Alestorm
« on: March 25, 2021, 06:45:03 PM »
We have a channel called #zero on our company Slack where we post (mostly heavy) music stuff. We have quite some metalheads on board. Today, this link was posted:

I didn't know this Scottish gem. Never heard of it. That show is just great. I'm sold!

Alestorm, oh no! At least around here, it's difficult to find a metal pub where you wouldn't hear drunken people singing ''We are here to drink your beer and steal your rum at a point of a gun / your alcohol to us will fall cause we are here to drink your beer''  ;D

Yeah, it's probably a gaping gap in my cultural education, but I never even heard of them. Their band name itself is hilarious, and the music is just... fun!

I think there are certain Alestorm songs that won't get posted on a work Slack channel, like the one about the anchor... :o
"We are lost, we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak
We are the heirs, we are the true heirs, to all the world"

But that's awesome! It never matters when you find a band you like, the most important thing is that you did find a band you like... and now you have time to learn the lyrics for sing-alongs before the pubs will re-open!  ;D

Went on a road trip through Scotland two years ago. Must have visited the wrong pubs :) Wanted to do it again last year, got canceled. Something to do with a disease. All is booked for July this year, but not holding my breath.

But when we do get to go back to Scotland, I'll be on the lookout in the land of Alestorm!
