Poll: Bagpipes - anyone actually like the sound of them?

[dbov22]

I don't personally like them, they have got their own time as someone said but no, I'd never stop and listen in the street or buy a CD!!

They sound great. I love 'em.

The bag pipes can get a bit wearing. I do like walking past a random piping busker though, thats fun.

Although I do love the uilleann pipes, i could listen to them all day. They sound proper excellent.

In the end, all I can say is..

Now, how much do you like pipes?

 

[doofer]

Bagpipes + Amazing Grace

Bagpipes + Everything else

Loves the sound of the pipes.

By far my fave:

Got this written into my will that it will be played at my funeral.

 

[LeJosh]

Nope, hate them.

This. Got a couple of mates in them, they are awesome.

 

[Biohazard]

I can play them, so yes.

Got taught by an extremely old Royal Scots piper when I was a child.

I've got a regimental chanter he gave me also.

When can we see the video?

They're okay I suppose.

Nothing beats the recorder for horrible sounding "instruments".

I'd need new pipes for that one unfortunately. Last time I played was a few years ago with pipes borrowed from a family friend.

You seem a rich generous man, care to buy me some?

I will get them eventially, but its priorities. It's also something you don't want to do on the cheap either.

I'll maybe do a vid practising the chanter later, but my good one has a split reed (all excuses huh) so I may not sound as great as what I would like!

I'll wear my good kilt and oil up the pecks though

I have a friend who played with them. Do you know Davy? He's a drummer.

no

 

[cm1179]

I like the sound of them, but I sure as hell wouldn't want some next door practising on one. I think they can grate after a while.

ditto

 

[gillywibble]

Awesome on Korn albums.

Couldn't they think of something more original?

 

[j.col]

They sounds amazing, in the right place/time.

+1
also remember that Wings song, Mull of Kintire, had bagpipes in it

 

[semi-pro waster]

It depends, from a bit of a distance i.e. a full pipe band in the Tattoo or a piper at the rugby and it's amazing. Walking past a random piper on Princes Street - not so much.
