God rest you Johnny Fean. Thanks for the amazing music!
One of the best rifts of all time.
Wow. Such an underrated band. Had a ticket for their last ever gig. Then feckin covid hit. Now it’s never gonna happen. So sad about that. Anyways guys, you gave such joy with your talent, and in the process taught so many young ppl in the 70s more about Irish history than the schools ever did. Adh mor agaibh go leir. X
I had one for Langton's in kilkenny & again fucking covid put pay to it😬
same here but for St Columb's hall in Derry
Damn
Here we go, underrated RUclips's most used descriptive word. I'm sick of it!🤮
@@seltaeb3302 poor you
Cant understand how this hasn't millions of fews
Much that is good seldom gets attention
Because people are idiots! This band was important to Celtic music.
@@taurotar I dunno i guess its for irish people ..:)
These were my favorite band when I was growing up as a seventies kid. I loved them and I have never grown out of them. I was sorry to hear of Johnny Fean's death last year a couple of months after my little sister Clare. RIP both of them. Thank you for all the brilliant music.
Saw them 78,reduced to doing the dreadful dancehall circuit. Fountain bleu in longford. Their spark was gone but they still did a tight set, had the crowd rockin".
Was at there last gig ...hi pat hairy still kicking 😂
Seen horslips on a few occasions simply magnificent .
A riff based off of O'Neill's March that would go onto to inspire the greatest football theme of all time!
Sir, there is not many, if any would have a clue of what you said there. Well said! 👍👌👏
Put them under pressure
come on...you gotta spill the beans? What football theme?
@@JCMcGee Nessum dorma...
@@YewrMan It's pronounced "Hail, Hail"
Great band my brother liked them played them non stop during the troubles and now i play them
Even after all these years, ye are able to rise the hairs at the nape.
Fair play to ye, lads, now and always.

Well, that's the most poetic comment I'll read on You Tube this week
I love this band! The bassist is so cool I love what he is wearing!I love the silver hand and jewellery!!from Shaz in the uk
Much underrated
Listening in Berlin🇩🇪 June 2021
This song inspired my to buy 'The Tain' in 1974 age 17.
Love the silver hand, Charles!
"a very underrated band of the 70's and 80's."-😎📻🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁..
Underrated? Not at all. Not if you were alive in the 1970's and saw them live and bought their albums...
@@Driver2616 I think maybe cuz a lot of people who were kids in the 70s and aren't Irish, have never heard of The Horslips or heard their music. I heard them for the first time 2 yrs ago, and I've been playing guitar since 1979... anyway.. 😎🤘🕊
@George Duffy i will. thanx fer the tip. i was bought up on weird music frm all over the world so experimental duznt really register... BBubububut..when i first 'knowingly' heard the horslips i.e. not in a cider induced dope smoking teenage coma subconciously aware of Gong etc... to my mind Horslips reminded me slightly of the incredible string band. 🎙😎 🎸🌌🌠🎶
They certainly weren't underrated in Ireland....(and still aren't!) Every venue they ever played was jammed wall-to wall with sweaty teenagers listening to our old traditional tunes being played in a new and exciting way...
Wow! I remember this TOTP clip! I still have THE TAIN on vinyl! Great album.
I think it's the ogwt
That was The Old Gray Whistle Test not TOTP and in those days TOTP would`ve stood for Tribe of the Pedo`s
I stand corrected! I do remember a TOTP clip tho, and that music chart show was essential viewing back in the day! We loved it. It's been awful finding out about Saville and the rest...a real stain on that decade of immense music greats!
@@Deedee-ee1sg it was the only chart show on TV at the time, whole lotta love was the music they used for the chart countdown but it was played by a band called C.C.S.the Whistle Test was on but that was on late and usually live so ran on sometimes, totp is where I seen Queen do bohemian rhapsody when it was shown for the first time ever I was about 6 maybe 7 but that's when music found me been with me ever since, still remember as a kid, Suzi Quatro, slade, T-Rex and all that stuff, later in the 70's probably 77/78 my dad would let me stay up late and watch the Whistle Test with him, I would have been 10 or 11, still remember it, sorry I went on a ramble, the Whistle Test and TOTP could be easily mixed up especially from that era 👍😎
HARP.
.A GREAT PINT. AND MADE THIS BAND . MAD BUT TRUE
Charles O'Connor's hair is one of the pillars of the universe.
Rip Johnny… 😢
Great track. Very unique.
Bloody brilliant!
One of my lifetime favourite bands
Thanks lads 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂😂
Great music Great band went to see in my home town of navan co meath Ireland
Happy to meet sorry to part. The song furniture. The Tain. The two albums that mafe this band stand out from the crowd. I haven't seen that clip from the old gtey whistle test before, now it's on my favourites list. Great band live.
First track I heard by them on John Peel. That was it, fucking sold. Awesome band.
Sempre atual!! Que banda, desde a minha juventude! ETERNOS!!!
As soon as I heard of my nephew’s birth in stab city, I made a playlist with this as the first track. He’s going to grow up hearing Ireland’s finest rock and roll 👌
Such a great song. Fabulous playing & a superb feel. I love it.
Excellent!
oh and super bass lines!!
ahead of its time
Great Irish band my first time seeing them was in the RDS ballsbridge dublin with Declan Sinnot a fantastic guitarist what a band before their time Rory Gallagher Thin lizzy boomtown rats U2 so many other's
Deserve more attention
Memorable classic 🎼
Brilliant!!!💚
Obsessed!
Legendary
So wonderful, hard rocking, but Gaelic.
This song sounds so Irish it turned my coffee into Whiskey
Song of the pride of North Belfast
And west Beal Feirste!
