Can we please talk about "Diggy diggy hole" playing in the background, right at the beginning? Great!
So I didn’t imagine it!
Wind rose from Italy. Album Wintersaga
Yogscast, you uncultured swines
Joakim with hair is the scariest sight ever. They look like a Metallica cover band in that performance
I was thinking Dollar Store Judas Priest lmfao
Could you enter my Metallica tribute band? Please enter sandman
12:27 That's because you've been spoiled by Sabaton as a continent-sweeping powerhouse, but bands don't start that way. Sometimes they start as a bunch of awkward metalheads who just want to play cool shit, and then accidentally stumble upon something rare and unique that ends up turning them INTO a continent-sweeping powerhouse.
You've also now unlocked permission to watch Sabaton memes... Cuz Meme-o Victoria is the most popular one lol.
Does it really beat the arrival of the Winged Hussars?
BUT THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
Yeah I saw them live in a very small venue with just around 100-150 people back in the day. Joakim started off the show with telling us they had no setlist - Just scream out the songs you want and we'll play them xD
Joakim still looks like he can't quite believe how popular they are (and is *super* stoked about it) whenever they'd playing live.
"... diggy diggy hole... diggy diggy hole... "
its a Washburn HM-5V 1985 White Shout Out Tank took me awhile
Wow nice job man!
How did you even figure that out?😂 respect!
@@andrelindgard3439 asked a friend who has some guitars and he was sure it was a washburn so started to go throu some models took about 2 hours =D
After seeing the old performance, seeing Tank a little teary and Joakim's huge smile is just amazing
I dont like this song that much, but watching Joakim with "business in front, party at the back" mullet totally worth it.
to think they managed to go from a handful of people in 2005 to the ocean at woodstock poland in only a matter of years is insane. to think those guys if off the rack leather would go on to double stage wacken is just mindblowing.
It was around 3000 people at that stage.
In the end it was 5000 people at the smallest stage.
Something I find really striking about this -- putting myself in Joakim's shoes, for example. Can you imagine being out on to the stage 7 years after that 2005 show, to perform the same song, looking out over a sea of 550k people? They all look so happy. I don't know if this was Sabaton's first "big" headlining show (probably not), perhaps they had already "made it" before this, but it still must have been so surreal for them.
The way Joakim's grinning, I don't think it matters if it's their first "big" headlining show or not. He's in absolute *awe.*
This song is my ringtone for unknown numbers, so when i get a call i just hear Joakim yelling" through the gates of hell"
Hahahaha
Swede here! I first saw sabaton at sweden rock festival at 2008. Did not know who They were and decided to sit in the grass some distance away. But That fucking energy man.... sucked me right in, and before i knew it i was standing in the crowd jumping my ass off! I dont listen to sabaton at home, but every chance to see them live ... im There. You have to be there. Jumping in that crowd. Feeling Joakims energy and happiness that he sends out! Best live band ever! Glad to see you do this one, my favourite live song! Keep it up! Love your reactions ❤️❤️
Is it just me or toward the beginning of the second video Tank just went from a “calm” adult to a “overexcited” kid in second
I love seeing this one next to a more recent performance to see how their performance has progressed. Not just their gear and production has increased, but you can see such a massive difference in Joakim's performance. His diction and stage presence are on a whole different level now. It lets you really appreciate how much they've progressed.
Joakim has massively improved stage presence but in my opinnion vocals had a bit more edge at the earlier version. But ofc all in all the more recent version is much better. :)
@@Hellowenisti86 I prefer the clearer diction. To my mind, it work better for actually telling the stories of the songs, and the clarity with which he manages to communicate is very impressive given his lack of formal training and that most of the time he's not even singing in his native language.
@@tyrannosaurusrhett Agreed I do prefer that direction aswell. But just wanted to point out that there were something good also in older version and might be that Joakim could not sing anymore with such way. :)
@@Hellowenisti86 Well, he used to be a smoker, and maybe that has something to do with it. A lot of people who smoke develop a kind of roughness to their voice, but if they give it up, that will become less over time due to healing from the smoke damage. It could be that it's just no longer a quality of his voice because of that.
