This is a reaction video to Horslips performing "Dearg Doom". The song was released on their second album "The Táin" released in 1973. The song was also released as a single. The song starts out as a rocker but quickly includes remnants of Celtic sounds. The instrumental break includes a guitar solo followed by pipes. A very interesting and likeable song. Enjoy ...
I found this description on Last.fm:
"Dearg Doom" translates roughly as "Red Destroyer". It is in reference to Irish mythical warrior Cúchulainn - meaning "Hound of Ulster". A name he inherited as a reparation for killing a wolfhound. The song is a take on the Irish folk tune written for battle: O'neills cavalry/march.
The track is from the album "The Tain" referencing Táin Bó Cúailnge (The Cattle Raid of Cooley) which tells the story of a cattle raid in the middle of a War between Ulster and Connaught. The hero of this story was Cúchulainn.
Their electric version of the "O'neills march" used on this track was used in the "Official" 1990 world cup song for the Republic of Ireland. their campaign produced by Larry Mullen from U2. It was called "Put 'Em Under Pressure". It contained overdubbed quotes from the, then Manager, Jack Charlton.
