[KLuchynski68]

Dubliners own it but Metallica does it justice.

[whyusucksobad]

[proudaltome]

Slainte!



[oooomphiziert]

I love Irish music! :D

[MusicStudioHits]

Could you stop talking shit about Metallica? This song is from the 18th century. Who says this song is from Metallica is fucking poser, because Metallica's album "Garage inc." just have covers, i came here to listen to the "original" version. And yes, i prefere the Metallica's version, but who cares?

[kcelvisfan11]

this sure beat that heavy medal version

[95XxRockerxX95]

WTF oO this is great i love it

[MrHelmyabdullah]

Good-humored Irish ! Despite more than 700 years of harsh and sometimes brutal English occupation and the Great Potato Famine , the Irish people cheered themselves up in such a way that even a less-than-cheerful person like me feel cheered too ! Greetings from Malaysia aye !

[djuckovic]

@NeUromuscular England haven't occupied Ireland for 7000 years.  History fail.

[allisafu]

you are still god, uncle Barney

[TheChiliconkarma]

I feel like a heathen when saying this, but, Metallica look bad next to this version, The Dubliners just have that much more power when tackling this song.

[OlafWachoski]

Wow Very very nice

[fabianeberle]

I'VE GOT A JAR OF DIRT, AND GUESS WHAT'S INSIDE IT!

[PFCFleisch]

@fabianeberle Okay, i'll guess... is it... Whiskey?

[elspanoo]

in the netherlands we say, pils in de pul

[rschwarzendahl]

Ich höre diese wunderschöne Musik der Dubliners immer wieder .. einfach toll und unübertroffen .. ein Stück ist schöner als das andere .. ..

[TheEIREGUNNER]

cant the people below shutup and enjoy the music

[yehonatankab]

כמו יום אביב בהיר סימן שאתה צעיר!!!!!!!!!!!

[homocide96]

Great, but it's the same without two banjos, a flute, two acoustics and of course Luke Kelly on vocals.

[Filosofem2008]

cheers..even its with a fine islay scotch

[nikko97144]

Norwegian version: Mjød in the Horn :D

[madzyboy]

@nikko97144 Ha ha, so true!! xP

[snailawayfan]

@nikko97144 whiskey is not mjød my scandinavian brother ;)

[ElsketAvHan]

@snailawayfan I feel I need to point out, that he most likely thinks of mjød as the stereotypical alcohol of Norway, as whiskey is for Ireland. :)

[snailawayfan]

@ElsketAvHan oww yeah I see, I read it a bit, thank you for pointing it out :)

[nikko97144]

@snailawayfan I know :)

[walliwutt]

Slàinte 

[boffen54]

cant wait to the 18th april when they come to copenhagen :D

[XGCScrappy]

That's like speed country.

[theDahmerTriple6]

Not bad, not bad. But the Metallica version rocks...

[Evija3000]

Irish music is totally addicting.... the more I listen to it, the more I want to listen to it =P

[XGCScrappy]

@Evija3000 It's music it won't hurt you. Unless you think having an irish mindset is hurtful. Enjoy.

[FL00DY126]

A true irishemens Poison ! .... need a refeill !...

[ivanos2000]

or my first

[ivanos2000]

I love Irland this is my second country in my heart



[johroo]

best version by far.Feel a bit irish when i hear this and i am dutch.

[lolsokje]

wait, maybe you're gonna hate me for this comment, but did Metallica make a heavy cover of this song, or did The Dubliners make it an even more awesome sounding song? I guess the first one! But still, it sounds awesome both ways!

[pestyfied]

@lolsokje It's the other way around

[SirCandyAss]

@lolsokje It was Metallica who made a cover. Thin Lizzy also made one too.

[KB4QAA]

@lolsokje This song dates to the mid 1700s. The Dubliners have been playing for about 50 years. Metallica wasn't even born. 'Nuff said.

[KittyStarlight]

@KB4QAA Hear, hear!!! ^__^

[IdRatherbeDeaddd]

@KB4QAA

why does it matter when who was born? in my opinion the metallica version is much better, and i dont even like the band.

but i give them respect, cause when metallica came out they made something different with music, with them style of riffs they did. the dubliners arent that much original, but this is an okay cover if you dont know the lack of music.

[KB4QAA]

@IdRatherbeDeaddd It matters only for factual purposes. It was a light hearted ending to a factual reply to an honest question. While I'm no Metallica fan, I do enjoy their version of this traditional song.

[patrickspoint]

@KB4QAA... You're right, the Dubliners have been playing it for about 50 years, but it goes way back before that. I would say it goes back to the days of the highwaymen. The narrator would appear to be a highwayman and he mentions rapier and pistol, weapons that were popular in the 17th century.

[peterboy48]

When you hear this don't you miss Rap? Not!

