@@bauer90 it does for me to. But that frase in the English version. So much death because of money or something that might be nothing more then a fairy tale. It really makes one think
@@Dante84-t6w True, but the phrases "Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem" makes you really get perspective of how awful war is aswell as the line "gick ut i strid för sverige, blev döpt i blod" That line makes my bones shiver.
I am a Australian and a massive Sabaton fan, this is one of my favourite songs they sing. Massive Tommy Johansson fan. I’ve never seen your channel before ❤️🔥🤘🎸🇸🇪
They write songs about historic events. They also have a separate channel “Sabaton History” where they talk about the events/persons that inspired the songs.
Sabaton sings about war related history. En livstid i krig (a lifetime of war) is about a Swedish soldier in the 30 years war. The lyrics for the English version takes a broader picture of the conflict. This song is from the Carolus Rex album which was released in both Swedish and English. That album is about the rise and fall of the Swedish empire.
I don't even like metal, but still fell into the Sabaton rabbit hole because I'm interested in history. Sabaton is really a special rabbit hole because of the storytelling and movie-like music videos. Check, for example, their cover of mötorhead's "1916" (about the Battle of the Somme) or the animated story version of "no bullets fly" to name a few songs that touch your countrymen.
About time you divei nto the wonderful world of one of my favourite bands! Seen them live nine times and counting! They write about military history specifically. And with Sabaton you never have to worry about getting copyright strikes on a reaction video, they have fully embraced the reaction community!
Sabaton is a great band! I saw you reacted to Nightwish (also a great band) the same day. Fun fact, the drummer in Sabaton is married to the singer in Nightwish. I liked your reaction, please do more of this kind of stuff 👍
This swedish girl just LOVE Sabaton. This band has their own history channel here on RUclips as well so go and check that out. They did a great cover some time back on the Motörhead song 1916
They have a unique way of honoring the soldiers who fought and died without honoring the conflicts they fought in or the regimes they fought for. It’s a balance they do very well.
Sabaton is a deep rabbithole filled with awesome music. I see comments before me have explained what they are about, so I won't dig into that. I was there that evening, 10th row to the left, and every time I see this video, I get goosebumps. It was an epic night. You asked for more to watch from Sabaton, but also other artists, so I will give some suggestions. Sabaton The great war(music video), Ghost Division (live Woodstock) Tommy Johansson (the guy that played the solo) and his rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, She's gone(Steeleheart cover) Erik Grönwall I will always love you, Dream on Chris Kläfford; Imagine, Cold at the Altar, Tennesee Whiskey Helen Sjöholm Du måste finnas(video with eng subtitles) Tommy Körberg Anthem
Tommy Johansson, the lead guitarist, also plays the drums, piano and other instruments. Tommy also has a very good voice. His cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is epic. Check it out! 🎸
More Sabaton please, Im convinced this album especially the Swedish version is one of the greatest albums of all time spanning any genre, the lyrics are so deep, the music so epic, and the fact that its all based on real life events and not fantasy makes it hit so much harder. You should definitely listen to this entire album from start to finish, it tells a story in many parts, from the rise and fall of the swedish empire pretty much. You should also check out them playing 40:1 on woodstock infront of a crowd of approximately 1million people!
Great reaction to my favourite band!!🤘🇸🇪 As a Swede I feel very proud in moments like this🤗 When I went to my first ( been at 3 concerts and counting) Sabaton concert I went by myself. It wasn't hard finding friends there😄 And it was in Oslo, Norway, 2020. The same tour, with the same stage set, 2 days after this one. Sabaton actually had a sold out concert at the Wembley Arena in London that year! 😉 They make songs about military history. 2 latest albums are about the Great War. Check out their official music videos for "Christmas Truce", "Seven pillars of wisdom" and "1916" (Motörhead cover). Some British history there😊. If you dare, also check out the official lyric video for "Blood of Bannockburn". Sabaton also have a history channel on RUclips, Sabaton History, where they tell the story behind all of the songs. The host, Indy Nidell, is actually starring as Lawrence of Arabia in the music video for "Seven pillars of wisdom".
