  • I love the sound of bagpipes!

    One of my favourite memories from childhood was watching Rowdy Roddy Piper come out at Summerslam 92 to do a song on the bagpipes.:D

    Im Scottish and not the biggest fan of bagpipes at all, although hearing amazing grace on them is pretty good.
    Something about them just stirs me in my heart :) Wonderful sound in my opinion.

    That's a sister's job! :D To remind you of all the embarrassing things that happened while you were growing up! :D

    And I love bagpipes. :)

    Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
    From glen to glen, and down the mountainside.
    The summer's gone, and all the roses falling.
    'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
    But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
    Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
    'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow.
    Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so.
    NOPE!!!

    Most amazing bagpipe moment . . . a lone piper standing on the top of a building with the sun is going down behind him playing the piper's lament. Below him the parade ground is full with all the soldiers standing at attention. Absolutely soul stirring and beautiful.

    such an annoying sound / instrument

    I don't like piccolos. They're too shrill. This on top of the fact that I really don't like flutes much either. :p:)

  • I love bagpipes. Although they make me think of funerals. There were bagpipers at my wedding, and at the weddings of all of my 5 brothers and sisters. They're always a highlight at the weddings

    Well, at least we have something in common. I'm mean, but only to bullies. In fact, I might start a thread about my favorite experience with a bully.

    Bad musicians in the métro at 8:30 in the morning.

    I'll take a 1000 bagpipes over a gypsy massacring Piaf with a clarinet.

    yes.
    people whining, in multiple threads, about their dislike for something that apparently others enjoy. : p i'll never understand why people bithc, bitch bitch about things they don't like simply b/c THEy don't like em. perhaps an inconvenience? such is life. don't try to piss on others' joys....life's too short. : )




    and honestly, i am not a fan of st. patty's nor any real love for bagpipes......but whateva........
    :) funny thing is... I was gonna post that bagpipes are Scottish anyway (since I assume, not a big leap considering all the anti Irish threads posted by J recently :) , that it was supposed to be a jab at us Irish)... but I just checked and they're EASTERN European... actually even Italy's included in there :) . It's pretty rare to hear the bagpipes anywhere in Ireland unless you go to a marching band competition... and I'm not really keen on those to be honest :cool:

    'Indeed in several different piping traditions today the bagpipe is played alongside a shawm-like instrument, in Brittany, Galicia, Italy, Aragon, Catalonia, Asturias, Istria, Bulgaria, Albania, Serbia, Macedonia.'

    'The earliest possible reference to a bagpipe occurs around 400 BC, when Aristophanes, the Athenian poet jibed that the pipers of Thebes (an enemy of Athens) blew pipes made of dogskin with chanters made of bone'

    Ya learn something new every day, eh? :)

    :D well done for getting through 2 hours of it... I'm surprised you watched at all :confused: thought you were ignoring the whole thing.

    I think we watched maybe 10 minutes of the parade and it was boring as fuck. That's not what Paddy's day's about :)

    Ah, I wouldn't go so far as to call J a bully... just cos 90% of his posts are solely intended to TRY and piss somebody off... doesn't make you a bully... unless you actually succeed... which he doesn't. And he fails miserably at being mean also, much as he tries :D bless his little Italian muffin man hates everything Irish soul :D
