Problem is...this video is actually the last time we ever rehearsed, haha. We haven't done any practices since Elliot joined the band. He kinda just makes it up as he goes along.
He can still change songs midway through though. To have that kind of skill is a gift from the gods. (If you want to see this for yourself, I recommend the Live In Tilburg 2019 on napalm records. Elliot also has a keyboard cam.)
I jumped to a random part of the video and was immediately greeted by four grown men screaming their lungs out. 10/10, this is my favorite band for a reason.
Dani plays a Dean Razorback V 255 guitar with EMG 85/81 pickups, into a Digidesign Elevenrack amp modeller thingy. He's got 1 patch set up on there; a generic 5150-style distortion tone. No pedals, no switches, no nothing. We keep it simple :)
@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 seriously doubt anyone is watching this now, nearly 10 years since it came out, but with all this new shitty rap coming out, I feel it’s about time we forget about it all and start listening to 6:20 on a 10 minute loop
Currently preparing my mind & liver for your gig in Pratteln on august 5th. Glad you practiced years ago, once. Hail to the terror squid and RIP in the depths below, you precious little cam. 🚮
Not everyone can do it, but those of us that can typically find that it helps us relax and not worry, much like Todeshaendler666 said. Though it's easy to over do it, especially at a rehearsal that's going well because then it feels like you're just hanging out and not actually there to rehearse haha
I love how you guys make solid sounding albums but just act like its easy and are just having fun! Both Alestorm gigs I have been to have just been outright fun and great to be at. Come back to the UK asap!
@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.
Graspop lets crunch those invisible pinapples. Haha you guys were awesome! Hope you'll come back next year :) by the way: that was an awesome wall of death XD
Please make a new rehearsal video including Eliot. Saw you guys about 1 month ago and you were so awesome that i dont wanna listen to your album anymore because you are live so much better :D
I mean, I know this video is 7 fucking years old but I'm sitting here and die of laughing. By the way, I use the same Guitar Stripe on my Bass as you do on the Keytar! Nice!
Alestorm need to make a DVD like Korn's DVD Deuce Lots and lots of clips of the band just doing pointless stupid shit ! :D I love seeing what bands do outside of playing live !
hey chris it was a realy nice show you put on the 18th but just a question where did the 5th persone come from? i havn't seen him before and i didn't realy notice him on the 9th of october but that could be because we stood in an odd spot also did you spend the 60-70 cents i gave you wisely? ;) xD greetings the random guy who kept walking up to you last sunday
I always wanted a Roland AX-7 but I'm intimidated by MIDI controllers... instead I've always stuck with the AX-Synth, RK-100S and now the AX-Edge (my pride and joy) since they have on-board sounds. Keytars FTW.
Problem is...this video is actually the last time we ever rehearsed, haha. We haven't done any practices since Elliot joined the band. He kinda just makes it up as he goes along.
Love you guys! You should steam a concert online. YARRR.
Should upload a rehearsal video with Elliot, gonna be awesome 🎣🏴☠️
Yo it's me I was the one that was at your concert the in the duck costume remember
He can still change songs midway through though. To have that kind of skill is a gift from the gods. (If you want to see this for yourself, I recommend the Live In Tilburg 2019 on napalm records. Elliot also has a keyboard cam.)
I jumped to a random part of the video and was immediately greeted by four grown men screaming their lungs out. 10/10, this is my favorite band for a reason.
nah, it's mostly because our songs are so simple that anyone can play them with 5 minutes practice :P
Christopher Bowes why dont you have a book with guitar tablature so i can have the right one instead of shitty guitar tabs online
I wanna be like christopher when i grow
Ya pasaron 5 años, lo lograste?
It's been 9 years, did you make it?
@@tegas3820 I didn't grow.
An excellent drummer!
6:12 love it!!!

Petition for them to continue this series
them drums tho...
I love how you can emulate the sounds of folk instruments with your keytar. It just goes to show how true to the Pirate Metal genre your band is.
I seriously doubt anyone is watching this now, nearly 10 years since it came out, but with all this new shitty rap coming out, I feel it’s about time we forget about it all and start listening to 6:20 on a 10 minute loop
Isn't that the a slipknot song too? I like the alestorm cover better
Thank you Chris for the behind the scenes look!
This drummer is epic :o
the bassist at 1:18 "Hmm....." then at 1:20 "yeah I think I'll have a swig"
so casual xD
Keelhauled is one of my favorite songs (the chorus is easy to sing, cause I'm spanish and the songs are so difficult) Thank you for this!
I found this band in 2014 and been a fan since. Great band! A break from the norm out there. lml
You can play bass with drumsticks. They are called funk fingers created by bassist Tony Levin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_fingers
ALESTORM
the spirit of the seas
This was so fun to watch... all over the place. Really hope you all come back to central Florida soon
St Pete this Sunday!!!!
Alestorm is one of my favorite bands, you guys gotta come to this filthy called Brazil.
4:18
"No mum, I don't want to practice my keyboard tonight!"
I didn't expect much when I clicked this, but it was hilarious! XD
"BLAH BLAH BLAH ONE SONG LEFT BLAH BLAH BLAH !"
Love these boys!!! so freakin original !!!
12:05 gone, but not forgotten. RIP 📷
How have I never seen this before? This is super entertaining
Currently preparing my mind & liver for your gig in Pratteln on august 5th. Glad you practiced years ago, once. Hail to the terror squid and RIP in the depths below, you precious little cam. 🚮
It's gonna be great, you can be sure about that!
i love Christopher Bowes
they were drunk, i am drunk best combo ever and great artists!
question: if one plays on stage, how can one drink so much and still play the instruments so well XD respect
Emily Hail The answer is really easy. When u drink alcohol u stop thinkin' about what u r doing with the instrument, u just do it :D
haha i guess so Todeshaendler666
Not everyone can do it, but those of us that can typically find that it helps us relax and not worry, much like Todeshaendler666 said. Though it's easy to over do it, especially at a rehearsal that's going well because then it feels like you're just hanging out and not actually there to rehearse haha
Too Badass!!!....Aye....
I love how you guys make solid sounding albums but just act like its easy and are just having fun! Both Alestorm gigs I have been to have just been outright fun and great to be at. Come back to the UK asap!
This drummer fantastic! Still one of my favorite videos! Also what he says at the beginning is true for us drummers we are always hungry at practice!
"MAKE THAT BASTARD BLAH BLAH BLAH" :D
This is just genius! You guys are fucking amazing. You should do this live sometimes :p
do what you want coz a pirate is free
My 2 favorite songs
I love that guys!!! :3
Fuck it all. You are pirates. You can do what you want. YARR
Look like you all had fun.
7:14...DUNDEE?!? XDXDXD
This is amazing. And I've only found it today.... wtf
commissioner gordon's revenge and keelblaahed
That ending is even better. LOL
@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.
Keep it fun guys, when it turns to WORK the joy diminishes.

