Australian Metalhead First Time Reaction to The Longest Johns - “Wellerman”

If you are looking for something more specific to them, I recommend "Hoist up the thing" or " Moby Duck"

If Black Flag ut you off boats I recommend Sea of Thieves to get you right back on board :) The music video had a strong SoT vibe to me. :)

Oh hey, a TLJ reaction I haven't seen, nice! I kind of agree with you that this video is a bit boring, but the thing is, it's BECAUSE they had a bigger budget and an actual professional film crew! Their record label at the time wanted a more professional looking video, but I think it would have been a lot better if they had just done their usual silly and charming stuff. Check out Hoist up the Thing, The Llandoger, The Curse, Scrooge, Got No Beard, Skadi's Hammer, Hard Times Come Again No More, or The Last Bristolian Pirate for, in my opinion, way better videos. I would absolutely recommend going to see them when they go to Australia next year. I'm from Sweden, and I went to see them in Oxford earlier this year, and it was SOOOOO worth it! They're fantastic live! Their energy and ability to spread joy is incredible. I'm actually going to the UK again in February, to follow them and another band on a week long tour. And I'm not the only one going from another country. There will be at least a few Germans, a Belgian and one or two Americans too, going to one or several of those shows. The Longest Johns are a fantastic band in general. Amazing singers and amazing people. They're also really down to Earth, they're very close to their community, they remember individual fans they meet, they always make sure to let people come talk to them after their shows. There's a big risk for some emotional whiplash with their songs though. One minute they're singing about people drowning or freezing to death, and the next it's all about fighting a giant duck. They also sometimes do community videos, where fans film themselves singing along to a guide track, and then they edit it all together to one big videos with hundreds of faces and voices singing together. They actually have one of Wellerman, which had like 6500 people participating! I like that video a lot more than this one.

Oh, I forgot! If you like AC Black Flag, you might like their videos of singing along to the shanties in the game. They have a series of some actual gameplay, with one or two songs in each video, and also one video with all the shanties in it.
