Kaiser Chiefs With The Scots Guards - We Are The Angry Mob

From Jool's "Hootenanny" on New Years Eve(2007-8). It's the Scots Guards (not the Irish ones as I said originally - Thanks Rustysgb) that make this version special. The sound and vision is electrifying. For the symbolism alone (Defenders of the Empire accompanying "We are the Angry Mob"!!!) this deserves its own entry in the hall of fame...

Hey glad u liked the video, i am the bass drummer of the 1st battalion Scots Guards for this video, the 2 other lads are from the Regimental Band who are based in London !!!

[HarryStottle]

Nice bit of drumming squire. I have to ask though, didn't anyone from the regiment give a thought to the title of the song or consider the symbolism of having the Scots Guards playing along with it?

Don't get me wrong. Personally I was delighted. I'm just amazed that it was permitted...

[rustysgb]

Hi Harry glad you liked it, there is just one slight discrepency however. It's not the Irish Guards that are performing with the Kaiser Cheifs, its the Scots Guards.

[HarryStottle]

I'll have to check that, I'm sure I saw the Irish Guards on the credits... I'll get back to ya.

[HarryStottle]

Yup, you're right. I must have transposed it in my head. Fixing title now...

[HarryStottle]

Catch the second half (the "anthem") accompanied by the military symbolism of guardians of the British Empire. Is that cool or crazy?

[jamesrcooke]

so don't listen to the Scots Guards version 'tard

Hey, umm, I'm hopefully planning to join the Army when I'm older, and I want to join a Scottish Regiment (Probably the Royal Regiment of Scotland) because my entire family is Scottish, and it's full of history and full of great lads. But the thing is I was born and raised in London, and I have an English accent, also I want to be an officer, will any of this be a problem. Thanks :)

@vennom212 - heartening to see a decent apology on youtube.Good for you lad.It's not a weakness.Too often on youtube comments deteriorate into mindless, ill-informed viciousness (ungrammatical to boot).As a pensioner I find that deeply depressing.Good to see musicians having fun - I'm sure the Guards appreciated the irony of playing with "an angry mob".Don't get too drunk too often -you don't want to throw away a good career (or liver) for one smack of the wrong guy.Good Luck.
