Metal Girl Finds Pirate Metal (Alestorm)

[@tnygma0717]

Dude if you think Alestorm is weird, I got one for you, Nekrogoblikon, yeah, that's right Goblin Metal is a thing, get ready

[@KMPKLOUD]

+1 for Nekrogoblikon, much more heavier and really good band too

[@JoeMyvalyir]

Absolutely check these out, soooooo good!

[@LinzeyRae]

Trey Nygma I think I have seen those guys in passing 🤔🤔 I don’t know if I’ve really heard their music though. I’ll have to check them out! Thanks for the suggestion! 💜

[@Treyvlog]

@@LinzeyRae if you check Nekrogoblikon out make sure to check out the song The Magic Spider

[@rjwolfstudios5861]

yeah they are wacky for sure... but then again aren't they just all following in the footsteps of GWAR? it's all good :)

Power Metal sucks though

[@demonspawnedangel]

Hail Hoots!

[@aaronsirkman8375]

Definitely second that, Gloryhammer is also awesome.

[@lordgino2006]

Fun fact: in the song drink, the second verse is an amalgam of title songs from their three previous album. The songs are: -set sail and conquer -wenches and mead -huntmaster -the quest -the famous ol’ spice -levianthan -back through time -rum shipwrecked

[@loadingerror2975]

And heavy metal pirates

[@StudioSokki]

Omg :D

[@JMEAUS22]

Have a look for “magnetic telephone” you’ll get the parody immediately.

[@shadowbrisbane]

you should check out Wind Rose, they're a Lord of the Rings themed Dwarven metal band as well as Gloryhammer (the lead singer of alestorm is their keyboardist and plays the evil wizard in their stories) and NANOWAR OF STEEL (Valhallelujah is a MUST)

You might want to check out Wind Rose. They're very dwarven, and I love their cover of Diggy Diggy Hole

[@sinan32121]

It's not just the dance moves, Magnetic North also lifted the chords, progression and timing off of Telephone. It's a cover with different lyrics and played on different instruments, but otherwise the same song.

This!

[@09Kadaj]

They're really... original. i thought it was just a wannabe or smt when i heard the first time. But when i got into the "No Grave But The Sea" album. it's just awesome... at the end of the final song they really put you into a "pirate at the ocean" vibe. Really good band besides im still searching why they have a entired version of the album named "For dogs" switching the vocal lines for dogs barking haha. (you should listen "f*ck with an anchor, its hilarious)

[@ReptilianLaserbeam]

They have pretty good songs to drink to, gotta mix them together with korpiklaani

[@LinzeyRae]

ReptilianLaserbeam Might be time to make a drinking playlist 🤔

Reptilian, totally agree. Korpiklaani definitely has their own vibe, but I love it none the less. Definitely two that should be in the same playlist

[@deathsicon]

Korpiklanni, seeing them with Eluveitie was far and away the most fun I've ever had at a show

[@hawfcut2394]

MAgnetic North is a response to Telephone by Lady Gaga, there is a mash up of them, and it's perfect.

[@saveusbloodymess]

The mashap was made(or at least published) by Christopher, the lead singer

[@daran2510]

Linzey, the singer Chris Bowes is also the brains behind Gloryhammer, he plays keyboards in this band but hides himself in a hooded cloak, check em out. Alestorm are massive in Europe and it looks like Gloryhammer will be. Love your music by the way and your voice is phenominal.

Just shared the stage with these guys last year! Really fun stuff and theyre awesome live🔥

[@Canadian_Ry]

If you ever go to one of their shows, make sure to participate in the 'Rowing Pit'!!! (It's worth looking up at least) So much fun!!

[@qqq1701]

I just recently found Alestorm too. I love Captain Morgan's Revenge.

[@daneckberg9566]

Went and saw Alestorm with some friends a few years back. I was very skeptical about “Pirate Metal”, but they put on a great show. And how often do you get to see metal with Keytar... So much fun!

[@jamesbradley5121]

Listened to these for years now, started listening for a joke because of the song F'd with an anchor ... but they actually have a really unique sound and well You're spot on with everything you said so yeah :D p.s Love the Anchor, you guys are all epic.

[@SubwaySweden]

Think Running Wild started the genre back in the 80's but back then it was just called speedmetal. It would be fun (for me) if you would do Gojira, Amon Amarth or Unleashed.

