I said it in my Facebook comment and I threw in the name of your finishing move too 😁x
Another Celtic punk band you might enjoy is Flogging Molly. "Drunken Lullabies", "Devil's dance floor", "Float", "What's left of the flag". So many good songs to choose from.
please dont call american bands celtic... please dont call anything celtic tbh.
@@WookieWarriorz It's what the genre of music is called. I guessing that he did make up the term. Also, the lead singer is from Dublin.
Love Flogging Molly. My faves are Salty Dog and Worst Day Since Yesterday. 🤘🤘
I was about to say the same thing.
Agree with Flogging Molly. Anything off the salty dog, float, or drunken lullabies album is fantastic.
My Irish dad always told this joke 'Why no Irish get offended by Irish jokes? (he'd yell) BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL TRUE!' and laugh his ass off and get another beer
The Pogues were the very first band to play a mixture of Irish Folk Music and Punk Rock back in 1982. In my opinion, they will always be in a category of their own and not part of a "Celtic Punk Trifecta". There were The Pogues, then there were hundreds of bands that were all influenced by them and came after. Just my two cents. RIP Shane MacGowan ☘️
I agree, but Boston has as much right to sea chanteys as any other town.
Dropkick Murphys are a staple here in Boston. Shipping up to Boston gets played at every major sporting event.
Flogging Molly!!! Another great punk band.. their frontman is from Dublin 🍀💚🇨🇮
“Kiss me, I’m sh!t faced” and “rose tattoo” are also very good. The real Mackenzie’s is another band to look in to.
Kiss me i'm shit faced was gonna be my wedding song.
Just add Dirty Glass and you've got the perfect triple play.
Rose Tattoo is my favorite
“Kiss me, I’m shitfaced” was our pregame song in college. As soon as everyone was singing it at the top of our lungs it was time to head to the bar or party
I love both. "Rose Tattoo" became the song I listened to obsessively while mourning my redheaded Irish wife when she passed suddenly at 39 years old.
"Going Out In Style" by Dropkick Murphys WILL be played at my wake.
You and me both!
if only you could get orr and lucic to show up too
@@jaewok5G
Mickey Ward and Shawn Thornton too.
Epic. Would have to a fly on the wall for that film shoot.
Yep!
@@boston7704 i always assumed shawn was just there and they filmed the video around him! XD
One of my favorite songs of theirs is 'Rose Tattoo.' The songs lyrics are basically a guy explaining the meaning of his tattoos. They have a line, 'This one's for the mighty sea, mischief, gold and piracy, this one's for the man who raised me taught me sacrifice and bravery.' As someone raised by a single father, that hits hard.
Rose Tattoo is their best.
Thats my wife n I's song for each other weve seen dropkicks and flogging molly easily 20+ times.
Rose Tattoo is my favorite. I have every one of their CDs.
I think it was about his grandfather. Also, agree it's their best song
They did a version with Bruce Springsteen to raise money for the Boston Marathon shooting. My kids loved that version when they were little.
It was also the opening credits song for the show “Rizzoli & Isles.”
I was going to say the only Dropkick Murphys song I'm really aware of is "Devil's Dance Floor," but then I realized that song is by Flogging Molly **hint hint**
"What's Left of the Flag" by Flogging Molly is far better then "Devil's Dance Floor". In fact they have 9 other songs that are way better then "Devil's Dance Floor"!!!
Check those other songs out!
I suggested What's left of the Flag!
Speaks to my soul!
Ohhhh hmmm 🧐
@@morrigankasa570 "Better" to a large extent is only a matter of opinion. Every massively popular band also has people who dislike it. Don't try to force your opinion on others. As that person said, that song speaks to her. It's dear to his or her heart for reasons we can't know.
However, I will remember your enthusiasm for Flogging Molly. I've been cut off from Celtic music for a long time, so I read these comments to get suggestions, then I search UA-cam for them and listen to the songs.
Great call! Love Flogging Molly!!
