Well, technically a tank is one tank... So having two is having some tanks which is not a tank, so he answers no to "does he have a tank?" because he has more than a tank, or one tank as I stated earlier and more than a tank is not a tank. In short, he said no because he can.

War is fought for a few main purposes. The first being to exploit another group of people, the second being to fight against being exploited, and the third being to fight for survival when the resources essential to survival are scarce, but you don’t see war being fought for the last purpose as often in the modern world. There are things societies can do to lower their rates of exploitation, but it should never be forgotten that it is part of human nature to wish to exploit others, and exploitation will remain an aspect of human life for as long as humans exist. A world without war is a world that must be rampant with slavery, since slaves have the most difficult time rebelling due to their lack of wealth and knowledge, including the knowledge that they are being exploited in the first place, and their lack of mental and physical fortitude.

"Does Sabaton glorify war?" I think they glorify those who fought and died in war if anything while condemning war and those who were truly evil. Glorifying soldiers: Cliffs of Gallipoli, the entirety of the Heros album, The Last Stand album, Light in the Black, Uprising, Saboteurs. Condemning war and evil: Rise of Evil, The Final Solution, A Lifetime of War (literally about how war was bad), In the Name of God, Stalingrad, The Price of a Mile, Great War, The End of the War to End War. The lists go on. Sabaton do NOT glorify war. They are a very neutral party in those regards.

Stephen Hancock I mean the world starts to be anti-religious, I think it's a bad thing because everybody should have the rght to belive what he wants whitout pushing it down peoples throat.
@@randomhalf-mapplesiruphalf1666 I said "non-religious", not "anti-religious". They aren't pushing Athiesm by any means, although, members of the band have stated they are Athiest. The band portrays Christianity in a very positive light. In my opinion, due to the historical figures they cover, and what they believed in. I appreciate their positive coverage of Christians, even if in conflict with the the band's own personal beliefs.
@@stephenhancock1578 I'm an atheist, and I sing along with "The Last Stand" like everybody else. The song isn't about glorifying God (or any of that "Deus Vult" crusade nonsense), but about the heroes, the 189, and their story. Whenever it shows up in their songs, Christianity is merely a plot device.
@@stephenhancock1578 They actually do trash Christianity, though indirectly, in "A Lifetime of War." "Religion and greed cause millions to bleed." There have been many conflicts since the Protestant Reformation, all the way up to the Irish "Troubles" in the 1970's, where the battle lines between the ostensibly "political" forces could be distinguished just as clearly by the simple difference of which sect of Christianity they profess. That's not the kind of distinction you can ignore, because whether or not religion itself is the motivation, the parishioners on both sides will be praying just as fervently for their own victory while decrying the heretics of the other side. Much like the Crusades, the 30 years war was motivated by political conquest in the name of religion, with lines like from the Catholic ArchDuke of Graz, "I would rather make a desert of this country, than rule over heretics," by which he meant Protestants.
I love how all the people behind famous metal bands, you expect them to be these hardcore guys and then then you see these interviews where they are just really nice friendly and likeably people
*Is Sabaton Christian metal?* Joakim: Nope Joakim's song: FOR THE GRACE, FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD! I can kinda see how someone might get the impression.
To be fair, they sing about historical events.. the majority of history revolves around religion; whether they are religious or not, the history is. So they sing about it
@@MsPandacakes I know, I'm not saying that they're religious, just that someone who doesn't know them could be fooled by a few of the songs into thinking that they're Christian metal.
"We're musicians, what do we know about politics? listen to smarter people than us." OH MY GOD. OH MY GOOOOD. CAN I LIKE A VIDEO MORE THAN ONCE? CAN I LIKE A VIDEO 50 MILLION TIMES?! Hooollyy crap that is an amazing statement.
