Dropkick Murphys really is such a good band, i feel like they don't get the credit or publicity they deserve. So glad they were in The Departed though, fit perfectly.
@@tedmihalca i told several ppl about how good they are. some agreed, some did not. Most hilarious thou was one dude that said "nah ... they hop on the folk rock train but they have nothing to do with ireland, i think they are typical sellouts and posers ..." xD wth some ppl are just too dull to be real - i started a short monologue about the great famine and irish settlers in the US and how they keep their roots and heritage alive but he didnt get it ...

Back in the 80’s when I was a kid I lived in a homeless shelter across from the building where this video was shot. It's on LongIsland, Massachusetts (Not NY). Closed down buildings and cemeteries, there's even a crematorium. The only building where they had space for us was in the one that housed people with contagious disease. It was terrifying as a child. However I do remember having an amazing view of the fireworks on the 4th of July, and for that moment everything seemed ok.
American_Atheist1776 might be difficult for a sexless incel like you to understand but out here in the real world people actually have partners that they have sex with and then they have kids. That includes members of rockbands.

This was a major issue in Canada until quite recently. Now we have something called Trauma Informed Practice and they actually make a bit of effort to keep families together.
I'm in love with Dropkick Murphys! I only started listening to them awhile back after my brother posted the Christmas video on FB and compared it to our family. haha
I was playing this at work and someone asked, "It's this the intro to Nitro Circus?" I had totally forgotten it was as I hadn't watched that show in the better part of a decade.
Love the Catholic imagery in their videos the weird thing about being an Irish Catholic, we're simply going to mass was a symbol of resistance, is even those that drift away and drift towards agnosticism the church still shapes the way we think and we tend to hold it and its symbols n reverence even if we don't really believe anymore
@XOmytubeXO I know how you feel. I was an irish DSS'R from the age of 13-18. and everything in the song rings true to me. I give serious credit to Dop Kick murphy's for addressing those of us who;ve been in that situation. It acutally inspires me to volunteer for those in similar situations. God Bless those with broken homes and broken heats..just know it can and will get better.
I couldn't remember the name of this band so I typed in "Irish sounding rock band that uses banjo" and I still couldn't find them. Luckily I remembered something about "Murphy" in the name.
Irish-American in this case, but they do try to keep up musical heritage traditions. A friend of mine from Ireland has pointed out that they've grown quite a following there, and nobody gives a shit that Americans are contributing goatloads to the world of Celt-punk
@rajlle I find it a shame that I only just discovered Dropkick Murphys after "The Departed," but that's sometimes how it goes. They've got some damn fine tunes, so who cares how people come to be fans?
why is everyone making a big deal about where theyre from? I never cared where any of the bands i like are from, if its good music it makes no difference.
A lot of recognition and love for bands is related to where they're from, AC/DC is a prime example, but also Iron Maiden from London, Metallica from San Fransisco or Motley Crue from LA
Actually it's about the impact of the NIGHTMARE epidemic of heroin/ painkillers on Massachusetts. For some reason, we're leading the nation in opiate ODs. Where I live it's especially bad. And the stuff keeps coming in unchecked. They do bimonthly drug sweeps where I am and nail 25-30 dealers at a time and 2 days later, 25 more step in to fill the gap. It's a horror show.
How's not to love this! That music, that drive, those lyrics! That's enough for me to get so pumped to take on Superman! (ok, not Superman, but at least Steven Seagal in an eating competition)

I love listening to the Dropkick Murphy's, you ought a make a music video of Russell Crowe in the movie Cinderella as Braddock the famous Irish boxer, it would be awesome!
The song that describes my childhood And my mom. Glad that I was put in a foster family, it's the best thing that could happen... At least if you live in Denmark that is.
dennis oxbøll Foster home yep I member kindergarten and then foster home no memories except the entrance,the lake,and then my memories start up again in 4th grade, must've been fuqed up stuff while there idwk.Mom dropped me off and picked me back up in time for 4h grade,now that's a messed up story for my teens to hear.
Hopefully it’s better in Denmark. In America, it’s set up as a for profit system. Most people are decent, but some are fucked beyond belief. It fucking sucks. Or sucked or whatever.
the Intro with the banjo is really awesome

Don't feel ashamed,i discovered them because this song is the intro for Nitro Circus.These guys are awesome.
Whether we're Irish or not, i think we can all agree this is a really good tune 🎶🎵
I'm from Massachusetts and I love this song
...you know what the song is about right
@aggudude624 haha! Right?
This song will always age beautifully with the band and there legendary music ❤❤❤
nitro circus couldn't pic a better song for their intro.... THE BEST
An Old Shoe remix of this song brought me to this MV.
Lord of the Weed ist sehr kool.
Love these guys!!!
Thought of this song given events of the last few days. Amazing that Massachusetts' social services are now a step UP from somewhere.
one of the best band ever!!!
Born and raised in Massachusetts. Gotta love it.
why is everyone making a big deal about where theyre from? I never cared where any of the bands i like are from, if its good music it makes no difference.
They are local heroes. Just how us Mainers love Stephen King...very capable and always a good time!
Clearly you're not from Boston or grew up in Boston so you have zero fahkin clue. Dropkick Murphys ARE Boston!!
Its simple story telling. Did you not understand the lyrics?
Then get down the road
A lot of recognition and love for bands is related to where they're from, AC/DC is a prime example, but also Iron Maiden from London, Metallica from San Fransisco or Motley Crue from LA
god one, if not the best, irish/american rock/folk band EVAR!
Very heartbreaking song. Very true.
Al Barr... You kick ass... Love The Bruisers! Respect from Portugal!
2020 and still listening this master piece
dropkick murphys...inspiring a whole new generation of american mics!
Not Irish but Scot-Irish and i still love Dropkick Murphys!
Im 100% irish and love these guys and you don't need to be Irish to love them. The more fans the merrier.
Since I listen to them I wanna live in Ireland but it is too expensive
Even in the summer Massachusetts looks cold.
