You may be thinking of skate punk 3rd wave if you really think this doesn't sound like ska. I suggest expanding your horizons before trying to say that arguably the closest sound to original 1st wave ska, doesn't sound like ska

      its called the united kingdom cos ireland and scotland are part of it. So are Scotish people british? I just don't understand it's 19 hours drive along the length. Isn't it really small. In Australia you will die if you start walking into the outback. Theres fences there that stretch the length of America. Do you just see the same places and same people everyday cos it's really small? I wanna go to Kew Gardens one day and see the palm house and all that. That's really all I wanna see just Kew Gardens maybe the gardens at Buckingham.

      @@jhowardsupporter Hey there! I'm about as Scottish as you can get and HELL NO I'm not British, I'm Scottish and most Scots feel the same way. Do you see the same people and faces every day? That was a bit of a daft question really wasn't it? The UK is made up of Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England, and each country within it has its own culture and heritage. Scotland and N.Ireland have very distinct but similar cultures and although Wales is a Celtic country like Scotland and NI it probably has more in common with England. To be honest, I know very little about English culture outside of the two stereotypes of skinhead football twats and Tea drinking upper crust bores, that's not to say either one of those stereotypes is accurate- I'm sure there are fun, friendly folk in the mix too, I've just never met any :P. The truth of the matter is, we're stuck together for the foreseeable future like it or not (and I reeeaaalllyyy don't) so we can politely ignore each other until a better solution can be found. Personally, devolution isn't far enough for most Scots and Irish, a clean and complete break is preferable. Great music though!

      @@jhowardsupporter Nah, We had tried though. We started out well enough, every 30 minutes there was a signpost...to what you said >:P ...After a while, the signposts were all smeared angling off diagonally. As we continued we came across a small roadside shrine. Instead of a plaque, there was a beautifully painted little signpost it said: "In memory of Dafydd Evans, the poor bastard died of exhaustion". Sad really.
      Have you ever visited ...The Great And Powerful UK? Lol. If you haven't and can and can afford it, you should. It's a beautiful place.
      For a great night out I'd recommend Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh, and Newcastle (Newcastle is in England but right on the border with Scotland. It has been part of Scotland for short periods of time too. I guess we got a little barbarian on them and it stuck. They can party with the Scots and the Irish no problem and I've always found them to be great fun.
      Loch Lomond and the Trossachs national park is stunning, as is the haunting Glencoe and Bannockburn. The Highlands and Islands are breathtaking and pristine. We have amazing Galleries, museums, pubs, shopping, clubs, and restaurants- not to mention the huge festivals we hold each year. Ireland is beautiful too, also boasting fantastic nightlife. food, history, Guinness! It really is a lot of fun and a holiday to remember.

      How does a ska band change a light bulb? 10. One guy on a ladder drops the bulb and the other members of the band dance, point and say "pick it up!", "pick it up!", "pick it up!"

      Imagine how hard it must be to coordinate a practice session?

    • @giuseppelogiurato5718
      @giuseppelogiurato5718 Před 4 lety +13

      Lol, If your going to start a SKA band, you had best gather 1000 talented people before you start buying the equipment, because 986/1000 of them will quit after the first practice session, (similar like my friend Steve was saying 3 months ago in this here thread)... As a member of a big band myself (Scottish Bagpipe and Drum band), I suspect their practices must be somewhat of a paramilitary affair in order to wrangle that many free-spirited artists into a cohesive something-or-other... Even the process of tuning can be an ordeal. (There is always that Prima Donna who says; "Why should I have to tune to everyone else? I'm perfect! Everyone else should tune to ME!)
      Anyway, I think this is a great video; I can tell it took a ton of work and hundreds of hours and thousands of beers and tears to get it done... It makes me want to visit Melbourne (Melbun?) and maybe get lucky enough to catch these guys doing their thing in their home town with their home crew... Love from USA 👍👍👍