The “Rat” refers to an old music club called The Rathskeller. It was in a basement a block from Fenway Park on Commonwealth avenue. It smelled like piss, mold and stale beer. It was a tiny nothing spot and everybody wanted to play there. Think of CBGBs but smaller and grosser! Perfection
My first actual club gig in Boston was at the Rat. '89 or '90... The good old days.. 😂
Don’t forget Mitch and his voice microphone and Mr Butch outside.
@@seanmahoney2755 you obviously know it better than I do. Great input!
@ChrisD-hk1hq that’s so cool!
The Departed + The Dropkick Murphys = Perfection!
Dropkick Murphy's and The Pogues are both great. Fun, fast and hard.
The trifecta of Celtic punk. 😁
Shane McGowan RIP
The Tossers are underrated
I don’t think Dropkick is even in the same sport as the Pogues. Shane McGowan is considered by many to be one of the greatest songwriters/poets of the 20th century.
Gonna brag and say my uncle has done the majority of their posters since the 90's, I'm a fan and they put on a helluva St. Patrick's day show
The Dropkick Murphys are from the city of Quincy Massachusetts about 10 miles south of Boston. Quincy Massachusetts is also famous for being the Birthplace of the original Dunkin Donuts
I grew up in Milton and remember going to the original store growing up (yes, I'm that old). Both of my parents were born in Quincy.
@@ejd53 I am that old also grew up in Scituate but worked alot in Quincy
While maybe not as important as Dunkin Donuts, Quincy, MA is also the birthplace of 2 US Presidents - John Adams and John Quincy Adams. 😀
@@lexentropy Just trying to give some info she would appreciate
For those here that aren't from the area, it's pronounced quin-zee not quin-see.
I've been to that Dunkin!
I'm in a Quincy bar, (visiting from the west coast) and this comes on the jukebox. My brother laughed when I asked "who is this, I love it!" It's not just Boston, it's SOUTHIE.
Rose Tattoo by Dropkick Murphys is my favorite
It’s always nice to expand one’s musical horizons along with Diane!
Hoowaaaaay!! 🎉
Its kinda like those videos of people seeing color or hearing for the first time
I stopped listening to Rock music in the mid-70s when Disco became popular. I listened to Jazz for years and I only got back to listening to Rock and Metal in 2007 when I started going to Karaoke.
@@fr2ncm9 My boyfriend had a T shirt with the phrase from that era that still rings just as true. DISCO SUCKS! I hope I still have that picture of him in it. It's no surprise you were turned off so strongly from it, because it was and is truly awful stuff. From that point on, music no longer seemed to really matter. Money and Pop Music took over, and the stuff that has made it onto the mainstream radio ever since then has been just atrocious! Truly unlistenable!
It all sucks. That's why I only get inspired by regerals from personal friends, or people on UA-cam who have demonstrated similar tastes to mine. I then search UA-cam for the artist or song and listen to it. I haven't set foot in a music store in many decades. I have a large enough collection of old favorites, and that suplimented by UA-cam playlists is enough to sustain me for now.
I miss so much the days when a group of us music lovers would go from one person's house this weekend to another person's the next, and so on. We'd all bring a few drinks, and a few doobies, and maybe even some great stuff to enhance the listening pleasure, so it never failed to be great time. We renewed old friendships, and our love for old favorites, made new ones, and never failed to be introduced to music that we'd never heard but were so pleasantly surprised by! Those experiences were among the true highlights of my life! I miss that so much.
The friends became dispersed, and although many stay in touch, we are in different cities. Pot is legal here, but I need friends around. Smoking alone is no fun. It was never about the drugs. It was about the people and the music. And at that time, the live music scene in my city was fantastic! There were many great local bands that played a circuit that our local bar was a part of. So we'd usually meet at the bar on Friday night, and decide whose place to meet at on Saturday. For a few years there, we heard more great music that was new, and older stuff that was new to us, so our minds were expanded all the time.
It was a terrible shock when the musical world that I'd grown up into just sort of shriveled and died so quickly, and it's a drag to have to work so hard to find good new stuff now, instead of having so much wonderful music all around us, as it used to be. But it is what it is. At least there's UA-cam to get ideas from.
