Battleheart - Heavy Metal Pirates(Rare Track)

[nathankreuzer]

my dad thanks this BattleHeart game is fun for him and me

[nathankreuzer]

i have this BattleHeart game on my dads mobile pone

[EdTheDragonSlayer]

dont like the vocal too much, but the instru is way better than the new version

[JackTheDaw]

Mr. Pirate sounds horrible! I know that a pirate isn't supposed to be spot on the tones, but this singing is just painfull to my ears! :(

[pandabeer75]

THIS IS ALESTORM....... BUT THEN LIVE oh god!

[Vanhir1986]

its Aletstorm. They performed before as Battleheart

[talibanfighter911]

PURE PIRATE MUSIC!

[Metalflamme]

poeple say this is not pirate... but actually it's the first pirate metal song ever made! This is the old album

[ChasingFlies]

This doesn't sound like pirate singing >.>

[1994AcdcFan]

what did they use to record chris?, either it's the mic, or he did get better

[TheEmpireofEagles]

I like the fact you can hear Christopher isnt a perfect singer, he doesn't hit the right notes all the time. I like it it means he hasn't used autotune, but also sounds much more raw

[xXSimonWizardXx]

The vocals is the singer from GWAR.. amm i right? ;)

[remfores12]

@xXSimonWizardXx no, is Christopher Bowes from alestorm, battlehearth and alestorm was the same band but in 2007 they changed the name to alestorm

[xXSimonWizardXx]

@remfores12 ahh ok didnt know that.. but i could swear the vocals both band Gwar and Battleheart sound likely same. maybe im wrong :)

[AyrtonIsGod]

@xXSimonWizardXx Nope

[AppBuddy]

nice review..got a lot of battleheart walkthrough in AppBuddy site...subscribe at AppBuddy for more...

[Khanisghen]

the vocals SUCK

[timpilba]

@Khanisghen yeah I agree, the mix is a bit uggly...

[rafelericsteel]

i don't like this vocal! but the instrumental is very good!

[jwslayer25]

pirate metal by Winds of plague.... dont know how i feel about that...

[Shagger]

I love the way people seem to be preferring this to Alestorm's version or vice versa...

THE'RE THE SAME BAND YOU SPECIALS!

I see that runescapematty616 (as well as others) have tried to clarify this, so think, or at least read, before you post something stupid.

[runescapematty616]

for all those who do not know:

Alestorm is a folk/powermetal band from Perth, Schotland, founded under the name Battleheart in 2004. In 2007 they changed the name to Alestorm.

[JetpackNinjaDinosaur]

This is terrible. :/

Give me alestorm plox.

[RolandTheHermit]

this is beyond epic.

i want to sail the seas and find treasure =)

[JohnoJayMac]

Heavy Metal Pirates is a single from the Power/Folk metal band, Alestorm. It was released as a digital download on April 24, 2008, and was Alestorm's first song released since the debut of their album, Captain Morgan's Revenge. The song was recorded during the same sessions as the album but left off the final track listing. "Heavy Metal Pirates" is actually the first song written by Alestorm (under the "Battleheart" name) -- WikipediaToTheRescue :|

[lokom123]

I like the music, but the vocals ruin it...

[MercedesKawasaki]

@lokom123 completely agreed man, those vocals are horrible!!!! what a pity....

[DedaraRappelz]

@lokom123 agreed, i heard the guitars and i was like "pretty nice" then i heard the vocals and my ears vomitted =/

[Zudi95]

lol the vocals suck

[dazsoad9]

chris's voice sounds so loud.. has he eaten the mic? and sounds slightly american too, still alestorm are the tits!

[Polak356]

WTF? how many Alestorm songs have they done?

[GuterSchenkel23]

@Polak356 its the same band.

[BloodnGutsMurphy]

reminds me a little of uh, shit cant remember... keep on Metaling dudes

[PoPoRybnik]

omg vocal here sucks. Alestorm is better

[skullandbonespirates]

If you like pirate metal check out "Skull & Bones" first demo track

on my channel !!

[Wrathwithin18]

Honestly that sucks.. of course its not the Studio version of Alestorm.. but I must admit Alestorm ain't good live.. cuz.. They're drunk.xD And that's a hellova true.. Just look at their live videos dudes.. you'll see them with a bottle of jack Daniels.xD :) But in studio they're good.. and should be good live too.. if they weren't drunk.

[Quadraxis]

Heavy Metal Pirates you say?

Franky, anyone =P

[ProductNumber02]

I was enjoying this till he sang.

[SilverAsakura]

My god, this is Alestorm before they signed a contract, you ignorant assmunches! KELLHAUL!

