Re: whiskey in the jar

No, but if you check Youtube, there are versions of it out there that claim to show you how to play it.

You'd best be trolling.

Oh, sorry, let me translate for the mustard.

This is a wind up, right?

Re: whiskey in the jar

I think I'm going to take up a new position, as of now.
It may even be to the liking of people like llig.
Croxton; learn to use your ears. Someone who needs a third party to write it out, so they can copy it note for note, is no musician.

Re: whiskey in the jar

Heh, if he learned to use his ears, he wouldn't want "Whiskey in the Jar," and certainly not Metallica's spin on it.

Re: whiskey in the jar

Yes. Now come out of the bathroom already. We all know what you're doing in there. You're not fooling anyone. We saw you take Dad's Playboy magazine in there with you.

Re: whiskey in the jar

Ugh. For heaven's sake play the Thin Lizzy version. Phillo was the greatest and one of our own.

Re: whiskey in the jar

I have a funny feeling this request has something to do with the upcoming holiday. Just a hunch.

Re: whiskey in the jar

you're right what was I thinking. Does anybody have Thin Lizzy's version? I Know this is off topic but when singing diiddle-dee diddle-dum does the emphasis land on the diddle, the dee or the dum?

# Posted on March 8th 2010 by croxton

Re: whiskey in the jar

The dum. Always the dum. Unless you're really .... well ... dum...

Re: whiskey in the jar

I don't care what anyone says. Lizzy is traditional. Cos I said so. So there.

# Posted on March 8th 2010 by tradshark

Re: whiskey in the jar

I'm just gonna say that Metallica's version is awesome. Right up there with Trans Am doing Wildwood Flower for my favorite reinterpretations of traditional songs.

Steven Downey would kick Lars Ulrich's ass. Thin Lizzy all the way.

Re: whiskey in the jar

Does anyone know where I can find the tab for Megadeath's version of "Spancil Hill?"

# Posted on March 8th 2010 by Jimmy B

Re: whiskey in the jar

Re: whiskey in the jar

I heard Black Flag play Danny Boy once

Re: whiskey in the jar

I would pay major ducats for a compilation CD of my favorite Speed Metal and Hardcore artists doing Irish ballads.

# Posted on March 8th 2010 by SWFL Fiddler

Re: whiskey in the jar

Croxton may actually be on to something - which one of you techy-computer nerds can come up with a decent version of something like Guitar Hero for but Irish music?

Anyone up for Button Box Hero? I'd love to fly through Bucks of Oranmore on a Wii....

Re: whiskey in the jar

One more question and I promise I'll stop. WTF is up with Michael Flatley's phony brough? Just wonderin. BTW Michael Flatley's phony brough would be a great name for a band I think I'm gonna buy the domain.

# Posted on March 9th 2010 by croxton

Re: whiskey in the jar

Phony brogue? or Phony brough? He's worked pretty hard on faking both in order to achieve commercial success.

Re: whiskey in the jar

I had a cousin once with a mono-brough. It took years of tweezing before she could finally claim two eye broughs - one over each eye. Quite embarrassing really.

Re: whiskey in the jar

curses spell checker you failed me again!

Re: whiskey in the jar

As to the earlier discussion - I think I preferred the Hayseed Dixies, or whatever they're called.
If you're gonna mix your genres.

Re: whiskey in the jar

The best version I ever heard was by Noel Murphy. I think he might have had 14 pints by the time he sang it and he let me play the harmonica with him. I bet he can't remember. I think one or two verses may have come round more than once. Good days, good days...

# Posted on March 9th 2010 by Steve Shaw

Re: whiskey in the jar

One of Noel's lps had the bar tab for the sessions printed on the back - it was quite astonishing.

I prefer the old adage - "you hum it, I'll smack your face in". Find it works when songs like this are requested :P
