Some great suggestions here, but there is one glaring omission - Pirate Metal! There is currently only one band that does it - Alestorm, but they are pretty awesome, try [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBW7MZhhLc4) and see how you like it. ---

Spoken like someone who has never heard Queen Anne’s Revenge. Flogging Molly may be celtic, but there’s a bit of piracy in those bones. ---

There’s others that do it, Swashbuckle being the first that come to mind. Also, Alestorm are shit live. Reasonably entertaining on record, granted. ---

You mean like [Running Wild?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDNqLD4KrEA&feature=related) They still seem to be around, and look leather and exploding ships. ---

Don’t miss awesome Swedish metal like The Hellacopters [- YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIWyrDMF7zA&feature=rellist&playnext=1&list=PL4D3BBD14BBA04CA8) and Turbonegro [Turbonegro - Denim Demon - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlWhKQ8IyFA). They’re very reminiscent of the '80s stuff you like. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/traditional-heavy-metal/603690.md?page=2)
