Alestorm - Rehearsal July 2011 - The Sunk'n Norwegian

No backing tracks, no overdubs, no bullshit. Sorry for the nasty mix. Only the 2nd time we've ever played this as a band, so it's a bit rusty :P
Recorded at the Poppodium 013, Tilburg, Netherlands, on July 8th 2011

[@JustinLindnerPhotography]

This band is criminally underrated

[@Schattengewaechs99]

I think it's good they are not "mainstream", the fanbase doesn't have to deal with idiots.

[@hyperchrisz]

@jglitch0 We've never had a long haired drummer. 1st one: Graham - (June 2004 - August 2004 ) - short hair 2nd one: Doug - (April 2006 - September 2006 ) - bald 3rd one: Ian (August 2007 - February 2010) - short hair 4th one: Alex (June 2008 - July 2008) - bald Current: Pete (Feb 2010 - Present) - short hair

[@davidhaney1394]

keep Pete ....he`s amazing.

[@archeotom90]

Pete's facial expressions are awesome :P

[@TheotherPoolboy]

my favourite song off the new album... i love you guys so much

[@electrichobo-u9k]

You are awesome Chris. You are an awesome pirate rockstar and yet you still reply to us mortals.

[@LordOfTheJizz]

With normal clothing, Chris looks like the geek that says non related facts to the conversations

[@carnagethrashItUp]

its just fucking awesome to see a band like this play so raw and in the early stages and im actually able to relate to how my band sounds still sometimes... love this song.

[@NicolasLaucirica]

drummer and singer kick asssss

[@BloodmoonCollective]

I would be so honored if one day my band could play a show with you guys! :)

[@Figantro]

can't wait to see it live!!

[@1Makan2]

I'm from Norway and I love this song! Keep up guys

[@jamesdunlop8987]

Peter is the most badass drummer in the world!

[@Blotshrafn]

weird that just after I posted the comment, I realised this IS Chris' actual channel, so I got a little surprised :P totally gonna subscribe though xD

[@smiffyboy13]

You guys are the freaking best! my fave band in the whole world! i was going to see you live but i was skint :/ i love the new drummer pete he's so full of energy :) keeeep the songs coming man my ipod need more songs to listen to 1000 times ;D Metal /,,/ - Smiffy

[@SiLeNTzWoot]

Loved you guys at both Sonisphere and Heidenfest (London) - definitely wasn't drunkenly singing this song with my mates in the tube station after Heidenfest, with random commuters staring at us, I wouldn't do such a thing ;) Was awesome having a drunken chat with Chris outside the venue too, such a cool guy!

[@hyperchrisz]

haha, migo didn't know how any of the songs went, so he'd play about 2 bars at a time, and we glued it all together in protools :P

[@biznar999]

I cant wait to finally See you guys Live at Summer Breeze this Year! Im so looking forward to it!! =)

[@ShadowKick32]

Feels like good ol times

[@perseveringsoul9438]

i love you guys, are amazing

[@NSEasternShoreChemist]

These guys look like they're seriously having fun. But who doesn't have fun when listening to Alestorm?

[@Blotshrafn]

that new drummer sure makes a good showman behind those cans :P I wish I can see them again soon, last time I saw them were when they played in sweden for the very first time on Rockstad Falun 2010, they were rather wasted back then :P but as I have heard from interviews with chris, they have stopped drinking before the shows and such and perform sober and by that have improve a lot Live. Hail Alestorm, the most Epic Pirates there ever will be!

[@ndcouey70]

Fun stuff guys, looking forward to seeing you play 09/21/2011

[@PCGotGames]

Perfect.

[@NeCamp0s]

great band! greetings from Chile!

[@DelrienProd]

Goshdarnit Chris, I almost pissed myself the moment you started singing.

[@mikeonis]

This song fucking owned at Paganfest, key club show was awesome! You guys took the show!

[@Rabbyck1527]

we NEED you in Chile!! :D

[@SnorkyO]

Heard the live debut of this at Sonisphere 2011

[@lanstrac]

Glad to see u in Zurich friday 19 februar !! i don't care about Sabaton ! I'm a pirate ! ^^

[@Schattengewaechs99]

Gopfridstutz, ä Scallywag us dr Schwiiz! Sälü Schiffskamerad!

[@hyperchrisz]

@jglitch0 That was Ian. I wouldn't call his hair "long" there, more like "I forgot to get a haircut for a couple of months". :P

[@Kasamoto91]

"willies" LMFAO!

[@ΚαρκίνοςΜυαλό]

Mark Bailey ikr!

[@BattleAxePirate]

@HyperChris It was a long time since I seen the website, I just tried looking for it again and I couldn't find it. On google the content preview said something like "supporting piracy" and it had a lot of band info. It at least looked legit O.O But on the website there where only three profiles; You, Daniel, and Peter.

[@tegas3820]

3:55 "NO... GRAVE... BUT... THE.... SEEEEEAAAAA!!"

[@Sammet47]

Alestorm is the best on this side of the ocean

[@JamRagExplosion]

Look at you younguns. Babystorm.

