GOD GAVE ROCK AND ROLL TO YOU - Tommy J (Thank you Sabaton)

- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2024
- After seven glorious years together I decided to step down as the guitarist of Sabaton.
Main reason beeing that I need to follow my heart and put my main focus on my own career both as a solo artist and with my band Majestica that I was a part of from the beginning in 2002.
The guys in Sabaton are my brother, my friends, my family and the crew is the best people in the world that I’ve had the honor of working and living with.
Nothing bad has come out of this and I have enjoyed every minute of being a part of Sabaton.
I’m gonna miss waking up in the morning on the tour bus to a coffee prepared by Hannes before we work out together, gonna miss all the Walmart strolls and the late movie nights with Chris, I’m gonna miss having a beer with Pär and playing video games with him, and I’m gonna miss playing piano and singing harmonies with Joakim! ❤️
But this is not the end - it’s the beginning of a new chapter and I couldn’t be happier to know that Thobbe is back in the band playing the ”Bismarck” solo every night! ❤️💪
So guys - this one is for you!!

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure
You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for
You don't have money or a fancy car
And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone (oh yeah)
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
Now listen
If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far
Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don't start livin' 'till you realize
I gotta tell ya
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you (to everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you, saved rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you put it in the soul

Don't cry because it is over. Smile because it happened.
Good words! 😊👍
Some people are naturally blessed with the knack of saying just the right thing. Your words of wisdom definitely "hit the nail on its head."
Thank you for this saying. It made me smile
God gave Tommy J to us! 🎸🔊
Tommy is a God of metal 🤘
@@urosleijona not really
Agree
Yes Tommy is a God here
i agree. well you've probably heard my story already so i KNOW He gave tommy to us
Omg! I feel like crying! Such a beautiful thanks to the guys from Sabaton. Tommy we’re gonna miss you in the band! But we’re gonna support you as part of Majestica and as Tommy solo! All the best!
Oh . Tommy is leaving Sabaton !?hard to leave a big audience for a smaller one but i think he needs to sing live more ? he has the gift of melody and Sabaton has the marching gift.
Yes Tommy left Sabaton to go his own way. But he will always be a part of Sabaton
However, the Majestic line-up remains in full line-up. He too is only human (albeit a musical GOD) and has a lot on his plate.🤘🤩💣💥
@@mM-gl1rp Ofc he has! But he ask has the best job in the world! He does what the loves for living! I am a little bit jealous. lol
@@addhoc256he stayed until a new guitarist worthy of the spot arrived🎸💣💥
I do hope that people reflet on the manner of how you guys now continue your journeys on separate paths. No ill will. No drama. Just a bunch of people being respectfull and understanding of each other. The world needs more of that so you are setting a very good example. Thank you for that. 🙏
Agreed. Absolutely class acts all the way around!!
Well said. 👍
Agreed! ❤️🤘❤️
Hear, hear!
A beautiful, respectful farewell from Tommy to what looks like years of fun with Sabaton.
So what happened that Tommy is not with Sabaton anymore?
@@cobblehillsfighter He has left to pursue his solo career and that of Majestica.
VA I Helvete ska han SLUTA I SABATON?😢
@@hangemhigh7069 He already has. Yes, sad. Difficult but logical decision. No doubt that he has many great achievements yet to come
Grandma from Finland sends hugs to Tommy and all his fans❤
Grandpa from UK sends a big hug right back to Finland
Big hugs to Grandma from Finland!
Thanks, Grans! Love from Israel!🇮🇱❤️
Big Love friom Switzerland!!
Native American Grandma sends hugs to all!
I can't listen to this song without thinking of Bill and Ted. "Excellent" 🤘🤘
Tommy will always be my favourite Sabaton guitarist, his solos are so melodic i love them
That's how i discovered Sabaton. Those solos are the best.
What a beautiful tribute to the family you are leaving!!! ❤ I can't imagine how hard it was to make that choice. But God gave you everything you are and every talent you have and there are many. He wants you to become the man He meant for you to be. Bless you, Tommy J. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It was hard to not cry a little bit 😢 we will miss you so much in Sabaton! But I am also glad for you. Tommy, you are really the best 💥🎸🎶🎤❣️
Be Excellent to Each Other!!!!
