Blazin' Fiddles and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

[TreVuul]

Anyone else expected to hear Red hot chili peppers? :D... but anyway cool pipers...

[PIXscotland]

@TreVuul I take it you listened for less than one minute then?

[TheKatyc]

OOOO I LOVE THEM

[VeryStevePerry]

Really enjoyed that, thanks for posting. I love to hear the bagpipes, fiddles are great too.

[theMacvarish]

Whit ? A big boydudit and ranaway !

Thanks for this,heard a rumour they split ?

[randance1]

Just heard Band of the Irish Guards play Wi' a Hundred Pipers last night in Illinois-1st time I'd heard it, immediately hooked. Searched for that tune here, found these guys. They're more fun than the Bay City Rollers!

[cocatwoman7]

@randance1 I agree, I am hooked too! Wish these guys would come to America-esp. Colorado ta play at our Scottish Festival/Games up in Estes Park. The RHCP are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyy better than the freggin Rollers. has anyone heard Les's gigs recently-very sad/bad and I'm glad I don't have to listen ta him. He's on YT if ya wanna big laugh!

[bigbaddav72]

i think thats two red ardnamurchan camanachd jackets i see being worn by blazin fiddles.

[birgidaledoofy]

The blazin fiddles are excellent but the red hot chilli pipers are so tacky. they are all top class players but the tunes the pick are awful, think again boys.

[bcnsco]

look forward to seeing red hot chilli pipers at our independence celebrations!

[TartanBiscuit]

Amen to that!

[ELONut]

[LSBSPB]

red hot chilli pipers gets pretty annoying for most people. right away or very soon.

[mossieboy]

[bugboy800]

damn i'd like to see these guys do a cover of a red hot chili peppers song on their bagpipes, now THAT would be awesome

[killer070911]

i thought they whould

[Christherpiper]

I love red sporrans... gotta get one made for me

[cjlives]

gotta love the pipers... but they do try so hard to be 'rock' it should be the music that's important not rock head bobbing...

[coolthing100]

I love scotts!

Scottish mercenarys fighted togheter with swedes in The Thirty years war.Our king Gustavus Adolphus(The Father of modern warfare) loved the sound of bagpipes on the battlefields,actually he used the bagpipes to sound the attack in some battles,like the battle at lutzen and Breitenfelt.

[arachanox01]

if i were in a battle, i would also like to have bagpipes as my "battlesound"!!! bagpipes 4eva!

[Purdy123abc]

careful Catriona.. you might drop your violin!! BLAZIN FIDDLES ARE AMAZING!!!

[FalkirkBairn1]

god im so proud to be a scot rite now. i loooooove the chili pipers,,,,,,,,,,,,, pure ass kiking mixes

[shiona41]

Sentiment great. But learn how to spell!

[FalkirkBairn1]

soooo un-necesary

[billaeatscookies]

Scotland rules, come on the Red Hot Chilli Pipers

I'm proud to be Scottish :)

[destroyer1296]

You detractors need to get a life, these guys are obviously proud of what they have done and want to tell the world about it. They have brought a modern feel to a traditional instrument and what they have acheived is entertaining which is the whole point of the exercise. Don't knock the guys for their enthusiasim, or is it just a case of "sour grapes" because the pipers thought of melding rock with pipes first?

[Murrayc4099]

You speak for all of us, lovers of scottish music,

God im proud to be scottish :)

[piper1592]

why dont all you people trying to annoy these to bands just shut the hell up ...unless youv not noticde but thr the ones better off there touring the bloody world

[fiddleblaze]

First tune by the Red Hots is called Lexy McCaskill. It was written by John McCaskill and is in the Scots Guards 2 book. I can get a page number if you wish.2nd one Thomsons Dirk. Anyone with even a basic understanding of folk music would know this. Latewave, you have to get out more

[latewave]

Oy Fiddleblaze or should I say Simon T? I have to get out more? Take me out then and show me a good time with yer tune book! What page number is it? I'm excited to know! Or maybe I can ask one of the peatbogs instead since they covered Lexy McCaskill on their first album yeaaars ago.

[fiddleblaze]

I'll have you know my tune book has shown many a young man a good time. Page 24 if you must know.Are you excited now?

[latewave]

More excited than ever. I think we'd have a good time out together actually....

[cassellspiper]

The Chilli Pipers new CD is great!!

[latewave]

What Cassells, you think your own bands CD is great? Is there no begining to your modesty? It probably is great for the likes of using as a beer coaster or to throw at boring people who go on and on about how great they are.

[piper1592]

that isnt stuart cassels btw stuart cassells isnt 17

[latewave]

I'm afraid it is stuart cassells, this is a confirmed fact. The 17 years refers to his mental age.

[piper1592]

so why does he refer to the band as the chilli pipers in stead of " our bands"

[latewave]

because my dear, he's a fanny.

[latewave]

Last comment was directed at the 'Red hot chilli pipers.' Blazin' Fiddles on the other hand are in a league all of their own :)

[latewave]

Eigg man is a tune by the Peatbog Faeries - an inifintely more unique and talented band. Check them out instead of these charltans....

[Aponijohn]

i consider myself very lucky to have been able to watch the blazin' fiddles do their gig in germany for about 9 years ago and up to now i can't forget their gig and made me inspired that I began learning how to fiddle. and the Red hot chilli pipers? They really rock!

[santiano42]

That 'Eiggman' the first song played by the Red Hot Chili Pipers?

Whatever it is....they rock!

Never seen Blazin' Fiddles live! One thing I have to do!

[princesseisla]

Thanks for sharing this! Difficult to follow this wonderful group while living in Belgium!

They really rock!

[Wisnaeme2007]

Thanks Sam, Much appreciated. To be honest I'd never really "heard of you" as I hate these reality shows... I knew who you were once things got started up though. Excellent playing and performance to go with it. Keep up the good work!

[samhinks]

Excellent. Glad someone caught it on film. Cheers, Sam 'Chilli'