I wish you luck in your journey! ✌🏼
Diane, Have you seen “Derry Girls”? That’s where I 1st heard this song. Love that show.💙 Great craic.
The reason Irish American is an award sounding statement for you is the difference between the Americas and the rest of the world. People from Ireland are Irish and people from France are French, but Americans are from the rest of the world. Here in the US many people acknowledge they are American, however also regularly sight where thier ancestors are from and when asked what nationality they are, they will sight thier ancestral heritage
My favorite Drop Kick Murphys song is “‘tis the season” a humorous Christmas song that looks at family relations during the holidays.
Yeah, that’s my Son’s favourite. Mainly due to the “Gift” the dude gets from his Nephew.
I told my boy that the only person he is ever allowed to send a gift wrapped box of sh*t to is the Mother in Law. Hasn’t happened yet though!
Dropkick Murphy’s version of Fields of Athenry is an awesome cover of an Irish classic.
check out for the No Use For A Name's version
Check out their cover of Green Fields of France
The lyrics were written by legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie. The Guthrie estate invited a variety of musicians to take his unused lyrics and make new songs with them. This song in one that came out of that. Their song Blackout is another such song with Guthries lyrics.
They've also put out two full albums using his lyrics fairly recently.
I'm guessing you didn't actually watch the video.
This is a great Boston band that I have seen live, they do a great job. Happy Wednesday Diane.
As a union Massachusetts guy who works for the Boston IBEW (international brotherhood of electrical workers), the Dropkicks have a special place in my heart. Excellent reaction as always ❤
IBEW represent!!!
@@damonhowell6292 IBEW Pittsburgh
Seattle AFSCME and UFCW guy here - OH and the drummer for Boston's Scruffy the Cat was also and IBEW member! Ya wanna get beat up? Do or say anything Nazi at one of their gigs!
I was in the AFL/CIO many years ago
@@razor6552 For any who do not know that is a "Union of Unions". The history of how that happened is a fun thing to read up on. AFL were "craft unions" membership was based on what you did NOT on where you worked. The CIO was based on where you worked so in a CIO union if you were at a factory and there was a CIOP union for that factory did not matter if you were a custodian, mechanic painter etc. CIO wanted every line worker in a bargaining unit under that union. AFL was not a fan of the idea of say UFCW 3000 with it's mix of grocery, retail, hospitals, pharmacy, pot shop, dog day care Seattle Kraken staff etc etc
Harmonized shouting!!!! That's a first for me. One connection I don't think even you have mentioned about the Irishnessness of Irish Americans is the love of the Trad sound. Thanks Diane BOOP
Yes 🙌
My wife's family is from County Galway and her uncle enjoyed listening to Dropkick Murphys doing Fields of Athenry, as though they changed the music the words were the same. They did a great job and he appreciated it.
I live in the Boston area and I've heard them live. They are really great.
I saw them and Flogging Molly on the same bill for St. Patrick's Day once and both bands were amazing.
Yes! Dropkick Murphys are one of my faves. A bit off-season, but you should check out their Xmas song. Missed the Patreon link (I slapped myself already) but SO GLAD I made it in TFH club. 😁
"The season's upon us" - Yep!
I Enjoyed Learning with You about the Band while Reading, Listening, and watching You Narrate.
These guys were pretty big in the 90’s and early 2000’s in the rock/punk scene. One of my favorite bands.
"Shipping Down to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys was featured in an American film called THE BOONDOCK SAINTS (1999). It starred Norman Reedus (long before THE WALKING DEAD), Sean Patrick Flannery, Billy Connolly & Willem Dafoe. The Dropkick Murphys song played over the opening credits.
Up.
I was one of the people who suggested this, your reaction did not disappoint. Although they're not Irish (as far as I know), another great Boston punk group is the Mighty, Mighty Bosstones.
If they're from Boston there's a very good chance that at least some of them identify as Irish-American.
My mother was born in England of British decent, and my dad is Canadian of Irish-American descent, but I consider myself Irish-Canadian. The Irish is the biggest part of my heart, followed very closely by Canadian. The English matters a little bit. I don't know for sure if American blood might have snuck in there, but if it did, I reject it strongly.
