Swedish Idol Contestant Does Iron Maiden Song

[A7]

Now why is it that American Idol can't get talent like this on their show? This is Erik Grönwall, a contestant on the Swedish edition of the show (simply titled Idol) who covered classic rock tracks from Queen, Bon Jovi and KISS on his way to winning last year's contest. And he also did Maiden. Check it out.

Wow man...wow.

Nice!! He has that classic "Euro Metal" voice! A little pitchy here n there but overall I think even Maiden would be impressed. LOL! Totally cool how they get to play in an actual arena too!
