The Dubliners - Whiskey In The Jar

[alessandromagno76]

grandiiiiiiiiiiiii!



[elsoultero]

Cripes! You mean they were young once?

[metaldazzman123]

I feel so proud to have Irish blood in me when I listen to this group and others like them.

*also, check out: Fields of Athenry, Rocky road to Dublin, Maids when you're young never wed an old man, Seven drunken nights AND the sick note* all brilliantly played by the Dubliners

[degeth]

To all the Irish people here..... I love your traditional music and I love Luke Kelly..

All the best from Turkey..

[ydrohoos7]

pure me a Jameson please

love from Greece

[hasod22]

the song Thin Lizzy totally ruined , they were an insult to the Dubs .

[mtvmustdie]

but i take delight in the juice of the barley

[rustymuckybottoms]

this is outstanding, i love it! this is real music performed live by real musicians. as an american i can honestly say... fuck metallica (corporate sellouts) and thin lizzy's version is mediocre at best. long live the Dubliners! now i'm gonna get another beer...

[xSH0CKTR00PERX]

you can't top this. we need more music like this now

[SuperGilberto1977]

Metallicas version is better

[oldfilikin]

@SuperGilberto1977 eh?

[jobirgheidi]

Beautiful men !!!!!!

[RepublicOf32]

Aye sure Luke, the free-staters have invited the queen of england to the 26 counties now. So what does it matter?

Fuck any free-state cunt that accepts windsor in my country.

[irishgeal1]

irish hearts swell with pride with embassadors like the dubliners.

[Keach47]

@irishgeal1 why don't you learn to spell, then?

[AntiGravDisclosure]

love ronnie drews voice on the chorus. what a voice. brilliant

[hacter27]

this i very funny the metallica video is better

[irkofan]

@hacter27 Eh, they aren't bad. I still think this version is tops. 

[balloch]

@hacter27 No it isnt't.

[kayjay83]

@hacter27 who ? irish metal band ?

[celtic4ever18]

proud of my irish blood and roots erin go bragh

[celtic4ever18]

@celtic4ever18 my dream is to play with them with tin whislte

[theriddler200]

the original is the best

[ivehadit1]

luke kelly , legend , the growling bastard behind became the voice of the bubliners



[SGRollingStone]

@ivehadit1 Screw you man, Ronnie's voice is as legendary as Lukes. He was always on parr with Luke so don't even think of degrading him on Lukes account.

[ivehadit1]

@SGRollingStone always loved ronie drews dubliners ,and ye , he has got a legendary voice as did luke and even shane mcgawen if you want to go that far , but lukes early death made him the legend that he is .....didnt mean to degrade anyones status , all equally as good , just vastly different

[SGRollingStone]

@ivehadit1 OK, no harm done : )

[supermarsie]

my grandad love these and he used to sing all their songs and he even won a prize in the oak tavern

[okielokie1]

[okielokie1]

@mushakal last thing, you keep on saying that americans are dumb like it's a known thing...so i'll say...muslim's are fucked in the head and should be exterminated from the planet, so STOP IT. the toxins they inject YOU as young kids, blah blah blah...etc etc. see i can do the same thing. :-) dont have kids either, all youll do is teach them to blow up others and enslave your women. :)

see ya clowns

[okielokie1]

@mushakal yeah as figured, you dont know any statistics on it, you are what we call the "internet generation"...easily fooled and do not know the actual info...you just go along with the crowd...gotcha! :-) thanks for confirming that. lol please though, keep on trying...i like the dedication.

[thendarius]

you two should stop posting on this wondeful video, seriously

[okielokie1]

@mushakal show me the statistics from that video then i'll say that that video is accurate.

back later tonight

[okielokie1]

@mushakal when you make a video and out of all the people you interview, of course they are gonna pick the ones that are the dumbest...lets do a video about them being the smartest people in the world...we could do the same thing...put the best answering people on there. what was the percentage of people answering wrong on there? was there a variable? there is more to this than meets the eye. was everyone on there from the US? i will tell you just from watching it, not everyone was American.

[okielokie1]

@mushakal yeah i watched the video...yeah those poeple are stupid but i cannot speak for everyone. they are the most powerful for a reason. we could find videos about making fun of Islam, or wait...MUSHAKAL.

ill be back later

[okielokie1]

@mushakal alright, youre muslim, ill meet you half way

[okielokie1]

@mushakal 86% couldn't even point to Iraq on a map? i dont agree and im not even American. you just have a jealousy for America. if they are the dumbest people on God's earth, why are they the most powerful? why do they make Saudi Arabia look like a tinker toy? dont be mad that your Islam isnt accepted as much as you'd like it to be.

