My wife & I have seen these guys several times and they get better every time we see them, great group.

[@troygreenwood4933]

I dig this band. Great music. Lots of hits. No pun intended.

[@kingkrieger2963]

it really is real.. It was at O'Brien's Irish Pub on Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica... there are many people that can back it up

[@shawnmaher-xw6je]

Wow I'm Irish and will drink whiskey all though this song!!

[@TempGuest7]

As an Australian, all good mate, he's a kiwi.

[@cementshoes1425]

Never have I been prouder to be of Irish descent

[@karsonkammerzell9681]

In my experience, true stories tend to be told slightly different every time because they aren't rehearsed.

[@RiversOfTears]

OMG i laughed so damn hard when i saw this live!!!

[@db45429]

Saw them at Celtic Fest in Dayton 2 days ago. It was awesome!

[@waynebiggerstaff921]

I know Murphy, the story is true. He (Crowe) had just finished filming a movie and was partying at the bar. He wasn't smoking a cig. though. That was the problem...

[@shawnmaher-xw6je]

See this band live!😅

[@Timetravel1111]

Saw you all last year at Irish fest St. Paul Minnesota good times. Lift your spirits people 2017 What's your favorite Irish, pagan it upbeat songs.

[@nicholaslanciani7882]

Thumbs up if you saw these guys preform at the Lowell Music Series in Lowell Massachusetts!!

[@MsMaggyW]

It is!

[@danbytp]

Great story only an Irishman can tell!

[@TravisSelassieSimbawafedha]

Yes the song is based on actual events. I mean are you calling him a Liar, cause Irishmen don't ever lie eh!

[@jordandc5258]

Russell Crowe vs Liam Neeson

[@BikerDeva]

It is.

[@LearnSwissGerman]

Nice song. Are they Irish?

[@awesomelegos1]

At the Irish fest near my house!

[@ons1008]

Just saw these guys tonight in Lincoln, Nebraska! GREAT STUFF!!!! "the gladiator" --- punched him in the head! Oi Oi Oi!

[@Hypershock93]

taco bell.....lolz i love this song!!

[@HunterRichardson]

I'm curious what Crowe has to say about this song.

[@harveystew]

I think it is, he changes it up a little each time but its still ends the same pretty much with him running.

[@harm3825]

Skip to 2:54 for the actual song...

[@akalmonte]

I wonder if the body guards cought him😕 😂

[@myjunefairy]

... that is beautifully awesome. But if he started smoking cigars I might love Crowe even more, and it would become borderline obsessive... But thanks for the confirmation :)

[@lancep9394]

Fucke great band

[@MatthewFordAnimations]

true story ù.ù

[@georgianav9727]

Coming to OHIO.

[@myjunefairy]

I really want to know if this story is actually real......

[@kingkrieger2963]

It's real

[@stratphil]

did he jus drop a loogie @3:30?

[@gunnarcampbell9159]

Guitar pick

[@jordandc5258]

OK let me change the subject

[@DarkElfMairead]

Maybe it's a different Russel Crowe?

[@collinshouse1]

duh!

[@MsMaggyW]

Maybe he likes to exaggerate it a little every time, just for fun, so he has a few different versions of the event!

[@joshkooga7204]

Nahh..he wouldn't do that..he's irish..😊😊

[@myjunefairy]

Haha naw there can only be one Russel Crowe.

[@lancep9394]

Ooops. Fucken. Hahaja. Im drunk. Yeaaaa

[@gaia8187]

I hate Russell Crowe, so hé did or no. Cigarette, Big cigar?

[@jme9570218]

OMG I hope they are better in person. After 1st 3 1/2 minutes this guy and his " story" reached the pain threshold for me. He left me caring less whether "story" was true or not, had to leave or cut my own throat. Can't remember seeing a performer on stage with worse Stage Presence, Timing or Delivery. For his sake I hope he was at least drunk that might explain some of the lack of professionalism. He can't tell a story, it was Not funny, Not entertaining , Not even interesting. Perhaps if you are utterly shitfaced drunk it would make a difference other wise, click on through this clip. You'll never get these 6 1/2 minutes back. The guy with his arms folded next to him on stage says it all.
