ah yes, I agree, but keep in mind the lead singer is half scottish, so hell, it's perfect, irish american band with a half scottish singer doing a Scots-Aussie song, some damn good things came out of Australia!
i have been ac dc fan since I was 13 years old. Now I"m 48 years young. still fan of ac dc. this is indeed a very, very good cover. dkm just is a superband! let them cover any band, it will be good. I"d like to see them cover a lovesong by slayer... rockmusic never dies.
I'm a big AC/DC and Dropkick Murphys fan,, and the first time i saw Dropkick Murphy's live they played this cover of AC/DC. My heart stopped beating and I was in heaven. I've seen Dropkick Murphys 5 times now and none of them were so good as the first time I saw them.
I like that in Dropkick Murphy's shows I'm able to cry not like sappy tears about corny love songs n such , I cry tears of a warrior ,these emotions reinforce my fierceness , I am a DM fan & proud of it.
They still play and still kick ass!! I saw them at the palladium back in feb. I met ken and scruffy! They are chill bastards for sure!! LET'S GO MURPHYS!!!
Fuck yeah ...... THE BEST cover of this song yet. I just watched all the other bands covering this world heritage song ... fuck it up big time and I called them out.
Why should it matter, where the people are from? The music matters, when the music is great, everything will be great. Enjoy the music - enjoy yourself. Nationality is like sportclubs - it fucks everything up. I'll give you guys an example, it was after a Motörheadconcert in Hanover, the party was great, the people were awesome ... and then, in front of the door, someone was shouting: "Hanover 96" then another one: "Hanover 06" then the third one: "Eintracht Brunswick" The fans of these two clubs can't stand each other - the battery started immediately. For me, this is stupid, not understandable. The people went to a concert, the fans feel the same feelings about the music and then, suddenly, they become enemies just because someone is in a different sportclub? I got friends all over the world and I don't care where they are from as long as the heart is to be found at the right spot. Nationality is not more than a word to me, for me, it means less than a chewing gum under my shoe. It fucks everything up.
Ok, a bit of background first: I am an Australian, born and raised my entire life in Melbourne's suburbs. My family is predominantly Irish, Scottish and Scots-Irish (with a heavy dose of Viking) in heritage, and came out to Australia in the 1840s, mainly because of the Famine. I grew up listening to AC/DC, and I have to say, in my honest opinion, this is possibly the best cover of an AC/DC song I have ever heard in my life. I ain't saying that it's better than the original, but I am saying that it is damn close. Nice work, guys.
Don't care for ac-dc but I've seen dropkick live 8 times now. The last time my awesome girlfriend and I saw em' in Duluth Minnesota and they are still so great live. Love u guys!!!
Angus and Malcolm Young were born in Scotland and Brian Johnson and Cliff Williams were born in England ... Phil Rudd was born in Melbourne ... but they are classed as an Australian band because this awesome country was where it all started!
@Just Gofish nice try, brian Johnston came on board in the late 70s, after bon Scott's tragic demise. the others were immigrants who grew up in Australia. fun fact, angus amd malcolms older brother George was in the easy beats
It´s A FUCKING GREAT SONG, I "discover today at morning the band dropkick murphys! And I Never see this cover before! and I love ac/dc! It´s Fucking great Music played and writed by GREAT musicians! and BIGROCKERS!
This has to be one of the strangest musical coincidences that I've come across being an Australian football league fan considering that Shippin' up Boston has been used to promote TV coverage of the AFL in recent years and It's a long way to the top has been an unofficial anthem of the AFL's finals series for pretty much as long as it's existed
Fuck y'all who disrespect! Dropkick fucking rocks and they definitely rocked this song! Waiting for another tour and album gents.
An Irish-American band playing a Scots-Aussie band's song, it had to be fuckin brilliant!
Hell yeah, it's fuckin' awesome!
Bloody brilliant is right!
Bloody oath, Ned. Bloody fucking oath.
ah yes, I agree, but keep in mind the lead singer is half scottish, so hell, it's perfect, irish american band with a half scottish singer doing a Scots-Aussie song, some damn good things came out of Australia!
Yes it is...al Barr is half scotch half German. Sings in German when they tour Germany.
I am a huge AC/DC fan, almost 20 years now, and this has got to be one of my 3 favorite AC/DC covers.
i have been ac dc fan since I was 13 years old. Now I"m 48 years young. still fan of ac dc. this is indeed a very, very good cover. dkm just is a superband! let them cover any band, it will be good. I"d like to see them cover a lovesong by slayer... rockmusic never dies.