@@justjoe5373 Pride of a nation, a beast made of steel Bismarck in motion, king of the ocean He was made to... LET ME SHOW YOU IT'S FEATURES HA HA HA HA HA HA
3:20 Joakim says exactly why sabaton has some of my favorite artists out there right now. You don't know politics, you don't know science. Having an opinion is fine but don't preach like your some savant. Stick to what you know
Yes I don’t wanna hear oh my god this movie has one semi homophobic joke that was only for comedic purposes and not to offend or Forced representation or force opinions on other people anyways I agree
They might know science since some of them have STEM degrees and maybe politics since everyone is involved in it in a democracy or representative democracy in a republic. Thus needing for participation. Whether They are experts or at least any decent, you be the judge.
"we're musicians what do we know about politics listen to smarter people than us" Now if only we had more Joakims in the music industry and the world in general ... :)
Respect from Japan. Nowadays every celebrity, sports player etc., push their political views. Joakim seems to be a very down to earth humble person. He's focusing on what he's good at, making great music and teaching us forgotten history, not virtue signaling and keeps his political views for himself when he casts the ballot. This is soooo rare nowadays. I think when most people hear the band name first time they connect to to Sabbath, and that's why they ask of Christian or Satanic connections.
3:28 Their songs are on the whole very simple and mostly follow the familiar theme of boy-being meets girl-being beneath silvery moon, (which then explodes for no adequately explored reason)
"Many worlds have now banned their act altogether, sometimes for artistic reasons, but most commonly because the band’s public address system contravenes local strategic arms limitation treaties." :P
*Such good answers from one of the greatest bands living. And I salute their desire to remember and remind, of HISTORY!!! So many of today's 'public education / indoctrination centers' refuse to teach history unless it is to drive an agenda. I recall an English "activist' who wanted schools to stop teaching about WWI and WWII !!!! Because it was frightening and depressing!!!!! Thank God for SABATON, creating great music and hopefully, inspiring many fans to study and learn the history behind the songs!!!!*
To be honest, I'm glad Joakim answered some of the questions the way he did. Stories that shouldn't be forgotten, as well as so many stories that were lost to most of history being brought back to light by them. Back in high school you never learned about battles like Osoweic and The Lost Battalion, simply for the fact that it wasn't a major American battle. I'm so glad they're popular, they've refired my interest in historical militaries and strategy.
This is probably the best view about politics you can have as a celebrity. You shouldn't force your opinion on people just because you have the influence to do so, and I respect each and every person who understands that
Joakim: We're musicians! What do we know about politics? Listen to smarter people than us! Green day, Eminem, Katy Perry, Halsey and friends: No I think I will not
I mean tbf at least when it comes to green day they often straddle the line between pop rock and punk. Punk as a genre is inherently political, if a punk band didn't get political from time to time then their doing something wrong.
They mean in their overarching message, they have no political or religious agenda behind it. They tell REAL stories, and real stories have religious and political messages
"We're not politician, listen to smarter people then us" That's quite an understatement. Sabaton (or at least Joakim) is actually a pretty smart guy imho. He's the type of guy you can empty a keg of beer AND have deep philosophical talks with. AND: these days i don't trust politicians. Sorry to say this. There are few with integrity but today most of them are "utterly misguided and self-interested" (quote by Sir Patrick Stewart)

The lists go on. Sabaton do NOT glorify war. They are a very neutral party in those regards.
Yes exactly! They either condemn war or glorify the tighters
I guess it can be summarised by: They condemn war but they glorify heroic, brave and honourable actions in those wars.
Also a lot of the Great War album glorifies soldiers and condemns war
Ah I see your a man of brain cells as well
I'm a U.S. Marine Combat Veteran, and (at the risk of sounding fanatical) I'm extremely/constantly motivated, and inspired by your work! NAILED IT!!! FUCKING NAILED IT!! Love it!! Love everything about it, and totally agree!! My fiance, and I are huge fans! We gotta come see you guys Live, and we're bringing the whole family!!! From all of us, we wish you all the best!!!
