So, talk about your reaction to the video, or put general Alestorm appreciation here.

I love Alestorm. A friend of mine was into them back when they were called Battleheart, so I've known about them for a while. Captain Morgan's Revenge (the song) is epic as hell.

Pretty crazy. I had never heard of them before but a friend was like: "Want to come see a pirate metal band with me and some friends?" and I was like: "Pirate metal?! I'm there!".

The crowd went crazy for Wenches and Mead.

They also played The Power of Ale :hat

That's the exact way I plan on convincing a friend of mine to go see them if they ever do another US tour.

Went to see them again last night. You guys aren't going to believe what they played for the encore. I hope they recorded it.

Bands keep doing that thing on the first verse (0:44 to 0:52)
Same as on The Trooper by Iron Maiden (0:36 to 0:49)
and Hallowed by thy Name (1:38 to 1:57)
and Through the fire and flames (0:40 to 0:50) expect for the keyboard
can anyone think of any other examples of this?

This band rules so much that words fail to describe it.
Seriously, the singer even has a keytar. A frigging KEYTAR. :2metal:
Surely one day they'll work out it would be simpler and far more legal just to suckle on each others' teats in a kind of wonderful 69 of eternal calcium goodness.

To be honest, I wish he had an accordion instead of the keytar.

It's a widely believed fact that "keytar > accordion".

Alestorm in Seattle on November 24th. Only $16 for tickets. I'm so there.

I love how every time Alestorm is mentioned anywhere, also included is the suffix "Pirate Metal."

Get out of here with your Finntroll. Korpiklaani is the best Finnish folk metal band in the world.

WHEN I COME BACK FROM A MIGHTY QUEST, I HAVE NO NEED FOR SLEEP OR REST
I HEAD TO A TAVERN A DRINK AND GET SO DRUNK I CANNOT THINK
A WENCH BY MY SIDE A JUG OF MEAD, THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT I MOST NEED
SO I JUST SIT BACK AND SING THIS SONG AND DRINK AND PARTY ALL NIGHT LONG

Or something like that.

Either of them are good - most people got Captain Morgan's Revenge first simply because it came out first. There isn't a huge difference in style or quality between the two.

But if you get the chance to see them live, jump at it. Great live act. :D
