My history teacher played us this song when we were talking about the WWII and that's how I fell in love with them. The best teacher ever, he still does that, and it's awesome. It's not only teaching but also showing students great music. Here in Poland we talk a lot about both Wars and this is very hard topic, but with something like a song it's a bit easier to remember things and understand it.
Grateful for this and your teacher! Memory can fade away that's why we can use certain tools like music in a classroom to better understand things that can be somewhat boring!! A bunch of my coworkers have a hard time with this. Oh well, you can't win them all. I used to play the song Stalingrad from Sabaton when I talked about that battle. I realy like it's mood and hardness! Another wretched moment in human history but a very important part of WWII. The history of Poland in WWII is one of the great tragedies of the last century. Never Forget. Do widzenia
As an example of how willing they are to go the extra mile: when they were building up to The Great War, they reached out to a Russian artist known as Radio Tapok or something like that and said "hey, we've got this song coming out about Russia in WWI. You wanna cover it in Russian and release it before we do?" And he did, and it was awesome. So naturally, when they played in Russia, they invited him onstage and played with him. Pretty epic.
IIRC, Radio Tapok had been producing Russian covers of their songs for a while back then. So ist wasn't just some coincidence they went with him. What I like best about this, is that it kinda shows how bands could use other artists, who cover their songs, to tap into new markets instead of copyright-striking them over and over again.
They gave him "Attack of the dead man" before it was released so he can do a cover of it and release it before they do. And later he returned the favor by giving them rights to do the Defense of Moscow which was originally his song
@@TankTheTech they have another song about Poland that they performed at that Woodstock event. Its called uprising, about the Warsaw uprising during ww2, the crowd gets even more into that one.
I was at that Woodstock concert, under that flag. I didn't see, I didn't care :) One of the most patriotic memories I have. One of the best memories I have. It makes me tear up everytime I am reminded of this experience :D
As I said in the live chat, Tank is the hero we need but don't deserve! Who else is gonna give you a double reaction when they realize the song was much bigger than at first glance? Only Tank!
I was married to a Polish woman, metal head as well, but new to Sabaton, when I introduce them to her weeks before a concert of them near us, she really got to love them and their music ("Uprising" is another song about the Polish during WWII). The day of the concert, before it, I surprised her with a Meet and Greet with the band where she could thank them for what theyve done with their music and for honouring her country. Then, during the concert, we were close to the stage and Joakim got to see her (not hard task to track a polish woman in a latinamerican crowd) in the crowd during this song and waved at her during one of the chorus. She got really happy and still does when she remembers it.
Damn! What a treat. All doubles this round... Two stages, two tanks on stage, double Tank reaction... Man, this band is so awesome and energetic live. But I'm wondering how they keep the two stages in synch like that?!?!? Must've been a lot of practice hours... Oh and did you know Hanne... never mind 🤣🤣🤣
I had the luck to be there in Wacken. The crowd was massive. Waited there for about 2h before the concert and still just got a place about 100m away from the stage . It was said there'd been about 100k people in the audience. The sound was so massive that you could understand the lyrics 1km away from the stage and miles away you still heard the bass.
Just noticed that as he sings the lyric "The captain has pledged his life" Joakim drops an invisible grenade 14:24. The little details are why I love this band!
⭐Hey Tank. This was HUGE! and to top it off btw the 1st & 2nd songs my Dad rang me, so the video paused. Born 1930, now 90!, he's a huge WW2 geek. I told him about your video. He was so blown away. Knew of the story of course, but didn't realise that the numbers were 40:1. I'll try to send him the video. Just epic reaction. I think, besides me, there were lots of viewers crying. It's so moving. SABATON ROCKS. Thanks for the double treat Tank.👍🤗💖
I saw that Sabaton posted your reaction video to A Lifetime of War(Swedish Version) the other day. I might have suggested that it would be great idea if they hired you to be on their crew for a North American tour. It would make me a happy fan all the way around. You are amazing Tank
Sabaton's performance of Uprising at Woodstock is equally as epic. The song is about the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, and the crowd goes just as nuts. Definitely recommend.