“We’ll leave politics to smarter people,” I’ve heard that’s a wink wink.
The problem is that the wise tend to question themselves rather than blurt their ignorance from the mountiantop.
I died during half of this video because I just love Joakim. And his accent. And his laugh. Basically everything about him is something I love.
Haha the accent is so Swedish, but totally cute 🙈😂
Yo helmet
Then ask him to date
Thank you for being non-religious and non-political in a world brimming with it. You guys are bad ass, I love your concerts, and Im proud you're my favorite band.
Stephen Hancock I mean the world starts to be anti-religious, I think it's a bad thing because everybody should have the rght to belive what he wants whitout pushing it down peoples throat.
@@randomhalf-mapplesiruphalf1666 I said "non-religious", not "anti-religious". They aren't pushing Athiesm by any means, although, members of the band have stated they are Athiest. The band portrays Christianity in a very positive light. In my opinion, due to the historical figures they cover, and what they believed in. I appreciate their positive coverage of Christians, even if in conflict with the the band's own personal beliefs.
@@stephenhancock1578 I'm an atheist, and I sing along with "The Last Stand" like everybody else. The song isn't about glorifying God (or any of that "Deus Vult" crusade nonsense), but about the heroes, the 189, and their story. Whenever it shows up in their songs, Christianity is merely a plot device.
@@BlackEpyon They aren't trashing Christianity are they? That's what I said, and you could say that war is also a plot device.
@@stephenhancock1578 They actually do trash Christianity, though indirectly, in "A Lifetime of War."
"Religion and greed cause millions to bleed."
There have been many conflicts since the Protestant Reformation, all the way up to the Irish "Troubles" in the 1970's, where the battle lines between the ostensibly "political" forces could be distinguished just as clearly by the simple difference of which sect of Christianity they profess. That's not the kind of distinction you can ignore, because whether or not religion itself is the motivation, the parishioners on both sides will be praying just as fervently for their own victory while decrying the heretics of the other side. Much like the Crusades, the 30 years war was motivated by political conquest in the name of religion, with lines like from the Catholic ArchDuke of Graz, "I would rather make a desert of this country, than rule over heretics," by which he meant Protestants.
I love how all the people behind famous metal bands, you expect them to be these hardcore guys and then then you see these interviews where they are just really nice friendly and likeably people
*Is Sabaton Christian metal?*
Joakim: Nope
Joakim's song: FOR THE GRACE, FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD!
I can kinda see how someone might get the impression.
ThejollyFrenchman have you heard the begginins of Sabaton? really, different vibe
To be fair, they sing about historical events.. the majority of history revolves around religion; whether they are religious or not, the history is. So they sing about it
@@MsPandacakes I know, I'm not saying that they're religious, just that someone who doesn't know them could be fooled by a few of the songs into thinking that they're Christian metal.
Gotta Mitt Uns
Also joakim’s song: BURN YOUR CROSSES AND MAKE WAY FOR YOURSELVES!
"What are sabaton songs about?" "Mostly love and relationships"
True. Very true.
Cries in Für immer
Love for panzers and a relationship with some ship?
@@m.s.8927 those damned Nippon-jin sure make that shit
Cracks me up! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH!
Sabaton is a perfect band
What Sabaton Song Jocke is?
I thought of Metal Machine xD
same :)))
I was thinking either Metal Machine or Panzerkampf. If he sings any more songs about Tanks, he's going to become one! 🤘😁🍺
I would've said Swedish Pagans (due to the big running joke)
Yep same here
I might say To Hell And Back or Midway or Far From The Fame.
"What Sabaton song am I?"
THE LION FROM THE NORTH OF COURSE
"All of them; I sing them all!"
-Does Sabaton use autotune?
Joakim: No. Because were actually good at music.
"We believe these stories should not be forgotten" and this is why I love Sabaton great band + great music + great passion = legendary God status
I AGREE! These are Mighty Warriors of God! Great fan following! Saving a lot of souls along the way!
