The Tossers - The Crutch(Live)

[frutrav]

God I love reading about people bitching about who did what and when, and who's better than who.... It's just great music, and we all love who we love

[nerdzilla777]

Score 4 the IRISH!

[nufan379]

The Tossers are Irish? Since when?

[bygmuff76]

You just sound RETARDED. Get a clue skidmark.

[nufan379]

A clue about what? The Tossers are not Irish. And yes, I am a fan of the band.

[bygmuff76]

If T Duggins isnt Irish American...then every article written on him & interviews Ive seen,he's just lying about his heritage? I disagree.

[floggingmolly265]

It dose sound like swagger dosent it? Probly caus they stole from flogging molly! FM wrote before 1997 and got it on CD in 2000, The tossers, 2001.

[a995599]

And FM sound like the Pogues, The Dubliners et al...your point? Floggin Molly are a great band. The Tossers are pretty damned cool too.

[ControledDisorder]

maybe thas cuz FM and the tossers are both using the same traditional Irish tune then adding there own lyrics...shite some of you folks are daft as fuck.

[seditionDP]

Really, if you bitch then you must know its a traditional irish riff. flogging molly and the tossers were not the first... nor the last that played that as their own. Really Common if you shop around and listen

[winske33]

There ALL variations of whiskey you're the devil.....written centuries before as an irish street ballad.

[chrispst]

The Tossers are great, I like them more than FM (maybe cause I'm from Chicago, too), but I don't think there's a better Punk/OI album better than DKM's first one, Do or Die.

[KyOlar]

Doesn't this song sound like Swagger?!

[WhyWhyWhyDelilah]

thats just what i was thinkin

[kdawg1111]

dude the tossers at the metro there is no better show from any other irish punk or irish folk band...they put so much heart and soul into that show everytime

[mastatsan]

I've seen lots of debate on the irish punk bands in the comments here... I am here to clarify that Pogues, Tossers, and FM are awesome, and DKM sucks... if you're under any other impression, it is my opinion that you are dead wrong.

[importsuck56]

DKM is much better than FM. Your opinion is dead wrong. You wouldn't last 5 seconds in the mosh pit at one of there shows.

[RoyRegular]

the pogues and FM kick DKM's ass if your comparing them from the traditional song perspective. DKM are the greatest punk band out of them all though.

[importsuck56]

i agree with you on traditional songs, but i don't care for FM that much.

[onebythepogues]

I'm with you on that one-though not such a fan of the tossers but their better than DKM

[jilokvos]

You must be the only one out there who considers themself a fan of Irish punk and doesn't like Dropkick.

[redrake420]

personally i like the tossers best out of them all but FM and DKM kick ass and anyone who says differently can go F*ck themselves in the true irish spirit.

[bakinmuffins]

//Personally, I find the Dropkick Murphys to be the lesser of band out of the whole celtic punk scene. I'd take Flogging Molly or the Tossers any day.

But for Christ's sake. It really is entirely about the pogues.

[bikeaddict]

DKM sucks huh? Feel free to swing on out to Boston and express that thought.

[j22thec]

lol, bikeaddict awesome comment!!

DKM forever!!!!

[j22thec]

But I love the Tossers as well, they both put on a helluva show!

[QtommyQ]

Actually it sounds an awfully like Slade's Run Run Away. Great band though, had the pleasue of meeting a few of them backstage at the Vic in Chicago when they opened for Shane MacGowan a few years seven years ago.

[haggismchaggis]

is this a traditional tune????

[hstyjn88]

Tossers are one of my favorite bands. They are however, not to be compared to DKM in my opinion. I mean, Tossers are a Celt Punk band and DKM is clearly and Oi! band so really they are differant sub genres and dont need to be compared. They both have thier merits. As far as Flogging Molly is concerned, They are a fantastic band and very few bands are thier equal, the tossers i think are one of the few bands that can compare to them.

[rcklssrnbw]

this song sounds exactly like swagger

[OztarAntoine]

Exactly...

[bob3lb]

I said the same thing when I first heard!

[matits2]

Where was this film shot at? It looks kinda like the show I went to with The Rev. in Lawrence, Kansas...but they prolly all look alot alike after touring for so long...

[pantoffelman]

long dim road is from 2000, swagger is from 2002 (or something?)

[padraigomuireagain]

swagger was on the original flogging molly album alive behind the green door (1997) and theyd been playing it in molly malones long before that

[floggingmolly123]

this song and swagger by flogging molly sound similar cause they are, both bands have taken an old irish tune and put in their songs, i dont know about the tossers too much, but i know flogging molly does this all the time ex. black friday rule, the likes of you again

[spabbo]

agree with allbusiness. I like flogging molly and dkm, but the tosserz are better. good song this, but the best one off that album, my opinion, is the ballad of NATO.

[straightedge217]

The song is "The Crutch" off of their Long Dim Road cd.

[LordOfNumenor]

Okay video. Song sounds like Swagger by Flogging Molly, though I've never heard it with words before.

[AllBusiness37]

This band has been around longer than both Flogging Molly and DKM. (They're better then both as well.)

[slalomcutf1]

flogging molly doesn't even compare!

THE POGUES AND THE TOSSERS! THAT'S IT!!!

[adombomb222]

Agreed!

[hstyjn88]

Pogues and Tossers are great, ill give you that, but ive seen them all live and i think FM and DKM put on better shows. Tossers new album s golden though!!