@@tyrannosaurusrhett You could be right! Can't wait for their next adveture to the style of Carlus Rex! :)
Don't diss the hair too badly. He can't help it; it's cultural. It's such a cliché that in Denmark, to this day, we call mullets 'svenskerhår' or 'Swedish hair' in English. Although, to be fair, I think that expression comes from the eighties, so I don't know... I do prefer the current getup.
First Sabaton song I ever heard. Def still my favorite one! You nailed it with that chorus just being killer!
PRIMOOOOOO VICTORIA!
Soooooooo damn good!
and Par is still smiling! ALL THE TIME! This was great to see haha! Loved it
Everyone came from humble beginnings Metallica started out playing clubs and looking at this video where they started to where they're at now Sabaton did pretty well for themselves
P.S I knew when you showed the Woodstock performance you'll get hit hard
I'm so old that I attended that 2005 concert. This was my very first year at SRF. I went there to see Dream Theater, Rob Rock, Therion, and Yngwie Malmsteen. Some of the other bands that played that year were Accept, Angra, Anthrax, Megadeth, Motörhead, Within Temptation, Behemoth, Hammerfall, Kansas, Dio, Mötley Crüe and Pagan's Mind.
I think I watched their gig from a bit of distance, since I never heard about them before. They've come so far since then, and they deserve all their success from all their hard work for over 20 years.
What a lineup! I bet that was a blast!
Was lucky enough to see Sabaton twice (around 2008) when they were still playing in smaller locations compared to now. Just in a small space with a couple hundred people. To this day these concerts are under my absolute favorite concert experiances. The whole band makes the crowd feel so welcome and part of the performance. In one of these concerts Joakim inveted a litte boy on stage (probably between 10 and 14 years old) who was on his first metal concert with his dad. Then they played another song with the boy on stage having a great time.
The next concert Joakim saw a guy in the crowd wearing a jacket exactly like his. He invited him on stage and actually traded jackets with him. You could really feel how they were having a good time and enjoying being on stage. This is what really made me fall in love with the band.
Love the Wind Rose - Diggy Diggy Hole playing during the intro :)
The one thing that I love, and that is especially obvious on the second live: they are having the blast of their lives at each performance. It's incredible to see, and I personally think that this might be why we get so excited when we hear and see them: their positive energy just blows through
Great reaction! When I see the 2005 performance years ago it was so funny and awesome seen Sabaton in those years and watch how diferent is to the 2012 and current Sabaton... Hard work and dedication pays off that's for sure! Great work Tank! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
that crowd at woodstock + sabaton....chills and chills wait till u see the price of a mile...
2 Sabaton songs I recommend are “Price of a Mile” and “Aces in Exile”.
Aces in exile is a must
I get chills when i listen to Aces in Exile as well as Union (Slopes of St Benedict). Its all the Allies fighting and dying together.
@@earendilthemariner5546 me too. Because my grandfather fought in the Battle of Monte Cassino in 2nd Polish Corps
Price of a Mile is brutal on the emotions.
When I saw Joakim's hair it was all I could see and those tiny sunglasses.😐 Thank for the great reaction Tank absolutely loved it. 🤘😁🤘💜
In Germany they are called "Noch ein Bier" and I find it hilarious :-D
I remember this performance they were going to play Gott Mit Uns but changed it up by saying instead of Gott Mit Uns they said Noch en Bier
Joakim and Par have said in interviews they had the song written but didn't have lyrics, but when they were wtaching Saving Private Ryan it hit them they could write a song about it. Then it hit them they could write all of their songs about war and history and now here we are.
Cliffs of Gallipoli is still my favorite, actually that and Angels Calling with Apocolyptica.
Tank, I'm afraid you weren't listening. Joakim said "Jump!" not "Headbang!"😁. Keep them coming, great work. And in two weeks we're expecting fan favourite: To hell and back or The Winged Hussars
CROSSES GROW ON ANZIOOOOOOO
🤘😎🤘
I am somewhere in that crowd at Sweden Rock 2005. First time I saw them live and it is really fun to have seen them that early. Who could now how far they would have come 16 years later. The next time I saw them at Sweden Rock was 2016 when they headlined the entire festival.
I was actually at the first version you reacted to. Sweden Rock Festival was a huge deal back then, if you were into metal. I had gotten my driver's license around that time and was blasting that album in my car, so I was super pumped to watch them live. But, yeah, in hindsight - maybe not the most epic performance. XD
Van Canto’s cover is great,. Might see someone familiar.
