[@headfullofdreams6083]

I'm impressed with the fact they obviously did a whole music analysis of alestorm music purely to parody them properly

[@nattiedraws]

Nanowar is brilliant that way. They are like Weird Al's style parodies, he is able to understand the intricacies of each band he parodies, much akin to how Nanowar does it. It's very entertaining

[@headfullofdreams6083]

@@nattiedraws Yeah, exactly. It's one thing to just make a funny song, it's a whole other game to do it like this

[@Pentarax]

@@nattiedraws There's an added level of brilliance with the sampling here too; Alestorm once sampled a portion of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme in the song "No Quarter". Nanowar sampled the SCUMM Bar theme from The Secret of Monkey Island.

This is just incredibly good. I wonder what Alestorm themselves think of it.
