I'm listening to Death Throes of the Terrorsquid right now. It's awesome.

Listening to "Death Throes of the Terrorsquid." I'll be honest, Alestorm have written better songs. I'm actually getting bored with it, though I do like his screams around the 5:00 mark, even if the music behind it wasn't all that interesting. I'm gonna listen to "Captain Morgan's Revenge" to get a proper dose of epic Alestorm.

This album is every bit as good as the last two. I'm not sure what you're smoking.

It's better than the second album, not sure compared to the first yet.

I'd say Barrett's Privateers is my favorite song so far. It's so fucking catchy.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #79 on:** June 01, 2011, 11:52:21 AM »

Your favorite song is a cover tune

I have yet to determine my favorite. Gimme a day or so.

I know. Alestorm is insanely good at making a cover into their own thing that completely kicks ass. My favorite song that isn't a cover is definitely Death Throes of the Terrorsquid.

Holy shit, that's fucking awesome. I LIVE in Halifax, and the original is a staple for any good rock band here.

Bump

soooo this hasn't been updated in almost 7 years, but seriously. Alestorm is fantastic.

Since 2011...

Drink (22 million views

)
Fucked with an Anchor
Hangover (well done pop cover)

and of course for the prog fans:
This song is amazing Sunset of the Golden Age

I think this has slowly become my most anticipated band to see at ProgPower., they are just going to bring the fun to the show

nattmorker · « **Reply #89 on:** April 01, 2018, 07:39:00 PM »

Alestorm is awesome! Their music is so much fun, rocking and catchy. Their last album, No grave but the sea is great! I already missed them in Mexico last year, but I was tight on money. I hope to catch them soon!

They're no Gloryhammer but I suppose they're not bad

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #91 on:** April 03, 2018, 05:00:53 PM »

They are just so much fun. Sometimes that's all I need from a band. I have enough serious music and sometimes these guys are exactly what I crave.

Drink is just

And apparently both are touring the US together.

Honestly, haven't been able to dig anything from Gloryhammer, but I'll see both bands at ProgPower

Exactly how I feel. They are just flat out fun. Even my gf digs some of their tunes because they are accessible and fun. But what's interesting is they have a song on each album that's more progressive and shows they aren't just spitting out catchy songs, but can write some solid music as well and even keep it within character

Hey cram, I'll be at PP too! But during Gloryhammer and Alestorm I'll be getting piss drunk at the bars because I can't stand either of these gimmick acts

WTF, I'll have to get your ass to see Alestorm, you can't be drinking at the bar when they are playing Drink

they are like the ultimate drinking band

I've seen Alestorm numerous times and was a fan when they were called Battleheart, but I've fucking hated them ever since album #3, and Gloryhammer since day 1, so NO

I even have a drunkenly signed copy of the third album by Chris...

cramx3 · « **Reply #96 on:** April 04, 2018, 07:59:12 AM »

nice alright alright i won't drag you to see them, but I still think their set may be the biggest party of the show. Glen (PPUSA organizer) had thier album as his #1 in his top 50 last year.

The Walrus · « **Reply #97 on:** April 04, 2018, 08:03:58 AM »

Oh no doubt it'll be a wild time. One of the first times I saw them the stage had no less than 2 handles of Captain Morgan, weird sunglasses, a guest appearance from that other Philly-based pirate band and a giant human-sized chicken.

cramx3 · « **Reply #98 on:** April 04, 2018, 08:34:06 AM »

Alestorm released on youtube an entire professionally done concert from 2019 today

ALESTORM - Live in Tilburg 2019

Just put it on and so far this is AWESOME, well done and cool vibe from the show. Reminds me of seeing them twice in 2018.

Definitely making today a much better day

Hmm, odd, I recall commenting on No Grave But the Sea and how that album is excellent. Maybe in a non-Alestorm general thread.

That live concert looks great, will watch more of it. I have seen them live once (at 013 as well) and it was a lot of fun, though unfortunately the sound was just too loud at times.

nattmorker · « **Reply #102 on:** April 11, 2020, 03:34:28 PM »

I was watching it yesterday, it was great and being from Mexico, it is always fun to hear that song live. I still haven't had the chance to see them live, I hope I will soon.

cramx3 · « **Reply #103 on:** May 29, 2020, 02:09:02 PM »

New album out, giving my first listens now and pretty much standard Alestorm so far

nattmorker · « **Reply #104 on:** May 29, 2020, 03:09:21 PM »

I'm also in my first listens. I'm digging it! It's fun and really catchy metal. I'm also digging the rapping in "Tortuga" and it was nice to hear the spanish-spoken part in "Wooden Leg Part 2" (since that's my native language).
