I guess metal is like Nokia - connecting people :) The truth is there's no second band singing about Polish history( not even in Poland) like Sabaton . Songs like 40:1 (about battle of Wizna) , Uprising ( Warsaw uprising) or Winged hussars ( Polish cavalry known as Polish hussars) are just examples why they have so many fans in Poland :) ps. There is no words to describe Pol'and'rock festival- people, atmosphere, concerts, 3 days of freedom .. i can just highly recommend ;) .. and Jinjer is confirmed on 2021 line up!

a coment to this, some people when they had negative comments about Britney Spears and her singing, saying that she was bad at singing. Then u had these idiot children who listen to her music and they stated "but its not easy to run around and sing same time" This is something metal singers have been doing since the beginning.
Yeah, once I learned this is their normal opener I didn't think it was that bad and it probably got worked out real fast. It's very common to hear that in the beginning of sets for bands with floor monitors, so no big deal. Still loved it!
@@TankTheTech They start with Ghost Division is cause it gets the place pumped right at the start, it's not a technical song, meaning they can rock out and have fun, while the engineers can easily tweak the sound.
I got to see them live a few years back in Denver, CO. They were touring with Trivium and by God they tore down the house. I managed to get close enough to toss my hat on stage, (I got carried away in the moment..) and Joakim actually bent over mid song and picked it up and put it on his head. Man oh man, I wish I wouldve gotten that on video.
Sabaton goes crazy. Their energy is absolutely through the roof. Their lead guitarist, Chris Rorland, has mentioned a few fantastic guitar influences that I am a big fan of. Adrian Smith, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani. Plus, he's got some damn good gear I would kill to have. I went and did some digging and found his guitar roster over the past few years. I would say 82nd All The Way is a great one to check out, and then one that i'm personally biased towards "Ghost In The Trenches", is about the most highly decorated Native American soldier in Canadian military history and the most effective sniper of the First World War. But all in all, you really can't go wrong with anything these guys do. Killer video as always, bud! Looking forward to the next one!
I would recommend "Swedish Pagans" live at Wacken 2019. It was their 20th Anniversary Show so they played on two separate stages at once. They invited former members that haven't been in Sabaton since 2012. They also had special guest appearance by Tina Guo, she played cello on the Wonder Woman theme song and helping on the Wonder Woman 1984 soundtrack. I would also recommend "En Livstid i Krig" (Live "The Great Tour - Gothenburg) it is them singing in their native language and the crowd is great. En Livstid i Krig means "A Lifetime of War"
That Wacken 2019 show was an insane concert and without a doubt the best I've EVER seen of Sabaton. The tank, the guests, the lengths of the show, the pyros... wow...
Aaaand hat's OFF!! :D Yess "Swedish Pagans" live @wacken2019 is one of my favorite performance from them too. (Soo far) also "Night witches" and "Red Baron" live from The Great Tour (you can find them in their official YT chanel) is awesome and a MUST :) (personal opinion) . Enjoy!
Ahhh Sabaton. The band that you can go nuts rocking out to, or just quietly listen and learn about history. They're hilarious, amazing, and an absolute beast as a live act.
you should to the battle of the bands ! Sabaton - 82nd all the way. And after that its Amaranthe - 82nd all the way(sabaton cover) both are just pure awesomeness
I would recommend their "En livstid i krig" live in Gothenburg just because the cool way it was filmed. Also song Great war has some epic pyro shots in official video.
@@Happymali10 oohh.. that would be cool, she h!s a mom who can teach her singing and a dad that can teach her to play drums and I guess Hannes can play the guitar aswell so she'll be ready to go up in stage whenever she wants :)
For cool ass live shows I’d recommend “Night Witches” and “The Red Baron” from the 2020 Great Tour (they went through Europe and a couple of shows in Russia before everything shut down). Both songs are fast and about pilots, Night Witches about the WW2 all-female Soviet 588th Night bomber regiment and the Red Baron about a German WW1 flying ace (whose name escapes me at the moment) with 80 confirmed kills. Both have a really interesting and fun camera angle, Night Witches dials up pyrotechnics to 11 (to someone with no experience in pyrotechnics) and the Red Baron shows off a lot more audience interaction and awesome props/customized instrument/what ever you can call what they did to that organ. It’s likely not gonna be to hard for you to find a show when we get the current situation under control, as in a normal year I’ve heard that they tour over 200 days. If you wanna check out some other music videos, my recommendations would be “Fields of Verdun” and “Seven Pillars of Wisdom”, both very well directed. The first showing some of the brutalities of WW1 trench warfare, and the second being filmed on location in the Sahara Desert with Indy Nidel who is the historian in Sabatons own history channel (heading back from shooting the band got into a pretty bad car accident, enough so that they had to cancel a couple of shows but they recovered, Indy wasn’t in the accident as he had an extra day of filming on camel back (they show some really cool photos from that on the relevant Sabaton History episode))
I had the privilege to see Sabaton live in Edmonton last year during their Great War Tour. The power and energy, even in such a small venue, was Insane!