Back in 2006, Sabaton played their first sold out headline show outside Sweden in Duisburg, Germany. There were 150 people there and I'm proud to be one of them. ;) Also so proud of what the guys have achieved since then! Please also do more Sabaton, they have lots of epic stuff!
"Swedish Pagans" with Cellist Tina Guo from the same Wacken Set is also amazing. A realy fun song for Woodstock would be "Butterfly Defect" by Kontrust.
I'm sorry glad you decided to do the double reaction dude. That was so epic and respect to Poland and their rightful pride in such an epic historic moment
@@PeTTs0n88 if memory serves me right Audie and Walther are correct Audie for Audie Murphy, the most decorated american soldier of WW2 (Song would be "To Hell and Back") Walther for Walther Wenck, ther german general that didnt followed Hitlers orders in 1945 and instead saved civilians from Berlin and the 9th army form the advancing soviet forces (Song would be "Hearts of Iron")
Yes, you gotta react to Uprising live at Woodstock Poland too... In fact, you should make it a double feature and also watch Uprising live in Warsaw (Great Tour). The crowd in both versions is f*cking INSANE!
Yes they do have more than a 100 in the touring party. A physio-therapist that looks after not just the band members but also everyone else in the crew. They also have their own catering crew traveling with them so they get the food they are used to, any time they want. According to Sabaton's Great Tour 2020 vlogs it takes about 4 hours to set everything up on stage, and you need to have a lot of people to get it done in that time. Start rigging at 8am, everything up and ready for first soundcheck around 12.30-1pm. Tank - While it probably would be very interesting for you to have a look at the 2020 vlogs (lots of pre-show, backstage footage and band members goofing around in general) you can not do that. There is at least one or more song mixed in as background music in every episode and you have not reacted to them yet. I'm sorry to be the one to give you bad news like this but that's the way it is. Cheers / B.
The "Great War Choir" are members of Czech Academic choir, they first sung with Sabaton in may 2019 in Pilsen, which was the biggest Sabaton-headlined concert(excluding festivals obviously) to date. I don't think any of them served, but they are wearing various WW1 uniforms.
Great to see them all together., they sing well together as well My favorite version of this song is live at Woostock. Poland loves Sabaton and this performance is probably one of the best I've seen ever from any band. Period.
oooúúú ! I had a birthday yesterday ! :DD niceee , thank u a lot Tank :)) in 2012 in Pilsen. Czech Republic on Metalfest firstime heard this song - insta goosebumps
@TankTheTech, there is a Sabaton song about a WWI US Army Sgt. Alvin York, who was from Tennessee. The song is called '82nd all the way'. Check it out.
Another excellent reaction ... and thank you for making me aware of Sabaton (your Bismark reaction). From the same concert I would highly recommend their "non-set list" song ooo-OOO-ooo Swedish Pagans with guest Tina Guo
It's absolutely fantastic that you did this back to back reaction to these 2 great performances of this fantastic song. All the thumbs up one can give. People covered by the flag don't care and go even harder
@TankTheTech I have never heard of Sabaton either and after listening and seen the reaction you did for Bismarck and 40:1, DUDE !!! I'm soooooo hooked and I blame you, lmfao. Keep up the good work.
Oh, every time I see them, I like them more. Awesome band, amazing music, unbelievable production, and about this last part, some people never notice until someone point all the stuff you know. Thank you for that. For everything, I'ms so happy watching you and Chase, and Julia. Maybe I've watch every single reaction channel in RUclips, but definitely, Chase and you, along with Julia and some others (just a few, really), are another kind, not only for your true reactions, but for that extra that your intelligence, knowledge and experience can give. Those advantages make you Top notch channels. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
A couple things I wanted to say: 1) Did you realize that you were headbanging so hard your camera was shaking? You missed how the Polish flag suddenly looked like it was boiling when the chorus started. 2) Love that you went to the Sabaton History for the song after reacting. My favorite part of that video is the comment about not being able to leave the country alive without playing 40:1 when they tour in Poland.
