@HyperChris Seeing you guys on the 4th of Feb in Plymouth :D, Chris Bowes you are my idol so stoked for this gig, plus this reminds me of our band practise but you just make it through some songs :L
@HyperChris Hi Chris! I have a question: I play in a heavy metal band myself and play the keytar (or "shoulder synthesizer") just like you. However, I notice you having customized yours and all, so my question is how have you done that? I play on a Roland AX-Synth Black Sparkle if that is of any help.
@HyperChris Thank you, man! I'm practicing now on wooden planks so I won't screw up on the keytar. I want you to know that I think you're doing a great job, the new album is just awesome! Have a nice day. Greetings from Laurenz.
I never really liked the drummer, he makes it sounds sloppy.. (I'm not talking about this rehearsal, but also the albums..) but that's my opinion.. you may find it more piratish like this ;)
I don't like this drummer at all. He deviates too much from the original version of the song. Granted, this was just a rehearsal and they were havin' fun with it. But Ian Wilson blows this kid away. Just MHO.
@Stryder46 Just to let you know, Ian didn't actually play drums on the first 2 albums. We had a session drummer come in and play random crap, and we glued it all together in protools.
I know. But he toured with you. And that's how he won me over as a fan. I was perhaps a little premature in my criticism of Peter and for that I do apologize. The more I listen to Back Through Time the more he's growing on me. Again, I meant no disrespect towards anyone. I shouldn't have jumped the gun so quickly and passed judgment without giving him more of a chance. Rock on, Chris. And I hope you do a US tour soon. (Sunk'n Norwegian's my favorite new song, btw)
But really. As I stated, it's just MY opinion. Maybe I just have to get used to him. Don't take things so personal and get all defensive of the guy. I still love Alestorm, regardless who's behind the kit.
the thing we love most about this video is that it shows that they all get along as a band and don't fight like some these days. keep up the outstanding work
i had a repetition with my band and i was waiting for my members and alestorm were finished at the time we had to begin xD so we saw them @ the 013 :P
Alestorm is the best band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do your synthie tones sound as cheesy as before you had the sonic cell? The brass stuff reminds me of power pop brass. Just wondering ;)
