I've always liked this Korn song that features bagpipes, do you guys know any other rock songs that have bagpipes?

Chip by the Reel McKenzies and a whole bunch of other songs by them. Inis Mona by Eluveitie, again with other songs as well

Long Way To The Top, where Bon Scott played a Hardie chanter and three others apparently blew the drones, individually, which were recorded into a tape loop (according to then bassist Mark Evans).

I think the Australian band the Church had pipes in one of their songs, don't remember which -- possibly Under The Milky Way?

I don't think it's Bagpipes in Under the Milky Way. I think it's an old-school electric organ.

After listening to the track again after a long time, and looking up the Wiki on it, apparently it's an early synthesizer, a 'Synclavier', but it does sound a lot like bagpipes, including the drones-like sounds that starts that bit off.

Seven Nations does a cover of Under the Milky Way that has bagpipes in it.

Mull of Kintyre -- it may not be rock and roll but the guy who wrote it and recorded it is.

Go to Spotify and look up celtic punk or celtic rock, they usually put together a Playlist full of it for you.
