I guess metal is like Nokia - connecting people :) The truth is there's no second band singing about Polish history( not even in Poland) like Sabaton . Songs like 40:1 (about battle of Wizna) , Uprising ( Warsaw uprising) or Winged hussars ( Polish cavalry known as Polish hussars) are just examples why they have so many fans in Poland :) ps. There is no words to describe Pol'and'rock festival- people, atmosphere, concerts, 3 days of freedom .. i can just highly recommend ;) .. and Jinjer is confirmed on 2021 line up!
@@AcMan1990 I have no doubt its a fantastic festival! I havent met one person who has heard of Sabaton that didn't like them. Such an incredible take on history

@@04me93 I have. My ex. That is one of reasons why she is ex now hahahahahaha
a coment to this, some people when they had negative comments about Britney Spears and her singing, saying that she was bad at singing. Then u had these idiot children who listen to her music and they stated "but its not easy to run around and sing same time" This is something metal singers have been doing since the beginning.
I would recommend "Swedish Pagans" live at Wacken 2019. It was their 20th Anniversary Show so they played on two separate stages at once. They invited former members that haven't been in Sabaton since 2012. They also had special guest appearance by Tina Guo, she played cello on the Wonder Woman theme song and helping on the Wonder Woman 1984 soundtrack. I would also recommend "En Livstid i Krig" (Live "The Great Tour - Gothenburg) it is them singing in their native language and the crowd is great. En Livstid i Krig means "A Lifetime of War"
That Wacken 2019 show was an insane concert and without a doubt the best I've EVER seen of Sabaton. The tank, the guests, the lengths of the show, the pyros... wow...
Aaaand hat's OFF!! :D Yess "Swedish Pagans" live @wacken2019 is one of my favorite performance from them too. (Soo far) also "Night witches" and "Red Baron" live from The Great Tour (you can find them in their official YT chanel) is awesome and a MUST :) (personal opinion) . Enjoy!
Yeah, once I learned this is their normal opener I didn't think it was that bad and it probably got worked out real fast. It's very common to hear that in the beginning of sets for bands with floor monitors, so no big deal. Still loved it!
@@TankTheTech They start with Ghost Division is cause it gets the place pumped right at the start, it's not a technical song, meaning they can rock out and have fun, while the engineers can easily tweak the sound.
110% need to do Uprising from the same show. It’s about the Polish resistance in WW2. This festival was in Poland and the crowd was insane. They basically are required to play it in Poland cause they’re afraid of riots if they don’t. Also, idk if you saw, but Chris’s custom guitar that he uses now has a camo finish and costs $8,000
That must've been crazy. I saw them in Israel and we nearly brought the club down for Counterstrike. Can only imagine what it looks like X50 in an open air festival. And of course the Polish crowd has 2 great songs :)
40-1 & Uprising at Woodstock should be next. If you want to see some Polish pride, those two songs will display it. There isn't a bad Sabaton song, however there's a noticeable difference in key between album versions & live versions, but there's no difference in energy.
@@TankTheTech Typically they do that because the band doesn't do backing vocals on the album, but they do sing them live, so they play at a lower key so it sounds right since they're a bunch of baritones.
I got to see them live a few years back in Denver, CO. They were touring with Trivium and by God they tore down the house. I managed to get close enough to toss my hat on stage, (I got carried away in the moment..) and Joakim actually bent over mid song and picked it up and put it on his head. Man oh man, I wish I wouldve gotten that on video.
Sabaton goes crazy. Their energy is absolutely through the roof. Their lead guitarist, Chris Rorland, has mentioned a few fantastic guitar influences that I am a big fan of. Adrian Smith, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani. Plus, he's got some damn good gear I would kill to have. I went and did some digging and found his guitar roster over the past few years. I would say 82nd All The Way is a great one to check out, and then one that i'm personally biased towards "Ghost In The Trenches", is about the most highly decorated Native American soldier in Canadian military history and the most effective sniper of the First World War. But all in all, you really can't go wrong with anything these guys do. Killer video as always, bud! Looking forward to the next one!
Have seen them 3 times now. And beeing from Germany im also enjoying the "NOCH EIN BIER" for quite a lot. The most fun and some of the most intense concerts I've ever been.