Life gave Tommy Johanson to everyone! And a wonderful gift, that is!
Thank you Tommy. I hope your future is bright. And remember you wil ALWAYS be a part of the Sabaton Army! Salute!
If in the future we don't see a tour of Sabaton and Majestica (or whatever project Tommy is working on) together, I'll be very disappointed. That's a show I *need* to see.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've been to the past. We've been to the future."
"We've been all around the afterlife."
"And you know... Ted?"
"The best place to be - is here."
"The best time to be - is now. And all we can say is..."
"LET'S ROCK!"
Tack för din tid i Sabaton! Ser fram emot att se vad du har att ge oss framöver! ❤️🤘🏻
Tommy, you're part of Rock 'n' Roll history forever. One day, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will be yours !🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤❤❤❤
As a Sabaton fan, I just have to say thank you! Thank you for all the good days. May happiness and love be with you in the future!
Tommy is a musical wonder. Tommy was the best that has ever happened to Sabaton. God bless you.
Thank you Tommy. You are very inspiring . Me and my family love you. Greeting from Indonesia.
Why am I crying? This was a beautiful tribute to Sabaton! Tommy & Chris shenanigans always had me in in fits of laughter! Aw love you guys! ❤️
No disrespect or so, but Chris and Thobbe shenanigans was always better. For example Thobbe was first with the Swedish Pagans thing
Dont get me wrong Tommy is great he is very talented, and a good performer, but i feel Thobbe is a better fit for Sabaton
However, this is very beautiful and such a good gesture to the guys in Sabaton
It was nice to have Tommy, but im glad Thobbe is back
Also cant wait to see what Tommy does next🤘
I’m sure Sabaton are going to miss Tommy because he’s the greatest guitarist i ever saw and of course a great singer we love Tommy 🤟🤟🤟♥️♥️♥️
Loved this. All the best, Tommy. Miss you with the boys but love seeing what you’re doing here. 🤘🏻🙏🏻
Love you, bro! Hugs from Brazil!
I have just discovered Tommy and he´s already and always will be my favorite singer for many reasons. THANKS !!!!
Sabaton is the most amazing thing what ever could happened in music history. Tommy! Wish you good luck and all your dreams come true ❤
Brilliant performance of a great song and also amazing video to go alongside it.
One of the greatest songs of all time from one of the greatest bands of all time. Thank you my friend for performing it with respect and a subtle but beautiful way of making it your own.
Tommy J you are my inspiration
I've only been a fan for a few months. I'm obsessed. I cried like a baby and I don't want you to stop in Sabaton, I want you to do your new thing, I want you to do your all. Wish the day had double the hours. I wish I had been there to watch you when you were in our city in our beloved Sweden, but then I didn't even know who you or Sabaton were. It was my then less than 14 year old daughter who wanted to go. From one who could be your mother and wishes you to cover everyone around for all decades
Awesome!!
Can't watch this video anymore. Miss Tommy in Sabaton too much 😢
Your family Sabaton 🤘🫂🙌🙌🙌🙌 Good Luck Tommy ❤🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
And now I'm crying.....😔💖💖💖
It's very kind of you to dedicate this to Sabaton.❤ You own those guys a lot! They are really great!
I dont think he owes them anything. He did his part as a pro, as a friend and thats it. However i do agree that its a really nice gesture from Tommy to recognize the source of his fame :) (unless u actually meant own as in own :D)
The world needs you. All the best.
I absolutely cried this morning over the video to this song. Didn't know how much I missed him in Sabaton. Have really been enjoying his singing on his own but really miss the comraderie between the guys.
I tried, I really tried but couldn't. I cried while listening to your cover and had goosebumps all over my body. 😪What a loving tribute to your Sabaton family. You have created a true monument to them with this video. Not to mention that you breathed new life into the Kiss song. It's just incredible. I really wish you all the best in your future journey as an artist. You deserve it SO much😍 I love you like my own son.
Argent song, they made the original
Argent wrote it and did it first.
