[DratronXD]

Cheers from Denmark

[69scherger]

Einfach nur geil die murphys,bs

[mvz1991]

wow i got top comment awesome XD

[insomniac352]

@mvz1991 me too, second one :D

[jdlamson]

Great to gear this. Pogues and Dubliners + Dropkick Murphys...yep. I'm good.

[nofxopivyrancid]

cool cover as always by these guys! top notch

[rudeboysimon81]

Man, I can't wait to see The Murphys at Vega in Copenhagen again. That'll be third I see them and I don't consider that enough times ;-). Have to see them many more times, cause they fucking rock

[TheOlgaG]

4'r fags says no ))) LOL ;)

[williejack2]

I love DKM, but nothing tops Ronnie Drew and Shane McGowan on this one.

[martinboi09lawdsv2]

@williejack2 true dat bro true dat.

[XoxEgan]

This song makes me wanna get drunk and just knock people over.

[GOODGAMEZERG]

Pittsburgh Irish Rovers-Pittsburgh Pirates

[insomniac352]

I get it now. This is Ireland's version of I'm On A Boat!

[WalkingDisaster581]

@insomniac352 Except "I'm on a Boat" is crap music. This song is meant to be taken seriously, and it's also an expression of traditional Irish culture.

[insomniac352]

@WalkingDisaster581 I agree, it is crap music. Also, i do take this song seriously, and i know that it is based on an Irish folk-song. I didn't mean to downplay this song with that comment. Hell, i didn't think it'd get that many likes. Chill out a touch.

[Mcguinness1994]

@insomniac352 they are actually from quincy massachusetts but it still makes no difference there unreal

[hatch2258]

@Mcguinness1994 there irish american you retard

[rlt94]

7 million barrels of porn :)

[SatanicTemptation]

[thekingoflecce]

I can't see the dislike bar!

[LanceCooL18]

i prefer the original.

[psyko45]

Happy Ol'McWeasel s version of Irish Rover is better :D

[3Dak]

@psyko45 Fuck Happy Ol'McWeasel. DKM rocks!!!

[cimcirimci]

@3Dak  AYE!

[mrkonja42]

/yo guys chek out orthodox celts-irish rover its good. =)

[Icetitan777]

Those who disliked, they arent Irish and wish they were:)

[tysvanautreve]

Flogging Molly - May The Living Be Dead

or am I the only one who hears the connection? :)

[hallabalooza]

@tysvanautreve It's a cover of an old folk song, what did you expect mate

[Icetitan777]

@tysvanautreve about 50 big bands and 100's of small ones have covered this! its old but a dear classic!

[tysvanautreve]

@Icetitan777 and that's the cool thing about Irish music :D

[celgalldrop]

Increible!! me encanta!!

[Punisher980]

great song! :D Greets from Poland! :)

[mvz1991]

[irishblood1998]

@mvz1991 hey

[GIORIKASPAOK]

@mvz1991 We do not care about your Britain civil wars :D

God ivented Vodka!!!!Cheerssss

[mvz1991]

@GIORIKASPAOK i dont care about britain too ^^

[TheTechController]

@mvz1991 the devil invented whiskey to stop the Irish taking over the world... God created women to stop the Irish taking over the house. haha

[spartinninja1149]

@mvz1991 HEY! IM IRISH (and i compleatly agree XD)

[mvz1991]

@spartinninja1149 i just noticed the shit load of likes it made me wtf XD

[woekeraar]

I'm dutch and since a couple of minutes i found out that i've been born in the wrong country. Long live the Irish and there music ;-)

[mannorox]

Saw the Murphys live in Adelelaide last night, fucking crazy! best concert I have ever been to, you have to seethese guys live its an amazing experience!

[Tripodite]

@mannorox I was at the same concert. Amazing. The atmosphere is like no other. They opened with this tune. I was front row ahaha. Gotta love Al shoving the moc in your face to sing a few lines

[mannorox]

@Tripodite haha nice man!

[ZicherCZ]

Got no whisky when listening to this ...

Well, Slivovice will do the job just as well :).

[20thCenturyPsycho]

we need more bands like dropkick murphys....cheers mates!

[necronomicon1331]

im not irish.... but long live the irish!!

[MRFOLEY24]

the first second of the video I said this is awesome... even better live tho

[howie9751]

I like Dropkick Murphys but not on this song. See Ryan's Fancy or The Irish Rovers for good versions. No disrespect Murphys...

[MossyKong]

Christ Ronny Drew would be turning in his grave.

[abcdvfghij]

@MossyKong Don't know about Ronny Drew, but I'm pretty sure that Ronnie* Drew of the Dubliners would be ok with it, especially since he and the Dubs sang a version of this with the Pogues that wasn't traditional either and he also sang a non-traditional version of Lannigan's Ball with the Murphys ;)

[Sewin2]

Yes apologies themystick u r correct.

