I'm so glad you're doing Sabaton. If you get to No Bullets Fly, get the Yarnhub version. It tells an amazing story, and the end just gets better and better. RIP Lemmy.
Can't wait until you get to "Christmas Truce". Sabaton has many songs that reaches in and touches something inside you. "Christmas Truce" did me in, the first time I watched it.
Sabaton Squad, Southern California, checking in for muster... With Sabaton songs... you may have multiple videos per song, so it's important to pay attention to exactly what is being recommended. You've got original videos, original live videos, lyric videos, animated videos, and *animated story videos* ! Many have outtros and credit reels...never cut them. Read the description b4 you watch so you know the story! The band write songs about real, historic military topics, and you can learn more about any of those stories on The Sabaton History Channel! At ease.
I had tears in my eyes...😢 16 years old 😔 Good homage to other soldiers dying face down in the mud as well as an *Homage to Motorhead* who recorded the song originally. Their videos are probably a better history 📚 lesson than what is taught in schools now! Well done SABATON ❣️ The drummer the man with the black cap Hannes van Dahl is Floor's husband, always nice to know 🥰 Thank you 🇳🇱
This is one of the Sabaton songs that means so much to the UK as 57,740 British men lost their lives on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Like the Christmas Truce these historical events are part of our Nation's history. As a British Patriot and a supporter of the British Armed Forces Past and Present, Sabaton did a fantastic job telling the true story of those British and French heroes who lost their lives or were severely wounded plus those suffering Shell Shock ( PTSD), that fought for Sovereignty, Democracy and Freedom. I have been a Sabaton fan for years and they are the greatest band in the world by far. British Sabaton Fan 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴💙💛🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Makes me weep. My grandfather tried to enlist as a young teen but was found out, so they set him to collect the dog tags and any ID off of bodies. He would NEVER talk about it - true horror. He up and left Belgium to Canada at 17 by himself to start a new life after.
i like how they added soldiers/warriors from all era's in this, ancient Greeks and medieval soldiers for example, chances are kids back then fought while even younger than the 16 yr olds that fought during WW1
Experts estimate that it will take about 500 years to clear the area after the Battle of the Somme with all kinds of unexploded ordnance and the like. About 20 million artillery shells were fired in this battle.
As far as I know there are areas of France (particularly near Verdun) where it's still illegal to farm because the ground is still saturated with poison gas after over 100 years.
Amazing version of Motörheads old song. And the lyrics hits hard. And the video is amazing. They even have Phil and Mikkey from Motörhead in the video and a portrait of Lemmy. Totally amazing. And Tina Guo playing cello during the credits. Nothing can go wrong here.
Thanks for the respect shown in this reaction. Lemmy wrote a masterpiece and Joakim and the rest of Sabaton truly did it justice. Tina Gou is playing to the credits. She has played with Sabaton before, you can se her playing with Sabaton at Wacken to the song Swedish pagans and in the musikvideo Steelcommanders.
