It's A Long Way To the Top - Dropkick Murphys

[jeremyrees01]

Hmm, I found this on vinyl a while ago. I was a little skeptical cause I'm not a huge fan of AC/DC but I'd have to say this is one of Dropkicks best covers, aside from their traditional song renditions.

[HeadbangerXbox360]

great cover

[thekaiserindahouse]

I'm sorry but it just doesn't work with the uber raspy voice :/ And then to steal the bagpipe solo!!! NO! that is forever Bon Scott.

[justin70108]

i don't know why you faggots are hootin and hollerin over this GAY ASS cover, this fucking sucks and so do you

[onthestreets2]

@justin70108 ok Justin...BIEBER.

[MrSct1976]

i 1st so dkm at the ratt with blood4blood and was a fan right away then they got cheesey when my buddies dragged me to a st,pattys day show for free they played this song and i became a fan again sounds better live

[Murph1331]

Thumbs up if you would want to see DKM and AC/DC on stage TOGETHER

[GlensNumberOne]

goin to see them in febuary. cant fucking wait!

[romeokid69]

No offense, but if you CANT sing Bon's range?????? DON'T!!!!!!! Pretty simple reasoning, I think. Otherwise, this version is really awesome.

[eringobones]

Cead Míle Failte!

[MultiThefilms]

yeeeeeeeeessssssss¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡­¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[TheBebop51]

I should listen to this band more often.

*Seal of Approval*

[three54ridestore]

yes yes yes

[IMandelbaum]

The Murphys covering AC/DC? I think I just came.

[concretedemon777]

Gotta love this band!

[SuperEsshole]

ppl stop bithcing about irish pride, ive seen tougher guys then them

[twalsh1]

@SuperEsshole

Yeah when ???

[BuildinWings]

@SuperEsshole Nobody's "bitching" about Irish Pride. You're just a tool.

[sAUCERKAT01011]

Fucking brilliant!

[pieceofcake2008]

As a Scot, it's compulsory to like bagpipes.

[ufcfan998]

i like acdc better on this one but tis a close second for me

[texan131396]

Stayed true to the original while killin it. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this song two middle fingers and a pint of Guinness.

[stephendeese]

@texan131396

Well said!!

[poopy729]

Good cover. 

[DutchHellraiser1]

25 dicksuckers are'nt ready for the top

[beschken]

25 dick suckers

[ajuka69]

my 2 fav bands ac/dc and dropkick murphys

[salmons78]

class ! almost sound like bon !

[themrchimpie]

@MrRocknut: if you want to be regarded as Irish you are supposed to cheerish Irish traditions and neither baseball nor american football are part of the Irish culture.

[ElmondoDeGracias]

Sick but nothing compared to AC/DC

[themrchimpie]

these guys are always like "look at me, I'm Irish!" and then they follow those american sports like baseball and superbowl while real Irish people are into football or rugby.

[MrBlonde1703]

@themrchimpie I could be wrong, but aren't these guys Irish-American? I'm pretty sure they're from Boston.

[MDProgger]

@MrBlonde1703 Indeed.

[MrRocknut]

@themrchimpie Your point? Alot of people are not fans of rugby. and superbowl is not a sport its an event.

[davebruno81]

@themrchimpie 

[Gravelgutband]

@themrchimpie their a punk rock band with Irish influences and theyre boston sports fans, big deal!

[Hellas14w88]

Greetings from Hellas mates

[MetalJassim]

Nice one...

[zorodude77]

I love that the one guy always wears a kilt.

Awesome cover, almost as good as original.

[FATBOY692011]

Bloody good cover of a classic, better than Motorheads version, sorry Lemmy.

[Joni2047]

nice one

[jruoff1]

AC/DC is better......

[solzinhabh00]

the singer is very handsome

[XXMatter4454XX]

This was sick live

[SanDiegoBabyBuddha]

What is that picture with the DKM men with Coors beer??? WTF!

[nataliakripkepotter]

Nice cover, but AC/DC is AC/DC, Bon Scott is Bon Scott.

[jazzmasterjesus]

@nataliakripkepotter that is a true say. I gave you thumbs up before he even started singing.