"They live in this little world where they play music and type "the eagle is soaring" and start sobbing into their flags?" so what, they love their country

[okielokie1]

@mushakal uh huh...you are islam...but you are still in darkness.

[okielokie1]

@mushakal GOD IT MUST SUCK BEING A FILTHY MUSLIM! you mother fuckers just need to die and rid yourself off this planet and stop blowing people up...NO ONE LIKES YOU! DON'T YOU GET IT???????? TAKE YOUR VAILS AND YOUR FUCKED UP IDEAS, CRAWL IN A HOLE AND DIE!!!!!!!!!!

[okielokie1]

@mushakal you'll always be a hated muslim...HAHAHA! so if you are too stupid to look up what an actually nigger and redneck means...then so be it! i realize you living in the middle east and all, you don't have those resources...THAT MUST SUCK! you live in a shack and all with your Euro trash boyfriend...you two can only do so much! and pretending to think your group on people are liked ISN'T GOING TO HELP YOU JOCKEY!!! :-D

[okielokie1]

HAHAHA! where only fucked in the head people live and blow up people! again, LEARN WHAT A REDNECK ACTUALLY MEANS! what a dumb fuck!!!

[okielokie1]

@mushakal oh crap, i just looked at your profile...you are a sand nigger. no wonder why. nevermind...i'd be mad as well if i lived in Saudi Arabia. no wonder why you're bitter...i will stick with Puerto Rico. you keep venting...i don't blame you. it helps trust me, whenever i'm mad i vent too. hang in there.

[okielokie1]

@mushakal hey mushakal nigger boy, learn to construct sentences better, you do not make a lot of sense in some of your posts...get EDUCATED a bit, ok? try at least, i'll at least respect that.

[okielokie1]

@mushakal i love fake internet wit, it's like shit, it runs down hill...you know what i'm talking about boys :-) you two are the original internet tough guys...you'd be fun to disembowel though...you are right though...you DID fail extremely :-) try again!

[okielokie1]

@mushakal nah my plan is better, lets burn Gebruikersnaam's little sister, DON'T STEER AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL PLAN! COME ON HONKEY! dam it is so hard to find motivated people these days! i liked the failed part though, just like when you thought these guys were American, right? HAHAHAHA! now THAT'S a FAIL! wanna try again? oh how cute, you and Gebruikersnaam are internet friends who pretend to drink together. :-)

[okielokie1]

@mushakal by the way you dumb son of a bitch, this group is from Ireland. talk about putting your foot RIGHT INTO your mouth! HAHA! still, it would be cool to drink beer with you and watch Gebruikersnaam10011's little sister burn alive!

[okielokie1]

@mushakal even funnier would be to watch them burn alive, we could drink a beer while we watch :-D

[okielokie1]

@mushakal nah, what would have been funny is if your family was in those towers too. THAT would of been funny

[DecemberWhitePhoenix]

AWESOME!

[mrfinn9]

Ronnie's voice cuts through like a knife. There is no sweeter sound in the world than his singing.

I know he is up above now and he tossed out the harps and choirs and replaced them with a fiddle, banjo, tin whistle and is teaching the angels some real songs.

Best wishes from the States.

[happyuk06]

Absolutely brilliant!

[Gebruikersnaam10011]

Sounds like a bunch of retards,.. oh wait they are XD

[okielokie1]

@Gebruikersnaam10011 you would know, you are one dumb fuck, and yes, you are a retard. i cant wait to get that virus programed. you are so fucked

[okielokie1]

@Gebruikersnaam10011 mushakal mushakal, i got an idea. if you thought 9/11 was funny, we should burn Gebruikersnaam's little sister alive...we can pour petrol all over her, soak her clothes then set her on fire, watch her burn and hear her cry for mercy and scream for her mommy, and you and me can laugh and spit on her as she burns alive, screams in agony for her brother Gebruikersnaam. now THAT would be funny, burn bitch BURN! fresh smell of burning flesh <sniff>

[Gebruikersnaam10011]

@okielokie1 Ahaha rofl, you're so pathetic, can't win a discussion on 1 vid and then you try it on every other comment i placed but you faaail (:. Pathetic idiot :)

[okielokie1]

@Gebruikersnaam10011 so that means i can fuck your sister then if we cant burn her?

