Great Big Sea - Run Runaway (Video)

[wintergsouth]

AHH COME ON TELL ME THIS ISNT A MONEY GRAB / mE OLD GRANNY CAN SING IT BETTER

[wintergsouth]

why even do this song when the original is soo great ? why not write a song of your own instead of parroting someone else's

[bcboy3n2]

Ive been to every show they've had in Vancouver :) i love them



[IliketrainsX365]

Slade's Version is better, but this is okay

[Potts132]

@IliketrainsX365 The original is always better, but this is a very good cover.

[IliketrainsX365]

@Potts132 That's why I said this cover is okay

[Potts132]

@IliketrainsX365 I think it is a bit better then okay, but everyone is entitled to an opinion

[IliketrainsX365]

@Potts132 By okay I meant it's pretty good, just a bit different from Slade's version, which had a better intro.

[Shinju14]

I saw GBS in concert a couple years ago. Best concert I've been to. EVER. GBS ALL THE WAY!

[Gyrofist1]

Notice that it's a St. John's Maple Leafs jersey and not Toronto?

[Darkfalzsob]

@Gyrofist1 would you be making that useless comment if it was updated to a marlies jersey?

[gustovful]

A COVER well what else would you expect from alan doyle ? He couldn't write a good original song to save his life

[netDSgirl]

1:18-1:42....i'm a newfoundlander and I lived away for a few years...i had this song on my ipod and listening to that particular part of this song really put me back home in my mind and was such a big comfort:)

[TheAlekhsandra]

baaah i remember this!

[spacehamster360]

SEA CHAMELION!!!!!!!

[superbanshee666]

@kaysler usually the rule is // if your an original songwriter that is respected then it's an honour to have you play someone else's song. / this is not the case with gbs /// they have no choice but to sing other peoples songs // they can't write any of their own . / VERY DIFFERENT THAN JOHNNY CASH one of the greatest songwriters ever

[Loritravels]

Love to end my day with a GBS video!

[superbanshee666]

singing other peoples songs is very uncool /it's fine if your a bar band / but not cool when you try to pass yourself off as an ORIGINAL band

[Kaysler]

@superbanshee666 I'll let Johnny Cash and Jay-z know they're uncool.

[PchanStitch]

@superbanshee666 Actually, it's VERY cool with they make the song into their own. Slade's version didn't have the folksy edge they give it. Both are good.

[superbanshee666]

I LOVE GOOD MUSIC but these guys suck ass

[TheMrdogoman]

REDWING AND MRMEGALITH are guys that were roadies for the band back in the old days and the boys in the band got sick of telling them they didn't want blow jobs from them so now they are bitter

[EdiKavanagh]

The people disliking this video are probably all tasteless clowns or "Pop" music fans!

Great Big Sea are a class outfit and have stayed together for YEARS! 10/10

And btw...MrMEGALITTHH - u suck! ;)

[MrMEGALITTHH]

who buys this crappy music? / answer = nobody  so everytime these idiots put out another useless album the press says gbs are at no. 2 or 3 . / Y = because the record company buys the albums to keep these DICKWADS going. / why do you think they're down in the east usa all the time / playing festivals that anyone can play. / they are con men that can't play or write 4 fuck

[TheMrdogoman]

@MrMEGALITTHH YOUR A BIEBER FAN AREN'T YA ??? LMAO GET YOUR HAND CREAM OUT IT IS ALMOST BED TIME

[MasterRhinoBerry]

@MrMEGALITTHH explain why we all on the east coast got their albums? we grew up on it. it makes us who we are. you might say were fucked up, and we may be, but we stay true to our music.

[redwingchief]

@martinilord  :)

[redwingchief]

alan doyle would sing / THE HAIL MARY if he thought people were dumb enough to think HE wrote IT

[domolord101]

@redwingchief do u have to go insult every GBS song on youtube? not cool =(

[SalvatoreAlBoin]

80s alert... FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[TheFlarewalker]

FUCK YOU TO THE TROLLS WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO

[redwingchief]

bad version of a good song / alan doyle is an idiot

[TheFlarewalker]

@redwingchief FUCK YOU

the origonal sucked

[matthewosmond1984]

@TheFlarewalker Very True

[Martinilord]

@redwingchief <- Mad

[NikkiOfTheCookies]

Oh lord, that fella' with the long hair... <3

[ValhallaViking249]

Oh man, I love this song, and I love Great Big Sea. This is the best thing in the world to stumble across!

[NoGoodHandlesLeft]

ok, the random questions before the video may be more annoying than the advertisements.

[GottaLoveEddie]

♥..!!

[Phantoro]

Anything Great Big Sea does is awesome.

[matthewosmond1984]

@Phantoro well said

[howie9751]

Great version of the song. It doesn't replace the Slade original but stands well alongside it. Great Big Sea!

[hollyfiander]

can someone please tell me the strum pattern to this?

