Richard Thompson - Dad's Gonna Kill Me (2007)

[kimburruss]

SOA BITCHES!!! GREAT SONG!!

[neo2080]

Just watched the Sons of Anarchy episode with this song in. Loved Richard Thompson for years and recognised his voice straight away. Awesome show, excellent soundtrack! :-D

[MyFrontschwein]

Sons of Anarchy xDD

[haupper]

"Another angel got his wings this week / charbroiled with his own Willie Pete"

[smoody24]

SoA brought me here too, I looove this song! I'll never hear it again without picturing Jax shit-stomping that dude!

[pvtdangles]

just watched this episode . intense ending. shit. Great song

[daf827]

It's so cool that so many people discovered RT through SoA!

[angelosinski]

AND BEAT HIS HEAD ON THE FUCKING SIDEWALK JAX

[Hitchhiker15]

WOW!!

[cablegod85]

This is a bad ass song!!

[JaCkAsSdIcKhOuSe1]

SoA !!

[3GUNDVC]

Great song...

[Brums73]

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

[backroomcircus]

excellent !!!!!

[sappermorgan]

I realize what this song is about and it's brilliant but I must give SoA the credit for delivering it to my ears. From an infidel that is still living!

[omerbenian]

Bağdad's gonna kill ALL FUCKING INFADELS !

[joynthis]

This song is about a guy trying to stay alive in Iraq, not some Harley soap opera.

[YABRY]

@joynthis @androibu well yeah but it's just a soundtrack for a show- i dont see anything bad in it. Probably Beethoven too wouldnt like being a soundtrack for clocwork orange...

[joynthis]

@YABRY Now hold on there. Rational analogies are not allowed on Youtube. I'm reporting you.

[YABRY]

@joynthis Hahaha XD ok I'll try another approach... give credit to SoA for - at least- having a really good choiche of soundtrack. I like when a good show makes me discover better music. Plus i have to support my rational analogy ^^ I dont even like clockworkorange...

[xylsplat]

ok.. SOA.. yeah yeah.... but listen to the song... it aint about that show... give cerdit where credit is due.... great song.. great preformer... love it

[androibu]

Great song. Praise for a tv show and epitaphs for a fictional character probably weren't exactly the reactions Thompson was after with this song. Well atleast Dad ain't gonna kill em much longer :)

[espectrowm]

Sons Of Anarchy 4ever

half-Sack (f

[stoenyce]

HALF SACK!!!! RIP BROTHER

[atchy1969]

@PLENCH- amen to you brother. Couldn't have said it better myself man

[57adjrean]

He expresses what alot of us think but don't dare say (or sing).

This is life not some pretty make believe disney world characters.

And what fantstic guitar playing (as always).

[45Franky45Alcala]

SOA 

[sepheroth703]

Just bought soa 3 on blu ray cause I missed the whole thing ... Wow what an awesome song ...

[plench]

Here's a thought.....how about, instead of everyone arguing who liked this song first and whether you found out about it from S.O.A or whatever......can't we just, you know, LIKE the fucking song, just because? Does there really have to be a reason, or a dick-measuring contest over who's known of this song longer. Just appreciate the fact you're liking it now.....for whatever fucking reason. I'm sure Richard would just be happy we're listening.

[padraigpurseal]

He was in Dublin latley and sang a really strange set, don't get me wrong he was great sang loads a his classics but only one song from "Attic Songs" and only 2 tracks from "Sweet Warrior" so he never sang "Dads" which was a shame but he great all the same

[RoAkErOO]

Bone chilling ...:x

[red5llaw]

DAMN this is an AWESOME track! This sounds SO MUCH like Warren Zevon it is Amazing!!

BTW The SOA KICK ASS, Great show, but WHY Half sack...He was so coool and he even had a great Ole Lady! Man you killed off one of the up and comers in the show. DOMN YOU!!

[boilerfox04]

@red5llaw

The actor playing Half-sack wanted out so they gave him a good noble death.

[red5llaw]

@boilerfox04

Damn shame. He was a fun character that was both engaging and entertaining. Patching a young guy would have been great because he worked so hard at it. Especially Sack who’s one ball was Giant and BRASS.

[dixiedragon54]

I swear he looks orgasmic when he plays -- this man is awesome

[InfoWarsTV2]

I'm King of the Freakin' World & I love this song!!!

[rackopablo]

5 people are completely souless!!!

[Fxbxtest]

R.I.P Hale too

[MelissaMaggot666]

i love this song!!

[SuperBrainSurgeon]

Love it

[sara301]

Yeah - SOA had me checking this out - thought it might have been Nick Cave?!

[mrGeng1980]

30 years & now discovering Richard Thompson thank you Sons of Anarchy! quality tune!!!

