I had someone like Indy. My son came home from school 20 years later and told me he had some boring temporary teacher in swedish. When He told me the teachers name I laught and told me if he got him again he should ask him about he wars... They got the best 2 hours historyleason they ever had.
I had the luck to always had great history teachers. And a Grandfather who sparked the fire for my addiction to history at a very young Age. (Second language, bless you)
Indy: "All the history we've been doing is not even real history" _We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled!_
Honestly, I don't speak a single word of Swedish, but I still love all the Carolus Rex songs in Swedish. It's my favourite album by far. Great content, keep rocking.
I think they are mainly part of the interviews, cause they know the most about the stories behind the creations of the songs etc. Especially when it is over the songs on Carolus Rex and earlier
@@douglasball5997 Yea, Joakim and Pär are the 2 who remain from the old Sabaton, also called Sabaton Mark 1 by Pär in that vid (Ruina Imperii btw). That is why they are often the ones who talk most. Like in 2019 I only saw clips from those 2 talking (before Ghost Division with most former members)
@@Zwickerly2 The original Camouflage was a number 1 hit in Norway. And lasted for 3 weeks. Maybe because we are more open to the principle of ghost not beeing a danger to us. And we do belive there is more between heaven and earth, than the eye can see. ;)
Well, why should they say no to covering Camouflage on the channel? If they would go into the history of the myth (if it was a real myth and not invented by the original singer), they would probably tell, who it inspired Stan Ridgway and how then Sabaton discovered it and decided to cover it.
Living in America, I love to hear songs in other languages. Took German in high school, and a semester in college. I especially like to hear Polish and Swedish because my maternal Grandmother's parents were from those to countries. Great grandfather was Polish, Kmeciak was his last name. My great grandmother was from Sweden and her maiden name was Halgren.
Yank here, My Sabaton station on Pandora played the Swedish version Of CRex a couple of days ago, it was great. I think your fans in the States would not mind but it might be harder to attract new ones if you sang more Swedish in the States.
@@kevinconrad6156 I live in Sweden, but when I listen to music on the rock station on the radio, there’s no Sabaton songs being played. Like at all. Not even one song from Carolus Rex is played
@@JojokimVT I doubt Sabaton is every played on the radio in the US. I hear them on a streaming service that lets you make stations so I have a Sabaton station. Only about a third of the songs are Sabaton though and none of the other bands they play are anywhere near as good or interesting.
I was at a show they did in Texas were they let the audience pick between Poltava or Gott Mit Uns. We picked Gott Mit Uns then they let us pick between Engllish and Swedish. The crowd pick Swedish, so they played Gott Mit Uns in Swedish.
They did the same thing in California. I enjoyed it because Gott Mit Uns is one of my favorite songs from them, so I know it it English and Swedish..ish. Enough to shout along at a concert atleast.
I was sooo excited to see Chris doing this episode with Indy today! But then.. Well, it was great anyway, but would be really awesome to have other members of band in the episode! You need to think about it, guys
soo we not gonna address the fact that Pär LITERALLY looks like a Lion (from the north) with his hair and beard ..?? also agreed that it’d be really cool to see the other band members too!!!
Picture this: Indy, Joakim and Tommy sitting in the beginning of the video, but for some reason, Joakim is knocked out while Indy and Tommy introduces themselves. Joakim wakes up and wonder why he’s chained to the chair. And the reason is because Joakim refuses to do a episode on Swedish Pagans so the crew were forced to drug him. And why is Tommy there? Well, it’s because he want to talk about the greatness that is Swedish Pagans and he want Joakim to listen to him so he can convert him into loving the song. That would be a great setup for a Swedish Pagans episode
You know the one things I love about these videos. Is that the series started off super serious and then evolved into Indy cosplaying as Beethoven while he and Joakim make fun of the state of Nevada and throwing us that curve at the beginning.
I learned alot about Swedish History from Sabaton. Once I heard this Album I went to Germany in 2016, I went to Lutzen to a small chapel over a simple stone with the Inscription G.A. 1632 in a fenced memorial, rainy day. That was the spot they found the King.
When I saw Sabaton near DC a few years ago Joakim asked the audience what language they wanted Carolus Rex in. There was an overwhelming response of "Swedish!", which seemed to genuinely surprise Joakim.
Ngl I was really excited for an interview of Chris when I saw the beginning and am now disappoited. I think interviews of Chris, Tommy, and Hannes would be awesome.
Eh, Joakim. Did you grow out your hair and beard more or are you attempting a Chris Rörland cosplay? Btw, damn that was a surprise. Finally, we got another bandmember on Sabaton History. Thank you for bringing me hope for a Tommy inclusion in a future Swedish Pagans episode.
I'm pretty sure we aren't far from seeing an episode with Indy wearing one of those fancy robes with a pipe in one hand and a glass of cognac, brandy or scotch in the other.
"Some of them are handicapped when it comes to first languages" Indy, you are so very right. Professional editor, and can confirm that many English speakers are absolutely abysmal at their own first language.
If you don't know Joakim he might look scary with his sunglasses, but after watching tons of Sabaton history videos you know that he's actually sympathetic and funny.
I know everyone’s name and surname from this band, both old and new. Like Joakim Brodén, Hannes van Dahl, Pär Sundström, Tommy Johansson, Chris Rörland, Robban Bäck, Thobbe Englund, Daniel Myhr, Daniel Mullback, Oskar Montelius and Rikard Sundén. Oh and Snowy Shaw too. You can say I’m a bit obsessed
I always thought Joakim changing languages mid song was intentional since I've seen it in a few live videos now. Also, this is probably the best song to play in Swedish, the chorus is still the same, so even if the fans don't speak Swedish they can still sing along to it.
