Now this is how rock and roll should be played, i’m glad these guys are getting recognition in the states because they blow radio rock bands out of the water

Agreed
This is one of the few songs where I prefer to listen to the live version
They are absolutely on fire here.
No words. Absolutely perfect
This utterly BRILLIANT
When the guitar cut out, they knew this take was screwed, so they went all in and said "let's tear this place up!" and it made the whole performance even more powerful and real. These guys have come to single-handedly save music and I am here to cheer them on!
Is there really anything better than this? This is the musical equivalent of GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN!
This is a band I really want to see,!
Now that is what I call a fuckin’ tune.
this is man's music,wow you f****** that was ace ,Co Tipperary lreland 🇮🇪 ☘
The bassist is the safest man I’ve ever seen 😂
This is absolutely amazing
I'hammered and this is just...…………………..jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezeeeeeeeee
New generation, good and old rock!
Saw this amazing band supporting Shame at 02 Academy Leicester ......WOW !!!!!!!

Did it ever leave Dublin? The biggest creator of all this is poetic and using the English language to her ultimate. Nothing new here folks. Just another great band from Dublin.

It's saying how this person "spits out" the words 'Brits out' in a sense of anglophobia. "Only smokes Carrolls" refers to how he only smokes Irish cigarettes in his wanting to be a pure Irishman.
there's a Gloria riff in there )))
