VIKING REACTS | NANOWAR OF STEEL - "Pasadena 1994"

[@sfcx1]

They're currently in tour in Italy, Don't think they have the time to answer. Anyway this Is not produced by sabaton, in this album they made every song in a different style and, when possibile, they invited some.guest. in this case joakim fits perfectly. I heard an interview where they said they just asked him. He wanted to hear the song first. He liked the song so he accepted the collaboration

[@VikingReacts]

Awesome job in that case! I thoroughly enjoyed it in any case

[@StergiosMekras]

"How does he keep a straight face?!" ...he almost doesn't, that's how

[@ChristianIce]

4:14 Nope, I produced the song. Beaver guys did the video. Thanks for the kind words

[@VikingReacts]

I've just looked it up and indeed you did! Well done indeed. Amazing Kudo's! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am sure I will find more and more things i've missed the more I watch it! So was it an airsoft field or not? ;)

[@ChristianIce]

@@VikingReacts Yep :)

As soon as he said it, I ran through the comment sure to find you here!! Unsung hero!! Daje giòòòò!!!

[@dorlonelliott9368]

Still waiting for Sabaton History Channel episode for this epic battle.

[@anklebiterwoodworks2818]

Joachim is such an awesome person! I truly wonder how many takes it took for him to get through this....Divinely Perfect of a parody that even Weird Al can't hold a candle to. Not even Amish Paradise. My hat is off to you, sirs, respect.

[@chrismatthew8812]

Another great reaction. I love it when Nanowar do songs in the style of other bands. Not only do the songs sounds exactly like the bands they are inspired by, but the lyrics and music are always incredible. I would highly recommend you check out ‘Heavy Metal Kibbles’ which is a Nanowar song about cat food, done in the style of the heaviest Judas Priest tracks. Pure awesomeness!!! Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺🤘

The whole song is a parody of FIFA World Cup 1994 final match between Italy and Brazil, in Pasadena (USA), and Italy lost after penaly shootouts. Mr. Baffo plays "Roberto Baffo", a parody of Roberto Baggio, aka "The divine ponytail", the great italian soccer player who led Italy to final match and, sadly, failed the last penalty. Potowotominimak plays a "Potoreporter" named "Maurizio Kyiv", a parody of Maurizio "Mosca" a well knows italian TV journalist; in Italy "Mosca" is also the name given to "Moscow", so... you know. Mohamed Abdul, the guitarist, plays "Aladino Baggio, midfielder of Middle East", a parody of Dino Baggio, another player who played the final, and "Aladino" is the italian name for Alladin. Mohamed Addul, Aladdin, same origin. Gatto Panceri, the bassist (and astrophysicist who knows and speaks 16 different languages), plays "Giangatto Baresi", the parody of the great italian defender "Franco Baresi", another great hero who failed his penalty. Uinona Raider, the batterist, plays "Uinonadoni", whose name is the same as Roberto Donadoni, another italian player who played the final. General Sacchi, the bald guy, is a parody of "Arrigo Sacchi", italian coach in 1994, himself was bald and he used to wear sunglasses, during the final too. The italian voice is Bruno Pizzul, historical soccer commentator of italian TV during the final in 1994. The graphic itself reminds the graphic used during TV streams. In the last scene we can see "Ciao", the italian mascotte during Italy World Cup 1990, 4 years before, used as a tombstone that holds Roberto Baffo's divine ponytal.

Props to you for the explanation, i always suffer when someone doing the reaction doesn't understand all the jokes they manage to put into it but I understand that not being Italian and in this case not knowing about football (soccer...) Is really a big problem if you want to understand Nanowar Of steel

[@sickbale]

@@gudemik5335 glad to be helpful. Each Nanowar's song requires a master degree to be fully understood ahah. For example "Tooth fairy" requires a master in Economy and Business. They actually take the irony very seriously.

[@p3chv0gel22]

The "Goalkeeper of the seven keys" bottom Text under Uinonaodoni was a joke about him being a defender but also Helloweens classic Power-Metal albums Keeper of the seven keys (Part 1 and 2)

[@Dr.Alfred]

i dont know what you mean by parody. this is a documentary video about the 1994 FIFA world cup

[@Nyerguds]

@@p3chv0gel22 In fact they made a joke about the Seven Keys thing before in the song "Ironmonger", where they called the titular character "Ineffable Copier of the Seven Keys".

[@chrisumana7644]

Sabaton greatest hits in one song

[@HellBrYnger]

i kinda feel like atleast some italians were pleased when germany put brazil in their place, winning 7:1

[@Billy01113]

I saw this video a couple of weeks back, and the song immediatly made my Sabaton play list :P

[@Friendly_T_Girl]

If you look at 2:37. Purple hair guy is actually doing the kneeslapping. Maybe not as intense. But definitely deliberate.

[@alaind6173]

Its about the final of the World Championship 1994 in the USA between Italy and Brazil (italy lost after penaltys). The game was in Pasadena.

[@p3chv0gel22]

For the "offsite trap" thing: Football has a "offsite" rule, which (a bit simplified) means that your furthest attacking player can't be closer to the enemies goal than the ball and the closest defending player. If that happens, the attacking team loses the ball and the defending Team gets to play An "offsite trap" would be a constallation, where the defending team lures someone from the other team into offsite to regain control over the Ball

[@KnightofWine]

The part in Rio was pretty awesome! I'll never forget it.

[@davidelancellotti8796]

"Divine Ponytail" is the nickname given to Roberto Baggio (italian "Il divin Codino") for his very distinctive hairstyle, he was one of the best football players ever, and surely in the top 3 of the 1990s best players. While partecipating in three wc, he never won one

[@GYX453]

Must watch sabaton historia channel for this song 😂🤣

[@Nyerguds]

Alas, I don't think they cover sports events 🤣

[@umarae27]

That was so epic!

[@OrionOnion]

2:14 "New Text Layer" xD

[@VikingReacts]

Psssht, you didn’t see a thing ;)

[@brittjannesath2539]

Would be interesting to hear Sabaton doing a cover of this….. lol 👍

[@gudemik5335]

I wouldn't do if I were them they'd probably play it slightly worse :p

[@elvwood]

So good! Makes me laugh every time. And I'll be seeing Sabaton a little earlier than you...

[@Adoffka]

How do you replicate that? You take Last stand, Bismarck and the third song, I can't remember and mix them together ) You should listen to Sabadu, that is even more over sabatoney parody specifically on sabaton

[@Finkele1]

That's actually very serious thing for ppl...not from usa who's best is have a show with handegg

[@VikingReacts]

I tried watching the handegg game once. Don’t see the appeal actually. Thank Odin I’m not American ;)

[@Finkele1]

@@VikingReacts I somehow lmow like basic rules how handegg is played but it's fucking boring. Commercial break after 2 plays. and they actually whine fooball is boring... Ukko is pretty great or Thor or Brahma. All imaginary so football is pretty good

I recommend it, it's a curiosity for a Rhapsody fan Nanowar Of Steel - Barbie MILF Princess Of The Twilight (Lyrics Video)[feat. [Fabio Lione] 🤣🤣

[@andrebrodbeck3883]

I want to ask you something completly offtopic: Are you familiar with the bands wardruna and heilung? (Could not find them in your reactions, but maybe you didn't Do a reaction, because you already know them)

[@VikingReacts]

Yup, i know them and did indeed do a react for both. I do plan on making a few more btw... 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpDGfY1mrdR2a8U 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foi1f6Oar9F9bLs
