Now imagine this kinda performance in the old days scottland, 100 flaming bagpipes with drum and guitar support... No fight ever, just a big party and a lot of brick piles on the enemy side.
If the Scots had flaming bagpipes back then, nobody would even *think* of starting shit with 'em. "No, no, that's my mistake-- have a good evening, lads." 😆
Shut-up. What makes the Scottish bagpipes so is the fact that they were the first bagpipes to be able to tune. You can't tune-up Syrian, Arabian, Greek, Roman, etc., bagpipes.
@@mneisinger72 as a former student of the pipes, it was flawless. Don't crap on pipes because you're too uncultured to understand or appreciate the complexity of the instrument.
Sat next to this guy on a pub balcony in Fremantle Australia a few months before he was on the show and watched as he busked outside for the crowd. Awesome!!

Piping is hard. Bloody hard. this guy does what we likely cannot. And thumbs up for doing it in public. Hugely difficult genre to break into seriously.
People saying this guy misused the bagpipes because it wasn't used in the traditional way. I guess Igor Presnyakov misused his acoustic guitar to play along with skrillex, or Viktoriya Yermolyeva using a grand piano like sound to play along with Slipnot yet both sound excellent imo. Everything evolves from one form or another, as these instruments at the time of conception probably weren't thought to do what they do today. Kudos to these people thinking outside the box.
***** S&M is the only Metalica album I will buy, I'm still protesting their Napster case in the late 90's. But S&M is just too good to keep protesting.
I bought this song yesterday and my mom and i rock out to it I the car. But then we love bagpipe music anyway this just mashed it better. Love you BadPiper! Look me up if you ever get to Az. We have a cookout every saturday!
Well, Angus and Malcolm Young (RIP) are Scottish. They moved to Australia when they were kids but they originally came from Scotland so AC/DC is half Scottish. That's why the music video for It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll) featured bagpipes.
UNREAL performance. I am not a fan of AC DC or punk but you made me love it..I didnt want to do it.... Why is he not all over our television shows? He needs a great manager to get his talent out there. He is unique and energetic.
Could you imagine him (BADPIPER) appearing on stage with the God's of OZ rock, AC/DC doing a version of Thunderstruck ????? NOW that would be UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME !!!!!!!
Ok, lets just take a minute to evaluate these comments. And the complete lack of comments appreciating that chick with the guitar. Because that girl is hot as fuck.
She really is, but the camera angles are so terrible that you only see her up close for a second or two, and only from the side. Idiotic cinematography, constantly bouncing around every few seconds.
Good to see that dumb fucks all over the world keep trotting out that fallacy. I can't cook well, but if I taste food, I can tell if something was poorly cooked.
If the show hadn't have already aired I'd have tried to call in/voted for this guy to win b/c he's a machine on those pipes 🥰😍..judge was right about the hot guitarist coming in to the mix 🙂😂🤣👍👍..!!
Somewhere out in space, in the 23rd century, Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott is listening to this 200 year old music clip and with a tear in his eye, raises his glass of fine Scotch and says ' Ah love those bonnie pipes!'
He could rig up a vandegraft generator between the pipe tubes and people would see electrical discharges run up the tubes as they discharge static electrical charges it world be a freak
Awesome. This is the best version I've heard so far. What a beautiful tribute to AC/DC. "It's a Long Way To the Top" got me hooked on bagpipe rock ... what would you call this genre ... Piperock?
I despise my own generation because of people like you, and him. Keep the classical stuff classic. Don't ruin a perfectly good instrument with that shit.
Being terrible at the pipes doesnt mean you are good :) bring a tune at least, whats that? 8months in and my friend can play this :) No offence, just reality :)

This guy needs to be in a Mad Max movie!! With his bagpipe!! Top stuff!!
Im glad im not th only one who thought that XD
but then he and th doof warrior would take th whole movie lol
uppanadam74 Must shoot fire out of them to be Mad Max, but I like the idea.
+TheMontanaDave it does
+TheMontanaDave he does, look up his street performance
+uppanadam74 this is where George Miller got the idea for the guitarist in Fury Road... look up his other act, he shoot flames out the bagpipe.
If it were a good version or bad version it doesnt matter lads it takes alot of talent to even make a tone on the pipes
So, you admit, it was f'n awful

Can you imagine how much air it took to play that song? Bagpipes are as much a workout as they are a musical instrument. Absolutely amazing!
I'm Scottish and love AC/DC, some people forget that Bon Scott played the bagpipes on stage as well.
Forget that, most people forget that Angus, Malcolm and Bon were all from Scotland which pisses me off
Bon Scott was great, this idiot is a hack
Bon faked playing the bagpipes. He was a drummer in a pipe band but they thought he played the bagpipes.

***** What about Lindsey Sterling, playing modern epic music with a electric violin? She created havoc in the world of classical music worshippers.
Song in the background at the very beginning is Big Country - In a Big Country if anyone was interested.

That 80’s Song, Especially the Bagpipes 😎

Cristiano Franco I know right? Suddenly every fucking person in the world knows how to play the bagpipes it seems.
Cristiano Franco you don't have to be good at pipes to know what sounds good and what doesn't
Yep, He didn't really hit the right tones and failed the rhythmics completely.

while I agree with liking classic bag pipes I also like this kind to
Fuck off dip shit. I'm scottish and find that incredibly insulting. People that like that shit are invalids.
I feel like Lindsey Stirling saw this, and was like, "Hmm....I wonder if I can do something like that with a Violin..."
Amazing! Love it!!!!
Amazing!
I'm learning to play the pipes and to play this song you have to be piping for at least 30 years
