The Dubliners - Whiskey in the jar

Its weird listening to this after listening to the Thin Lizzy version and the Metallica version..

But theres something refreshing about it

You cant listen to Irish Folk music and be depressed afterwards.....Its impossible

Metallica's my favorite band and I agree. When I want to hear a louder (to me, roudier) version, I listen to Metallica's. When i'm listening more for the musical value of it all though, Thin Lizzy's and even this one is a little more enjoyable.. actually, on Pandora, I just heard some group called Darby O'Gill perform a version. and I gotta say it's the best of all I've heard. check that one out!

good on ya pal... hoping to go to brazil sometime soon. planning on doinig a world singing pubs crawl with my mates. stay tuned for a bunch of drunken Irish fools making a mess of themselves outside your local, mix it up with the samba and the cha cha

Everybody talks about the Metallica cover... but you should check out the one Thin Lizzy did on 1973 (just search here and you will find a nice black and white clip of it).
That was first Thin Lizzy hit on the charts and it's 99% the same as Metallica's one.
Just for information... I like both of the covers.

(Actually, this is also a cover, of course... who knows who was really the one who tried to love Molly ;-) )

terrible :D

this is rock and roll

This made me smile. I saw the one Matalica did- I love them both so much!

i like music like this very much. im from germany and i know those things with franconian or bavarian dialect...but from irish people...its just great...

I love this type of music, mainly because it was what American Bluegrass evolved from. Or that's what it seems like to me, with the fiddle, banjo, 'n all that.

i ain't irish, i ain't european, hell i ain't even westerner, but i love the irish folk music , rythms and specially that strange multi flute instrument! (stupid description i know!)
