Mead? I'd be in there like a shot!

Rose Tattoo go back a long way (twenty years before the Dropkicks). I do like Dropkick Murphys. Some of their stuff like "Who Will Stand With Us" is superb.

Rose Tattoo did have a fair bit of influence on Guns'n'Roses though - including them doing a cover of Nice Boys.

Of course we can't discuss the folks down under without accidentally mentioning the Wiggles and Fruit Salad

All the best,

No one currently in the lounge (16.15) I'll try again this evening, currently drowning any sign of sorrow with a glass of mead.

I certainly hope that someone else ventures into the lounge this evening to add a little brightness to your day.

The last few have been interesting but have strayed beyond that which I might listen to.

Dropkick Murphys - I quite like the music but the vocals aren't my cup of tea.

Great music. I saw Rose Tattoo and thought someone else had heard of the Dropkick Murphy's. Here's my favourite song of theirs, "Rose Tattoo" , which actually made me go and get one..... My mum's name was Rose, it's my wife and grandmother's middle name, so what else could I do...?

Enjoy

Merry Christmas to everyone from the left coast of Canada.

I don't post much at the moment, but I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you all, and that this forum is a real bright spot for me.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day

Avoiding Christmas songs as best I can 

Still one of my all time favourite songs, superb lyrically and incredibly simple musically (which means I can actually play it on guitar )
