With McColgan
"I went north to see the Stiff Little fingers play . . . Jake is the punkest dude I do declare . . . We fall down. SO GET UP NOW!"
I've been wanting to do one of their st paddy's day shows for like 15 years.I just got back from seeing them at HoB Boston for the St. Patrick's show. I've been a fan since I was 17 (I'm turning 38 in a few weeks).
Fucking Hatebreed was an opener and was a blast.
I'll edit this with favorite songs when I have actual time.
Fuckin do it man, I go every year. I snag tickets the day they go on sale in December it's so worth it.I've been wanting to do one of their st paddy's day shows for like 15 years.

I'll edit this with favorite songs when I have actual time. There's so many favorite. Only including one video
Green Fields of France (song hits me right in the feels)
Edit.
Echoes on A Street (also crushes me in the feels, about a Band members dog dying)
Barroom Heros (their first song)
State of Massachusetts
The Dirty Glass (I love Stephanie)
Finnegans Wake
Skinhead on the MBTA
No one agrees to that. It is common knowledge that the first Dropkick album is their best by far. And the Street Dogs are better than them now. They've turned into a minstrel act dancing a jig playing up Irish stereotypes.Both great songs, but I think Al Barr was a better fit for DKM than Mike McColgan.
Do you mean vocally or just style wise? I think Mike had the better vocals. I like some of Al's stuff, but sometimes his voice is just too harsh and kills the song for me. I bought a couple albums with Al singing, but i still like the full length with Mike singing best. It's been awhile since i bought one of their albums, though.Both great songs, but I think Al Barr was a better fit for DKM than Mike McColgan.

I don't agree with that at all. The Meanest of Times, The Warrior's Code, Blackout, Sing Loud Sing Proud, and Signed and Sealed in Blood were all much better albums than Do or Die.
This is madness . Do or die and gangs all here are the best by a mile those later ones all kind of lost something as they became a bigger band. But I was a teenager into being punk as fuck when those albums came out so i have a stronger connection to them so take it with a grain
