A friend from high school snuck me into the show they filmed this at. I was 15/16 years old. One of my favorite days ever.
Heck yeah--Boston punk was unreal at the time. so many good bands. I was looking for myself I didn't even know there was a video for this song. Where was this filmed?
@@allisondick4357 Mid East downstairs.
@@MrJimibones ah that's what I thought. '98/99?
@@allisondick4357 I think 98. I found the flyer for it when I first commented here. It was like a week after my birthday too.
@@MrJimibones fun!
I dedicated this song to my old man. To this day, my family never understood it. The only thing that matters is that I know he would love it. Thank you guys.
All these people talking shit like anyone in the band is going to give a fuck.
These guys have been at this for 20 years. They're not hard-headed street punks anymore. Most of them have families and are nearing middle age.
To me, the progression of their music from tough oi/street punk to a more folk-driven sound is from their own growth and changes in life. Music is a living, breathing thing and it evolves like anything else that's alive. The dedication that these guys have put into their music deserves nothing but respect, because despite people who want to keep them in a small niche of music, they've allowed themselves to expand and grow.
Cheers to Dropkick. Looking forward to more from them.
couldn't have said it any better myself
Thank you! 🎶🙌🎶
Old and new DKM, its all good IMHO.
das it mayne
I love all their material from the early street punk to the folk driven music, it's all Dropkick's all the way!
Salute to all our barroom heroes who are no longer with us!
Some of us are still here, cheers.
Thoughts and Prayers
This song has always been my favorite from Dropkick to this day and they have some awesome songs
My favorite Dropkick song. Pumps up my energy levels when I hear it
Rest In Peace, Shawn McBride. You are sadly missed, amigo. I cannot listen to the Dropkick Murphys without always thinking of you. Wish you were here. I know your soul is out there cracking everyone up with your wit & charm❣️
Face down in the gutter won't admit defeat
Though his clothes are soiled and black
He's a big strong man with a child's mind
Don't you take his booze away, hey
He's been at it for years drinkin' balls and beers
He's a hero to most he meets
But inside he cries black
Swollen eyes this man he sheds no tears
Now his wife and kids sing a different tune
As they worry about their daddy dyin'
But this arrogant fool breaks every rule
It'll be nothing but pride that kills him
Could he listen, no he won't that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
'Cause the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this boy from dying
Could he listen, no he won't that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
'Cause the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this boy from dying
He's a legend in the bar with every scar
Fights a thousand bigger men
Now he fights and looses got all the bruises
Will someone please step in?
This Irish fools got a great big heart
He keeps climbing back into the ring
In the low down circles where he holds his court
This man he once was king
Could he listen, no he won't that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
'Cause the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this boy from dying
Could he listen, no he won't that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
'Cause the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this boy from dying
{This one goes out to the Boston punks and skins, varies from CD
This one goes out to everyone at six fifty six Adams street
How you doin'? Fellas}
He's a legend in the bar with every scar

This is the best line up this band ever had in my opinion. Still great after but this shit hit my soul!!!!
Born and raised in Boston and spent too many years as the barroom hero. dropkicks nailed the culture in this tune.
Me asking as a foreigner what's a barroom hero?
20 years on and still a great song! The Rat may be gone gone but those memories live on.... wish there was more August Spies footage..
Do or die is one of the best albums of all time.
I´m from Germany and I love this Band and this Song. Dropkick Murphys are a unbelievable and amazing Band... Genious^^
This song never gets old
I swear this is a tribute to my old man, he was born and raised in Charlestown. I remember when I was 18 (legal age in Canada) he and my mom took me out to get my first legal drinks. Someone was dancing too close to my mom & I watched him smash a beer pitcher over the guys head and beat the shit out of both the bouncers that came at him. It was at that moment I realized I will NEVER be Boston tough. Rest easy Big Dave, you were a true bar room hero.
Feel the same about me old man. Tough as nails. His nickname was kick. Later in life when I was in my 20s and had a chip on my shoulder he pulled me aside and told me that he never looked for wars he never wanted to fight but when it was time to he danced the dance. Bar room battles are never something to brag about but if and when shit breaks out there's certain guys you want on your side. Big Jer was one of em. Our dad's were cut from the same cloth. May they rest in power. Just saw Dropkick last night. It's been years. They played Rose Tattoo which is a super heart hitting tune for me. Was wicked. Cheers and much love lad🤜🍀🤛
Love the oi skin punk sound. Its definitely my favorite album from them. Streets dogs is where it's at
19 years ago, July 1996, DKM released their split 7inch with Ducky Boys, which was the first release ever for both bands and featured Barroom Hero, a song most of us likely first heard on the first Give 'Em the Boot album. .
@Toasted Cheeseburger The compilations are amazing. So many awesome songs there.
@@krisbeelzebub667 That’s just perfect. Is it just me, or have these albums fallen out of style now?
