I love swashbuckle! And I also love alstorm! They are both really good in their own ways! Both bands have their own different styles. For example they sing differently act and dress differently. Their lyrics are very different too!
@deinonychusownzz yeah without really knowing the band, most songs are about treasures, sea monsters, old legends etc. a couple of drink songs is just good to have!
@lJollyReaperl yeah, comparing swashbuckle and alestorm is like comparing cheese and tomatoes. they are nothing alike whatsover. they play two totally different genres of music.
That and the fact that they sound more "pirate metal" than these guys, in terms of the use of a clear pirate accent and added keys for accordion and other instrument sounds that gives it that distinguishable sound. =)
if you compare the lighting with some next gen games than this stands head over shouolders above most of them. no matter what the animation itself is like these guys know how to light stuff
Haha I totally agree, I think that the power metal approach is more... appropriate for pirate metal, it sounds more like music from Pirate movie :P Long live Pirate metal!
Its interesting to point out that most of the other Paganfest bands this year don't consider themselves "folk" metal either. Blackguard hates that genre label, and Primordial even moreso. And, on top of this, NONE of the bands, Korpiklaani included, consider themselves "Pagan". Its just the name of the tour package to keep internet dwelling nerds like yourself coming out to shows. So keep up the good work, learn how to have some fucking fun, and don't ever loose that sick bowl cut!
WOOT! Yarrr this be what me call music! Yarr i enjoyed it more than those landluber musics liek ye the unseen. A pirates life for me is ye right one! YARRR!
I think Alestorm take the more comic approach to Pirates like in the Pirates of the Caribbean. Where as Swashbuckle take the darker side of being a pirate.
I don't plan to side for Swashbuckle or Alestorm but the term Pirate Metal refers to the lyrics and not to the genre Swashbuckle is Trash Metal and Alestorm is Folk metal
Really cool vid. i like the animation of the arms playing the instruments. Its really funny +gg+ Music its cool but a bit much growls for my taste of music.
@deinonychusownzz Yeah im all done with the 'look how metal I am, im listening more underground unknown bands then you do'-culture, famous bands can be as good, and the guys from Alestorm are really awesome, I met them after a concert and drank and smoked with them, next day, they had another concert just 40 km away, and they put me and my friends on the VIP list, its awesome! and yeah what were pirates doing? drinking slaughtering raping so basicly its not much where you can make lyrics about,
just because they dress as pirates doesnt mean they 'are'... if you close your eyes and just ear this songs, does it sounds like a pirate song ? certainly not

1. Swashbuckle predates Alestorm.
2. They're friends.
3. They secretly laugh at your heated debates.
Swashbuckle: Drink up!
Me: Aye Aye Captain!
hahaha
this is amazing!!
i love this band!
Haha. That's some awful animation. Was this rendered on a Nintendo 64?
Wow. Pirate thrash metal. That's fucking brilliant!
Guitar hero: swashbuckle
this band just rocks ;) .... brilliant!
This song totally slaps!
One of the most badass metal bass guitar sound !
These guys still kick ass. Theatrics really needed to make a comeback and they always manage to pull it off.
NICE!!!!! this needs to be the official video to "Drink Up"! It catches the mood perfectly!
Man, I can't wait to play the game... and for their new album. YARGH!
I love swashbuckle! And I also love alstorm! They are both really good in their own ways! Both bands have their own different styles. For example they sing differently act and dress differently. Their lyrics are very different too!
Wow! Nice! Love it!
Yeah yeah, tight show!
this needs to be the video for this song!
Awesome band
lol that parrot is hangin on for dear life!

@deinonychusownzz yeah without really knowing the band, most songs are about treasures, sea monsters, old legends etc. a couple of drink songs is just good to have!
I love this Band! THEY ARE FUCKING EPIC!
i like to think of swashbuckle as regular people who are modern day pirates on their spare time
I am a Pirate who is a Normal person in my spare time.
Cute parrot...w
very enjoyable band!
great video and great song! fuckin awesome!
@lJollyReaperl
yeah, comparing swashbuckle and alestorm is like comparing cheese and tomatoes. they are nothing alike whatsover. they play two totally different genres of music.
This is the new wave of Pirate Metal apparently.
lol, after he moshed and went up on stage got the dude from swashbuckle to film us moshing to their songs
It's a well known fact all pirates bore triangular hats and had a parrot on their shoulder!
Just found this band and they are really badass :D pirate metal rocks!
einfach nur nice ^^
EPIC!
That and the fact that they sound more "pirate metal" than these guys, in terms of the use of a clear pirate accent and added keys for accordion and other instrument sounds that gives it that distinguishable sound. =)

