In the tv in the background you can see the movie "Trading Places" (with Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy)...here in Italy it's considered a traditional xmas movie and it's aired every xmas eve on tv...fun fact the italian title is not a translation of the original...it's called "Una Poltrona Per Due" (an armchair for two) ...another pun/joke about furniture made by Nanowar in this video.

Heh... that is interesting! In Sweden we also have one of those movies that for some reason just became a tradition to show on tv each year around Christmas/New Year. But for us that movie is Ivanhoe (the 1982 version), it was first shown on tv here on the 31st of December 1982, and ever since it has been shown every year somewhere between Christmas and New Year. I was born in 1979, so I grew up with this movie, it is the nr 1 reason why Knights have become my favorit warriors from history. XD Speaking of which... I have not yet seen it this year yet... so... I think I am going to go watch Ivanhoe now... it's just something that has to be done. XD

That song is bonkers. Its lyrical progression is hilarious, what starts as an ode to Odin quickly devolves, or evolves, into an ad for IKEA. That's easily one of my favorite christmas songs.

Yup! Would love to see that

Saw them in Italy, one of the most skilled and funniest bands ever! The made a lot of italian songs (they are italians), parodies of several things for our country and in general other things, such as 400 Calci (parody of fighting movies), Bestie di Seitan (parody for vegans), Giorgio Mastrota (parody of one (in)famous italian tv seller for sofas and couches), Il Cacciatore della Notte (parody of a species of howl), and Feudalesimo e Liberta' (parody of a parodistic political party addressing a return of feudalistic society). English-wise, their last album is entirely in English, some of the best are The Call of Cthulhu and my favorite Vegan Velociraptor. PS: in the song, they say Falegn-Amen. Perhaps for non-italian speakers this sound senseless. "Falegname" is carpenter, and it refers, obliviously to both IKEA and Saint Joseph, putative father of Jesus. Amen is... well, amen. Hence, the separation of falegn-amen XD PS2: at the end, you can see in the television the movie Trading Places. This is because, for unknown reasons, it has been hired in Italian TV at every single Christams since, becoming one of the most "christmasty" movie in Italy ever.

Good one! Although, how about an actual reaction to Rhapsody first, I don't think there are any on either Tank's or Chases channels. Which is a shame, in my book, they are as great as Nightwish, or even better. Differences would be exchange of Amazon godess singer to Weird Al lookalike Fabio Lione (not bad at all either) and Tuomas very inspired, personal and thoughtful lyrics to Fantasy world theme lyrics. Otherwise everything checks out, compositional geniuses, symphonic arrangements, big cinematic sound and brilliant musicians.

My only problem with the lyrics is that they missed a joke. Odin should not sing "I'm a Gentlegod", but instead "I'm a Djentlegod". Just for that one EXTRA joke. It bums me out all the time that its not the official lyrics, but oh well.

Man, Valhallelujah is already a year old ? Daaaamn... And very good point on the evolution of the song from "violent Ancient Testament" to "eeeh, let's try to portray our religion as a more tolerant and modern one New Testament". Never crossed my mind. Oh and random recommendation to eventually add to your list : Myrath - Beyond the Stars (live in Carthage), to add Tunisia to your list of country. :)

"Did it, lost it, wanted it in my channel, so redid it, labeling it as such" is perfectly aceptable in my book, man.

Man! Corrupted files are the worst! That's probably totally unrelated to my problem, on my own obscure and tiny YT-channel: all my old videos (uploaded like 7-10 years ago) are corrupted, which they were NOT way back then, when they were new. YT must have done something with the old material somewhere along the line, like compressed and then decompressed? Anyway, a corrupted file destroys joy where-ever and when-ever it pops up its ugly head! But we're happy you uploaded this version, not EVERYTHING needs to be a "first time react"-video. You put in good data and enthusiastic comments throughout your videos, and they are a joy to watch. Having pushed this (as many of your loyal followers do in the comments) I would really love to see you put on Devin-videos where you comment stuff and tell us why you, too, love that man and his work...

Now we've got a new X'mas song other than "No Present for Christmas" by mighty King Diamond.

Veal Fatina, Lasagna, grilled Zucchini and Peppers, Olive Oil and Balsamic salad, fresh pane(bread), Tiramisu for desert. The perfect Italian Christmas meal 🤤 I'll sing Valhalleluja for that!

I really think you ll enjoy The Call Of Cthulhu by Nanowar of Steel.
