NANOWAR OF STEEL Valhalleluja REACTION

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

The bassist of Nanowar of steel worked at a university in Jerusalem and speaks Hebrew fluently. He actually, as far as I know, speaks 10 languages fluently.

Systambolaget is the national Swedish liquor store. The Swedish items they are singing at the end are furniture items from the IKEA catalog. Falen Amen is a play on words. Falegname is Italian for carpenter. When this album first came out the band tried to do shows in IKEA stores but were turned down. Instead they had unofficial meet ups with their fans in the stores and hid band merch around the store for their fans to find.

[@Nyerguds]

I don't think they ever asked Ikea, actually. They just did stuff in their stores and were often kicked out for basically doing treasure hunts inside the store.

A couple of trivia: The joke about Sasha Grey is more layered than it may seems. Sasha is a brand of bed frame (like kinsa is an Ikea bed frame). Both Sasha and Kinsa come in grey too. Amon amarth and Hammerfall (the guitar tech contributors) are swedish too, and systembulaget is the swdish sets of state shop where you can buy alcoholic drinks. By the way, Nanowar have a song with the singer of Steel Panther (the astronomical Uranus). And I strongly adivise you to check Glory Hammer

Excellent video! There are literally dozens of reaction-videos to this one, but you are the first one to explain the Hebrew-references. Kudos for that!

[@BaldHeadedMETAL]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@Nabeshin1976]

Since you like to get all the references, here's some more Trivia. - the movie playing on the tv in the background is Trading Places, that's aired every Xmas Eve in Italy - there was a scandal some time ago about finfing some not declared horse meat in the famous Ikea's meatballs - collecting pencilsfrom Ikea is very common for Swedish children - Swedish metal bands Amon Amarth and Hammerfall seem to hate each other - some scenes are quote from The Blues Brothers - the solo on a cliff is a parody of November Rain video - finalky the most interesting point IMHO, if you think about it Odin changes from cruel and mean in the first half of the song to friendly and caring in the Second half... As it happens in christan Bible, if you confront the Old Testament and the New Testament.

[@kirtipur2]

Amen:-)

[@nekane6168]

Who has more steel than Manowar? An IRONMONGER! That's the next Nanowar you don't know you need, even if It's a lyric video.💕 Totally worth It for a Manowar fan.

[@whybother987]

Lyrically I also love Quest for Carrefour. The references are so well put together there.

[@nekane6168]

It's so damn awesome when a reactor gets the references.💕 I had to stop the video at Amon Amarth, that made me laugh to tears.

[@BaldHeadedMETAL]

its so full of refrences i know i missed alot lol

[@Kraakesolv]

Love watching you, you have the brains to understand the jokes, like the Hebrew part..first time ive seen anyone really get it! And that makes me happy.

[@nekane6168]

Can we please take a moment to praise that guitar solo? It's catchy at Final countdawn's level!

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

I also like the riff. I was astounded when Mohammed Abdul said, that the riff had been written by Uinona Raider, the drummer. But I think Uinona Raider plays several instruments, as he has studied music. :D

[@nekane6168]

@@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468 They know about everything, history, several lenguages, astrophysics, instruments, all music generes...and making people laugh (even without getting the references). How can any other band compete with all this??

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

@@nekane6168 I know no other band who can. Plus: they are never boring, every single song is so totally different. :D As a former musician, I think that is one of the most interesting things for me. :D

And I noticed she was a gargoyle has to be next. They are a very clever/ catchy band

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

And then I noticed that she was a Gargoyle is a great song. But they have so many great songs! And each one is so, so different! :D OMG.

[@starwarstimeline]

I was waiting for you to do this reaction. Watching now... EDIT: That Hebrew part had me on the floor. Everything is so freaking random and yet... it all fits together. This is as metal as it gets!!

[@micmac274]

SOBER by Nanowar is extremely similar to " I'll sue ya" by Weird Al in that it is a style parody of another band with the message being the opposite of what that band usually say. Alestorm sing about drinking all the time, so a song about Sober pirates is a great pisstake.

Yes... Odin is Angus McFife X111 of GloryHammer.

[@theoldguard5825]

Fun fact (that someone might have already posted): the bass player for the band is an actual astrophysicist, and he speaks around 10 languages, including Hebrew

[@dac2007]

Got to this video late but I had to comment it's a piece of art 😂 I'm also jewish and those lyrics in Hebrew got me laughing hard the first time. They are so good at this.

[@nekane6168]

They are just giving the Names of random Ikea forniture pieces. And They have a video of "Ikea furniture reacts to valhalleluja", just some pieces of forniture watching the song on a TV. Genius!

[@jacoposcarabello]

I'm so happy to find someone who gets all their references, and I think you're the first one I saw getting the Shema Israel reference. GattoPanceri666 (the founder and bassist of the band) is an astrophysicist, he lived for a while in Israel in Tel Aviv when he was there researching and teaching! He speaks like 10 languages fluently and many songs has sentencies in different languague ☺

[@fredbarnes2600]

Actually my first time on this one. It's brilliant! As for their guest vocalist you're seeing a lot of him, he was in Warriors of the World too. If you like this sort of thing check out Leo from Frog Leap Studios, you won't be disappointed. Great reaction!

[@joshuamasonseight-bitbasta2451]

Nobody ever reacts to that amazing gutteral high note from Angus McFife. Gives me goosebumps every time.

[@Pr1ck4chu]

Check out the vocal coaches that also have been reacting to this song, they ALWAYS react to that note 🙂 (they wouldn't be that good at their job otherwise)

Both Amon Amarth (melodic death metal with a heavy influence of the viking era) and Hammerfall (heavy/power metal) are Swedish metal bands.

I'm not usually a fan of Viking/Scandinavian Metal. But this band is awesome! Don't get me wrong. Have great respect for their technical musical talent. Just don't feel it. Sabaton for example is very. Very. Talented. And as a history junky I love the historic themes of their songs. Great band. But I don't put on one of their albums when I'm cooking dinner. Like I do Zeppellin or Band Maid. This band I might actually do that. They're having fun and obviously are enjoying themselves. Not taking themselves too seriously. This was fun! Thanks Brother!😊😎✌🤘

You are the first to get the references to "Shema Yisrael" but being of Jewish descent helps. I only knew it from Arnold Schönberg's cantata "A Survivor from Warsaw" which is a memorial to the victims of the Shoah and ends with a choir singing the "Shema Yisrael" Not very metal but a powerful piece of music. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHi6kpxmiKqji7M This band have so many references to things in their lyrics In Disco Metal they have Dante turn up and hand them a scroll then the lyrics go into Italian and they sing some Dante The inner nerd in me got me and I was laughing my ass off especially as it was very appropriate for the song.