Amazing reaction, brings back memories to the Wacken gig, probably the best gig I've been at, well worth the massive sunburn I got on my head from spending the whole day at the front barrier😀😀😀
Loving your reactions, it's great to see such a unique perspective on some of my favourite bands performances. Sabaton in particular, I'm not even ashamed to admit they make me cry. First time I heard Price of a Mile I sobbed.
I was lucky enough to see these guys live a few years ago - what amazed me now and back then was even in the smaller venues like the one I was at, they actually seemed to be able to take into account how the music would echo back from the walls and adjust their soundmix appropriately, it took the music up to a whole extra level for me - but I would still love to be able to get to see them at a festival! - what I also loved was not only was their music on point when I saw them, but they were genuinely enjoying themselves and just having a good time up on stage :)
Huge in every way. What a band. No better way to get people interested in military history. Sabaton is a gift to the world. Poland rocks. Nationalism for the win!
Sabaton has been growing fast the last years and their production has just gotten bigger every time I see them. They just become more fun each time I see them live. Imo, they're one of the best live bands around currently. The old Sabaton members that played the on other Wacken stage all play in the same band; Civil War, which is very similar to Sabaton, except they're not as big yet :P I recommend checking out Swedish Pagans next, it's the one hymn that everyone starts singing between every song, even the band. They also had Tina Guo playing cello during that song at Wacken.
that concert in Gdansk was amazing. The Archbishop gifted them a sword from the treasury of the church of Poland. Like it's my first time hearing something like that.
The plan was for Poland to hold Germany for two weeks; France would invade Germany from the west, followed by Britain. France and Britain wussed out. Poland held for FOUR weeks even after the Soviets invaded on Sept. 17th.
Live the reaction, love the song, love the crowd! Ithink Sabaton might be the only band that can play 40:1 in Poland and then play Ghost Division about Romel and the german tanks division.. and the crowd loves Sabaton music even if it is about old enemies.. thats so cool
You are very entertaining. 🤘 and a new Sabaton fan is born I think😂👍 I was also part of the Wacken Open Air 2019. But you can not compare the crowd to Woodstock. 🥳
If you haven't already seen uprising live @ Woodstock it's rly worth a look. A song about the Warsaw uprising during ww2 performed in Warsaw in front of a few 100k crazy polish fans
We've been lucky where we live and have seen Sabaton live 4-5 times now in the last 7ish years, even on the smallest of stages, their show is still hands down one of the most energetic and fun things I've ever been too!
To Hell and Back is amazing and I think they have a live video at Wacken 2015 of it. It's about Audi Murphey. Side note* Your reactions are awesome and I learn something new from your videos everytime 😃
Hey man, I absolutely LOVE your reaction vids to Sabaton,they are quite a big deal here in Germany,too. I guess if you're singing about Polish Resistance and Nazi crimes in some of your songs and German audience STILL (or even because of that ;) ) ,you're doing something right! SOme more suggestions from me,I think that don't get enough love in reactions,mostly. These would be "Hearts of Iron", "Winged Hussars", "The Red Baron" live from the great tour in Berlin(including a hammond organ,looking like a Fokker airplane" and maybe "Gallipoli" . Thanks four your time and energy for this channel,and welcome to the awesome world of Sabaton!
17th September 1939 the odds against the Poles became closer to 50:1 when the USSR invaded from the east! Hammer and Anvil! Congrats on the Sabaton plug!
One more epic song from same Woodstock is uprising song. Another cool production is live from London song about Osowiec fortress. Big thank you for what you are doing
I think this was the show where after that song was over, the crowd spontaneously started singing the Polish national anthem. The video cuts off right before they start.
Real talk, if I were able to be at that show, I probably would've been ugly crying while headbanging during this song too lmao. I got into Sabaton around 2008-2009 when my brother showed me the album The Art of War and fell in love with the band. I've since seen them 8 times since their first US tour when they were still a 6 piece. One hell of a special moment right here! 🤘
Great video, both videos are great, so it's a well deserved double reaction. If I'm not mistaken, the singer Joakin is of both swedish (of course) and polish families, so he surely relates to the pride the polish people must feel listening to it.
