  • Regardless of who he was and what he did, this is a brilliant tune to a now Aussie legend

    ....

  • press f 13 to skip ads ;)

  • well he deffinately had a more interesting life than you spending your whole life a a website where you don't even show your name dumbass, you respect our history or go bag someone elses in another country

  • stop teasing ned kelly

    with you stupid songs he was a legend not like you he was the coolest person i've seen

  • Comment removed

  • @goyougoothing get fucked "mate" he was a murderer yes but he had Aussie ingenuity and spirit so you can kindly go fuck yourself you UN-AUSTRALIAN prick!

  • it blow my head off

  • that was a awesome song i heard it like 100 times

  • He was a BAD BASTARD. No 2 ways about it. If you lived back in his time you'd be shitting yourself until he got caught. Cause he might've killed you next. Don't be a Romantic fool.

  • @IanKWatts shut up buddy you obviouslt don't know your history, i am a historian in the university of western sydney doing a course on ned and everything you said is historically incorrect

  • @screamingeagle55 you didn't live back there then, so what would you know either? History books are written by the winners. In this case the government was the obvious winner. Anyway what can you do about it. It's time that has gone. Don't believe all you read in books my friend. I could also say I was someone important (in my own lunch hour) too. It's a stupid argument you profess. Have nice life

  • talk shit about ned? go on do it we cant see what he went throw so we cant judge such is life. (my oath)

  • BS - the guy whom I am supposedly related to was a thief and a murderer. There is no way Ned should be considered a hero or representative of Australian culture. A thug, cop killer and dirty good for nothing thief. He was hung like we should do to people today of a similar ilk.

  • Like any good outlaw there are aspects of Ned which are both positive and negative, contradictory human qualities at times. I feel that it's this conflict of emotions that make him so enthralling to Australians and their sense of identity, as with many events from our history we find ourselves both proud and sometimes ashamed. And it's this inner conflict that gives us our identity as a nation, no blind patriotism, no self pity. We are what we are, Australian.

  • This and working class man... The true Australian anthems

  • this song is soo good. ned was a good man he changed australia like no one will ever know

  • Only ever heard this song by cause of being drunk on youtube and I have to thank that drunken night

  • aginst the grain- top album truely even til this day it still sits at the top of of my all time favourite bands ive even named my race horse after em-REDGUM-and my other horse-LOOK OUT- truely a top fuckin band , what i love is the lyrics the instrumental and fuckin realism they brought the music world -john schueman true guenius cheers i still wish their was more music like these days and to think im only 30............................

  • such is life....

  • bloody youtube!!

  • I don't mean to be disrespect the Kelly legend, can someone be objective for a minute and please tell me why we glorify ned kelly. Yes, his story was melodramatic, but at the end of the day, he killed 3 cops and therefore got what was coming to him.

  • @chewie211171

    3 corrupt cops our police system back in the day was formed from 12 of the best behaved convicts lookslike nothings changed if only things were different these days .............................

  • EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT NED KELLY LAST REQUEST TO BE BURIED WITH FAMILY FULFILLED 131 YEARS AFTER REQUEST

    (and thats pretty fast for any government lol)

  • so is ned kelly is like here in america jesse james

  • my mum use to tell me he was just a murdering criminal when i was growin up to this day she still wont admit he just stood up for him and his family the poor bugger was just sick of corrupt cops sounds a bit familier with these days (cough*Karl'o'Callahan*cough)

  • i agree too

  • I recently received an email from youtube stating I can now make money from my videos by allowing them to place advertising at the beginning. NO WAY!! I hate that and I wont put that on you, I like to be able to listen to my selections straight away and not have to put up with intrusive advertisements. Thanks for watching and I really enjoy reading the comments :D

  • @fingerpickerbeginner i'd tell em where to go too

  • @fingerpickerbeginner guess what mate. they're still doing it. An add just popped up. youtube scum.

  • @fingerpickerbeginner How come this video started with an advert then?

  • @fingerpickerbeginner Well, I just got an ad at the start of this video

  • @TheShadowStunt yea i know, it seems youtube can do as they please. they sent me an email saying i could make money from displaying advertising at the start of my video, it appears they are not giving a f**k that i told them not to put it there

  • @superkenalmighty, totally agree with everything you say, just ran out of characters! Great song, I love teaching with mnemonics, this song has engraved the date (1878) into my mind at least.

  • @superkenalmighty I've looked awful hard at the story, I've seen no convincing or credible evidence that the man dogged anybody. For that matter I cannot see any benefit/incentive that would have been offered him for such treason, he was being nursed back to health in order to be hung, why would he turn dog? Sherrett was a dog, I can't imagine there were two. Apart from that, as I said before, dead people have no need for timepieces, if he needed a watch and someone else didn't good on 'im.

