Alestorm, 'Captain Morgan's Revenge'.


When I come back from a mighty quest
I have no need for sleep or rest
I head to a tavern for a drink
And get so drunk I cannot think
A wench by my side and a jug of mead
These are the things that I most need
So I sit back and sing this song
And drink and party all night long

Hey! Hey!
I want more wenches
Hey! Hey!
More wenches and mead
Hey! Hey!
I want more wenches
Lots of wenches is what I need

With lyrics like that, I just had to find a link! I think we have a new genre here. Pirate Metal!

Alestorm - Wenches and Mead.

Level 42 - Something about you

http://youtube.com/watch?v=OV75W2qacDc

Comes with a wave of '80's nostalgia for me ... and you gotta love that AC Cobra in the video [8D]

[WYBaugh]

I'm an old guy too but a metal-head from the late 70's on...you guys have got to check out Dream Theater's Train of Thought album.  I've been burning the bits off of this one for the last 3 years.

This Dying Soul

Also Kamelot's last two albums (3 with the live album thrown in) are amazing.

Two good videos to see their range. The first is March of Mephisto...rocking!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0yYxOV-bRU

Second is Memeno Mori which is just amazing:

God I hated Level 42 with a passion! Even back in the day. Thanks for bringing those puke-inspiring memories back [:'(]

If you are going to do the 80's, at least do them proper!

The Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way

http://youtube.com/watch?v=j2KEXtfgzkM

Jimmy Sommerville might have a head shaped like a King Edwards spud, but the boy could belt out a good tune [8D]

[Mac67]

While I'm on a 80's kick -

UB40 - Red, Red Wine

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rg1iEBWxVeQ

Ahh those were the days, stone-washed jeans, deck-chair shirts, Pringle jumpers, splashing on half a bottle of Kouros before I hit the pub, a different bird on my arm every week.....

Ageing disgracefully sucks [:(]

[stevemk1a]

Ah well, I was young and impressionable then! Still, you gotta admit it's a catchy tune [;)]

Here's a Jimmy Sommerville tune I wouldn't have dared to admit liking in the mid '80's when I was in high school, but it's actually really quite good.

Bronski Beat - Smalltown boy

Nothing about Level 42 was ever catchy [:-] [:'(]

Smalltown boy was a great track, strangely enough that is the first time I have ever seen the video to it.

Funny how Jimmey Sommville was being so open about being gay, whilst George Michael was stuffing shuttlecocks down his shorts and acting all macho, while all the time secretly cottaging [:D]

A few more great 80's tracks -

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

http://youtube.com/watch?v=K0dfd_L4tDk

The Jam - A Town Called Malice

- Joy Division - Love will tear us apart.
I've always thought this was a spooky song ... apparently the lead singer killed himself shortly after writing it [X(]

- The Jam - Town called malice.
GREAT bassline!


- The Specials - Ghost town
Good song, I like alot of their stuff, but I think this is their best one:
The Specials - Gangsters
http://youtube.com/watch?v=zWZzsxgH2gY Gan

-Madness - Baggy trousers
Hadn't heard that one before ... cool.

-T'Pau - Heart and Soul
-I like the song. The video looks kinda soft porn'ish tho (not that there's anything wrong with that).

-Soul II Soul
-Good stuff!!

[stevemk1a]

Just to reistablish some indie cred here's a rather nasty mid '80's Canadian punk song:

Dayglo Abortions - I killed mommy
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xe8O9B5xfIc&feature=related

Don't say you weren't warned. [:-]

Sadly true. Ian Curtis hung himself a month after Love Will Tear Us Apart was released as a single. He was 23 years old. The song is about the problems he was having in his marriage after his wife found out he was having an affair. He was also being treated for epilepsy and suffering from nerves about the band's upcoming first USA tour. His wife had the words Love Will Tear Us Apart inscribed on his tombstone.

There were a lot of clues about his mental state in his songs, but the people around him didn't seem to pick up on them. Factory Records boss Tony Wilson said afterwards - "I'd been warned on a train to London two weeks earlier by Annik [Honoré, Curtis' lover]. I asked her, 'What do you think of the new album.' She goes, 'I'm terrified.' I said, 'What are you terrified of?' She replies, 'Don't you understand? He means it.' And I go, 'No, he doesn't mean it - it's art.' And guess what? He f***ing meant it."

They're no Level 42, [;)] but I like this remake:

Radiohead - Ceremony