Woodstock is absolutely a legendary performance from these guys but I definitely recommend seeing more recent live videos! They've been posting videos from their most recent tour that got cut off from covid 19. Must see recrnt videos include: The Red Baron, Night Witches, and En Livstid I Krig (this one was magical). Thanks for the reactions man, keep rocking 🤘🤘
I was very blessed to see them live in a comparatively small venue (a decade ago... my how time flies) and Yes Joakim runs/ cannonballs around like that all show.. incredible band.. hope you keep checking them out.. and hope you get to see them live!
Sabaton live is incredible. And Joakim has this kind of energy the whole time. I totally recommend to see them live if you have the chance. I have seen them multiple times and they always start with Ghost Division and they are running on the stage with the first line: "Fast as the wind, the invasion has begun". Other recommendations: The whole Wacken 2019 concert the bands 20th anniversary concert on 2 stages simultaneously (3 songs are on RUclips ruclips.net/video/vPbaLrbU6Ho/видео.html, the rest was available on magenta music). On their RUclips channel they are currently releasing a new live video from "The Great Tour" (Start of 2020) every Sunday. This year they played on Wacken world wide on the XR Stage (available on Magenta Music) Then there ist their History channel Sabtaton History where they go in depth on the songs background. Song recommendation i don't know where to start: 40-1, Night Witches, Winged Hussards, Midway, Carolus Rex, Swedish pagans (do this one on a live video). And before i forget: NOCH EIN BIER
They are the best live show ive ever seen. So much fun. Getting and entire theater singing Swedish pagans at max volume or night witches! I raise you a beer and then the winged hussars arrived!
You should really listen to “en livstid I krig - live in Gothenburg”. The performance is amazing and it’s a bit different from what you’ve seen, I really think you would enjoy it. And it would be interesting to se you listen to them sing in Swedish (turn on subs to understand the lyrics). Cheers!
Sabaton is pretty much my number one favourite band overall, seen them live 9 times and counting, first two times at a small local rockbar where the band could barely fit on stage, and they still tore the roof of the place!
I love this song from them, especially considering that Rommel was the leader of the Ghost Division. The man sent telegrams as if he lived in 2021. "Am on the coast" - Erwin Rommel Aside from that, I've seen them live twice. They're so amazing. They have amazing energy, Joakim smashes his knee over and over, and they have a great stage precense. They're also hilarious (though I think many of the jokes they cracked are just because of the many feuds Sweden and Denmark have had, and I saw them in Copenhagen the second time around(first time in Belgium)). Sabaton is one of my favorite bands. Not exactly what I look to listen to every day, but by god, would I go see them live again if I had the chance. This band is amazing, and educational at the same time. All around amazing.
It's a four-day festival with the total attendance of 550K in 2013, not just Sabaton's show. Furthermore entry & camping were both free of charge which explains the attendance of over 0,5M people.
Saw these guys in Houston back in 2015 when they opened for Nightwish. Not sure who got the better reception, Nightwish or Sabaton. The show was killer.
I was already a big fan of Sabaton but after watching several of your reaction videos to them, I can't wait to see them live. I'm hoping to go to the show in Orlando in September!
I've been watching a good number of your reaction videos, and just wanted to let you know you're definitely one of the more likeable "reactors" I've watched. Maybe it's because you're something of an "insider" and actually know what you're looking at and hearing, and the lifelong musician in me simply appreciates that more than reactions from non-musicians. But a lot of reactors' reactions start coming off as rehearsed and over-the-top for the benefit of the camera. It's also nice to hear comments about more than just the lead singer and lead guitarist. Granted, a lot of reaction channels are along the lines of "vocal coach reacts to...", so I suppose it's natural that they'd focus on the singer; or "hip-hop fan reacts to metal", so you've got somebody who really doesn't know what they're hearing or simply isn't conditioned to pay attention to the "backup musicians". Oh, and I may as well give a band suggestion while I'm at it. It's not metal, but in the early 1970s there was a fantastic, all-female band called "Fanny". Very good players, they all sang, and they wrote most of their own stuff. Check out their song, "Blind Alley" - ruclips.net/video/bE3uwtegPEY/видео.html
You can never go wrong with any of their songs. How about something different? Sabaton did killer covers for Metallica’s For Whom the Bell Tolls and Rammstein’s Feuer Frei. Maybe Battle of the Bands with Sabaton soon?
"The audio is gonna be killer.." 😬 Saw them live last year and I wish I had 10% of Joakim's energy. That dude must be drinking redbull like water or something.
actually they have an annual festival in the swedish town Falun. If i am to mistaken it is planned again for next august. It is called 'sabaton open air'.