I saw sabaton live. That very concert. It was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen and the coolest thing I will ever do. It was so amazing I can’t even explain it
If you liked the guitar solo, it was played by Tommy Johansson (now a former band member), he sings good too and every friday he release a cover on his youtube channel, definately worth subscribing to. www.youtube.com/@ReinXeed Also, if you are doing more Sabaton reactions I can recommend the animated verson of their videos since they contain a prolog and epilog of the event, for example "No bullets fly". It is awesome. Sabaton are true history buffs, they also run "Sabaton history channel" on youtube. They do not take side in conflicts or trying to glorify, they just show what happened.
technically, only half of the solo was Tommy.... but meh, we get it... I will forever be loyal to the Chris army ;) Chris also play the drums, did you know that? :P
@@FemaleSniper86 Exactly! I love this video. My only regret is that Chris' solo isn't shown here. I knew he played the drums. And he's listed as writing some great Sabaton songs, such as Soldier of Heaven. The 80s synth intro was his idea too. He also is a graphic designer.
nice of you to look up Sabaton :) you are in for a ride :D they have tons of great songs and their music videos are something incredible :) if you want to know more about the songs and what they are about, Sabaton has their own history channel here on youtube :) be sure to check out Tommy Johansson here on youtube as well, he was lead guitar player in Sabaton but is now focusing on his own stuff :) for example his own band Majestica
I've been lurking around your channel for a while, so I was super excited to see you doing a reaction to this band. It's one of my absolute favorite bands, history nerd (and Swede) that I am. Great reaction! And yes, you hit the mark on all your guesses, Sabaton writes about military history and like a few people have mentioned already, this is about the 30 Year War, literally a lifetime of war for many young soldiers. There are so many great songs I can't even begin to recommend any, the list would be endless. But I hope you will do more reactions to the band and their amazing songs. If you're into history, also check out their history channel here on youtube, it provides some great backstory to the songs. The presenter, Indy, is a lot of fun and have starred in two of their music videos (Seven Pillars, and The Unkillable Soldier), both awesome songs and stories.
Great reaction and you have a lot of epic content to go through regarding Sabaton. They even have a history channel for most if not all songs where they go through the history of the event the songs are about.
I live in Gothenburg, I've seen Sabaton live like 6 times and I'm still a fan, but I missed this particular show. I don't know how, I just didn't know they were playing.
If you like Sabaton you will love the Swedish band “The Hives” you NEED to check out when they sing “Hate To Say I Told You So” live!! The guitar riff sounds amazing and it’s just an amazing song especially performed live!! I would recommend this live version of the song: ruclips.net/video/VKuQGo2iXx0/видео.htmlfeature=shared ENJOY!!!!🔥
I was there! What an epic live it was. They're playing indoors, Skandinavium, where they hold many concerts, musicals such as Disney On Ice, and most famously, it's the stadium for Gothenburg's hockey team, Frölunda. Sabaton is an amazing band to see live, they have such a fun and lively energy on stage and the crowd goes absolutely wild
Sabaton are certainly worth checking out live. In October of 2022 I saw them on back to back nights in Nashville and Atlanta. It was very much worth all of the driving. The opening band for those shows was Epica (another symphonic metal band with a female soprano lead, but with harsh male vocals as well) who are also worth checking into.
to add to the context of the crowd taking over the concert. Sabaton was performing in Gothenburg, Sweden, the home turf of Sabaton. if you look you can see Joakim (the lead singer) just fall quiet not knowing what to do and Thomas (one of the guitarists) having his mind blown
Sabaton is the greates Power Metal band ever. I have seen them live two times in my life. Would love to see them live again. I am so exited for the upcoming "Sabaton - The Tour To End All Tours” concert film that will have premiere in Sweden on the 11th of October.
Yes please do that. He is fantastic, great singer and play a lot of instruments. He is a really a one man band and he really love what he does. It is a aura of happiness around him ❤ You heard his solo here.
Im from Sweden and I was there for the recording of this. It was as epic as it sounds. The arena is Scandinavium in gothenburg and I believe it was around 10-12000 ppl there. Would love for you to react to some of their older stuff from Primo Victoria or Attero Dominatus.
According to the press, there were 10,766 people at this concert in the Scandinavium ice hockey arena just before Covid hit. The article is from 2020-02-14
It was just before we started with the restrictions here in Sweden due to Covid. Had tickets for 5 shows and 1 festival that year and this was the only one that happend.
Someone wrote the Ullevi stadium earlier, but that is wrong. They played in the Scandinavium stadium which take about 14000 ppl when they host sports and about 17000 ppl in concert mode.
I'm the Sabaton's fan :-) They are very clever "bards". They sing about the historic events from many countries and that's why they are loved all over the world but Europe mainly because of ww1 & ww2. They have songs with the Polish history which we are proud of (no actually such songs of our bands) and the fanbase of Sabaton is very strong here. 🙂
To think that Joakim joined first joined Sabaton as a keyboard player..then the band found themselves lacking a singer, he stepped up to fill the spot and to this day he says he is no professional singer. Just blows my mind. Fantastic reaction vid, I thoroughly enjoyed this. How many of the Sabaton Army in the comments?