[@brendo9672]

Running Wild were just a metal band with pirate lyrics on some albums. I mean I love Running Wild but bands like Battleheart (later Alestorm), Verbal Deception and such really made it an actual sound

[@S1ckbassplayer]

I heard these guys on a Metal Hammer sampler CD about 10 years ago. I've loved them ever since. My two favourite tracks though are Wolves of the Sea and Leviathon from their Black Sails at Midnight album.

[@jaidynchong]

Christopher Bowes specifically made a mashup of Telephone with Magnetic North; it's worth checking out!

[@MrsCrithammer]

Linzey, I don't know if you've already listened to any of their stuff, but Eluvietie is an amazing folk metal band that you should give a listen. The track "Celtos", off of the album Origins is a good display of their cleans (female) and screams (male).

[@PvttJebus]

I was never a big metal head as a kid, but Alestorm helped me not only explore metal but WACKY metal and I love it. I would LOVE to see your thoughts on TYR! While I'm not sure about music videos, but Mare of my Night and Sunset Shore are killer songs.

[@TheShaddoh]

Funfact the lead vocalist also helped form the group Gloryhammer.

[@caitlincampagno6122]

Brothers of Metal would another awesome band to check out! They are a Swedish Heathen Pagan group who make music for themselves because they love it and want to have fun. Their brand of comedy and lover for the subject matter is a wonderful balance

[@miceandgods4171]

Okay wait a minute.... I was randomly looking through videos when I saw "metal girl tries...". Not many women are into metal and it's always good to see. Figured I'd show my support by giving it a view and thumbs up. But then I looked at your library?!?! "Not that many reaction videos so maybe she's just starting? She seems to like this Anchor band. I'll give them a listen." WTF? Lol. That's you right? Mind blown. That's some serious growls and then some killer pipes. My first thought was Kittie. Just serious hardcore growls that transitions into an excellent normal singing voice. Congrats, just all around respect. We need more women in the genre like Kittie, L7, ect.

[@h1n1virus85]

This like psychostick. Obey the beard. Funny metal song

[@LinzeyRae]

H1N1 virus That was one of my first thoughts! Such a good band 😂

[@ebrokstad]

Psychostick is actually good

[@nathanneuenfeldt2945]

I've suggested them twice!!!

[@setnarod19]

Fun fact: this song also has the same structure as Telephone by Lady Gaga. There’s even a mash-up video with the Alestorm music and Gaga vocals called Magnetic Telephone on Christopher Bowes’ (Alestorm lead singer) YT channel. They match up perfectly.

[@KrakenIsMahB]

i just discovered YOU ,and let me say, this format of reaction is really fresh and nice, liking it despite not seeing whole reaction to the songs

[@santannaguzmansr.1107]

Been subscribed for quite some time. I found Alestorm a while back and totally forgot about them. Thanks for this.

[@anthonyatom]

Oh no Now I'm going to be listening to these guys on Spotify all day. I got into Wizard Metal a couple of months ago and it was a rabbit hole ever since lol

[@aaronsirkman8375]

....What exactly do you mean by "Wizard Metal"?

[@piercesamwcula]

If flogging Molly were pirates this would be them

[@ficskala]

Regarding magnetic north and telephone, it's the same song, search magnetic telephone on youtube and you'll see the full on thing

[@Owl_Space]

For my money, Alestorm's best track is Nancy the Tavern Wench off their Live at the end of the world album. As far as the Gaga parody, Christopher Bowes, Alestorm's lead singer is a massive Gaga fan. If you go to his channel here on YT, there's a video titled Magnetic Telephone which is a mashup if Magnetic North with Telephone and it is GLORIOUS.

[@LadyMedusia]

I love Alestorm. Also their shows live get crazy an super fun honestly was one of the best shows ive been to.

[@HansJorgenHansen]

They are fun guys! My band Svartsot did a European tour with them back in 2008. It was a blast!

[@socratessbartender9790]

"Questing Upon the Poop Deck" is one that will shock your brain, give you the giggles, and have you wondering just how filthy your mind is. :D

[@joemacy-themetalcook2279]

Hell yeah, Alestorm rocks! I love the non-traditional instruments that fit in so well. Kind of like Viking Metal

[@Bled_x]

I can recommend an endless well of bands for you to check out. A good rabbit hole to go down is the Viking Metal / Swedish Death Metal/ Melodic Death Metal bands (focusing on bands from Europe). You've likely heard of Amon Amarth, which is a good place to start. You'll come across bands like In Flames, Scar Symmetry, At The Gates, Soilwork, Solution .45, Sonic Syndicate, The Unguided, among countless other amazing bands that helped influence metal music in ways that most aren't aware. You'll also find hidden gems that you will never forget. Enjoy.

