HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Nanowar Of Steel - Vallhalleluja REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING!

[@pianoblacksky]

As a Swede I have to say that there were literal tears in my eyes first time I heard this, I was laughing so hard. The "Guitar tech to Amon Amarth" broke me, I just folded over laughing. If anyone's offended, please chill. If you can't stand a little friendly jab, you're not standing on solid ground. This is hilarious! Thanks for a great reaction!

[@nekane6168]

Same here, I had to stop the song after the Amon amarth moment, everytime someone don't get that joke my hearrt hurts a bit 💔

[@clarabella8]

Maybe we will see them in Eurovision Song contest 2022 representing San Marino :D please, metalhead of Europe, let's vote for SAN MARINO!

[@Nyerguds]

And, don't forget, of Hammerfall as well! ;)

[@ChristianIce]

Hi dude. Thanks for the reaction, I appreciated that it was well thought out and genuine, not simply a "play and headbang along" video ;) I produced and mixed the song, and the only thing I would add is... no, all their songs have the same attitude, the band is a tzunami of puns and satire. It's not a "serious" band taking a break, they are mad in the brain, but they take madness very seriously :D Cheerz!

[@ElvioRomani]

An awesome band that is very serious about making awesome music that refuses to take itself seriously.

[@Nyerguds]

And they do it as a hobby, next to their full time jobs. That's just doubly amazing.

[@Ychos027]

"I don't know how seriously I should take this" Angus McFife coming up shortly: "Hold my Knopparp"

[@pintsize6662]

Best IKEA ad ever!

[@rnowak85]

When this album came out they tried to do shows in actual IKEA stores but they got shot down. Instead they did unofficial meet ups with their fans in Ikea stores and hid Cds around the store and did other games with them. These guys know how to have fun!

[@scray00]

I’ve never heard this before 👍

[@Nyerguds]

Apparently they got kicked out several times.

[@monluztrella]

Well, this was unexpected lmao. Great choice for Christmas Eve! Edit: Man, it was delightful to watch you go from “hmmm” to “wtf” to “LOL”. This band is pure fun! If it’s not already in your queue, I recommend “Norwegian Reggaeton”; as a South American person who is surrounded by reggaeton on a daily basis that one gave me LIFE, man.

[@damianvc31]

+1 I knew them with the reggaeton is pure gold lol

[@nekane6168]

USE SUBTITLES!!!

[@nekane6168]

I'm spanish but half of the population of Colombia and Nicaragua live in my neighbourhood, so I share your pain 💕

[@WitchPsy2]

Love this song. I honestly now want to hear your opinion of Norwegian Reggaeton by them.

[@alaind6173]

That would be cool!

[@nekane6168]

USE SUBTITLES!!

[@prefono]

It's plobably their worst song

[@anderslofgren8235]

Nanowar of Steel is an Italian band and most of their songs are pretty funny, lyrically. Often a good laugh and good music

[@Theodupreez]

Boy oh boy, you are so ready for Norwegian Reggaeton from the same band. Hopefully one of your gilded fans will suggest it soon! Merry Christmas from Cape Town, South Africa!

[@pajmic666]

As far as "comedy metal" goes, this is the best i heard. Its funny, its fun, very well produced, well played and the arrangement are clever. Had it in my song list for a long time.

[@insolentumbrella9969]

I can't help but put this on replay during holiday season. I wasn't expecting a 9.2 but vallhallaluja to all and to all a good night!

[@homegnome2429]

Thanks for this - made me lol a few times! - maybe some Gloryhammer next?

[@nonseinormale]

Nanowar is a comedy band from Rome(Italy) that takes seriously their parodies...they are the Monty Python of Metal!!! All of their songs are plenty of jokes,puns and easter eggs...you mentioned the movie Trading Places...well,here in Italy it is considered a classical xmas movie and it's aired by italian tv every Christmas Eve...not to mention that here the italian title is "Una Poltrona Per Due" (An armchair for two)...it's another joke about furniture... don't know if you will react to some of their songs in the future,personally my favourites are Norwegian Reggaeton,Heavy Metal Kibbles, Hail to Liechtenstein, Barbie MILF Princes of the twilight and Ironmonger and of course their very first big hit Giorgio Mastrota (a parody about the italian Billy Mays)...great reaction and just subbed...merry Christmas from Italy!!!

[@65alef]

Anche Bestie di Seitan o Cacciatore della notte o l'epico inno di Feudalesimo e Libertà sono fantastiche.

[@riccardofroz]

FYI "Trading Places" is a classic Chrimstas movie that is broadcast in Italy every Christmas Eve. Also "Falegn-Amen" is a play on the word "Falegname" that means carpetenter in Italian. I would suggest you react to "Norwegean Reggaeton". Awesome reaction!