I've been watching a good number of your reaction videos, and just wanted to let you know you're definitely one of the more likeable "reactors" I've watched. Maybe it's because you're something of an "insider" and actually know what you're looking at and hearing, and the lifelong musician in me simply appreciates that more than reactions from non-musicians. But a lot of reactors' reactions start coming off as rehearsed and over-the-top for the benefit of the camera. It's also nice to hear comments about more than just the lead singer and lead guitarist. Granted, a lot of reaction channels are along the lines of "vocal coach reacts to...", so I suppose it's natural that they'd focus on the singer; or "hip-hop fan reacts to metal", so you've got somebody who really doesn't know what they're hearing or simply isn't conditioned to pay attention to the "backup musicians". Oh, and I may as well give a band suggestion while I'm at it. It's not metal, but in the early 1970s there was a fantastic, all-female band called "Fanny". Very good players, they all sang, and they wrote most of their own stuff. Check out their song, "Blind Alley" - th-cam.com/video/bE3uwtegPEY/w-d-xo.html
Thumbs up for Fear Factory! Carolus Rex is a beast of a song by Sabaton 😊 There's a live version at Woodstock if you wanna check out. But I personally like the studio version for its epicness. Another killer performance by them from the same show is Uprising.
I would recommend their "En livstid i krig" live in Gothenburg just because the cool way it was filmed. Also song Great war has some epic pyro shots in official video.
I was already a big fan of Sabaton but after watching several of your reaction videos to them, I can't wait to see them live. I'm hoping to go to the show in Orlando in September!
Woodstock is absolutely a legendary performance from these guys but I definitely recommend seeing more recent live videos! They've been posting videos from their most recent tour that got cut off from covid 19. Must see recrnt videos include: The Red Baron, Night Witches, and En Livstid I Krig (this one was magical). Thanks for the reactions man, keep rocking 🤘🤘
Ahhh Sabaton. The band that you can go nuts rocking out to, or just quietly listen and learn about history. They're hilarious, amazing, and an absolute beast as a live act.
I was very blessed to see them live in a comparatively small venue (a decade ago... my how time flies) and Yes Joakim runs/ cannonballs around like that all show.. incredible band.. hope you keep checking them out.. and hope you get to see them live!
@@Happymali10 oohh.. that would be cool, she h!s a mom who can teach her singing and a dad that can teach her to play drums and I guess Hannes can play the guitar aswell so she'll be ready to go up in stage whenever she wants :)
Dude, I have had the pleasure of seeing them twice now, and both times they played a tiny, maybe 300 person venue in Calgary and both times they were amazing. They were fun, they goofed around with the crowd, they put on amazing sets, and are 100% worth seeing live. Correction, I've seen them three times.
I had the privilege to see Sabaton live in Edmonton last year during their Great War Tour. The power and energy, even in such a small venue, was Insane!
you should to the battle of the bands ! Sabaton - 82nd all the way. And after that its Amaranthe - 82nd all the way(sabaton cover) both are just pure awesomeness
Sabaton is pretty much my number one favourite band overall, seen them live 9 times and counting, first two times at a small local rockbar where the band could barely fit on stage, and they still tore the roof of the place!
Sabaton live is incredible. And Joakim has this kind of energy the whole time. I totally recommend to see them live if you have the chance. I have seen them multiple times and they always start with Ghost Division and they are running on the stage with the first line: "Fast as the wind, the invasion has begun". Other recommendations: The whole Wacken 2019 concert the bands 20th anniversary concert on 2 stages simultaneously (3 songs are on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/vPbaLrbU6Ho/w-d-xo.html, the rest was available on magenta music). On their TH-cam channel they are currently releasing a new live video from "The Great Tour" (Start of 2020) every Sunday. This year they played on Wacken world wide on the XR Stage (available on Magenta Music) Then there ist their History channel Sabtaton History where they go in depth on the songs background. Song recommendation i don't know where to start: 40-1, Night Witches, Winged Hussards, Midway, Carolus Rex, Swedish pagans (do this one on a live video). And before i forget: NOCH EIN BIER
They are the best live show ive ever seen. So much fun. Getting and entire theater singing Swedish pagans at max volume or night witches! I raise you a beer and then the winged hussars arrived!
Just found your channel, and I'm loving it! Sabaton is my favorite band! I was happy that when I made a comment about making a whole playlist of them live in said places their songs come from, they said it sounded like an amazing idea!