The song that got me into Sabaton, to this day just amazing listening to it everytime. I love Sabaton and their productions. Saw them twice, one time a few years ago in Glasgow(Scotland) in a small/medium club and earlier this year(when shows were still a thing) in Oberhausen(Germany) in a big Arena. Both shows were absolutely amazing and I recommend to everyone to go see Sabaton whenever it's possible.
You really, REALLY want to watch "Uprising" live at Woodstock 2012 (it's the official live available at Nuclear Blast Records channel). I was in that crowd and damn, even after 8 years I'm still getting chills. But that song also requires research - Sabaton History has a very basic overview of what happened, and it's worth watching before you sit down to do the reaction.
Hey man, awesome stuff, polish speking here xD great to know that polish history has got some attention, "uprising" is also about Poland so would be great if you would check this one out too 😉 keep up the great work that you do
Considering you mention history classes, if you have any interest in the history behind the events that inspired Sabaton's songs, and are interested in hearing a couple of anecdotes from the band themselves about writing or playing the songs in question, I highly suggest checking out the Sabaton History channel, assuming you haven't done so already. I'm not sure if it would be something to react to, necessarily, but they put together the story behind the songs in a condensed and interesting manner, and some of the band anecdotes are funny, inspiring, or just plain fun to hear. EDIT: Just got to the 'second half', looks like you have looked into them! Great!
I remember my first song from Sabaton. Panzerkampf. A friend of mine showed them to me shortly before the release of Carolus Rex. Been my favorite band ever since. My favorite song from them is and will always be "Hearts of Iron". Shiroyama and Last Stand are close seconds. But the song above all that gets me and my friends pumped, is Swedish Pagans. I have wrecked my voice more than once singing along to it, both at their concert and at home with friends.
That's why i love this band and is still my favorite band of all time for me , they spara no expense to make it a good show for us and I mean WHOLE crew of sabaton 🤘. a fan should always give a band the best crowd experience as possible (what i think )and also pay the respect and thank the bands crew if you see them🤘🤟
No Tank, THANK YOU for your reactions! Its really awesome to hear you talk about the bands gear and to read the fact notes that pops up. Love it! And I got another double reaction you could do. Both Amon Amarth and Sabaton have done a song called Twilight of the Thunder God. Would be nice to see a comparison between them, if you could find any videos of the song. Thanks for doing what you do!
So glad you did both videos, I think both deserve reactions for different reasons - and you don't get the very same thing twice :) Like the second T-shirt too
I love your reaction to Wacken. Europe has great metal festivals. Wacken, Hellfest, Graspop, Download, Bloodstock, Summer Breeze. Where are you from? And have you ever been on one of those festivals? Two other legendary performances on Wacken: - Demons & Wizards - 2 songs - live Wacken Open Air 2019 (supergroup vocal Blind Guardian/ guitar Iced earth) - Dee Snider (ftd. by Rock Meets Classic) - We're not Gonna Take It - Live at Wacken Open Air 2015
Haven’t been to any of those. I’m in the US, and I’ve been to some of the bigger festivals here, but nothing compares to the open air festivals in Europe.
It took a while to warm to Sabaton because of their subject matter, but they're so catchy I love them now. Bonus learning stuff I would never have thought to look up myself.
13:57 some would say like Dak, in the snowspeeder. Careful though, some would say that the feeling of invincibility did >not< help him bring down the whole empire by himself.
Two things: 1 I am super jealous of that Sabaton shirt. 2 Sabaton loves their fans. They have never missed a show. Once they played even when Joakim was sick and had no voice. Guitarists were ... umm... doing their best singing the lyrics and Joakim was there lifting spirits without a microphone.