Metal has a tendency to be tragic, sad, deep and personal lyric wise, but at the same time it’s like a relief of emotion to just be able to scream all of it together and know ur not alone. The metal community is extremely supportive and accepting of everyone even remotely interested in it, if u meet a true metal head and tell them like “hey I wanna go to a metal concert or a festival” they will most definitely just bring u along, make sure ur having a good time, show u around and tell u anything u wanna know. Good festivals with a LOT of huge bands are, Sweden Rock, Download Festival, Hellfest, Bloodstock open air and more.
Oh so FINALLY they get you to listen to our beautiful Sabaton music :) I am so happy! I hope you will listen to more of their music and go for a historic ride along with us ^^
Sabaton fan here, if you like this song you should check out some more from them! You are right about that they are singing about war and history. First time watching your channel. Great reaction! Love from Sweden
Sabaton are serious war historians. Check out their website where they give you an in-depth history lesson of the real history of events they sing about. It's so impressive!
Please react to more Sabaton!!!! They are amazing! There are soooo many types of Metal music. Sabaton plays a very melodic type of Power metal.....or History Metal as the band themselves preffer to call it
Making this video has invited the entire Saboton fan base to your channel, not gone lie, you probably will quite a few song Request 😅 One of my favourite songs is: The Valley of death.
If you're curious about swedish metal, you should absolutely check out more Sabaton! They have a 20 year catalogue of amazing songs to chose from. I first heard them in the early 2000's and I've been a huge fan ever since. And yes... this song is absolutely EPIC live. I've been in the audience singing my heart out to this song twice. They also make amazing music videos and a few recommendations are: 1916 - An amazing cover of an old Motörhead song Christmas truce - about the christmas truce of 1914 where the german and allied forces laid down their weapons to celebrate christmas together Bismarck - About the infamous german warship of the second world war No bullets fly (Animated story version) - An animated music video of a german fighter pilot who choose to show mercy during World War II I hope you decide to check out more Sabaton because they are absolutely fantastic. Rather than take sides, they sing about history and tell stories based on different perspectives during times of war. It's basically a history lesson in the form of music.
Sabaton sing about real history events. This song is about the 30 year war betwen Sweden Russia and some part of Germany from a Swedish solders veiw. And its in a inndoor stadium call Scandinavium
The band and song is already explained so I’m just gonna add… The war they sing about is the same war that made the Swedes build the Vasa ship you just reacted to. Fun and happy coincident! 😊 Ps I’m not a metal fan but Living in Sweden (and Finland too ofc) metal is huge and I work with at least 3 metal heads so I’ve heard a few songs for sure. From what little I know I can say I think Sabaton is an amazing band.
If you’re looking for a Swedish banger to react to performed by our Swedish Queen Zara Larsson you should check out “Ain’t My Fault” it’s a banger for sure!! Link to the video here: ruclips.net/video/eC-F_VZ2T1c/видео.htmlfeature=shared
You should absolutely react to Tommy Johansson (the one doing the guitar solo) He has his own You Tube channel and is an awesome musician with one of the best voices in the world.
I love that their lyrics are portaying the war from the grassroot's point of view. What the common man, being drafted, is to endure. Same today. The only exception is our beloved king Karl XII, who lived among his men and shared the same conditions. That is why he is the most beloved king in our history.
Sabaton fan for 20 years here... with many other bands I have songs, I really don't like.. sure, I do have songs, I love more than others from Sabaton.. but songs I realyl don't like at all? Not so far... keep going down that HUGE rabbithole and if I may suggest, check out the Sabaton history channel, too, if you want to know more about the background of the songs, in a fun and interesting way. Greetings from Germany, keep on rocking!
Now you have listening to Sabaton. Now you must listening to Our Tommy Johansson who was a guitarist in that band. He does very, very good covers. He makes them metal like ABBAs "The winner takes it all". Its a must! 😊

Yes, Sabaton is all about history. The Swedish version of "A Lifetime of War" is about (Swedish) soldiers' experience in the 30 year war 1618 - 1648.
There is one part that hits harder in the English version.
The frase
Religion and greed cause millions to bleed.
It hits deep.
@@Dante84-t6w I might be biased but the swedish version hits 10 times harder for me
@@bauer90 it does for me to. But that frase in the English version. So much death because of money or something that might be nothing more then a fairy tale.

