- Опубликовано: 3 мар 2022
- For their upcoming album "The War to End All Wars," SABATON puts out another greusome and touching video featuring the story of Sir Adrian Carton De Wiar, the unkillable soldier. His story is amazing, having suffered many deadly wounds, tunneling out of a POW camp, and surviving through three separate wars. SABATON always finds the best stories to tell in their melodic way.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to SABATON performing "The Unkillable Soldier”.

Fun fact the person portraying as the unkillable soldier is Indy Neidell. He hosts the Great War channel on RUclips. And he explains the lyrics behind Sabatons' songs on the Sabaton History channel.
ruclips.net/video/xbf_mF7_KmI/видео.html
Been on a "Strong female vocal lead" kick on Pandora lately.
Includes Halestorm, In This Moment, The Pretty Reckless, Evanescence and the link above Dorothy. Kind of a Blues Rock that I think you'll appreciate. There's a non acoustic version that you might prefer the arrangement of also.
Can I ask how can I recommend you a video
I really recommend "Lady of the dark", one of my personal favourites of the realeased album
The soldier the song is talking about, Adrian Carton de Wiart was a British Army officer born to Belgian and Irish parents. He participated in the Boer War, the First and Second World Wars. He was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip, and ear; was blinded in his left eye; survived two plane crashes; tunnelled out of a prisoner-of-war camp, and tore off his own fingers when a doctor declined to amputate them. Describing his experiences in the First World War, he wrote, "Frankly I had enjoyed the war." For surviving all this, he is known as "The unkillable soldier".
Sir Adrian Carton De Wiar is such an incredible man! shot in the eye, tore off he's own fingers when they were blown up, got shot in nearly every part of he's body, survived 2 plane crashes and even dug he's way out of a Prisoner Camp and lived to be 83! and that final sentence is what he said about the war. what a wild Pirate Gentlemen he was.
And after all that he died peacefully in his bed
Bro was built different
The dude definitely deserves his own episode of Count Dankula's Mad Lads series.
How do y'all like my Whitebeard Unkillable Soldier AMV?
Pirate? the ones that steal, rape children and women and even other guys in ships, torture, pillage, etc? nope dude those where the english perverts. this guy was born of Belgian and Irish parents. not ENGLISH. that´s the explanation.
To think the "Unkillable Soldier" was an actual living person, greatly raises the badass bar.
They have lots of songs about those kind of guys, really awesome
I don't think it can get any more badass when you remember that he enjoyed the First World War.
Literally embodies the phrase 'Too angry to die.'
An anecdote: since Sir Adrian kept being admitted to the same field hospital, the nurses already had his own pajamas ready for him! 😮
Can you imagine how many times someone thought about making a movie of his life and went, nah, it will look too far fetched...
Adrian Carton de Wiart
Living example of "Local Man too patriotic to die"
A better man than all of us
"Frankly, I quite enjoyed the war!" - the Absolute Madlad
More like the living example of the Black Knight from Monty Python.
@@HeroofBergen Exactly! The only difference being that Adrian Carton de Wiart did win his battle(s).
@@Eadwulf_Skald I hope and pray Elizabeth has seen that movie! If not, she should do a reaction!!!! (j/k)
The lyrics "an immortal solider finds his home" really rings true for this character. The man felt uncomfortable in the normal world. Times of peace were painful for him. He felt comfortable, and he felt like his true self on the battle field. Even before going to war he felt this way, indicating he was just hard wired that way. Someone like this can be dangerous as they always feel restless and are prone to getting into trouble, but when the world is on fire, a person like this truly do find their home.
Sir Adrian and Lauri Torni were similar in that regard I think, both well decorated officers who felt out of place in peacetime, who kept trying to find the action where they could feel truely alive.
Kinda sounds like he was just a murderous psychopath to be honest
Many men have quietly felt similarly.
@@AnikaJarlsdottr- Don’t forget Mad Jack Churchill. Dude fought in WWII with a long bow and bagpipes.
To be completely honest, I found how Indy acted for the character and the band repeatedly tried to kill him comical
I had been thinking it looked like him.
The fact it was Indy vs Sabaton made it comical. If anybody else but Indy had played the part it wouldn't have felt that way.