Sabaton "en livstid i krig - live gothenburg 2020" I was there on that show and the whole crowd started singing istead of Joakim. The song "en livstid i krig" is the Swedish version of there song a "liftime of war" tho both songs tell a diffrent story. "En livstid i krig" tells the story of a singel Swedish soldier going to war. "A liftime of war" tells a story about the 30 years war where soliders lived through a war there whole lives.
And here is a link to "En livstid i krig" from Gothenburg ruclips.net/video/WBs3G1PvyfM/видео.html I saw them in Stockholm. It was a great consert. "En livstid i krig" is a really powerful song.
I've gotten to see Sabaton live once and it was absolutely awesome. Small venue so nothing too crazy happening on stage, but they absolutely had the same energy as if they were playing for a huge crowd. They opened for Nightwish and it's the only time I've gone to a show and one of the opening acts was just as incredible as the headliner.
I have seen them live twice - once as opening act for Iron Maiden in Gothenburg and once when I worked security at the Gates of Metal festival. They are absolutely wild. When I worked security, I was standing next to one of the speaker arrays and suddenly, I had Joakim's boot bang down next to my head.
I've seen them live four times now. Always a full on energetic performance regardless of the crowd size. They just love performing. Their interaction with the crowd is always great. Lots of humor. The smallest show I saw them at was in Charlotte. Perhaps 150? 200? people. They didn't back down and even came out to hang with us after the show. I have a great group photo taken with them. Very humble guys. Definitely get to a show whenever the current craziness ends. Fun fact: At their ProgPower USA performance, Joakim split his pants during the show and performed the rest of the show with Duck Tape around his crotch.
If you get lucky, they may just tour with Nightwish again 🤞. My first time hearing them was when they opened for Nightwish and I was an instant fan. We also chatted to Joakim for a bit after the show and he was such a nice guy!
My favorite song from Sabaton is easily Carolus Rex. It's the title track for the album with the same name and it was the album to get them their first platinum award. Album description: Powerful lyrics, huge production, heavy riffs and everything put together creates an epic sound. Most people would get bored after 2 or 3 songs of this kind of album but every song is something new, a surprise, if you want. From having coir singing a prayer in Carolean's Prayer and the 153bpm double kick drums of Lion From the North to the flowing guitar riffs of Gott Mit Uns and the powerful and intimidating lyrics of Carolus Rex.
one of the best live bands out there. they are on a similiar level like Guadian, Maiden, Rammstein... I've never felt more energy from a band, from a crowd, just overall then at a Sabaton concert... you really gotta see them if you get the chance. btw, this live DVD is more than worth watching/purchasing! again, one of the best live dvds that atleast I have seen :)
Just found your channel, and I'm loving it! Sabaton is my favorite band! I was happy that when I made a comment about making a whole playlist of them live in said places their songs come from, they said it sounded like an amazing idea!
Yes, go see this band as soon as you can. I've been to many shows and they ALWAYS put on a fantastic show. You will be involved. Sabaton gets the crowd going with every show.
I was at WoodStock last year for parkway drive and holy fuck! im irish and the polish people are amazing! and that festival was fucking insane! cant wait to get back
they had very little pyro on that festival/tour compared to what they do bring on tours today. today they even bring their own drum riser in the shape of a model tank. latest tour to support their "the great war" album, they brought barbed wires, wide stairs for their choir to stand on and LOTS of pyro (both flames and fireworks)
Have seen them 3 times now. And beeing from Germany im also enjoying the "NOCH EIN BIER" for quite a lot. The most fun and some of the most intense concerts I've ever been.
I love me some Sabaton, got to see them live last year when they were touring with Hammerfall and they both blew the house down. Glad to see another person who started RUclips during the pandemic having fun with it and your channel doing well. We'll get to see these amazing shows soon enough, just gotta be patient! If you haven't checked them out before then check out beast in black. Maybe their song "Berserker" or "Blind and frozen"
Angels calling, 7 pillars of wisdom, fields of verdun, 82nd all the way, great war, winged hussars, Sparta. That's just a few off the top my head, get into them you will not be disappointed I wasn't, and being a veteran, listening to them tell the tales from war history no judgement or bias is brilliant.
I have see them 3time in french, that's one of me favorite band. One Time the singer lost is voice and to stop after 3song so two guitar player for the rest of the show and it was verry cool
It's cool to see videos of the band with these huge crowds. They started out in the small town where I grew up and so I've only seen them live in very small settings.
40:1 is another really great song from the same show, just later in the lineup. This whole concert was crazy, and Joakim said on stage that if the crowd represented a "city", it had a far larger population than their hometown in Sweden
Sabatons special thing in their live shows are the very huge pyro shows and their military set... they have two tanks, board wire and a machine gun mic stand on theyre stage.
I got to see them several times over the years. They are as involved with the crowd now as they were early on. Surprisingly I got to talk to them after a show and they were absolutely awesome in their humility. I heartily recommend their playing 40:1 in Poland.
