Guys! He's talking about Scott Columbus, the drummer of Manowar. In 1992 the released the albumn "The Triumph Of Steel" and on their "Triumph Concert", they were declared loudest band in the world. Yep.... So the song went a little like this:
In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
Ah, f*ck it...

In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.
He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.
A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.
Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.
Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.
Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.
October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!
"Indians! Indians!" Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.
But "India" the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.
The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.
Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he'd been told.
He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.
The first American? No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.

In 1992, Columbus sailer the ocean blue,
this story is truthfully true
he landed upon a little shore
he had made it, who could ask for more?
Then in 1993,
Columbus sailed back out to sea,
After murdering the natives there
Gave Queen Isabella quite the scare,
Because he introduced slavery,
What a great "white man" was he!
Then in 1994,
When the slaves asked for more,
Old Columbus, a redneck was he,
left Spain again out to the sea,
And met his American slaves who could tell,
They smashed him and sent him to ...

In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
He went as far as the Niagara Falls,
but he had to go back for his overalls!

He sailed in 1492. If he sailed in 1992, America would be the youngest super-power in the world.
