  • Could someone please inform me about the first picture seen in the video?

  • @Propagacija Its a photo of an IRA flying column taken from a scene from the film 'Wind that Shakes the barley'

  • @TomBarry192I Ok, thank you. Is there an original one ?

  • @Propagacija There are pictures of flying columns but not the same as the one in the video. If you type into google images 'IRA grafton street' it looks kind of similar.

  • @Propagacija tom barrys gerrrila active service unit i think it is

  • @AnEndToTheDisgust Good man

  • sounds quite a bit like chinese music, never noticed that before now.. the melody and the mandolin thing.

  • Tiocfaidh ár lá

  • ALL HAIL BRITANIA!! ALL HAIL LELOUCH!

  • @Smutnovsor Good man, great anime

  • @JMARLOWE1972 fuck up ya hun none of those brave men deserved what they got that's just sick if u have such a narrow arrogant point of view

  • @TonyMcg97

    And what those bastards did to Michael Collins? Eamon De Valera was the REAL traitor to our cause..........

  • Those Fenian bastards got what they deserved. They were traitors. Their brothers and fathers and uncles and cousins and sons were fighting in the Great War. Not content with their 1916 perfidy, the just HAD to kill Michael Collins some years later.......

  • @JMARLOWE1972 troll

  • @JMARLOWE1972 trollololololol.

  • Scotland to the Scots!

    SRA

  • @ilikepie308 the unionists in the north are not irish patriots as they do not care about the whole of ireland just there own interests. they believe themselves to be superior in the fact that they can with gods will rule the area. it is the nationalist who care for the population at large

    ireland for the irish!

  • Im from denmark, and i like that kind of music, don't listen to him, great song!

  • I like the tempo of this version. Sometimes it's played too slow for my taste. Thank you for the music Ireland!!!

  • @AcinomPP75 i've got a version of this with me playing and singing-its pretty uptempo too-have a listen

  • God rest them brave men

  • every time i hear this song, it makes me feel sorow for the destiny of my own people! long live Éirinn! 

  • the descendants remember!

  • First time I heard this tune, I was 12 (and I'm nearly 47 now !), it was sung by a great celtic artist, the breton Alan Stivell during his mythical Paris Olympia concert in 1972 (see on youtube). It made me discover my celtic roots and I became since an absolute fan of irish history and gaelic culture.

    These rebel songs are just fantastic and make us proud of our ancestries and origins...

    Eirinn go bragh ! Breizh atav !

    A warm salute from your breton celtic soul brothers in Britanny !

  • @NevenHenaff Nice place Brittany, was on holidays there a few times.

  • @dmcc20012 so was i years ago on a nudist camp,i loved the french bread and wine :)

    Eirin go bragh ! Breizh atav !

    A warm salute from your breton celtic soul brothers across the Channel !

  • god i love ireland, im so proud to be born an irish man, with our history, music, celtic mysticism, arts, landscape and the moral of the irish people is the best in the world. tiocfaidh ar la

  • Wonderful old photos...makes me homesick for Dublin!

  • Upa CELTS!

  • i love the startttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @despuis Says the person who can't seem to spell or use grammer marks correctly. Anyway not looking for an agrument so I'm pretty much done on this video.

  • Definitely my favourite version of the song. Such a great band!

    Here in Norway, many people are fond of Irish culture and folk music. I think the reason is that we also for centuries were ruled by an imperialistic neighbour (Denmark), and that we therefore have developed a strong feeling of national pride similar to that of the Irish.

    We became independent in 1905, and I hope that all of Ireland will be one day as well.

  • People always seem to forget the fact that Unionists were Irish patriots as much as any Nationalist men.. They fought, and died for what in there idea was the best future for Ireland and her people.. So perhaps people should cut the "English Invaders" some slack on the North, The Irish people there are in Britian because that is what they saw as the best future for them, not Britain being evil. ( And before you go killing me, I live in the Republic and am also a more of a Nationalist)

  • @ilikepie308 i thought i might have heard some stupid statements,but congratulations your no 1

  • @ilikepie308

    The very use of the word 'unionist' implies that they support union with Great Britain. It is, frankly, impossible to support both independence for Ireland and the union. I'm sure you meant 'protestant' but, regardless of that, what you said makes no sense.

  • I'm french, but my grand grand grand grand father came in french Britanny from Ireland a long time ago ... That's perhaps why I get goosebumps every time I hear this mighty song. Long live Republic of Ireland

  • @rijsel59nffc bretons and irish share similar cultures

  • @3tangle3 Celtic friendship for ever ;)

  • @rijsel59nffc no its cause its cold out.

  • jUST A GREAT GREAT SONG.