One of my favorite books is a historical fiction story that takes place in this time period. "The Lion of the North, a tale of the times of Gustavus Adophus," by G. A. Henty. The main character is a young Scott that joins the Green Brigade of Gustavus in the 30 Years War. Henty wrote many Historical fiction books in the late 19th century for the boys of England. I love to read or listen to them. If you want a book that gives you the history of the war and give you a good story at the same time, then I would recommend that you read it.
Awesome video! I'm quite glad (and somewhat proud) that Indy mentioned the influence of Maurits (or Maurice) of the Dutch United Provinces, on Gustavus Aldophus. In the 17th century, the Dutch ruled the sea, and the Swedes ruled the land!
I love the little pop culture references Indy sometimes throws in. King in the North! Both historical and Game of Thrones. And you thought we wouldn't notice ;)
I would love to see a high-production series of dramatizing the history of the Swedish empire, following the songs that Sabaton has done. Get Apocalyptica to do all of the music for the whole thing.
At one Sabaton concert I went to in America (MD) the crowd started chanting "one more beer" in German. This so surprised Joakim that it prompted him to tell a joke: "What do you call someone who speaks two languages?" "Bilingual." What do you call someone who speaks three languages?" "Trilingual." "What do you call someone who speaks one language?" "American." As an American who has tried to learn several languages but has not become fluent, I thought it was funny. :-)
I think one of the issues with the language barriers here in the United States is unlike Europe we are not directly exposed to so many different languages being we are clear on the other side of the world bordered by countries that speak primarily English and Spanish. Where as in Europe you have a ton of different countries and languages packed together so tightly making the need or want to learn a second or third language a bigger deal. I personally, being someone who lives in America, love to hear songs in other languages. I listen to for example Rammstein and love their music and songs even if it is in German. Just makes me look up the lyrics so I can start to understand the songs and even learn some basic German in the process
Yeah, It fun to hear songs in different languages, but I agree with very few languages part, we have English, Spanish, some french in Canada and if you go really far south Portuguese, in brazil
Despite not knowing a lick of Swedish, I really like listening to the Sabaton songs in Swedish. It's a beautiful language. Someday I will learn it, but I'm trying to get the handle on Japanese first (which is a struggle lol).
American here and I LOVE hearing songs in other languages! Swedish, German, Polish, Finnish.... They sound beautiful to me. I just look up the translation and I am happy. Trying to learn more languages. :)
This is probably my favorite song from the album, and it got me interested in doing some of my own research on it and after that i was somewhat amazed because. I thought the story of his daughter was as interesting or even more interesting than his own story.
I know I'm probably in a small majority here, but if Sabaton did a US tour singing only in Swedish I would love it. Do I understand Swedish? Heck no, but you bet your ass I'd still be excited for it. Hell, like 60% of the bands I listen to sing in a language I don't understand and I still love it.
It would be interesting to have an episode about Albrecht von Wallenstein, as he was one of the most fascinating characters of the war and a seriously interesting story of a rags to riches ascent.
One of my favorite anecdotes about him was an Italian mercenary working in his army. He was paid to kill him. This man having no allegiance to Gustavus and on multiple occasions leveling his pistol at the king said he could not bring himself to kill such a man. Such was Gustavus' charisma and self-confidence. Thomas Roe said of him "I hope more of the King of Sweeden's own person than of all his country ... he is all and worth all" He also said, "He thinks the ship cannot sink that carries him". Such a level of self-confidence is infectious. It is no wonder his death at the Battle of Lutzen hit the Swedish military so hard.
Jeez I must be more exhausted after work than I thought. You guys almost had me questioning my sanity with that kris joakim gag at the beginning. Great video as always gents.
Thank you Saber on, this song helped me decide on the topic for my Bachelor's senior paper. I was inspired by this song to write on the Swedish Intervention during the Thirty Years War.
I'm American and I do listen to the swedish version of Carolus Rex but i think the only song i could actually sing along too in Swedish is En Livstid I Krig cause it's slow enough for me to hear the words to it.
@12:02 - "Herr Wilhelm! Nein!!! NEEIIIIIINNNNNNN!" Also, as someone who lives in Nevada (the wasteland around the capitol, not Las Vegas), the pronunciation is more correctly "Neväda." :) Either way, this is one of my favorite songs, thanks for talking about it!
Oh god I laughed so hard during this episode. The pun with the British and American being handicapped, when it comes to second languages and playing Swedish in Nevada... cracked me up :D :D
I remember the first time I saw Sabaton, it was in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2017. You guys gave us the choice of singing either "Poltava" or "Gott Mit Uns", and then in English or Swedish. The whole audience wanted "Gott Mit Uns" in Swedish and Joakim was like, "What the fuck? You guys been practicing your Swedish?"
When you guys were in Grand Rapids Michigan (U.S.A) in 2018 I remember Joakim asking the audience if they would prefer to hear Gott Mit Uns in Swedish or English. Us in the crowd overwhelmingly voted for Swedish, and I remember him saying "good because I forgot the English lyrics" Was a great concert. The band said that they'd never seen so many people crowdsurfing on a monday night. And a local WWI history group gave the band a certificate because they were bringing history to a new generation. They probably don't remember since they've been to hundreds of venues, but it was an amazing night and those moments really stick out to me.
Once I was in the front row of the Sabaton concert, and they were playing Carolus Rex, and I confused Joakim by screaming my lungs out in Swedish while they were trying to sing the English version of the song. And Cris was like "Nice, singing in Swedish, thumbs up." No the easiest way to sort this problem out - always, always sing the Swedish version. xD