[TheDoctorGrasshopper]

but do the danes make booze or drink every one elses??

[UhimovichD]

Ах, эти ирландцы - великолепно!

[Flamingmetalsystem85]

I love them <3

[aper1970]

god song

[ErlingKlam]

"The jar is ever empty cus once I took an arrow to my knee"

[R8218]

Ich bin begeistert!!!!!!!!!

[92LiamO]

Great song definitely best version

[themitch1966]

An Irishman in Texas:

Monday: Drinking with the Texans!

Tuesday: Feelin a bit woozy(but ready for more!)

Wednesday: Swearin off whiskey because I loves Patron Tequila MUCH better!

[MrProoda]

I used to drink whisky, then i took an ar...... ah fuck it

[trevor6744]

It would be sweet to get hammered to this song. :)

[Farvai0]

What is the little mistake by Sean?

[MrSchmidat]

@Farvai0 he mixes up the verses, see 3 posts down

[bakerisballin]

I love this shit

[PARTHURT]

I'm sure when he wakes up, he'll apologise! (Fantasist!)

[R8218]

fantastik!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Farvai0]

10 012 misktakes were made.

[MsSuperSuicide]

Very good (; I love his voice xD

[Inkyminkyzizwoz]

What's the 'little mistake'?

[DrummerCoCa]

@Inkyminkyzizwoz At 0:22, he sings "I first produced me pistol, for me rapier she had stolen, but I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken". That verse doesn't come in until 1:12. The line at 0:22 is supposed to be "I first produced me pistol, and I then produced me rapier, saying "Stand and deliver, for ye are a bold deceiver", or some variation of that.

[PnKreas]

muy bueno

[infoSprayer]

Thumbs up if you were 10000th liker of this video!

[Farvai0]

[Majora99]

[Keef19661]

@Farvai0 No! Whisky was drunk by the Russian alcoholic!

[emilio8381]

[gersman1962]

I've drank with gambians, english, finnish, danish, germans, australians, americans and canadians. But I will never forget the time I partyed with the guys from the north side in Dublin. Respect! North Side!

[kvitterin]

[1983NAPALMSUNRISE]

Irish pride forever motherfucker!

[sevastianpetkov]

[Somespatanwarrior]

[themitch1966]

210 folks are dirty Englishmen!

[PopInTheClouds]

@themitch1966 Bit harsh init? I'm English and live in England, never visited Ireland in my life though I plan to once I move out and get a bit of money coming in, but I love Irish music.

[themitch1966]

@PopInTheClouds My mistake. I meant BLOODY Englishmen!!!(:

[AmberDedramb585]

[mccd45]

the best irish song ever. no one and no band will ever make a better song

[revolucionkapucha]

puta que es bakan la musica irlandesa wn!

[peterboy48]

Just musing here but, this simple ditty has more lyrical significance then all the rap and hip hop shit.

[APBriggs2009]

@peterboy48 And you can sing along to it too! Going to Ireland for new years! Can't wait!

[NourNZ]

the measure of a good muso continue even if lyrics are back to front or just plain left out, a great song one of my favorite irish songs. a great irish band

[portu15]

great song!

[SuperJohnnyv]

don't make me pull my irish out anytime any place love me irish roots

[JimmyThaCop]

This is what makes me SOOO proud of being 1/4 Irish, but 100% at heart....

[MissLotteHH]

@JimmyThaCop I know what you mean. But sadly I'm less Irish than you:  0%. But like you I wish I was Irish. Ireland is such a lovable country... Well, I haven't got any irish blood in my family, but the love for Ireland is coming from my parents... (We all are Ireland-lovers <3)

[deirdredaly184]

woop woop IRELAND XD

[Sweetmelody2011]

I love Sean but he always gets the lyrics to this song wrong, even on the DVD.

[sebbeas123]

@Sweetmelody2011 He has probably drinked too much in his life to ever remember anything right :P lol idk.

[TheSimvana]

Ehi guys, i'm Italian and i love the Ireland and the England!!!

[marosdebil]

try drinking with east slovaks :D

[ZicherCZ]

@marosdebil Been there, done that. I'd call the result a draw ;).

[shit924]

@marosdebil you try to drink with Macedonians ! XD

[peterfaj]

They messed their lyrics up a bit.

[GingleGangle1]

:D Whiskey in the jar and everything is OK!

[Socialsecure]

type in and hear me read:

Dubliners read by Dreyer from James Joyce on Youtube

[FreddeX91]

Heard a swedish version of this song before... it sucked... So here i am listening to the song the way it is meant to be sung! ^^

[mackebest1995]

this should be the Irish national anthem

[lmorgan1974]

Thin Lizzy!!

[Reak55]

"Mistake by Sean". I don't find any mistakes in this, the only mistake is that i wasn't there!

