Title: OT - Heavy Metal Sea Shanties!
Post by: guest18 on August 01, 2010, 09:24:10 PM

Found this (whilst looking for the guitar chords for "The Drunken Sailor" for one of SWMBO's Guide events);

Awesome!! What a combination, 1980's metal and 1880's shanty lol :-)

Who's Cornish  ??? You could call me Jock, you could even call me another nationality at a push, but Cornish I'm afraid I'm not  ;) ;D  :P

QI fact, "The Drunken Sailor" was the only shanty permitted to be sung on Royal Navy ships. The rest were only sung on merchantmen (and privateers etc of course!)