I don't know if this will still happen, but... Sabaton was supposed to open for the Judas Priest tour that would have been this fall. The tour was postponed, so I'm not sure there will still be Sabaton. I bought tickets, but my venue was one of the ones canceled instead of postponed. I was at the Sabaton/Hammerfall concert last year, and it was awesome. The last concert I will ever go to with my husband.
If you like the set production for this, Might I recommend any video from "The Great Tour" The live show they were doing this year before it was unfortunately cut short due to Covid. Pyro, A tank, a biplane, Gas masks. In the london show, They all made us sing along to the tune of Swedish Pagans but just singing the word Ikea.
I hope you have seen this band live for now, I saw them first time ever at spring at Finland and it was F*****g great... had to wait for like 5 year to make it to show that I wasn't working or anything else... and as I am from Finland I wanted to see them in Finland, and it was even better than I ever excepted! So hard to choose best band live ever since I have seen so many but this was one of the best
40:1 and Uprising from this show are both fire. Check out any video of the tour they just finished up earlier this year ('The Great Tour') You will notice new band members, Hannes van Dahl replacing Robban Back on drums and Tommy Johansson replacing Thobbe Englund on guitar. Have fun!
Sabaton is such a fun band to watch. You know that there will never ever be boring. You really can’t go wrong with any of their songs, but I really enjoy rocking out to Night Witches. Have a great day!
There are 2 songs from Sabaton you absolutely have to listen. One is Attack of the dead men, which is a story about some russian soliders during WW1 who, after being attacked with poison gas, they charged at their enemies, disfigured and coughing blood and pieces of their lungs. The germans literally flew because they were shocked by whst they saw. And the second one is Resist and bite, a story about the Belgian resistance during WW2, where a group of 40 soliders, surrounded and isolated in a bunker, resisted 18 days against the combined forces of the German army. And they were not defeated, they gave up fighting after they run out of amo. Both songs are filled with energy, pride and power.
A little background info is that this song is about romalds panzer battalion moving so fast they were leaving the other battalions and resupplies behind
I saw them open for Amon Amarth in 2014 or 15 in a small American venue (Higher Ground in Burlington, Vermont). They are every bit as good on a small stage as they are on a big one.
Sabaton is an amzing live band and nowadays they use a lot more pyro. I saw them live in january before the lockdown. They release the live videos from the last tour on their youtube channel every saturday, you should check them out. They are shot from the stage behind the band so there is alot to see 😁. And gearwise they use kemper profilers live for guitar and bass. But i think chris is playing an Engl amp in the studio 🤔
Great reaction! Blind Guardian use in the outro was a nice nod to the runner-up in the Patreon poll. Fear Factory intro took me back 20 some-odd years. hahaha
I'm glad you stopped to talk about the pyro, I was wondering if you'd mention it. I was surprised by their use of pyro and how perfectly timed it was at bloodstock in the UK. It's not overused by any stretch but when it is used it's on point.
Great reaction as usual my man! Interestingly since this was a few years back they weren't putting a lot of pyro in their sets but if you see some of their shows now arena or outdoor they've upped their pyro game on a whole other level 🙌🤘
I first heard these guys when I saw Nightwish live. They damn near stole the show and I absolutely love Nightwish! The energy was just off the charts. Fun fact: Their drummer is married to Floor.
I like the New Ghost Division Video of the great Tour more not just because of the camera quolity but also because of the pyro technic (and because i was at the Oberhausen concert)
Cliffs of Gallipoli is a good 1 and you can follow up on many of their songs on their Sabaton History channel were they give the history behind the song and even talk about why they did it
If you think this stage show is good. Watch 40:1 from same show. Like I said on Bismark vid. As a roadie. You'll love the props as they send the Polish crowd wild.
a few of my favorite sabaton songs are "82nd all the way" "lifetime of war" "last stand" and "carolus rex". all good songs. and as i am a scandinavian myself, the fact they made a swedish version of the carolus rex album was a nice bonus to me. i actually prefer the swedish version of lifetime of war "livstid i krig" to the english version as i feel the lyrics flow better. but if you do not speak swedish i dont know if it is something that would detract from your enjoyment of the song.
I love the Amaranthe Cover of 82nd all the way, esp. the Live Video from the Sabaton Gig in Sweden. Joakim is taking a break and let Amaranthe playing the Song on stage.
Just for reference: It's a Swedish band, singing about a German Tank Division of WW2, in front of a Polish crowd... and the polish crowd is singing along :)
They got a crowd of Polish people to headbang to a song about a German tank division. Not bad.
