While AC/DC were at Albert Studios in Sydney working on the TNTalbum in 1975, co-producer George Young suggested that an extended jam, which he was set to trim down to 5 minutes and 02 seconds, needed bagpipes to give it a zing. Bon Scott mouthed off that he’d been in a piper band in his younger days and could do the job. “So we let Bon put his mou...
When Steve Kilbey first wrote ‘Under The Milky Way’, he didn’t think much of it, and threw in a bagpipe solo on the demo more as a joke. He and then-partner, Swedish feminist punk musician Karin Jansson, wrote it in Smiths Lake, a tiny village on the NSW Mid North Coast, 274 kms from Sydney, on a visit to his mum Joyce. At night Smiths Lake was dar...
When Bono wrote ‘Tomorrow’, he didn’t realise it was about his mother Iris’ funeral in 1974 when he was 14. She had collapsed of a brain aneurysm at her father’s funeral and later died at the hospital. So Uilleann pipes (performed by Vincent Kilduff) displayed the singer’s grief before hard guitar entered to denote anger.
As a child, Korn’s Jonathan Davis experienced his grandmother playing pipe records. But the moving scene in 1982’s Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan with Montgomery Scott playing ‘Amazing Grace’ during Spock’s funeral led him to join the school pipe band. He’s used it on a number of Korn cuts, but doesn’t “wanna milk the motherfuckers to death.” ‘Dea...
For Eric Burdon & the Animals’ seven minute antiwar ‘Sky Pilot’ (slang for priests who served in the military) – released in 1968 as the Vietnam War raged – Burdon sneakily taped the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards playing ‘All the Bluebonnets Are Over the Border.’ That was mixed with effects of fighter planes, gunfire and explosions – and got him a fur...
The most recent track on this list is by ambient experimentalist Caroline Polacheck, a US-born avant-pop star described as Gen Z’s Kate Bush. Beyonce, who got her to write songs for her, Dua Lipa who took her on tour – Lorde and Haim are among her ardent fans. ‘Blood and Butter’ Caroline described the track to The Guardianas being about “spiralling...
“Fab Macca” bought a farm in Scotland in 1966 as a hideaway, and wanted to pen something about why he loved returning to Mull of Kintyre. Over a bottle of whisky, he and Wings guitarist Denny Laine finished the song on the farmhouse steps in an afternoon in the summer of 1977. He got in touch with the local Campbeltown Pipe Band. “Aye, very good, v...
An interesting and innovative use of bagpipes, among other sounds, the 17-minute opus from the Canadian art-rocker’s 1997 debut album was in huge demand in film and TV circles. Film maker Danny Boyle had Godspeed in his head when creating 28 Days Later. “The whole film was cut to Godspeed in my head,” he recalled.
Farnesy loved ‘It’s A Long Way To The Top’ so much he did it in concert. So when it came to recording his career-defining song in 1986, he wanted the bass solo on the demo to be replaced by bagpipes. Farnham and his team tapped award winning pipe major Ross Campbell, a teacher for 32 years at Scotch College, Melbourne, to write the score and wrangl...
