The Shankill Butchers cover

[BlackIrish1916]

this song is a true story...

of a loyalist group that took innocent irish catholics and would keep them weeks at a time, tourturing them,then they would butcher them and dump their bodys by the a road were it could be found,

[RockyHater]

NO SURRENDER

[YeZhik5]

Dude something with you and pronunciation of english words lol so you have an accent, nice. But you jumping notes with your voice, in the original it's more of monotone except for some parts, and also this is a faster tempo

but then again this just a cover, and nice job ^^

just little thoughts, don't take it the wrong way :D

[Warpcrawler]

@YeZhik5 Thanks, I appreciate any and all criticism. :)

[1873wullie]

geeek

[weesox1690]

They fought for wot they believed in,at a time it woz a dog eat dog world in belfast kill or be killed. Wasnt nice wot they done but hey cant really blame them.

[court1357]

great cover!!

you have a nice voice!

[Warpcrawler]

Thank you! :) This is really old though, I ought to do something new soon!

[court1357]

Yes please do!

I would listen!

[LukiBequi]

That was a beautiful rendition of a fabulous song.

[vengefulasparagus]

I love your Abraham Lincoln shirt.

[Venosaur]

@vengefulasparagus

Yeah, I also think that Abraham Lincoln and James Dean was the same guy.

[vengefulasparagus]

@Venosaur :/

[vengefulasparagus]

@Venosaur :3

[ActaNonVerba11]

good work. good talent.

The original is slow but I liked how you picked up the pace a little bit.

would sound good with some drums in the background...bongos?

[Warpcrawler]

Wait, what? Calm down, man.

[southparkvids23]

do you even know what you are singing about in this video. the shankill butchers were in a protestant militant group called the uvf. the shankill butchers used to butcher catholics in n.ireland during the conflict.

[Warpcrawler]

Yup, I'm fully aware mate. :)

Also, I'm grateful that you can keep a civil tone, compared to the twattish irishrogue61. ;)

[dylanroo]

That was awesome, i liked jack the ripper more though

[omgzzzolivia]

I'll be the hundreth person to tell you I adore your accent. It's wonderful. And so is the song, despite the tad quicker pace. But if it were exactly the same, then yours wouldn't be unique, would it? x)

Bravo :)

[plasticseraphim]

Yes I agree, changing it up makes it sort of 'your own' :D Very cool cover!

[EmoLover3014]

way to fast

[mylifeismusic31]

just a tad fast...but MOST EXCELLANT my friend. (:

[Lemossant]

That was excellent!

An absolutely amazing cover, great job.

:3

[Sushiman16]

It's funny enough when someone from Montana sings about Irish sectarian violence but when a sweede sings about it makes it even more interesting (In a good way).

[slowdive922]

schysst det här! (skriver på svenska eftersom jag är hundra på att jag hör svensk brytning:) ropa hej om du vill sjunga på mitt myspaceprojekt, letar vocalist :)

tjarrå

[Artist0of0life]

love the accent!

a bit fast but still I like it!

[SpeakSoftlyStephen]

Swedish Accent?

Truly amazing brother!

[Warpcrawler]

Swedish accent! ^^

Thank you!

[humblehyena132]

You're absolutely amazing. <3

[obiwan2542]

true craftsmanship gave me chills

[christopherlanedavis]

This is so amazing. Absolutely beautiful! One of the best covers I've ever heard. Marry me. :)

[ShadowKatChan]

Oh my goodness. You are gorgeous. Haha! But your voice is really soft, really awesome for this song! Good guitar work too! And I officially love your accent. <3

[Warpcrawler]

You make me so happy!^

[jeffl56]

Sometimes the best renditions are simplest. Nice guitar work.

[DiscoFosho4237]

Very Nice!!!!

Sweet accent!

Where are you from brother?

[Warpcrawler]

Thank you!^^

I'm from Sweden!

[methylparaben]

this is nice! different! ;)

[speechjunkie08]

That was really very good, your voice is soft, it is nice for this song. Are you from Ireland by any chance? I don't think you look funny when you sing, I like your cover, and you are adorable!

[Warpcrawler]

Thanks, I always appreciate comments as long as they are nice or constructive, unlike some of them below! ^^

No, not Ireland at all, Sweden in fact, so I'm not a native speaker. :)

Haha, thank you!

[speechjunkie08]

How many languages do you speak? That is really cool that you covered a song that isn't in your native tongue. Anyway, keep up the good work, I look forward to hearing more that you do, especially if it is the decemberists.

[Warpcrawler]

Well, Swedish and English, pretty much. It's standard practice here to study English, so it isn't a big deal! There's more good music in English anyway. :)

Thanks, I hope to find something soon to upload here!

[Bassflicker]

To fast. But otherwise good!

[Warpcrawler]

Haha, yes, I know I stressed it a bit, but I didn't really realize that until it was posted. :) Thank you for commenting! ^^

[manicbassa]

You fucking asshole. Why the fuck would you want to cover a song about these scumbags!!!

[Warpcrawler]

I'd say it's because you're either a fucking asshole, or a scumbag. Your choice, really.

[XZeldaFreakX]

awesome man

what are the chords btw?

[alal77alal]

You've got a nice voice young fella. And you're not a bad looking guy, looks and music, that used to get the chicks when I was your age!

Anyway though, I'm curious, what was the original motivation behind this song? Black comedy? Parody? Warped glorification of the Shankill Butchers? Extreme fairy tale, to spook kids into obedience? Something else? Any info greatly appreciated.

[HoDLizy]

I don't tihnk it's glorification. It might just be my interpretation, but I think the song makes out real killers to be a fairytale, and that parodies an idea in society that bad things cannot happen to someone like you or good people.

[RageofEZLN]

some friends of mine and me did a cover of this song as well, on youtube, under troop 41. You should watch it and comment. Really love this rendition, and your accent.