For the production quality (or overproducion I should say) you should check "SABATON - Great War (Official Music Video)". Its a mix of live stage shots and behind the stage clips with album audio. The amount of gear you will see there .... countless. This is NUTS. Regarding the Sabaton live show you should definatelly check one of them. And for the full experience you should do that in Poland ;) PS. Amon Amart Intro and In Flames Outro. I love it !
love the double react!!!! i might have a fun one for a triple react... sort off... 82nd all the way - preformed by sabaton, amaranthe, and then them together live in oslo. food for thought? (p.s. in both amaranthe and live version you'll see gear, the original from sabaton is a lyric video with cool graphics) ;p
Songs about polish resistance in front of a polish audience... instant epic
Uprising!
@@pawelpm100 not it’s not. There is another song about uprising. This is about Wizna battle

1) Did you realize that you were headbanging so hard your camera was shaking? You missed how the Polish flag suddenly looked like it was boiling when the chorus started.
2) Love that you went to the Sabaton History for the song after reacting. My favorite part of that video is the comment about not being able to leave the country alive without playing 40:1 when they tour in Poland.
Amazing reaction, brings back memories to the Wacken gig, probably the best gig I've been at, well worth the massive sunburn I got on my head from spending the whole day at the front barrier😀😀😀
man i fkn love how enthusiastic you are about instrument and music
Loving your reactions, it's great to see such a unique perspective on some of my favourite bands performances.
Sabaton in particular, I'm not even ashamed to admit they make me cry. First time I heard Price of a Mile I sobbed.
I was lucky enough to see these guys live a few years ago - what amazed me now and back then was even in the smaller venues like the one I was at, they actually seemed to be able to take into account how the music would echo back from the walls and adjust their soundmix appropriately, it took the music up to a whole extra level for me - but I would still love to be able to get to see them at a festival! - what I also loved was not only was their music on point when I saw them, but they were genuinely enjoying themselves and just having a good time up on stage :)
NIce Shirt. Its fun exploring this songs with you for the first time :)
Yes! Finally! Next do swedish pagans from the same show
Love it! Was just about to recommend this to you 🤘
Huge in every way.
What a band.
No better way to get people interested in military history.
Sabaton is a gift to the world.
Poland rocks.
Nationalism for the win!
Sabaton has been growing fast the last years and their production has just gotten bigger every time I see them. They just become more fun each time I see them live. Imo, they're one of the best live bands around currently.
The old Sabaton members that played the on other Wacken stage all play in the same band; Civil War, which is very similar to Sabaton, except they're not as big yet :P
I recommend checking out Swedish Pagans next, it's the one hymn that everyone starts singing between every song, even the band. They also had Tina Guo playing cello during that song at Wacken.
that concert in Gdansk was amazing. The Archbishop gifted them a sword from the treasury of the church of Poland. Like it's my first time hearing something like that.
Because we don't ask how many enemies there are. We ask where they are. Best whishes from Poland Bro.
The choir adds so much to this show. They make everything sound epic when they jump in.
The plan was for Poland to hold Germany for two weeks; France would invade Germany from the west, followed by Britain. France and Britain wussed out. Poland held for FOUR weeks even after the Soviets invaded on Sept. 17th.
Live the reaction, love the song, love the crowd! Ithink Sabaton might be the only band that can play 40:1 in Poland and then play Ghost Division about Romel and the german tanks division.. and the crowd loves Sabaton music even if it is about old enemies.. thats so cool
I love that you did both reactions!
You are the Tankfact Elite, born to react, never distract
Hahahahaha. Love ya, buddy!
GIVE US MORE SABAAAATON!!!!!!!!!
There's a video from some fan from another show where Floor is coming on stage and gives Joachim an AK-shaped guitar^^
Can't beat that unique-ness.
A swedish band sang a song about a ww2 german tank division in front of a crowd of poles. What a world
...And sang in Germany Uprising and 40:1 about heroic fight of Poles against the German aggressor.
You are very entertaining. 🤘 and a new Sabaton fan is born I think😂👍
I was also part of the Wacken Open Air 2019. But you can not compare the crowd to Woodstock. 🥳
Had this in my head aaalllll day and then I see you have done a reaction to it! Coincidence?! I think not!!