Note to self; there is vodka in my computer desk at home. When home, drink it and listen to this.
I ♥ Pirate thrash metal! These guys are my heroes!!!
fucking amazing
@ProgMetal370
So does Ensiferum. Or at least they did when I saw them live.
Alestorm should play in pirate costumes, imo.
FOr what swashbuckle is they hold it down brutally there lyrics are brutal\
I want this band on GMM 2011.
This band freaks me such fantastic music!
considering both bands have done a song about each other....i think theyre cool with it and know all about the comparasons!
Drumming is epic!
29 was taken by Davy Jones
Haha I totally agree, I think that the power metal approach is more... appropriate for pirate metal, it sounds more like music from Pirate movie :P
Long live Pirate metal!
@Underestimatedsinner ..hell ya
Aw, to hell with "this is better" or "that is better" - I like Swashbuckle AND Alestorm! Both have songs that I fancy fer a good pillaging.
ROFL at the drummers arms xD

i have a sudden urge to raid and pillage the nearest town haha
Yarrrr!... Swashbuckle and Alestorm FTW!
The graphics in this are from a computer game called Buccaneer.
If you like Swashbuckle try out this punk/thrash metal band called 'Send More Paramedics' - They are a Zombie style band. They do awesome music!
drink up my mateys yoo hoo yoo hoouuu... piiirraaatteeeeesss
Yaaarrghh, matey!!
@m415mike
Soundwise, yes.
But in all other aspects, Swashbuckle does the pirate thing better.
Alestorm doesn't even play in costume.
If there was a pirate metal guitar hero, this should be it.
@sio42 you mean their r-pods? xD
hey dont blame me, all i did was tell you about them
Swashbuckle spa génial, mais primordial c'est fort si tu veux mon avis
anyway, esti de show de fou qui s'en vient en fin avril
WOOT! Yarrr this be what me call music! Yarr i enjoyed it more than those landluber musics liek ye the unseen. A pirates life for me is ye right one! YARRR!
I think Alestorm take the more comic approach to Pirates like in the Pirates of the Caribbean. Where as Swashbuckle take the darker side of being a pirate.
And Alestorm are not the only ones with this approach - just check out The Dread Crew of Oddwood, Rumahoy and Vroudenspil.
this be the music for me mateys im not listenin to nothin but this YARRR
@deinonychusownzz i dont like alestorm either, but i do like swashbuckle.
@Enziferum6 hahahahha thats heaps funny
Pirates.....and Metal.....what should i use as my last wish?
IM TALKING ABOUT THE DROPKICK MURPHYS!
Noted it as a reply to my comment,no idea why it is listed to stebs below it.
Swashbuckled by Alestorm and We Are the Storm by Swashbuckle :P
19th SEPTEMBER
YARRRR!!!!
es la raja esta banda
Don't forget the original metal Pirate's Running Wild!.... All Pirate music rules!
Is... Is the drummers arm coming off every time he bangs on the drums? Or are they special elastic drums?
Reminds me of runescape, man if they had this on runescape I would be 400 pounds playing that shit non-stop taking red bull shots.
OVER THE SEAS
WILL WILL RIDE!!!
Was the animation done by Video Briquedo? Even for 2008 this looks awful.
Drink up me mateys yoho yoho, drink up me mateys yoho
I don't plan to side for Swashbuckle or Alestorm but the term Pirate Metal refers to the lyrics and not to the genre
Swashbuckle is Trash Metal and Alestorm is Folk metal
Really cool vid. i like the animation of the arms playing the instruments. Its really funny +gg+
Music its cool but a bit much growls for my taste of music.
Then, Drink Up!

The sub/caps otherwise:
[HEAVY METAL PIRATE NONSENSE]
Also, underrated band imho.
Korpiklaani rulettaaa!!!!! Korpiklaani RULES!
They lack the amount of effort and technicity Swashbuckle put in their songs
SOUND DUDE.

@TheElectricalDonkey yes
Is that you Guybrush Threepwood?
lol insane band and song
vid remind me of runescape XD
lol i saw them live
moshpits where damn insane
where about 4 or 5 walls of death
@deinonychusownzz Yeah im all done with the 'look how metal I am, im listening more underground unknown bands then you do'-culture, famous bands can be as good, and the guys from Alestorm are really awesome, I met them after a concert and drank and smoked with them, next day, they had another concert just 40 km away, and they put me and my friends on the VIP list, its awesome! and yeah what were pirates doing? drinking slaughtering raping so basicly its not much where you can make lyrics about,
Forgot to say i was talking about the dropkick murphys.
sounds like im shipping up to boston by dropkick murphys
666th like!!!!!-
Wheres the pirate brawling?
you'd have to be drunk to think this was good music! lol
just because they dress as pirates doesnt mean they 'are'... if you close your eyes and just ear this songs, does it sounds like a pirate song ? certainly not
Nice, but why didn't they include Alestorm too? I feel Swash has more pirate lyrics and Alestorm more pirate music... anyway this kick ass.
Which one?
With a more Power metal sound there is Alestorm that is a True Scottish Pirate Metal Band
@TheDerpTard Haha, I was about to respond to what you said in a serious manner, but then I saw your name. Cool story, bro.
Alestorm - Pirate power metal
Swashbuckle - Pirate Thrash metal
:)
They have a lot of yo-hos! lol And many of their song have a folk aspect Check Cloudy with a chance of piracy
okay dude
what was this made with