That would be an interesting video, but not a lot of gear for Tank to talk about ;)
@@weirdguybr Was just mentioning a group/band he might not know.
They did some good Manowar covers, and that'd be a segue to them for Tank. :)
@@weirdguybr HAHAHA " hmm yes I see that some of the bandmemeber actually use a mouth "
@@weirdguybr a lot of gears 😂😂
I've been begging him to do a gear reaction to van canto!
Watch the van Canto version of this song that features Joakim.
Usually Primo Victoria goes along with Joakim requesting the crowd to jump. Thousands of people jumping around you is so energizing and makes for an even greater experience. :)
For example you can hear him saying "Jump" at 13:42 and basically every time before the chorus
Hi Tank, thanks for your great reaction videos and insights. As well as introducing me to many awesome bands.
Thanks to your and of cause Chases videos I purchased more music in the last few month then in all the last years before.
But when to support artists, if not in the current situation.
That is awesome! I’m glad you’re getting into so much music and thank you for watching these videos!
Pär said Primo Victoria is still his favorite song.
Makes sense. It definitely is part of the foundation of what they've become.
If I had to pick the most Sabaton sounding Sabaton song that's ever been written by Sabaton it would be Primo Victoria, so I can't blame him
Didn't he say it was his favourite to play live?
Best day of week made even better by having Diggy Diggy Hole as the intro song haha!
Also check out Civil War of you haven't already, their song Bay of Pigs is great!
For me, after listening to many of sabaton stuff, my favorite album is the great war album. I love every song off of it. I don't think they have worsened or got more formulaic over time.
For all that they look young, and “battle of the bands” metalheadish, they still had enough of a following that people in the audience know the lyrics enough to sing along, and there’s a “panzer battalion” flag in the crowd.
I don’t know if you ever have played the game “world of tanks”? (Well you should regarding your name). Sabaton is co-working with the company in many ways and they actually have a special tank in the game that “belongs to sabaton” and it is named “primo victoria”. Great reaction as always 💪🏻🇸🇪
That concert from 2005 was the first time I saw them played. I had never heard of them before, but i instantly became i fan. I remember telling my friends that i've discovered a new band and how impressed i was with so many members singing. Been a fan since then. Fun to see live pictures from that concert.
Me and some friends stood at the front screaming "OSKAR! VART HAR DU GÖMT SKATTEN OSKAR!"
That first version seemed RUSHED. I think that's the main thing that bugged me about it. It makes sense, though, given how young of a band they were. Even bands that have been together for a long time can have pacing issues.
I Love your reaction to the preformance from Woodstock 😁😁 It's just the right feeling you get when they play 💪💥🤘
I remember seeing them live in 2008, they had established their look by then so it seems a lot happened between 05-08.
Aw man, Primo Victoria might not be my favorite Sabaton song. But it IS the first song I ever heard from them, so it will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks for the reaction Tank! Looking forward to the next one.
I,ve seen them live twice on the Aland Islands at a small place called Dinos Bar. Fun fact, when I talked to the band members they asked me if I knew a guy who had moved from the Aland Islands to Falun. Yep I knew and I am a friend of said guy. When Sabaton was looking for a keyboard player in the beginning they asked my friend 'cause they knew he was talented and had played with Joe Lynn Turner and some other known musicians. My friend had gotten to know the guys in Sabaton while working with kids and teenagers in Falun. My friend declined 'cause he is more of a flower power guy and did not want to make music about war even in a historical way.
Just commenting to say I was in Åland once 12 years ago (I’m American), and my host took me to Dinos Bar. Great memories! There was a band from Southeast Asia (Thailand?) playing that would apparently come up frequently during the summer. Man, now I’ve gotta go back through some old photos and reminisce...
@@kd37555 Made in Thailand is the band name. :)
@@jacobsnellman1796 Awesome, thanks! Loved my time there, and hoping to come back one day when we can all safely travel again. :)
Magnus (long time friend and stage crew) with black long hair in audience - so sweet!
At last! This was the song that introduced me to Sabaton...and it was through the Van Cato cover of it...Seriously you should take a look at their music video for Primo Victoria, trust me! This is one of those songs that never gets old for me, it's on just about every playlist I make (both versions).