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[zoey1234ify]

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

[JohnyDarthVader]

i'm brazilian and i'm listening to a song made by scottish brothers in a australian band covered by some irish dudes. thats funny :)

[pbalduino]

@JohnyDarthVader globalization =)

[brazzersdakikeladam]

Better than the original ac/dc song. Great band!

Respect from Turkey...

[TheDLMprojecT]

@brazzersdakikeladam its not better than ACDC's version

[brazzersdakikeladam]

@TheDLMprojecT nice comeback...

[2000chas]

@brazzersdakikeladam nowhere near as good as DC

[acdcbug2012]

@brazzersdakikeladam no way in hell, nothing tops ac/dc's version. this dude cant even sing, he yells

[AingealDubh]

@acdcbug2012 I like DKM and ACDC...but Bon Scott must be whirling in his grave

[zoey1234ify]

awsome song mike barr is great

[SuperAngrymunchkin]

Good cover, and I'm a die-hard AC/DC fan who generally doesn't like covers, because they mostly suck.

[hellobeats]

Nice Cover!!

[AliciaTownshend]

Well, this girl likes the cover better than the original!

[DropKickPipples]

there is no better way then to end your show with this song. They did an awsome job! LOVE YOU DKM

[OBEYoooGIANT]

its easy to fuck up a cover, hard to do a good job like this

[grahalachl]

AC/DC for the win And also Dropkick Murphys

[bilen7]

Better version than the original!

[liudiz]

@bilen7

your post made Jesus cry :(

[bilen7]

@liudiz Good.

[keithelstone]

erstes photo vom konzert in erfurt? :D

[dandemon1989]

DKM FUCKING RULE

[01vermonter]

what a great twist on an already great song!

[94seppl]

keine band kanns besser spielen als AC/DC... also lasst es lieber bleiben AC/DC zo covern

[Monkeyfurshur]

you hear this shit from guitarlord0001? Hey, asshole, no one's trying to. they're just putting their spin on it. it still kicks ass, it still rocks, and you're a fag!

[xxleandraxx1]

Irish fuckin pride!!!

[Monkeyfurshur]

@xxleandraxx1 YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!

[amacdonald27]

@xxleandraxx1 they're from boston

[sparkybdj]

F*UCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fbvrc]

Never pick a fight in an Irish bar cuz chances are you'll be facing these badasses :D LONG LIVE DROPKICK MURPHYS :D

[staartje]

I'm a big AC/DC and Dropkick Murphys fan,, and the first time i saw Dropkick Murphy's live they played this cover of AC/DC. My heart stopped beating and I was in heaven.

I've seen Dropkick Murphys 5 times now and none of them were so good as the first time I saw them.

[MeinRhein1]

Great cover! Has a punk groove to it but still stays true to the original!

Also, using the Scottish Highland Pipes instead of the Irish Pipes was a good choice, as the former have a louder, more penetrating sound than the latter, which fits better to Rock Music ( AC/DC also used Scottish Highland Pipes on the record). It would be interesting though to hear the song played with Irish Pipes!

[guitarlord0001]

THIS IS HORRIBLE! NO ONE CAN LIVE UP TO AC/DC OR BON SCOTT!!!

[beautifulsarah100]

@ussenterprisenxo1 Rock on dudes! You inspire us!

[okusername1]

@ussenterprisenxo1 you guys fuckin rock

[odordawg]

This is the first thing I've ever heard by the Dropkick Murphys and this was the first AC-DC song I ever heard back in the 70's...I am now a fan of the Dropkick Murphys. Long live Bon Scott!!!

[Rickje91]

Great version.

[ucanify]

I was listening to another cover of this song, then, when I saw this in the suggestions, I thought. FRIK YEAH

[ScottCful]

magnificent cover

[saviolap]

I even prefer this version than the original!

[HighlanderBW]

I love Bon Scott and I am pretty sure he likes this song - it is just fuckin Rockn Roll and thats it

[EcllipsE2510]

@HighlanderBW Im sure hes listening to this song on the highway to hell...

[pappaprime518]

19 ppl have no taste in music n are yankees fans

[pappaprime518]

AYE NOW THATS FUCKIN MUSIC!

