Rebel Yell

Rebel yell – the stuff of legends. But how did it really sound? Well, this little Youtube gem is probably the closest to the real thing that we will ever hear before figuring out how to travel in time.

Listen to the rendition at the end of this clip. Now imagine being in the middle of nowhere, sun is just rising, the surroundings are covered in light morning mist. You’re frozen and stiff after sleeping yet another night on the ground, cursing your lot while longing for the first sip of that awful, but hot coffee.  Suddenly the morning silence is shattered by a cacophony of this sound mixed with smatter of musket and artillery fire. Don’t know about you, but I’d strongly consider reallocating myself to somewhere else, somewhere very far away from this bloodcurdling sound. :-)
