Someone posted this in another thread, I want a song about this guy:

@Forostar I think Alestorm would do a better job with “1667 (Raid on the Medway)”.

 

[Forostar]

No, they are more about piracy. This is about war and battles. Fits better in Sab's shoes.

 

[Black Wizard]

I think it's time for a double disc concept album about the Balkans Wars.

 

[Night Prowler]

When they played here few years ago, Joakim said they are not touching that subject in order to not upset any countries involved.

They did a good job with Cartagena, though...

Ah, too soon then. How about a double disc concept album about the Middle East then? Nobody ever gets upset in that part of the world.

 

[Diesel 11]

Would be interesting to hear them tackle something happening right now...

Brexit album confirmed

 

[Brigantium]

An entire album about UN peacekeeping.

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

My father and uncle were both UN peacekeepers. Both countries are still fucked. I shall send lyrical ideas to Joakim. Is he on the forum yet?

 

[Wogmidget]

Kosovo: the album

 

[Night Prowler]

Brexit album confirmed

Baptized in London
49-51
Spirit of Brexit
May and Boris

 

[Night Prowler]

This song is awesome and should be played live more often:

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

Back In Control......

 

[Perun]

They should have a concept album about the Anglo-Zanzibar War. Their album length could match the duration of the war.

 

[LooseCannon]

Back In Control......

They didn't play in Argentina at the time.

They should have a concept album about the Anglo-Zanzibar War. Their album length could match the duration of the war.

A beat-for-beat musical re-enactment.

@Niall Kielt how would you feel about a concept album based on the history of Ireland? The tracklisting would be something like:

St. Patrick
The Taming of the Snakes
The Conquest
Cromwell
The Siege of Derry (No Surrender)
Battle of the Boyne
Easter Rising
Kilmainham
Bloody Sunday
Good Friday
The Handball
Arlene
The Irish Border Solution under Brexit

The final song would be a 20 minute, complex Prog epic that literally nobody would understand.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I would be very interested in the concept of that album (song titles aside), but Sabaton is not the band to make it.

I believe that you are entirely correct to add the handball incident to the stand out events in Irish history.
