@@GreatPolishWingedHussars Again. Just because something thematically fits a song, doesn't mean it will sound good. That's like saying a song about war would sound better if it had a bunch of gun fire and the screams of dying people replacing a normal instrument.
Sadly, us Irish were 'checking under the car ' long before Thatcher's time! Maybe her Tories should have been more careful with the complimentary hotel soap though ....
@Marc Phelan Well the comment above by ZL2 is in quotes so assumed it was metaphorical if a tad inaccurate in a few ways, I doubt Thatcher would ever have been looking under her car eg, her security may have. As alluded to it wasnt a car ended up the significant security risk but booking a hotel with most of the government party present. Seriously slack by security and intelligence services.
Whatever Thatcher did your 2 communities did to each other 10x, you butchered thousands of innocent men women and children over nothing. There's no excuse for blowing up a car with a 3 year old inside is there? Justify that.
@@lotusturbochallenge1652 as an American sailor, of Welsh decent, I disagree.... if you have given your word, you stand by it, we offered our service as soldiers to the Norman invaders...they gave us a coat of arms, nobility, and a name for our combat skills...we followed the English King's orders for 400 years...the wives of my family are Scottish and Irish, because we acquired mates throughout conquest....I am sorry that the English fucked you so badly but I hope that you will forgive the Celtic warriors who followed their orders...our choice was death or mercenary work... we chose the second

When I'm down or feeling sorry for myself I listen to Irish folk music and I instantly feel like there's nothing that's gonna stop me.This song has been in my repeat since my dad is fighting for his life in a hospital.We fight on.Fuck Covid
Hope your dad is sitting fit and well m8. Yeah! It has the same effect on me too. Nothing like a good Irish folk song to get the heart pumping. Take care my friend,. 🍀🇮🇪🏴

The chain actually makes this song more intense and enjoyable I love the song and all the various versions I've heard, but this one the chain gives it a unique twist that is nice.
The chain is perfect to show the English inslavement of Ireland 🇮🇪 and how the protestants starfed the catholics out of there own lands. GOD BLESS THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. (AN Irish American Marine )
I'm not personally a fan of the chain. It's too overbearing, and doesn't mesh well with the music. It is certainly unique, though. My first time seeing one used as an instrument.
Love the music these guys right and sing.... Fantastic band... Excellent version of this track,,,,,, history in Ireland through folk music is just brilliant😉👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧👌
Big guy: May I play the chain, please? The band: no way dude, that´s silly and you don´t even how to play it. Big guy: (stands up and in a loud voice) I said I wanna play the f*cking chain! The band: ooooooh that chain? Sure man! Go on!

The sound engineer in me really wants to change the settings on the chain's compressor. It's a high pitched sound being used like a bass without being adjusted down in volume to compensate. Then again I could be an idiot and the issue is a combination of micing and no sound absorption on the walls. Or I could just be a idiot.
That's pretty cool. The Germans have been mercilessly oppressed under the boot of the "Anglosphere" and the paymaster class, so just as valid an outcry as a native irish.
@@victorvaughan2590 How? Last time I checked they weren't occupied for 800 years and have multiple genocides committed against them. In fact, the only time I remeber Germany being occupied was after they tried committing mass genocide themselves. Germany has never been 'oppressed'.
Honestly Irish and British need to bury the hatchet whether it means Irish independence or just accepting UK sovereignty. We need global European solidarity in the face of genocide.

The chain!

Was looking for this.
he's also playing the sunglasses. You may not hear it but without them the song won't be the same
He's delivering a helluva character tho
You havent lived until you have heard a chain solo
The hitting on the iron chains fits really well. The brave Irish struck the chains until they broke.
Did they really?
