Alestorm

[Journeyman14]

Awesome band, seeing them a week on thursday!

Can't wait for the new album.

Anyone else like them/seeing them soon?

 

[D.Ingram]

Not my cup 'o piss but they owned at BOA last year.

And yes, I'm only saying that because the scottish bastards gav me and Greg a bottle of Captain Morgans. Shhhhhhh.

 

[Keenan]

Defintiely a niche thing lol

Not my type of music.

 

[Journeyman14]

How is that not awesome?

 

[Keenan]

Eh, pretty good song. They remind me of Amon Amarth.... except for Pirates

 

[Journeyman14]

They remind me more of Dragonforce except (slightly) more varied, better and, obviously, about pirates instead of dragons.

Sailing the seven seas of metal
We thirst for blood, your ship is in our sights
Taste a broadside from our cannons of steel
Before our cutlasses of metal you shall kneel!

 

[Ocelot2010]

I like Finntroll better

 

[Pablokers]

I think I just became a fan. Shiver me timbers arrrrrr.

 

[Journeyman14]

Finntroll are quite good, can't say I'd go out of my way to listen to them though. Good video though.

This song is rad epicness.

Battle metal wears off after.... well, a very short time. But i guess one song or two is funny now and again.

 

[Zehm]

they're good fun. sakrament covers "nancy the tavern wench" actually

Who was talking about Battle Metal... Which doesn't even count as a genre imo.

 

[Covet Chaos]

Well folk metal i dunno. It counts.... one band name for you, Skyclad. But its a shitty genre.

Whoever mentioned Finntroll, kudos to you my friend.
I am going to see Alestorm tomorrow, no idea why, I hope they are good.

 

[Storm of Damnation]

I'm not massively into Alestorm at all but I'm seeing them tonight, seeing as 1) I'm not paying for the ticket and 2) Tyr are playing, who are actually pretty good.

 

[siobhan!]

Tyr are insaaanely fucking good live. NOMNOMNOM. but yes, shameless plug for my Alestorm / Tyr photos; http://www.flickr.com/photos/siobhanhogartyphotography/

I have like 100/150 to look through along with ones from Evile (LAST MONDAY :|) haha, I'm so slow

 

[Storm of Damnation]

I thought Tyr were pretty shit live actually, although on record I quite like them.

 

[siobhan!]

They were really good in Glasgow I thought. Ack, each to their own eh?

 

[Journeyman14]

YARRRR I BE SEEING THEM TONIGHT GARRRRRRRR

 

[Journeyman14]

Just got back and holy shit!

Skull Branded Pirates = Awesome
TYR = Awesome
Alestorm = Awesome (I'M ON A BOAT MOTHER FUCKER! )

Never seen Leeds Rios so fucking rammed before, it was such a brilliant gig.