That was the intention of the video. This guy had such a wacky life, that it's kinda comical
Indy who? The Peter Sellers guy?
Me too :)
Night witches by Sabaton is genuinely one of the best songs I’ve ever heard.
Need the full animation for the full emotional impact.
That song is like a shoot of morphine right into the veins
That song revitalizes me, if I’m ever in a war and I get shot and I’m bleeding out, play that song, I’ll pull a Sir Adrian all over their asses
I completely agree! Night Witches is my favourite Sabaton song! Also one of my favourite songs in general!🥰🥰🥰
My favourite Sabaton History channel episode is Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
Indie portrayed Lawrence of Arabia.
His camel story is so hilarious. I swear that would happen to me LOL.
Indie is such a passionate narrator and his love for Sabaton is awesome.
I love that episode of theirs so much! I even went on Amazon and bought Seven Pillars of Wisdom. The book is huge
"He always kept coming for more!"
Sir Adrian was tenacity personafied.
Achievement Unlocked: Rasputin.
@@JonathanToolonie How to obtain: survive a match with only 1% health remaining
Vladimirs friend!
Like a living Chuck Norris joke.
Possibly even harder.
More Sabaton please. You should do some of their slower songs like The Ballad of Bull or En Livstid I Krig.
I second En Livstid i Krig!
Or The hammer has fallen live
I third en livstid i krig, please the live version from Gothenburg
En Livstid I Krig live, please.
As long as she reacts to the live performance of in Sweden of En Livstid I Krig with subtitles. The best live performance IMO.
Indy is living his best life I swear. He was already doing WWI and WWII history videos before the Sabaton History channel started, and the band brings him in to play in the music videos on occasion.
If ever there was a man blessed by the gods of war, it was Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, for he just would not die, and by all acounts seemed to crave battle. Where most people would strive to avoid war, he jumped in head first and loved it. Absolute madlad.
Indy is great, for sure! He actually runs a channel called "World War Two" - where he breaks down week-by-week the events of WW2, as if it were happening live today. He did the same with "The Great War" for WW1. Impressive stuff. And Sabaton - what can you say. They're always freakin' amazing :D
He also did a chronological history of the interwar years, "Between Two Wars".
And has a channel with sabaton called sabaton history which goes into what the song is about and how the song came to be
And is starting on the Korean War.
@@user-gl5dq2dg1j Ya! Can't wait for that :) Saw the official launch update the other day. Should be a great series. Admittedly, I don't know a ton about the Korean War, so it should be enlightening.
Sir Adrian is famous for his quote about enjoying the war but he also has mind blowing quotes where he compares his injuries. He said something to the effect "As someone who has tried both, losing my hand was worse than losing my eye"
I like how there wasn't enough time in the music video to show all of the injuries that Sir Adrian endured, so they have that scene where the Sabaton crew just unloads on him, to represent all his injuries
This video was the silliest, most over the top and also awesome songs I have seen from Sabaton. I love it.
The chorus near the end, when they repeat "Edge of Madness" gets so bombastic, so intense and insane... Even while watching the video I couldn't help but laugh at the insanity of Sir Adrian, and the video.
He was legitimately nuts. After being shot 9 times, surviving 2 plane crashes and escaping a POW camp, he died in his sleep in his 80s.
@@cxpKSip Proper mad lad
Did you catch the quote in the end?
"Frankly I've enjoyed the war"
It's said that he said (or wrote) that after surviving WW I
The video is done in a pretty comical fashion, with all the members of Sabaton trying to kill Indy, but that line hit me hard, the fact that after all those gruesome injuries he still "enjoyed the war" seems crazy to me
Oh yea, he was completely bonkers.
He had the issue many soldiers have where they can't adapt to civilian life after having been at war, and so search out war again and again.
Sabaton should do one about "Mad" Jack Churchill.
@@markbowerii7632- That’s what I was thinking. After all, guitars and bagpipes go well together.
Fun fact: Tommy, one of Sabaton's guitarists (he's the guy in the video with the epic mustache) is a very accomplished vocalist in his own right. Check out "Above the Sky" from his band "Majestica".
Or the "Spaceballs" cover lol
Or even his one octave challenge of you raise me up
Check out his other project too "Memories of Old" they are fantastic.