I guess metal is like Nokia - connecting people :) The truth is there's no second band singing about Polish history( not even in Poland) like Sabaton . Songs like 40:1 (about battle of Wizna) , Uprising ( Warsaw uprising) or Winged hussars ( Polish cavalry known as Polish hussars) are just examples why they have so many fans in Poland :)

the song is more about the 700 polish soldiers who defended themself against the german army
@Orlando Rotundo The song is about the invasion of France in 1940, specifically the 7th panzer division which was led by Rommel
One very notable thing, Joacim is running around and singing at the same time. Without his voice changing. That is pretty impressive.

@@kjelledbom1728 I know, right? Bruce Dickinson would like a word.
Q: does Sabaton have a tank?

I thought the second one is named Walter?
Anyway these guys always have a big smile on their faces when it comes to their own Tanks
Adorible!
The feedback issue was solved right at the beginning of the show since this song was and always is their opener.
Yeah, once I learned this is their normal opener I didn't think it was that bad and it probably got worked out real fast. It's very common to hear that in the beginning of sets for bands with floor monitors, so no big deal. Still loved it!

Also, their current drummer, Hannes van Dahl (Floor Jansen's husband ) has a tank on stage!
Great choises👍
He could do a double. En livstid i krig (with eng subs) and a Lifetime of war. The same melody but two different lyrics.
Ahhh Sabaton. The band that you can go nuts rocking out to, or just quietly listen and learn about history. They're hilarious, amazing, and an absolute beast as a live act.
"I love pyro in shows"
_Rammstein has entered the chat_
From Sabaton:
Fields of Verdun
Night wishes
The Lost Battalion
To Hell and Back
Carolus Rex
Many others, it's actually hard to make a wrong choice.
Right
Nice touch having “Valhalla” playing in the bg.
Thanks!
THE BARDS!!!
Sabaton is really excellent live. In the tour I saw them, the entire drum riser was a giant tank. Great energy, true showmen.
you should to the battle of the bands ! Sabaton - 82nd all the way. And after that its Amaranthe - 82nd all the way(sabaton cover) both are just pure awesomeness
The thing is, both bands have done better songs. As much as comparisons are neat. Sorry if comment came across wrong.
Why do a battle of the bands when the Sabatons live video features Amaranthe? Best of both worlds 😂🤘
Lauren Fericy point well made lol

If I am not mistaken, Floor Jansen is married to the current drummer of Sabaton Hannes Van Dahl.

Song recommendation i don't know where to start: 40-1, Night Witches, Winged Hussards, Midway, Carolus Rex, Swedish pagans (do this one on a live video).
And before i forget:
NOCH EIN BIER
They are the best live show ive ever seen. So much fun. Getting and entire theater singing Swedish pagans at max volume or night witches!
I raise you a beer and then the winged hussars arrived!
@@CailynCara yep they have one of the best live shows every single time. But i have seen Ramstein too and thats hard to beat
Even at smaller venues they still put in the same amount of energy as during that video.
@@aftonblau2615 oh yea i was in copenhagen on a tuesday and it was so energetic
You should really listen to “en livstid I krig - live in Gothenburg”. The performance is amazing and it’s a bit different from what you’ve seen, I really think you would enjoy it. And it would be interesting to se you listen to them sing in Swedish (turn on subs to understand the lyrics). Cheers!
Sabaton is pretty much my number one favourite band overall, seen them live 9 times and counting, first two times at a small local rockbar where the band could barely fit on stage, and they still tore the roof of the place!
I love this song from them, especially considering that Rommel was the leader of the Ghost Division. The man sent telegrams as if he lived in 2021. "Am on the coast" - Erwin Rommel
Aside from that, I've seen them live twice. They're so amazing. They have amazing energy, Joakim smashes his knee over and over, and they have a great stage precense. They're also hilarious (though I think many of the jokes they cracked are just because of the many feuds Sweden and Denmark have had, and I saw them in Copenhagen the second time around(first time in Belgium)). Sabaton is one of my favorite bands. Not exactly what I look to listen to every day, but by god, would I go see them live again if I had the chance. This band is amazing, and educational at the same time. All around amazing.
It's a four-day festival with the total attendance of 550K in 2013, not just Sabaton's show. Furthermore entry & camping were both free of charge which explains the attendance of over 0,5M people.
Saw these guys in Houston back in 2015 when they opened for Nightwish. Not sure who got the better reception, Nightwish or Sabaton. The show was killer.
Gawd... that would have been the most unbelievable show... me=jealous
I missed my chance to see that tour my self and i am still kicking my self
That was a fantastic show. Only problem was that Sabaton went so hard, I was wiped by the time Nightwish took the stage 😂
I was already a big fan of Sabaton but after watching several of your reaction videos to them, I can't wait to see them live. I'm hoping to go to the show in Orlando in September!
Nice! I’m seeing them in October!
