This song is about the Swiss Guard defending the Pope against Protestant soldiers. They're all Christians killing each other over whose beliefs are correct. Not exactly something to "respect". Respect the Swiss soldiers for fighting to protect someone.
@@Gustav_Kuriga "Christian" very loosely defined! Most of the wars and battles were politically motivated and driven by lust for power and conquest; very little to do with religion.
@@Elurin In this period? Religion was a HUGE part of wars. This entire war was about how much power the Pope could have. The Pope during this period wasn't just some figure in the Vatican, he was a ruler over his own territory and held political as well as military power. Religion would later play a huge part in the start of the 30 Years War. You know, only the most devastating European war barring the two World Wars.
@@Gustav_Kuriga No, if you study History deeper than high school level, you would see that Religion or Faith had very little to do with the big European wars. It was all about Money(wealth), Influence and Power.
@@Elurin So why did Ferdinand of Austria insist on the Edict of Restitution? That didn't increase Ferdinand's personal wealth, influence, or power. All that land would go back to the Church. It was a RELIGIOUS act in a war that was largely religious until its latter half. In fact the influence of religion being reduced after the Peace of Westphalia was largely caused by the 30 Years War lasting for an entire generation.
One of my favorite underrated Sabaton songs ♥️ This and "The Last Battle" I don't hear many who listen to Sabaton talk about. (Even though its an album title song, it still often gets overlooked due to its religious story, which is a real shame. Religious or not; religion is a major part of History and still needs to be remembered for the amazing stories they are)
I love both of those songs too too,. Oddly I had first read an article about the last battle only a few days before I heard the song for the first time.
I'm a New Sabaton fan. I literally stumbled on on one of their epic songs while doing research on German resistance fighters, Hitler and the Third Reich (I love research and writing). The first 2 song of theirs that I'd stumbled on was Uprising and Wehrmact. I'm also a fan of many different styles of music, especially ones that have a message. Especially if it has anything to do with histry and reminding people of the past because it's true, what we forget we are doomed to repeat. It had been literally years since I listend to hard rock music, and my first reaction when I realized it was music and not informational TH-cam video was to immediately stop the video and out of my mouth escaped one word: "WOAH!!" Then I unpaused, listened some more, the videos I stumbled on were their official lyric videos and I WAS GLUED. I didn't just hear them, didn't just listen to them sing, I was following along AND LEARNING. I checked out the description and was thrilled to find a link to more information about what they were singing about. It wasn't until after I had clicked on that link that I found out it was their history channel! Now I'm in heaven!! These are the things I love most: Jesus, Writing/Ressearching, Reading the word of God, Music AND History!! I have this habbit of making 'what I want to research and write about' Lists. (It's huge) my problem is there's so much I want to learn and write about, anyway, It is AMAZING to me to meet a hard rock group this talented who loves history as much as I do!! I'm still blown away. BTW, in case you're wondering just how 'new' I am to SABATON, I think it's either been a week or a week and a half, okay maybe 2 weeks, but definiately under a month. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!!
Charles I the Emperor attacked the Vatican City on the 6th of May 1527 with 10 thousands German mercenaries, four or five thousands Spanish soldiers and some Italians. Swiss guards were 189 and only 42 survived, there were moving back and surrounded the Pope Clement VII who escaped through an elevated corridor to the Saint Angelo Castle. New Swiss guards appointment/ swearing and promotions are celebrated on 6th of May in memory of those who died defending the Vatican in 1527,
Certainly this music encourages to help those brave soldiers. I am Christian , not Catholic, but I respect the memory of bold guards who defended their faith and loyalty with their own lives. We wish we could defend our faith with the same determination nowadays.
I hope that there will be a day when Dave has reacted to every single Sabaton song. I usually don't follow reaction channels, because a lot of them seem littlebit faked or many of them just speak on top of the music itself. Dave is just so genuine and I love how he loves to learn stuff from this awesome band 🤟🏻
There are so many great songs of theirs you could react to, "The Last Battle," "Winged Hussars", "Defence of Moscow," "Attack of the Dead Men" etc. I really hope you do all of them! You're a fun reactor to watch and watching you have fun makes me feel like I get to share in your joy of the same I had when I first heard these same songs.
