Leinster walk out music
Anyone else notice the team running out to The Foggy Dew on Friday? How cool was that? I haven't been to a lot of games this season so I don't know how often it happens but it always seemed to be Welcome To The Jungle, which is sh!t cos the RDS couldn't be further removed from a jungle.
I really hope they continue playing the Foggy Dew and then also changing that song after we've scored. They are just from the catalogue, generic pop songs you hear everywhere else. Nothing to do with Dublin, Leinster or Ireland. For a nation revered for its music history we really could find a more appropriate playlist for the stadium. Make it about where we are from.
And I'm not from Dublin. But the playing of songs referencing Dublin doesn't make any difference to me. They're based in the capital.
Gotta say..... I loved hearing the Foggy Dew. It was awesome.

Apparently the players wanted it but expected the crowd to hate it so they'll be delighted with you.

Yep, in a league with 6 and a bit British teams its nice to run out to a song about Britannia's Huns with their long range guns.
I like the song, but there is such a thing as making appropriate choices.

Re: Leinster walk out music
I got the impression it was a tribute to Arthur Tanner
He's gotten awfully fond of that brick

I agree with arse1, I get the feeling it was a tribute to the great Arthur Tanner.
I'm fine with finding a more appropriate tune if one is called for but I find it very hard to believe there would be any objections to this. There are other songs especially at international level that could be argued as being more provocative or inappropriate. Players have to stand there and listen to them.
For me, Chelsea Daggers is a rubbish tune and has no place at the RDS. But that's just my opinion.

No part of Ulster in in Britain, even if some of the players may feel that way. I also can't imagine the Scots being too put out about it.Dave Cahill wrote:Yep, in a league with 6 and a bit British teams its nice to run out to a song about Britannia's Huns with their long range guns.

I remember hearing, a good few years back, that the IRB were considering making Scotland change their anthem as they felt it was too anti-English.
Actually, any love for playing 'Come Out Ye Black and Tans' for the visit of Wasps?

Re: Leinster walk out music
For sure! We owe them one for the smaddering they gave in the Ricoh!!! I also thought The Foggy Dew was fantastic and agree we should try to use music that has more of a connection with Leinster place and people, than your off the rack international pop music product. It doesn't have to Carolan or Thomas Moore either. It could be along the lines of the following, done by lads who are Straight Outa Dublin:Grumpy Old Man wrote:We need to make this happen!johng wrote:That is top classLaighin Break wrote: Actually, any love for playing 'Come Out Ye Black and Tans' for the visit of Wasps?

If we're using Foggy Dew as walkout music on an ongoing basis, a la Conor McGregor, we have to segue into Hypnotize as well

Re: Leinster walk out music
Kinda like "Boys Are Back in Town" at the start of the season or after a bit of a gap in home games sometimes.

Re: Leinster walk out music
We play 13 regular season games. How about each county gets it's county song for one game. The Dubs would be Molly Malone, Uibh Fhaile how I love you for Offaly and Stop the world and let me off or the Rising of the Moon for Longford!