[sheffbhoy]

Words. Simply. Fail. Me. That really was shocking.

[FirsToStrike]

Chris is the best bad singer i've ever heard. This is awesome.

A lot of effort went into making this by the entire band, you can feel it.

[InNomineEnsiferum]

so is alestorm/battleheart like a perfect circle/tool thing? they used to be alestorm or used to be battleheart?

[rockleepowerbfme2]

this was made before chris found his true inner pirate voice but still this kicks ass they should do a remake of this (ALESTORM KICK ASS)

[Oempfelfighter]

i think Alestorm is better

[caveman497]

@Oempfelfighter That is Alestorm!!!!!!

[KyllingenKaj]

I like the original version better, the one with Alestorm. This is decent though I guess.

[KleerSkeleton]

@KyllingenKaj

are you aware that made yourself a paradox?

[Cabahomi]

@KleerSkeleton

No, he didn't

[KleerSkeleton]

@Cabahomi

Im pretty sure he did

[lotrax]

@KleerSkeleton he did indeed. because Battleheart = Alestorm.

After getting signed at napalm's they changed the name to alestorm :)

[KeepRidingTheLines]

@KleerSkeleton

Uhm he didn't? :\

[mattreysol]

@KleerSkeleton battleheart was the name of alestorm before

this version is different so this can be confusing for many

i prefer the alestorm ep version

[RCTThrAshFTWIN]

@KleerSkeleton He did, He contradicted himself as Battleheart is Alestorm ;)

[Thigrai]

@KleerSkeleton He said that this is "decent" and that he liked Alestorm's version better. If you believe this to be paradoxical -- you need to relearn the terms.

[metalskelly]

@KleerSkeleton are you aware that you don't know what a paradox is?

[Candy1642]

@KleerSkeleton

Yah he did... Battleheart came first, later renamed to Alestorm when signed.

[einblauesplektrum]

@KleerSkeleton: yeah, original version=this. alestorm-version=different one :D so that was a paradox- but i dont see any reason why that would be important xD xD

[DarkenedEmptyWorld]

@einblauesplektrum

I dont know if you can say there is an original and a copy song because it is

the same band :P

[einblauesplektrum]

@DarkenedEmptyWorld haha thats right :) but there is a first and a second version, i think this is the first

[caltordude]

@einblauesplektrum yea its the first cause in the second one the singer got a bit better xD but i still like this one WAY more

[IkeMaster11]

@Cabahomi yes he did Battleheart IS Alestorm. Battleheart renamed themself to Alestorm later.

[IAreChurch]

@Cabahomi Battleheart and Alestorm are the same band.  They had a name change when they signed with Napalm Records.

[comickid89]

@KyllingenKaj  dude they are the same band

[L00pGarou]

@KyllingenKaj the alestorm version is a cover itself... but its still the best version

[SSJ3Croat]

@KyllingenKaj dude, Alestorm WAS Battleheart XD

[crappymike]

@KyllingenKaj

this is the original version, before they were called alestorm...

[lotrax]

@KyllingenKaj Just for the record. Battleheart is Alestorm :)

[TheKisl666]

@KyllingenKaj

Battleheart are Alstorm

They changed they`re name in 2007

[michielking]

@KyllingenKaj eh... this IS the original version... battleheart IS alestorm, only battleheart is the old name of alestorm :)

[IAreChurch]

@KyllingenKaj This IS the original. Battleheart was Alestorms name before they signed to Napalm Records.

[FusionDS]

@KyllingenKaj Battleheart was Alestorm before they became Alestorm.

[Deader87]

O yeah, GRUNGY PIRATE-METAL

[thebronsonband]

Great work! Feel free to comment and rate our videos... take care BRONSON

[mike390g]

@KleerSkeleton alright, ebay did not have any.

[mike390g]

Where can i find an album?

[shadow1270]

Time to find a new singer?

[TheStealther]

Singer. Not the best for this kind of music genre, i am just honest.

[RageModeOn]

Ugh, what a let down.

Sounded so epic untill the guy with downsyndrome started to "sing".

[Donut117]

the singer sounds like some guy just screamed over a recording of the music.

everything is fucking amazing except for the voice, which was a real let down.

[Suphiroth]

battleheart makes better music and alestorm has a better singer end of story peopleXD

[Juice34tr]

EPIC

[TheSeremen]

Metal is my way of life, and this song is awesome... but the singer well... he's got the right idea but he needs alot more work on that voice... he almost sounds good on a few bits but really, almost any singer could do better then that come on guys if you really do like his voice then well you should just stop listening to metal... I mean there is alot of good reason to listen to this but the singer is not one of them

[Francee00]

what is with the singer?

sounds nothing like a pirate....

or even like a singer

[KleerSkeleton]

@Francee00 you sir, can go suck a dick

[Francee00]

@KleerSkeleton ah so you agree, does not sound like pirate?

guitars semidecent, but singer..... no?