Check out my playlist! Lot more sabaton reactions here! I’ve been heavy on this road for a month or two haha. But eventually I will do THEM ALL, OH YEAH th-cam.com/play/PLG217Y9Pofu5q1wsUPdg0ddHg-Pgu5XiG.html
@@whatitdodave I've seen all your Sabaton reactions lol and I love them! That's why I want more! I will be waiting eagerly for more reactions to them. Winged Hussars doesn't have an official music video for it, but there is a stellar one that is fan made (and comes with subtitles) that uses footage from a movie that is about the Siege of Vienna. I recommend it! It goes well with the music and depicts what Sabaton is singing about very well. But, of course, it's up to you. I hope one day you get the chance to see them live. They are phenomenal live. Oh! And I hope you convert your dad to being a Sabaton fan as well! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
BTW the Sack of Rome marks a major point in Western European history The Italian high renaissance effectively ends with the Sack of Rome Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel Ceiling before the Sack Thirty years later he painted the Last Judgement in the same room and you can see that art has changed. Also English history was changed as Charles V was Catherine of Aragon's nephew and when Henry VIII wanted a divorce from her the pope was a captive of Charles V so he said no to the divorce pushing Henry into a break with Rome and England to the protestant side.
I absolutely love this song, the keyboard and guitars in sync with a catchy lyric delivers. Btw...just so you know...Christmas truce just got posted as an animated video in collaboration with Yarnhub.
I just recently discovered Sabaton (thanks Dan!!) and this song is my fave by Sabaton and by Dan. I also appreciate & enjoy their Sabaton History channel. Great review Dave! Ih wait, i think YOU are the one who introduced me to Dan (amazing grace review), who then introduced me to Sabaton and many orhers. I owe you a huge thanks!!!
I'm soprano and I can say even im Gregorian guardian sing metal style like this master pieces are just an unique experience. The surprised in my self was the long hair crew sing amazing 🤩😍.
Again, same. Im not christian but i have full respect for what people believe in and dont let people take that away from you. Im tempted to make this my national anthem in my dc server and make the roles different too.
As a Neo-Pagan, I respect the fight for glory, honor, and defending the belief. Sabaton brings out so much emotion, you can't help but prepare for a history lesson with lyrics.
I love watching your videos you have helped with my depression and my fears I was diagnosed with heart failure in March of last year and you have helped me so much keep up the amazing content
The hight voice you catch is the young guitarist of the band he have joyride Roxette cover with pelek ... The female version of this song is just unique also.
Hey, mate, love your reaction videos as always! I don't know if you take suggestions, but if you do then may I suggest the Gettysburg track from Iced Earth's The Glorious Burden. It contains the songs: The Devil To Pay, Hold at all Cost, and High Water Mark, which should be listened to in that exact order, since each one of the songs tackles each day of the Battle of Gettysburg. Anyways, thanks for the awesome videos, cheers, mate!
since that year every 6th of May his holiness , give each guardsmen some time to talk to him and bless each and every one, and spite,of their famncy dresses they are Special Forces with modern weapon inunder to this day their oath is sworn to the pope and if needed give their life to save him.
This war was a struggle to establish which law trumped which. The rule of kings or rule of heaven (The Pope). The catholic church was a main political power and had been for 900 years (ever since it was put in power by the same Habsburgs that were fighting to Detroit it now) and in the wake of the reformation and rise of protestantism cathloc kings were now questioning The churchs right to meddle in earthly affairs (ie politics). Therefor it was a full on war in northern Italy and all the Popes troops and troops to church loyal nobles, princes and Kingston were tide up fighten there when one of the Habsburg armies decided to march on the now undefended holy city (the Pope had counted on the still catholic troops to at least keep thror respect for the sanxtity of reome. He was wrong) leaving the church royal troops behind.
Some one send me your video reaction and now I'm spending good time watching. One of the guitarist in that band (Young one) have a privilege voice. He make joyride with pelek a few years ago please the reaction. This song have a 3 flyers organ cover and is a blowmind melody 💜🎉
This is the 300 stand. In fact the 300 stand was not 300 - the Greeks actually had THOUSANDS of soldiers and Spartans weren't even the best fighters in the bunch. But hey, that's what good PR gets you - people who didn't study history, now believe only Sparta was there and only 300 soldiers.
This was the first Sabaton song I ever heard; I've been hooked ever since.
I strongly suggest looking into their songs 40 to 1 and Uprising at Wacken
Im pretty sure I’ve done those already. Here’s all my sabaton reactions.

