Too much Bono or not - this song still brings a tear to my eye when I think of the man who, together with Luke Kelly and the boys brought Irish folk to worldwide fame.
i miss ronnie so much. it doesn´t matters who´s writting or promoting this song! ronnie was missing his wife and he was going to death while bono was whriting this song as a tribute for a great man!
@kerstmanneke82 this was made for ronnie while he was sick and dying, its a tribute to him that he was lucky enough to see before the end was an added bonus. It was made to help him through a tough time from his friends and companions so not sure why you are asking why its only to him..no offense to Luke or any of the others, I love them all to bits, but this was made for him alone for a great reason
Well I'm not a U2 fan, or anything. But I think they did a good job bringing Irish bands and singers into this, to pay a tribute to Ronnie Drew, who definately deserved it.
The way I see it, a singer is a singer is a singer. When a folk singer sings a pop song, is he a folk singer when he sings it? And the other way around ? Also, I don't believe in categorizing music...
@LoneWiz forget about categorizing music, you're not saying that bono comes close to Ronnie and Luke, are you? Not to mention Ciaran, Barney, John and also Paddy, Jim and Eamonn
i think damo or shane shoulda got the lead, bono is d worst ting bou dis country, 16th of august, raise a pint of plain for ronnie, anyone that doesnt know what a pint of plain is shouldnt really be listening lol
You're right. Bono has turned into a bollix and should not be in the lead. How come Sinead didn't sing more? There were others there that woudl have done better than Bono, but he probably organized it. Shane is great but he did look shook. I really hope he is not the next one they are singing about.
Get real man... Shane is fucking up this song.... If you are singing a ballad like this.... than... DONT BE DRUNK MAN!! seriously.... i think its respectless
kinnegad, its a great tribute, its just that i dont think bono was really meant to sing lead for this, i cant help but listen to this song and listen to bono at the same time, but im sayin he isnt really that good of a singer to me
Typical Irish begrudgery and hyprocricy,U2 move their finances to Holland to avail of tax breaks in the same way we entice American companies to invest over here. They have given millions back to this country through over many years and I for one am proud they're Irish. They hurt no one and bring joy to millions. Every musician in this vid is special. Why knock any of them? If you don't like someone then don't listen to them. Simple. Great tribute to one great Irishman from others. Thanks.
makes me wonder when ya see the talent in that room, how they couldn't have come up with something a lil better, and a lil more dignified? i like the sentiment though. RIP Ronnie
That brought a tear to my eye. Thanks to bono and all involved for putting it together. One of my all time favourite songs is ronnie singing "the ballad of st anns reel" and its a fitting tribute he should get his own ballad. I met ronnie once after seeing his one man show in andrews lane, gentleman and a legend. R.i.p Ronnie.

