[@MumbleEtc]

[@ElliotVernon]

Thank you!

[@mauricioramirezzamora1371]

+Elliot Vernon PURE GENIOUS!!!

[@hidekiryuga9767]

I love your music and I'm glad that you guys still are actual humans as your live intro says. Your shows are so much fun and I can't wait to see you live this month!(It's gonna be my first concert)

[@reekitrhymeswithweak4107]

You are the best in Alestorm, i'm a big fan of you Elliot. I'm so glad to see you in concert ! Your vocals are amazing and I love your work. Well done !

[@KidiusShrediusMaximus]

Okay i'm not even gonna try covering this. THIS IS WAY TOO MUCH HAND MOVEMENT AAARGH You're a keyboard god to me

[@ElliotVernon]

If you can play 1741 you can easily play this, it's almost all just chords broken up

[@KidiusShrediusMaximus]

Haha I'll try!

[@elishabraham3422]

I got distracted by your phone showing what you're doing but a little later either way this is so awesome

[@ThemightyPooge]

Thank you Elliot!

[@baronsloth3866]

How come you don't play this song live? My goosebumps got goosebumps all over them

[@ElliotVernon]

We do sometimes! Check out the video called "Alestorm, Moscow 19.09.2015" and skip to 22:30

[@baronsloth3866]

Thanks, sounds great!

[@cotedeporc5754]

that's simply awesome, keep it up man !

[@smfaceHUN]

The beginning reminded me of a finntroll song from back in the day but still, great playthrough!

[@Trashket]

I saw you all January, and seeing this shows me how you raise the bar in the band. Love the keyboards on the new album BTW.

[@edwardwatts9123]

Awesome. Surf Squid Warfare next! :)

[@zombibomb3018]

Excelente!! Genio sos el mejor!! saludos desde Argentina !!

[@HeyHeyDoYouLikeTacos]

Looks like you're still awesome, Elliot! Hope to see you guys Down Under sometime soon! :)

[@drannoc8736]

Awesome Elliot !

[@TomPoes000]

Just awesome :D

[@metalheadmike69]

SET SAIL!

[@hidekiryuga9767]

SET SAIL FOR THE MEAD... FROM...

[@ignazero]

Nice play Elliot !

[@mardraum9]

First of all, thanks for uploading! :) It looks like the settings are changing on their own during certain parts of the song, do you have to have it hooked up to a computer/laptop or similar in order to get this effect or can you program the keyboard to do it on its own after X seconds/minutes? Just trying to simplify my own keyboard set up and this looks awesome! :)

[@ElliotVernon]

+mardraum9 I'm using a footswitch which I press to go to the next sound

[@jpcerrone]

Awesome sounds ! What do you use to change your combis like that ?

[@ElliotVernon]

+jpcerrone Just a simple footswitch (Boss FS-5U) which is set to do "program up" and go to the next sound

[@matthiaswellingmusic8708]

Very good ! :D Just a question : what's the label of this keyboard ? (Korg, Yamaha...) I would like to have the same ! ;D

[@staalejonko]

Matthias Welling This is the Korg KROSS 61 Keyboard Workstation :D

[@matthiaswellingmusic8708]

Steely Ok thanks mate ! ;D

[@Pab63]

Can you give us the sheet music please ? :)

[@ElliotVernon]

Pab Folkfan There is no sheet music - this top-down view makes it pretty straightfoward to follow what I'm doing though!

[@metalfox146]

Was this you recording your part of the song on your keyboard or were you just covering one of your own songs?

[@ElliotVernon]

This is just a "cover" I suppose, in the studio we use real violins and a bunch of different instruments played by various people (and me, and Chris). However when we come to playing the songs live, I have to recreate all those sounds in the one keyboard I use on stage and this was pretty much a practise run and a demonstration to show the band how I'd play it.

[@fabsalomon85]

Thanks for the upload when will you guys be in Australia again? and is it possible to purchase a bootleg from a recent concert straight from the soundboard please

[@falcadobb421]

MEAD FROM HELL!!!! \m/ *_* \m/

[@flipperowski584]

i'm still trying to figure out this combi, i just started working with kross 2, and it seems that here are 2 combies, that change dynamicly, while on k2 it takes time...

[@ElliotVernon]

@@flipperowski584 there are 10 combis in this song, I'm stepping through them with a footswitch

[@flipperowski584]

@ElliotVernon oh wow, thanks. I found out that switching presents and combis on 1 is faster than on 2

[@flipperowski584]

​@@ElliotVernoncan I ask, if you used here sounds just by manipulating Kross default sounds? Sorry for this questions, I want to use my piano skills for something other than classical music...

[@ElliotVernon]

@@flipperowski584 Pretty much yeah, with the Kross 1 you can't load in user samples so everything is just based on combis and programs in the keyboard. I've done a lot of editing and layering/splitting for different patches, but it's all stuff that comes in the keyboard.

[@flipperowski584]

@ElliotVernon okey, tysm

[@reekitrhymeswithweak4107]

Will you play other musics like this ? :)

[@pianist7137]

Why is it transposed? (i'm a pianist so these stuff are still pretty new to me)

[@ilovemoneysobad3878]

Elliot I beg you, please give me the sheet music. You are to fast for me to follow. But other than that, you and Chris are my heroes.

[@SFStransit]

Why are the keys painted red?

[@CopeDelijeSeVeR]

Is there any chance I could get a sheet for this ? ^^

[@niklasbahn655]

Google says you died 1996! WTF?!

[@jakphannak817]

You know too much.

[@TheTypoMatser]

I suspect it isn't as easy to play this when you're singing and the keyboard is a vertical as a key-tar

[@ElliotVernon]

+Kaleer101 What? This is exactly how I play this on stage, with this exact keyboard.

[@hidekiryuga9767]

Chris is the singer with the keytar

[@eljonnymac]

I got view 666!