[BlackMethuzela]

i couldnt understand half of what he was saying lol

[MW23aglez]

aaahhh....! Look at one of the guys playing the violin with the wolly white beard thats perfectly shaped! you just wanna snuggle with it ;D

[Battlefield369]

Thin Lizzy version is better.

[ManicPoetRyRy]

@Battlefield369 Well this version is sucky, Find the one with Ronnie Drew or Luke Kelly singing it it'll make you weep. Dubliners aren't the same without Ronnie.

[ThePfefferkuchen1]

ouuuw. :D i had an language week in ireland and we learned this song and two others - no nay never and i'll tell me ma'

I LOVE IRELAND ♥

[MrNurten]

This version in many many times better than the Metalica version!!!!

[CliffBurtonRip92786]

@MrNurten I'm a die hard Metallica fan and I agree.

[JOHNNYCFC18]

@MrNurten ARE YOU FUCKIN HIGH

[jurasino5]

@MrNurten you cant compare this

[ZicherCZ]

Englishman in Ireland:

Monday: Drinking with the Irish ...

Tuesday: Nearly dead ...

Wednesday: Drinking with the Irish again ...

Thursday: In sore regret of not dying on Tuesday ...

[TheZokiZ]

@ZicherCZ try to drink from the Pole...

[ZicherCZ]

@TheZokiZ: Hey, I'm not English.

I'm Czech and I believe, that even the Irish guys would have some serious trouble outdrinking and outsinging us ;).

[Jadeee094]

@ZicherCZ Obviously you haven't drank with a Scotsman then

[ZicherCZ]

@Jadeee094: We Czechs fear no one, when it comes to drinking ;)

[MrSchmidat]

@ZicherCZ

when drinking beer that is. What about drinking the real stuff: WHISKY :D

[Kboman]

@ZicherCZ A Dane in Ireland:

Monday: Drinking with the irish

Tuesday: Wondering were Irishmen went.

Wednesday: Finding out that he drank them all to death.

[Bra23we12]

@Kboman

I've drunk with the Danes......

......and would like to thank you for attending.

[agentkapser]

@Kboman why us danes...

[DCashS]

@Kboman it'll take a lot longer than a day to drink the irish under the table! let alone drink us to death.

[Kboman]

@DCashS Not for a Dane ;D

[MiskyBoyy]

@Kboman haha good one but definitely never true :)

[Kboman]

@MiskyBoyy It's just more fun this way.

[Lordofcookiejars]

@MiskyBoyy Danes actually drink more than the Irish. Their youth even has the European record in the discipline

[MiskyBoyy]

@Lordofcookiejars Alcohol consumption is higher in Ireland than Denmark. Check the stats for yourself. World Health Organisation is a good place to start.

[AdidasGangster]

@Kboman I'm a dane, wtf?

[Kboman]

@AdidasGangster AdidasGanster?! lol xD

[KotlinaKongo]

@Kboman Funny, check out this one - the memoir of the american solider from the second world war.

Monday: Big fight with Natzis, we met Poles in the evening.

Tuesday: Big party with Poles.

Wednesday: Party continues, I almost get killed in Natzi's air strike.

Thursday: I wish I had died yesterday :)

[thomasthetiger]

@KotlinaKongo

you Americans are only strong from air strikes - on the ground... if you miss the coke and the cigarettes .. your war is almost over ... like at Vietnam!

[KotlinaKongo]

@thomasthetiger Dude, I am not American ;)

[Zatessar]

@thomasthetiger You didn't understand a line he wrote, did you?

[Keef19661]

@KotlinaKongo There is a Russian version of this joke!

[luclfersangel616]

@KotlinaKongo Nazi*

[Wearysugar]

@ZicherCZ hahahah xD

[LastTrulyPerson]

@ZicherCZ The same we tell about who lives near to Prag and come to Moravia and drink!there's still problem than they are absolutly death...after one night.. :) :D yop! :)

[ZicherCZ]

@LastTrulyPerson That's exactly where my comment came from, I only modified it for Irish and Ensligh people :)

[357HFC]

@CrazyiLMB It is called MUSIC!!!



[357HFC]

@CrazyiLMB it is called MUSIC!

[germancoke]

@CrazyiLMB if you don't like it GTFO

[necrokris]

@CrazyiLMB lemme guess, you're a metalhead who denies every other kind of music cause they are not TRVE?

[MatteV2]

@CrazyiLMB It is refered to as music and is a form of art whose medium is sound and silence. Common elements are pitch, rhuthm, dynamics and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from the greek word "mousike" which means art of the muses.

[germancoke]

I cannot wait any longer to go back... If i had enough money I would buy a ticket on are lingus right now.

[93Sarla]

By just listen to this song I want to go to Ireland!!! :D