Because the Irish in America were forced to keep to themselves, it's likely that all of my dad's ancestors in America were of pure Irish blood, even if there was a generation or 2 that were born in America.
@@cattymajiv You're probably right, what I meant is that they don't promote themselves as Irish.
theyre very much not irish
@@cattymajiv none of this matters if youre born in the usa and live in the usa you're american. 'irish americans' is not a thing, youre american. We dont see you as irish in the slightest in ireland, not in the slightest. Its honestly pretty offensive because you absolutely didnt experience any of the struggles and suffering of being an actual irish person.
@@WookieWarriorz No one is implying that they are from Ireland. It's a different thing in a country like the US where we're all descended from immigrants. Knowing your ethnic/cultural origins is very important to many of us. We may not have been born in Ireland or Norway, or France, but our grandparents were. Our family stories, religions, food come from those countries. Our holiday celebrations, family traditions, names come from those places. "Irish-American" is a different identity than "Irish" or simply "American". We don't tell you how to use "Irish" (and we don't use it), you can't tell us how to use "Irish American".
At 2:32 Your reaction is Awesome when Dropkick Murphy's go Rock N Roll, Traditional Irish and Punk Rock Music All at the Same Time
Dropkick Murphys and Liza Minnelli are why my wife & I no longer try to force each other to go to each other’s concerts!
Luckily I have friends that like Celtic Punk, & she has friends that love Liza!
The Dropkicks are amazing in concert! 💜🍀
grew up outside Boston so "For Boston" is my favorite of theirs. They played at my college in 2003 and were awesome.
Theme song to The Departed!!! Great movie!! Shipping Up to Boston is my ringtone.
It sounds familiar because in almost every American movie that is in Ireland this song gets played so the American audience knows they are in Ireland.
Irish American song about Boston to tell you you're in ireland.... hmm okay
@@mintjulius275 I dont make the rules lol. Just saying. The most popular Russian song in the American culture is by a german band I think.
They're Boston Irish. Great band. Rose Tattoo is a favorite of me and my kids. Also a fan of Barroom Hero, Spicy McHaggis, Tessie (technically a cover), State of Massachusetts, and Kiss me I'm Shitfaced. 😅
We call it Paddy Punk in Australia. Dropkick Murphy's, Flogging Molly, The Rumjacks and Pogues
They have a great Christmas song, "The Season's Upon Us." I'll try to remember to hook you up with the video in a few months.
Sounds good!
My favorite Christmas Song!
gotta check out the Pogues, who originated the punk/celtic hybrid
So i live in Boston, right in the city, nearly 20 years now. You cannot go to a public event without hearing this song. It's almost like it's a city ordinance that it must be played at public events.
Dropkick Murphys are amazing. During covid they did 2 streaming benefit concerts that were totally free and only asked for donations to charity. There is a video of them performing a free concert outside a sick kids window. Plus, they play this song when the Notre Dame Fighting Irish take the field.
nobody gives enough credit to "The State of Massachusetts." it sounds more Irish than even this song
I didn't remember the name of the band, but I have heard the song played before at Hockey games in Chicago.
Black 47 is also an Irish-American band you might want to check out (Maria's Wedding or Funky Ceili are good places to start). The singer, Larry Kirwin, is from Wexford, and until they broke up a few years ago they would do a tour each year where they took a busload of fans with them around Ireland to see the sights and go to their show each evening. The year I went we traveled to Dublin, Wexford, Newcastle, Belfast, and Kilarney.
Ahhh, the Rathskeller, man i miss those dirty halls of glory
Now to complete the trifecta of Celtic punk: you've heard Dropkick Murphys. Now on to the Pogues and Flogging Molly. 😉
I'd include the Young Dubliners as well.
Also My First Time Hearing Drop Kick Murphy's. Hearing Rock n Roll mixed with Irish Music is interesting. I like the sound to the Music. Enjoyed Your Music Reactions. Thanks For sharing the Music Journey with Joyful Good Vibes. Happy Irish Rock Wednesdays Rock On! Party On! Pint On! Food On!
