St. Patrick’s Day 2016: A Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Playlist
St. Patrick's Day is a great holiday where even if you aren't Irish, you can be for the day. You can enjoy the corned beef and cabbage, drink and be merry with the best of them. This is no exception for the hard-rocking headbangers.
While the bagpipes, accordions, fiddles and whistles may not be the key instruments in a heavy metal, there are plenty of rocking music that still has subtle Irish/St Patrick's Day references within them. I got a little creative using the words most associated with St. Patrick's Day such as green, luck, rainbows, etc and turned it into your headbanging soundtrack as you enjoy you Sat Paddy's Day festivities.
