He's a savvy lad, Chris. He knows exactly what he's doing and he's right. People love Alestorm for their goofiness. Well, at least I do. He's also right about ridiculously serious "pirate metal" bands that actually look stupid. Alestorm, on the other hand, is epically awesome.
Not only that, but I genuinely believe that they are the best in their genre. Not just because of the silliness, but when you listen to it you actually say "This sounds like pirate music"
When they release a song about pirates fighting as Batman with a bad habit of fidgeting with his eyepatch finding leisure and pleasure in treasure, we have to make it their greatest hit.
@@rightfulfuture4 its not uncomfortable its just... strange...? Hard to describe but definitely not uncomfortable. More like it'll just be positioned real weird anytime you move your head if your hat isn't super tight
I’ve seen this video before, and I’ve only just realized that he’s wearing a shirt from Unicoi Tennessee, where I’ve recently moved to and very much regret. There’s not even a bar there. Why was alestorm there?!
At least for them, less effort makes them better. Let's face it, they are a gimmick band. A silly one at that. If they were to try to take themselves seriously, they would probably sound terrible and forced.
Rhyming "Alcohol is free" with "Alcohol is free" on the Mexico song, stroke of genius.
I just wish that Alcohol was free... now excuse me while I go drink a free beer. It's free because I didn't buy it.
Now they rhymed boat with boat
He is literally a professional shitposter and I love him.
One could argue that shitposters are the modern pirates...
"The less effort we put into it, the more people like it"
100% of Pop music?
modern? maybe.
Yeah.
At least for me, I think its hard to find metal that is so lighthearted. Its awesome to see a band that just want to have fun.
"we wanted to incorporate more silly things in our songs, like Mexico..."

They're just out their sailing the seas (highways) on their boat (van) having fun!
You should look up the dread crew of oddwood

@@AggressiveTendencies you mean lamborghini?
I like their goofiness as much as their epicness, that's why I loved the album no grave but the sea: a pure mix of epicness and... stoopidness

Wish i could actually be friends with people like these, the world needs more band people like Chris' Bowes!
Behold ye the silliest man in Scotland. A very high achievement.
This man is my idol.
He's hilarious.
Take a shot of rum everytime he adjusts his hair...
Posting from the hospital: don't try this, it's not worth it, trust me
Kristijan Fištrek do this if you wan to die
long hair under a hat is uncomfortable, it's understandable that he's adjusting so much
@@rightfulfuture4 its not uncomfortable its just... strange...? Hard to describe but definitely not uncomfortable. More like it'll just be positioned real weird anytime you move your head if your hat isn't super tight
@@laa0fa502 I know what you mean, it's not really sitting right because all that hair is in the way.
He's a master shitposter.
Love the dude.
SO FUNNY!
They are world renouned shitposters and we love them for that
Women want him,
Men want to BE him.
Ain't that the truth?
You sure it ain't the other way around? I mean look at that hair.
still waiting a song about internet pirates
Isn't that already a thing... The Pirate song from Lazytown was used on LimeWire...
DO WHAT YOU WANT CUZ A PIRATE IS FREE, YOU ARE A PIRATE!
Don't copy that floppy
"Quest... Uuuuh... It rhymes with... incest !"
Chris, I fucking love you
I love this man's attitude lol.
He's a lot of fun to chat with, that's for sure!
Loved the editing! This channel needs to blow up.
Thanks so much! I hope we do. Just surpassed 8,000 subscribers. Aiming for 10k!
Chris! Stop touching your hair! :P
It's so luscious, though!
I counted and he touched his hair about 10 times 😂 I'm guilty of doing the same
RELEASE PUT ON YOUR EYEPATCH TAKE OFF YOUR EYEPATCH
N O W
N O W
N O W !
It could be an ASDFGFA song.
Alestorm is the best band.. a friend got me into them and i am glad he did. they r one of the coolest bands i jam to.. they are truly fun and great!!!
So fun!
Instead of "hmm" he did "arr".
you can not measure the pleasure of hunting treasure for leisure!
Feels like I'd actually love the one about eye patches :D
If their next album doesn't have a batman pirate song on it I'm gonna be upset!
Your lyrics deserve a OSCAR.
The epitome of a legend
Buzzing for this at download.
If I don't hear a song about an eye patch tomorrow I'm gonna be real sad
These guys must have soooooo much fun.
Pie Don you need to see them live they have so much energy and fun
I feel old. I know Dez from before Devildriver.....He was in Coal Chamber.
Hahaha I was thinking about the word incest rhyming. I feel less bad about my way of thinking now that he also thought about it xD
Just keep being f-ing awesome
🏴☠️You guys are AWESOME RRRRRRRR 🏴☠️
I want that eye patch song.
cool interview !
I’ve seen this video before, and I’ve only just realized that he’s wearing a shirt from Unicoi Tennessee, where I’ve recently moved to and very much regret. There’s not even a bar there. Why was alestorm there?!
No bar? No booze? Doesn't seem very Alestorm!
Very late but I’m pretty sure he lived there
"The less effort we put in the more people love it....", thats the formula for modern POP music :D I'm sad.
At least for them, less effort makes them better. Let's face it, they are a gimmick band. A silly one at that. If they were to try to take themselves seriously, they would probably sound terrible and forced.
Alestorms less effort deginately makes for better entertaining songs....pop and rap have done this also and it is just horrible to listen to.
give me the eyepatch song
please
I WANT TO HEAR IT TOO!
I'm in love with this guy!
Quest...best, test, into the west...and...incest :D :D :D
You know traditional pirate things.😂
I just love this guy nonohomo
3 people have no fun...
Party poopers :(
Quest, Best, Test, West, Incest.
Sounds like the average Crusader Kings playthrough.
Oh wow!
So funny 😂
It was a great conversation to have, that's for sure.
I love this man without being gay
Welcome to the bi crew, matey!
Space Pirates.
Gloryhammer lol
And boat rhymes with boat