[XxshadowlugiaXD001xX]

I'm so glad they still play this on the radio sometimes... God bless Newfoundland <3

[howie9751]

Great cover of the song...doesn't replace the original, just earns applause alongside it.

[mrquackadoodlemoo]

FUCK YOU ADVERTISMENT

[GhengisKhantbearsed]

I said fake (as in not real)Irish shite cover of an English band(Slade's)song ripping off the sound of a Scottish band(Big Country)

[150rex]

@GhengisKhantbearsed you ever been to nfl? no? shut the fuck up.

[WiseManTy]

@GhengisKhantbearsed If you really want to be that ignorant every band ripped someone off... Get over your stupid pride and appreciate the music. Their style is who they are.

[GhengisKhantbearsed]

Fucking fake "o'irish"shite,ripping off an English band,who were copying a Scottish band.

Pathetic

[br33zin]

@GhengisKhantbearsed They aren't scottish...they are Eastern Canadian...aka- Nova Scotia (new scotland) get over yourself

[Seisachtheia]

@br33zin Careful, feeding the trolls only makes them hungrier! :)

[THESpencerCollins]

@br33zin I have to laugh. I'm sorry, but these folks..you can call em Eastern Canadian all you want, but they're Newfoundlanders and most definately proud. They aren't Nova Scotians.

[dark133angel]

@THESpencerCollins but isn't newfoundland on canada's east coast?

[THESpencerCollins]

@dark133angel indeed it is. but why not just call them what they are?

[MiBzAn]

omg I miss Great Big Sea! I remember when this came out - I love nuns in drop top punch buggies lol.. only on the East Coast ;)

[GuitarQueero1]

FSI 2K11

[GodImHideous]

the original is soooo much better than this irish bagpipe bullshit

[Smeggysmurf]

I'm a redneck from southern Idaho and I fucking love GBS. They make great music for having a hell of a good time while drinking

[Bladedshrew]

Can't help but love that Maple Leafs jersey! Best team ever! ;D

[botanicalement]

@Bladedshrew That's actually a St. John Maple Leafs jersey, in case you were referring to the Toronto team ;-)

[Bladedshrew]

@botanicalement Really? That's cool, didn't know there was one. c:

[botanicalement]

@Bladedshrew Yep! Though I checked after and found that the Toronto team was a parent company to the St. John's team... so you were right too ;-) You can see the the St. John's bit at around 0:45, partially obscured by the strap.

[fottydot]

pause at 1:58 is an ugly monster lol thumbs up if yo see it to

[mach7mach10]

How can this song only have 6k views, yet people like Justin Bieber have billions of views... I worry about our future as a species.

[PelleB82]

@mach7mach10 cuz the original is so much better :P

[RyanFalls]

@mach7mach10 There are facts to be faced, one is that there will always be commercial music (GaGa, ke$ha, Biebs etc.) Then there is good music (this and many other underrated band), unfortunately, hidden from a lot of screens and many people will never know their awesomeness

[Travoiz]

@mach7mach10 probably cause its just a remake. The original has 3.8 million.. but I agree, Beiber has warped the minds of many people!

[est1982FELON]

@mach7mach10 add about 20000 more :) 6 months later

[PchanStitch]

@mach7mach10 Be thankful you're among the sane ones. So, when man kind does go down the train, we can rightfully say 'don't blame us!'

[Supermusicisloveable]

@mach7mach10

Totally agreed! ...and to think they're both Canadian. The difference is... we have a more refined mature taste for REAL CANADIAN music, compared to the pop and hip hop minds of today's young generation. This is a cover of Slade's (a British band) original version in the early '80's. Well done by GBS!

[Venkman007]

1 person needs to run, run away.

[CDNcoyote]

This music makes me wish I was down home :(

[Lemious]

theres nothing like the music of home is there?

[KittenBlackheart]

this was the first gbs song I ever saw on muchmusicusa years ago. 20something concerts later, I'm completely hooked. planning a trip to nfld next year :)

[dragorider93]

GBS W00T

[redmudpei]

Alan doyle looks like a gunge singer, lol

[MrBeta7x]

Fuck yeah, notice how it has no dislikes? East Coast music is the shit!

[GaeusRufus]

@MrBeta7x Woot For the east coast, and for a kick-ass song!

[Kow8675309]

@MrBeta7x just because you posted that I thumbed down

[17guitar]

@Kow8675309 disrespect

[jheal4]

@MrBeta7x Those 7 dislikes I see are probably just to spite you. They have to be, who would dislike this!?!

[lifeishorsesarelove]

I love that the whole song makes no sense if you listen to it but it does at the same time...

I <3 my newfy roots :D

[CamilleMorinozuka]

I saw them when I was 3 and I still love them!!

[byronkentgraham]

I really liked you guys until i saw the Maple Leafs Jersey now I don't know what to think

[Fuzzyy88b]

@byronkentgraham its apparent you do not have a set of nuts...



[StainedglassWings]

gotta love great big sea! I've seen them live the past 4 summers, it's an awesome tradition and really good exercise cuz you can't help but dance the entire time <3