What I'd like to see is a reaction to Tommy's 1 octave challenge version of "You raise me up"...The high notes are absolutely un-be-liev-able!!!
@@christiankasto5066 Agreed, that would be pretty awesome to see Elizabeth react to.
People have died from not even half the injuries this man got. He is truly the definition of "I refuse to die".
There are a lot of songs about history out there, but the sheer professionalism and volume of Sabaton and their teams work, makes it truly outstanding. Watching Sabatons history channel reignited my passion for learning about history, and the wars in it, and the way history has gone bc of it.
Did you noticed that in the beginning the music and singing begin exactly when the newspaper hits the desk? That's just perfection!
Your comment to the effect that Joakim's voice is just right for the subject matter of Sabaton's songs is a thought i've had as well. A great example in action is theirs song "82nd All the Way" which was covered by Amaranthe. The cover is actually very good and I mean them no disrespect, but there are a number of parts to the song where I think Joakim's voice just gives the song more emotional power.
I love both versions of 82nd All the Way. Amaranthes cover was my introduction to Sabaton (I have heard the name for years but never listened to their music before).
For me the perfect version of 82nd All the Way, would be Joakim doing the verses and Amaranthe doing the chorus,
This is a man who not only took various injuries, losing a hand, he kept fighting via raw determination, any medal he was awarded with, he never praised himself, he always said along the lines "This medal was not earn by me alone, it was the brave men I served with."
A badass and humbled.
the last chorus and the build up in the middle of it, Goosebumps every time. they prove time and time again why they are one of my absolute favourite band
I love that Indy Neidell is in the music video :) He is a great narrator. If you like to know more about ww2 for example, i would highly recommend watching their World War Two channel on RUclips. They even had some collabs and videos with Sabaton on the sabaton history channel. Both are very passionate about history!
Sir Adrian is also said to have been the "chosen champion of the Morrigan," the Celtic goddess of fate and war, due to being half Irish. They say that he actually died over and over from his wounds, but the blessing of the Morrigan brought him back to life every time to keep fighting.
Some of my favorite songs from Sabaton are "Soldier of Heaven," "Primo Victoria," "To Hell and Back," "Bismarck," and "The Last Stand." You should definitely listen to some of those!
Love that you are getting into Sabaton :) I highly recommend Bismarck next. Such an epic song and its pinnicle Sabaton imo. Sabaton couldn't kill Indy Neidell XD
I love that someone else here knows about Indy.
@@thunderbeard1617 pretty sure most Sabaton fans know Indy ;)
@@alexamerling79 I love indy, he looks like Bob odenkirk, both are really cool people
@@lordmilchreis1885 Agreed XD
Ohhh Bismarck is a good one! I hope she does Valley of Death, too!
Elizabeth, if you feel the baby during reacts to heavy metal songs, he's not kicking, he's headbanging, lol.
The thing I love most about this video is that it's just Sabaton vs Indy, and it's like they're the only people to fight him and they're just so bemused that he won't die. It's brilliant!
My favorite part of the video is that last part where he turns around and Joakim's like "Oh come on!" then they shoot him, then walk over to him and just start unloading into him.
Indy Neidell, who also played Lawrence of Arabia in the Seven Pillars of Wisdom video is also one of the three main hosts of the Timeghost History Channel, which is well worth checking out on RUclips. The great thing about Sabaton is that their songs aren't just bangers, they're an education.
Love Sabaton!!! Have seen them twice. Excited for the new album. Great job
A great song you should try is "Twilight of the Thunder God" by Amon Amarth. Great video as always, absolutely loved it.
Ooooor.... Sabaton's cover of it.
(Maybe that's what you meant.)
@@ziiofswe that cover destroys a great song.
@@jusatin *improves
AMORN AMARTH REACTION MJÖLNER HAMMER OF THOR.
@@ziiofswe Sabaton's cover of it is great, but, no, I meant the original Amon Amarth song
Thank you! Wonderful reaction yet again. Love your explanations
And he later wrote in a journal, "You know I quite enjoyed the war."
Sabaton and their associates are living their best lives. Looks like a ton of fun working with them.
I was just listening to this song yesterday - super looking forward to the analysis!
Dude just watched this after yt recommended it after watching some of their new music videos. Love your channel and am currently binge watching all your vids. Love your energy and how passionate you are about the music. Keep up the good work!