Pob Hwyl (all the best)

Sewin2

[williejack2]

im surprised they havent done this song a long time ago

[Sewin2]

In irish its called craic in Welsh its called hwyl. Enjoy! Al x

[themysticX]

@Sewin2 oi, it's gaelic not irish, just sayin'

[sligosean]

@themysticX WROOOOOOOOOOOONG. The language is called Irish. To call it Gaelic can be considered offensive since it implies it has no relevance in modern Ireland. You should read up on modern Irish culture if you wish to assert things...

[BigGrib69]

Yeah except Al Barr is Scottish

[khelm616]

have you been to Boston??? Pretty much secondary irish.

[MrcabooseVG]

There not even irish except for the singer

[falcom2012]

@MrcabooseVG Tim Brennan

James Lynch

Al Barr

Ken Casey

Matt Kelly

Josh "Scruffy" Wallace

Jeff DaRosa

other than the banjo player theyre all irish look at those names

[01whiplash10]

@falcom2012 Matt Kelly and Josh Wallace for sure. ;)

[sligosean]

@falcom2012 Wallace and Barr are Scottish surnames. Brennan, Lunch, Casey and Kelly are 100% Irish though :)

[sligosean]

@falcom2012 Lynch rather. 'Lunch' is something else entirely!!

[1991Tijmen1991]

@MrcabooseVG They don't pretend to be Irish. In an interview with UP magazine (I think) they said "we're Americans that love Irish music" there's nothing wrong with that.

[marejedl2]

great

[CastletownScouts]

Why is it everyone gets on about being Irish or not being Irish on every DKMs video? Who cares as long as it's a good song or good version, as all theirs are. If there a reggae video from someone who is't Jamican nobody's bothered

[DinamoDanci]

How is it possible to dislike this song?

[dougandcarrie01]

diese scheisse geht ab,wau

[100blueeyedboy]

Great cover. Never heard a song by the Dropkicks I didn't like,

[gaizkajon]

Now, I'm Irish :D

[ThePartyBoy1009]

the 2 ppl who disliked this have no soul or taste in music

[crazyflannelman]

great performance, however, the tossers do it better

[WollongongWacko]

Boston

[WollongongWacko]

Bruins



[turkeypantz]

Who are these guys, now? I recognize only 2 of them. I remember them on small stages, like the Pipeline in Newark, New Jersey (1995). Good times! Good job on this song. Got the Dropkick Murphys' flavor with a good amount of traditional flavor. It reminds me of listening to the Clancy Brothers, with my mom.

[hrubeskarel]

Fuck them they're Irish:)

[EvanThaBoer]

@hrubeskarel they are american you nobhead...

[jasje225]

@EvanThaBoer originally Irish:]

[EvanThaBoer]

@jasje225 na'ah, they formed in Quincy Masschetussets, USA in 1996, get your sources right

[dragonfitter]

@jasje225 to be irish you have to be born in ireland not america

[98nh3609]

@dragonfitter Are you kidding me. Have you ever heard of immigrants, the kids would be irish born in America. I'm part irish yet i wasn't born in IReland are you really that ignorant

[dragonfitter]

@98nh3609 no immigrants from ireland for a hundred years unless your mother or father where born in ireland you aint half/part or whatever you want to call it irish real irish people fucking hate americans trying to claim irish roots. my pal jim comes from belfast he grew up there in the 60s and he considers his son who has irish mother and father to be english as thats where he was born.

[98nh3609]

@dragonfitter Obviously you sir or madam are a troll and I will no longer stoop to your level

[dragonfitter]

@98nh3609 me the troll ?you dont get what i am saying do you ?

[tollerancewithpride]

@dragonfitter Then no offence your m8's pretty dumb his sons Irish like or not.

Fair enuf bout the yanks chattin how 3hundred yrs ago some geezer whose slightly related to em was irish that pisses every1 off.

[jasje225]

@dragonfitter I thought they were born in Ireland, and then moved to America

[SlimSmockers]

I really love this guys

[xxleandraxx1]

irish pride

[bartmachura]

This song, is fu****g amazing, awesome, great! The best song of Dropkick Murphys!!

[aliencheesemaker]

It's good, but no better than the Dubliners and The Pogues version. Both fantastic.

[drewer97]

@aliencheesemaker ronnie drew is my cousin :P in the dubliners :) gowan the Dubs

[PaTrickyfy]

ROCCO DEL SCHLACKO!! ON THE WAY

[billyspurr]

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, so its my opinion that 2 people suck.

[diminution1001]

Love the Irish and Celtic music! Cheers from Finland!

[mopsinaut]

like heavy poques.



