need for change! Into what though would be the million dolla' question??
5:35 "...That's because we've been sold into slavery,,, but there is another system..." Oops! let me ask you another question, the slaves don't want to hear about solutions to their predicament..." (paraphrased)
Just a shame no one came to help him organise his finances , how many people in small, medium or large business's of the music nature who are clued up on finances ?? Its easy to let success of a business drown out the important part of tax which eventually catches up to you as it did with myself years ago, BEZ is is a modest, genuine, and humble man I love him to bits !!
I love this dude! He's so down to earth and so honest. He's never pretended to be anything he's not, and he just is who he is. People tend to think he's a bit dim, but he's actually a pretty smart guy. I don't like how the guy interviewing him kept on cutting him iff and talking over the top of him though.
shook hands with bez,a foto n had a little chat with him,whilst he was on decks in a club in malmo sweden,bout 10yr ago...really pleasant,but his characterists were exactly the same..seemed absolute off his cake...but reckon thats how he is,and how hes always has been..just a nice lad.

Barrios Groupie He's had a rock and roll lifestyle of course. Though to say "Ooh this is a statement about ecstasy" is rediculous and shows you havent a clue what youre talking about. He wouldnt have been on ecstasy to dance around at gigs, for starters lol. More likely speed. If he was on ecstasy, he wouldve been gurning and hugging the band etc and wandering off etc, and wouldve inadvertently ruined every gig.

This looks like bez is explaining himself at the jobcentre..
good one.
:)
😂😂😂😂
Lindsey Hartshorn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Never thought I'd see Bez discussing international economics 😁
fuck
I bet Bez swapped a bit of Cabbage for some Beers!
Seems like a very financially aware person. I think he's a legend to be honest. Good man.
A financially aware person who was 2 seconds away from advocating for socialism 🤪
Everyone from Manchester is financially aware lol
Financially aware yet made bankrupt twice 🤷🏼♂️

Give it 3 years
LMAO!
He`s slouching,that`s all.

I thought the same thing. Had to do a double take.
You gotta love Bez, I'd vote for him as priminister..
Top man. Doesn't pretend to be anything other than what he is and knows we are all getting screwed by the man. Bez for PM.
He'd get my vote and I don't even like his dancing!
Met him at Starry Skies festival camping with his family, lovely family guy, top bloke.
Poor Bez, he just wants to dance.
Paul Ivey actually lmao
Poor bez over 100k a year and all he has ever done is be a shit dancer!!!! Fuck me bust my arse for minimum wage every week Poor me I say!!!!
@@thecakecadet8450 yep he was shite dancer , just right place right time but a nice bloke all the same ,
There's nothing poor about Bez .
Dance or dunce?
Im sure if Bez danced outside Iceland with his Maraccas he'd boost sales...what a star this bloke is.
I like bez he seems realy genuine 😎

Just under 90 after tax and outgoings funny last week a close friend said that on radio said he’s no fool, since he got his shxt together.
Love Bez, He keeps life simple and is genuine with it......Legend
Great guy. Honest. Empathatic and knowledgeable. He has had problems with money but who hasn't, even the richest people have.

Absolute gem of a man.

Hearing that Bez earns over a hundred grand a year is a slap in the face for working stiffs everywhere. Where did we go wrong in life?
Love bez he's a great gentleman and so bloody honest, have fun my friend 💞 x
