The Ballad Of Ronnie Drew

[lovenrockets]

So sorry- don't mean to be disrespectful but couldn't Shane not drink for one day, just one day....leads to the next for Ronnie Drew if now for himself.

[lovenrockets]

It's all great - except for Shane. I love this guy but he sings horrible and looks like a bloated clown. It hurts me to see all his enablers to allow the guy to just die while walking. Much respect to the only man - Ronnie Drew to have to deal misfits of talent.

[inexorableexistence]

Larry's always great on the drums! ♥♥♥

[loveismagik]

Cool!

[vadertheviking]

whose the drunk guy singing? Man does he have some big ears!

[Moonrover333]

thats the singer of the pogues

[shakarel]

his name is shane mcgowan (sp?)

[oreilc45]

Look here now shit the ebd or whatever your name is, one questions is why you have come on to this thread to give out about ronnie drew, possibly the greatest performer of all time. Then to go about abusing people you dont even know, because of where there from!! Then to claim you know something about Irish history, actually calim to know anything at all. Basically your the thickest fucker ever been allowed on this website and should kept away from a compute for the rest of your life, oh and die

[bigsineadfan1]

ohhhhh sinead is so cute

[SpringsteenFinland]

Bono sing this song very well!!! Absolutely best on this vid with Shane!

[guitarjed]

Learn how to spell before you come on here with your childish comments,have you ever been to Ireland?i see your from the U.S.A so maybe you haven't been over there, i have quite a few times & i found the irish people hospitable, friendly & polite which is much more than you'll ever be,stop trying to act big behind your computer screen, go & see some of the world before you make pathetic comments about countries you'll never see,(coont)ha ha there is a correct spelling of that & boy it fits you!

[theinsatiablenine]

I have been to Ireland. My problem is with the Brits. Here are a list of the atrocities carried out by you coonts:

14 Civilians shot dead in Derry, 1972.

Karen Reilly shot dead by Lee Clegg in Belfast. Clegg is now serving in Afghanistan. He's a coont

Peter Mc Bride (unarmed 18 yo) shot dead by 2Scots Guards in 1992

John Dougal (unarmed 16yo) shot dead by BA Parachute Regiment

Aidan McAnespie killed by soldiers on his way to a GAA club.

You Dirty pack of British coonts.

[guitarjed]

So your problem is with all the(Brits)so do you mean English,Welsh Or scottish?i'm not British i'm English,i never harmed any irish person i never would i don't have any argument with Ireland at all,i like irish people,i wish ireland was free, you blame every English person for things that governments did over the years,your no better than a racist,then when your tiny brain can't think of anything else you use abusive language which you can't even spell correctly,final time i reply to you

LOSER

[theinsatiablenine]

Yes my problem is with all you brits. I made my case below. Your fookin people oppressed Ireland. I FOOOKIN hate brits. Fookin scumbags.

Your people should be wiped off the face of the earth.

You are the sons of skanky ho's.

Over and out from the homeland.

[Diablo1040]

why are you all argueing

this song is dedicated to an amazing man

who was extremely close to my heart

rest in peace ronnie

Go mbeannaí Dia duit

[hersey77]

GO SHANE!

[guitarjed]

Speaking as an Englishman.....Ronnie drew is a Legend, TOTAL RESPECT to him & all irish people,Before all these idiots start slagging irish people off have you ever been to Ireland?

Go & meet the people first, nice people nice place...peace & freedom for Ireland!!

[theinsatiablenine]

You are all a bunch of tossers. "Ronnie was great, Ronnie made a difference, Freedom for Ireland."

What fookin difference did he make? Apart from being a poor role model.

Freedom to Ireland? Dont make me laugh. It was you brit fooks who took their freedom. You fookin huns.

[ywoffw]

Let me guess. Your father was a alcohlic and kicked your ass? Poor guy

[theinsatiablenine]

Your fookin ma

[billytelecaster]

hey spunk bubble,the best part of you ran down yer tralier park slag ma's leg.how doe;s it feel being a reject?he he hee,ha ha haa.look forward to a reply wanker

[theinsatiablenine]

FAO Irish Alcohics

Ronnie Drew actually consumed 14 pints of Guiness in a bar in Dublin in 1974. Surely this is not the behavior of a role model.

