listen to that... I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard that... this is SOOOOO going into iTunes... I have to find a way to get these guy's CD. Apparently CDs are only 10 bucks... I think I might be ordering a few. Wow.... I love this... it's like...
Then again... I'm scottish... but still... wow... this has like made my night...

Zaphod · Aug 25, 2005, 01:59 AM

Reminds me of Flogging Molly... Except not good.

Salty · Aug 25, 2005, 02:02 AM

I think I'm in love... I gota play this for my dad... he likes bag pipes but... hahaha... oh wow...

Chuckit · Aug 25, 2005, 02:09 AM

So…a less cool version of Dropkick Murphys? Seriously, either the recording was really lousy or they're not as good, but either way, I heard the sound years ago and enjoyed it better then.

Salty · Aug 25, 2005, 02:25 AM

They're a local band from Detroit.

It's not supposed to be good musically... it's freaking punk with bag pipes! Do you honestly think that the type of people that decide to put bag pipes in a punk song are going to worry about recording quality. That's like expecting a Macromedia application to not look like a bad windows port!

tracemhunter · Aug 25, 2005, 02:28 AM

yea... we have heard this all before.

Okay, then they just suck more than Dropkick Murphys (and, as Zaphod mentioned, Flogging Molly), who do that and sound awesome. I was trying to be generous, man. Mainly I'm surprised that you've never heard bagpipe rock before. It's fun.

Which reminds me, I have no music from either of those bands in my iTunes library on this computer. I need to do something about that.

You should also add some Flatfoot 56... I hear they're awesome.

Warung · Aug 25, 2005, 07:32 AM

Congratulations.

I've been listening to this kind of music since the early 80s.

Timeline please.

Kevin · Aug 25, 2005, 07:54 AM

Sometimes I think you should just put a bullseye on your head Salty.

LilWolfChokingOnCigs68 · Aug 25, 2005, 07:56 AM

Sorry. Jesus freaks won't ever be cool.

Randman · Aug 25, 2005, 08:09 AM

So, this band is doing something that others have been doing for longer and better?

My goodness indeed.

Let me say it again, for the record: Most (most = 99.9%) Christian music is NOT innovative.

Forgiven? Oh you must be talking about God 2.0, not the one that murdered thousands of people and believed in genocide. God 1.0 was a real bastard, 2.0 is pretty nice though. He has a lot of good messages that I agree with... too bad it's hard to take him seriously considering what he did when he was still 1.0.

It's always funny listening to people who have no understanding of scripture belittle Christians based on events in the OT (which are taken out of context to begin with). The fact that you don't know the difference between Elohim and Adonai speaks volumes.

Isn't this like the 10th "Christian Music thread is awesome" thread by superchicken?

chris v · Aug 25, 2005, 10:26 AM

There is no way, no how, that bagpikes can, like ever, rock.

Some things just Do. Not. Rock. Zithers, Autoharps, Glockenspiels, Accordions, and most of all, Bagpipes.

Blech.

Shall we count the number of iPod accessory threads you started with "LIKE, TOTALLY The UGLIEST iPod ACCESSORY EVAR!!!11!!!1 FOR SURE!!!" in it?

He is extremely interested in Christian music. You are obsessed with ugly iPod accessories.

Game.
Set.
Match.

budster101 · Aug 25, 2005, 10:34 AM

Accordions can rock.

Two.

Not to mention I am trying to push someone into crappy religious music.

Everybody be really quiet, and you'll hear the world's smallest violin playing just for the majority of the civilized world!

Holy cow that song was a total mess. It sounds like a combination of Fat Bastard with that "I get knocked down, so I get up again" song with some crap from the bible thrown in.

Now that is innovative.

Oh my god! I heard this band really rocked, in a good Christian sense. And I don't mean Pentecostal either.

Sometimes you just need a little. "Mmm Chaka Mmm Chaka Mmmmmmmm".

yea. good like finding a christian thread without the word "awesome" or "rocks" in it. those are the two most common adjectives used among christians.

What is funny is, you've been told how that goes. Many times.

yet you repeat it.

That awesome observation rocks!

tracemhunter · Aug 25, 2005, 12:12 PM

no it doesnt. it means you need a larger vocabulary. that is one of the main reasons i stopped going to church. that and i think there should be more preaching and less singing.

Now, see, I'm the opposite. I like the singing. That down-home, feel it in your gut, "black" holiness, pew jumpin stuff. Preaching is fine, but everyone knows not to bone their neighbor's wife, or shoot their kids. If they haven't applied it by now, they're likely never going to "get it". Church is for celebrating too, not just feeling the "wrath of God".

Randman · Aug 25, 2005, 12:27 PM

A good gospel choir is something to enjoy and be thankful for. The group SaltyChicken recommends is not.

tracemhunter · Aug 25, 2005, 12:34 PM

i can deal with a choir but not the guy/girl during the offering who thinks he can sing. the church my parents go to is like half music half preaching. i would be happier with 1/4 music 3/4 preaching.