[@mutleyeng]

what i love about Nanowar is how clever and sophisticated their humour is. I dont care who you are, some of the jokes are going to go over your head - either cos you miss some reference to metal lore or your classical education isnt up to scratch

[@rossanomacchioni1495]

Italian are crazy guys 😊😊😊🇮🇹

[@foguete88]

This band is absolutely great. They are masters of hiding any kind of references within their songs/videos. Beginning by their name. Nanowar (obviously a reference to Manowar) of Steel (the Name Change from Rhapsody to Rhapsody of fire - another Italian Rock/Metal band) Check out their songs "Polenta Taragnarock" (reference to the regional northern italian food "polenta taragna") they featured a well known Italian TV-Cook in this song), "Uranus" (selfexplaining) xD "Norwegian Reggeaton" (guess what´s the reference) btw. All of them are working full time in normal jobs, and making great, funny music is just their hobby.

[@Helvetichris]

Love it. Have a look at "norwegian regageton" from the same band. Funny again and lots of references ...

[@michaellein2389]

I can never go to IKEA again without thinking of this song. Next time I go there I think I'll say goodbye VALLHALLELUJA :D Best advertising ever! Great reaction.

[@marioguidotomasone1265]

Tht's what I've been doing for the past two years........

[@fenerkropotz9879]

Great reaction!!! Now you are in the right mood for "Norwegian Reggaeton" and "Uranus". This latter is the most "Broadway-style" of their music videos. My favourite.

[@HALberdier17]

They're a comedy metal band. So while they take the song writing seriously the songs aren't meant to be taken seriously.

[@nekane6168]

I discovered yesterday that falegname means Carpenter in italian. That's a great dad joke I hadn't get

[@nanach6276]

Odin! Systembolaget! IKEA! Horsemeatballs!

[@TizianaPinessi]

Beautiful 💜 You're in the rabbit hole now. Please react to more videos of them. The next one has to be "Norwegian Reggaeton" with English subtitles.

[@arayashikinoshaka]

Nanowar? vallhalleluja?? oh hell yeah! best! Xmas! Evah!

[@1947dd]

Hey David, Nan-o-war of Steel are addictively fun but still pretty damn good musicians.

[@My.Darkling]

Nanowar of Steel is definitely a comedy metal band, but it should be noticed that their name is a double metal pun - first Nanowar (playing on Manowar) and then they added "of steel" when Rhapsody had to change their name to Rhapsody of Fire.

[@kathleenandbruce]

Spot on! Needed a good laugh and just got one. So many one liners in this video.

[@cosmickid1794]

Merry Christmas David, wishing peace and love to you and all you hold dear during this festive season! Here's to all the million guitars, pounding drums and different voices singing in song!!

[@grahamokeefe9406]

This song is a great example of the principle that, if you take a really simple comic concept and really commit to it, you can harvest huge comedy.

[@papasonius]

Great choice, from the quarintine to now this can be considered the Christmas Carol for all the rockers in the world, hope you a Merry Christmas with your loved ones. Feliz Navidad desde Panama

[@margretrosenberg420]

Nanowar of Steel is a heavy metal parody band from Rome. Yes, they're very good, but they do this primarily for fun; they all have day jobs that are unrelated. You are correct that Odin was played by their guest, Angus McFife. Except, Angus McFife is actually a *song* by British power metal band Gloryhammer. The role of Angus McFife in the song of the same name was played by the former vocalist of Gloryhammer, Thomas Winkler, who appeared here as Odin. Appropriate, since Thomas Winkler is Swiss, which I believe would make him the only Scandinavian who was involved with this production.

[@jona.874]

Switzerland (where the Swiss are) is between Italy & Germany, and between France and Austria. It is nowhere near Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark).

[@margretrosenberg420]

@jona.874 You are correct. My mistake.

[@Noup309729]

20:26 : YES. This is their style. Nanowar Of Steel always make fun of everything, and uses references to the subject they're making a song about. They also often "refer" to a known older song/band by taking some of the lyrics or beat in a part of their songs, or just impressing the way the "older" band sings it.

[@Torron79]

Having a hard time with Nanowar Of Steel - but this song really got me. You should check out Grailknights sometime soon. Either their older work or Pumping Iron Power. Great reaction once again!

[@embran8486]

FINALLY! Now a bit of Alestorm. Can't wait for other songs of theirs. Hope they're in the queue!

