What's this about pirate music?
Borondir:
In his newspost, Jeph disparagingly refers to the Decemberists as pirate indie rock. I've seen this several other places, and I'm just wandering why anyone would say such a thing. ;) There are no pirates in the Decemberists songs, not one!
And having just seen the Decemberists live, I'm really glad Colin's head didn't melt before I got to see him perform.
But on a slightly more serious note, I do get a little tired of reviewers calling them pirate rock. It seems lazy. And its not true.
Storm Rider:
I guess this makes me the only person who thinks that pirate rock would be an awesome genre that somebody should fucking pioneer.
Hat:
I can't spit in my city without hitting someone who is forming a Pirate Rock band. Unfortunatly, most of them are very terrible. I pray for the day these people realize that the accordian is pretty much the backbone of the Pirate Rock style, along with a cowbell, and a thrash guitarist. One out of three just isn't enough.
Oh, and also, hello. Maybe making my first post in the music forum wasn't a good idea, but I was lurking and felt obliged to respond.

Running Wild... need I say more people? PIRATE METAL! Gosh...
KharBevNor:
"AHARRR! THREE MASTED BRIG ON THE STARBOARD BOW! MAAAAN THE CANNONS! AAAAHHARRR!
*cannons, guitars*
Way the anchors, hoist the sails!
Cruisin' for booty on the watery trails...
Carefully sail around the reefs...
To force those die-hards to their knees!
Fly our flag we teach them FEAR!
Capture them the end is NEAR!
Firing guns! *boom*
They shall burrrrn!
Surrender or fight, there's no return...
UNDER JOLLY ROGER!
UNDER JOLLY ROGER!"
...etc.
But yes, Running Wild do rather rule. 3 Inches of Blood sing some pretty rocking tracks about pirates as well.
This is why you people should have broader musical knowledge of other genres, dammit.