The best, and longest played cover of God Gave Rock and Roll to You, is by Petra, Greg V Volz was the vocalist, his version is the best of anyone, Petra continued this legendary cover with vocalist John Schlitt (formerly of Head East), still beloved song from by many fans (Petra has been a band 52 years).
KISS did a cover of it. Don't hear it anymore anywhere.
Tommy did great with this cover, sweet tribute to his Sabaton brothers.
Greg X Volz did it best.
@@DaP84: yes, but this version is called "God gave Rock and roll to you" II. It's from the movie "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey". And if you Listen to the lyrics: It's quite different from the original song and composer Russ Ballard. But Tommy already wrote this in his comment.
❤
I know, but I still like the kiss version as a tribute to the late drummer
It was difficult for me to watch this tribute, I got very attached to Sabaton with you. What a great tribute, success Tommy and success to Sabaton, you are examples that a separation does not mean i enmities
Friday night is here 🎉 Long live Rock n Roll ❤❤ and Tommy J
I loved Tommy in Sabaton! May Tommy and Sabaton continue to have many more glorious days!☺
As a fan, I support Tommy's solo and Majestica activities!😊❣
....SIMPLY AMAZING.... AND THANK GOD FOR GIVING US ROCK'N'ROLL !!! 🤩🤩🤩
Then.. Now.. Forever.. Always
Thank You Tommy for the memories, we all hope you the best.
*lifts up lighter*
... and I´m sad that I´ll never see you with Sabaton live... but with Majestica, I hope!!! Alliance forever!
Same here, will never be able to see him live with Sabaton 😢 but have seen him with Majestica and will again.
Same here. I'm SO sad and I'm jealous of everyone who has had the honour of seeing him with them ❤
You can't imagine the joy you bring us talented and happy boy, I love you for that Tommy 😊😉👏🎸💯 This song and the tribute you paid to your brothers, whom you consider your second family, were beautiful.❤️😀
Great tribute video, a good way to start the weekend. Energetic weekend to everyone.
May your new journey takes you to the stars and beyond!
I’m wide awake and waiting! Who needs much sleep? It’s a Tommy Friday!! 🎉
I'm in this video and it made me cry.
Thank you Tommy for all you shared with Sabaton, I'm eager to see what you'll become in the future (if you ever can be better than now, cuz you're perfect !).
I was there in Paris, 2023 April 21st, and what a show, what a play !
I knew you from before with Majestica and ReinXeed, but never had the luck to see you on stage for real !
Godspeed on your path, I'll be following you on every week as always !
Flyom, a french fan.
Tommy, I first found you here on RUclips, so I got to know Sabaton through you. I feel you have been a great member of Sabaton. You played the guitar, when needed you played the piano, and when needed you sang instead of Joakim. Not everyone can do this. You are such a very talented musician. You can be a complete rockband by yourself. Thanks to your musical education, you can play or sing anything at any time. And you prove this here on RUclips every week.
I'm glad I got to know you, of course (or unfortunately) not in person. I wish you good health and success in your future work/projekt or plans.
Please don't stop the Friday videos because I'll always be here waiting.... together with the 230,000 Subscribers. 💯+💯+30
Thank you Tommy! 🙏🙏🙏
Such a fitting song to your brothers in Sabaton 🥹❤
Helt klart en utav de bästa covers du har gjort Tommy!! Skrivet av en 12åring i Kalmar.
Tommy, beautiful guitar, beautiful pearl inlays. ROCK ON!❤ ✌️♥️😊🌻🙏
and thank you to Tommy for making one of the best bands in the world even better.
God gave you to Sabaton, loved so much to have you there. But now its time for other goals. Can't wait to hear and see more of you ❤🤘🤘❤

I have tears in my eyes...
Thank you for those seven years and I keep my fingers crossed for you!
And It's pretty nice that on the video we can see Gold award for sales over 10 000 units in Poland.
Thank you for all you have given to Sabaton over the years Tommy and here is to many more performing with Majestica and on your own. Plus....I am sure you could always dust off the camo pants again for special occasions like Thobbe, Dan and Dan have done in the past :). Again best wishes for the future and thank you, from all your fans in the United Kingdom
What else could I say?! Thank you, Tommy!
