I thought it was American too?! 

Seems that there are parasites everywhere that reap the benefits of others' hard work and hide behind laws that entitle them to such protection.

Of course, if the offended purists want to step up and post some historically accurate material on Youtube, I would really appreciate their endeavors!

I am no purist, nor am I offended, but simply stating an opinion which you seem to share so very freely, whether we want to hear them or not.  Not everything needs to be an argument.
Are you that bored that you feel the need to turn every subject into one of  provocation?

While you seem knowledgeable on many a subject, others' opinions are not rendered invalid by yours.

And for historical accuracy, I give you:

Yes, I have strong opinions, and the majority of them are backed by facts.  I tend to be blunt and direct, and if that bothers some people, then they probably annoy me!

If you don't like my comments, don't read them.  You have the privilege of not talking to me at Nach gigs as well.  The opinions of others are not invalid, but I may or may not agree with them.  I go to see Nach gigs, not try to fit in with a clique of people called misfits.  Take me or leave me, just don't ever lie about me behind my back or play backstabbing gossip games (not saying you do this).

Von Daniken, yes, he has a lot of interesting perspectives.  I've read his work in the past, and it is perfect for conspiracy theory based hollywood films.

I don't know you this jumped from William Wallace to Aliens!!     For the record on my part I'll give you truth and make a closer jump from aliens as to what is "historical accuracy"    Funny now that video cameras are so much better that we don't have to watch aliens fly around in little spacships or big foot running around the woods. Fact is that Romans had heated floors long before Home depot, but I guess that will be up for debate too.....

Welcome Dahoser. Don't think I've officially done that. This is a pretty fun place, and occasionally, people speak their minds.
Rest assured, I wasn't at all offended at what you said,
I was merely mocking Badger.

I do a lot of freelance videography, so I have respect for anyone taking the time to express themselves in that medium.
This was merely a response to Badger's 'Imonnatellyahowitis attitude'.

Personally, that movie evoked my interest.
It' s moving, beautifully done, and I watch it every now and again, inaccuracies and all....since I own a copy.

It was being sarcastic.
And as you can tell, I'm the subtle one on here

dahoser,

Here is another video using images from Braveheart.  It is historically inaccurate, but the music kicks @$$!

K. Just got back online, and just HAVE to comment on some of the things said about Mel Gibson's "lack of historical accuracy".  I have seen movie after movie about historical figures, and very few of them have ever been completely accurate.

My take on Mel's 2 very controversial movies is that he was after having you identify with the "saviors" he was featuring, and to actually feel the torments that each went through in order to accomplish their ends.  He did that so admirably that I had to stop each of the movies in order to catch my breath and go on, tears streaming down my face. 

I have always been emotionally moved by The Uprising, and I salute you for the way you used Braveheart to give it visual depth.  Thank you for a very moving montage.

Judy,
Thank you very much for your support and I could not have writen a better post myself! When Badger posted my video it had around 3200 views and now has 9230 so some others have liked it to! I've only had 2 or 3 bad reviews. Most Braveheart video's on YT have been very popluar some with 2 or 3 hundred thousand views. I to loved the movie and consider it one of my top all time favorites! I think it is still one of the only video's with Alannach's The Upraising at all. Most of there music is of them live but maybe that is why because to make one with a montage of truth would take some very hard work to put together with pictures of what is truth if it would be good at all! All I know is that the song fit the movie and the scenes in it! I hate that I have maybe started off on the wrong foot here before I ever joined! Seems to be some very wonderful folks here and I'd like to get to know others better! Truth is most of the site seems to be about Albannach on the east coast with the subject matter of the treads and posts and I'm stuck out here in Colorado where they decided not to come again until next year..   I'm rambling so enough    Anyways, I'm happy you enjoyed the video and thank you for your kind words!!    And I still thank Badger for posting it!

Nah, stick with your beliefs regardless whether or not people agree/disagree with them.  With all the strong, opinionate people that post here, controversy and disagreement is going to happen.

[redsonja943]

I don't think you got off on the wrong foot, Dahoser.  You made a wonderful contribution to the tribe of misfits, and got them ramblin', ravin' and rabble rousin', which is what this band of misfits loves to do, and does best. 

Do have to correct you on one point, though. 

Albannach didn't choose not to come to Colorado...they weren't invited this year...so email the Long's Peak Fesitval folks and complain.  I hear they're getting a LOT of that.  And they deserve it.  I have been going there for 5 years, and have NEVER before seen the music tent as full as it was last year...nor as loud with people loving what they were seeing and experiencing. 

I haven't complained yet.  I haven't cooled off enough to be diplomatic.

Here is my e-mail from April 4th... So I did write them and I got a reply from them. I also called and she told me that they were booked and in January it did show them as coming back on the fest's web site but she told me that it was Albannach that had a problem with dates. That could have been just her line because I was pissed off. But here is the e-mails and you will get the same answers I'm sure,

Due to conflicts with scheduling.  They have been asked to come back for the 2010 festival.. I am sorry I realize they are very popular and are sorry they will not be joining the festival this year.

Hello,
I am deeply disappointed that you have decided not to ask Albannach back this year!!! I read earlier in the year on the site that they were coming back, now they aren't. Can you please let me know why because I know they truly wanted to return? They are a big draw to the fest and they have a large fan base that brings people from all over. It's a shame that is for sure!!
 
Thanks,
Floyd Deal

I was nice on the e-mail or I wouldn't have gotten a reply! Someone on another post said that they were told that they only let bands come two times in a row so others can come so this will be Brothers last year too!