For cool ass live shows I’d recommend “Night Witches” and “The Red Baron” from the 2020 Great Tour (they went through Europe and a couple of shows in Russia before everything shut down). Both songs are fast and about pilots, Night Witches about the WW2 all-female Soviet 588th Night bomber regiment and the Red Baron about a German WW1 flying ace (whose name escapes me at the moment) with 80 confirmed kills. Both have a really interesting and fun camera angle, Night Witches dials up pyrotechnics to 11 (to someone with no experience in pyrotechnics) and the Red Baron shows off a lot more audience interaction and awesome props/customized instrument/what ever you can call what they did to that organ. It’s likely not gonna be to hard for you to find a show when we get the current situation under control, as in a normal year I’ve heard that they tour over 200 days. If you wanna check out some other music videos, my recommendations would be “Fields of Verdun” and “Seven Pillars of Wisdom”, both very well directed. The first showing some of the brutalities of WW1 trench warfare, and the second being filmed on location in the Sahara Desert with Indy Nidel who is the historian in Sabatons own history channel (heading back from shooting the band got into a pretty bad car accident, enough so that they had to cancel a couple of shows but they recovered, Indy wasn’t in the accident as he had an extra day of filming on camel back (they show some really cool photos from that on the relevant Sabaton History episode))
You should really listen to “en livstid I krig - live in Gothenburg”. The performance is amazing and it’s a bit different from what you’ve seen, I really think you would enjoy it. And it would be interesting to se you listen to them sing in Swedish (turn on subs to understand the lyrics). Cheers!
I've gotten to see Sabaton live once and it was absolutely awesome. Small venue so nothing too crazy happening on stage, but they absolutely had the same energy as if they were playing for a huge crowd. They opened for Nightwish and it's the only time I've gone to a show and one of the opening acts was just as incredible as the headliner.
I love this song from them, especially considering that Rommel was the leader of the Ghost Division. The man sent telegrams as if he lived in 2021. "Am on the coast" - Erwin Rommel Aside from that, I've seen them live twice. They're so amazing. They have amazing energy, Joakim smashes his knee over and over, and they have a great stage precense. They're also hilarious (though I think many of the jokes they cracked are just because of the many feuds Sweden and Denmark have had, and I saw them in Copenhagen the second time around(first time in Belgium)). Sabaton is one of my favorite bands. Not exactly what I look to listen to every day, but by god, would I go see them live again if I had the chance. This band is amazing, and educational at the same time. All around amazing.
Dude, I am right there with you my man. I'm slowly but surely discovering a lot more music as well in my free time. Between you and Chase, other reactors, YT, Spotify, etc. Hell, I started really listening to Unleash the Archers during this, to the point where in a month or two I had listened to their entire discography. But who the hell knows when I'll get to see them live.
It's cool to see videos of the band with these huge crowds. They started out in the small town where I grew up and so I've only seen them live in very small settings.
Fields of Verdun, Gott mit uns, No Bullets Fly...there are a lot of great Songs. I was to their show in January just before Corona and it was a blast. They're funny guys, too. And with every song you get another history lesson. And Tank, that was another great reaction 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love me some Sabaton, got to see them live last year when they were touring with Hammerfall and they both blew the house down. Glad to see another person who started TH-cam during the pandemic having fun with it and your channel doing well. We'll get to see these amazing shows soon enough, just gotta be patient! If you haven't checked them out before then check out beast in black. Maybe their song "Berserker" or "Blind and frozen"
It's a four-day festival with the total attendance of 550K in 2013, not just Sabaton's show. Furthermore entry & camping were both free of charge which explains the attendance of over 0,5M people.
Its highly suggested to watch Sabaton's whole "Great Saturday" series of videos they've been putting out the last few months. Cameraman on stage with the band while they play from their latest tour. For bonus points it has Apocalyptica and Amaranthe playing with them for a few of the videos/songs as they toured together.
one of the best live bands out there. they are on a similiar level like Guadian, Maiden, Rammstein... I've never felt more energy from a band, from a crowd, just overall then at a Sabaton concert... you really gotta see them if you get the chance. btw, this live DVD is more than worth watching/purchasing! again, one of the best live dvds that atleast I have seen :)
Yes, go see this band as soon as you can. I've been to many shows and they ALWAYS put on a fantastic show. You will be involved. Sabaton gets the crowd going with every show.
