But yeah, good ol' Irish Stout kills Heineken. But I think Heineken is a quite good 30°C--14-o'-clock--beer.

[sanitymeltdown]

ha ROO!!!!!! johnny i hardly knew ya!!!!!!!!1

[niekolas]

ow right but I don't get why the 25 secs are live and then they use the original song I just don't get that

[niekolas]

why are only the first 25 secs live?

[padraigomuireagain]

it's not a live video, just a bonus video on the dvd

[k405w0lf]

The first 25 seconds are live footage, its a recording from a live concert. He knows that is from the dvd, he is trying to figure out why the intro is done in the wonderfully bad quality of live recording, and the remanding 3min+ is the actual stuidio recording. They as in the makers of the DVD

[makedamnunderground]

that is a mystery

[JamesRichmondJr]

I'm mostly a country fan but I love the Dropkicks

[kidwithalameusername]

welp...i actually feel bad for starting a political debate here...so i deleted my comments that weren't related to the murphys...i kinda crossed the line and forgot that we all have the right to our own oppinions...so...yeah...anyway­...probably the most hipocritical thing i've ever done...so...yeah sorry metsfann2020 and snabbelkrab...even though you guys kinda pissed me off i started it...yeah

[kidwithalameusername]

great band great song

[RockyRock1994]

hey is this really the music video 4 this song?

[padraigomuireagain]

yea its on the meanest of times dvd

[Snabbelkrab]

irish have somth to be proud of: they withstood tenths of years of surpression by english and religion and it didnt stop. yet they keep making joyful and rebellious songs. i think thats what keeps them cool. other that u patriots in america from which some of the most vulgar music comes.

for ur information im Dutch and im proud to be smoking weed and liberalise prostitution instead of surpression which helps no fuck, except that the fines keep up some invasive, arrogant, and torturing country...

[tunaunit3]

fuck yeah man! ill drink to that!

[kidwithalameusername]

you know dropkick murphys are actually from the U.S right?

[Snabbelkrab]

y i know, i was speaking of the irish in general

[Snabbelkrab]

how could he possibly mess up anything. anyone but bush could have done it better, even i, u know that, dont you?

[metsfann2020]

he abiled out the car companies because without them alot of smaller companies would fall it wouldve caused a dominoe effect you stupid fuck. God people are so ignorant someimtes

[tyeboi77]

dude Irish people are pretty badass

[mom3ontheedge]

i love the tin whistle in this song....DROPKICK MURPHYS!!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

[eertrallod]

oh wait....you're english. I get it now.......

[TheRandyChimp]

okay, i could interpret that as an english insult or an understanding statement. Guess i'll go hald and half

[44payday]

that crowd sux ass! you have gigs in usa every weekend... but here in czech rep its different..DKM was there first time and it was hard core moshin' show... but thx 4 postin' that track...

[eertrallod]

maybe if you had better bands from the czech rep there would be more shows out there. Instead you have to suck up to one of our american bands.....

[44payday]

what do you know about czech bands? i dont like them but you have so many good bands and otherwise so many fakin Crap bands... we are small country and bands like DKM should support everyone who deserves it.. We,in czech think DKm are Pure punkrock band but in the usa its almost on mtv...and as the JEllo said : MTV get off the air.

[TheRandyChimp]

dude, that whole statement was a self indulgent piece of shit!

"maybe if you had better bands from the czech rep there would be more shows out there. Instead you have to suck up to one of our american bands..... "

Wat the fucks that, how vomit inducingly patriotic. i feel like being sick on an american flag!

[eertrallod]

Were you picked on as a child?

[poopshoot718]

i remember that song in concert.. i went fuckin nuts when i WAS FRONT ROW BITCHEZ... nice vid man... i want alot more to watch

[irishquake]

Im 85% Irish, and 15% German, but like me Irish side best. The Dropkick Murphys are awsome, and represent home well!!!!

[irishquake]

Im 85% Irish, and 15% German, and love me Irish side. This song is representing irish people everywhere. Go Dropkick Murphys!!!!

[avataress0]

I LUV THIS SONG

[illusivemcsorley]

Would love to see these good Irish lads do a song with Dolores O'Riordan. She might seem petite but she will deliver a vocal-lightning bolt for yer arse lol.

[nimbus542]

woah... a left handed drummer

[misfitsboy123]

i'm ambidextrous to drums...

doesn't make me good though...

[RebelArmy789]

and Ken Casey is left handed bassist.

[kidwithalameusername]

hahaha yeah...or check out def leppard with thier one armed drummer

[hoopy7celtic]

I love Dropkick Murphys but i hate how they Americanised, Irish And Scottish national folk tunes and i hope they do relise what half of the songs mean. Like this song was about Irish soldiers and Fields Of Athenry was about freeing Ireland. No one flame my comment lol, just want to see if people agree with me or at leaste see where im coming from :P

[thecoffeeman22]

AMERICA FUCK YAAAAA

[detainedbassist]

I'm Irish but I love these versions. Considering they're Irish and from Boston, I bet they know what the songs are about.

[eertrallod]

they aren't stupid kids dude. They know what they are doing......

[ScHnIzZeR]

They are very proud of their heritage so I'm sure they learned the meaning about the songs. I think it's the people listening to the songs who don't know the meanings. I understand your fear of the meanings being lost. I disagree on your thoughts about them Americanizing the songs. I'm an Irish-American and these songs are a part of my history I would not have known if it weren't for them singing them. Not too many proud Irish where I grew up! haha

[Rexik]

Any1 can tell me if its a cover of some other song ? i know this sounds but other band ;o. 95% its clash, but not sure.

[padraigomuireagain]

johnny i hardly knew ya is an old irish song from the 1800s, a lot of other songs use the tune and are based on this

[Rexik]

thx for info. i finally figured it on my own.

sry for bein such an ignorant ;)

[willwehling]

@Rexik It is a traditional Irish Folk Song.... So yes, it is a cover.....been covered countless times

[tmob777]

Come on your sox fan

[DKeKoureZZ]

yea kick ass man

☺

[Djsilver64]

this is like, the only rock song with a banjo..

[padraigomuireagain]

most of their other songs have it too - im shipping up to boston / state of massachusetts. flogging molly always have one too

[recker18]

Floggin molly uses the too. Check out Seven Deadly sins

[BrainDeadGhost]

Kick ass!

[bluntgard]
