i'm going to pretend like I remember what I was unnecessarily aggressive about and attempt to answer your question.

I assume I said imitation, because (I might be wrong here, mind you) but I'm pretty sure all the band members were born up north in the United States of America, and while there music definitely has Celtic roots and is influenced by Celtic music, I don't consider them to have the same authenticity as real Celtic band. It sounds more commercialized to me.


But in all honesty, I was probably just pissed off by him saying that his heritage makes him enjoy DM. And the idea that one can think the fact that your great-great grandparents were from Scottland has any influence on what music you will end up enjoying kinda baffles me. Those ideas of aceint ancestory influencing you so much I think is cause for lots of the racial and ethnic tension that causes so many problems today.
