My God - let's hope they don't murder it ... their cover of Billy's Bones (listed as Bill's Bones) on the early singles cd is pretty cool (although doesn't come close to the boys') - and it was still Mike Mccoglan singing then and I think his voice is more suited to their sound. Al Barr was great in the Bruisers and is a superb HC/OI vocalist but Mccoglan has a much wider 'range' (check the latest Street Dogs lp 'Fading American Dream' if you don't believe me).

"Conductor says skinhead I need a nickle
Skinhead punches him in the brain
DId he ever return ...."

P.S If they do record and get Shane to sing I hope he makes more of an effort than he did on Good Rats. :roll:

I was expecting the worse, DM's vocals aren't my favorite, but they play with real passion, and this cover of FTNY was pretty damn good!!!
Thanx for sharing that!!

I'd love the Murphys to record FoNY, maybe follow up Good Rats, and get Shane to record the vocals?

That'd be sweet!

Anyone ever heard it? Its on a bootleg from Wertcher in 2004. The quality kinda sucks, but all and all its a pretty fine cover.

This is late since I am new here, but i have their Guns of Brixton on Vinyl, not a big fan especially since Al Barr left the Bruisers. Is that worth any $$$? Probably not huh? :?:

Has anyone heard the Dropkick Murphys song featuring Shane MacGowan? It's called "Good Rats", good song too.

that's awesome, but i think it'll ruin it if they put it on their next album.
