My birth name is John Paul Newell one of the royal lines of Caledonia and it is as they said the clans formed because they knew from continuous invasions that they would need to unite the individual families together into clans
This is my go to when neighbors have music wars… I swear it blocks out all the bass from their music!! Put it on my Bose outside, seems I’m the last person standing since I’ve found this!! Sharing with neighbors now… Piper down!! 😎💚
@@vintagemxer1846 No, it blocks their stupid music out so I don’t have to listen to it. Obnoxious is a 32 hour party thumping bass and cowbells the entire time with no regards to anyone but themselves and their party members. All the drunk drivers on the dirt roads thinking it’s the Audubon and slamming into power poles and “off roading” in peoples yards, that’s obnoxious. I simply turn the radio on, put the speaker outside, and close the door. It creates a sound block to all their live bands and car stereos. And did I mention this is 2-5 times a week? Yeah… I’m obnoxious eh’
I've deployed Scots/Irish pipe and drums at high volume and deep bass on my neighbors who also have no regard or respect for peace and quiet... at ANY time day or night. I've discovered that it has positive results covering Rap bass. I have other pieces of ordinance in my arsenal that are variously effective in shutting my neighbors down: Chinese Opera works well during the day but it lacks bass notes. Mongolian Throat singing is effective but not easy to locate online. Cat fights also work rather well during the day. I tried recordings of artillery fire and that yielded instant results. And right up there with Scots/Irish pipe and drums are those big Japanese Taiko drums. I crank that up and bloody hell!... it rattles everything! Shuts them down right away. However... they just can't seem to get the hint. Their tactic is to slowly ease their volume up. I don't let them win -- "Ailadrodd eich camgymeriad, byddwch yn marw!"
@@theidiothunter5188 tonight’s the night I will employ Japanese drums… It’s a shame that one house has the ability to disrupt 4 square miles with their music… rude peoples I tell ya… thanks for the extra arsenal!!
An American friend of mine with Scottisj ancestry came to my childhood birthday party in full Highland Dress and played bagpipe in our tiny livingroom. It was so loud, I can only imagine what the neighbours were thinking. Bagpipe Lyyyyfe!
Haha that’s awesome. If they played war tunes they’ve been passed on through ‘watch me, do that’ method of teaching. And each time it’s passed on it learns a new accent. Then they can just come up with their own tunes on the spot what ever comes into their heads and whatever they’re seeing is interpreted into the pipes. They’re memories which is why they take them into battle, it’s their ancestors rally cry don’t let us fade out and it stirs the troops that are fighting into a frenzy. Then enemy are often confused as to why a piper is up the front in the meat grinder because what they’re hearing is something totally different to what the descendants are hearing. To the descendants it’s a rally cry it speaks to their people, to the enemy it’s a warning it turns the battles that any Celt is involved with into frenzies that go beyond control of orders. This is why the British tried to ban them from having bagpipes in their communities, because they aren’t just a musical instruments, bagpipes are an instrument for war, and when the Brit’s were occupying Scotland and Ireland back in dark and Middle Ages, the Brit’s feared the bagpipes that much that they tried to eradicate them from existence. So the Celts hid them and taught them in secret to pass on their memories and managed to evade the English from wiping out that part of their culture. That’s how powerful the bagpipes really are, it kept the Celts alive.
The pipes invoke in me the "quickening"...an ancient calling to battle stirs within my blood. At some point in history, between the time of the Picts and the fall of the Roman Empire, there arose the Highland Clans...
Dream of the fields of battle, for our glory awaits. Drummer, guide me to the pipes as i unsheath my blade. If its a fight they wish, we'd be more than willing to granted it!🗡
I don't have any Scottish in my blood. I'm a Norwegian with a bit Finnish/Kven and a tiny bit Saami in my blood. But I for some reason really like Scottish and Irish music, and other music like it, as well as some types of very foreign folk music, like Mongolian music. I really like this music you've made here.
Heeey JustSomething!! Thank you very much for your words bro!! I am very happy with the number of subscribers, but if I can grown up more it will be wonderful! When I started this channel, never imagine to reach this number of people sharing my compositions with me. It is a great adventure for me! Thanks a lot bro!! Enjoy the music! 😎
Good, upbeat bagpipes make any chore like playtime. Songs like these also make great background music for just about anything. This is a great mixture of styles and tempo. I'm a fan.👍
Heeey Whovian!! Thank you very much for your comment my friend. The bagpipe is a truly incredible instrument, full of strength and great melodies that can accompany you for almost any task throughout the day. I hope you enjoy it a lot. A big hug!!
Heeey Epic Generation!! Thank you very much for your comment my friend. In my compositions I always try not to make everything sound the same. Sometimes it turns out well, as is the case, and then it's nice to listen to all that diversity. Enjoy it bro!! :)
Absolutely love this… can’t listen to it loud enough… I love the dips of intensity in rhythm and contrast of pipes mixed in with softer bridge. Sound track for my work day with more to do than time will allow for!