[@joseflacman2669]

Alestorm are awesome.. i've seen them 2 times already on stage and thats incredible.. totaly worth it. Funny, exciting, melodic, stuff that makes you go crazy and sets up party mood.. 🤘🤣

[@DocFlay]

I am stunned that Alestorm haven't sailed across your horizon before. Never assume metal and being serious have to go together, or mean there must be a compromise, especially if they are British. Once not giving a damn about what people think of you it frees you to be more creative and go as far as you want. Try the original WTF? metal band "Lawnmower Deth", with such classics as "Sheep-dip, Maim Mower Maim, Did you Spill My Pint ?, Oooooooooh Crikey !", and who could forget the evergreen "Satan's Trampoline". Tongue firmly wedged into the cheek, but no compromise in the brutal punk/metal music. Still going strong today.

[@goatboy172]

Another one of my favorite bands! You are killing it Linzey! I can't wait to see y'all again, and I can't wait for the next video in this series. I'd also recommend Psychostick. I imagine you've heard of them, but if not, you're in for a treat.

[@themplar]

They recently released a show in Tilburg here on youtube to ease the pain of the lockdown. And boy thats not a concert, its a party.

[@shitbrickeggs]

Love these guys, glad to see someone else dig them, make me a proud Scotsman myself

[@bexwhitt9064]

You should check out a band named Imminence. They're from Sweden. Their older stuff is more heavy metal but their newer stuff has a lot more of him singing and playing the violin. I think they'll be up your alley

[@Boss-_]

"I don't know why [they made a parody of Gaga's Telephone video]" Search "Magnetic Telephone" on Christopher Bowes's channel. "They are talented" Christopher Bowes: "We're not talented like other bands, so we're just gonna do something silly and have fun"

[@cristinofuentes7275]

Cool vid! I really enjoy watching these! I think the only pirate metal sounding band I’ve heard is Nekrogoblikon. You should check out Iced Earths album “The Dark Saga” the whole album is about the comic book character Spawn and you might already know about within the ruins but they have an album called “phenomena” and each track is about a different comic book character

[@Grouuumpf]

For magnetic north... right after napalm records published the clip on YT, the singer realeased "magnetic telephone" on his channel, the voices from telephone over the music from magnetic north. Still no idea "why", but it was fun to see ^^

[@WildBillKelso32]

I friggin love these guys. They have a new one coming out too.

[@jthompson7175]

Alestorm puts on a fun live show. I saw them last year and their merch had sold out, so they had a for sale sign on their inflatable rubber ducky prop during their set. Of course they closed on Fucked with an Anchor, which is a hilarious and catchy song.

[@StudioSokki]

It's not just the music video for Magnetic North, the entire song is metal Telephone. Pretty sure Christopher Bowes just loves the song and did his own tribute to it. :D

[@reynolds4413]

You should see them live! OMG it's an amazing experience!

[@ericgaudet4497]

Glad to see your having fun watching videos from ALESTORM . Looking forward to seeing what you have to think about The Warning. TWA4L

For Magnetic North, Christopher Bowes (the singer) wrote it based on the lady gaga song. He even made a mashup with those two songs on his channel!!

[@ZanZerejin]

Found out a few months ago that there is a Dwarf metal band. Making dwarven metal based on dwarfs from Lord of the Rings.

[@MetaJew]

[@MoonfireXD]

As a folk metal nerd, I feel like you need to expand from pirate folk metal and experience Viking folk metal. Brothers of Metal is a really great lesser-known band. As far as pirate folk metal goes though, try Stormseeker as well. Lesser-known band, really good shit. They’re my favourites from each genre and I’m too tired to think of more... but I’m curious about your opinion of Mongolian folk metal too now. Throat singing adds a crazy new level of awesome imo.

[@erikrandan7294]

You should do more Alestorm. The song "Alestorm" I remember reading is the "to be continued" Also, "Fucked with an Anchor". You will be in stitches.

[@HALberdier17]

They did make a sequel to Magnetic North's video. The beginning of the video for the song Alestorm starts with the band lying in a pile on the ground and the car that they drove off the cliff wrecked in the background.

[@johnvroman245]

Raise a 🍺 if you’ve had the good fortune of seeing Alestorm perform live in all the rum and ale filled glory deserving of a pirate band!!!

[@Raijin-RyuX24]

That is exactly how I discovered Alestorm. Was digging down a KZbin rabbit hole some years back and came across a song called Shipwrecked. Was very entertained.