There are tons of Canadian bands that mix the two. I'm not able to think clearly right now, so I can't think of many of them right now, except for Great Big Sea and Ashley MacIssac. Maybe also Tricontinental, but that band also has some influences from Madagascar in Africa.
Since that country is off-shore from Africa, it's music has a different sound from that of the mainland countries, and it's a really wonderful sound, with lots of really delicate string work. I love every song I've ever heard by the Malagasy people! So it's inclusion to the work of the Canadian band Tricontinental is very interesting and they do a wonderful job of blending different styles. The musicians are from Madagascar, England, and Canada. (I think.)
But of course there is an American influence too. We Canadians are Canadians are constantly bombarded by Americanism, 24/7, so we can't avoid subconsciously absorbing some of it, and it does affect some of what we do, as much as we wish it wouldn't. We prefer the British Rock And Roll over the American (with some exceptions), but we do realize of course that the roots of British Rock and Roll came from the Deep South of America. Or some us do, probably mostly the older ones, 50 and up.
There's one band that mixes Celtic and Rock so well, and I especially love them! But I don't know the correct spelling for their name. It sounds like Slawnja Vah, but it's spelled in the Irish way, which I don't know. It's an Irish toast, like Down The Hatch, and it's often shortened to just Slawnja. I've often heard it in movies, when people are toasting drinks, or when they are parting company, so I guess the original meaning is something like "Good luck!" or "God bless you!"
Seen them 4 times so far, once in Cork, 3 times in Dublin amd seeing them a 5th time on July 7th in Iveagh Gardens Dublin, best live band ever...and their gigs have a haunting opening by Sinead O'Connor...so many great songs, Rose Tattoo my fav
I saw them in concert in 2013. It was a good time.
From NY, love these guys, they're Boston legends! As much as we fight about sports between football, baseball & hockey, we all agree on this band! Especially the St Patrick's Day shows!
I am sure this Song Plays Good in a Irish Pub to a Pint Drinking Contest of Guinness.
Liked this one Diane! Cool reaction. You never fail to make me smile. Thanks!
You may have just discovered it but Irish American punk rock is absolutely a genre all to itself. Some of the more recognizable bands being Dropkick Murphy, Flogging Molly, The Four Kings, Gaelic Storm, the Pouges and the Real McKinzes. Great Craic!
I didn't realize this song had words. I've only heard it as a cover by Mia and Ally as an instrumental (violin and bagpipes).
Give Rose Tattoo a listen.
This song and Johnny, I hardly knew ya are 2 of my favorite Dropkick Murphy songs
We love you Diane!
Might I suggest you check out "You'll Accomp'ny Me" by Bob Seger.
Another great song you could check out is "Angel Fire" by Eddy Raven.
Second that first one
As a nurse thank you Jason. A lot of times we are the forgotten heroes.
So was a great walk through history. "shipping up to Boston" is my pump me up song. Never really researched there history that was fun to know.
Republican Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker stripped state employees of their pensions (for which they already earned.) He also attacked collective bargaining. The Dropkick Murphys are good people who support the hard working people who have created the American Dream.
Which was likely the reason why The Drop-Kick Murphy's dislike him and his using their song for his political campaign
Was the state in debt? If so, how can you give people money if it’s not there?
Not 100 true, Act 10 did did end collective bargaining for some groups of employees but it did not strip them of their pensions. I did require them to pay more into their pensions going forward plus a few other items.
Probably the biggest thing that hurt the public employee unions (except for public safety roles) was then ending of fair share agreements - this was the ability of the unions to make automatic union fee withdrawals even if the person was not part of the union.
@@oldrabidus2230 Every corporation in the world is in debt. I guess every corporate employee should not get paid.
Back in reality, a debt balance is normal. Earned pensions are the personal property of the worker.
Love them! They also have a Christmas song with a great video you could watch on your own called "The Season's Upon Us" That's a lot of fun and gets a lot of play around here at Christmas time.
The "Rat" or Rathskeller was a great dive bar in Boston.
Happy Wednesday Diane and Chewie. That was another good reaction.