I have seen Sabaton 3 times live so far still love them such a good band and live performance :) this year gonna go again :D and hopefully many more times
There's something so beautiful about watching someone listen to Sabaton and really understand them and enjoy them. Been watching so many old videos and it's just so entertaining every time, I love getting so excited along with you.
And, Indy does such a great job in this video. It's obviously not a serious war documentary, but his slightly overdone patriotism and dedication to fight is just perfect for Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart.
While we're all suggesting Sabaton songs to review, I'll throw in "The Last Stand". I just find it inspirational.
Hi Elizabeth, even though this song will not become one of my favorites you're able to open my ears for so many aspects of this composition I would never realize if I didn't watch your great analysis video. I really appreciate your profound explanations. Kudos to you. It's not only fun watching - it's also learning to appreciate the little things of a composition that makes it great. Speaking of greatness, the video somehow looks like it's been recorded in a single take. And the mixing of the music track and your voice track matches also perfectly. Wow! It provides a real smooth listening experience. Your professional production stands out from the mass of other reaction/analysis videos. 💯👍👍🚀
How i waited for you to do this one 🥰
Very nice reaction.
You brought up things I didn’t even thought of.
Always nice to learn.
Thank you for that 😀
As someone who normally isnt the biggest fan of Sabaton, just moderately so, this album is really good! Probably the best musicality I've heard from them and there's memorable melodies as well.
I really enjoyed Soldier of Heaven by Sabaton. Fantastic video, amazing story. Very well done
Hello there, it is so great, that you react to so different music. I found your channel because of your home free reactions and now I watch this one and it. Your emotions are so strong and honest, Sabaton have a way to get the listener involved. The music really portraying the madness of this man and the whole situation. You are doing a great job. Did you ever here Tommy Johansson sing? He is Sabaton's guitarist. Please please check him out he is so talented. Listen to his cover of The phantom of the opera. He also has his own band Majestica formerly Reinxeed. Just amazing. Please please listen to him
If you wanted to check out one of IMO Sabaton's best performances, I'd check out En Livstid I Krig Live.
Oh my god, the drums in the pre-chorus are awesome. Just WOW. I've heard this song dozens if not hundreds of times, how did I notice that? God, this is easily up there in my top 5 or top 3 Sabaton songs. So freaking good. Great choice for a video, if I am a year late to the party!
I never knew I would see the day that Elizabeth is loving Sabaton! Awesome!
Speed metal with speed singing.
Love Sabaton. I really appreciate how they don't choose sides. Just make songs about the soldiers that fought, regardless of which side.
But, I can't help but be a bit more fond of Devil Dogs than the rest of their catalog.
Semper Fi.
Elizabeth Zharoff. Excellent video, you're awesome. Your beauty is incredible😍
Excellent song I really like this group. Awesome video as well.
Adrian Carton de Wiart, absolute mad lad
Lieutenant General Adrian Carton De Wiar truly was one of a kind. Madness only begins to describe his exploits.
He fought four wars. He was shot in the eye, and survived. When a doctor refused to amputate his fingers he pulled them off himself. In 1941 at the age of 61 he was taken as a Prisoner of War in Italy. He spent seven months digging a tunnel to escape. When he did, he remained undetected for eight days. This is impressive considering he was a 60 year old man, bloodied and bruised with scars, one eye and one hand. He also could not speak Italian. When he returned home he was a national hero and was knighted for his service to the military and his unwavering confidence. All he had to say about it was "Frankly, I enjoyed the war"
A true legend if ever there was one. Certainly one of, if not the most, remarkable men of the last two centuries
I really love listening to your analysis of songs and singers, and only found your channel lately. Now as a US service member I personally enjoy "Screaming Eagles", but I'm biased because I served with them. I'd love to see you do something from Volbeat. I've always loved there music as well like "Levithian".
Omg I laughed SO freaking hard the second I realized that was Indy Neidell. I didn't recognize him at first in the smaller screen. "Huh... that guy looks... wait... is that? NO!?!"
They really had fun with this video, very tongue-in-cheek. And the that poor nurse pulls off a frustrated guardian angel feel.
Sir Adrian: *EXISTS*
Death: "A'ight Ima head out."