Piss on his grave.

FAO Billytelecaster - sorry for the delay in replying - I was having sex with your mother. You are only a prick with ears.

[bierboy007]

you are going to die.....i am watching you....

[theinsatiablenine]

[theinsatiablenine]

European tosser.

Diablo you are a gay lord "incredibly close to my heart" fook off you c0ck

[guitarjed]

theinsatiablenine.... I'm on your side & i respect irish people or are you too fucking stupid to realise that? It was the british government that who took your freedom not me, i would give you freedom tomorrow but you personally are too fucking bigoted & thick to realise it!! Leave the past behind & grow up!!!

[theinsatiablenine]

You're a dirty hun Brit.

We handed you your asses too. I fookin hate the British - every one of you. Absolute fookin coonts.

[guitarjed]

Learn to spell you moron, you don't represent anybody except blinkered racist idiot's,& i'm English not British.

I'm on here showing Respect to Ronnie Drew, so once again GROW UP & SHUT UP!!!!

[theinsatiablenine]

English/British: Whatever. Its all the same, they are both oppressors. Worst impact on humanity was the British empire (next to Nazi Germany).

Ever hear of the IRA. I loved reading about the time they blew up London.

You ignorant British coont. Your mother is rape victim.

[volvo150e]

[coolhandloop]

no disrespect to the great Ronnie Drew but that is the shittest most one dimensional "songs" i have ever heard. "heres to you ,ronnie drew ,we love you,yes we do"..sweet jesus ... did an infant write these lyrics? or maybe bono wrote it in the taxi on the way to the late late show

[titch69p]

Soinicfungus what a CUNT you are

[cleckioli]

this is great, i love U2and they all are great on this,the dubliners were brilliant a fitting tribute fantastic

[JenniJolene]

I am American Irish and I don't think I have ever met or seen anyone who epitimizes Irish than Bono. But maybe it's hard for some to see because he is more interested in using his gift from God to bring attention to others who need it rather than to himself. He uses his notority and talents to garner attention for those who need it and then he steps out of the spot light to keep the attention from getting taken away from those who need it most: the sick, dying, starving, abused and mis-treated.

[crinnigan07]

Bono is a wanker.. but Ronnie is a hero RIP Ronnie

[loveismagik]

Sinéad is a fine example of what an Irish woman should be. Don't know much about Bono but he's ok in my book too.

Peace and Love to us all.

Good for you redmickconnors!!! Too right we so often slag our own! Bono showed great pride and genuine passion for this wonderful salute to one of our heroes! He was instrumental in the drive behind the whole thing and this showed on the night! Damo Dempsey was just terrific on his part, he was the perfect selection because of his equal passion and honesty which he conveys in his voice - just like Ronnie Drew!! :)

[redmickconnors]

here we go again bashing our own what the fuck has bono done wrong , he gives up his time as does his band mates and all the,. other irish singers , and its all for a good cause , and what the fuck do we do . we fucking slate him , what a shower of gobshites ye are , it is typical of us irish , always knock our own , we will never learn , fair play to one and all for given their time to such a great irish man , best of luck ronnie with the fight

[SonicFungus]

fucking asshole bono doesnt even remember what it is to be irish and hold true value anymore. wtf is with all of his dramatic posing and antics? its like hes shitting all over something special.

but anyways.. full respect to everyone else,but bono.. get a fuckin grip, man and get over yourself. you self righteous shithead.

[soodhawowow]

SonicFungus ur just lik a fucking fungus talkin shit lik dat ur shittin al over somethin special by sayin dat u dick.....ur probably some smart arse fucker who sits on his arse nd does nothin bt den has d thick neck 2 giv out abou some1 lik bono. shithead

[JenniJolene]

Shame on you.

[denas123]

What the fuck have you done with your life? Except criticize those who try to make a difference?

[Sineado28]

Have to agree with ya there Matthew!

[matthewlennon]

Nice one,,, Damo kicks ass,,best bit of the song
