Irish folk with punk energy and attitude, what’s not to love. Great reaction.
The Young Dubliners, a not dissimilar Irish band, did a good version of this song on their album "with all due respect - the irish sessions". I've never been to a Pogues concert, but I heard/seen the Young Dubs a couple times.
@@stephensmith3111 sounds good I’ll check them out.
@@Hartlor_Tayley Their album "Saints and Sinners" is also recommended for their punk side: kick ar..., ehr, donkey (keep it family friendly in this public forum) and take names.
They were heavily influenced by punk. The vocalist, Shane MacGowan, was previously in a punk band called the Nipple Erectors. The band's name comes from the expression Pogue Mahone which is the anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my ar*e".
Lyrically I love the Pogues "Thousands are Sailing" - an amazing song about Irish immigration. Of course the music is perfect Pogues.
You are right the Pogues are a sort of Irish Folk/Punk fusion band and are amazing, although they were not Irish but from London. I saw them live in 1989 in Birmingham, England, they were sensational the roadies came on and put an open bottle of Jack Daniel's next to to each microphone stand, once this was done and the band came out, but one roadie still remained on stage he stood next to Shane MacGowan and his job was to pick up the microphone every time Shane dropped it, he was a very busy boy, however Shane never missed a lyric they were that well practiced it was unforgettable.
The Pogues "The Sickbed Of Cuchulainn" & "Dirty Old Town"
The album of the same name was probably their high point. Two songs in particular I'd recommend from it are "Bottle of Smoke" and "Fairytale of New York" (one of my favorite Christmas songs ever).
I came across this in a random search. Love the energy and authenticity.
Yup, the Pogues were the start of Gaelic Punk; there'd be no Dropkick Murphys or Rumjacks had there been no Pogues. By all means try "Sick Bed of Cuchulainn", "Body of an American", or "And the band Played Waltzing Matilda."
Sounds like a wild time in an Irish pub. Love all the instruments I'm hearing. Pretty good.
Great band, great reaction. Would love to see more reactions to them
A pair of brown eyes is a great song to react to
The Band Played Waltzing Mathilda. You'll go on a lyrical deep dive with that one.
I wouldn't mind listening to more.
thanks.
And the band play waltzing Matilda is a must. The story of an australian soldier who was send to Turkey to fight in the first world war. A brutal song about war.
If you like this you probably would enjoy Great Big Sea "Ordinary Day" or Spirit of the West "Home for a rest" or the Oyster Band "Hal-An-Tow".
I've seen a big lot of bands playing live, but their show in about 1986 was the best live performance I've ever attended. The raw energy made you throw yourself into the party relentlessly. They played the Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill album beforehand, which was brand new at that time, and everybody was hyped already when the Pogues entered the stage. And then everything broke loose - but in a funny and upbeat way.
"Dirty old town" or "a Pair of Brown Eyes" are nice ballads, Sally MacLennane has a faster pace.
But it isn't so much about single songs. I'd recommend to listen straight through the album "Rum Sodomy an the Lash", there is everything on there.
Oh, shiite, You have discovered The Pogues as well.. Their singer Shane McGowan is an absolutly brillinat lyricist, well in the category of Ian Curtis, Nick Cave or Lloyd Cole. I'll leave some space in that room for Morrissey of The Smithths as well. Some 80's stuff was so unique, 'though I didn't always realise it back then.r
Wow one of my all-time favorite bands the Pogues! Love you
Being of Irish descent, you can imagine how important these guys have been to me (and my people, lol!) LOVE that you have found them. So much to learn. Signing off with love and respect: Timothy Patrick!
You got it right initially with your instinct about Punk and Irisk folk. Shane first arrived on the punk scene in England, Sex Pistols era. The man has always had an awful drink problem, I've seen them twice. Once he was too drunk to perform and the other time he was amazing. As far as nationalism is concerned, you have to remember that the British caused a great deal of death and misery here over centuries. Therefore the line, 'This land was always ours..' is a statement of rebellion. The Pogues have many great tunes with great song writing. I would be remiss not to mention Ireland's greatest son and singer, Luke Kelly of the Dubliners. Check out him doing The Rocky Road to Dublin, an Irish proto-rap tune from the early 1970's and a great ballad called On Raglan Road.
I saw them live in their very early days and they were awesome! And yes Shane MacGowan is one of the most underrated song writers ever.