If you haven't already seen uprising live @ Woodstock it's rly worth a look. A song about the Warsaw uprising during ww2 performed in Warsaw in front of a few 100k crazy polish fans
We've been lucky where we live and have seen Sabaton live 4-5 times now in the last 7ish years, even on the smallest of stages, their show is still hands down one of the most energetic and fun things I've ever been too!
To Hell and Back is amazing and I think they have a live video at Wacken 2015 of it. It's about Audi Murphey.
Side note* Your reactions are awesome and I learn something new from your videos everytime 😃
Now you have to watch Uprising Live at Woodstock 2013
Hey man, I absolutely LOVE your reaction vids to Sabaton,they are quite a big deal here in Germany,too. I guess if you're singing about Polish Resistance and Nazi crimes in some of your songs and German audience STILL (or even because of that ;) ) ,you're doing something right! SOme more suggestions from me,I think that don't get enough love in reactions,mostly. These would be "Hearts of Iron", "Winged Hussars", "The Red Baron" live from the great tour in Berlin(including a hammond organ,looking like a Fokker airplane" and maybe "Gallipoli" . Thanks four your time and energy for this channel,and welcome to the awesome world of Sabaton!
Chwala Sabaton jest to smutne że Polscy artysci nie widza mozliwosci we wlasnej historii chwala Szwedom
17th September 1939 the odds against the Poles became closer to 50:1 when the USSR invaded from the east! Hammer and Anvil! Congrats on the Sabaton plug!
One more epic song from same Woodstock is uprising song. Another cool production is live from London song about Osowiec fortress. Big thank you for what you are doing
You really are a crazy-level guitar nerd. Wow! Love how you pick these things up.
You deserve more subs. One of my favourite reaction channel for sure :)
Thank you!
When he said what time it was, it was exactly the same time that I watched it and it was eerie.
Hahaha. Nice!
You have only scratched the surface yet, there is so much more good with Sabaton to see, bring it on
Tears.... I saw it. Go for "No Bullets fly"... Then watch sabaton history, Then listen again and there will be even more tears.
Not even going to try to suggest a tune, ANY one you do of them will be awesome. Great job Tank for the double-play.
I think this was the show where after that song was over, the crowd spontaneously started singing the Polish national anthem. The video cuts off right before they start.
They did, yeah. I went back and watched the full show version to see that. Super awesome.
Real talk, if I were able to be at that show, I probably would've been ugly crying while headbanging during this song too lmao. I got into Sabaton around 2008-2009 when my brother showed me the album The Art of War and fell in love with the band. I've since seen them 8 times since their first US tour when they were still a 6 piece. One hell of a special moment right here! 🤘
Dude, I’m not even Polish and it hits me. Super powerful stuff.
I was at this concert! Front row right stage. I freeeaaaked the F out when the old members came on! Most epic moment I have ever seen.
Great video, both videos are great, so it's a well deserved double reaction.
If I'm not mistaken, the singer Joakin is of both swedish (of course) and polish families, so he surely relates to the pride the polish people must feel listening to it.
The song that got me into Sabaton, to this day just amazing listening to it everytime.
I love Sabaton and their productions. Saw them twice, one time a few years ago in Glasgow(Scotland) in a small/medium club and earlier this year(when shows were still a thing) in Oberhausen(Germany) in a big Arena. Both shows were absolutely amazing and I recommend to everyone to go see Sabaton whenever it's possible.
You really, REALLY want to watch "Uprising" live at Woodstock 2012 (it's the official live available at Nuclear Blast Records channel). I was in that crowd and damn, even after 8 years I'm still getting chills. But that song also requires research - Sabaton History has a very basic overview of what happened, and it's worth watching before you sit down to do the reaction.