You should totally cover their new "Sarajevo" and "Versailles"! I've watched a decent bit of your content and I think you'd get a kick out of them
I would recommend you reacting to "lightning crashes" by live, the singer has such a magnificent voice
More sabaton!! Love them there music is pure history
Indy Neidell, the desk-sitting actor in the first seconds of the video, is a youtube documentarian who along with a crack team, does historical documentaries on WW2 "in real time" as a weekly show right now. He previously also worked on the channel "the great war" which covered WW1 weekly in real time 100 years apart. I'd heartily recommend checking out their channel, Timeghost. right now, they're actively working on a series that contextualizes the war in Ukraine and the suffering Ukraine has been subjected to that outright challenges Putin's narrative. He's a personal hero of mine and having seen American media, it should be a fresh breath for anyone from overseas, not used to objective media that doesn't push an agenda.
They also have a Sabaton History channel where he dives into the subject matter of a broad swathe of Sabaton songs. I'd recommend that for even the casuallest of listeners. It really underlines the depth of this otherwise pop-metal sounding band. Some put in the sound, some put it in the material.
Edit: guess i just repeated what other people said more concicely,
On the last album, Sabaton wrapped things up with a song called _The End of the War to End All Wars_ . There's only a lyric video of that track, but the vocals and melody are still quite powerful. Really brings out the horror of the conflict, the PTSD its veterans had and the collective mourning of all Human Civilization over the losses and destruction. It would be worth checking out. 🤘
ruclips.net/video/oXnnbjC7Fok/видео.html
Woooo new album released today! That means my pre-ordered vinyl should be coming in soon!
Brilliant!!!
I really enjojed your face expressions when you are listening and watching, i can feel your exatc emotions!
You've done two of my top 3 favorite bands, with Unleash The Archers and Sabaton. Now you need to complete the trifecta with Ghost. "Year Zero" would be a good start.
Looks like I’m not the only one craving this - Ghost fans seeded throughout the comments haha
Already listened to the album, another awesome album from Sabaton
"All of Sabatos music is based on true stories, true historical events"
"Shadows" now got a whole new meaning. =P
Great Reaction, Great song and still love your dancing eyes
On the theme of war and conflict, please react to Jinjer's "Home Back" (OMV). Most of the band is trapped in Kyiv and we are hoping for the best.
Another wickedly cool person in war is sgt roy benavidez during the vietnam war who went into the jungle alone to rescue his friend and their little squad from a ambush from a NVA battalion of about 1,000. He fought them off with his heavily wounded fellows and himself received 37 separate wounds of different types like stab wounds, bullet wounds, and shrapnel wounds. He even loaded dead NVA soldiers onto the huey when they escaped. Oh and before all of that with his time in the US army (since during his “6 hours in hell” where he received those wounds, he was part of the green berets) he stepped on a land mine and was told he couldnt walk again but despite this he got up everynight and pulled himself up to walk go further each time for a year when he then WALKED out of the hospital to then train as hard as he could to get back into service. (Also he was full of tears and pain when pushing himself to walk during his hospitalization and he still had pain from the wounds afterwards and into his service with the green berets).
I love Sabaton.
I only just discovered Sabaton a couple weeks ago myself.
Bismark and Lady of the Dark are my favourites so far.
It was so amaizng to see Indy in this video after follwing him with the Great War channel since 2014!
I love how you were originally on the fence about Sabaton and now you are a die hard fan.
When i see that nurse for the first time i see it always like a divine thing, she puts her hand on him and he just keeps going and going and going energizer bunny is jealous :)
Just bought the new album and it is awesome.
I love this channel; I love Elizabeth's facial expressions during the videos. I would love for her to watch a video for Whitesnake " Is This Love" David Coverdale is amazing on this song. Also check out a band called Make Them Suffer Songs Ether and Uncharted or Twelve Foot Ninja's song IDK or Gone all of them are awesome.
Love the guys harmonies
You certainly need to listen to En Livstid I Krig live in Gothenburg. They use their native language and the atmosphere's just on another level.
P.S Great video! Love your reactions
i just watched ur Nightwish reaction where you wet your feet with metal music. Now I watch this with you promoting Sabaton. This is hilarious
Indy Neidell also hosts the Great War Channel and the World War Two Channel as well as some others. He is living in Sweden so that is where they connected.