I've been watching a good number of your reaction videos, and just wanted to let you know you're definitely one of the more likeable "reactors" I've watched. Maybe it's because you're something of an "insider" and actually know what you're looking at and hearing, and the lifelong musician in me simply appreciates that more than reactions from non-musicians. But a lot of reactors' reactions start coming off as rehearsed and over-the-top for the benefit of the camera. It's also nice to hear comments about more than just the lead singer and lead guitarist. Granted, a lot of reaction channels are along the lines of "vocal coach reacts to...", so I suppose it's natural that they'd focus on the singer; or "hip-hop fan reacts to metal", so you've got somebody who really doesn't know what they're hearing or simply isn't conditioned to pay attention to the "backup musicians".
Oh, and I may as well give a band suggestion while I'm at it. It's not metal, but in the early 1970s there was a fantastic, all-female band called "Fanny". Very good players, they all sang, and they wrote most of their own stuff. Check out their song, "Blind Alley" - ruclips.net/video/bE3uwtegPEY/видео.html
Thanks a ton! Much appreciated. Believe it or not, I’ve actually heard of Fanny but haven’t heard a ton of stuff. Thanks for the recommendation!
You can never go wrong with any of their songs. How about something different? Sabaton did killer covers for Metallica’s For Whom the Bell Tolls and Rammstein’s Feuer Frei. Maybe Battle of the Bands with Sabaton soon?
They have amazing covers... some more to mention are
Out of control
In the army now
Twilight of the thunder god
En hjaltes vag
Camouflage
🤘

"The audio is gonna be killer.." 😬
Saw them live last year and I wish I had 10% of Joakim's energy. That dude must be drinking redbull like water or something.
nah, Joakim is beer fueled :)
Obviously
actually they have an annual festival in the swedish town Falun. If i am to mistaken it is planned again for next august. It is called 'sabaton open air'.
Sabaton "en livstid i krig - live gothenburg 2020" I was there on that show and the whole crowd started singing istead of Joakim. The song "en livstid i krig" is the Swedish version of there song a "liftime of war" tho both songs tell a diffrent story. "En livstid i krig" tells the story of a singel Swedish soldier going to war. "A liftime of war" tells a story about the 30 years war where soliders lived through a war there whole lives.
And here is a link to "En livstid i krig" from Gothenburg ruclips.net/video/WBs3G1PvyfM/видео.html I saw them in Stockholm. It was a great consert. "En livstid i krig" is a really powerful song.
I've gotten to see Sabaton live once and it was absolutely awesome. Small venue so nothing too crazy happening on stage, but they absolutely had the same energy as if they were playing for a huge crowd. They opened for Nightwish and it's the only time I've gone to a show and one of the opening acts was just as incredible as the headliner.
I have seen them live twice - once as opening act for Iron Maiden in Gothenburg and once when I worked security at the Gates of Metal festival. They are absolutely wild. When I worked security, I was standing next to one of the speaker arrays and suddenly, I had Joakim's boot bang down next to my head.
Sabaton is soo fun Live. Seen them 4 times now and it always totally awsome
They keep that energy up for the full 2 1/2hr set, I have no idea how
I've seen them live four times now. Always a full on energetic performance regardless of the crowd size. They just love performing. Their interaction with the crowd is always great. Lots of humor. The smallest show I saw them at was in Charlotte. Perhaps 150? 200? people. They didn't back down and even came out to hang with us after the show. I have a great group photo taken with them. Very humble guys. Definitely get to a show whenever the current craziness ends. Fun fact: At their ProgPower USA performance, Joakim split his pants during the show and performed the rest of the show with Duck Tape around his crotch.
If you get lucky, they may just tour with Nightwish again 🤞. My first time hearing them was when they opened for Nightwish and I was an instant fan. We also chatted to Joakim for a bit after the show and he was such a nice guy!
My favorite song from Sabaton is easily Carolus Rex. It's the title track for the album with the same name and it was the album to get them their first platinum award. Album description: Powerful lyrics, huge production, heavy riffs and everything put together creates an epic sound. Most people would get bored after 2 or 3 songs of this kind of album but every song is something new, a surprise, if you want. From having coir singing a prayer in Carolean's Prayer and the 153bpm double kick drums of Lion From the North to the flowing guitar riffs of Gott Mit Uns and the powerful and intimidating lyrics of Carolus Rex.
Where my Panzer Elite at? Nice one, man. This was their opening song at the Woodstock Poland Festival.
one of the best live bands out there. they are on a similiar level like Guadian, Maiden, Rammstein... I've never felt more energy from a band, from a crowd, just overall then at a Sabaton concert... you really gotta see them if you get the chance.
btw, this live DVD is more than worth watching/purchasing! again, one of the best live dvds that atleast I have seen :)
You can't be wrong with any of their songs - live or official video ;-) Love your reactions
Just found your channel, and I'm loving it! Sabaton is my favorite band! I was happy that when I made a comment about making a whole playlist of them live in said places their songs come from, they said it sounded like an amazing idea!
Sabaton are fantastic live, one of my top for sure!
