Piping on Remembrance Sunday 12-11-05

[wolfmk9]

Two things here - firstly, you would get way more hits if you renamed your vid with the song title, event, day. Secondly, any Scot who has to resort to vile and foul language here has forgotten the golden scottish rule "A Man's a Man..."

[3tangle3]

You shouldn't fight for a piece of cloth..........thats insane....you fight for principles and values as most soldiers do

[sfinga80]

Don't shit mikeweavers scots are great nation!

[Garganort]

God bless all those who fought and lost their lives in conflicts all over the world. Your duty to your country is appreciated beyond any words. May god bless you all, and rest in peace. For eternity, we shall remember them. May some day, peace be on earth, for all to see and admire. I hope with extreme enthusiasm that I shall see peace globally on earth in my lifetime. Amen.

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

Some very emotional feelings come when you stand at Spean Bridge commando memorial.The hairs stand on the back of your neck

[MacNeillofTiree]

Top hand is badly out of tune.Pipes can be very tempermental,especially outside in the cold.

[Factnotfictionpeople]

Good on you! It takes nerve to do something so important and to do it so well!

[Ayantae]

Beautifully played. If only the page hadn't been mysteriously turned into a ranting ground for warring historians, who seem incapable of doing anything except accusing each other of wanking, and what seems to be one, lone Nazi who's posted his views out of nowhere in total contrast to any previous discussion. At any rate, you're a brilliant piper.

"Let's face facts. Every worthwhile technical and cultural achievement in history can be attributed to the ingenuity and industriousness of the White race. Whatever redeeming social qualities and modern contrivances nonwhites possess anywhere on God's green earth were either given to them, or copied by them. The nonwhite world both hates and envies the White race due to our inherent superiority. So, yes, in these respects anyway, The evidence so far suggests that the White race is supreme."

[xoowax]

AMEN! We need to keep these traditions alive, and we need to keep our celtic countries clean of other races. Did you know that by 2010 english people will be a minority in there own Land?!? the french already are in there nation! Ireland 2030, germany 2015, Scotland 2030! Defend your homeland! your blood! and your Pride! STOP the Race Mixing, Repel the invaders!

[3tangle3]

I am confused? I am all for indigenous cultures continuing (if the people want this).

BUT a) the 'english' you speak of are mainly a mixed race/ethnicity of germanic/ celtic/ pre celtic/ scandivian/norman peoples on the whole. I too would not like to see all the old cultural differences that make this island brilliant to disappear e.g. cornish, geordie etc but there has already been race mixing. In abergele in N wales where majority genes are pre/or celtic thereisa high incidence of black genes

[3tangle3]

from when n african troops in the roman army stayed over in a fort. WOuld you have these carriers thrown out? Limited immigration and intergration is key where new comers keep their traditions in their own home but intergrate outside of that in the local community e.g. look at some english in spain who do not care about spanish cultures?? That is not a good immigrant in my humble opinion.

[3tangle3]

due to troop from N africa in the roman army staying there. Would you have these intergrated people thrown out even though they are mixed blood.

what i am also confused about is the fact France has its own state. Correct but its repressive republicanism has been as bad as the monarchy in suppressing yes...they have 20 languages in France but only Mr superior french is taught. France, Britain, USA, lots more .are states who do not care for cultural borders. Its not the immigrants

[3tangle3]

that are threatening the celts as such but government policy especially in the past. Look up the 'treachery of the blue books'

[worksop]

Very good. Thanks for posting.

[gordyl]

Great video - and good piping. Less impressed with pseudo-intellectual Antaghan's foolish comments. A man who has clearly never served in a Scottish regiment, nor spent any time around Scottish soldiers. Or real Scots.

[TheHighlandPiper]

I love this Tune!

Very nice Video!

[koloperuna]

How do they call this Tune?

[TheHighlandPiper]

The Flowers of the Forest

[koloperuna]

lot of thanks! )))

had you been playing this tune in video youself?

[fatezre]

waer is this

[ghostpiper1]

The commando monument at Spean Bridge, just north of Fort William, Scotland.

[dgriebe]

To all those who may laugh and scorn let it be said that in the case of emergency though art the first to be heard crying for mama.

You the Weak "we defend"

You the Timid "we protect"

You the Bastards that take us down "We DO NOT DETEST"

Call me again and I will relieve you from your plight, in that I "miss my shot" and *uck U. Complain now. End Of Story.

[BROCOCK]

what a nice person..inselaffe67 is...!!!

[354ryan]

Whats that tune actually called, love it when they play it on remembrance parade, makes most feel proud :)

[desolatesoul87]

The song's the flowers of the forest. It's a funeral song. Mostly played at military funerals.

[354ryan]

Yeah i knew bout the funeral stuff but didnt know what it was called, cheers

[swlondonlad20]

These guys are royal marines, so they'll be English, Scottish and Welsh.

[Johntheasshat]

Well said.

[caleyali]

he wasn't insulting them, he was insulting the chinless oafs who sent them abroad.

[malchikinus]

Yes, I'm sure Scotsmen would've been much happier living under Kaiser Bill or Adolf.

[ccmpro1234]

three cheers for the king hip hip...huzza hip hip... hazza hip hip...hazza Long live kning geroge the 3rd.

Pvt. Lafond 24th reg.

[Sean787448]

I dont bother with second part, it sounds as if it was written for another tune, I go straight to third part. Nice pace, too many rush it

[inselaffe67]

Stop wanking and watching Braveheart you tit! The "Imperialism" you refer to was a joint venture between England AND Scotland (Act of Union) both of whom benefited greatly.

If you must post shite on here at least bother to actually read some history mate beause Mel Gibson's little story wasn't factual...sorry to wee on yer fried Mars bar mate.

[inselaffe67]

Ps. I see you come from New Caledonia, would that be the New Caledonia in the SouthWest Pacific per chance? It kinda makes sense that you know shit living on the other side of the world from scotland matey....plastic jock who thinks he's Scottish because great, great, great grandaddy had a scotty-dog....poooooolease, get a life you muppet and don't drag the good name of REAL Scottish folk down.

[jaimackenzie]

@Antaghan Nemo me impune lassit

<<<< First of foot.

hepburns regiment

now known as the royal Scots Borderers and these were MY country men

not some cunt from the other side of the planet.

here on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we will remember them

[dorbie]

You may speak Gaelic and have read some books, but who are you to speak for the countless dead? They enlisted for their reasons and this is about them not your petty political retrospective. History is not so easily recruited, Flodden ended a diversionary campaign to aid France and the fallen men of Selkirk wouldn't have spoken Gaelic, would you foolishly imply you were more Scottish than them? Would you say they died for the French?

[erracht]

It's a long tune, sometimes it is shortened.

[ghostpiper1]

Drones needed tuning.

[madinchtslave101]

your pretty good man. always loved the bagpipes!!!!

[rcdOfficer]

yo did the first two parts and the repeats but wat about the second half of the song? lol

[lucious4me]

i love this song on the bag pipes it almost makes me cry!:')