@@krisbeelzebub667 Yep, that makes sense
Damn I didn't know this video even existed. Hearing this song on the first give em in the boot compilation made go buy their album in 1998. For whatever reason I have always preferred this lead vocalist! Do or Die is their best albumin my humble opinion.
This video in these songs bring me back to another time
The dropkick Murphy's i love
The following albums they released are all well and good. Cheers to any and everyone who knocks back a pint or 12 while listening to em. But my fav hands down is and has been "Do Or Die", greats songs and I really liked the original singers voice and all around stage presence. Plus when I hear "Barroom Hero" I'm instantly teleported back to 1997-98 when I first heard it in high school.
Yeah man exactly. I can’t listen to most of the new stuff. People have no idea that they used to be a street band
I saw dropkick so many times in the 90s.. always a good time cheers 🍻
I always listen to Dropkick Murphys when I'm getting ready for a party!
Revisiting. Classic
this album was amazing. still rock this one more then any other DKM album.
Man, i love this song. it always reminds me of the times when i was high as a kite the whole time. Sometimes i got so wasted i didn't even know my own name anymore. But then, one day, i lowered my glass and said to mysel "Mike, you can't go on that way! you have to stop drinking RIGHT NOW!" Sure, it is not easy to stop right away. To make that decision will change a whole life, i can tell you that. So here i am. 15 years older. Looking back at what has been. My name is still not Mike and i am drunk as fck.
Bravo Sir. Bravo!
lol
HAHAHA thank u for the good laugh my friend! Cheers!
This song is great
I remember the 1st singer who left the band to serve people of Boston in the fire department!
He has a new band Street Dogs they are pretty good check em out.
Jason McPherson street dogs picked up where the old Dkm left off
Conor Walsh what the fuck does that have anything to do with him starting a new band? You pice of shit just looking to bash people?
Mike McColgan also served in the US Army .
McColgan era Murphys were the best Murphys.
This is what freedom is all about do not forget that
This really captures the essence of the Irish spirit. He may not be the biggest man, but he is so brave that nothing will stop him from taking on men bigger than him.
never get tired of this tune
ONE OF THEIR BEST SONGS
This will always be a great song
Without a doubt my favorite Dropkick album
Cheers and blessings to you
Beast of a band! This is the best Dropkick Murphys.
New DKM: punk-y Irish music
Old DKM: Irish punk music.
Right on
That is accurate as fuck.
Accurate and also not bad. They're in their 40s are you still punk as fuck 20 years later? If so congratulations and also accept my sympathy with it. Lmao
Mike Doherty I only listen to the old stuff . didn't know they had newer stuff. cool.
Love this shit been down so long...
Restrepo lives forever with this song, Godspeed my brother may you be in heaven before the devil answers the phone
Bro 😪 Restrepo. I remember watching the war doc about that. Were you there?
Saint Patrick's Day marching in the parade with a damn hangover from hell in 1997
Damn Boston was a fun port call.
Top man your Gramp, pity there is not more of them around. All the best from from Gloucester.
This One goes out to Shawn P. McBride ,who introduced me to DKM. A bloody fighting Irishman, who left too soon. R.I.P brother. You Guys wicked remind me of him, and how much I love My New England, history, and your Real Music, Love this Band
If this song doesn’t make you want to run through a brick wall, then you’re wrong.
This is quickly becoming my anthem!
Total anthem! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Seen them in Cincinnati before they got big great show
Always reminds es of the legend Dickie Hammond of Leatherface, but for the right reasons... He was a legend, had a great big heart, would gladly climb into the ring for his friends, and was an utter barroom hero, especially in our little local!
Gone to soon and sorely missed, Rip Hammond, you absolute Puma and king of the bowls! 🖤
My anthem!!
*Sitting in the thick of covid-19.*
This man, he once was king!!!
The best Drop Kick kicks ass 🤘🔥🤘
Love this song. It is fucking awesome.
I saw them, as this lineup at slims in SF when I was 17. We all had shaved heads and wife beaters. One of the funnest nights of my life
Best DKM song. My humble opinion.
On of mine too.
This one go's out to one tuff ass man my dad Mr. McGraw. A real bar room hero here is no longer with us..... R.I.P.
MrSmiles1977 🍺
Wild seeing my Brother Kenny (The Bartender *Fighter*) In the begining looking right at the camera Rest In Peace. They all look so young here, feels like yesterday
Classic!!! Gang vocals, mention of Irish heritage, hey hey heys, dropout with crew shoutouts, bagpipes! It’s got everything! Blue collar immigrant rock!!!!
A great memorial to im sure a great man.
best song ever!
Happy 20th birthday to this album, do or die for another 20 boys!!
every time i drink this song I listen to a whole glass of Wiskey.
I love em both, but thankfully we can still listen to Mike as he's been doing some damn good work with Street Dogs for a while now.
True. The Dogs have quite a few very good songs.