This is the song that got me into the band, especially those epic lines "dying for salvation, with dedication, no capitulation, annihilation"
straight out of warhammer 40k
*"HEAVEN IS YOUR DESTINATION!"*
My 12-year-old son after listening to the song wants to enlist in the Swiss Guards, but we are Lutherans.
the last stand is an absolute banger THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
My man!!! 🤣
Coming down THE MOUNTAIN SIDE

This entire song is basically the band (how did you say it) “spitting mad bars” for 4 minutes 💪💪💪
One of my all time favourite Sabaton songs reacted to by one of my favourite reactors.
Ditto!!
This song wants me to fight for the man upstairs but I FIGHT FOR THE LAST STAND!! *Draws sword*
Yeah, Sabaton be spitting mad bars. Laughed way to hard at that! Haha

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
BTW the Sack of Rome marks a major point
in Western European history
The Italian high renaissance effectively ends
with the Sack of Rome
Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel Ceiling
before the Sack
Thirty years later he painted the Last Judgement
in the same room and you can see that
art has changed.
Also English history was changed as Charles V
was Catherine of Aragon's nephew
and when Henry VIII wanted a divorce from her
the pope was a captive of Charles V
so he said no to the divorce
pushing Henry into a break with Rome
and England to the protestant side.
Hi Dave, your comment - as usual very cultured and full of gentle humour. 🍀
The Swiss guard are some of the bravest warriors in history. Respect to those men who risked their lives
A Christmas Truce is an amazing new song from them
Agreed!
Started with you because of your Dan Vasc reviews....stayed because of your enthusiastic reviews of others!!
This is an absolutely amazing song!
I absolutely love this song, the keyboard and guitars in sync with a catchy lyric delivers.
Btw...just so you know...Christmas truce just got posted as an animated video in collaboration with Yarnhub.
Professor Dave, you are a true fan! Great job as usual bro! Please, keep them coming!!!

Again I don't have enough thumbs for this amazing reaction, thank you sir.
Always here for the Sabaton reactions!
The Swiss Guard long halberds/pikes are no joke
Really love this song!
I thank Dan Vasc 4 introducing me 2 Sabaton. This song IS contagious! Joakim gritty baritone shines insanely.
I'm soprano and I can say even im Gregorian guardian sing metal style like this master pieces are just an unique experience.
The surprised in my self was the long hair crew sing amazing 🤩😍.
Again, same. Im not christian but i have full respect for what people believe in and dont let people take that away from you.
Im tempted to make this my national anthem in my dc server and make the roles different too.
Great Sabaton song! Great reaction! - thanks :-)
Oh man, Hearts of Iron is such an underrated song from Sabaton. It's from the album Heroes 🔥
Wasn’t it originally made for the video game “hearts of iron 3”?
This was the first Sabaton song I ever heard and fell in love with the band because of it
I love this song, whether this version, Jonathan Young's version, or of course Dan Vasc's version. Great song, great reaction!
Liked, subbed, and belled mate. God bless and Merry Christmas Dave!

This is Sabatons’ greatest hit.
Day 4 of asking you Dave to react to 82nd all the way by sabaton. This video was amazing. Love your vida👍
I think I asked for it also on another video, he most likely will react to it at some point.
I applaud you for doing a touch of research before a reaction, I do not enjoy reactions from people who go in clueless
thank you

If this isn't a hype-tune, I don't know what is :)
As a Catholic I’m about to grind so hard in the gym 😂
i converted to roman Catholicism 2 years ago and learnt about sabaton 6 months ago i later played it to my priest i created a new metal head that day
You mentioned 300, now you must listen to Sparta which is also on the Last Stand album!
Oh yeah

also you should do the song union and master of world that one of there old ones also metal machine and metal cue
cool video, I also recommend watching the rammstein video.
Idk but this might be a fun idea: each person types a piece of the lyrics into the comments and we type the song into the comments. Idk just an idea.
Should go to the Sabaton history channel.
They should make this the Vatican's anthem
Dan Vasc blows this away in his cover
I bet no Americans learn this in school!!!!