bono shud b in th circus, he shud never have been allowed 2 write th song doesnt hav th 1st idea of wat irish traditional music is about, damian dempsey wud never hav had a look in wen the dubliners ,clancy brothers and christy moore wer in their prime RIP Ronnie
Ronnie Drew was a great man and I think this is a great tribute. I'm sick of seeing all the bono haters here on youtube. If you don;t like Bono thats fine. There's no need to post negative comments on such a positive video. Like Damo sings in his verse the more that we sing the less that we fight. So let's all just sit back relax and have a pint for Ronnie Drew.
bono just used this as self serving bullshit. he had nothing to do with ronnie musically. Christie Moore and Shane McGowan have a right to sing in this song, but fuck bono.
I hope god is good 2 Ronnie, he was and still is my idol. from the bottom of my heart ronnie i love u and i hope ur spoilt in heaven. i love who ever came up with this song
God, they should ban kids from posting crap on youtube...
This is a song written and sung by people who knew and respected Ronnie. Who cares who sung 44 words and who sung 45? It is the meaning behind the song that is important.
Unbelieveable the shit people write without thinking.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bono is such a faggot, he shouldn't have sung at all.. let alone stole the majority of the vocals from Shane MacGowan and the Dubliners (actual friends of Ronnie), let alone the Corrs and Sinead O'Connor who can actually sing. Bono is a grade A faggot.
Ronnie Drew was my hero and i was supposed to be meeting him just after the late late show thing but i was on holidays at that time. If i had the choice to change my decision i would've! Ronnie drew RIP, you and the others saved Ireland, for once i agree with Bono, Its not Parnell that was the uncrowned King of Ireland it was Ronnie! Ronnie will be missed by the generations his music created! Long live Irish Culture!
La verdad es que la muerte de Ronnie Drew fue muy dura no sólo para los irlandeses, ya que desde Argentina también sentimos mucho esta pérdida de uno de los exponentes màs grandes del rock irlandés junto con el gran SHANE MACGOWAN.
tmob777 ronnie drew was a brilliant singer and der wil never be another ronnie drew so shut the fuck up if u have nothing nice to say about the king of ireland
Bono, chorus, Shane Macgowan, Christy Moore, chorus, all of them (bono is louder though), Damien Dempsey, Bono again joined by Sinead O'Connor, chorus
if you appreciate the man enough, and if he made a difference in your life, especially at a young age, the song sounds very, very good. or rather, it makes you feel sad, but in a good way, because other people loved him, and other peoples lives were changed by him, even the greatest musicians in the world were effected by him, and they are repaying him.
the balleds were going stale in the clouds....it the first album ill be getting when i join you......you n luke two pints and an audience...what more do you want..... a true irsh world great....you have and always touch the heart of the people....i had the pleasure of speaking and singing with you...... them rare auld times are gone now...... ronnie rip my friend.........
look up dublin in the dictonary and you will see rons face ,as an englishman he made the peace progress move on through his wonderful lyrics and gave me an understanding of the troubles, god bless england and ireland,most of all god bless you ronnie,always a place in my heart.say hello to luke
The world has lost one of its one and only greats, a man knows that he has made it when shane macgowan is singing a tribute to him! And i agree with lennnukass that heaven is a happier place now that ronnie and luke are there singing together! Cliche i know, but he does deserve to rest in peace, god bless
ronnie drew died of throat cancer today on the 16th of august 2008. so dies a legend, a pioneer in irish music, an inspiration, a father, a husband, a son, a hero.
love this song ,go on ronnie ya good thing.who is the guy that sings after the upbeat and bono , got a really strong dub accent around the 3:10 min of song
why dont u like bono? is it his preaching or just u2? just wondering as i love the guy and think he is a great for ireland but respect everyones view.
and for the bono bashers who say he features too much in this very irish single i say feck To all the bono bashers posting bile filled comments on all the versions of this on youtube. feck off ye ejits, its for a cancer charity and the biggest profile there is bono and therefore the biggest draw for most international sales!! would it not make sense to put the biggest foot first

I agree...im a huge bono fan...but i kind of think they should have split the verses evenly...but that doesnt mean everyone has to go around bashing on bono. and he probably is the most well known out of this group of amazing singers, but it has nothing to do with talent or anything like that theres probably a reason he sang the most and its probably not stupid
It's for a very worthy cause, best of luck to Ronnie. The song, however, is complete shhhiit and an embarressment to the country. Look at all the hangers on....muppets. rule brittania.
I love this song, full of inpiration for a great irish man, the selected voices are awesome it demonstrates how love and respect feel the irish musicians and irish people to Ronnie Drew blessed be.
who is sad enough to dislike this?

and for the bono bashers who say he features too much in this very irish single i say feck To all the bono bashers posting bile filled comments on all the versions of this on youtube. feck off ye ejits, its for a cancer charity and the biggest profile there is bono and therefore the biggest draw for most international sales!! would it not make sense to put the biggest foot first

I agree...im a huge bono fan...but i kind of think they should have split the verses evenly...but that doesnt mean everyone has to go around bashing on bono. and he probably is the most well known out of this group of amazing singers, but it has nothing to do with talent or anything like that theres probably a reason he sang the most and its probably not stupid

It's for a very worthy cause, best of luck to Ronnie. The song, however, is complete shhhiit and an embarressment to the country. Look at all the hangers on....muppets. rule brittania.