[mercia666]

@KleerSkeleton greatest reply ever! :)

[b1krd00d]

@KleerSkeleton  no i agree with Francee00

[shadowguy112466]

@KleerSkeleton aye...

[Omega52]

@Francee00 make that 2 dicks

[Scotsch12345]

@Francee00 You sir, can REALLY go suck a dick

[soulessification]

@Francee00 I happen to agree.

[dwaynbob]

ARRRGGGGGGG

[metalheadskater51]

If they make this song with the technologie from Alestorm it will be the PERFECT SONG!!

WE LIVE AS A PIRATE AND WE DIE AS A PIRATE!

[NiGhT2001]

sorry but the original is better x3

[comosapian007]

*sigh* come on guys. better than alestorm? really? T.T

[BleedingSword]

Hahah, awesome!

[Killlz4fun]

Hahahaha fuckin awesome they should use this in Pirates of the Carribean 4

[Iwontpku]

Vocals are great.

I prefer this to their professionally recorded version.

Love the don't-give-a-fuck-ness of the vocals. Fits better with the song than when they tried to make it serious on the newer album.

[politicalninja2044]

man this SCHOOLS alestorm

[paganpenguin]

uhh.. this IS alestorm.. this is alestorm as they were called before they signed with napalm records in 07. this song was recorded in a home studio likey shortly after they formed in 04. so no.. no it does not school alestorm =D

[ebritt68]

The music is tight but the vocals suck...off key, shaky...

[Stride278]

this is awesome, but the recording of the vocals sucks shit... the studio did nothing with them

[darthsasuke554]

TRUE PIRATE METAL

recorded in the back of a rusty ship haha

[Ikkiku]

I'd say rotted ship... but oh well...

[darthsasuke554]

@Ikkiku oh....damn i didnt even pay attention to what i said haha oops

for the sake of what i said ..alot of the ship is metal haha

[IRONSHEEP230509]

the guitar after the chorus really reminds me pirates xD

[MaelickAClaes]

It's the aim and it's not guitar but keyboards (which uses accordion sounds, the Battleheart/Alestorm recipe to ring like pirates)

[blind999]

Wow he sounds drunk.. Probably is though right :P

[ExtremeSkippingFan]

dude, its like classic pirate metal.

his voice isnt that great though..

[BleedingSword]

Awesome!!

[1993shaw1993]

omg old alestorm is bad

i love new alestorm tho

[Regiald]

better than Alestorm one tbh (I know its the same band)

[KAsnuja]

\m/

[FolkMetalac]

imo they should make more songs like this when they were called Battleheart,i like this style more instead of the new one

[SerialVelocityVH]

Yeah, me too.

[Semente200]

I think any pirate would dig this

[Deader89]

yeah its the demo of Alestorm ^^

[robonightmare]

how in god's name does this sound anything like soldiers of the wasteland?

[1sephiroth8]

This is a modified version of Dragonforce, soldiers of the wasteland. Although I prefer this version over Dragonforces, let's face it..Dragonforce blows, this dude sings better than the lead singer.

[racin9]

omg... Sounds like some one used a cheap mic... Is this the demo version of alestorm?

[regentissatanas]

nope, thats definately not Alestorm... the voice of the leadsinger is too high, and the instruments aren't set low enough

[racin9]

oh k fewf!

[Floydthefuckbag]

Sorry, but it is. It is Alestorm before they were Alestorm. They've gotten a lot better.

[regentissatanas]

no fuckin' way! damn, they improved drastically

[Floydthefuckbag]

agreed.

[cartoonmarc]

Dude it's Chris. I went to school with them.

[paganpenguin]

yeah, its alestorm as they were before 2007.

[idiotenkiller]

battleheart = Alestorm ^^

battleheart is the demo version of Alestorm

[DragonTheRey]

Alestorm make a better version of this song i think

[daniel88n]

I think that this sing-style is for a "pirate-interpretation",it likes or not

[sonic187sq]

What kind of crap singing is this?

[ltfragmeister]

Whoa the singing sucks(/ed) o.o

[Raxisabominae]

Being honest. I love alestorm/battleheart... prefer the name battleheart. But I wouldn't say they are the best Pirate metal band... to be honest, Pirate Metal falls under power metal. But yeah, I would say they arne't the best, just the most well known

[Emetris]

WE ARE HEAVY METAL PIRATES

[teddyZZbeer]

The singing is really bad compared to now...