[@diddymonster]

you guys ruled at sonisphere i was right at the front in the middle (the most fun act at sonisphere)

[@paytizzle]

I heart you guys

[@asmodeo97]

Christopher,welcome to Brazil

[@Rhyooski]

I hope you're finely tuned for Sheffield in 2012!

[@Vo1dOfHope]

best song from the new albun :)

[@bagera93]

awsome Alestorm rules just picked up Leviathan and Captain morgans revenge^^ on cd

[@saturngamer1997]

I really love your songs, your style... you came to Mexico last year, but I was unable to asist.. You are coming again right?? ---BY THE WAY, I dream this song that´s how I like it ( VERY MUCH ) I want ONE MORE DRINK!!!

[@ADeadlierSnake]

EPIC!!!!! =D

[@Blotshrafn]

@maggedude and by wasted I mean hat I got the impression that they drank quite alot before the gig :P

[@asmodeo97]

very very good

[@righteouskillmick]

Wtf?! You rehearse at the 013? Nice!

[@hyperchrisz]

@BattleAxePirate Are you sure? I just imagesearched google for "Alestorm", and every picture has 4 people in it apart from a couple where you can't see a drummer :O

[@pcgaming4944]

I love you

[@NSEasternShoreChemist]

Willies!

[@hyperchrisz]

@BattleAxePirate There's always been 4 people in alestorm! What made you think otherwise?!

[@malofa99]

I was laughing pretty hard watching Pete's face.

[@w0mbatina]

Awesome! I love the last album, great as the first two :D I have one question tho. How come you only have one guitarist? Wouldn't two enable you to pull of the songs better live?

[@mikeonis]

Please Pete, don't spontaneously combust... Or Alestorm will become the new Spinal Tap. We can't have that ;)

[@UnderwaterFuzzPedal]

what about Migo Wagner? i know the notes say he was just a session drummer but his work on the first album gives me fuckin' goosebumps every time.. it sounds like there's an octopus behind the kit.. no drummer since has sounded like that. his style helped make that album what it is. incredible. also, when i see you guys live i'm gonna jump on stage with my tin whistle and rock this one out with you, if they let me in the venue with it, anyway. please don't keelhaul me..

[@ethanscott4983]

NORWAY! BEER! PIRATES!!!

[@JesperRossen]

@Thewmass Pirates are always happy :D

[@BattleAxePirate]

@HyperChris Your... Website? Last time I checked there where only three people unless I'm blind D: And there are A LOT of Alestorm pictures on the internet with only three people.

[@BattleAxePirate]

@Jarshsopinion Haha. Okay! People xD stop commenting! I get it! Alestorm has a bassist! He's important! I will never forget him! I LOVE YOU, Gareth! Happy now!? XD

[@Cindercrisp]

damn i wish i knew that alestorm played at the 013 back then... i would've taken my (now ex-)girlfriend there for her birthday, she would've loved it, only thing we still have in common.

[@BattleAxePirate]

WTH I thought there where only three guys in Alestorm? What did I miss...?

[@niv0070]

YOU ARE AWESOME.. so Chris.. what about coming to Israel?

[@sgthies]

Alestorm will rock Wacken 2013! \m/

[@4842arendal]

Is 'The sunken Norwegian' just fictional, or is there more to the song? Great recharsal :-)

[@BattleAxePirate]

@Natedorg911 I thought there was no bass player

[@soulhunterrx]

hey chris im seing yah live this sunday in tilburg just a question are you going on a random strole throught the croud again? and can you yell batmans revenge instead of captain morgans revenge if your playing that song it would be realy fucking funny also.. realy looking forward to it greetings some random metalhead attending the concert

[@gerunkwon2598]

How did you enjoy the Sunk'n Norwegian? I would like to know if it is really worth traveling to.

[@OMGYB]

What were you doing with the drums when there wasn't any drummer? (August 2004 - April 2006, September 2006 - August 2007)

[@AnthonyNelsonPhoto]

Damn, you've had a large amount of percussionists in in your band. xD

[@jackdorward]

hahaha did u say willies at the end XD

[@USMAUSNA09]

Was Pete in the Shipwrecked video?

[@MCPostilaatikko]

[@mikeonis]

Haha, 0:37 to 0:57 was my favorite part of the video lol

[@SnorkyO]

Need bass tabs for this

[@Ph0b0ssss]

I'd like them to play Death throes to the terrorsquid :)

[@HeavyMetalWolves]

So tight. But, Peter, get it together.

[@1Makan2]

@FatalFantasy I know, it's a bar in Wisconsin, but don't ruin the fun of it

[@1Makan2]

@FatalFantasy Yeah I know

[@lecisko]

He's making THE WEDDING DRUMMER ;)

[@PureHayabusa]

@TimsAccountLol im a shirtless, mouth breathing drummer as well :D mainly because your body heat rises to a billion degrees behind the kit and i have very bad asthma but hey, its all about your playing is it not

[@cupacase44]

Is it true that you´re going to record a new album?

[@DeathMetalMosh]

Yes

[@NaturBLK]

All of your songs are in C tuning??

[@aussiesbest1]

[@BattleAxePirate]

@Natedorg911 A band that doesn't want a bassist :X

[@juanenorse]
