cbfiddler(Ashley), saw u last nite in n battleford n u met n exceeded all my expectations! cant wait for the new album, luv u!!!! bringin fiddlin to the masses....n ur canadian 2!!!!!!!!
if you like this- then check out the new tune coming out inthe next couple of months- the cumpendium to devil in all my shows touring the first two years of high how are you today- but now recorded with daniel ray(of ramones fame)and the best rythm section ever for tight metal fiddle chrunchy grungy strathspey called
I have one thing to say...if Ashley MacIsaac joined forces with Charlie Daniels (best known for "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"), can you imagine the fiddling power between those two!? This could seriously rock!
fuck off with retarded comments he may be a fag but who the hell cares his music is great and although i don't support homosexuality i can still appreciate his amazing music
Personally a straight patriotic West Coast Cdn citizen I think this guy is an awesome musician and artist. On a logical evolutionary; pro-creative level his targeting or partner/fluid preference may be considered flawed; however it is a free personal choice. LMARO 'bye
i wish this guy could have gotten bigger...i may be remembering incorrectly, but his star seemed to fall once he came out of the closet. Like that has anything to do with this kick ass "cape breton punk rock"! Kilt flashing FTW!
KSU Folk Festival about '96. He just won the Cape Breton title. He could dance and fiddle at the same time. No one here had ever seen THAT ! it was incredible. A year later he dressed differently and had a world hit. And ask him about that night at Kent when he heard a uillean piper and some bongo players. I like to think it inspired this tune.
awesome canadian celtic Cape Breton Style drinking tune,this reminds me of when i was i wee lad looking up to my brothers as they drank their faces off, hapy st pattys day to all,
he saved the gaelic language and drove the snaks out of the land of eire , OI from toronto ontario canada
lol i was watching this at the olympics and all i said was "this better be Ashley MacIsaac or he'll be pissed", turns out it was, good thing. GO ASH!
I love bands Pogues, Horslips, Flogging Molly, Steeleye Span and I am shamed I didn't hear about Ashley MacIsaac until yesterday. It was really great performance!
hi y'all i'm from serbia, and i watched this guy for the first time at the olympics opening... can anyone link me to a better audio of this song, or some other songs that are as fast, and bad assed as this? xD
sick song man! i never knew you could make music like that with a fiddle, and since im a metal fan i never knew id actually like it! and you did a friggen awesome job at the olympics last night, keep playin my man. pce
as soon as the fiddlers came on during the Winter Olympic opening ceremonies, i was wondering when Ashley Macisaac would make an appearance, and he closed the set...
I was thinking the same thing, lazysmarts. As the set came up its like "hmm, kickass tappers and fiddlers, kilts, rocker attitude...oh Aaaaashleeey, where are youuuu?" Freaking awesome setup at the Opening Ceremonies.
who cares about his sexual preference, that man has skills, this song always picks me up when I am down, such good energy, keep up the good work, hope for more sometime.
wtf. A picture of what nature??? You said he was gay. WHO CARES? You're clearly a moron in assuming I don't understand english by asking you to elaborate on your "he's as gay as they come" comment. I've very aware of what being gay encompasses.
"curiosities of this revealing nature that you are so vigorously concerned about" - it seems you've gone and lost your understanding of english. Using big words doesn't make you sound smart if you're just tossing shit together that doesn't make sense.
Ashley Macisaac coulda been fucking huge... he had some awesome songs back in the mid 90's, and then his erratic behavior just turned everyone off so badly... Sleepy Maggie, Devil in the Kitchen, and Brenda Stubbard, great songs from my youth.
Genius has its own modes of expression, and although it's not really an excuse for his "erratic behaviour" as you correctly termed it, I think the reason his songs were amazing and the reason his behaviour was...um...erratic might have something to do with one another. Still, it's worth noting that many American rock stars have far less talent and behave far worse and get away with it.
@uglybuckling He got into it way too young. He was touring and getting exposed to stuff when he was a kid, and never learned to approach it as an adult. He's doing alright now though, at least he's still got some mad talent. :)
omg, i love this song. i'm a fiddler myself, & Ashley MacIsaac is my idol!! i met him in Antigonish, Nova Scotia & he is an absolutely amazing player! :)
It is indeed the devil in the kitchen! It's true, this song may be celtic in origin but it fits any genre and appeals to all. What's not to like? I'd love to hear new Ashley MacIsaac, if that was possible. I'd buy anything he put a name to.
i think that ashley can succeed in anything he does. his punk like this is so rebellious and insane.. the kind of thing that's irresistible to play air fiddle to. his pop like sleepy maggie is great... give that one a chance. his fiddle is amazing and he succeeds in any music genre.
He's not a great actor either, but boy can he fiddle! (He was in a late 90's movie called The Hanging Garden) Love! Love! LOVE! Ashley McIsaac! (I'm happy to be from Canada, wish I was his home province.)
just find me a better version of this song