“Why make up stories”
Glory hammer has entered the chat
this may be true but at least glory hammer has a better plot than most modern movies lol
that perfect, dry "no. why?" answer to the "does sabaton use autotune?" question is just a big smack in allmost every modern pop artists face :D
I met this guy, hung out with him and a few fans for about 20 minutes after a show. This dude is super nice, and cool AF. :)
"We're musicians, what do we know about politics? listen to smarter people than us." OH MY GOD. OH MY GOOOOD. CAN I LIKE A VIDEO MORE THAN ONCE? CAN I LIKE A VIDEO 50 MILLION TIMES?! Hooollyy crap that is an amazing statement.
Hollywood and idiot celebrities rage quit the stage*
Shut up your annoying
3:06 where did joerg sprave come from all of the sudden
Now that you pointed that out I can't stop imagining them together in a video

Joakim says exactly why sabaton has some of my favorite artists out there right now.
You don't know politics, you don't know science. Having an opinion is fine but don't preach like your some savant.
Stick to what you know
Amen to that ;)
Yes I don’t wanna hear oh my god this movie has one semi homophobic joke that was only for comedic purposes and not to offend or
Forced representation or force opinions on other people anyways I agree
They might know science since some of them have STEM degrees and maybe politics since everyone is involved in it in a democracy or representative democracy in a republic. Thus needing for participation. Whether They are experts or at least any decent, you be the judge.
"Does Sabaton have a bus dedicated to spare pants for Joakim?"
Yea ever since Bismarck this man has been known to beat his leg mercilessly for some reason
“Does Sabaton own a tank? Uh, no. We’ve got two.”
GHOST DIVISION INTENSIFIES
"And we don't think these stories should be forgotten."
Amen, brother. History needs to be taught, so the mistakes will never be repeated.
"we're musicians what do we know about politics listen to smarter people than us"
Now if only we had more Joakims in the music industry and the world in general ... :)
Everyone: "Metal is all about violence, drugs, alcohol, sex and worshipping Satan"
Sabaton: 1:12
2:43
He just burn the whole pop industry
Joaquim is so fun! Thanks for the interview!
"Our song are Usually about relationship and love"
Me: yes
"We're Musicians. What do we know about politics? Listen to smarter people than us."
Welp, you heard it here first, folks.
Respect from Japan. Nowadays every celebrity, sports player etc., push their political views. Joakim seems to be a very down to earth humble person. He's focusing on what he's good at, making great music and teaching us forgotten history, not virtue signaling and keeps his political views for himself when he casts the ballot. This is soooo rare nowadays. I think when most people hear the band name first time they connect to to Sabbath, and that's why they ask of Christian or Satanic connections.
I wonder if this man is aware of how much joy he has spread in the world
I barely know a few things about Sabaton and i already love this man's answers and witty sense of humor
3:28 Their songs are on the whole very simple and mostly follow the familiar theme of boy-being meets girl-being beneath silvery moon, (which then explodes for no adequately explored reason)
"Many worlds have now banned their act altogether, sometimes for artistic reasons, but most commonly because the band’s public address system contravenes local strategic arms limitation treaties." :P
If only more celebrities would follow Joakim's "We're musicians. What do we know about politics?" philosophy.
This is one of the best interviews I've seen, you should do this with more bands and different band members 😀😎
"none of us can buy a Ferrari"
*HAS TWO GODAMN TANKS*
*Such good answers from one of the greatest bands living. And I salute their desire to remember and remind, of HISTORY!!! So many of today's 'public education / indoctrination centers' refuse to teach history unless it is to drive an agenda. I recall an English "activist' who wanted schools to stop teaching about WWI and WWII !!!! Because it was frightening and depressing!!!!! Thank God for SABATON, creating great music and hopefully, inspiring many fans to study and learn the history behind the songs!!!!*
To be honest, I'm glad Joakim answered some of the questions the way he did. Stories that shouldn't be forgotten, as well as so many stories that were lost to most of history being brought back to light by them. Back in high school you never learned about battles like Osoweic and The Lost Battalion, simply for the fact that it wasn't a major American battle. I'm so glad they're popular, they've refired my interest in historical militaries and strategy.