[HockeyMan1040]

@Alexaaa you can dislike the song, it originated from another band. you may not, however, dislike the DKM version (or the DKMs for that matter)

[Inu47Yasha]

I have been waiting for drop kick to do this song.

[HockeyMan1040]

@starstrap the guy in the middle is Scruffy Wallace, he only plays the bagpipes, and he's holding a tin wistle even though someone else play that. very contradictant

[HockeyMan1040]

it cant be possible to dislike this song, or Ken casey for that matter. if you dont know who he is, well, you're an idiot. (he's the guy at the very left in the back row, by the way)

[cachalou1982]

Finally !!!

[WollongongWacko]

BRUINS

[sami1332]

[ghighisor14]

[XxLovelyxXLettexX]

I <3 this freakin' song!

[thegame1001]

[starstrap]

[falcom2012]

@starstrap probably a tin whistle

[nintendomissions]

@starstrap tin whistle

[woodedwire]

if i would have a drink with my grandpa i would hope that it would be to this song!

[Rock1993Legend]

amazing :D 

[WhHyTeY]

shittest version ever

[TheJerksTC]

@WhHyTeY YOu don't go to videos to express how much you hate them, nimrod....

[WhHyTeY]

@TheJerksTC well thinking it might actually be an at least half decent attempt at the song i listend, was disgusted left a quick free opinion comment and went on about my business....amadán

[TheJerksTC]

@WhHyTeY i suppose everyone has a right to express their opinions....carry on.

[WhHyTeY]

@TheJerksTC wats your faviourite colour on the count of three and dont even think about it.....BLUE!

:o DID WE JUST BECOME BESTFRIENDS? BOOM!

[TheJerksTC]

@WhHyTeY haha!!!

[Alexaaa85]

Is it legal to dislike this song?

[cherryapplejuice]

@Alexaaa85 no .. i dont think so .. :D

[xXxjaytubenationsxXx]

@Alexaaa85 not illegal but impossible...

[DTear]

@Alexaaa85

It's illegal do dislike the Murphys in whole!!!!

[ScabiousGarde]

@Alexaaa85 I sure hope not, because I would rather listen too The Dubliners or The Orthodox Celts. It's not too bad of a song admitedley, but it pales in comparison.

[laport2]

@Alexaaa85

2 Douches think so

[MrPilchardo]

@laport2 Call the Youtube Police!

[vexter2009]

@Alexaaa85 I would just recommend staying away from Irish pubs if you do dislike it.

[2k10rocky]

@Alexaaa85 its illegal to even think about doing that!!!!!!!!

[jasje225]

@Alexaaa85 2 people are outlaws.

[jabbathewookie]

@Alexaaa85 it should be illegal to dislike it

[Alexaaa85]

@jabbathewookie You say it!

[themitch1966]

@Alexaaa85 I think you can "kind of" dislike it IF it's the barely intelligible Pogues version. But that's it.

[golf11117]

@Alexaaa85 it should be because this song rocks

[Mranialater1]

@Alexaaa85 i think it is

[fightingbouncer]

@Alexaaa85 it should be

[martoAXZ]

@Alexaaa85 Only if you're deaf :P

[TennVol92]

@Alexaaa85 Not in the State of Massachusetts

[fi5mvKsW3M]

For some reason I keep hearing Ken singing "7 million barrels of pooorn..."

Dunno why.

[Sattantykje88]

@fi5mvKsW3M That's precisely what I too heard.

[Ericthehammer76]

@fi5mvKsW3M he actually said "porter" if that helps.

[Ericthehammer76]

@fi5mvKsW3M he actually said "porter" if that helps. i guess it just came out that way XD

[stormbeast5]

its savage but you cant beet the poges and the dubliners

[ApbergetGreenDay86]

@stormbeast5 Actually both those bands sucks. DKM is far superior

[Alchoholica1]

@ApbergetGreenDay86 you cant say that the dubliners and pogues suck, but you like this. Not a big fan of the Dubliners but fucking love DKM nd the Pogues! DKM was inspired by both,

[ApbergetGreenDay86]

@Alchoholica1 It really doesnt matter that they were inspired by both. They dont sound alike at all, DKM has Punk rock, The dubliners och pogues does not.

So you can like those bands all you want, but if they play that kind of music without the twist, they do suck in my opinion. Thats exactly what it is, my opinion. And if you like the dubliners and the pogues, I cant really argue with that now can i ;D

[Alchoholica1]

@ApbergetGreenDay86 Ahhh, thats fair enough then, can't argue with that!

[thelolomathilde]

Frenchs Celtics love the Dropkick Murphys !!!!

Longue vie à ce groupe !!!

[Lord0Koka]

I love the Dropkick Murphy´s !!!!!!