[EyeOfTheTornado]

Chris Bowes singing has improved greatly since this was recorded. Nt that bd thou

[rockpop1]

fuck you mother fucker you think that the nickname is the only thing that matters? you can serch in my page i have only metal in it i started to hear metal since i was 11 so go fuck yourself anyway how old are you 15 16? loser

[AmonBorgir]

Alestorm is a bunch of wuzzies... Not saying they suck, they're just wuzzies

[weefatjoey]

If Alestorm is a bunch of wuzzies...then one you suck major donkey dick mate and two say that at an alestorm gig and watch your face explode in blood and bone!!!! DICK!!!!!!!

[AmonBorgir]

What? Learn to use grammar you fag

[weefatjoey]

if im a fag how come i was fucking ur mum last night! lmao GF!

[parabola235]

dude your a fucking retard, shut and and stop making pointless comments when you cant even talk

[weefatjoey]

I'm the retard when you can't even put together a fucking easy sentence! LMFAO! If My English is bad why the fuck do if a Higher A Pass in it!

FUCKTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[parabola235]

wata u talking about? my english is fine you, yours is fucked.

[parabola235]

you just think mine is fucked because you don't know how to talk properly anyway. go back to kindergarden

[Terregnon]

The version they had recorded as Alestorm is better, but only in voice^^ both songs sounds very nice(this one sounds maybe a bit better^^)

Just the voice is :/ i know its the same singer but the way how he is recorded sucks....i hope everyone knows what i mean.....

[blackbloodyalex]

singer sux....alestorm singer (battlehearts new singer) is so much better...

[followthehatecrewild]

the funny thing is its the same person

[zelos666]

lol, that's the same guy.

[sarmoti0809]

the fact all these pirate metal bands are compared to alestorm most mean alestorm are better

[rockpop1]

i said that they are better as alestorm after they were battleheart and swiched their singer you stupid and why you gave me -7? i know that alestorm is battle heart im saying that they are better as alestorm you idiots

[TheSeveren]

what does "better as alestrom" even mean?

[iDefiant]

You obviously need to read it a few times to understand, It's ok I'll fix it for you.

"They are better playing as Alestorm" =P

[AmonBorgir]

Lol rockpop.. First fail you have is your name, second fail is that Alestorm and Battleheart is the same, Battleheart was their former name. Third fail is that you suck

[9xmcrx6]

i prefer alestorms version of this song, i know its the same band and singer an everythin but i duno in alestorm he sounds better and morelike a pirate... still good thoo :]

[metalmilita2391]

soo much better as battleheart

[gardiencag]

pretty good but I have to say the vocals could be better... Being in a band I know how hard it is to be just right, but good effort though!

[LLanidloesywddar]

Oh wow I love this

[thwguy]

the singing is fucking great

[Xmaggot93X]

he sounds like a dwarf/gnome :)

I like it anyway.

[Emeriss84]

The singing doesnt fit in with the song..

[Brummbrummquietsch]

So doesnt this comment on this video.

[rockpop1]

battle heart is better as alestorm this songer sucks

[Arikael]

you are funny. Battleheart is Alestorm ;)

[dom1940]

This is actually the origonal, Alestorm and Battleheart are the same band. They were called Battleheart for a while, they got a new singer and became Alestorm.

[BurningStarFire]

it's not a new singer. Chris Bowes has always been their vocalist.

[TheSpellKnight]

Zuado a Voz do vocalista , mas o som ficou 10 D++++

Tem que colocar o Vocalista do heavens Guardians pra cantar esta , vai ficar Show * -- *

[sneskegagama]

Alestorm is better.

[dom1940]

I think you'll find it's the same band just with a different vocalist now.

[sneskegagama]

yeah i know but the new vocalist is so much better.

[flxbckr]

that voice is great...it's perfect for this song^^

[spleeen1st]

lolz wtf this shit sucks

well the singing anyway

[Bobowhazaar]

hmm i don't like the vocals...ist just not right for the song. and it's out of key sometimes ;\

[pakodonto]

that voice sucks lol

[horatiosgirl]

its cool but i think i prefer Alestorm

[Playinmeguitar]

They dont have a new singer. The new version has been tuned down so its easier for him to sing it. The double base pedal in this refrain is stronger than the new version. but however both rock :)

[jackm05c1]

I don't care which is better. They're both good pirate metal bands which is a rare thing.

[PcTnintyfour]

5 *

GEIIIL!

[BlastedTheWorm]

They've not changed singer. He just changed his vocals.