Yes, go see this band as soon as you can. I've been to many shows and they ALWAYS put on a fantastic show. You will be involved. Sabaton gets the crowd going with every show.
I was at WoodStock last year for parkway drive and holy fuck! im irish and the polish people are amazing! and that festival was fucking insane! cant wait to get back
they had very little pyro on that festival/tour compared to what they do bring on tours today. today they even bring their own drum riser in the shape of a model tank. latest tour to support their "the great war" album, they brought barbed wires, wide stairs for their choir to stand on and LOTS of pyro (both flames and fireworks)
They are touring the US next year. Looking forward to that!
These guys are awesome live. One of my favorite shows I've ever been to. They don't disappoint live.
Half a million plus.
😯
Yay! Poland!
Thanks, man! Nice one to wake up with. Always love their energy and the no nonsence power of their songs.
Have seen them 3 times now.
And beeing from Germany im also enjoying the "NOCH EIN BIER" for quite a lot. The most fun and some of the most intense concerts I've ever been.
I definitely recommend seeing them live. Saw them in Chicago in October 2019. I drove 2 and a half hours just to see them. WORTH it. I loved them.
When they did 40:1 at that same show, they had a giant polish flag over the front section of the audience, and the song itself is great too.
Always remember to shout "NOCH ein bier" at their liveshows so Joakim knows that he needs to stay hydrated.
Saw them three times. Totally worth it 🤘🏻 the energy is unbelievable.
I love me some Sabaton, got to see them live last year when they were touring with Hammerfall and they both blew the house down. Glad to see another person who started RUclips during the pandemic having fun with it and your channel doing well. We'll get to see these amazing shows soon enough, just gotta be patient!
If you haven't checked them out before then check out beast in black. Maybe their song "Berserker" or "Blind and frozen"
Angels calling, 7 pillars of wisdom, fields of verdun, 82nd all the way, great war, winged hussars, Sparta. That's just a few off the top my head, get into them you will not be disappointed I wasn't, and being a veteran, listening to them tell the tales from war history no judgement or bias is brilliant.
I have see them 3time in french, that's one of me favorite band. One Time the singer lost is voice and to stop after 3song so two guitar player for the rest of the show and it was verry cool
It's cool to see videos of the band with these huge crowds. They started out in the small town where I grew up and so I've only seen them live in very small settings.
40:1 is another really great song from the same show, just later in the lineup. This whole concert was crazy, and Joakim said on stage that if the crowd represented a "city", it had a far larger population than their hometown in Sweden
Sabatons special thing in their live shows are the very huge pyro shows and their military set... they have two tanks, board wire and a machine gun mic stand on theyre stage.
I got to see them several times over the years. They are as involved with the crowd now as they were early on. Surprisingly I got to talk to them after a show and they were absolutely awesome in their humility. I heartily recommend their playing 40:1 in Poland.
I saw that one. Absolutely amazing!
I don't know if this will still happen, but...
Sabaton was supposed to open for the Judas Priest tour that would have been this fall. The tour was postponed, so I'm not sure there will still be Sabaton.
I bought tickets, but my venue was one of the ones canceled instead of postponed.
I was at the Sabaton/Hammerfall concert last year, and it was awesome. The last concert I will ever go to with my husband.
If you like the set production for this, Might I recommend any video from "The Great Tour" The live show they were doing this year before it was unfortunately cut short due to Covid.
Pyro, A tank, a biplane, Gas masks. In the london show, They all made us sing along to the tune of Swedish Pagans but just singing the word Ikea.
I hope you have seen this band live for now, I saw them first time ever at spring at Finland and it was F*****g great... had to wait for like 5 year to make it to show that I wasn't working or anything else... and as I am from Finland I wanted to see them in Finland, and it was even better than I ever excepted! So hard to choose best band live ever since I have seen so many but this was one of the best
Blood of Banockburn, Shiroyama, Wolfpack, Night Witches, No Bullets Fly and Red Baron just to name a few of my favorite songs of theirs.
40:1 and Uprising from this show are both fire. Check out any video of the tour they just finished up earlier this year ('The Great Tour') You will notice new band members, Hannes van Dahl replacing Robban Back on drums and Tommy Johansson replacing Thobbe Englund on guitar. Have fun!
I’m loving your facts you’re putting in. It’s fantastic.
Literally everything. Please just do the whole catalog. But specifically, Into the Fire. Incredibly energetic video.
This is one band I need to see live
Sabaton - En Livstid i Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg)
Great song in original language and on home ground 😎🤘🤘
Soon. 😎
@@TankTheTech Nice, mayby use subtitles :)
I've been recommended doing that a few times, so I definitely will!
I managed to see Sabaton live just before lockdown started. They were fantastic.
Yes! Another great song reaction🔥🤘🤘👍
Sabaton is such a fun band to watch. You know that there will never ever be boring. You really can’t go wrong with any of their songs, but I really enjoy rocking out to Night Witches.