Amen!
They forgot the most important question." How does he take care of his knees ?"
I agree with you Joakim! Sabaton is an Excelent Band!!! 🤘😎🤘
"no we don't have political or religious message"
People in Facebook after they use the last stand alot
FOR THE GRACE FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD!
@@zeppelinled3967 IN THE NAME OF HIS GLORY
@@AlexGNR FOR THE FAITH, FOR THE WAY OF THE SWORD
They have a song called burn your crosses
@@aonghasmacaghobhainn2322 GAVE THEIR LIVES SO BOLDLY
I Really Love History about All the Wars and the Events That Happened But these People take that Interest to a Whole Other Level
sabaton are legends for staying apolitical in this day and age and i 100% love them for that
They seem like such chill dudes, would love to have a beer with them sometime
Joakim didn't know what song he was
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRI-
... awww :(
sabatons actually the reason im studying more about ww2
This is probably the best view about politics you can have as a celebrity. You shouldn't force your opinion on people just because you have the influence to do so, and I respect each and every person who understands that
Det finns så många fantastiska historier att berätta så varför i he---e skulle vi hitta på nya ! Älskar svaret och respekten till historiken !
Joakim: We're musicians! What do we know about politics? Listen to smarter people than us!
Green day, Eminem, Katy Perry, Halsey and friends: No I think I will not
But Green Day is awesome
Don't forget Rage Against the Machine
Well, Green Day seems to be more satirical about it, but that's just me.
Also, WHAT IS THAT PFP?!
I mean tbf at least when it comes to green day they often straddle the line between pop rock and punk. Punk as a genre is inherently political, if a punk band didn't get political from time to time then their doing something wrong.
@@dexter2392 they are, not putting them down
The moment when he read Autotune 😂😂😂 LOL He had to touch the sheet of paper ahaha
He seemed offended and hurt by that one.
"Does Sabaton own a tank?"
"No."
Me: *ANGERY*
"We own 2."
Me: *happi*
"Usually about relationships and love." The album cover behind him
"we simply love history" perfect
Me who loves the lyrics beat style message and history representation correctly
Sabaton: "we are nonreligious or political in our music."
Also Sabaton: "IN THE NAME OF GOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD!"
They mean in their overarching message, they have no political or religious agenda behind it. They tell REAL stories, and real stories have religious and political messages
“I WAS CHOSEN BY HEAVEN”
@@toasterofdoom9629 not a whole lot of hindu, islamic, or other religious mentions in many other songs
@@crimbus03 That's because most of the stuff they sing about is from Europe, and that's because they are from Europe...
Also There Is Old "Burn Your Crosses" :P
People on google: "Does Sabaton glorify war?"
Me, an American: "Oh this is gonna be great"
"We're not politician, listen to smarter people then us"
That's quite an understatement. Sabaton (or at least Joakim) is actually a pretty smart guy imho.
He's the type of guy you can empty a keg of beer AND have deep philosophical talks with.
AND: these days i don't trust politicians. Sorry to say this. There are few with integrity but today most of them are "utterly misguided and self-interested" (quote by Sir Patrick Stewart)
He's smart enough to stay away from politics
Wish this was longer
Found Sabaton by accident watching a RUclips truck driver's channel. Now I'm hooked on Sabaton!!
I finally got my Teenage kids to listen to Sabaton, now they make me play it full volume in the car :)
3:40 What he said!
2:16 im prettty sure those 2 questions were by moms
someone listened to 7734 a little too much
The fact that they even named their tanks warms my heart.
on screen: hard man
real life: friendly af