  • Best rebel song of them all. without the boys of 1916 there would never be a war of independence. god bless the boys who marched to their death that easter tide. EIRINN GO BRAIGH

  • This reminds me of Chesterton's poem:

    For the great Gaels of Ireland

    Are the men that God made mad,

    For all their wars are merry,

    And all their songs are sad

  • NEVER FORGET UR HISTORY

  • My great grandfather is in one of your photos. He was part of the Citizen Army pictured outside Liberty Hall. thanks for posting this song, I love it.

  • Proud to be related to Plunkett.

  • Ireland will be United once more Erin Gu Brath!

  • Comment removed

  • the fight continues

  • the same old same old. get a life , do ya never get sick of this shite. one big yawn

  • @paulwils0n How could you comment if you didn't select this song in the first place ! ya its old but now and then we like to RAise the fukn roof with it OK???

  • Comment removed

  • @paulwils0n if we forget history we are doomed to repeat it.

  • @paulwils0n we have every thing to gain and nothing to lose . On the other hand you have everything to lose and nothing to gain ha ha ha

  • This is one of my favorite songs of all time and I listen to old rap music - lol. Eternal!

  • Every who yearns to be free must pay his own fee. Freedom is not a gift .It is a reward for those willing to pay the price. It is not inhereted nor is it the easy life of plenty. Nor is it the fancy of many. But it is the reward for those who face their foes and fears with courage and resolve. When the bullets start flying the free men will stand together. Others who fancy they are free will run away and leave their freedom and warriors behind A warrior knows

  • MISSED A VERSE- Oh the night fell black, and the rifles' crack made perfidious Albion reel

    In the leaden rain, seven tongues of flame did shine o'er the lines of steel

    By each shining blade a prayer was said, that to Ireland her sons be true

    But when morning broke, still the war flag shook out its folds in the foggy dew

  • Beat English dogs! Greatings from Russia

  • @Storn1920 Ill drink to that brother..

  • Beat English dogs!

  • great video

    

  • I am not Irish, but this and the American revolution are two of the most inspiring events to ever happen in history. I know why many of the Irish are so proud!

  • @Big5000K there are more inspiring things than american revolution you just havent heard them.....I am serious because america was and still is a european ancestral colony and lets not forget many prisoners of war were brutally slain from both sides after they surrendered...the far more heroic ones are when the welsh marched for refoms on newport and were shot to ribbons for peaceful protest....peaceful protest is far more inspiring if not as successful, also gandhi though india bit of mess ;P

  • @3tangle3 I was complementing it and the American Revolution is very inspiring, it is like the mouse beating the cat.

  • @Big5000K I am not enamoured with the british state they beat my great gran for speaking welsh.....but american revolution needed french and spanish help to be fair....heddwch peace......the english deserved to be beaten cos king was an arrogant sob ;)....just wish us europeans had integrated less violently with the natives and retained best bits of each others cultures

  • @3tangle3 Yes but Spain and France did not just join up with the Americans, it took years of war for them to join.

  • @Big5000K fair enough many welsh socts and irish fought against imperialism

  • @Big5000K were proud people but up north the english invaders are still there

  • @Big5000K Yes you're right mate, but don't forget the french Revolution of 1789, that inspired all the europeans revolutions (Ireland, Belgium, Italy, Russia etc ...) Moreover the flags of the first three are a tribute to the French banner ;)

  • @rijsel59nffc

    There were other revolutions before (american, british etc ...) so dont think it only was the french one which inspired the europeans revolutions

  • can anyone tell me who the people are at 3,00 after Pearse and Connolly?

  • @timmy270183 Jospeh Plunkett, Thomas MacDonagh, Sean Mac Diarmada and Thomas Clarke.

  • @TomBarry192I you forgot Eamon Keant!

  • @TomBarry192I R.I.P. Joseph Mary Plunkett from Austin Plunkett

  • @timmy270183 They were 2 of the leaders of the Fight for Freedom during the Easter uprising in 1916. They ended up becoming martyrs. One need to be put in a chair because he was seriously wounded he could not stand.

  • @timmy270183 They were 2 of the leaders of the Fight for Freedom during the Easter uprising in 1916. They ended up becoming martyrs. One need to be put in a chair because he was seriously wounded he could not stand in front of the firing squad .

  • I great song and good video too. Please excuse my ignorance but can anyone tell me who the people are at 3.00 after Pearse and Connolly? Thanks

  • @001Dixie it'sdifferent actually if you knew something the vikings gave the irish respect but just weest amount of it

    while they hated the british

  • @001Dixie Well imagine your country was sliced in two and part of it occupied by Germany for eg, im sure people in England would be singing patriotic songs with anti German sentiment. Doesn't mean were against people in Britain, its to do with the British government and armed forces. A lot of our patriots were actually born in England and came over to fight we're proud of them.

  • @001Dixie The Wolfe Tones sang a version of John Lennons Sunday Bloody Sunday, which includes the line 'Ireland for the Irish not for London or for Rome'. Christy Moore who sings rebel songs, sang a song about the Magdalene Laundries.