Also...I'm looking forward to the day you start braiding your beard.
Primo Victoria is ancient, but still amazing. Its the song that first got me hooked on Sabaton, along with Carolus Rex.
Rikard is currently endorsed by Fang Guitars. (I've never heard of them.)
Found that out from someone on Discord while editing this. I had never heard of them either.
Swedish custom-shop, they also endorse Oskar Montelius. Don't think they have any other endorsements, though I might be wrong about that, not my style so haven't really paid attention.
somehow the only thing I found weird with the 2005 performance, was not hearing joakim say "jump" before the chorus... otherwise I was just blown away how strong their performance was
(obviously joakim with hair was weird too, but let's just talk music and stage presence)
Finally! 🤘🏻🔥 and Joakims hair 😂😂
Primo Victoria was the first album I bought from Sabaton. I was on LimeWire one day and searched for Counter-Strike 1.6, then I found this song I thought was a song about the game, so I downloaded it. turns out it was a badass song on it's own.
Since the next Sabaton song is in Swedish I've taken the liberty of translating it for you now that it's finally released.
Will hopefully be helpful in getting the mood and tone of the song. :) (p.s. I also posted it as a side-by-side translation in the TankChase discord, in #learn-languages-with-metal)
Honored the royal guard stand.
Established by the father of our country.
Dedicated service for 500 years.
From the march over Bält. (note: reference to when the Swedish army marched across the frozen water to invade Denmark)
Fought at Lund, on the fields of Narva.
They follow in heroes tracks.
Forged by fire and dala-blood. (note: dala is an abbreviation of dalarna, the "state" in Sweden where they were formed, and also where Sabaton are from)
Frozen ground and heroism.
In a time of war they stood.
Founded with but 16 men.
The kingdom's oldest combat unit.
A time.
Of war.
Wherever the road may lead.
To protect, the royal guard swore.
For king and country they dedicate their lives.
Knee to knee the royal guard march.
Fought for the father of our country.
Dedicated service for 500 years.
From the march over Bält.
Fought at Lund, on the fields of Narva.
They follow in heroes tracks.
Regardless of who bears the crown.
To their king they loyalty swear.
In a time of peace, they remain.
Traditions from the past.
Still guard the doors to power.
In peace.
And in war.
Wherever the road may lead.
Round our king the royal guard stands.
For land and kingdom they sacrifice their lives.
Knee to knee the royal guard march.
Fought for the father of our country.
Dedicated service for 500 years.
From the march over Bält.
Fought at Lund, on the fields of Narva.
They follow in heroes tracks.
For Sweden in time. (note: this is the motto of our current king, which is also printed on our coins which bear his face)
Where the king goes.
They do what seem impossible.
Whatever the future might bring.
Wherever the road may lead.
To protect, the royal guard swore.
For king and country they dedicate their lives.
Honored the royal guard stand.
Established by the father of our country.
Dedicated service for 500 years.
From the march over Bält.
Fought at Lund, on the fields of Narva.
They follow in heroes tracks.
Love your reactions, during Sabaton saturday will you listen to both the swedish and english versions of the Carolus Rex album?
Good one. I wish he'd do something from "Carolus Rex" Swedish version. Some songs, like "Caroleans Prayer", are so much more powerful in Swedish, even for us who don't speak it.
Might be something good for a stream!
@@TankTheTech
Like maybe taking a song & playing it first in one then the other language, and compare/contrast? That's highly doable i think.. but every song on the album is so awesome, which to choose. Not sure you'd be able to play both albums in one stream. Or that it would be that entertaining to do so (for me yes, but not everyone is such a grizzled Sabaton fan). Whatever you decide, always soooooo happy to see more of your reactions to my fave bands (Blind Guardian, Sabaton, Demons & Wizards). Thank you for all you do!!! 🤘😎🤘
It's interesting seeing the first do nothing for you, because I experienced the same thing when i watched you double react to 40:1 yesterday. I adore 40:1 and if I'm not listening to the album version I'm watching the Woodstock performance. But when you reacted to the Wacken performance first, which I'd never seen... I sat there feeling disappointed. It felt lacklustre and flat and I had no idea why; I've loved every other Wacken performance I've seen of Sabaton's, I love 40:1, they had old members and were using both stages for crying out loud! Why did it feel so hollow? Then you reacted to Woodstock and oh my god, it just does not compare. Five hundred and fifty THOUSAND Polish metalheads losing their minds over a song about their country's oft-overlooked historical triumphs, while the band feed off that insane energy... it just elevates the performance beyond anything that can be replicated. Sabaton at Woodstock was Sabaton Transcendent.
