hahaha, I love some of the comments here like "he's a hack" blah blah fucking blah. Well I was in Brisbane a few weeks ago and saw a solo piper playing on the Southbank. Technically probably a very accomplished player but to watch for more than 2 or 3 minutes... as boring as batshit! There's some real sour grapes out there in Pipeland.
absolute awsome talent.im a shriner and i play the bagpipes you put an awsome twist on those pipes mate.long live scotland and a honorable welcome from the united states of america keep up the good work
It has nothing to do with mixing it into the way he plays... He's a hack. The only two reasons he's as popular as he is because of his charisma and the fact the average person is ignorant as hell. It sucks when people who do it wrong get idolized, yet people who do it right never get the same popularity.
Hi, that is what music is all about though isn't it. The Bay City Rollers were crap in my opinion however they are still widely loved to this day by their fans. Music is about personal preference not about what it should sound like unless we are Bach or the like then it may be different and even then people bastardise classical music all the time now. One man's meat is another man's poison.
oh, I apologize, I DID misread your comment. Please forgive me... I read that you said: "is that something...." instead of "Isn't that...". Again, my apologies.
how is he bad? Because hes not playing traditionally? Have you ever heard the bands Dropkick Murphy's or the Real McKenzies? They play the bagpipes in the same style and I think it sounds awesome.
I don't quite know what was more entertaining. Watching Cam McAzie work a pair of bagpipes like I never imagined they could be played, or reading the comments of some "traditional" pipers hating on this guy.. Not once while watching him, did I ask myself: when that man in a skirt with a bag of weasels under his arm, will quit torturing the weasels and making them squeal so terribly. (For all of you traditional pipers who just don't "get it", that last part was a joke)
Listen to you pompous piper-twats. This guy obviously knows how shit the bagpipes sound and decided to rock the fuck out of them. Come on pipers, don't kid yourselves. That repetative drone is enough to drive an autistic person crazy. No one gives a fuck if he's "squawking terribly". They're bagpipes... That's what they do. The difference between this guy and your average piper-douche is that people actually want to listen to this bloke, hence the audience (for you pipers unfamiliar with those).
this guy is a pimple on the arse of the piping world!!!
anyone can hold a set of pipes and spew out this garbage but like any musical instrument true talent is playing competently which evidently this guy is not.
@bikeboy613 If it brings to the public mind that bagpipes can be used to make music instead of just noise then it's fine with me. Lookit this way: If a single person out of that crowd finds a liking to the sound of pipes because of this and turns his interest towards more traditional pieces, isn't that something we, as pipers, should be thankful for, albeit the execution of his play?
@LordHonkInc Excuse me? That's bloody pretentious of you to say, dude. Since it's not YOUR style, it is therefor bad? This fella, who I dearly enjoy, and yes, i know ALL the classic, standard pieces, does one mighty thing there. The bagpipe lends to more than just "traditional tunes". I'd love to see the pipes in say Black Metal, for one. As far as I am concerned, and I haven't got a clue who you are, this man plays you the ground in!!! Pay respects...
@Xogroroth666 I did nothing but praise the man for deviating from what is deemed "appropriate for bagpipes". Can't see how you read that as me disrespecting him.
@Lord First of all, 'albeit' is synonymous to 'although', not 'despite' or 'regardless of'. Secondly, don't be a smug git. You like traditional bagpipe music over this, I am very happy for you. But let's not pretend that 'tradition' equates to quality, and that a person who considers this a well-executed & written piece of music is clearly naive, and if they're smart, will learn of the superiority of more traditional pieces. Beauty's in the eye of the beholder. Learn some humility.
@bikeboy613 Get off your high horse ya great big dick. This guy is awesome. People love him and hes good at what he does and theres nothing wrong with what he does.
granted and i take your point, but its two different worlds, sadly traditional pipers will alway put down anything thats different . my late father (Tom Fletcher) was a traditional piper who could make the bloody thing talk to you, but, he always had a go at anything out side the "norm", bad piper is not trying to go down the road of trad, but is trying to show how versatile the pipes can be in the right hands,
@kenthorseman That's not my point...I use this tune as a show piece as well. I'm not slamming this idiot because it's different...I'm slamming him because it's so poorly played.
There's nothing to be jealous of! He can't tune a chanter and it's squawking, he's playing the tune completely wrong with crossing notes every where. He's the laughing stock of every piper who actually has proper skill.
@bigsteve1984 get a life buddy boy, my father played for fourty years and even he reckons this guy breathes fresh air into the piping world, if you cant play like it then dont moan about others who can
@kenthorseman I could put him to shame any day. It's pathetic that people can be so successful these days with a lack of talent and humility. If he had any idea how bad he is in relation to the real piping world, he'd have quit years ago.
@bigsteve1984 alright mr piedpiper. if you can record an original song that you wrote thats better than this, i will personally fund your musical career.
@bigsteve1984 i dont recall saying that THIS was an original, genius. my offer still stands. now either take it, or the whole internet will know youre full of shit.
@bigsteve1984 Ever think he is playing it wrong because thats how he is able to mix it in with his music? Even more, think he might be playin with out a tune drones because it is the only way the music will come out to have a good beat with it? Just because he isn't tradtional doesn't mean he sucks. WE are the knew generation of pipers that are commin around. Have someone tell me when you die, Ill play a punk rock amazing grace at your funeral. Cheers mate.
hes an awesome dude. people said jimmy hendrix sucked too, but those were people locked in the box of what limitations and sound the instrument they played should be like. hes showing another side of pipes. heavy props to cam.
so because he dresses punk and doesnt do tradional bagpiping hes an embarrassment hmm i dunt think so he just took the bagpipes to a new level, and trust me real pipers are open to shit like this i know i spent the whole fist half of my life in England and Ireland they are really open bout shit like this, i think hes fucken amazing
@jjboy309 He's not even playing the tune right, he's playing a chanter reed so easy that my 16 month old niece would over blow, and his drones are no where even close to being tuned. I could out pipe him in my sleep.
@copterpilot2k4 If you REALLY think this guy is the one that "started the trend" of piping with REAL attitude, you really don't know much about the Celtic people.
I can appreciate what he's doing, and it's too cool of a look and a gimmick....but jeez he ruined the hell outta "The Blue Cloud" (hoping that he can play it better outside of his "performances")
This is one of the better vids of him and sound quality I have seen... Oh I miss Fremantle... Why did I come back to this place? Hmm... I saw an awesome Irish folk band last night of 9 gentlemen that was a lot of fun, so I can't complain too much... But still I miss watching the guy and his lovely wife...