  • bull shit you queer fuck get ya finger out of your ass & read the book fool!!!!!!!!READ THE TRUE STORY IDIOT!!!!

  • Social conditions and poverty contributed to the acts committed by the Kelly gang. Redgum points this out in the first verse, his father dead, mother in jail with 2 kids 'still on the breast'.  Who was going to support the family and how? Later in this track, they talk about the letter Ned Kelly wrote "about Stringybark creek' where he points out that he didn't want to 'kill Kennedy, or that copper Lonergan/he alone could have saved his life/by throwing down his gun'.

  • @ozfash Lot more complex than that, the social conditions at the time represented an attempt to transplant UK values/class systems into Australia. The so-called Squattocracy, basically people given enormous amounts of land and benefits based upon corruption (or what would be so viewed today), were riding roughshod over ordinary people, the police were in the pockets of those "helping" them. The Eureka Stockade, the 8-Hour Day & the Shearer's strikes demonstrate the problem.

  • ned was driven to crime by a another gang callled LAW.

  • @59blaziken Yeah brother  ain't the the truth

  • love this song!!!

  • i had a teacher whos said ned kelly was a terrbile cold hearted killer, to this day i fight for ned's name i true australian hero

  • @Kale27376  I feel so for the Kelly family i have Ned tattooed on my body

  • @Kale27376 He was a violent urdering thief, end of.

  • @spackhollogay mate if you even knew a thing about ned you'd know that the coppers he killed shot first. Do some research before you say shit you fuckin knob

  • @Kale27376 Right so shooting them in the balls and leaving them to die was totally justified then?

  • @spackhollogay he didnt shoot them in the balls. Most of the cops where killed instantly. The whole stringbark creek incident was a mistake. Stop trying to act lke you know what your talking about

  • @spackhollogay i will see u in hell

    

  • the reason I love the Kelly Gang so much is that they stood up for what they believed in and never backed down.. the entire commonwealth were after them and no one spoke, i have a few kelly tatts, yeah they killed cops but if they didnt the cops would have killed them.... SUCH IS LIFE

  • @aarontsmall1975 you mean VIC police, do you not?

  • @harkeill Nope, I mean QLD Police, but they're all much of a muchness in my eyes. They target people from certain areas, from their early teens. Their response to being hassled is predictable, thus the shit starts. Once the merry go round starts it is bloody hard to get off it. I don't rate Kelly for the things he did, at least he stood and fought, but what put him in that position to start with. @superkenalmighty Dead men have bugger all use for watches, I don't see your point? A Dog? How so?

  • @aarontsmall1975 Its easy to get off the merry go round mate. DO NOT COMMIT CRIME. Do not put yourself in the position where it may be perceived that you are committing crime. Do not associate with those who commit crime. Simple.

  • @comeonwillis I've done so, it ain't that easy. Anger, resentment, etc. still colour my views on a lot of things, I'm simply lucky enough to have lived long enough not to let that drive my responses. Shit was different when I was younger, people who set out to fuck with me, got fucked with in response. I'm just lucky I'm 'cleverer than the average bear', or I'd be on parole/bail with a set address, reporting conditions & fuck all chance of avoiding associating with people I used to know.

  • @aarontsmall1975 You're obviously unfamiliar with the history of Ned Kelly. This explains a lot of your ignorant bullshit. Ned Kelly stole a man's watch after he killed him. Taking a life and shrugging your shoulders at it is pretty fucking remorseless, so he was a remorseless killer. My point. He also dogged out friends after he was caught. His history is littered with him stealing shit from friends and ratting people out when he was caught. Obviously a top bloke. You pick your heroes well.

  • @superkenalmighty wat make you the authority on ned kellys life. unless u were their wen the shit went down its all hear say.

  • i wish this sort of music was still popular in my generation. love the rythem this song has

  • That bloody jail is an evil prick of a place... Cold, black rock, they were hooded the whole time.

  • Top song, top band.

    

  • A man forced into so many crimes. A victim of circumstance as it were. RIP Ned, you are truely an Aussie icon.

  • Why is this cold-blooded murderer even glorified as a hero? For murder, monsters like him deserve to be treated harshly by any authority.

  • @superkenalmighty fuck off wanker

  • @superkenalmighty. go away, your fucking bullshit isn't wanted here

  • @superkenalmighty So should narcissistic wankers like you.

  • @aarontsmall1975 I'm not a murderer...yes, admittedly I do wank...however, I am not necessarily narcissistic.