[Gebruikersnaam10011]

@okielokie1 I don't even have a sister ^^. Go fuck yourself moron :)

[okielokie1]

@Gebruikersnaam10011 you don't any more you dumb fuck...when you tried to rape her, they took her away! HAHAHA!

now you have to go fuck your Saudi Arabian boy friend in the ass instead! you two are a waste of space! one muslim which everyone hates so he has to come on the internet to vent because he's mad at the world and one European fag who is mad because he can only get some sand nigger for a boyfriend! HAHA! life must suck for you two :)

[Gebruikersnaam10011]

@okielokie1 Nah, your frustrations look like your dad raped you in the ass and put you in a cardboard box in the middle of the missisippi river. Then you got raised by some fucking agressive jellyfish and now you're trying to swear on people on youtube, in which you miserably fail :). Story of a lifetime ^^

[okielokie1]

@Gebruikersnaam10011 funny thing is, i touched a nerve with you and your sand nigger boyfriend...HAHA! it must suck fucking one of them in the ass, doesn't it?????? you mother fuckers talk shit, now you deal with the consequesnce...shit runs down hill...just like you two

[okielokie1]

@Gebruikersnaam10011 looks like you got raised in an ignorant household, you don't even say anything constructive on this video pages except to piss people off...living in Europe must blow and im sorry...better yet, living in the middle east sucks even more...you two are douche bags! HAHA!

[okielokie1]

@Gebruikersnaam10011 i'm surprised your boyfriend mushakal the sand nigger even has a computer in his shack!!!!!! where do you two faggots sleep? on the floor? do you take turns on your decrepit computer there? HAHA!

DUMB FUCKS! :-)~

[okielokie1]

@Gebruikersnaam10011 COME ON FAGGOT...ARGUE...you and your dirty diseased boyfriend can put your heads together (no not that way you two faggots) and come up with something useful to say...COME ON!

[supermachine2000]

``said`` LoL

[1TGuy1]

Ronnie Drew, that voice is just amazing

[Djpesic]

LUKE is a Best see from SERBIA for all IRISH peaople

LUKE je najbolji pozdrv iz Srbije

[mealyea]

Uisge de jour meaning Carpe diem or seize the day or a literal translation of the life of the today.

[mealyea]

if it was Usige de Jour. Would it not make more sense.

[wrenchandgun]

fact: the lead singer is actually screech from saved by the bell.

[Hexagrams]

God bless luke, and long live the Dubliners!

[irishgeal1]

luke in command of a song.

[EoinCondon]

I think id explode if i heard luke and ronnie playing live

[kidcorvair]

I think you'd be dead... if not from where you had to go to see them play, but also from the explosion....

fuckin brilliant, I agree

[zulawoo]

I'm so glad I got the dvd about luke kelly a few years ago, has all these songs with luke, all just.. well fucking brilliant, pardon my french

[05giacomo]

metallica backstage..XD...just kidding...funny!!

[matija191]

they're funny :D i like both versions :D

[OB1theveggie]

This is how I want to remember the Dubliners:- how I first saw them at a concert in Chatham, probably about the time this video was made about thirty years ago. I was devastated to 'pick-up-the-pieces' recently to learn of the so sad deaths of Luke Kelly, Ciaran Bourke, and greatest loss of all perhaps, dear Ronnie Drew. You can keep the new Dubliners, these were the real deal. Luke, Ronnie, Ciaran, I miss you all

[HerlihyXC]

dubliners >

[WackenOtto]

I love both versions! There should be no war or converation about metallica being better or the dubliners, both are great musicians and did a great job with this song!

[WackenOtto]

I meant to write "Conversation" or just a senseless Discussion i general.

[WackenOtto]

IN GENERAL. Damnit ^^ Damn you YouTube and your non-existing EDIT Button!!!

[ohmannhey]

Luke Kelly .... the Legend ...

[stonerstare420]

This is awesome ! i love the way they sound

[Stumblestrum]

Wow!! Metallica look really different in this video. JUST kidding.Nobody looks or sounds like the Dubliners. Brilliant makes me want to drink a pint when I watch this.

[GriffonKeeper]

God bless the Dubliners and God bless Ronnie Drew!

[ntrnate]

lol canadians and the irish sound alike

[00JTM]

Good song

[SoldadoRasoRnR]

esta mejor por Metallica por Dios

[maxgrunge]

definitivamente...

[ntrnate]

stupi ass foreiner

[wqpeb]

Those of these gone on before....

God rest them.

Luke and Ciaran were part of the very earth,

and Ciaran was a living saint, whats more,

God rest them one and all.

[MissMarpel1]

Luke Kelly  FOREVER !!!!!

Best regards from Austria

[irishpoe]

Now this is the version i grew up with god bless ye Luke, Ronnie, and Ciaran none could even begin to compare......True Dubliners.

[Ibik]

Ha thats brilliant! I cant belive the violinst' beard isnt getting in the way!