AWESOME!!!!
A Scottish Australian tune covered by an Irish American band, and pretty damn good if you ask me! I think Bon would be proud.
yes good job
How are they Irish?
@@matthewd2365 They're not actually Irish but Americans of Irish ancestry, that's why the original comment said Irish American.
They rocked it
yes great music, we are all kin folk
This is an Aussie Anthem, but we'll allow this version - it ROCKS!
Bagpipes makes everything sounds better.
nearly like cheese on food
Zod of Heaven that comment made my day!
Try telling that to them homeless mooks getting their head down at Bournemouth bus station! lol
They're the new cowbell.
Sure does.
DROPKICK MURPHYS the most bad ass rock band in the USA today.
Saw these guys Mardi Gras New Orleans 2014. Words cant express how great of a show it really was.
I think Bon Scott would be proud of this cover. It's one of the better covers I've heard in a while, AND they even use bagpipes.
I'm a big AC/DC and Dropkick Murphys fan,, and the first time i saw Dropkick Murphy's live they played this cover of AC/DC. My heart stopped beating and I was in heaven.
I've seen Dropkick Murphys 5 times now and none of them were so good as the first time I saw them.
Oh my GOD where have you guys been all my life. I just moved to New Orleans come back PLEASE!

Drop kick Murphys, only in America does a bartender rise to rock the masses... Irish heart, American pride.

You do know that "Viking" isn't a nationality? But whatever you gotta use to try to impress people, I guess.
I'm half Viking, half Pict, I knew what he meant :P
Atraxus Wraithe
Just chill 😀
Aussies can be whoever they want to be. Being Aussie of Irish descent myself.
Too the Irish/ Scots in Australia. Fuck yeah
This is dropkick murphy they put thier own spin on stuff and I love it
Great Balls of Fire!!

Greetings from Alaska, USA!
Great remake I love it.mmm..
An honestly great cover of ACDC!!
Yeah, it feels like forever, at times
great band
YEAH,that`s a great jammin version of a great song,,,ROCK ON !!!!
acdc could be proud of their irish neighbours :p
Actually Dropkick Murphys are an American Celtic punk rock band lol I made the same mistake at first too
Deadpool they are of irish blood
AC DC are from Australia.
All of them with scottish roots
Christoph Schneider they are from Boston, they might have irish in their blood but not directly irish
awesome cover
I am a DIE HARD AC/DC fan and this cover blows me away! Well done!!!
AC/DC is my favorite bad but this one is better than the original.
Many cover bands have done this song, and DKM is the closest to the real deal. The melody is played almost as good as AC/DC
But , actually is not a cover, is AC DC the music in this video.
@lugaidhwelsh6159 that is definitely NOT ACDC playing the song in this video. It is 100% DKM.
Great cover!
I should listen to this band more often.
*Seal of Approval*
i love it
Best cover of any ACaDaCa song, ever!!
my 2 fav bands ac/dc and dropkick murphys
bravo dropkick pozdrav iz hrvatske
Torcida Split
Excellent Bagpipe playing!!!
Yeah, somebody finally brought the bagpipes to a "Long Way" cover! ;D
My favorite song!
Irac iz Srbije vas pozdravlja!
Respect from Finland!
And Australia 👍
great cover murphys
Great job on the pipes Joe!
An Irish/American band doin a cover of a Scottish/Australian band !!! Great rock knows no borders !!!
Nice Cover!!
Long live celtic punk from Boston
Theme song of a generation... As real as it gets.
yess, very good cover!
great rock'n song by the late great one bon scott. great cover murphys.
"What, you want to feel my bagpipes?"
Great cover, for sure.
Yay saw them live at Festival des Artefacts in france yesterday! :D
no way better, but a great homage, and best cover I've heard. From Bon's home town... rock on!
you can't touch AC/DC's version of this, but this is still fantastic! The one thing i like more on this version is the bagpipes are less shrill
yes AGREED!!!
DKM and AC/DC are my two fav all time bands. This would be a wet dream of unimaginable proportions.
I really like the minor bit of artistic license DKM took to make this their own, and consider this a worthy tribute to this classic.
And I LOST MY LEGS!! K-Town Celt Punk Fest it has been Written...Legless pete...
This has to be one of the strangest musical coincidences that I've come across being an Australian football league fan considering that Shippin' up Boston has been used to promote TV coverage of the AFL in recent years and It's a long way to the top has been an unofficial anthem of the AFL's finals series for pretty much as long as it's existed
class ! almost sound like bon !
This is a really good cover. Nice Vid!
the best cover of Its a long way