[superbeavo]

Dad = Baghdad

[wazaa24]

Sons of Anarchy rules

[Merrygreenleaf]

I hope you enjoyed the show! I've been a fan of Thompson for years and thought it was just kickass the way the producers of SOA used his song!!

[dlrice]

Always love Thompson, his "1952 Vincent Black Lightning"

is so killer.

[oslopompey]

I wonder how much he charges for guitar lessons?

[blkbeautie1]

I am with jaibano...I had to look this up after I watched SOA...this is awesome.

[Bajsbyggarn]

The ending to the first episode in Season 3... perfect. Was wondering when he would actually do such a thing. Just smash the other guys face to the ground.. over and over again... perfect.

[RoAkErOO]

Pure genius... thanks SOA....:X

[gabe25591]

Instead of 'Sons of Anarchy' introducing me to Richard Thompson, the comments on video has introduced me to Sons of Anarchy. And I don't like it.

[redtigeroffire]

same story....

[MrAxemurder666]

the funeral ist a very good beginning of season3! SOA rocks!

[MrAxemurder666]

Half-Sack was cool!

[mink61]

Wonderfully perspicacious lyric as one would expect; final chord very reminiscent of eight miles high.

[sawyers92]

Great song.. I had heard of Richard but never really -- listened. Heard it on SOA and bought the CD for my husband for Christmas. He has had it in his car where he listens to music a lot with his job and it has been in there ever since. .

[forzen16]

When Jax kicking his ASS!

[HorrorNights1]

Hahah, as many other guys here, I knew this song because of SOA, I just finished watching the first episode of season 3, the ending was freaking epic, rip Half Sack, club will avenge your death, btw, this song rocks!

[goatgirl55]

@HorrorNights1 "guys"? yea...but the ol' ladies watch too!

[HorrorNights1]

@goatgirl55 oh, sure, my mistake :P

[Justahbu]

SOA S03E01 :)

[LawrenceSouljah]

Fuck You Stahl.

[Chriss91203]

TUNE

[Kilchattan7]

Look upon his works ye mighty and despair, electric, and I thought he was a folk singer.

For my Mesopotamian friendsxx

[goatgirl55]

@Kilchattan7 yea, but check out that stand-up bass in the back! the version from

the album has accoustic guitar...don't despair.

[GrungeHippie95]

@goatgirl55 That is Danny Thompson. He is one of the greatest upright bass players of all time.

[goatgirl55]

@GrungeHippie95 Thanks for the name, I will look for it...what a sound! (upright...i knew "stand-up" didn't seem quite correct!)

[varkostush]

Yep, I too was made aware of this song by SAMCRO; damn i love those biker boys. Now i love Dick Thompson too. That's a lot of man-love going on.

[AcesH1gh]

lol how much of a tool is that doksekko fella . i got on to floggin molly because of SGU how do you think music is discovered what you have to be a true blooded fan to like his music . catchy song btw, SOA have some good tunes heres to the next gem i might discover from a tv show

[jallanstrickland]

really good song

[hallettscove]

This guy has got me through the thick and thin.

[MrDrifterrider]

I've discovered this song thanks to SOA too and instantly fell in love with ! Thanks for the video : Richard Thompson's a great singer, I'm absolutely astonished ! (sorry for my approximative english, I'm French ;))

[tomludwig1]

lets never forget to protest against all wars for if you have been through it you never want to see it again

[MrFalcineto]

bello

[ChopyChopy]

R.I.P Half-Sack!

[MsJullejulle]

[mullo456]

[NHwild184]

I also Came here SoA. Now I have all his albums of Richard and His son Teddy Thompson.

[joebill1974]

SOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not only is it a great show but music is awesome

[dgdamore]

SOA turned me on to this guy too. LOVE this song. Haunting.

[clickswitchh]

Is he singing about the Iraq war ?

[Cleapatr]

@clickswitchh Yes ...

Dad = Baghdad

like Nam = Vietnam

in grunt speak

[gabegregoldo]

SAMCRO brought me too. xD

[cat26]

SOA best serie ever....pLease give us new stories and bring us as good music as that...

[Hazgha]

"I know that, but they don’t. You gotta show ‘em something. Make the hard choice, son. (…) Either Abel is dead, and you want revenge, or he’s alive, and you would kill to find him. Now if you can’t make that decision, then you better get down on your hands and knees and pray for something to get you there… Fast."

SOA FTW

[deehrulez]

haha, 3x01

[raceace32]

Wow, he's wearing a beret, cool

[chuggaluggaful]

i thinks its kinda lame it took being in an episode of SOA to get yall to hear this guy. he is amazing. and i luv SOA just as much as u, but damn, this guy will blow u away

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@chuggaluggaful it does suck it took SOA to get him some fame, but just be glad he is ya know? great guitarist. love his accoustic work.

[doksekko]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi What are you talking about? He was on letterman in the 90s, this isn't his first bit of fame. What you mean is it brought SOA to have a few hundred retards pretend to be his biggest fan for a couple weeks, before their attention span changes, and they move on.