Perfect
Huevos grandes.🔥🔥🔥
What a craic. Cheers from Italy where pub brawls are so common even if we're not irish lol
ha micks and wops are basically the same damn thing with different colored hair... short, angry, catholic, and always punching their whore wives when they ain't prego ha im italian and irish so im like double fucked
zapraszam do Polski !!
PUNK!!!!!! ME ENCANTAAAAA!!!!!!
A man once took my booze away........ God Rest His Soul
That black jump suit that says bomb squad might be the most punk rock thing ever.
love that Micky Fitz and Steve Whale are in the video, good lads and so are the DKM
Great song, me and my friend always try to sing this on St. Pat's Day...first verse okay, then jibberish...big thanks to my Irish friend! ;)
never heard of them. i will look into it. thanks.... maybe
Saw these guys providence,ri for the do or die tour...mike mccolgan is an Irish legend...slainte!! For Irish heroes!!!
Did The Royal Crowns open for them? Baby Head?
They've both got great songs, and DKM's very good about giving them the Right songs.
This song has always been about regulators for me (I think of the wives and husband's of emergency response professionals, but before it was policy and a public job, it was volunteer, and the troublemaking Irish started as far as my history knows it). As gentle and kind as brute when force is needed, not an easy line to walk. Love the way you have told these stories to be remembered and to remind. ❤️
I've been hearing this song, it never gets old, but it never gets better than listening to it with a Guinness(in tonights case a Guiness and Newcastle Black and Tan)
Fuck yeah! Do Or Die is my favorite album!!!
Happy St Patrick’s day 2023 🎉
Хорошо!
Let's Go Murphy's !
I'm italian and i so fking love Dropkick Murphys :D
Love this : Lyrics
Face down in the gutter, won't admit defeat

He's a big, strong man with a child's mind
Don't you take his booze away, hey
He's been at it for years, drinkin' balls and beers
He's a hero to most he meets, hey, hey, hey
But inside he cries, black, swollen eyes
This man, he sheds no tears
Now his wife and kids sing a different tune
As they worry 'bout their daddy dyin', hey, hey, hey
But this arrogant fool breaks every rule
It'll be nothing but pride that kills him
Could he listen, no, he won't, that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
But the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this man from dying
Could he listen, no, he won't, that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
But the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this fool from dying
He's a legend in the bar with every scar
Fights a thousand bigger men, hey, hey, hey
But now he fights and loses, got all the bruises
Will someone please step in?
This Irish fools got a great, big heart
He keeps climbin' back into the ring, hey, hey, hey
In the low down circles where he holds his court
This man, he once was king
Could he listen, no, he won't, that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
But the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this fool from dying
Could he listen, no, he won't, that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
But the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this fool from dying
This one goes out to the Boston Punks and Skins
A rowdy bunch they are
This one goes out to everyone at Six Fifty Six Adams Street
How you doin', fellas?
This one goes out to Ballroom heroes, one no longer with us
Last but not the least, this one goes out to
He's a legend in the bar with every scar
Fights a thousand, bigger men, hey, hey, hey
Now he fights and loses, got all the bruises
Will someone please step in?
'Cause this Irish fools got a great, big heart
He keeps climbin' back in to the ring, hey, hey, hey
In the low down circles where he holds his court
This man he once was king
Could he listen, no, he won't, that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
But the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this fool from dying
Could he listen, no, he won't, that's all she wrote
He'll be dead before the daylight shines
But the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this fool from dying.
yah!!!!
love and miss you Rick Stroud our barroom hero
Mike, Rick, Matt, and Ken…so long ago. This was the best DM lineup, in my opinion.
Boy, is my woman who is sleeping in bed right now while it's 5:12 in the morning here in Montreal ever pissed as I'm drinking and cranking this tune out. Hahahahaha.
❣
🤘🍻
early years do my best... shit, where is this sound
Boston we Will Rock you Oi from new Schwabenland
Restrepo brought me here. Rest in peace warrior.
they did a REALLY good job on the ending of that movie
derek williams Yes they did. have you seen korengal? It's made from footage that didn't make it into Restrepo. Every time I hear this song now I think of Restrepo.
Those were good documentaries. I was in paktia province in 09-10. COP Herrera.
This goes out to the true micks who can destroy the loud mouths
Mike Mclogan
God yes
Does anyone know about that Bomb Squad jacket he is wearing?
I already drove 900 miles to see these guys live twice in 2023. I`m the car room hero.
I actually prefer mcColgans voice. For dropkick murphys songs now, I'd prefer to hear Ken Casey's vocals then Al Barrs. I don't know why. I just do. I like McColgan's band Street Dogs too.
So nice that you tell us about your feelings
Reminds of the departed great fucken movie
yeah since he left i mostly listen to streetdogs ^^ and the good old do or die album
I wore their TShirts for years at my warehouse career.
dkm was always and will.always be a bad ass band. esp being Irish and I Irish makes em even better. good ol Irish punk rock
I taught my 3 sons this song. They punch the air on the HEY HEY HEYs. Proper Irish lads