  • @superkenalmighty Narcissism? With your moniker you think there is any real question as to the clinical categorisation? As a poor bloody kid who was persecuted, hassled and driven to respond by QLD Police in the 80-90's (so were my mates), I understand only too well what drove this to its ultimate conclusion (I jumped bail for a decade in the end - till acquitted). When pigs stop acting like scum (or protecting those who do), maybe you'll see some respect for the 'farce' from 'ordinary' aussies

  • @aarontsmall1975 Ned Kelly stole a man's watch after he killed him, figuring that it would be more useful to him than a dead man. He was a remorseless killer. When you see Ned Kelly as a thief, murderer and a piece of crap that ratted out his own friends, maybe you'll see that your stance is a farcical piece of crap. :P

  • @superkenalmighty i am new to ned kelly... so what are you saying? he was just a criminal?

  • 40k mate :)

  • wow flash back to seeing redgum at the ladybay ..........wicked band

  • now they found your bones rip mate, what a legendary song, best aussie anthem ever

  • @feral46 Now they can finally give Ned a proper funeral...RIP Ned

  • @MrBlue1303 Once they find where they took his bloody head

  • At the shoot out at Glen-Rowan Inn were he wore his armor he didnt even kill 1 police officer he only shoot Superintendent Hare in his hand injuring him they did not kill any police officers at the shoot out........sad really i wish they killed the lot of those Mungrel POLICE!!!

  • EDWARD JAMES KELLY an AUSSIE HERO fucked in the arse by fucking cops i been to lock up its not fun .. and if those fuckwits were not chasing kelly for nothing then they wouldnt have been shot it was self defence and fitzgerald was trying to molest kellys sister if it were me i would have castrated the bastard with a rusty screwdriver

  • thanks to all my Aussie friends for turning me onto Aussie music love this one

  • Love him, he is my hero and i have him on my wall, and i praise him everyday. he is god..

  • When you look into the life of Kelly you will see he was just a Crim that got what he deserved.

  • @dalarrikin OI CUNT U DESERVE A BRUTAL BEATING ONE DAY NED WILL GIVE U ONE U FUCKIN DISRESPECTFUL PIG YOUR PROBBALY A COP U DISCRACE! .

  • @fingerpickerbeginner 41,313 :-)

  • 102:0 ftw hahaha

  • The Ned Kelly story is still happening today.. Its just happening in different ways.. I would be the first man to put my hand up to die for this country and i wouldnt blink an eye in doing so!! Because to me there is nothing in this world more important then family!! If you grew up in a shit family then strive to be better and give yours what u never had!! Ned did everything he could to be a upstanding member in society but they created the criminal and at least his story now gets herd!!

  • @alwaysworking100 such is life.....cops are still harrassing the wrong ppl family is all u have

  • If the small number of decent honest police in QLD dont start standing up to other bullying police (who they themselfs were most likely bullied at school!!) things in this great state of ours!! will never get any better!! And the good majority of people who join the force with all good intentions of serveing and protecting and just basiclly giving a fuc about others.. are constantly leaving or resigning after realizing that everything they pretend to stand for is only a smoke screen

  • The fact is the police dont have much of a screening process.. If you want in ul get in because their numbers are low.. This is most likely because their pay conditions and benifits are shit.. People have lost respect for the police in QLD because there is 2 many of them getting away with doing what they want!! and this is taught to them by the older generation who have not phased out!! A mate of mine told me on adverage melboune has 6 police per suburb. 6! Im not sure what brisbanes stats r?

  • @alwaysworking100 yea bro im from QLD pigs are crazy hear i dont no anyone in QLD that respects cops or pigs as there called hear there all up them self slack as fuck and they hate teens and only book us and focus on us and black people were i live its fucking bull shit LAST WEEK I GET BOOKED NOT WEARING A HELMET SO I WAS LIKE OK MY BAD I DON'T RELAY CARE ITS LIKE 50$ I WAS NICE AND THAY WERE RUDE AS FUCK THINKING I WAS HIDING DRUGS THEN LIKE 10 PEOLPE RIDE PAST ME NO HELMET SHE DIDN'T DO SHITT

  • @deano509 thats why u dont stop for the cops keep on riding

  • @UxGOTxPUNKED yea i mostly do because i smoke pot lol and im all ways blazed as fuck but there was like 10 people watching so i couldn't and im on probation but i all ways do now 150$ later

  • @alwaysworking100 so i went the fuck of a the lesbo pig bitch told hear that was bull shit and thay were skumm freedom of speech she could not do shitt dike bitch

  • you need to teach officers how to controll people and talk them down!!! Its called communication skills!!! not inflick pain and suffering hand cuffs capsicum spray bags over heads!! because they having a bad day!! Now tassers!! Fuc me how many will die now before they realize we not the fit country any more!! lol what a joke!!

  • People from other states acturely think we are slow!! And we are slow!! NSW and Vic police are happy to go home after a shift and see their familys full stop!! They are happy not to have been stabbed or shot at!!! They dont go around settleing personal vandeters and looking for traffic infringements!!! Ive had a QLD police office brag to me!! about beeting a man in custordy and he was laughing about it while telling me!! I was disgusted because he said it felt good to punch him..

