Haven’t heard anyone mention Alestorm in a few years, I might have to go back through their discography now.
I feel old remembering how they ran the world out of the big ducks they used to use because they used to boot them into the audience during the show. I’m glad that since then they’ve grown bigger as a band and clearly can commission their own giant ducks now.
Last time I saw Alestorm, it was £20 a head in a uni bar and someone in the mosh pit decided that kidney punches were fair game
We saw them a few years ago and are seeing them again next week! They had the duck then and it’s good to see it’s still quacking! 🤘
At least it wasn’t an anchor.
Yar har fiddly dee dee…
Meh. I’ve seen bigger.
Alestorm were the first band I ever saw live. I was in year 8, and they were on before Dragon Force.
It was a friend’s birthday, and I was mistakenly invited by his parents instead of another of his friends with the same name. Nobody told me until years later.
In hindsight it makes a lot of sense, since I certainly wasn’t super close with this friend, I was the only one invited, I wasn’t really into that sort of music at the time, and their other friend with the same name definitely was into that music. Quite funny really
Used to love them but they’ve been tainted slightly on account of the front man being a massive racist
Yep me you’ve never seen Alestorm live without telling me you’ve never seen Alestorm live. XD
Never heard of the before.
Never will listen to them again.
I suspect the enormous duck is the absolutely best thing about this gig.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Rule 12 really being tested as of recent.
Fuck, that’s the TRex sized duck I was afraid of!
Constant disregard for rule 12 here today. Unbelievable Jeff.
The duck had an eye patch when I saw them, looooser.
Christ that was over four years ago 😨
Fuuuuck we saw them 10 years ago…no ducks just invisible pineapples.
envious… it dwarfs Judas Priest’s inflatable bull.

Ducks?
Are ducks a thing with this type of music? Saw Turisas at the first Hard Rock Hell festival and someone handed the singer a rubber duck dressed in furs, to no little confusion. Well, no more confusing than seeing Cradle of Filth at mid-day in the same place, the fruit machine/bingo hall.

They do a great live show, but…
… probably worth at least being aware they’re also [racist pieces of shit](https://www.metalblast.net/blog/misoginy-and-racism-the-gloryhammer-alestorm-drama/) and Nuclear Blast did all they could to sweep it under the rug, including basically throwing Gloryhammer under the bus as the distraction sacrifice.
Heading to see them on Tuesday in Belfast. Always a great show live. Just wish they’d bin the Hangover cover.
F**ked with an anchor!
Yarrr!
Christ, how big was the pharmacy they bought it from?
You’re all cunts so fuck you all!
“Fuck you,you’re a fucking wanker we’re gonna hit you right in the balls”
Lucky I want to see them
No bath can contain it !
You evidently didn’t see [Canada’s giant duck](https://nypost.com/2017/06/19/why-canadians-are-mad-about-this-huge-rubber-duck/)

All hail the duck overlord!
Standard Alestorm stuff, do it at every show 🙂
