Alestorm: Difference between revisions

* [[Determinator]]: Some characters in songs, like the Huntmaster and the narrator in ''Chronicles of Vengeance''.

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: ''Midget Saw'', wherein a pirate gets his legs sawed off for the crime of killing a monkey. It must have been one awesome little primate.

* [[Hook Hand]]: The main zombie pirate on the cover of "Black Sails At Midnight" has a trident replacing one hand, He also has a sword but you can't see if he's holding it or if it's a [[Blade Below the Shoulder]].

** ''Wolves of the Sea'' contains the lyrics "The hook of our Captain is looking at you"

* [[Shout-Out]]: Several, including a brief retread of the theme from [[Pirates of the Caribbean]] in ''No Quarter'', the use of [[Treasure Island|"with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho"]] in ''Keelhauled'' and the theme tune to [[Chucklevision]] in Buckfast Powersmash.

** Arrrrr ye forget ''Wolves of the Sea'' which contains the lyrics "The hook of our Captain is looking at you. There's no Peter Pan so what can you do?!"

* [[Take That]]: ''Swashbuckled'' is a playful repartee at Alestorm's friends, fellow pirate band Swashbuckle, in response to the latter's ''We Are The Storm''.

** And if I'm not mistaken, Back Through Time(the track) is a [[Take That]] directed at fellow Folk Metal band Turisas, for the song Hunting Pirates.

*** ''Scraping the Barrel'', off of Back Through Time, is a response to some of the band's criticism as being a "gimmicky band" that will eventually become dry. Their response? "If you don't like it, go start your own band."

* [[Talk Like a Pirate]]: [[Captain Obvious|Well, yeah.]]

** [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]].

* [[Verbed Title]]: ''Keelhauled'', ''Shipwrecked''.
