Dropkick Murphys
Dropkick Murphys
Has anyone ever been to a Dropkick Murphys concert? They're coming to my campus on Nov. 6 and I just bought tickets. If anyone's been to one before, what'd you think?

Re: Dropkick Murphys
I've seen 'em like 5 times now. Sometimes they're on fire and sometimes they're not so great. They usually try and put a little extra juice into their New England shows though, so it should be fun.
I never went and didn't have a good time.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Re: Dropkick Murphys
Yeah I've seen them a bunch of times too, it's a whole lot of fun and even if the band had an off night, you could be sure the crowd would make up for it. They still sounded great all the times I saw them though. Definately go.
Re: Dropkick Murphys
Get into the mosh pit and yell "Guns of Brixton" at every song break. Loud. Ad nauseum.
They'll either play it or bash you over the head with a guitar.
Either way, it's win-win for the crowd!

Re: Dropkick Murphys
Seen em a bunch. It's a fun show, even if theyre not on fire, what with the boozy fanbase and the along-singing. If it's your first DKM gig, you should be having a good time.

Re: Dropkick Murphys
I last saw them in 1997. Great show, Mike M was still singing. They're a different band now for sure but I'd go see 'em if I wasn't an angry old fart.threecoffins wrote:Seen em a bunch.

I saw them in 2000 in a huge converted barn-turned bar (with the Dwarves and Bouncing Souls) in Spartanburg, SC. They tore the place up. There were redneck punks and skins literally hanging from the 12-foot high rafters.

I've seen them a few times. The crowd made me feel a bit uneasy....

Hell, I am Irish and don't look it.
Black Irish, I guess.

Re: Dropkick Murphys
Saw them once and didn't care for them...they opened for the Sex Pistols in '03...I think the lead singer named his son "Strummer"...noyield wrote:Has anyone ever been to a Dropkick Murphys concert?

Re: Dropkick Murphys
Shit, I'd rather see the DKMs than the Pistols.
