The song is about the Polish Warsaw Uprising that started on 1st August 1944, against Germans (during the WW II). During the uprising Germans murdered 200 000 of Polish civilians, including women, children, even infants, elders. People were fighting against the German occupiers for 63 days, until 3rd October 1944. After the fall of the uprising Germans destroyed Warsaw, the capital of Poland, in more than 80%. Every year, on 1st August, to commemorate the Warsaw Uprising the whole country stops for a minute at 5 p.m., and the alarm sirens are turned on in the whole country. And in the evening people meet in Warsaw and sing the songs that were written and sung by the insurgants. In Warsaw there's a whole Museum of the Warsaw Uprising.
The Warsaw Uprising of '1944 was the largest civilian uprising against occupiers in history. It lasted over two months (63 days) and is still the longest-lasting "underground" fight. Almost all the Polish "soldiers" were civilians (the youngest was nine years old) and at the beginning only one in ten had any weapon. The Germans stopped at nothing to break their spirit. For example, within a few days during the "Wola Massacre" (one of the districts of Warsaw) they murdered over 65,000 civilians… who did not take part in the fighting. It was a time of heroic fight, inhuman cruelty and… betrayal. During the uprising, Soviet forces which were a few kilometers from Warsaw were supposed to attack and help the Poles. However, the Russians decided to wait until the insurgents were slaughter and the German forces weakened, and then take what remained. Every year on August 1st at 5:00 p.m. - the "W-hour" - the entire country freezes for one minute: city sirens are howling, cars stop on the street and people get up. This one minute is a tribute for those who then rose to fight with honor but with no chance to win, but also for those who live here today… so that they never forget and and so that it never happens again. That's what this song is about: remember them! But now when I watch the news on TV… I feel like it was all for nothing and that we have failed.
This song You've listened - "Uprising" - I think is one of the best of their songs, it's really good. And also the interaction with people at the concert was also great. Another good songs of Sabaton are for instance: "Winged Hussars" (it's about the Battle of Vienna in 1683, so-called Siege of Vienna, against Turkish, and the Polish special elite cavalry formation of knights, that played decisive role in the battle) and "40:1" (it's about the battle of Wizna in 1939 against Germans). There's also "Inmate 4859" (it's about Witold Pilecki, very well known member of Polish underground resistance movement and Home Army during the WW II, a hero).
Sabaton is epic! You don´t have to be scared, The sabaton family and crowd are very friendly! In fact metalheads are the best people ever! One big family enjoying music togheter! Go for it Millie! you won´t regret it! Love from Sweden! 💙💛💙
Totally agree I'm also not the biggest guy and I once found myself suddenly in the middle of a moshpit. They absolutely recognize if you are willing to head out of it and I came out there without problems. Metalheads sometimes seem to be big and scary but I would promise that they will automatically shield you up. So just go to the concert and let us know your experiences. Greetings from Germany :)
Hello, greetings from Poland 😉✌️ and don't be afraid of the crowd because there are very nice people, I know that very well because I'm from Poland 🤣🤣🤣🤣 stay warm and that was the Łudstok concert
When i was at a Maiden concerrt in 85 a small girl like u fell next to me and she was uncontious so me and another guy lift her up and carried her to the pitpeople where they send medics to her. But this show i really love it, its in Poland and they first called it Woodstock but they got sued over the name so they changed it to Bloodstock and its a huge metal festival.
As a now old man in his late 30s going to a show is no problem. This is a festival and the crowd is massive but shows tend to be in concert halls or bars. You can chill in the front or back and not get hit. Also metalheads are chill about not involving anyone who doesn't want to be in the pit, if you fall or get hurt 10 dudes are right there to help, it goes tenfold for old lads and girls.
Great reaction as usual. You should see official music video and history video, both are great for this,. I posted this in your 1916 reaction. but you asked. (edited skme though) Sabaton also has an award winning history channel that gives background to over 120 if their songs (not music award, academic, aimed at education of the public) . Sabaton videos are often have dedications and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but... watching to the very end is frequently well worth it. Animated STORY videos (short Animated history lessons with music videos in them) No bullets fly, enemy showing mercy to injured aircrew in a nearly wrecked aircraft barely still flying, even escorting them to safety. Night witches, Young (17-28) female bomber pilots in ww2 fighting the Nazi despite the discrimination they faced and being given obsolete equipment, aircraft ... Lady of the dark, female fighting alongside men during ww1 and being highly respected and even more decorated. Red baron, the famous fighter pilot of ww1 first soldier, unlikely French hero in ww1. Epic ORIGINAL videos. Bismark, about the sinking of the ship Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914 40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939 (with odds actually close to 55:1 they held for 3 DAYS when ammunition and supplies ran out. Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising against the nazi germans during 1944. To hell and back, they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face. Fields of verdun, the 300+ day long battle fought there. Price of a mile, about the battle of Passchendaele Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge Live performances 40:1 from poland Uprising from poland (you saw this) En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war. Two covers that are good Defence of Moscow, self explained (you have seen this) 1916 about the devastating battle of the somme in ww1, casualties topped 1 milion if you count both sides, all for 6 miles of ground, these are just some, there are plenty more.
Excellent reaction. Sabaton live is totally amazing; if you are worried about the crowd, see them in a small venue. I saw Sabaton (Epica opened) at the Ryman in Nashville, TN in 2022. 2400 seat auditorium, and they put on the best show I have ever seen. Great crowd interaction and you could see they loved performing. Great thing about small venues is no matter where you are it seems like you are right on stage with them. BTW, Thobbe Englund (the white Fender Stratocaster soloist here) has returned to Sabaton. I love watching Robban Back on drums. His facial expressions and animation are awesome.
As fellow short person, all the way in the front or near the sound tech tower. Sabaton crowds are very friendly in my experience. I'm 5'7"-5'8", male, so that is short.
1916. Covered by Sabaton is going to wreck you, it is a tribute to Motorhead, Lemmy and the lost in the battle of the Somme and warfare in general, going to see Sabaton in a month and a hlaf in Reading, Pennsylvania
Inorder to truly appreciate this song you should watch Sabaton History Uprising. Tells details about what the song is about and how the song came about.
Here comes afew Millie... ""Ghost Division" Polish Woodstock festival (same concert as this one), I dont like Russia... but the Musicvideo to "Defence of Moscow " is impressive, . Then "Sparta" and "Coat of Arms" Live in Greece. ""Last Dying Breath" Live from Belgrade, "40:1 " @ This concert = Polish Woodstock
I know maybe that's not your intention, and I don't want to be sounding like a patronizing jerk, but you reactions always are so sweet and honest, I love it. Hope you don't feel offended. If so: I'm deeply sorry.
At least in my experience, for every short person on a power metal concert, there is a 130kg heavy old guy (no matter if he's short or tall) who somehow is able to push the entire mosh-pit to the side with one arm. And I've only ever met nice people on the 4 Sabaton concerts I've been to, so in the worst case you can look for a group that appears nice and just ask them if you can stay with them because you don't want to die in a mosh pit - never heard a metal fan say no to that (unless they were specifically there to be in the mosh-pit) As for the homework: "Christmas truce" and "no bullets fly" for the stories are top tier for reactions, followed imo by "soldier of heaven" and "the unkillable soldier" "Bismarck" for the video and I think you personally would like "Lady of the dark" not quite infinite suggestions: "the last battle", "82nd all the way", "shiroyama", "40:1", "Night Witches", "The Final Solution" (...it's heavy though), "Cliffs Of Gallipoli", "Father" (slow burn, took me a few times to like but it became one of my faves), "Rorke's Drift", "Stormtroopers" and most importantly: set to repeat 😂
To get another dimension to this song is how Warsaw had it in the second world war. They actually say "women, men and children were fighting side by side" and that is the truth. Soviet also stood aside and watched Germany completely destroy this city, which is horrific. Poland has been through sooo much. I slaute you.
Great reaction. If this interest you then you might want to here the god father of punk(grunge)who is Iggy Pop with his song Nightclubing or Dum Dum. He is the first one to jump into the crowd starting the mud pit stuff.