I wish all the best to you!!!
Didnt think I would cry during my lunchbreak but here we are, what an amazing tribute❤
One journey ends and a new one begins, cant wait to see what the future holds for you!
Tommy, my partner Lorraine and I saw you with Sabaton last year in Cardiff. Lorraine said it was probably the best concert she has ever seen.....as she has been to a lot. We will miss you in Sabaton, but wish you absolutely all the best solo and with Majestica.
Tommy, what a great tribute to your boys in Sabaton, your a class act!! Thank u for the time with them, and what the future holds for u and your new music!

I just feel crying.... Sabaton not the same without Tommy....very inspiring, very beautiful voice.thank you tommy.you stand amazing in every single way.
Felt this about Thobbe leaving
Very beautiful and moving tribute to your brothers in Sabaton. Sad to see an end of one journey, but also very excited for the one that's starting now. Thank you for everything you gave Sabaton Tommy and all the best for your future. Looking forward to what's coming next 🤘🔥
This is going to be an outstanding song, I'm already convinced of that. A Kiss anthem, I love it.🤩🤩 tommy, what a moving intro for your "sabaton-family"
This is gorgeous and so bittersweet. It's a heartfelt tribute to your fellow Sabaton members. All the amazing things you've done together! Bravo Tommy! I know things are going to be amazing for you with your solo and Majestica careers!
I first heard this song recorded by the classic Christian rock band Petra on the Beat the System album some near 40 years ago. It was a KILLER riff way back then, an INSTANT CLASSIC jam that stands the test of time. Tommy's version here just has so much more soul and emotion and overall LOVE just oozing out from every note. With Tommy's involvement with several other Christian Metal bands, namely Reinxeed, DivineFire, and a few others, this makes such PERFECT sense to me. His glorious riffage at the start of this cover is just the auditory kick in the ears I needed on this FRI-YAY!!!! Thank you Maestro Johansson!
Glad to finally see someone in the comments mention Petra, which is the first band I heard perform the song. 🙏😊
ruclips.net/video/Q9OYfCRXC5k/видео.htmlsi=8pwovXZi7uuuAx0I
🤗🤩 Ojoj..vilka minnen man får av låten...❤️❤️
Den där gitarren!?!?!? Otroligt vacker! Och låten blev helt plötsligt intressant nu när Du gjorde den 🇸🇪👑🙏🏻❤️
For this reason and for everything that goodbyes are the most difficult moments in our lives.
Tommy, you can bring laughter and tears.
You are unique.
Skvělý, díky 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Chris's look at the end said it all. 😢
Tommy Johansson, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
Wow wow wow Tommy!!!!
What a great tribute to as you said your second family. I m sure that Sabaton gonna miss you and you gonna miss Sabaton.
Вот за что я обожаю этого парня, так это за всегда очешуенную и хорошую музыку. А кадры с Броденом и компанией не раз заставили улыбнуться:)
Хэви-метал, пацаны🤘
Tommy, that was a very moving tribute to Sabaton. Heartfelt thanks to you. Friday nights are full of anticipation for your videos. Tonight, you’ve brightened up a very soggy Sydney, as it’s rained all day and will hopefully ease tomorrow.
This was a great tribute, have a great time in Budapest!!!🎸❤
Why were my eyes wet during the premiere? Tommy, you're a class act. I'll miss you on that stage, but wish you nothing but the best in your other ventures. And Sabaton is in the safest of hands.
I am a little sad that this era has to end. But I will follow you anywhere 😘🤗
Greatest intro.
I was lucky enough to see Tommy perform live with Sabaton twice. He's always been my favorite member of the band, and I'm glad I got to see him play. Keep rocking Tommy!
It was a decision of your heart that you had to follow. All the best for your future, I´m looking forward to all the music that you´ll create and hope to see you soon live!!! 🥰🤘❤🔥💖
Omg this is so nice and cute😖😭
I love this cover Tommy you did fantastic job such a great memories!❤️🤘🏻🙏🏻
That was a beautiful tribute Tommy 🥰. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us