[stevenstreets3]

can you believe this tune saved my arse at a church choir banquet?We were supposed to entertain our professional peers and I lost the mozart music i was going to sing so I just took my beer and cap up to the piano and did this acappella. The audience, my peers and the chorus master loved it. They even started clapping and whew!

Saved form the wrath of the Lords people by "Whiskey in the Jar". It really was a last minute panic attack on stage until I started singing this.

[johnrcoben]

Very nice.

[LoveMetalJuh]

I only knew this song because of the Metallica cover...!

It's nice

[MrEire95]

The best times of the Dubliners

[peperasta]

plenty to learn with this song, have a brother in Kilarney, kill the captain straight away and @ the end of the day Jenny you're a rothen maid :)

god bless you Luc

[QuellBC]

I have much respect and love for this version, as it leans more to the original, but i have to say i love Thin Lizzy's adaptation too. IMO both are worthy of praise. Oh and IMO i have no problem with Metallica playing it live, but it shouldn't be on any album of their's, as Thin Lizzy made that version...

[yablo4]

the only album metallica has this on is an album of covers and they credit Thin Lizzy so there you go

[kirihara120]

I love the rustic sound of this version. So good.

[Pepi196]

Since yer alredy talking about Metallica...In my oppinion the traditional version is much better, yeah...But Metallica did a good job too, because they introduced a great song, to a great deal of audiance, who probably wouldn't even know the song otherwise.

[vamolas]

I first listened to the traditional version minutes ago and it is perfect (much better than the metallica version indeed). Of course I knew the metallica version since the release and I agree that the introduction of new audience is a credit that should be given to them.

[cachod2211]

oh and dont forget thin lizzy... they did a good cover too

[irishrebel92]

fuck up tosser

[akenny01]

SHUT up fool, faggot pikeys!

[irishrebel92]

wat r u talking about u embarresment? ur from county wexford and your calling other people pikeys?? your a fucking idoit

[akenny01]

lol, so im a pikey cos im from wexford? Hahahaha I HATE Pikeys and then all your fuckin shit GAA and irish rebel songs, EMBARRASSING,

ballynahinch I rest my case

[EunusRex]

I'm tired of people commenting about Metallica under each 'Whiskey in the Jar' interpretation. Metallica's is a failed cover of the Thin Lizzy version. This one by the Dubliners is much more close to the original. So it's apples and oranges.

[mbessone]

check out Jerry Garcia's version.

a very melancholy rendition.

[DickDaggeronthetube]

Well Metallica changed a lot of the words, so its not really the same song in my opinion.

[celticchristian91]

Metallica's version, which I curiously watched once (only halfway) doesn't meet the superiority of this version! Of course, I may be biased, since I hate rock...

[DickDaggeronthetube]

I like Metallica, but i think they perverted the true meaning of the song.

[JumpingTomato]

I wonder, is it know who actually wrote this song, or is it just a old Irish Folk song, writer unknown?

[glnelson1956]

It is an Irish traditional ballad that dates from roughly the 18th century, according to most soruces.

The Dubliners, the Seekers and The Irish Rovers all do superb traditional versions, using traditional lyrics, that capture the heart, soul and spirit of this song.

[glnelson1956]

In the 18th Century, "Whiskey in the Jar" was popular in Colonial America, prior to the Revolutionary War, according to many sources.

In his book "The Folk Songs of North America" author Alan Lomax suggests that the song probably originated in 17th Century Ireland.

[Snorjin]

Untrue. It is unknown who originally wrote it, but yes - just an old irish folk song.

[bynot1]

Dubliners 1st.

Lizzie close 2nd

[irishpoe]

dont be postin nancy metal propaganda on our vids.

[chunkyhugo]

Great song; Lizzy was the best no matter who performed it before or after. Don't get upset, it's only my opinion!

[Ibik]

awesome :)

[mckennaduffy]

The Dubliners can make any song sound great

[ChildeRolandofGilead]

Fuck you, kraut.

[renshammar]

All three versions are good :)

[issodor]

finnywinny123123, you sure its not your music taste that is just pure shite?

[mckennaduffy]

your a cockface!

[RiflemanRay1]

Love it....RiflemanRay

[EireGoon]

I got some of their songs on a CD of Irish Drinking songs - brilliant cover!

[Lozza1191]

R.I.P Luke Kelly

[nichonr95]

no they didn't lol

[crimen]

your full of shit..metallica killed this song.

[K1n9N0th1n9]

they didnt kill it, but they didnt make it better either

[Stonegolem42]

To each his own taste, I suppose, said the missionary to the cannibal.

[finnywinny123123]

Metallica turned the song to shit.

[chicken7555]

are you a clever man? i doubt it