[@illninophanatik]

Keeping with the pirate metal theme, Swashbuckle is a fun band. I saw them live years ago and their song Cruise Ship Terror is on point.

[@dooommusic1987]

Linzey is adorable!!! If you like pirate metal, I dont necessarily know what's called but I'll call it dwarven metal the band name is called "Windrose"

[@mcleary9615]

I recommend a band called Lord of The Lost, they are a german gothic band, they have a cover of Bad Romance. But they also have beautiful classical albums. All their music is brilliant

Ale Storm has gotten so much better since I first found them. And their latest album. They're just havin fun. Treasure Chest Party Quest. Lol omg! Christopher Bowes has an xmas song, a song about beans, he even protested pirates with the west boro baptist church a couple Warped Tours ago. 😆 Oh and "F*ked with an Anchor" of their last album is a perfect and cheeky song when youre just in a fed up mood. Lol 🍻

[@TheNeonParadox]

Alestorm = fun. I love them. Even some of their songs that are more serious in nature exploring pirate history, they still make fun and goofy videos for.

[@galacticriminalx]

[@squallloky]

If only you would've taken songs from their previous albums, they were more pirate-ey like keelhauled xD Terrorsquid xD And this band actually is a good way to introduce people who aren't into metal. For my gf, it went from easier stuff like Tyr and Alestorm up to Despised Icon and Chelsea Grin

[@hannahstevenson27]

Alestorm are pretty normal compared to bands like Trollfest, who randomly bark in their songs 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I LOVE Alestorm, by the way. Running Wild. Their early stuff is ‘Pirate Metal’. Alestorm reference them in one of their songs, too

[@kobeni_jpeg]

Try Wind Rose, drunken Dwarves and the Returning Race :D

[@Fobia17]

You should also check out Dread Crew of Oddwood, 100% acoustic pirate metal- they call it heavy mahogany. Met them at a Renaissance fair and have been a fan since

[@Zebban99]

React to the band who actually invented the pirate metal genre, they are called Running Wild :D

[@juancarloszuniga5428]

The parody goes further. The main riff is an edit from Gaga's song. Christopher Bowes has a video about this somewhere in his personal channel.

[@kouldbayne]

Alestorm has some amazing hidden gems if you've never heard them. The first song I ever heard of theirs was shipwrecked and afterwards I was sold lol.

[@KillerTonTon]

So glad to see you checked out Alestorm lol if you ever have the chance to see them live, I'd recommend it for sure; I have never seen an accordion, parrot, python, and a fiddle solo, all at once, til them. What are your thoughts on Rap Metal, like DVSR or Hacktivist, any chance you'll check them out?

[@elliottblackwell1747]

Not sure if you’ve seen it already, buuut Slipknot “spit it out live at download 2009” is a sick vid. Its runs around 8 minutes

[@howlukemethisfather]

Chris (the singer) mashed up magnetic north and telephone and it works surprisingly well. Someone mashed the video too, check it out, it’s excellent

[@grakimas]

Fun fact: In the second verse of Drink they mention 10 titles of their other songs

[@LotteYanson]

I remember I first heard of Alestorm from a substitute teacher I had in high school of all people. I had my headphones in and he asked what I was listening to and I told him Halestorm. He then replied, “If you drop the first letter of that you’ll get another great band. Alestorm.” I checked them out when I got home and they were certainly... something.

[@Evildaddy911]

Christopher Bowes is the kind of guy who just does whatever the hell he wants, and he's got enough talent to pull it off. Also there is more pirate metal - check out Rumahoy, they're very similar in the "let's do crazy shit" vibe. Also, since you loved Brittney Slayes from UTA, look up Melissa Bonny of Ad Infinitum - listen to March on Versailles, keep in mind she's the only vocalist in that group

[@jeroen0011]

Its been a thing since 2008. I bought their first album 10 years ago when they began!

You need to check out their songs, "Fucked by and Anchor", "Mexico", and "Treasure Chest Party Quest"

[@valkoranblade]

So to give you context on Magnetic North they did that in the theme of Lady GaGa's Telephone on purpose, if you go to Christopher Bowes (Alestorm's Lead Singer) KZbin channel and look for Magnetic Telephone you'll see

[@DoomGrim]

Another band to check out if you haven't yet is Powerwolf, which is christian werewolf power metal. also signed to Napalm. Incense and Iron, and Devils are a girls best friend are some of my favorites of theirs