  • well its the same old question isnt it!! who polices the police?? There is good and bad in every fucking kind weather it be race creed or what you do for a living.. QLD police have never had a serious corruption investigation as long as I can remember!! QLD police want to pretend that they dont have corruption within the ranks that go as high as parliment. The Vic and NSW police have been trying to weed our there inner corruption for years and they are slowly succeeding. Here in QLD !!

  • @alwaysworking100 Can you say "Fitzgerald inquiry"

  • hey typhoon 355. Walk a mile in my shoes mate and you will see what I mean. I am not complaining about what I have to deal with I just wish the average joe had half an understanding of what Police do have to deal with on an average day. When we get spat on or bitten we have to wait 3 months for the test results to come back before we can have physical contact with our children and partners. So before you say we are revenue raisng think about what it would be like with out Police.

  • your a discrace to australia cops should be chill every cop ive met is a fuck wit

  • @DACHRONIKDISTRIBUTER that must because of the way you treated them, you treat them with respect and you will get respect in return

  • This is a reworking of Trevor Lucas' song, "The Ballad of Ned Kelly", isn't it? Please don't jump on me if I'm wrong, folks; I'm Canadian.

  • Best karaoke song ever!

  • I wish Australia was still Australia, its not very good here anymore, especially when you live in multicultural fairyland bullshit that doesnt work like Sydney for instance. Lets try importing more Aussies back from london!

  • @angie4josh hey mate the problem is everyone wants australians to breed ok so we can have a booming economy right. Baby bonus and all that jazz money for having a child. The problem is easily solved stop letting our country get flooded from the north and make immagration for european countries allot bloody easier!!!. Sweeden Norway Ireland hell germany !! i dont care bring the busses of them ladies over here and watch Aus breed. Cause atm i dont see any imagrint girls worth throwing a leg ovr!

  • Poor Ned!

  • Miss This Classic Song.

  • yeah up with aussies!!!

  • What a legendary australian! those cops who hung him should be hung!

  • IM an aussie and ned kelly is an AUSTRALIAN HERO......PEACE TO THE OUTLAW OF OUTLAWS.

  • My mum has totally gotten me right into this song! good work xD

  • The real scum are Australian policemen the question is were they always control freaks or did that come later. where does common sense come into it?

  • @Shoshi3 hey mate i am an australian copper, please don't catergorise me in that group. 99% of cops do the right thing, only a few members stuff it for the rest of us

  • @chowvez

    Might agree with you there mate, if you lower the percentage to maybe around 80%?

  • @chowvez I feel sorry for you with the bullshit you have to tolerate these days, I wouldn't be a cop for all the money in the world, the law is too lenient and you spend most days trying to enforce unenforcable laws and up to your neck in paperwork or sitting in a court room. What is the world coming to??

  • @chowvez ... 99% off coppers do the right thing? like when they pulled in bike cops from up in syd down to the bega and started booking (revenue raising) everyone just to make some money. blokes getting booked for a lose anglegrinder in the back of the ute? my brother lost his licence because he had a P plate on the front but the one on the back had fallen off ?. plenty speed past doing over 100. laws says that you should have your lights on if you wish to exceed the speed limit. 99% are clean?

  • @typhoon355 not in qld there a shocker fuck pigs

  • @deano509 your a fucking moron mate, QLD = best police. They've helped me. And hell i was caught underage drinking, with a bunch of girls, they pour it out let us go. or STAY. didn't give us a ticket at all. i was 16. Get your facts straight, and do the right thing, THE WAY YOU TALK tells me your a 15year old fucking moron. Get a life you skinny prick. id pick on you to. . who the fuck wouldnt? now grow up

  • Comment removed

  • @deano509 hahahah, stupid preteen boy. this should be a fun story to share at the pubs. " stupid enraged boy reckons our coppas pick on ' im"

  • @biggestFFXIfan wtf im 27 and i fucking hate cops you got a problem suck my balls cunt i hope you get shot in the face

  • @TheSystemRevolution yes yes ur spot on brother.

  • redgum is off the hook

  • @greatsoutherncowboy1 Hey. Thanks a lot :D. It's really cool that you know so much about him, and hey, who wouldn't like a tattoo like that?! It's really cool!

    I know about that, and I think it's kind of wierd for someone to critisize someone who fought for what he believed in >/.

    (Down under ... it fits very well because if a Swed would dig a hole straight through the earth, he'd end up in Australia :P)

  • My fave Redgum song!

  • Good old Redgum! Thanks for posting this, it takes me back to my gig going days! Saw Redgum about five times in both Melbourne and Sydney. They were great!