Have a great day!
I came back to this video to finally announce I finally saw this band live yesterday in Detroit and it was fantastic
There are 2 songs from Sabaton you absolutely have to listen. One is Attack of the dead men, which is a story about some russian soliders during WW1 who, after being attacked with poison gas, they charged at their enemies, disfigured and coughing blood and pieces of their lungs. The germans literally flew because they were shocked by whst they saw.
And the second one is Resist and bite, a story about the Belgian resistance during WW2, where a group of 40 soliders, surrounded and isolated in a bunker, resisted 18 days against the combined forces of the German army. And they were not defeated, they gave up fighting after they run out of amo.
Both songs are filled with energy, pride and power.
A little background info is that this song is about romalds panzer battalion moving so fast they were leaving the other battalions and resupplies behind
This concert is from 8 years ago, Sabaton are much bigger now in Europe, the current stage setup is impressive compared to this one.
Impressive is an understatement Sabaton, iron maiden and Rammstein probably have some of the most impressive stage sets now.
I saw them open for Amon Amarth in 2014 or 15 in a small American venue (Higher Ground in Burlington, Vermont). They are every bit as good on a small stage as they are on a big one.
@@whym6438 yeah they hit hard regardless but God the product they have in Europe is insane
Sabaton is an amzing live band and nowadays they use a lot more pyro. I saw them live in january before the lockdown. They release the live videos from the last tour on their youtube channel every saturday, you should check them out. They are shot from the stage behind the band so there is alot to see 😁. And gearwise they use kemper profilers live for guitar and bass. But i think chris is playing an Engl amp in the studio 🤔
I got to see Sabaton for the first time in 2016.
When they opened for Nightwish of all bands. lol
i love it when i myself get into the groove with the music and then it suddenly stops and he goes "UUUH GEAR WISE"
Great reaction! Blind Guardian use in the outro was a nice nod to the runner-up in the Patreon poll. Fear Factory intro took me back 20 some-odd years. hahaha
Joakim does jumping, bouncing, running and doing all sort of moves I'm not sure I could do at all, let alone while singing... he's epic
And his knee is unbreakable
Thanos once snapped to blast Sabaton's knee. That was the last time people ever see Thanos.
I hope you see them soon! They are amazing live. Amazing with the crowd. Especially at a festival when also their friends Powerwolf play :D
I'm glad you stopped to talk about the pyro, I was wondering if you'd mention it. I was surprised by their use of pyro and how perfectly timed it was at bloodstock in the UK. It's not overused by any stretch but when it is used it's on point.
Carolus Rex live at Stockholm! 😉😃👌🏼👏🏼🔥🔥 You will love it! Greetings to you all from Norway! 🇳🇴🇳🇴
Great reaction as usual my man!
Interestingly since this was a few years back they weren't putting a lot of pyro in their sets but if you see some of their shows now arena or outdoor they've upped their pyro game on a whole other level 🙌🤘
Stage hand, here. Bro. You gotta see these guys live, and set up their show. You will never regret it.
🤘🤘🤘
I honestly really appreciate the fact popups and gear-talk. A+ dude.
I first heard these guys when I saw Nightwish live. They damn near stole the show and I absolutely love Nightwish! The energy was just off the charts. Fun fact: Their drummer is married to Floor.
I recommend you watch their performance of uprising in poland, might be one of the most epic live performances i've seen
They are not only a great band but also great guys. I had the chance to hang out with them backstage at forta rock in 2014.
Favorite song by them. And what a performance, pure energy
I like the New Ghost Division Video of the great Tour more not just because of the camera quolity but also because of the pyro technic (and because i was at the Oberhausen concert)
Cliffs of Gallipoli is a good 1 and you can follow up on many of their songs on their Sabaton History channel were they give the history behind the song and even talk about why they did it
You should definitely check out the new live videos from The Great Tour. That set alone was amazing.
If you think this stage show is good. Watch 40:1 from same show. Like I said on Bismark vid. As a roadie. You'll love the props as they send the Polish crowd wild.
a few of my favorite sabaton songs are "82nd all the way" "lifetime of war" "last stand" and "carolus rex". all good songs.
and as i am a scandinavian myself, the fact they made a swedish version of the carolus rex album was a nice bonus to me. i actually prefer the swedish version of lifetime of war "livstid i krig" to the english version as i feel the lyrics flow better. but if you do not speak swedish i dont know if it is something that would detract from your enjoyment of the song.
My Swedish is limited to counting to ten, some profanity, and singing along to En livstid i krig.
I love the Amaranthe Cover of 82nd all the way, esp. the Live Video from the Sabaton Gig in Sweden. Joakim is taking a break and let Amaranthe playing the Song on stage.
Just for reference: It's a Swedish band, singing about a German Tank Division of WW2, in front of a Polish crowd... and the polish crowd is singing along :)
