Italian metal band Nanowar of Steel released their rather scandalous Iron Maiden tribute… which I assume they came up with like this:
- Hey guys do you want to do an Iron Maiden cover?
- Sure that’s a great idea! Which song?
- …all of them!
Now I have to point out that I’ve never really been a fan of Nanowar of Steel… I guess I am one of those metalheads who likes his metal serious… but then I realised that hey, I love Spinal Tap… and Nanowar of Steel is basically Italian Spinal Tap on steroids cranking their goofiness to 11
So after roughly gazillion people sent me this song, I finally checked out the Iron Maiden tribute Afraid to Shoot into the Eyes of a Stranger in a Strange Land… and boy did it crack me up!
00:00 - Intro
00:18 - These go to 11
02:12 - Stranger's adventures
06:04 - Spinal Tap on steroids
07:33 - Verdict
Also, here are the lyrics of Nanowar of Steel - Afraid to Shoot into the Eyes of a Stranger in a Strange Land for your reference:
Fly on your way
Fly as high as the sun
Wasting love with women in uniform
Run to the hills
Run from your wife
Caught somewhere in 22 Acacia Avenue
Be quick or be a long distance runner
No prayer for the long distance runner
The loneliness of the long distance runner to the hills
Seventh son of the long distance runner
Afraid to shoot into the eyes of a stranger
A stranger in a strange world of a strange land
Afraid to look to the eyes of a stranger
A stranger of a stranger in a strange land
Flash of the blaze
Aces high, falling down
The evil that the long distance runner do
Running free, live to fly
Fly to live, fly to fly
Do or diet or be a long distance runner
Children of Charlotte the harlot
The number of Charlotte the harlot
Fear of the virus of Charlotte the harlot
The virus of the ancient mariner
Afraid to shoot into the eyes of a stranger
A stranger in a strange world of a strange land
Afraid to look to the eyes of a stranger
A stranger of a stranger in a strange land
Afraid to shoot into the eyes of a stranger
Can I play with Charlotte the harlot?
Hallowed be thy Charlotte the harlot
You'll take my virus, but I'll take yours too
Only the long distance runner die young
Afraid to shoot into the eyes of a stranger
A stranger in a strange world of a strange land
Afraid to look to the eyes of a stranger
A stranger of a stranger in a strange land