I know it overly used, but I am at the point where when you have a chance to interview with Sabaton you should ask if they know who Floor Jansen is married with, just to see people will stop to point it out or only make it worse.
I kinda did when I interviewed Hannes’ drum tech. Haha
@@TankTheTech yeah kinda hilarious when see you lost your words because of his surprise, but it awesome to see you recover so fast and show how good your interview skill is. Keep it up man!!!
Day 3 of asking for Cliffs of Gallipoli! Just make sure you either stick to the studio version, or find a live showing with the keyboard... The song just isn't the same without it, you'll know what I mean.
Excellent song!!!
Yeah. The keyboard makes a massive difference in this song.
Sabaton on ABBA steroids! I love it, and SUCH an impactful song/story behind it
You need to see the cover by Van Canto ft Joakim Brodén. You gonna like this one. (Official video) You don't need to do a reaction to it but you should see it. 💯
Stay safe 🤘🇺🇸🇩🇰🤘
I respectfully request channel merch as follows:
A mug that says "Tank’s Tears".
Tank; "This chorus is cathy A H"
Me; "And one of their most simplistic ones because very little happens in the music= perfect beginner bassist/drummer piece to learn" (sneaks off to steal brother's base)
I've been a regular at Sweden Rock Festival since 2004 (but back then I could only go on saturdays because of school), and I'm a bit sad I missed out on that early performance. But I did go to the 2015 show and Pär said that he'd been handing out demo samples (I believe he said, this was more than 5 years ago) but he'd stated to a certain person; "10 years from now, we'll be standing on the Festival Stage, headlining." He'd received laugher...
Oh, and someone please help me! In one of the History episodes Pär talks about how Sabaton became popular in Belgium (where my reaction was "celestial interference is real! YAAYY!!") WHICH ONE WAS IT?!?
And I'm stubbornly still suggesting "Price of a mile"...
Pär is the proff that you should never uderestimate small pepole, and never tell him that "you can't do this or that" he will try to prove you wrong
@@tistrupskole123 True.
You must also listen to ....to hell and back and Devil dogs,
That first live recording was not good.. The studio version is awesome and that sounds more like the second live recording
Sigh. I'll be missing all the good stuff today. I have a nasty "will you have a stroke?" lab test to go to . Seems to involve crushing the major veins in my neck. To see if I'll have a stroke. It sucks having a parent with bad heart and stroke history.
Good luck and take care, Sandra!
My first Sweden Rock Festival experience was in 2006 (the year after this Sabaton concert). Didn't know about Sabaton until "Carolus Rex" was released. SRF is only 45 min drive from my home town! Last year, both Nightwish, Amaranthe and Guns 'n roses was supposed to play there... Then it got postponed to this year, but I don't think it will happen this time either... 😕 I'll buy a ticket for 2022.
FOr you next Sabaton reaction check "Winged Hussars". It's an anthem!!
This song is such an ear worm. My son and I are both known to randomly start singing "Through the gates of hell, as we make our way to heaven, through the nazi lines..." as we walk through the house. It will get soooooooo stuck in your head.
What about when you go shopping in the self checkout?
I serve old folks communities here in SoCal and I have several customers whom were there at D-day. They were young soldiers coming off the vehicles, jumping into the water, to storm the beaches! I love talking with them about their point of views how things went down.
That’s wild! I’m sure you’ve heard some crazy stories!
@@TankTheTech yes indeed! Our younger generation could still learn a thing or two from these guys...
@@TankTheTech If you have hard time to pick the guitar models , you can assume its just a custom body and go with parts you can see .
A bit like in this Suomi guitar oakbridge.fi/galleria/suomi-39/ , custom builder only made the body , rest of the parts are taken from normal production guitar .
Guitar neck is a pain in the butt to make , so most custom builder buy them from factory or take the parts from customers guitar , when they just want custom body .
