@584megadeth Wrong. Buy the album, rip it to your PC, and read the writers. Since when is "Traditional" from the fifties? Even look up the song. It's a traditional irish folk song. Much older than that. It's a big part in irish heritage, now.
Anyone who thinks that Whiskey in the Jar was an original by Thin Lizzy is thick-headed and has never either owned this album and/or ripped the CD to their computer and reviewed the writers of the song "Traditional".
allright they covered the thin lizzy version. and the typical guitarriff is from that version. but thin lizzy redid an old Iriish Folksong, go look it up. whiskey in the jar by The Dubliners
the music is thin lizzys listen to the original it doesn't have this music this is thin lizzys version but heavier james is a fan of Thin Lizzy and rightly so because they are a most excellent band
Well, actually, the VERY ORIGINAL song is a traditional Irish folk song, propably a lot older than just 60 years. It wasn't "made" by the Dubliners nor any other band, they just made their own version.
92% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Pop.If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos.DONT LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK DIE
there has been so many covers of this song. Its been on the go sense the 1950's...I know there is an Irish folk band called the dubliners who played this song in the 1960's. it is an Irish song. hence "Cork and Kerry Mountains"
THIS WAS MY FIRST SONG, AND STILL JUST KICKS ASS! \m/

Lol, in the actual song, it says "Wake for my daddy oh" but James said "Whack" due to Phil's thick accent.

Don't care what people say, you just can't beat Thin Lizzy's version. Although this is good for different reasons.