12:02 you guys thought we wouldn't notice the Wilhelm scream. But we noticed

I think they are mainly part of the interviews, cause they know the most about the stories behind the creations of the songs etc. Especially when it is over the songs on Carolus Rex and earlier
They might care more about the music aspect than the history aspect
In couple episodes ago par mentioned the band broke up and had to find new members so I figured they are the only original members.

Well, I see Hannes made another appearance, though . . .
You guys should really do 'Camouflage" for a Halloween special! C'mon, who could say no to a ghost story from Vietnam?!
Camouflage is a cover though.
@@amluxgaming I know, sadly. But a boy can still dream, heh =P
@@amluxgaming True but the original song is terrible.
@@Zwickerly2 The original Camouflage was a number 1 hit in Norway. And lasted for 3 weeks.

Ah, I see you are me(m)n of the prequels as well :D
I won't lie, I recently started to learn Swedish, because of Carolus Rex, and its a beautiful language, from an Estonian in Canada.
The little knee smack by Chris was too great
Nice quarantine hair and beard, Joakim.
Dude probably does his own hair
Greeting from Bulgaria.Brave Sweden 🇸🇪 Vikings.Respekt of honor .Another brave and horor history and song .Thanks Boys ❤
7:38
I love how this makes Gustavus Adolphus sound like some kind of medieval Swedish Mafia boss.
A time of religion and war
So a normal European Tuesday
Ahh yes french revolution and christian believes
more like the middle east
I live in Las Vegas and I need to see a Sabaton consort with my dad and brother we all love SABATON
I've been having a pretty rough few days here latley.
But that intro made them a bit better. Thank you Joakim, Chris, and Indy.
“This beast in the shape of a man.” An awesome descriptor of a commander in chief if I ever heard one!!
I learned alot about Swedish History from Sabaton. Once I heard this Album I went to Germany in 2016, I went to Lutzen to a small chapel over a simple stone with the Inscription G.A. 1632 in a fenced memorial, rainy day. That was the spot they found the King.

Sabaton sang one song in Swedish in Milano (Italy) in 2015.
actually, Jocke asked us if we want it in English or Swedish and we chose Swedish
You guys make me laugh with your antics! 🤣 Personally, I'd love to hear some of the songs in Swedish on a tour!

Indy says ‘I am called [my name is] Gustavus Adolphus the Second’.