  • @001Dixie They are not being hypocritical, they support Irish freedom their ancestry has got nothing to do with anything.

  • @001Dixie Your point being??

  • BRITS OUT!!

  • This song deserves praise and recognition not the puerile comments underneath here and the stupid arguments as well, which are pathetic.

    RIP TO IRELANDS GLORIOUS DEAD OF 1916!!!XXXXX

  • i hate how every damn video on the internet has to buffer

    they need to find a way to upload videos without the need of loading and buffering :/

  • fuck the tans up the RA

  • God bless the bhoys of the Easter uprising.

  • where can i download this

  • Patriotism does not cause war insulting that patriotism does.

  • 18 people are British.

  • @BreakerofHorses not british, but unionists

  • @TomBarry192I the battle of the boyne happened

  • @cpsspeeddemon13 I know that but why is it celebrated is what I really was asking.

  • NOBODY is perfect....but being irish is close enough  :) :)

  • die iren haben für freiheit gekämpft - zumndest südirland hat sie! sinn fein!!!!! WIR SELBST

  • In my house in mexico i have proudly my little Irish Flag

  • remember 16 something or other 

  • Beautiful song and one of the best videos iv seen for it thanks alot . And liontube69 be dont such a retard. The 1916 rising led to the Irish war of independence, where 10,000 men with barely enough guns and ammo defeated the entire british empire unassisted by any other country. And while the brave Irish men where killing british soldiers the britsh soldiers were slaughtering and raping unarmed women and children like even animals arent that savage. We defeated the british empire in its prime.

  • @darshface Well said my friend how they call a man that stood up to a superior force with more guns ammo than himself a coward REMEMBER 16

  • well done with the vid if I had've been born i would have definately stand by and fight with collins and the brave few

  • Which album is this version taken from?

  • @YorksTradMusic I think its the 25th anniversary double cd

  • And one more thing... Have you ever heard of a people called "Muslims"? I mean seriously Muslims are just people who pray to Alah. it has nothing to do with their nationality, and the fact is that the Muslims in Bosnia are actually Serbs, and rarely Croats who have turned to Islam during the Turkish rule. They don't exist as a nation, but they just don't want to admit it. Both we and they were killing members of our fellow people, and that's what's sad.

    Greetings from Serbia, my Irish friends!

  • Great song about freedom, I really like it. In order for one to understand Yugoslavian civil war of the 90s he must know the history of the Balkans, but those who don't even know a thing about the war itself should remain silent. In fact it were the Croats and Muslims who started the war in Bosnia and Croatia, and even if they didn't all of what happened was fueled by the crimes second WW, and even before. Just search for Ustasas and Handzar divisions on google.

  • @TomBarry192I wouldnt have expected any better from the likes of him my friend...Beidh síocháin ar n-ár oileán...lá amháin...there will be peace on our island...one day...sláinte

  • @TomBarry192I a load of foreigners acting like savages?

  • @liontube69 remember 1916 for the brave men who stood up to fight for freedom...1690? when a load of foreigners pillaged and invaded..taking what was not theres? robbing from the irish

  • @liontube69 was your mam born in 1690?

  • @liontube69 Why listen to the song if u feel that way you dumb prick.Go beat your faggot drum.

  • @liontube69 eat shit and die you ignorant pig!

  • The Wolfe Tones. Hypocritical performers, shit musicians. Dim fuckwits who exploited marginally intelligent audiences with vacuous, empty renditions of genuinely meaningful songs.

  • @Gregorian112 I am sorry. i was thinking of insults, and this slipped into my head. i did not mean to offend you or anyone else, i was just pissed that there were dislikes to the video. Sorry Again :)

  • @KhanTheMighty91 go f*ck yourself. All the Serbs are killer. You always like kill people. Every nation know this. Do not use IRISH word for your bloody mouth.

  • @hakandeliduman1 Turk, you have no right to criticize any nation when everyone knows that your country has incorporated Islamic seeds of evil in the Balkans. For five centuries you have raped, robbed and killed throughout the Balkans, Serbs, Greeks, Bulgarians, Albanians, Romanians. Not to mention the Armenian genocide and the massacres of Kurds in Asia. Your mouth is bloody, not ours. You are invaders, such as the English were in Ireland. Celts and Slavs brothers forever! Erin go bragh!

  • @hakandeliduman1 In every war, from all sides, you will find "some" minds who have found their purpose and pleasure in the act of killing, pillaging and tormenting. You can't claim that a whole nation has the characteristics of those "some". But lets accept your way of thinking just for a moment. In that case, the Turks "always like kill people" and "All Turks are killers" too, even more than Serbs. As a matter of fact, Turks have been killing Serbs for 6 centuries.

