@billbove7304 which is pretty cool considering he has been sober for like 20+ years or something like that. He does alot of work in the recovery community.
I love these guys. I saw them a week before Going Out in Style came out, and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. It was a small venue in Chicago that was filthy inside, but my god was that a fun night. Beer was flying the entire show and although I didn't drink I came home smelling like beer. These guys are great. They're such bros.
great listening to these old stories from this band. should be more questions and a longer segment when you get hold of these guys, can listen to them for hours man. lets go murphys!!
Love that "The Factory" was brought up. That's where I discovered DKM when they opened up the "Boston Invasion" tour with The Ducky Boys, The Cuffs and The Bosstones (headliner).
DKM has always been and treated the Northeast and myself as they seem. Honest,Loyal and all around solid crew. You can never fake Honesty and that they all are!
My friends and I got to meet Ken after a show in Nashville. He was funny and gracious. I always loved the Murphys but they went even higher in my estimation.
Philadelphia boy right here and LOVE they know the old electric factory and about south street. The Starbucks they’re talking about is on the corner of 4th and south caddy corner from Jim’s cheesesteaks. I can’t wait to see dropkick again! My second favorite city next to philly is Boston and always will be. 🤘🏻🍀
About 10 years ago as a 16 year old I saw Murphys play a small club in my town. I got up onstage at the end, busted a rib, was accidentally punched in the face by my own friend in the pit, and fell down with everyone on broken glass at the end of Barroom Hero. I managed to snag the set list and get Ken to sign it for me afterwards outside the venue, to which I obviously said “Thanks man that was the greatest fucking show I’ve ever seen.” His response “You oughta get out maw.” I fucking love these dudes even if I don’t listen to the new stuff as much. You can tell they have so much heart.
Ike Beelzebum face down in the gutter wont admit defeat thought clothes are soiled and black hes a big strong man with a child act dont you take his booze away HEY
Dropkick Murphys are great, they're one of the more interesting rock acts, even for a punk rock band. I actually have liked them a long time but I always assumed they were Irish. Or pirates.
Been following these Boston bar room heroes since they first played Detroit. That fireman rumor lead to a couple arguments! Still have my DM scally cap in grey and everyone wanted to trade me for their green ones. 1.) I'm not Irish. 2.) Everyday is not St Patty's Day.
There's this really nice video that just went up a few weeks ago, Dropkick Murphys went to this 3 year old who has cancer's house and performed for him. It was really, really nice, if you wanna go watch it.
If you have experienced Dropkick Murphys - live and in person. Please do so before it’s too late. Please. Trust me, it will change your life and your experience will not be forgotten. There is a powerful sense of brotherhood and celebration that cannot be described with words. ✌️
Man, everyone says this, but (and especially after watching this) they say it for a reason: I'd totally love to throw back some beers with the Dropkick dudes!
@@G.F.Browning _I was dead raggin, kiid!_ 😂 Translation for anyone who reads this: _It's a joke._ I'm Boston born, Boston bred, and when I die- I'll be Boston dead. 🤘
I saw the Bruisers @ The Elvis Room in Portland, Maine with Big Meat Hammer.. I think it was 96 or 97.. We did the Rocket chorus line with both band's on stage.. I think there might have been 7 people there.. Both bands killed it though.... FUCKING SLAYED!!!
Fun TRUE story My local record store is owned by Als best friend and I was in one day and he came in and they started doing some business and I'm thinking to myself "Christ he looks familiar but who the hell is he?" and after they do their stuff maybe ten fifteen minutes he says "Al can you sign this stuff?" and I immediately went "HOLY SHIT that's fucking AL BARR!" and I went up to him and I said "Dude! Your Al Barr!" and looks up smiles and goes "Yeah last time I checked." I'm like damn man Als got jokes and I asked him if we could take a picture and he said sure but only if I didn't sell it for Leftwing propaganda and I told him it was to make my buddy jealous and he smiled and said absolutely let me finish signing this stuff up.
I mean...there was internet in 98 but it was expensive and slow as anything (I'd say this video at full quality would take anywhere from 30 minutes to a full hour to load on late 90s/early 2000s high speed internet. At least for general consumers)
It was great to see a non "metal" group on. And Dropkick kick ass!
And greg graffin from bad religion
@@Pazuzu82 That was later but still your not wrong.
@Nah Halls they had Paul cook, not the whole sex pistols
They've had quite a few punk groups on the show
is it true that mick jones actually stole your pudding? lol
Love, love, love this series. Every episode is always so interesting!
They should have been interviewed in the nearest Irish pub.
@Kev Mcd They could get wicked bah-bacue.
Ken owns McGreeveys Sports Bar in the shadow of Fenway.
You know it's "should have", and not "should of". This made me happy.
Ua 412 here

Such a good time at the show with them and Rancid, I've never seen such big smiles in the pit.