This is my opinion, though I feel some people may have a similar opinion. The fact that no one knows the names of soldiers (You know, the poor guys who do all the hard work) who go into war, even today is... disgusting if you think about it. You can pull someone off the street and ask who is (insert WW2 soldier here) and get "I don't know." But if you say "Who is (any celebrity here)" they can give you a god damn biography of what is essentially a useless person in comparison to any soldier who has fought and died in a war. (This is madness to me and I'm not even in the military, though I respect any who serve or have served.) Yes, there are monuments of 'hopefully' every single soldier's name on it, but that's not enough in my opinion. That seems more like a consolation prize for appearances sake. There should be more bands, more groups and organizations that do what Sabaton does. Bring all history up and remind everyone what heroes truly are, that we remember their sacrifice, and that we should NEVER forget what they did, let alone scorn any soldier, no matter the side he takes on the battlefield. It isn't always a soldier's fault he has to fight, sometimes he doesn't have the ability to choose and that... both sides in a war are guilty of one war crime or another. (so we shouldn't be judging) I think schools should have roster-like books of all the people who fought during wars that their country participated in, every name whether or not they died. Just so people can see the names. Doesn't even have to have any kind of battle. Just have names, rank, war involved in, whether or not they were KIA, things of that nature. Let people see the weight of what such a book would be and I'm sure people will remember at least a few names, which is better than where we are right now. (which is none)
Sabaton's take on WWI stories always gets me. I've never served in the military, but most of my older family members did, and I was raised to feel the weight of their collective experience. Even where I live now in Greater Manchester, I try to be aware of the history all around me. The Metrolink tram network goes all the way to Bolton. where the is a memorial to all the Lancashire lads killed in the Gallipoli campaign. Gallipoli is one of the foundational experiences of Australia and New Zealand, where the public were shocked to find out (not entirely accurately) that the British Army cared not a jot for the flower of our youth and repeatedly used them as cannon fodder in pointless suicidal attacks. The Motorhead connection is very cool! Most of the older relatives I knew were veterans of WWII, most of them serving in NZ Second Division, the Division that saw the most continuous combat of any in the war. My Great Uncles went right though it, from Greece to Crete to years back and forth in North Africa, to Italy under the Merkins, finishing up invading Austria. I had an older cousin killed before I was born serving with the NZ Army in Vietnam. My English Dad's father was in 1st Airborne Division in WWII and fought at Arnhem. My dad served in 1Para before I was born.
Beautifull...well done, again! How about a special shout out to Tina Guo..Cellist extraordinaire for her epic outro to this! Sabaton are surely a most talented group of men. Their take on the Motorhead version is a very moving and worthwhile tribute. RIP Lemmy. TC
This is the Sabaton song that hits me the hardest. It is so beautiful and so painful, at the same time. It's focus on the individual soldier and their honor and bravery, without glossing over the grit and the dirt; the pain and the horror that goes with war is superb.
You should listen to the original 1916 by Motörhead. Since this one by Sabaton is a cover. But you should also listen to Sabaton in Flanders field too!
I did a holiday one summer in the 1970s and we did the First World War cemeteries and they are VAST and deeply sad You also realise when you visit Ghent and Bruges that virtually no building is older than 1920 They were all destroyed in the war and had to be rebuilt to their medieval splendour. I was interested to see a Sikh soldier in the ensemble and they were on the western front as part of the British Expeditionary Forces.
And here's my obligatory mention of a cool and more than a little creepy detail (a nice reaction btw!): Around the middle of the video the crowd/parade comes across a lovely early 20th century ecru-coloured coupe that's standing abandoned in the street. This is the car that *Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria* and his (morganatic) wife *Sophie Chotek, Duchess of Hohenberg* bled to death in in Sarajevo on the 28th of June 1914, setting off *The Seminal Tragedy* a.k.a. *The July Crisis* which then obviously led to *The Great War* sometimes referred to as *The Apocalypse of the Old World* . This one empty coupe in a very real sense is the Pale Horse Conquest rode in on with War and Pestilence and Hunger in it's train. I also feel it's a signifier of the level of knowledge that Sabaton by now has reached in dealing with historical matters, especially when compared to their initial albums. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
Thanks - I missed that. I have always thought that old Franz Ferdinand has been given a raw deal by history. He was not a bad man, and he was not unintelligent.
