Alestorm - Yay or nay?

[UnKillShredDur]

The uncommon marriage of Pirates and metal....

One of my favorite bands, what do you think?

 

[John Kasich]

However horrible cheesy most of the lyrics are, I still love their sound.

Doesn't mean I'll ever forgive them for their version of Barrett's Privateers tho

Spoiler: No. Just no.

Spoiler: This is how it should be

 

[Loxiozzz]

I started listening to them last year. So far Heavy Metal Pirates and Leviathan are my favorite songs.

Spoiler

I didn't even know this genre was a thing, but I'm glad I found it.

 

[JB 236]

Swashbuckle are better even with Boogie

 

[Yellow Yam Scam]

this is humiliating to listen to.

Didn't know that was a cover. I like both versions well enough though.

Maybe it's because Stan Rogers is very near and dear to my heart, but holy shit that has got to be one of the worst cover versions of a song I've ever heard.

 

[Big Nasty]

Running Wild are the OG heavy metal pirates.

Running Wild are the OG heavy metal pirates.

Eh, I've heard them, and they aren't my bag.

I think this is my favorite from Alestorm. Fucked with an anchor and Keelhauled is good too.

I've been into folk metal for a decade, seems like a rare taste.

It's been a few months since I listened to Alestorm, but I randomly felt like listening to them again today and I'm glad I did- I was reminded of why I love them so much In the first place-

(Favorite line: Hey Marty, it's your kids, they get devoured by undead squids!)

 

[R.A.E.L.]

Fuck yeah.

 

[Ginger Piglet]

YARRRRRR.

Favourite line: "Sailing the Red Sea's a dangerous duty, but there's more than one way to plunder a booty. Sheating your sword in a gaping axe wound, you'd be better to wait until the new moon."

 

[ShittyRecolor]

Fuck Yay!