It would be insanely cool to see one of these with Henry Rollins
Joe Allen or Jello Biafra
Jello Biafra would be a great episode!
GG Allin
@@winniemirret2237 it would be a little difficult to get GG Allin in for an interview.
@@JasonL77 may be in next life)
Keep bringing punk rock musicians, please!
This is the best interview you have done. Love these guys. Always put you in a good mood.
great listening to these old stories from this band. should be more questions and a longer segment when you get hold of these guys, can listen to them for hours man. lets go murphys!!

I love these. Could you guys see if you can get Lordi on here for this? That would be amazing!
It is so good to see the band in a good mood during the interview :-D
OMG one of my favourite bands!!
I pissed myself at Ken's karaoke story. I bet he's got a whole bunch more awesome stories like that.
That'd be amazing to see Rancid on here.
love dropkick Murphys!
Who doesn't? Oh yeah, losers!

Nothin but love for Philly. I know exactly what Starbucks you’re talking about. Next time you’re at Tattooed Moms have a drink for me brotha.
@@20TheGame09 will do 🥃
I think this is the most funny episode i have seen so far
I'm failing tomorrow's test anyway
Me too, bro me too :)
***** i envy you
Ditch the test. Go to one of their concerts and go straight into a mosh pit.
That's the most cheerful and genuine WFOF I've seen so far.
This wasn't long enough... I could listen to more stories frome these guys.
AWESOME!!! Love the Dropkick Murphys!!! Would have loved to be there!!!

Telling that governor "We _LITERALLY_ hate you!!!" is the most Boston thing to say! 😂
That moment when your dad played with a band before they got famous and left right before they were famous
Superguy77777 who's your dad?
@@Pinebrookjohn75 Superguy77777 sr.
Wow, thats still pretty cool

one of the greatest things from Massachusetts is this band
Great to see Al, or anyone, wearing a Runnin’ Riot shirt! RIP Colin.
This is the best Wiki you guys have done. These guys are hilarious.
Ayy barroom hero was what got me into Dropkick. I'd like to see some other punk bands on this.

COLIN RIOT RIP
For those of you that don't know Running Riot check them out.....
Belfast punk baby

The U.S. needs more Dropkick Murphys.

Cody M. Maybe 20 years ago...
Holy crap Ken was born in my home town Pittsfield! I was really not expecting that.
Man, everyone says this, but (and especially after watching this) they say it for a reason: I'd totally love to throw back some beers with the Dropkick dudes!
Oh I remember cassettes AL lol. I rocked the cassette Walkman for years
Has the Clash and Joe Strummer influenced every band? Hell yes they have!
can you guys do one of these with King Diamond???
Damn
I was at that show at the Elvis Room in 98!
Love the shoutout to Dr. Billy Moonbeam
Totally awesome guys!

Hearing Al and Ken talk about Joe made the hair on my arms stand up.
Gotta love the Boston accent
I shed a tear with the Joe strummer story

You'wa watchin' loud wiya. Now go get a bowl ah' clam chowda. It's wicked good.
Awesome band choice! Besides metal of all kinds and political punk, I love celtic punk too
I love Boston accents; makes me miss the town so much..
"And you're watchin' Loud-wiya".
I think the best one of these would have been with Johnny Ramone.
Wrastlin' and Boxing; love it..
You're watchin' Loudwiah!!!
Ken Casey should have a reality show
Barroom hero was your first song? That's the reason I started listening to this band big strong man with a child's mind

i pissed myself when i found out they did this. also, first comment!
Still you did better than me, I fainted when I saw "Dropkick Murphys - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?" in my notification box.
Loudwire to self destruct
10:50 Such a great moment. 😂
I love that Al doesn't fake having a Boston accent

So what's the true reason Mike left the band?
Whats up with Al ?
who knew the Dropkick Murphy's have so many connections to Philly , right on !
Amazing Grace has never been bettered than the version by the Dropkick Murphys.
Would be awesome to see a David Johansen fact or fiction
Awesome!
Some great boys there
Shout out to the Elvis Room.......Great place
Yo! Do a Fact or Fiction on Chevelle.
Holy crap. Casey was born in Pittsfield. Hm, wonder if he's related to Scott and Jeff.
Woah I had no idea Al sounds like this. That's so weird
He honestly reminds me of Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour
this might be the best one yet hahaha
My favorite barroom heroes right here.
U are both great
Bwaahaha!! Joe strummer? Good guy! Mick Jones? Pudding knicking bastard!!! Lmao
Al wearing a Runnin Riot shirt.

Loudwire: I went through your Wikipedia, and you are about as Irish as Ronald Macdonald.
From now on I'm gonna use "A very respectable jerkoff" as a mild insult XD
T in the Park in London🤔
Awesome Loudwire! I'd suggest Robb Flynn. That'd be good.
Please do one for The Amity Affliction
can you guys do a black stone cherry fact or fiction