@@FDzerzhinsky He *was* an Austrian chauvinist (as in: automatically saw Austria in the right) and an altogether problematic character to deal with, great friends with Willi II, equally held to have been an occasionally odious person to deal with, *but* he was a man of way more modern concepts for the future of the KuK Empire, he had a map in his possetion he had comissioned as his blue print for the Empire under his rule as essentially a royal-imperial confederation of internally self-governing states under an almost presidential securety umbrella - something a lot more like a deeper EU with a united Army than an authoritarian Empire. Plus he was a devouted Husband and a great shot at hunting. So in a very true way the Black Hand killed the one bloke who would have been willing to deal with them. But then the Black Hand was a "Greater Serbia" focused organisation of "deep state" sponsored terrorists... Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
The soldier pulling himself out of the mud, at first I thought he was a member of "The Smoking Snakes" (Força Expedicionária Brasileira, FEB, nicknamed Cobras Fumantes), but doing some more research with the patch on his shoulder as well as his helmet, that's Sgt Henry Johnson of the 15th New York National Guard Regiment, aka "The Harlem Hellfighters". Medal of Honor recipient and recipient of French Croix de Guerre avec Palme, France's highest award for valor. The Medal of Honor was awarded to him in 2015. Sgt. Henry Johnson is "one of the five bravest American soldiers in the war." Theodore Roosevelt Jr. in his book "Rank and File: True Stories of the Great War" The Asian soldier with the cocked-hat, that's a Nepalese Gurka named Havildar Gurung (per the credits) who earn the Victoria Cross in the Burma campaign off WWII. Sgt Awal Nur, who did a secret mission over the Himalaya. Lt. Audie Murphy, Sgt. Alvin York are both medal of honor recipients from WWI (York) and WWII (Murphy). I also notice a soldier with the Croix Lorraine on what looks like a French flag arm band, meaning he was a member of the 'Forces françaises libres' forces in WWII. Doing some reading I found out that a large number of French colonial troops from territories such as Chad had joined with the 'Forces françaises libres'. I suspect that soldier is Lt Comba, but I can't find anything on him. As I've been working my way through the names listed in the credits and found another one: Private George Stringer, Manchester, Awarded the Victoria Cross at the Battle of Es Sinn in Mesopotamia. Capt. Dobson, 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion, Killed on 9 July 1916 in Flanders.
Love this song! I struggle to get through it singing with Joakim cus I tear up. BTW they do this style of end credits for their concerts too for their crew on the road.
Please check out also the original Motörhead version. Lemmy wrote a masterpiece with this. By the way, the drummer of Sabaton is married to Floor Jansen from Nightwish.
The guitarist Tommy Johanson has a his channel where he does covers of songs made to a metalversion,amazing,maybe you can react to Tommy,you wont regret it❤
Great reaction. U said "My war was different." So was mine, Brother. We all know how great Sabaton is at what they do. As an American, WW1 truly is Forgotten (we now hv a real National Memorial in Wash., DC). If interested in USA WW1 Sabaton songs, ck out "Devil Dogs" (abt the Marines at Belleau Wood), "82nd All the Way" (abt Sgt. York) & "The Lost Battalion" (abt The Lost Battalion of the 77th "Liberty" Division in the Argonne Forrest) & "Hellfighters" (abt the Harlem Hellfighters). Thanks for your Service!
I speak to the USA WW1 Sabaton songs as an American. I hv GREAT respect for our awesome Allies. I served alongside the Brits in Iraq for a short time. Very professional force.
First time I heard it I got tears in my eyes, such a powerful and meaningful song. Foremost the part when the cello kicks in, shivers all over! In the same category as Christmas Truce (Sabaton) and Wrong Side of Heaven (Five Finger Death Punch). Also teary eyes, even after seeing or hearing the songs multiple times. And a great reaction again Daniel.
I had the same reaction to that as the last scenes of blackadder 4. Heart breaking, poignant and respectful. Please check out some more motorhead or lemmy. The watcher is great
They have a history channel.also. Bismark is awesome, as are all of their songs, history lessons. If not said already, Floor Jansen is married to the drummer of Sabaton.
I'm so glad you're doing Sabaton. If you get to No Bullets Fly, get the Yarnhub version. It tells an amazing story, and the end just gets better and better. RIP Lemmy.
Welcome to the history channel disguised as music.
RIP lemmy and the soldiers
Can't wait until you get to "Christmas Truce". Sabaton has many songs that reaches in and touches something inside you. "Christmas Truce" did me in, the first time I watched it.
Sabaton should be applauded for doing justice to this Motorhead masterpiece 👏
That definitely kicks in…..hard!
That's what I love about Sabaton its about telling the story. No politics, No taking sides Just the story.
And F*** me they tell the stories well.
Rip Lemmy. Sabaton is carrying the flame 🔥. May we never forget. So we don’t repeat the horrors of the past.
The bus in the beginning.
Hammersmith 82, heavy Motörhead reference.
No sleep to Hammersmith.