Hey man, awesome stuff, polish speking here xD great to know that polish history has got some attention, "uprising" is also about Poland so would be great if you would check this one out too 😉 keep up the great work that you do
In flames in background 😍
Considering you mention history classes, if you have any interest in the history behind the events that inspired Sabaton's songs, and are interested in hearing a couple of anecdotes from the band themselves about writing or playing the songs in question, I highly suggest checking out the Sabaton History channel, assuming you haven't done so already. I'm not sure if it would be something to react to, necessarily, but they put together the story behind the songs in a condensed and interesting manner, and some of the band anecdotes are funny, inspiring, or just plain fun to hear.
EDIT: Just got to the 'second half', looks like you have looked into them! Great!
🤘🤘🤘
I remember my first song from Sabaton. Panzerkampf. A friend of mine showed them to me shortly before the release of Carolus Rex. Been my favorite band ever since.
My favorite song from them is and will always be "Hearts of Iron". Shiroyama and Last Stand are close seconds. But the song above all that gets me and my friends pumped, is Swedish Pagans. I have wrecked my voice more than once singing along to it, both at their concert and at home with friends.
You are so in love with them! Haha so awesome!!!
That's why i love this band and is still my favorite band of all time for me , they spara no expense to make it a good show for us and I mean WHOLE crew of sabaton 🤘.
a fan should always give a band the best crowd experience as possible (what i think )and also pay the respect and thank the bands crew if you see them🤘🤟
pure joy in yer eyes man! Keep dat Sabaton coming!
I forgot the social media site, but on it Sabaton personally answered every post. (Or maybe thanked every single new subscriber/follower.)
No Tank, THANK YOU for your reactions! Its really awesome to hear you talk about the bands gear and to read the fact notes that pops up. Love it! And I got another double reaction you could do. Both Amon Amarth and Sabaton have done a song called Twilight of the Thunder God. Would be nice to see a comparison between them, if you could find any videos of the song.
Thanks for doing what you do!
So glad you did both videos, I think both deserve reactions for different reasons - and you don't get the very same thing twice :)
Like the second T-shirt too
I love your reaction to Wacken. Europe has great metal festivals. Wacken, Hellfest, Graspop, Download, Bloodstock, Summer Breeze. Where are you from? And have you ever been on one of those festivals?
Two other legendary performances on Wacken:
- Demons & Wizards - 2 songs - live Wacken Open Air 2019 (supergroup vocal Blind Guardian/ guitar Iced earth)
- Dee Snider (ftd. by Rock Meets Classic) - We're not Gonna Take It - Live at Wacken Open Air 2015
Haven’t been to any of those. I’m in the US, and I’ve been to some of the bigger festivals here, but nothing compares to the open air festivals in Europe.
OH HELLZ YA! This band is Kick ass!!! Keep rockin’ it out! ❤️🤘🏻
It took a while to warm to Sabaton because of their subject matter, but they're so catchy I love them now. Bonus learning stuff I would never have thought to look up myself.
Check out Uprising from the same concert, or official video (also kicks ass) :)
I was in Woodstock,it was Amazing 🤘🤘🤘🤘
13:57 some would say like Dak, in the snowspeeder. Careful though, some would say that the feeling of invincibility did >not< help him bring down the whole empire by himself.
*ahem*
....
AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!
Two things: 1 I am super jealous of that Sabaton shirt. 2 Sabaton loves their fans. They have never missed a show. Once they played even when Joakim was sick and had no voice. Guitarists were ... umm... doing their best singing the lyrics and Joakim was there lifting spirits without a microphone.
For the production quality (or overproducion I should say) you should check "SABATON - Great War (Official Music Video)". Its a mix of live stage shots and behind the stage clips with album audio. The amount of gear you will see there .... countless. This is NUTS.
Regarding the Sabaton live show you should definatelly check one of them. And for the full experience you should do that in Poland ;)
PS. Amon Amart Intro and In Flames Outro. I love it !
love the double react!!!! i might have a fun one for a triple react... sort off... 82nd all the way - preformed by sabaton, amaranthe, and then them together live in oslo. food for thought? (p.s. in both amaranthe and live version you'll see gear, the original from sabaton is a lyric video with cool graphics) ;p
Loooove Sabaton! Thank you for this!!
Was there at Wacken Open Air 2019. So many unreal performances and great names