  • @hakandeliduman1 You have been killing every nation from eastern Turkey (Kurds) to Vienna (Austrians). You're not competent to say anything in this matter.

  • 15 people are uneducated redneck bastards who have nothing better to do than dislike good music

  • @declanCFC1888 right you are my friend, and to everybody else outthere... never forget thier sacrafice. These MEN made a standfor what they beleived in and four years later they got their "red blaze of freedom" ERIN GO BRAGH!!

  • simply epic

  • pearse and connolly and the boys knew they could never match the brits on a battlefield but they fought anyway! without the easter rebellion we wouldnt have a republic. it is probably the greatest example of as pearse put it a 'blood sacrifice'. this song brings a tear to the eye but a smile to the face. eirinn go braigh

  • @Legionairius807 i couldnt put it better myself

  • Blessings from Peru

  • Yous cunts want to stop bitching and listen to the fucking song ya shower of arsewipers....................­......INLA.

  • Scotslover wants to be Irish(who doesn't).His mother told him that his father could be one of 8 men.she was a busy woman the night he was concieved.7 of them were Huns and 1 Irishman.Keep us posted on the DNA results...

  • I u Srbiji postoje gradovi kao što su npr. Sjenica i Novi Pazar gde je 95% stanovništva muslimansko. Njima ne pucamo u glavu, iako su to "naši" gradovi, znači na teritoriji Republike Srbije. Nije zbog kvantiteta "nesrba" počeo rat.

  • I always feel so patriotic when i listen to this song.I Love my Ireland so much!

  • @Misspotatoehead1

    Aye, thanks for pointing out wikileaks! -- Ireland granted immunity to sex abuse church officials under pressure from Vatican -- The US was concerned as long as ago as October 2008 that Ireland did not have a grip on its crippled banks, according to a confidential cable from its Dublin embassy released by WikiLeaks

    -- the entire shameful truth is coming out about Shannon airport, CIA renditions, and the lengths the Irish government went to avoid the evidence

  • @Scotslover86 STILL PRETENDING TO BE SCOTTISH ???? STILL TELLING EVERYONE YOUR A WAR HERO ??? HAA HAAAH JUST A BULLSHITTING TROLL THATS ALL :-)

  • @Che870

    LOL, come on Austin, are ye still pretending to be Captain Che the thick superhero personna of Captain Irishleo? How are Michael James, Peggy and Mary doing? How about that bastard half brother of yours. Come on ya said ya were a hustler, fighter and lover (although I believe it was of the priest fucking variety). Come on Che how does the priest's beard feel on ya arse?

  • @Scotslover86 = JUST A BULLSHITTING TROLL :-) HAS HE TOLD EVERYONE HIS WAR STORIES YET ? HES A WAR HERO YOU KNOW !!! HAAHAAHA HAAHA HAAHA HAHAAA

  • @Che870 =A priest fucker. Although he is trying to block it out, he can't stop himself from sucking off priests.

  • @Scotslover86 you have perverted fantasies. you shouldnt post them on the internet

  • @Misspotatoehead1

    I love it too and Ive never even been!

    though i plan to change that soon...

  • @corporateCoffee Oooh.you should def come.but prepare yourself for really bad weather.its why we spend most of our time in the pub...:))

  • @Misspotatoehead1

    so ive been told. Man, I live in Florida, sunlight is overrated xD. i could get used to hangin around the pub haha

  • @Misspotatoehead1 the o rahilly was the best one, he ran into the gpo with 3 guns under his arms on wedensday and shot down many brits

  • Grow up eveyone...ireland like britain kept its people in poverty for years,its goverments that need sorting out not people.screw all goverments.

  • @Harkenish I agree, the british state is only around to make loads and loads of money...it doesnt give a shit about cumbrians or the cornish to name but a few 'peripheral areas'

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs i think Ireland has ever produced.My absolute favourite....:))

  • fighting a revolution is easy. the hard part begins if you win!

  • Respond to this video...

    Now, this is the reaosn why I DO NOT support the anexation of Bosnia by Serbia, as the two have been SEPARATE countries throughout the Middle Ages, the same reason why I DO support Kosovo in Serbia as Kosovo has NEVER BEEN a country, and the only reason it has so many ALbanians is because ottomans ethnically cleansed Serbs from this area, and colonized it with loyal muslims- Albanians(does that remind you of something *hint PLANTATION)

    HISTORICAL RIGHT!!

  • @Oisin095

    meaning that you should believe that Serbs were wholly innocent, and Bosniaks (NOT Bosnians, Bosnians include THREE separate ethnic groups INCLUDING Serbs,as Serbs are as autochthonous in Bosnia as Bosniaks), NO I am not asking that, but do a little research, and try to shed this hollywood version of Yugoslav wars with one ethnic group of pure evil baddies and another of totally innocent victims(Bosniaks).

    And finally, you are not qualified to grant anyone the right to compare their
