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.
@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.
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 :)
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
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.
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. 🚮
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
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
hey! my bad just recently introduced me to you guys, and i LOVE it! I play drums, piano, and scream (sometimes). we play emotional Metal and Punk (and i dont mean Emo, but emotional stuff, with meaing behind it) and we are working towards getting "big" i was wondering if i could get a few tips on getting big, even just locally. we are going to try getting big with the use of the internet, but it would be really awesome to get some tips from someone who has done it before. I love your guys!
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.
@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
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
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 !
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.
@@camilovivasve get well soon
@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.
An excellent drummer!
6:12 love it!!!

Isn't that the a slipknot song too? I like the alestorm cover better
them drums tho...
Thank you Chris for the behind the scenes look!
part 2 please
This was so fun to watch... all over the place. Really hope you all come back to central Florida soon
St Pete this Sunday!!!!
This drummer is epic :o
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.
the bassist at 1:18 "Hmm....." then at 1:20 "yeah I think I'll have a swig"
so casual xD
Petition for them to continue this series
I found this band in 2014 and been a fan since. Great band! A break from the norm out there. lml
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!
You can play bass with drumsticks. They are called funk fingers created by bassist Tony Levin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_fingers
12:05 gone, but not forgotten. RIP 📷
Love these boys!!! so freakin original !!!
I didn't expect much when I clicked this, but it was hilarious! XD
ALESTORM
the spirit of the seas
"BLAH BLAH BLAH ONE SONG LEFT BLAH BLAH BLAH !"
Alestorm is one of my favorite bands, you guys gotta come to this filthy called Brazil.
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!
How have I never seen this before? This is super entertaining
@LSRothSocial Lots and lots and lots of neon gaffer tape. Available in any hardware store.
@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 love Christopher Bowes
4:18
"No mum, I don't want to practice my keyboard tonight!"
7:14...DUNDEE?!? XDXDXD
Look like you all had fun.
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!
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!
Too Badass!!!....Aye....
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).
they were drunk, i am drunk best combo ever and great artists!
My 2 favorite songs
I love that guys!!! :3
"MAKE THAT BASTARD BLAH BLAH BLAH" :D
This is one band I would love to have the chance to jam with
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
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
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 🤣
Fuck it all. You are pirates. You can do what you want. YARR

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
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.
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???
@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
8:11 How it sounds when my best friend talks about Kpop. (Just not as awesome and with a girly voice)
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/