Can you connect the Guitar to the artist , 14 multi choice , yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2017/05/19/fender-stratocaster-vai-gibson-les-paul-testaa-sahkokitaratietosi
Even if you cant Finnish , you see the artist and options what hes playing , John Lennon question is about how he tuned his guitar .
First of all, Sabaton released a album called Fist for Fight back in 2001 which was awesome with some songs that are classical power metal and listened to it before going to watch Sabaton that summer of 2005 at Gates of Metal in Hultsfred in Sweden. One of the best shows I have been at since they didnt play on the big stage. Now that might sound weird but it was a bit odd. The played on the secondary stage which was under roof, like this dance area with a stage to it. And that entire place just erupted and screamed along with the lyrics. It was quite amazing. Also the same festival I realized just how great Children of Bodom is live and how crappy Dimmu Borgir was.
Oh and do a video on Ghost. :p
Yo Tank, check out Sabaton’s historic and lyrical music video “No Bullets Fly”. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed. Rock on my dude!
🤘🤘🤘
The animated story video
The music video is a little hard to hear the actual lyrics. The tank and battle noises all around drown out the song. But I personally love it because Joakim finally got his tank!
Cannot wait to hear your opinion on the new song! Hopefully you haven’t been spoiled by the little snippet Sabaton sent out in January haha.
Keep up the great work and cannot wait for more Sabaton Saturdays!
Nope, I stayed away from it!
It's weird seeing Pär with only a little chin beard instead of the massive amount of facial hair that makes Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbon jealous.
The connection they have with the public are just awsome to watch. Hope we can go to conserts soon..... 😀🇸🇪 Hope you do Gott mit uns soon, and the cover Feuerschwanz does, interesting what you would say about that 🤔😀
Hey Tank, if you like this huge crowd singing along, make sure to get the whole video from Woodstock 2012 called Swedish Empire Live. During the intro before Ghost Division, this crowd sings The Final Countdown by Europe. Absolutely amazing
this song became an instant classic when it came out. they exploded onto the swedish metal scene with it.
Still so much to go through! But for today lets bring up some older Sabaton songs for Tank to react to. Union, cliffs of Gallipoli, the price of a mile, Midway, White Death, The final solution, The carolean prayer, Hearts of Iron, and Gott Mit uns (God with us). And to be honest, Primo Victoria was my first Sabaton song thanks to a game called Hearts of Iron IV. Its wild to see them from back then! Joakim with a mullet! Oh man thats great.
Hi Tank, I know it's not music video, but 40 min video. But if you have time check on Sabaton official channel:
SABATON - Plzeň 2019 (Concert film)
I think you would enjoy it as touring guys. Lot of things what they was doing days before/after concert in Pilsen, Czech Republic. Their preparation for concert and visiting Liberation Festival.
Also Joakim's grandmother was from Czech republic and he has even czech citizenship. So every concert in CZ is quite special for him. :)
First time I heard this song was the cover version by Van Canto
Both of them truly great!
@@andriusbruzas9211 agreed and both bands are awesome live
Same! :D I somehow didn't know Sabaton before that, but since then I love them!
@@tinuswouters Was lucky enough to see them both too. Sadly Van Canto do not have any good live recordings. Just do not convey the awesomeness that ensues.
Wow, that old performance was great for perspective...
The way your voice change when your realized autoplay was still on🤣🤣
This is SO GOOOOOOOOD!!!!! OH My GOD, AWESOME!!!! they have not 1 bad song!!!! Amazing song!;!! Om of THE Best EVER, for EVER!!!!
Where did you find this old video?? I thought I'd seen them all. So cool! The video seems to focus on the drummer and guitars more than Yoakim, which isn't the case now.
I was told by a few people that an old video from 2005 existed so I searched it and there it was. Haha
Wow, that Live Video is about the time i saw them first! Saw them on the Sabaton/Custard Tour in 2006 in a 100 Person Location in Germany. Even back then they where amazing! Joachim had already cut his hair then.
Personally I would have to say that their live shows get exponentially better over time.
In terms of album quality though, I fell like we've hit the bad side of the formulaic curve with their output. Their Carolus Rex album is impeccable. And though I did enjoy Heroes, the 2 subsequent albums have one or two good songs (to my ears of course) at best.
Still they bring so much awesome and historical awareness and representation to the table, that even if a song were bad, it is amazing in its own merits.