Slainte ( cheers )
I actually got into the Pogues when this song was used for a commercial - for a Subaru (with mother getting her kids to a hockey game, I think)
I saw them live in 88..It was a total blast.
At the song "Medley" (= 3 songs combined into one masterpiece) from that particular album the crowd went totally wild..(the crowd went wild through the whole concert but at that point was the absolute pinnacle) by the way singer Shane smoked 2 packages cigarettes and drunk a whole bottle of whiskey during the concert.
Shane MacGowan is the British-born son of Irish immigrants. The England in which he was born treated the Irish shabbily, and refused to consider English-born children as truly British. At the same time, MacGowan's extended family in Ireland, as did many other Irish, regarded the English-born second generation as British, not Irish. MacGowan grew up with the conflict of being British by birth but Irish by ancestry. He decided to celebrate Ireland in his music.
If you enjoy The Pogues, you might enjoy Dropkick Murphys, As for the hall of fame, Dolly didn't believe that she belongs, but Kate Bush (on the ballot this year) clearly did.
Fairytale of New York is an absolute classic and a must do at some point.
When the Pogues were big, there was still a civil war going on in Northern Ireland, so that's what a lot of their songs about.
They were incredible live! Not a song I would have picked to introduce their talents. A cautionary tale of Irish folk and punk, a true lyrical genius in Shane McGowan. Again perhaps not the best song to highlight this, Waltzing Matilda, Sick bed of Cuchulainn ( wicked live) or Fairytale of New York would be far better, be forewarned Waltzing Matilda is heartbreaking. Don't know why people insist on spilling their politics into the lyrics of others. Thanks for the review Daniel, hoping you'll follow this with one of the above one day. 🎶
Seconded!
Their version of "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is a good one, but it is a cover. The song was written by Eric Bogle in 1971 - and started off as pure folk.
First saw the Pogues on SNL years ago. The lead singer was utterly and absolutely drunk, and I couldn't understand the lyrics, but they were still cool.
It sounds like the music in old Disney movies like Snow White and Robin Hood.
Haha I didn't expect that (reaction to Pogues). I'm a big fan, it's a very interesting band. Shane is a big friend of Nick Cave and they did a cover of What a Wonderful World with video, that's how I knew him..
It sounds like a punk gig
It seems like going to a Clash gig
But it’s Folk Music
B.Bragg 1988
Shane MacGowan is a songwriting genius, but a troubled soul with a serious alcohol problem.
Yeeeehaaaa
Gotta check out Body of an American or Fairytale of New York!
Manfred Mann's Earth Band As Above So Below ruclips.net/video/d5wbYnqWc90/видео.html
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Nightingales & Bombers - As Above So Below (1975)
"The title of this album was inspired by a recording made in Surrey, England during the Second World War, by an ornithologist intending to record Nightingales. The bombers flew over at the same time and were recorded by accident. The recording has been incorporated in 'As Above, So Below'". - Manfred Mann 1975[3] (In fact, the recording was made on May 1942 by a BBC sound engineer for the BBC. Intending to capture the nightingale's song he also, by accident, recorded the sound of RAF bombers on their way to attack Mannheim, Germany.)
Sounds more Cajun to me but anyway interesting ✌♥️
Try Body Of An American next...or Fiesta for something very different.
As Shane wrote the song is nearly over we may never find out what it means.
What?
Do "Fairytale of New York"
I was going to make a joke "Joe Strummer called. He wants his teeth back." Interestingly, I just learned that Joe Strummer actually was a band member at one point.
There's a doc by the same name about Shane. You should watch it.
7:05 I would say nationalist also, (also the verses should be interpreted in the context of Ireland wanting to be independent from England, even culturaly). But it's not like racism because Ireland is a very Catholic country (more than protestant which is a more English and US thing), so they don't believe in some kind of race or ethno-supremacism, but they also don't believe in giving their land and their tradition away. That's how I would put it. :)
Dive deeper please. Great band
I'm ready to go "Living In Another World" with Talk Talk Daniel. It seems like a long time since you played ''April 5th"! 😊
It should be up this friday
@@DiconDissectionalReactions Good news!
"I think my mom is "Irish"
He was an big supporter of the IRA.
T
Yeah, ethno-nationalism is right-wing nationalism as opposed to the liberty-seeking nationalism of the left (and The Pogues were 100% on the left and openly anti-racist).