Was just scrolling through my twitter when I saw that someone had put a short to Chris Isaak's Wicked Game and I though. Hmmm... I think she would LOVE what he does with his voice. Didn't see it when I searched your video's, but it is possible I missed it. So writing this down here before I forget... Chris Isaak "Wicked Game"
Incredible what this guy survived, he was without a doubt a bit of a madman, loving war, and forcing himself in line of shot over and over again, but that doest make hes story less incredible!!
The song itself, if you dont fancy it at first listen, give it a few listens, its a grower, it also was for me, first time i listened i thought, arrhh its a medium good song for the Sabaton catalog, but yeah, it did raise a bit in that ranking listening a few more times..
Adrian Carton de Wiart - that man the indestructible man lived in Poland until the outbreak of WWI and wrote a book about his experiences "Happy Odyssey".
SABATON IS SO DAMN AWESOME. THEY LOVE WHAT THEY DO. A CROWD PLEASING BAND. THEY PUT IN 1,000,000 PERCENT.
Looking forward to this. I would recommend the following tracks and bands to listen to are Led Zeppelin, Kashmir, Jon & Vangellis, Friends of Mr Cairo, and two of early Marillion, a script for a jesters tear and bitter suite: Brief encounter.
Love watching your reactions!!!! Idk if anyone has ever suggested this, but Deadly Sinners by 3 Inches of Blood is a good one.
I'm surprised that you haven't yet analysed another great Swedish band: Ghost. Hard to pick a song tho as it is an act that reinvent and develop with each new album.
HA, beat me to it.
I would love to see a reaction to Ghost, but it is indeed hard to pick a single song as they have a continuing story with each performance
I thought that band was a parody.
@@scottmichaels1764 They are pretty firmly tongue in cheek when it comes to the Satanic church business but the music itself is legit
I also like the music set up for this song. It’s one that grew on me, but during the chorus the guitar riff during the “at the edge of madness” it’s very frantic and gives that extra feel to the music that backs up the lyrics really well. And it also goes well to imparting both the emotion of frantic bravery/recklessness (because let’s face it de wheirt was quite reckless, but my god is his story just insane, probably even more so than Teddy Roosevelt) of the man
The video undersells him actually. Since he was involved not just in the Boer War, WWI and WWII but also in all of Poland's wars between WWI and WWII. And there were several. Lithuania, Russia and I believe Romania.
Also survived 5(!) plane crashes. Two in Poland in 1919 (one of which led to time as a POW -- by Lituania), One in Norway in WWII , One on the way to Yugoslavia (which led to two years as a POW of the Italians) and the final one in 1947 in China.
And the one on the way to Yugoslavia he saved the life of another passenger. Had to swim to shore and he pulled another passenger with him. One handed. Aged 61.
Also, that bit about pulling grenade pins with his teeth actually happened.
SABATON, FINALLY
it would be cool to see you react to sabaton history!
I would love to see you react to Tommy Johannson's (a guitarist from Sabaton) cover of "You Raise Me Up" (1 octave challenge). The guy has an amazing vocal capabilities :)
This album is SO GOOD
Amazing video as always, also going to go watch your interview with Joakim video right after this.
Also check out Dreadnought, the way Joakim plays with his voice will amaze you! It is really reminiscent of Civil War/System of a Down
Is it just me or does he sing in an Irish Accent
No, it's a swedish accent, kinda smoothed out in his singing voice. It's more obvious when he (or the other band members) are talking.
Interrupted my 4th listen of the new album to watch this. The War to End All Wars is an absolute killer album
I said it in a comment on Tank the Tech's channel: each time that nurse popped up, seeing his smile and reaction to seeing her, feeling her touch, I just fully expected Yakko, Wakko, and Dot to pop out and exclaim "Hello! Nurse!" If the actor's portrayal is actually accurate (need to research myself on this one), then, seriously: I expected him to at least mouth at some point that he just got hurt 'cause he missed seeing her--whatever her name was (no disrespect, but have not found it on Google).
Would love to see a reaction to The Black Dahlia Murder. Trevor’s vocals are insane. “What a Horrible a Night to Have a Curse” would be a great example.
