i would just like to point out that vikings and pirates were totaly different. vikings were thieves and bastards. pirates were thieves were thieves and bastards in cool hats.
You realise that vikings were not thieves and bastards at all, but had a bigger honour-code then pirates? Popular culture begs to differ, but you would be best off ignoring that.
Vikings were largely farmers, not raiders. The raiders did kick arse though.
And for the record, viking raiders basicly -are- pirates.
@nirvanaishdude You say that vikings were not theives and bastards, then you go on to say "for the record viking raiders basicaly are pirates" They can't be both!
@MrMeKid I dunno. Iron or steel rune inscribed helmets make for pretty cool hats. Either way, both are awesome, and neither are a good thing to see sail into harbour
@NiggeliNG ofc there still diffrenceses fool dumbass but i dont get why u cant understand that a viking can be a pirate.The term Viking is customarily used to refer to the Norse explorers, warriors, merchants, and PIRATES who raided. Got that nobrain???
@NiggeliNG u mister idiot are quite frankly a person that cant really fully understand my words...poor lad... :( i feel sry for people that have a slow brain like yours :/ its ok lil lad
an epic song, by an epic band, would strongly reccomend anyone who is into this to listen to tyr, their lyrics are often icelandic with few english lyrics but ver much worth anyone listening to
I hate all these discussions so much. what is the heaviest band etc.
you guys aren't seriously discussing if Pirates or Odin is more ridiculous, aren't you?
cant you just listening to alestorm and enjoy it as a very joyful and funny band AND in addition listen to other bands too? Sometimes I am in the mood for "scottish-pirate-metal" and sometimes I want some wannabe nordic viking stuff. And sometimes I need my black metal. So why is there so much dispute?
@mistyChacha I don't want to come off sounding like a dickhead so I'll refrain from voicing how much I hate Avenged on an Alestorm vid but if you're in need of some real interesting modern metal, check out Moonsorrow, Primordial and Ensiferum to name a few. They do some really great things instrumentally and I think they're some of the best bands the genre has going for it right now.
@MegaMrPieman Trust me man, everytime I hear someone praise A7x as the modern flag bearer for metal or something like that I die inside. I don't want to start a big flame war here between A7x fans and haters on an Alestorm vid. All I'll say is that I think that there are many bands who are completely overlooked by the American media whose music really captures the epic romantic grandeur of metal and I don't think you can really find that with the "core" bands.
@MegaMrPieman I can only assume they're younger. Let's face it, when I was 10 I thought Slipknot was TEH MOST BR00TALEST THING EVER and right now, A7X is probably the heaviest thing being played on mainstream radio etc. so I can understand them. Had I heard early Priest or Maiden when I was young, I probably would have written it off as bad because it lacks gutteral screams and isn't as "heavy" as a band like Slipknot.
okay, 30 seconds passed, the intro started and I'm already thinking of getting a new CD. That's fast. Never having heard of this band before today and stuff. The world definitely needs more music like this. love at first sight <3
I'm watching pirates of the Caribbean while listening to this great stuff :D

Vikings vs Pirates? meh, Vikings are basically pirates anyway
they're just pirates from before the "classic" pirates
imo they'd probably whup normal pirates in cqc, but since they don't have cannons or pistols I doubt enough would get close to make a difference
though as someone whose middle name is Thor, I have to say I'm mildly annoyed that they aren't pronouncing it correctly