I would have to disagree with you on the album song thing. Great War is incredible. I'm not so much into the heavier metal songs, and most of Great War is lighter metal, more fast paced and power metal-ish.
Your free with your opinion, but that's borderline heresy in my book.
Every album has songs that I love more than the others, but if I had to count what I mostly like, it has to be the last few albums.
THE BEST IF there songs!!!!! That was INCREDEBLE🤯🤯🤯🤩🤩🤩 There is not 1bad Sabaton song!!!!
Tank was summoning his inner Floor Jansen with that head bang whirlwind 😂
Was at the concert at Sweden Rock in -05, quite amazing to see where they are now!
Did see them in a small Swedish town in front of maybe 40-50 people in the crowd later the same year or the year after.
And then see them grow and play bigger venues for every release.
Jump forward some ten years and see them headline Sweden Rock Festival.
In 2022 they 'll (hopefully) tour Sweden with 20-25 dates where 90% are sold out.
Every band starts somewhere.
I'm gonna have to watch this one tonight when I get home. Now that you've checked this out you should totally check out Van Canto's version of the song featuring Joakim. Not really too much gear in it but I would love to see your take on it.
I love Tommy, but seeing Thobbe with the boys is like seeing your cool cousin at Christmas.
omg, I am laughing so hard right now, that hair and that jacket, that camera angle ... I just can´t . SO MUCH CHEESE....
the Van Canto version of this song is nice too... though gear wise not a lot to see with an a cappella metal band
How about some metal ABBA? Swedish Hitz Goes Metal - Money Money Money. Sabaton's guitarist Tommy "ReinXeed" Johansson showing off his amazing voice in an epic cover.
I’m only now catching up on the Sabaton reactions, and I’m immensely enjoying them with you. Great work! In case you weren’t already aware, I wanted to let you know that German “a cappella” (mostly) metal band Van Canto did an a cappella cover this song featuring Joakim. I think you’d get a real kick out of the cover! Van Canto are still going strong and they have an upcoming album with a recently released music video of the song “Falling Down” from that album. They’re signed with Napalm Records, so that should help with the reaction(s).
Eyeyey Sweden Rock??? Omg ive waited for the day that you were gonna react to anything from my absolute favorite festival! I basically grew up there! You made my Februari now Tank!
Funfact tho: Norje is a village of around 100 people and Sweden Rock is Swedens biggest Rockfestival thats hosts around 40k people. So that lil village gets a populationincrease of around 4000x what they have in the rest of the year!
One thing I love is Joakim's massive smile on stage as his singing to those half million people. You can tell that he is absolutely loving it up there.
By the way I've got the coolest order to extent your Unleash the Archers adventure:
- Tonight we ride (omg Brittany what is your voice doing?)
- Legacy (iconic goosebump lyric/story video)
- Faster than Light (why I've get wet eyes?)
- Northwest Pasage (is that folk man... are you serious?!)
After that you should be totally expired to this band. I don't know what to think about their first album and some of the older songs with a little more unmelidous vocals, but I'll love after more hearing it.
Meanwhile I am totally Archers slave, no days is passing, I don't hear one of their songs, focussed to their newest album
Could you please do "To Hell and Back" original video (and a bit of (HI)story behind it)? Sabaton tends to close their gigs with this song...and it deals with such a topic that could use exposure anytime.
Very personal song to me...even though Sabaton has made a song about my country's war in the 90s ("We Burn").. still, "To Hell and Back" has more impact.
Thank you so much in advance!! Also thanks for every Sabaton Saturday and all your other work. It's very enjoyable & much appreciated. 🤘😎🤘
Hey Mr. Tank!!
Other great swedish kick ass bands Amon Amarth (Ravens flight) and Dark Tranquillity (Lost to apathy) give them a shot, you wont be dissapointed!!!
Sweden rock 2005 was the first time I heard/saw Sabaton. I remember that I was hungover, completely dressed in white and was pleasantly surprised by their historical lyrics but I don´t remember Joakims hair :P X-D
Been a fan since 2006. Seen them live, man this is old and its becom better. I owned the same jacket and tore the fringes off. My favorite band and my kids grew up with them, going back to see them live for the 2nd time.
Have you heard of Seven Pillars of Wisdom? No? It is about TIME now, dude! ...no I will never stop.. Epic again. Keep doing it.