Another Sabaton song you should watch is 40:1. live. Or live from wacken, germany. Sabatons Swedish pagans

Going to a concert should be no problem. Just bring a big bloke and sit on his shoulders. 😉
And stay away from big open spaces in the crowd if you don't want to be in a mosh.

Good reaction 😊 greetings from Poland 😊 Woodstock 2012 I remember ❤ I recommed Sabaton - 40:1 Woodstock 2012 😊
As fellow short person, all the way in the front or near the sound tech tower. Sabaton crowds are very friendly in my experience. I'm 5'7"-5'8", male, so that is short.
You have to be there in person to feel the adrendline, I've been there since the 90's and the impressions were out of this world.
White death in same concert. 😊

I've seen them live about 40 times
did you really understand the message of the song, wow
Inorder to truly appreciate this song you should watch Sabaton History Uprising. Tells details about what the song is about and how the song came about.
Here comes afew Millie... ""Ghost Division" Polish Woodstock festival (same concert as this one), I dont like Russia... but the Musicvideo to "Defence of Moscow " is impressive, .

No Bullets Fly animated is a must watch, but all of their songs are great
Polska Duma!
I know maybe that's not your intention, and I don't want to be sounding like a patronizing jerk, but you reactions always are so sweet and honest, I love it. Hope you don't feel offended. If so: I'm deeply sorry.

As for the homework:
"Christmas truce" and "no bullets fly" for the stories are top tier for reactions, followed imo by "soldier of heaven" and "the unkillable soldier"
"Bismarck" for the video
and I think you personally would like "Lady of the dark"
not quite infinite suggestions: "the last battle", "82nd all the way", "shiroyama", "40:1", "Night Witches", "The Final Solution" (...it's heavy though), "Cliffs Of Gallipoli", "Father" (slow burn, took me a few times to like but it became one of my faves), "Rorke's Drift", "Stormtroopers" and most importantly: set to repeat 😂