Heeey Robin!! Thank you very much for your wonderful comment, I really liked how you talked about the composition style. I hope it helps you a lot in your day to day at work even if you can't turn the volume up very high. :)
Just coming by to remind you that you`re doing amazing, and you`re an example for all those that has talent and doesn`t have the courage to start something big. Make sure you do it in your free time, have it as a hobby so you will maintain a healthy mind. All the best!
Heeey Gemina XIV!! Thank you very much brothers, this is one of the messages that I have liked the most of all the ones I have received so far, I thank you very much for your words, they are very well received and of course I thank you for the advice you have given me. I work as a computer programmer and take care of my family, and when I have free time I try to compose as much as possible, since it is my biggest hobby. Thank you very much brother and I hope to continue sharing much more music with you. :)
mine own clan, Clan Smith, has two; "Touch Not A Cat But A Glove" a metaphorical warning not to feck around with us and the other being "I Shine Not Burn" the first one has the emblem of a rampant cat, the other emblem (for the second motto) is that of a lit torch... no idea why we have two but imo the second is my fav since to me it is more in line with our clan's specialty as indicated by our clan name
@@davidchas Hello David, I hope everything is okay in your life. I am thinking of opening a channel about History and preparing a video. Can I use your music by giving your name and sharing your channel? I would be very happy if you respond Sorry for my bad english :)))
Heeey Angry Ranger!! I am glad to see you again bro, I hope that you are very well!! Thank you very much for your comment!! I play normally string instruments like guitar, bass, kantele, zither...the bowed strings I usually play via keyboard. I play some wind instruments, like a galician and medieval bagpipe, some whistles, wood flutes,... and some percussion instruments like frame drums, darbuka, cymbals,... other instruments that I have used in my albums are via keyboard...I hope to learn more instruments but the time is very sort!! jejeje Thank you very much for your comment bro!! Enjoy it! :)
@@davidchas Yes sir, doing good. Like yourself, I play many instruments. Guitar, bass, keyboards, trumpet/coronet, 5 string banjo, harmonica, but mostly I'm a percussionist. Classically trained and read music well. Zero wind instruments though, and if handed a violin I'd just have to hand it back! Tried to learn but it sounded like a cat in a blender!😵 Now past 70, my hands are loosing some feeling. Not as fast and smooth as I once was. I play for my own amusement these days. But I had fun earlier in different bands, playing different instruments. I'd do solos in a blues band, sometimes playing Bach or Chopin over the blues grooves. Drove the crowd wild, and make my bandmates nuts! Like Beethoven 9th on a droning harmonica! Had some fun! I enjoyed every bit of your works today. Great stuff!👍 Later, tu amigo, Wade
Bienvenido mi amigo Wade (welcome my friend Wade)!! As always you leave me almost speechless, it is a pleasure to receive such beautiful words from another fellow musician and also with such a long career and multi-instrumentalist, something that has always amazed me. I'm glad you keep playing, and you keep having fun with music, I think it's something that makes us really free and allows us to dream of different worlds and triggers our creativity. The camaraderie between bands and stages is really fun, and thanks to RU-vid, I am discovering and meeting people who are really worthy of all my praise, you among them my friend Wade. Thank you very much as always for your words, as they make me feel happy and very proud. I hope to enjoy many stories and music together for many years. A big hug from your friend David.
@@davidchas ¡Gracias, mi amigo! Your encouraging words inspire to press past the discomforts of age. As I sit here in my little home, I'm less than 1/2 a meter from one of my Les Pauls resting on the stand. I believe that I'll play some of the style I call "Armadillo Vesperus", a blend of classical, blues, and Celtic often in Dm. With a mixture of the Aeolian and Dorian modes. Many thanks for all you do. You have a far greater reach through you music than you may be aware. Tu Amigo, Wade
recorded songs just dont do bagpipes justice when standing infront of a whole orchestra of bagpipes you will feel the bagpipes cry out and push there way through you
Heeey Vincent!! Merci beaucoup pour tes mots frère breton, j'espère que tu apprécieras la musique et la bonne bière fraîche. Salutations des terres ibériques
ha! ha! Actually Scotland wanted Union not the English and several Scottish Kings and Queens claimed the throne of England more than vice versa. The last Queen had Scottish blood.
How about letting us come back home as well?..... At least those of us in the U.S. who want to come home. My family never wanted to come here. We were forced. It would be nice to have the right to repatriation if we choose it.⚔️🏴 Better than letting a bunch of people from the Middle East who hate the culture and want to replace it.
Hi Ashley!! This video isn't an album, is imposible that you bought an album with the name Bagpipes of War . It is a RU-vid video compilation with 2 albums of my discography, Hellish Bagpipes and Riocht n'a Gael. Two independents albums. Check it in my bandcamp, or in my other official platforms. If you need to contact me you can do here. Panteroso666@hotmail.com
There are two bagpipes but the hurdy gurdy sound similar because both instruments have drones in C tune, and a melodic voice. But in this themes only are bagpipes. Enjoy it!!
Heeey Skut988!!! Thank you very much for your words bro! There are not many subscribers yet but every day new brothers and sisters join the channel to enjoy my music, for which I feel very grateful and honored. Remember that you can always share my music with your friends and acquaintances if you want, as this will help me grow. Thank you very much for your words again!!