Just realised that this is number 90. Wow. Time flies when you're having fun I suppose.
At one Sabaton concert I went to in America (MD) the crowd started chanting "one more beer" in German. This so surprised Joakim that it prompted him to tell a joke:
"What do you call someone who speaks two languages?"
"Bilingual."
What do you call someone who speaks three languages?"
"Trilingual."
"What do you call someone who speaks one language?"
"American."
As an American who has tried to learn several languages but has not become fluent, I thought it was funny. :-)
When you get a language wrong; most countries are flattered by the attempt, but Europeans are disgusted lmao
I love the back and forth between Indy and Joakim in these videos, especially when they get the giggles!
I think one of the issues with the language barriers here in the United States is unlike Europe we are not directly exposed to so many different languages being we are clear on the other side of the world bordered by countries that speak primarily English and Spanish.

It would be interesting to have an episode about Albrecht von Wallenstein, as he was one of the most fascinating characters of the war and a seriously interesting story of a rags to riches ascent.
I think that the Lion made his soldiers believe they could do anything in the battlefield. He was a great Leader.
Congrats Sabaton! Congrats Indy!

Thhe Imperial forces in the first part of the Thirty Years War: *Ah, victory.*

'He had no interest in the Holy Roman Empire.' Yeah, that problem will solve itself
I'm American and I do listen to the swedish version of Carolus Rex but i think the only song i could actually sing along too in Swedish is En Livstid I Krig cause it's slow enough for me to hear the words to it.
17:38 Americans come in two flavors.
Those who struggle with English.
Those who speak like 5 languages.
Dang! Joakim sure grew some hair at the beginning.
Just kidding. Great to see Chris, even if briefly, on Sabaton History.
As far as the US goes, you could probably get away with a Swedish concert in Minnesota.
Well apparently in texas the people attending chose for them to sing gott mit uns in swedishn
I don't care what language you're singing in. Yall are awesome
@12:02 - "Herr Wilhelm! Nein!!! NEEIIIIIINNNNNNN!"
Also, as someone who lives in Nevada (the wasteland around the capitol, not Las Vegas), the pronunciation is more correctly "Neväda." :)
Either way, this is one of my favorite songs, thanks for talking about it!
If i'm not mistaken, you guys pretty much covered all the songs from the Carolus Rex album! (Besides Dominium Maris Baltici) Congrats boys!
Oh god I laughed so hard during this episode. The pun with the British and American being handicapped, when it comes to second languages and playing Swedish in Nevada... cracked me up :D :D
Man you guys are ramping up the history lessons. Keep it up!
I remember the first time I saw Sabaton, it was in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2017. You guys gave us the choice of singing either "Poltava" or "Gott Mit Uns", and then in English or Swedish. The whole audience wanted "Gott Mit Uns" in Swedish and Joakim was like, "What the fuck? You guys been practicing your Swedish?"
Digging Indys coat.
Can we get a Fireside chat episode of Sabaton History please? complete with burgundy Robes and glasses of wine.
Nice timing by the algorithm to push this video today.
bro about time! my fav song finally gets a sabaton history vid
Having fun and talking about history that is what it is all about
When you guys were in Grand Rapids Michigan (U.S.A) in 2018 I remember Joakim asking the audience if they would prefer to hear Gott Mit Uns in Swedish or English. Us in the crowd overwhelmingly voted for Swedish, and I remember him saying "good because I forgot the English lyrics"
Was a great concert. The band said that they'd never seen so many people crowdsurfing on a monday night. And a local WWI history group gave the band a certificate because they were bringing history to a new generation. They probably don't remember since they've been to hundreds of venues, but it was an amazing night and those moments really stick out to me.
I absolutely love the Black and Yellow Overcoat/Trenchcoat/Coach (not sure which one) Indy's wearing.
Indy be styling on us. Nice.
What an intro love it
That is a great coat. I want one now.
Once I was in the front row of the Sabaton concert, and they were playing Carolus Rex, and I confused Joakim by screaming my lungs out in Swedish while they were trying to sing the English version of the song. And Cris was like "Nice, singing in Swedish, thumbs up." No the easiest way to sort this problem out - always, always sing the Swedish version. xD
If Joakim lied and is actually Chris then how do we know that Indy is Indy and not some imposter?
Indy is acting pretty sus.
What if Indy was not Indy, but Pär in disguise?
*insert Among Us joke here*
@@q-tip4723 are you sure you aren't the impostor
I always feel bad for Chris watching the intro, like come on, of course we'd love Chris to give his thoughts and answer questions too! 🙏
Damn, thats a nice Karoliner jacket Indy is wearing. Where can I get hold of one of those?