[Roccthepanther]

way to ruin bon's song assholes. boston blows.

[TheNightseagull]

This VERY good.....and it's not an easy one......

it's almost...almost...as good as the original.....

but if I was in a car...and this came on.....

better than the original.....

but I'd have to be in one hot car...........

[pissenisse130]

how can you just listening to this piece off crap?:S

[pissenisse130]

i dont like it at all!! just listen to hes voice he cant sing this song! Dont trash a ac/dc song!!!

[kiowan87]

I was born listening to this song

\m/(>.<)\m/

[m3l0wn4g3]

Yay saw them live at Festival des Artefacts in france yesterday! :D

[dragonfury17]

Before you slam Dropkick Murphy's cover, go look at Celine Dion's cover of "You Shook Me All Night Long"

[ltsandes]

@dragonfury17 damned you, you shouldn't mention that man! ppl ears will bleed and someone might be driven mad listening to that shit! i just came out of the sanatorium, being treated for schizo, because of uncontrollable laughter followed by manic rage to kill Mrs Dion followed by catatonia and again from the beginning.

[MrBrian0081]

I'm sorry, but how does this vid have dislikes? It's a great group covering a great song by a great group. I thought music was supposed to unify the world.

[rhinocerous98]

This is dropkick murphy they put thier own spin on stuff and I love it

[chairjockey1]

Are you a Headbanger?  Welcome:)

[Mandolorian11177]

You can't compare to the original obviously, but still good : )

[Fairylikegirl]

@WYCCamper sure sure , but i think dropkick murphys did a good job :]

[Fairylikegirl]

omg ich liebe es :D

[airsoftrules987]

@Fairylikegirl ich liebe dich und dad lied

[Fairylikegirl]

@airsoftrules987 woooos xD?

[airsoftrules987]

@Fairylikegirl im nicht allzu gut deutsch nur zu lurnen

[Fairylikegirl]

@airsoftrules987 oh ok xD you said that you love me xD

[airsoftrules987]

@Fairylikegirl oh....lol

[Fairylikegirl]

@airsoftrules987 xDD

[kovacevits1]

the music is better on this cover but the voice of bon scott cant be compared.scott has an original rocker voice.

[Collorkiller]

It´s A FUCKING GREAT SONG, I "discover today at morning the band dropkick murphys! And I Never see this cover before! and I love ac/dc! It´s Fucking great Music played and writed by GREAT musicians! and BIGROCKERS!

[ghostrider88z750]

this is motorhead cover!

[bluesboy25000]

@ghostrider88z750 Pendejo this is an AC/DC cover. Motorhead covered it

[plalelal]

@ghostrider88z750 This is an AC/DC cover. This is better than motorheads version, and I like MH!

[brycer72]

r the dms gay

[xptwillie]

I suspect that Bon Scott, epic drinker that he was, would approve of someone named Al Barr covering this song.

[Jamesgetscrunk]

And then the murphys looked at ac/dc and said "This is how its fucking done"

[wizzerd229]

at first, i though "hmm, this might be not that good" but then i remembered that this band always combines bagpipes and rock, so then i thought it would be good, i was not dissapointed

[kierstenlynnee]

@wizzerd229 Haven't you ever heard the original? It has bagpipes.

[wizzerd229]

@kierstenlynnee Yeah, i have heard it. I was stating that because of the fact that DM combines rock and bagpipes, they were a perfect choice to cover this classic ACDC song. Rock On

[kzlarry]

@wizzerd229 Good Call! On listened cuz of your post!

[PTKhimself]

@wizzerd229 AC/DC did this song with bagpipes too.

[tactical2bagpipes]

@wizzerd229 Hey Einstein The original version by AC/DC features bagpipes as well.

[wizzerd229]

@tactical2bagpipes I know that, and that is why i knew DM would be perfect to cover this song, did you know that Acca Dacca had to tune their instruments to the bagpipes and because of that it is very hard to play to that song

[voodoobrown1]

Great Cover!!



[GrazaShaw]

Best cover i've ever heard!! As good as the original! I love both bands!! Rock and f*ucking roll!

[edavenport93]

Great cover, I love the Murphys, ANd I like this version better than the original.

