It's "appropriate".

I LOVE LOVE LOVE bagpipes but electronic ones do nothing for me.

I like both bands. Off Kilter is a whole lot of fun live. If neither is traditional enough for you, try Battlefield Band. http://www.battlefieldband.co.uk/
And to all the 'pipe haters: I was at a concert earlier this month (with my eight-year-old daughter) to see a band that was THREE bagpipers and a drummer. (http://www.teribusmusic.com/) That show rocked, and you're missing some of the most spirited music in the world by shutting this out.

So nice to hear bagpipes.  I have several bagpiping CDs at home, but I'm not allowed to play them by you-know-who.

Gosh, I love bagpipes and dogs, too! Wishing you a good day...

The bagpipes are a great stand-alone instrument. Otherwise...

Rated marginal some time ago, haven't heard in ages, then it comes on and gets downgraded to sucko barfo.  Please remove from your playlist.

PLEASE STOP THIS!

It sounds like I opened one of those cards with a little chip in it to play an abrasive obnoxious melody while I read the note.

It would be really neat if RP could play some Rare Air.

I would rather hear the Wolfe Tones than Wolfstone. 

MAKE IT STOP!!!!

Criminy. this has about as much soul as a rock.  If you're going to do something vaguely traditional, leave the 'tradition' in it.  It's like celtic muzak.

(Having said that, I ranked it up for the mighty talented bass work)

This sounds amazingly like Off Kilter.  (http://www.offkilter.net/)

Or rather, if you like this, you'd like Off Kilter.

NB they weren't playing bagpies, it was Northumbrian pipes or something similar - no drones and slightly quieter!

...and this is why RP shines!

Heh.  More like WolfstOWNS.  Get it?  See what I did there?
Nice to hear this one.  It's been a while.

Yay!!! A place to get my Celtic On!!! Woooo!

thank god bagpipes are expensive and difficult to come by..

AUCK, AYE! Reach under ye kilts and give 'em a wee squeeze! Stop talkin' like a bunch a wee whiney bab-ees!

Dreadful!

Knowing what little I do about Bagpipes and how to play them, these guys are incredible! The speed is out of this world!

PS anyone who wants more bagpipe-included rock, check out Brother. They're from Australia. Awesome!

Or a mashup of the two.

This is seriously awesome stuff. Time to dig out the old Wolfstone CDs and rip them to the iPod.