You have to react to "Christmas truce" by Sabaton! its one of there best songs ever!

The drummer of Sabaton is Floor Jansen's husband (Nightwish singer),,😎
You are absolutely correct. You've just opened up a box of goodies my friend. There is much to discover here. Welcome.
If you haven't already check out the animated story video for Night Witches. The last part always gets me.

1916 - An amazing cover of an old Motörhead song
Christmas truce - about the christmas truce of 1914 where the german and allied forces laid down their weapons to celebrate christmas together
Bismarck - About the infamous german warship of the second world war
No bullets fly (Animated story version) - An animated music video of a german fighter pilot who choose to show mercy during World War II
I hope you decide to check out more Sabaton because they are absolutely fantastic. Rather than take sides, they sing about history and tell stories based on different perspectives during times of war. It's basically a history lesson in the form of music.
Sabaton sing about real history events. This song is about the 30 year war betwen Sweden Russia and some part of Germany from a Swedish solders veiw. And its in a inndoor stadium call Scandinavium
Well, not Russia. Sweden against Poland and about the rest of continental Europe...
But unusually enough not Denmark and Russia.
The song is about the 30 year war when Sweden had to defend the german protestant against the catholic oppression
The band and song is already explained so I’m just gonna add… The war they sing about is the same war that made the Swedes build the Vasa ship you just reacted to. Fun and happy coincident! 😊
Ps I’m not a metal fan but Living in Sweden (and Finland too ofc) metal is huge and I work with at least 3 metal heads so I’ve heard a few songs for sure. From what little I know I can say I think Sabaton is an amazing band.
They also have songs about Finland wars/War heroes🇫🇮 (Talvisota, Soldier of 3 armies, White Death)
Welcome to the Sabaton rabbit-hole, this is a Sabaton reaction channel now...
this is just the best ever!!
Fun Fact: The drummer, Hannes Van Dahl, is actually the husband of Nightwish lead singer, Floor Jansen, whom you reacted to in the previous video. :)
If you’re looking for a Swedish banger to react to performed by our Swedish Queen Zara Larsson you should check out “Ain’t My Fault” it’s a banger for sure!! Link to the video here: ruclips.net/video/eC-F_VZ2T1c/видео.htmlfeature=shared
we love them !!
I Whold recommend all Sabaton animated versions to watch they tell more of the story of the song.
You should absolutely react to Tommy Johansson (the one doing the guitar solo) He has his own You Tube channel and is an awesome musician with one of the best voices in the world.
It is never too late to become a metalhead.
in Poland festival Joachim said that the number of the public ( 560k) will make them the second biggest city in Sweden
check they're history channel
You're epic, my friend. That enthusiasm... ;))
They sing about the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) .. Where Sweden became a great power
2 other really good songs of Sabaton is "1916" and "No Bullets Fly".
I think you would like 1916 cause is about Brittish WW1 history.
I love that their lyrics are portaying the war from the grassroot's point of view. What the common man, being drafted, is to endure. Same today.
The only exception is our beloved king Karl XII, who lived among his men and shared the same conditions. That is why he is the most beloved king in our history.
Sabaton fan for 20 years here... with many other bands I have songs, I really don't like.. sure, I do have songs, I love more than others from Sabaton.. but songs I realyl don't like at all? Not so far... keep going down that HUGE rabbithole and if I may suggest, check out the Sabaton history channel, too, if you want to know more about the background of the songs, in a fun and interesting way. Greetings from Germany, keep on rocking!
Now you have listening to Sabaton. Now you must listening to Our Tommy Johansson who was a guitarist in that band. He does very, very good covers. He makes them metal like ABBAs "The winner takes it all". Its a must! 😊
I love Sabaton, my favourite song is “The Last Stand”.🇸🇪🇸🇪
awesome, this is what I've been waiting for 🤘🤘🤘
I can honestly recommend a Sabaton concert, they are quite good, iirc their highest audience number was in the 500 000 range
Epic band, epic song, epic reaction!! Thank you!!
You shoud react to Christmas Truce (Sabaton). Great song and a fantastic video.
No Bullets Fly. If you don't get chills out of that...
Or basically any Sabaton track really.
En Livstid I Krig = A Lifetime In War.
There is a English version of this song too called A Lifetime Of War.
No bullets fly and Christmas truce might be a good choice to follow this up.Great reaction brother ❤
Wow, that's a powerful crowd, I wan't be there 🤩
Totally epic. Price of a mile. One most sad songs ever but yes it's about war.
U should watch Woodstock 40:1