One of the best bands from New England.
Thank you for the review it's nice you got a chance to hear them
My favorite song of theirs is their cover of the song "Green Fields of France". Otherwise "Dirty Glass" is always a fun time lol
floggingmolly, thetossers, flatfoot 56, pogues, rumjacks, and the young dubliners
Their first 3 albums are stellar from top to bottom.
I’m from the Boston Massachusetts area, this band in general this song in particular is often associated with the Massachusetts professional sports teams specifically The Boston Bruins NHL Hockey team. Enjoyed your reaction and response 👊🏻
You need to see them live!!! Iveagh Gardens Dublin July 7. You'll never be the same
I'm floored, this young lady is absolutely gorgeous. She probably has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen!
finally saw them 2 yrs ago and it was fun, that song is also the intro for the show Rizzoli and Isle.
Blasting this and watching The Boondock Saints… as a pregame… has become a St. Patrick’s Day tradition for me and my friends.
Oh, you'd love them, live!
St. Pats, in Boston, is always a fun time!
I've known these boys, since Al was in The Bruisers.
If you ever get a chance, get to a St Pats day show.
And, check out Murphys Boxing, at the after party.
Its a good time!
you should really visit Boston. its a awesome city!!
"Mmm rock n roll." Vocals kick in, "unexpected"
This is ia great pump up song that is often played at sporting events.
omg omg i am hyped for ya to finally listen to dropkick murphys Dianne. Beeen a huge fan of these guys for a decade now. This was one of the first songs i ever added on my mp3 player back in the days that turned me into a fan of Irish music in general. Fun facts about this band. They have been known to collab with another Irish folk band the dublinners from time to time. They also do a yearly live stream celebrating saint patricks day on there channel for fans which is neat for the past 3 years. Also really loved their uniqueness on blending Irish folk with rock. hopefully you get to listen to another fave Irish group of mine The Dublinners someday. :)
They’re from fookin Boston love. We love um!
I'm such a fan of this band. So much fun. Try also a Canadian band called Great Big Sea.
Could swear I saw them in the late Nineties in a youth center in Germany, supporting Madball, playing in front of no more than 50 people.
Great video and I learned something from a favorite. Someone spray painted drop kick murphys in Abu Ghraib over Sadams face. The Boston Red Sox and Boston Bruins used it for a while with a live performance at Fenway Park.
Just saw them in Nashville a couple of months ago (third time). They are an amazing live band!
Congratulations, Diane, you have now heard every Dropkick Murphys song.
During St Paddies and the rona "lock downs" they did a free show (steaming) show. It was awesome
Flogging Molly, DM, The Pogues, are all great driving (or riding, if the weather is nice) music. There are a bunch of other smaller bands that Pandora or Spotify will serve up as well. Fun fact: the former Mayor of Baltimore and later Governor of Maryland (Martin O'Malley) used to front an Celtic-rock band - EVEN while serving in both offices; they were pretty good too, saw them at least two or three times. Cheers Diane! 💚
Cheers Mike! Sounds cool
They have one of my favorite Christmas songs... "The Season's Upon Us".
They have the best Christmas song ever, The Season's upon us
Rose tattoo is my fav tune from this band. I live in Boston and have Irish blood. I believe they have a Christmas song called this is Christmas where I'm from, but I could have gotten the title wrong. ✌️
Also worth checking out "Fields of Athenry", "Green fields of France", "Rose Tattoo" and "Captain Kelly's Kitchen".
Just like from the departed there is a long history of the Irish mob in Boston and the north east seaboard. This heavily influences the songs and a bit of the irish american culture from the area.
You are a breath of fresh air. Love listening to you.
I stumbled upon them looking for Christmas songs. "The Season's Upon Us" isn't your typical Christmas song, but it is a lot of naughty fun.
This is sooooo much better live.
Diane, your video was an engaging journey through the world of Dropkick Murphys, blending entertainment with insightful commentary, and your personal touches make viewers feel connected and appreciated.
You should absolutely check out their version of “Finnegan’s Wake.” It’s a phenomenal blend of punk and traditional music.
