ya good band for a **** up and good for the auld listen. wouldnt say much more though I do have a lot of their stuff.
charlie and the bhoys quality rebel band. do great versions of all rebel songs.
What ye think of them? They're playing in Sligo next month, always a good band for a **** up.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
A decent band,apart from the over-nationalistic rebel sh*te!!
The only reason I wouldn't have them banned is because I believe in free speech.
So they should be free to spout their murder and murderer-glorifying hate filled muck.
Worth noting that if there was a thread on say, a Norn Iron supporters forum about the Wolfe Tones loyalist mirror image Platoon (and I mean mirror image -right down to the chavvy urban redneck handle bar moustache action) it'd be held up as incontravertable evidence of what a bunch of sectarian bigots they are.
But with ours ...sure it's only a bit of craic isn't it.

ya, whats that about, I remember the first time I went to see them in the Lord Nelson, and all these fellas with slick back hair and handle bar moustaches, it was a rather frightening experience, cos it felt like at any stage a huge fight would erupt.right down to the chavvy urban redneck handle bar moustache action
Btw Lionel, where do they state about killing protestants or presbyterians or masons or whatever?? in fairness songs such as
you know us by our noise
where up to our necks in fenian blood is far more hate filled and sectarian than any wolfe tones song i know or have listened to.

That's whataboutery in fairness Paul. And just because themmuns have songs that are "more hate filled" doesn't make the WTs stuff any less filled with hate itself.Originally Posted by paul_oshea
We'll fight them British Soldiers for the cause
We'll never bow to Soldiers because
Troughout our history We were born to be free
So get out British *******s leave us be
Hmmm ...lovely.

ya fair point, but where in that song does it say anything about killing or reveling in blood.
i dont think you can put them on the same level of obscenity and vulgarism

Paul, I'm not arsed quoting any more lyrics from them as sooner or later someone'll accuse me of being selective and taking them out of context.
Google them yourself if you're unfamiliar with their stuff.
A lot of it's just plain dreadful poetry inspired by cornflakes box history...but plenty of it is quite ugly indeed.
I see no difference between what they do and what Klan Kountry bands or Nazi Skinhead bands like Six Million More do. It's incitement to hatred -plain and simple.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
i am completely familiar with their stuff lionel, why would you think otherwise?
anyhow doesnt matter.

The Tones dont sing Go On Home, I dont think.Originally Posted by Lionel Ritchie
Eire OG, Sibeen,the Old Brigade etc are far more hardcore.
<insert witty remark>
are they back together again?? i thought they had split up ?? is this the real wolfe tones ? or only the provisional wing ;-)
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
Agree 100%.Originally Posted by BohsBohsBohs
Was at one of the gigs whilst visiting cousins in dublin about 4 or 5 years ago. their very good a what they do, but I have never any compulsion to go to one of their gigs as the majority crowd they attract are idiots. Most of who don't have any clue about the histroy of the country.

It's the Continuity Wolfe TonesOriginally Posted by RogerMilla
Ceci n'est pas une signature
One of the Warfield brothers left the Band and set up his own Group and whose posters advertising gigs lead you to believe you're going to see the original Band as it says in "**** Warfield" in small writing and then -"of the Wolfe Tones" in huge letters.(the other 3 are still going and are what most people think of when they say the name of the group)Originally Posted by RogerMilla
Very limited appeal imo.
ya didnt he release a full album almost about celtic.....

Quite possibly. Though Celtic FC have banned The Wolfe Tones/Continuity Wolfe Tones from having any involvement in official Celtic functions or events as part of the SPLs give sectarianism the boot initiative.Originally Posted by paul_oshea
