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." 😆
Have you ever noticed that bagpipes make everything better? Silly question. I know you know. I need to find that patch. Maybe I'll just have a shirt made. Cheers!
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!!
@@glassunicorn4446 ... LOLOL :D I thought I'd NEVER stop laughing when I heard Craig say that! :D A note of interest on the bagpipes.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!'
I see acts like this guy a lot. Acts that may not win the big prize, but could easily go headline a theater or cut a CD and make massive amounts of money. Whose future, thanks to this exposure, is so secure they never have to worry about money.
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.
Big RED I did say "almost", I didn't check every country, but from the list below it's hard to find country where it's not present. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bagpipes You are not special.
They are used by some folks bands and enthusiasts, but yes I agree the use is not as prominent and they are not as famous as Scottish bagpipes, even more so for anglophone culture.
Mik Tara yeah i get you but since Scottish highland bagpipes are the most popular and one of the oldest variations of the instrument, its regarded as a general Scottish instrument
TheNerdLord How about you do 7 hours of night shift in innovatory after you just had a long day of dealing with customers wining about us not having something. And the guy who was going to do night shift called in sick.
Evan Platt There are no flames _from_ the pipes. There never were. Those flames come from little flamethrowers tacked on the drones, but they're actually a good distance away from them (as it should be, if they weren't this guy would be a major moron)

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.

He is bad ass!!!
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.
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

That's what happened to the last person that called it a skirt! They were kilt!!

@Zsavage1 must have been you that was passed around
@Zsavage1 as mrs brown says it's a man in a bucking dress
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 will follow this man anywhere... through the very gates of HELL... as long as he's playing the pipes!
He needs to play Highway to Hell when we walk into hell. Damn thats awesome

***** 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 still enjoy their music. I just hate their lawyer.
called uniqueness
***** What about Lindsey Sterling, playing modern epic music with a electric violin? She created havoc in the world of classical music worshippers.
I love the "loud pipes save lives" patch on his vest
thunderstrcuk itself is EPIC
and with this badpiper version gets EPICNESS pure BADASS :D
WTF, this f'n hack disgraced a piece of art. He may as well have shat on the Mona Lisa
This dude rocked the house that night hands down
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.
I love this guy! I've always loved bagpipes, but he's gone and turned them completely badass!
Good to read everybody can play pipes better than him, keep up the good job guys
lol well said
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.
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.
he should definitely be in a MAD MAX movie!!!!!fo sho..
gypsytwigg glitter..... Yes.... Totally!
He kinda looks like the red head from the third move
Yes. A flamin Bagpipe.
finaly somebody with my eyes
Wie geil ist das denn???? So toll...... DANKE

i think its the drone

quit knockin the poor guy, he took a instrument that most people find annoying and making it fucking AWESOME
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.
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.
everythings better with a hot guitarist
This dude deserves a record deal, big time!
this is the best song ive ever heard with rock and the bagpipe
I'm learning to play the pipes and to play this song you have to be piping for at least 30 years
Scotts rule and AC/DC rule. No no...nuff said. Did u read what I just typed? You did?! Then the point was made.
Thats sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool. I Love It
Angus was a very good musician. He was one of the greats in rock n roll. Rip Mr. AC-DC

Bagpipes are like Tablas or the Clavinet.
There is no musical aesthetic which they do not instantly improve by a factor of 10%.
make that 11 !!