[WtchHunter24]

fuckin ace cover \m/

[greenpatootie]

LOVE this. Please come to Traverse City Michigan. Free place to stay, lots of microbrews and cultural bullshit. Please rock our world.

[lamerbill]

@greenpatootie

well HUH!!!!

havent seen them even once in san francisco in 6 years i was here

michigan got loads before during shamrock fest and warped

over in Bay Area its all bieber and rap shit. And rap mosh blows!!! Everyone is probably just too gansta to be my friends AWWW... :P

FUCK MICHIGAN COME TO SAN FRANCISCO!!!!! XD

btw we have an authentic irish pub serving actual imported guiness, not sewer water. Also, the weather blows :)

[BaneOfLannister]

Loves me some Dropkick, but this just isn't good boys. I mean the music is fantastic as usual, but nobody sings like Bon Scott. Good try though.

[Ricco5thhorseman]

it´s dirty R´n´R and I bloody fuckin´ like it!

bagpipe sounds hellish awesome!

[69mulley]

just shear class we are the best at everything us IRISH

[gringochris]

Kickass bagpipe solo.

[bullyboy1863]

this is a pretty awesome cover

[demonikfunk]

haha thats true most of there stuff is a cover

[abaachii0keh]

anyone see his throat go weird on 2:22? anyway, FUCK YEA LOVE DKM!

[redmondgiant]

Generally good, the voice is obviously the weak part.

Look up The Nasty Habits cover of this if you want to hear a better version.

[HulkWhenAngry]

@redmondgiant if u think these vocals are bad, u should listen to motorheads version..

[zx10rgta]

give me a fuckin break----what a load of shit.

[TheLegendaryALEXY]

I don't like this.

[Galooper67]

Best wishes from Germany. Super Band. Really Cool. It´s rock.

[HighlanderBW]

@Galooper67

With this song I grew up, actually my first AC / DC Album and I was 8 years old

DKM did a great job covering this song - I pretty sure even Bon Scott rock in Hell to their songs

Björn - also from Germany but likes the Irish and Scots very much

[Maxtaxifromhell]

Best cover of any ACaDaCa song, ever!!

[xdlolvitunpelle]

arent they from boston , atleast they sing a lot about boston and stuff ....

[0verdrive177]

awesome cover

[mra2z]

It is a long way.

[iplaydrums18]

sick

[Deltidsharmonisk]

No one can play this riff like Malcolm. It's actually hard to play it the way he does.

[Syze1]

@Deltidsharmonisk Have to disagree. Malcolm Young doesn't do anything technically different or difficult.....he just does it brilliantly simple.

[lilblupixie]

That was awesome !!!!!!!

[ManFromMelbourne]

For those that aren`t familiar with punk, these guys, the dropkick murphys, are one of the better punk bands of today. In the past they`ve done covers of TNT and Dirty Deeds live. Usually when they tour Australia they do a cover of Dirty Deeds.

[giantsquidstudio]

Awesome cover!

[trascher3]

Really Fuckin good

[Rockervalera]

for those about to ACDC, we salute you!

[bonscottboy]

the singer sounds gruesome

[oswing]

Scottish power!! bagpipes not as good as the rest, but... blowminding! excellent.

[bedrichovak]

@oswing Aren't they from ireland?? :-D

[sosopath]

@bedrichovak they are from boston long live southie and the irish

[stewo1st]

Thats just not from Dropkick Murphys, you all could know the movie where its the maintitle, but still - its good. and those murphys have had maybe ther long way and still the top's not reached yet, c ya

[MrHulutiere]

wow one of the best covers of acdc

[Jasutin1987]

I love AC/DC!! And I've heard some really bad covers, but this is just amazing!! I'm in shock! I love that fact they kinda put their own flavor to it, it's awesome!!

[thakagan]

JUST WOOOW!...IMPRESSIVE AND HARD AS A NAIL TO EAR!

[Senj1n]

the sound engineer should be fired for mixing this song so badly.. lead vocal toooooo loud

[UWNKRS]

Dropkickass!

[tuturuturu1]

dude amazing cover as ArtisticTreasures said im a hardcore fan of ac dc specially of Bon Scott's era and I loved this cover good job guys :D