The whole album The Tain was brilliant. It was a rock version of the Tain Bo Cuiailnge, better known as the Cattle Raid of Cooley. My favourite track on this LP was always Ferdia’s song where the great Irish hero Cuchulainn kills his best friend Ferdia.
AMAZING RIFT.
Thanks to the late great Jack Charlton this tune is now immortalised
My mate Glenn introduced me to you. Glad he did, excellent song. sub'd.
Brilliant not dated cool guitar
That small/mini bagpipe is genius.
Uileann pipes! Irish version of bagpipes. No mouthpiece used.
@@patoconnell37 Aha! Good to know.^^ Thanks for letting me know what that was. It reminded me a bit of this with Vietnamese high-fret guitar ruclips.net/video/_nTTyxdPpr0/видео.html
Also, what was that weird grey/silver hand about? Any insights would be appreciated.
It's the silver hand of the Irish God Nuada, or Lugh of the Silver Hand
Genius ❤🍀💚
Anybody spot the silver hand of the lead-singer? Alludes to Nuada Argetlám of Irish mythology...
I know I saw that I love d earg doom
I saw that
Ok
is dearg doom nuada or cuchulainn ?
@@silverkitty2503 According to Last.fm - '"Dearg Doom" translates roughly as "Red Destroyer". It is in reference to Irish mythical warrior Cúchulainn - meaning "Hound of Ulster". A name he inherited as a reparation for killing a wolfhound. The song is a take on the Irish folk tune written for battle: O'neills cavalry/march. The track is from the album "The Tain" referencing Táin Bó Cúailnge (The Cattle Raid of Cooley) which tells the story of a cattle raid in the middle of a War between Ulster and Connaught. The hero of this story was Cúchulainn.
What a great song! Seems based off O'Neill's March?
Brilliant
That riff is a tricky wee bugger
Obviously a big influence on Phil lynott
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
so amazijng. and udareted
Horslips - Best. Band. Ever.
Very, very, very closely followed by The Stranglers.
Éirinn go brách! ☘
And correct spelling too... More power to ye.
@@astraldruid3476 Ah sure, I am trying to keep the language going anyway I can. Cheers!
@@VirtualGuerilla89 good man, have it on a tattoo on my arm, and the amount of times I've been told it should be 'erin go bragh', ah well
@@astraldruid3476 we need to properly educate people like that 😂
Listening in Luhansk🇷🇺 April 2023
oops!..forgot say greatest riff ever!
Singer looks like Lemmy
Some say John Fean is a guitar with a humans body.
I'd come back from town hic, after a good night hic out, put on the telly & find BBC 2 & OGWT & bleery eyed see this & wtf is this hic lot..
It's a banging tune from a great Irish band although the lead singer is from Middlesbrough and has connections with Whitby. Not heard the album, sounds like it's worth a listen. Surprised this band weren't bigger in the Seventies
The album is definitely worth a listen.
The Táin.
He sings the Irish language perfect though lol
The Táin (pronounced Tawn; it's Irish for cattle- raid (or herd, depending on the context) was Horslips 3rd. album and yes, they remain my favourite band of all time. If you're lucky enough to get a vinyl (yep, VINYL) copy, disengage the record-player clutch/speed control at the very, very end of 'Time to Kill' (final track, side 2) and run it backwards (using light pressure via your finger) - great! Enjoy!
An English music journalist once opined that if they had released their albums in a different order, they would have been bigger than U2 (but not as irritating, natch).
And still you dare to flaunt yourself at me
Slogh Feg does a damn good cover
In thes strange times we need more of this vote NO
Anyone hear the band CIRCULUS around 2001?
Tocatta converted to rock is class......
On the d earg of doom on the d earg of doom on the d earg of doom
are these guys irish because if they are atleast somone lives in me country
Um, yeah -- they used a lot of Irish themes & tunes. First 2 albums are _very_ clearly Irish in inspiration & spectacular: Book of Invasions & Aliens.
Class 🙄
Preferred the version with Stonehenge and the dwarfs.
its in the text
The singer did the one glove thing before Michael Jackson.
I am a Heffernan!!
Seems like they dubbed the record over the OGWT live video performance? BBC copyright avoidance perhaps?
I think it's original but not matched up correctly
I think you're right. The audio is certainly the original studio recording and not a live take
It could also be pre-recorded by the BBC - they had a practice at the time on OGWT of recording the instruments and then filming with live vocals over the pre-recorded instrumental tracks
Yeah i noticed during the solo he wasn't playing...so sounded dubbed
I'm dearg
wait a minute are you sure you got the video from bbc old grey..?
Cliftonville fc
Thanks Avicii ❤️
Don't pick your nose, Johnny. [1:53] At least PRETEND you're playing live!! :)
😂😂 never spotted that before...!!
Why should you pretend to play live, when the BBC won't let you play live
Why does his guitar sounds like a 12 string?
Use your eyes the electric mandolin is playing the same rift at that moment in time along side the guitar
A mime job sadly
How can you sing live, when the BBC won't let you, you muppet.
Pity not live
Wakey! wakey!, no band or singer was aloud to play live on the BBC at that time.
I think they are miming.... just saying.
they did not mine in their live concerts!!! Out of this world performers and musicians live!
How dare thee!
Probably had to mimic if it was TOTPs. T'was the law
They had no choice the BBC didn't allow any one to sing live at that time.
i kinda fuck with that ngl
This is weird, something wrong...
Godawful.
Aren't ya!
@@milkymoo8252 👏👏👏
Bruh
"Godawful"
i agree. if I had to listen to this for 15 minutes I'd leap out of my apartment window. horrendous 😂
@@Jack-hy1zq Why would you listen to it looped for 15 minutes? I like it and I'd have turned it over at 4 minutes. Before I judge you. Are you into self flagellation?