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@doksekko way to make assumptions.

[Blackharrier32]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi It's hardly a massive leap on the part of @doksekko when he says it won't win many long-term fans, that's just the way of these things, although I wouldn't call them "retards" for that. And it most certainly did not take SAMCRO to "get him some fame" - RT started making huge waves back in the Sixties when he was with Fairport Convention. It's certainly bringing his music to a new audience, but it's not exactly his first audience.

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@Blackharrier32 exactly he has not been well known for a while. so this is bringing back some of the spotlight to him.

[robnaylor55]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi So "not well known recently" that he was awarded an OBE in this year's New Year's Honours List :-)

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@robnay that is Britan. That does not mean anyhting in the US. Like I said he was not well known recently.

[doksekko]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi You're wrong. You jumped on a bandwagon without doing any research. You got called on your bullshit; just walk away.

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@doksekko Nope I am not wrong. Also I have been listening to him for a while and again he is not that famous in the US in the mainstream so what I said was not jumping on the bandwagon nor was it bullshit. Want to continue with this pointless bullshit? You are an elitist fuck that is all you have proved.

[doksekko]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi See? Idiots who watched SOA pretending to be his biggest fan. Can't wait until the next season, when they play a new song that is kind of catchy and you pretend to be that artists biggest fan.

[gunsnroses0512]

@doksekko eat shit shit face im gonna piss on you you little whore

[gunsnroses0512]

@doksekko shut the fuck if you here a song some where and its good your obviously going to look it up... grow up faggot

[Vana1970]

@doksekko How rude, yes I found this gentlemen by watching SOA but that doesn't mean I have not enjoyed listening to him. Please do not class me a retard and I shall not assume you are a moron.

[Santaclaraization]

Sons!

[SkippyMFB]

samcro 

[Jungpres]

Me too

[willyllll]

RIP Prospect

[bubbalouie99]

not sure how many people listening to this know that "dad" is short for what soldiers call "baghdad" :)

[ebro111]

@bubbalouie99

it maybe ur slang in the services

not so sure in this song

Rgrds

[departments2006]

@ebro111

Richard explains it in a clip on Youtube doing thgis song at Cropredy Festival.

[ebro111]

@departments2006

True, I stand humbly corrected

Rgrds

[departments2006]

@ebro111

Hardly need to be humbled my friend. :) I was wondering myself why he was singing about his dad when the song was obviously about Iraq!

[JerrayBowling]

@departments2006

dad is short for Baghdad. He isnt singing about his father...

[pcristu]

here from the same reason :)

[masterknaster]

SOA- The Best show in the world featuring the best songs in the world!!!

[highcontrast2k7]

[muffy1949]

Thx Samcro !!! 

[piratebrido]

He's a brilliant guitarist too. Was so chuffed when I heard him on that episode of SOA.

[MultiArcadian]

great finale on ep 01 season 03....... and here i am. until now i don"t heard about r. t. band. man this is music

[Alvi316]

2 Mayans didn't like this song

[16vcaddyboy]

@Alvi316

2 calaveras

[paistian]

Great song

Great episode S.O.A. ending.

[mollieie]

Great song, greater artist. Richard Thompson ROCKS.

Sons of Anarchy? Whatever....

[altstrasse]

Hey, uh, it's "Bagdhad's Gonna Kill Me". Listen to the lyrics. Talking about "willy pete"-- that's white phosphorus rounds. Apparently with some exceptions people don't get the title right, or the song concept.

[CharlesRohlfs]

Dad is short for Baghdad.

[pjotr60dvd]

Strange, most people here know this song from SOA, as if it's the first time they hear about Richard Thompson. Good for him, finally gives him the acknowledgement he hardyly received for the past 40 years of brilliant music and performances.

[run8gene]

@pjotr60dvd yep I'll admit that was my first time hearing it or him, I'm just glad I was introduced to it somehow...

[solomsho]

from SAMCRO too :) glad to find this artist

[mero731]

Hooch 1107, you re completely right. First time I HEARD THE SONG it was in the SONS, it appears to be good propaganda:)

[MrGardman]

Just heard this song on SOA. Had to check out the song and artist here. Wow...excellent!

[TheKrug3r]

he has an ugly guitar

[SgtRip]

Great song, fits SoA like a glove.

[TheJonyyyyyyyyyyy]

"old ali baba he's a different species"

[pagan666blood]

great song!

SOA ruls!

[wish4whip]

There is nothing like a Harley, mine is a red sportster, this is a great song and perfect for SOA

[phoenixfullerton]

I've always been an Richard Thompson fan... When I heard this on Sons of Anarchy I just about fell off the couch... So, you could say SAMCRO brought me back to Richard... Thanks for putting this video upmnemonyxx - Phoenix.