[@TRIPX08]

Wah sangat keren bang gondrong exspresinya menjiwai

[@GenTzu]

It was great watching you laugh so hard, particularly a serious ode to ODIN; the father of fathers and now Master of IKEA! Great reaction as always. I was a little surprised at the high score compared some of your other reactions. It must be Odin influencing your score. Any IKEA furniture btw? I do hate it when you drop a reaction. I end up watching it despite other priorities, like sleep!

[@davidornberg]

Best ad Ikea can have! :-) Try their song Uranus. Lots of Scientific references and.. hrm.. double meanings...

[@xoso599]

Nanowar of Steel is great.

[@pickelskin9848]

Lol merry Christmas

[@Dennis-DK2]

"Is this what they do? Make comedy songs?" well, why dont se have a look at Uranus and you tell us! But "Norwegian Reggaeton" is great too.

[@christophertolley2972]

Merry Christmas David.

[@nanach6276]

Did you recognize the Pippi Longstocking guitarist? :P

[@scray00]

No matter how many times I hear this I can’t help but smile and dance around like an idiot!! 😂

[@galadballcrusher8182]

Well Odin's new testament is not their only good song, Norwegian Reggaeton, Uranus, Barbie Milf Princess Of Twillight...the band has normal jobs and does music for fun

[@hardcorechristopher9174]

Good and marry Christmas everyone

[@damianvc31]

They always do this kind of thing, italian band. You need to check Norwegian Reggaeton for sure, if you are somewhat familiar with that style you are going to laugh A LOT

[@MrDanilop45]

They are incredible! And I can say your reaction is exactly what I think of them. Musically top, Comically top and video top. 9,2 is the right value of the band for me. If you can take a look at Dislike to False Metal, you’ll find a lot top level song: suggested first Pasadena 1994 with the SabatoN singer Joakim Broden. You will not be disappointed.

[@marioguidotomasone1265]

Just compare this with other metal gospel songs and you'll be OK What ? No metal gospel songs out there? Well, there you got it. It's number one

[@rosetoren3881]

You have to watch Barbie - Milf princess of the twilight from Nanowar. It's awesome and hilarious.

[@giovannicella7817]

enhance your knoledge on Nanowar of Steel, and become a Jedi!!! ahahahahaha!

[@rynnziolkowski4642]

All hail Odin Master of IKEA, and no this isn't a departure for the band that's what they do, fun funny songs that mash up genres that prior to my own discovery of them I believed didn't belong together

[@lorannab3092]

honestly, I have NEVER heard anyone being offended by NoS. Ever.

[@pyktis]

I agree with the guy who recommends Norwegian reggaeton xD it's a pretty funny double parody, now you just need to listen to Lady Baby, when Lady Beard was there xD By the way, Merry Christmas and have a nice dinner

[@SatanicusAnima]

Like this one reaction....BUT and that is BIG ONE....i would like blinde reaction to Nanowar of Steel-Norwegian Reaggeaton! it is.....i wont even say...i KNOW YOU will like IT a LOT!!!!!!!!! PLS DO IT!

[@nanach6276]

I like that it is kind of a Buddhist monk singing about Norse mythology in a Christian setting

[@hannadegerlund3227]

Hauskaa Joulua 🎅

[@DIABLO_4_Tester_Sacramento]

ONE MANOWAR SONG PLEASE))

[@prefono]

If you are offended by this, you're not on the wrong channel, you're on the wrong planet!

[@wyrmhand]

Please react to Norwegian Reggaeton WITH CC

[@Whoracle8531]

Knisa Grey > Sasha Grey!

[@MegasAlx]

I was ready to close the tab in disgust. Then they said Odin.

[@Nyerguds]

Nanowar made a career out of making fun of metal bands that take themselves too seriously. If you want the main example of that, it's them making fun of power metal in a song called "Barbie, MILF Princess of the Twilight".

[@marieskavo7159]

"Nanowar of Steel is a serious band" 😂😂😂 The name might be the clue David. Just do Norwegian Reggaeton by them next. Or Uranus. They are great musicians but serious is not the first thing that comes to mind with this band (albeit their was it bass player holds PhD in astronomy).

[@blutwigknochensense3750]

you should establidh a "fun rating" for songs like this. Something like a "lmao - meter"

[@nekane6168]

Norweggian reggaeton Next, please USE SUBTITLES (some parts are in Norweggian and spanish) If you have a bit of knowledge of Norweggian black metal history you'll laugh to tears.

[@nanach6276]

No, Nanowar is a complete joke band :D It's 100% important that you do Norwegian Reggeaton also! :D believe me!:D

[@alanfoster6589]

You can take this dead seriously. Provided while you do so you wear a funny hat, take off your pants, and run around the house screaming like a chicken.

[@TaverenTech]

Seems like this should be 8.x. Even based on comedic value it was too cheesy to be 9.x IMO.