@LSRothSocial Lots and lots and lots of neon gaffer tape. Available in any hardware store.
I'd like to hear commissioner Gordons revenge
If Chris replies to this, i'm going to buy Captain Morgon's rum and drink it while listening to Captain Morgon's Revenge \m/
KEEEELBLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Graspop lets crunch those invisible pinapples. Haha you guys were awesome! Hope you'll come back next year :) by the way: that was an awesome wall of death XD
Can't wait to see you guys in NYC! Alestorm effing rules!
Haha nice. This made me lmaoed hehe keep it up Alestorm! \m/ Being bored is freakin awesome at times :)
Is that Peter Alcorn on the drums? He looks like he's 18!
Jesus Christ that was good
hahahahahahahahaha!
.....BUT! (the music continues), epic xD
Such an amazing song!
I do hope you would grace the U.S. with your colors.... I'd set sail if I knew you were in the U.S... You are coming aren't you???
Can't wait to see guy's in dublin on sunday! :D
2019. lml Rock a pirate
"...and slain the officers of wank"? LOL XD
This is one band I would love to have the chance to jam with
Petty sure I lost it at six minutes and fifteen seconds. XDDD
Best presentation ever (8:10)
WE REHEARSE AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE AS THEM =D
ALESTORM IS AMAZING!
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
blah blah blah one song left blah blah blah gotta love that ^^
Hey Chris im from Costa Rica and i am soooooo fucking excited you guys decided to come here! Hail Alestorm you crazy scallywags!
Please make a new rehearsal video including Eliot. Saw you guys about 1 month ago and you were so awesome that i dont wanna listen to your album anymore because you are live so much better :D
@Watlolwutlol Imagine if they done that in the concert.
Now, I must be honest with you, Christopher. Some of Alestorm's tracks are based on the "Pirates Of The Caribbean" trilogy.
Looking forward to seeing you guys in San Francisco 11.14.2012! Hope you play some of my favorite songs (Captain Morgan's Revenge being one of them).
Love Peter (drummer) at 2:30-2:34 :/
Hey Chris!! Great fan here man from India!! I just hope u include some more parts with ur lead sound in ur future songs...that wud be wicked!! :D
8:11 How it sounds when my best friend talks about Kpop. (Just not as awesome and with a girly voice)
@TomPoes000 Don't. Please. For the love of everything that is good in the world!
Insane.
Haha these guys are hilarious
Christopher is one great songwriter and talented musican
Cheers!
only thing I don't like about alestorm is that they are based holland, so they tour less in the uk
wait.. this was in 013?
im going there tommorow to see yah guys :D
uhm, are you kidding me? you guys really have a youtube channel?:D definitivly subbed^^
Do Chris write the lyrics?
anyone know what chris says at 5:50 gaz shouts you played it wrong then chris says something only asking because it set everyone off 🤣
I mean, I know this video is 7 fucking years old but I'm sitting here and die of laughing.
By the way, I use the same Guitar Stripe on my Bass as you do on the Keytar! Nice!
Alestorm need to make a DVD like Korn's DVD Deuce
Lots and lots of clips of the band just doing pointless stupid shit ! :D
I love seeing what bands do outside of playing live !
Goddamn I can't fuckin' wait to see you guys again in Hollywood!!!!!
I see Albert Heijn house wine!! haha XD
hey chris it was a realy nice show you put on the 18th
but just a question where did the 5th persone come from?
i havn't seen him before and i didn't realy notice him on the 9th of october but that could be because we stood in an odd spot
also did you spend the 60-70 cents i gave you wisely? ;) xD
greetings the random guy who kept walking up to you last sunday
Can you make an arrangement of "A Pirates life for me"? :D
2:08 they slayed the officers of wank!
I'm an officer of wank :(

Aww yeah my two favorite songs! :D
At sunrise we will dance the hempen jig!
comissioner gordon's revenge and keelblahed
part 2 please
What happened to Gavin Harper?
@Stryder46 But really, what are you basing this opinion on?
@Stryder46 Seriously?
I always wanted a Roland AX-7 but I'm intimidated by MIDI controllers... instead I've always stuck with the AX-Synth, RK-100S and now the AX-Edge (my pride and joy) since they have on-board sounds. Keytars FTW.
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 ;)
Netherlands...Funny i live in th... NETHERLANDS!? You guys where in The Netherlands while doing reheasels!? Where was i?!
