Talk:Dropkick Murphys

message: I changed a bit about the Dropkicks taking a break in February 2006. That's not possible because their last date on the European tour with Less Than Jake is 30 April, so that can't be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.201.220.169  (talk • contribs) 21:30, 25 February 2006
I rearranged the wording a bit in regards to "The Warrior's Code" featuring "the hits" 'Sunshine Highway' and Tessie. Both songs received a considerable amount of airplay, especially from stations local to the Boston area, but I don't think either would truly be considered "hits".

message: Seeing as what lies above started with the question about the Dropkicks having a following of racist skins, it's fair to say that whether or not the Dropkicks have a following of racist skins is no reason to denounce them as a racist band. In fact, there's not much reason to assume that their skinhead following does have racist skins in it. That's not to say that they're not racist because they're Irish (or Irish American even), it's because they just aren't racist. Basically, just because a band may have racist fans who "like" their music doesn't make the actual band racist. It's a big accusation to be calling someone racist or accusing them of having Nazi sympathies, so be careful next time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.213.205.38  (talk • contribs) 20:20, 13 March 2006
:→–Yes, it's a rediculous argument. I used to know a bunch of racist skins that listen to a great deal of non-punk, country music. Who gives a shit if a lot of racist people listen to their music? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.38.10.212  (talk • contribs) 17:38, 25 May 2008
::Adolf Hitler enjoyed Disney films, did that make Walt Disney a racist? of course not. To the person above^ I agree with what you are saying, but Walt Disney was a racist.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.46.189 (talk) 04:47, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Should it really say "Following the release, Lars Frederiksen, who had produced Dropkick's first two albums, exited to pursue other interests, and Barton also left the band..."
In this context it sounds as if he was an actual band member, rather than serving as producer which he has done for many Hellcat bands.  Though it is true that he filled in on one tour when James broke his arm. --Sfurey77 03:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Added the Slapshot tribute album 'Boston Drops the Gloves' to the compilation section of the discography. DM contribute the last song, "I've Had Enough". If I remember correctly, DM were pretty instrumental in getting this comp recorded and released. DM has long been supporters of Slapshot - if anyone every gets around to re-writing this article, perhaps DM's links to 'classic' Boston hardcore can be brought out a little more... I'm not a big fan of the band, so I'm not qualified to do so... --Dc johnson45 01:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I have not found the song "Four Dead Cheerleaders" listed in any of Dropkick Murphys discography. Come to find out that this song is FREQUENTLY miss-attributed to Dropkick Murphy and should be attributed to a different band; possibly Australian; possibly named Drop. Does anyone know this song. I want to include a note on this page that FDC was not written by DKM, but I want to clear-up who DID write it first.

:According to last.fm it's a Texas punk band named Dropkick (there are at least two bands named Dropkick, one in Texas and one in Scotland.) Edited accordingly.

message: Hi,
I'm the one who added the last bit about the origin of the name "Dropkick Murphy's'. I notice that someone said that it needed a citation. I'm not sure what to do about that. Although I was never a customer of that detox, I knew several old guys who had been. I have no idea how to look up Bellows Farm after all these years. They went out of business at least 30 years ago. Maybe as much as 40 or 50 years ago. Tommurphy.us 00:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Every bit of information should be verifiable through another notable source, like a magazine, book, website, television show, etc. If Wikipedia allowed original research, inaccuracies would begin to run rampant because "I said so." That being said, your information should be excluded until a source can be located. I'll hide it behind a comment to give you some time to find one. Little tinyfish 04:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I found a source for references for the detox. I should get them in about two weeks. Perhaps they will be enough to post a separate article about John Murphy's drunk farm.  Tommurphy.us 17:26, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: What is the relationship of these two bands? I had a few Dropkick's CDs before FM had any records out or played out nationally, and though they had a kind of Irish feel, mostly vocally, they seemed straight ahead punk. Sometime after I discovered and beame a fan of FM I saw DM added more traditional instruments to their sound. Does anyone know if there is an influence from one band to another?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.164.147.147 (talk) 21:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Dropkick Murphys are friends with Flogging Molly and Ken further confirms this in a according to a March 2010 interview with alt porn site, Burning Angel. They have toured with them in the past and are also friends with The Pogues of course and The Tossers (who btw formed before FM and DKM). Jason1978 (talk)  11:57, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: That's what I came on here for too. I think the played a song at Celtic Park during half-time, as 'entertainment' but there's no working relationship between the two as there is with DKM and the Sox, and to a lesser extent DKM and the Bruins.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.235.134 (talk) 16:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I've removed one of those inflationary "trivia" boilerplate warnings from the bulleted list of sports references. The warning reads "please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections or articles". You may argue well whether or not such a section is relevant, or if any individual entries are relevant. But no matter what, this sort of information belongs in a separate bulleted section, and shouldn't be randomly scattered all over the article. So please don't put the warning back in just because you're seeing a bulleted list.Jimmy Fleischer (talk) 12:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Sports section

message: Okay the associated acts section has about 20 too many, so I removed it...here are the bands that were listed:
*The Bruisers
*Street Dogs
*The Outlets
*The Ducky Boys
*Gimme Danger
*The Vigilantes
*Everybody Out!
*The Westies
*The Eleventh Hour
*Deadly Sins
*Putrid Anal Infection
So which are notable associations and which aren't? That's my two scents 22:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the most notable would be The Bruisers, the original band of Al Barr, Street Dogs, Mike McColgan's (former lead singer) current band, and Everybody Out!, the current band of Rick Barton. You could also argue The Ducky Boys because James Lynch was in the band and they recorded a split with DKM and The Outlets because it was Barton's band prior to DKM. --Matt58 (talk) 15:14, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I think the edit made on 5/30/16 (by a random IP) might be vandalism. It looks like somebody did a find and replace of "Boston" or "Masachusetts" to Ireland, including the name of their song "I'm shipping up to Boston" which broke the page link. I don't know the band well enough to correct any of the information, but I did fix the broken infobox (because a bracket was left off in the edit).Devilsbane (talk) 14:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