I have seen them live twice - once as opening act for Iron Maiden in Gothenburg and once when I worked security at the Gates of Metal festival. They are absolutely wild. When I worked security, I was standing next to one of the speaker arrays and suddenly, I had Joakim's boot bang down next to my head.
Great reaction! Blind Guardian use in the outro was a nice nod to the runner-up in the Patreon poll. Fear Factory intro took me back 20 some-odd years. hahaha
Some years ago i was at the summer breeze festival and Sabaton was one of the many headliners. The energy and the crowd control of Joakim Brodén is just amazing. Between the songs he talked with the crowd and you quickly noticed that the whole band has a lot of fun. I don't how this developed but the crowd shouted almost after every song " noch ein Bier" which means in english "one more beer" and he the sanger had to drink a lot of beer cans in one go. It was great show \m/ Greetings from Germany
I've seen them live four times now. Always a full on energetic performance regardless of the crowd size. They just love performing. Their interaction with the crowd is always great. Lots of humor. The smallest show I saw them at was in Charlotte. Perhaps 150? 200? people. They didn't back down and even came out to hang with us after the show. I have a great group photo taken with them. Very humble guys. Definitely get to a show whenever the current craziness ends. Fun fact: At their ProgPower USA performance, Joakim split his pants during the show and performed the rest of the show with Duck Tape around his crotch.
Probably said before but reading up on the historic event the song is about beforehand gives an deeper understanding and appreciation of the lyrics and their meaning. 40-1 is a great example. The only thing most people have heard about Polish troops is the horse riding cavalry attacking German tanks. 40-1 tells the truth that the Polish could, and did, kick ass with the best of them.
they had very little pyro on that festival/tour compared to what they do bring on tours today. today they even bring their own drum riser in the shape of a model tank. latest tour to support their "the great war" album, they brought barbed wires, wide stairs for their choir to stand on and LOTS of pyro (both flames and fireworks)
i’ve had the privilege to see this band live, and they were killer. small venue, big energy. during one of their last songs, they brought this young girl on stage cause she was rocking so hard in the crowd. the lead singer said she was missing bad merch and gave her his sunglasses. she rocked out on state with them during the song. one of the best sets ever :)
I’ve seen them several times and have tickets for next year and believe me, it’s not a show you want to miss. Like Nightwish, Sabaton is a total rabbit hole. For the longest time, my favorite Sabaton songs were Carolus Rex and Night Witches but when they released The Great War last year, I immediately fell in love with Attack of the Deadmen. Amazing song and even more incredible story. Check it out.
I agree, you should see Sabaton live. I have seen them live once just before things closed down... and when they can tour again and they come near my place again... I AM SO GOING AGAIN. Was fun to watch your reaction and there are quite a few songs you could watch. One I really like is Bismarck, 40-1 and Carolus Rex.
During their last tour the drum kit was put in a tank and there is a replica tri-plane with the organ, for the song Red Baron. And the front of the stage is set up with barbed wire like no-mans land. The band's set-up has changed since then and today the drummer is Mr. Floor Jansen :-)
My favorite song from Sabaton is easily Carolus Rex. It's the title track for the album with the same name and it was the album to get them their first platinum award. Album description: Powerful lyrics, huge production, heavy riffs and everything put together creates an epic sound. Most people would get bored after 2 or 3 songs of this kind of album but every song is something new, a surprise, if you want. From having coir singing a prayer in Carolean's Prayer and the 153bpm double kick drums of Lion From the North to the flowing guitar riffs of Gott Mit Uns and the powerful and intimidating lyrics of Carolus Rex.
Sabaton is my absolute favorite band, their energy on stage is incredible, you will definitely not be disappointed. I'm lucky as the venue I've seen them at 3 times now, The Fillmore Silver Spring, is only about 500 person capacity, or less. Seeing a band with that kind of energy in such a tiny venue is really something you can't imagine.
actually they have an annual festival in the swedish town Falun. If i am to mistaken it is planned again for next august. It is called 'sabaton open air'.
I got to see them several times over the years. They are as involved with the crowd now as they were early on. Surprisingly I got to talk to them after a show and they were absolutely awesome in their humility. I heartily recommend their playing 40:1 in Poland.
Saw these guys in Houston back in 2015 when they opened for Nightwish. Not sure who got the better reception, Nightwish or Sabaton. The show was killer.
I was at WoodStock last year for parkway drive and holy fuck! im irish and the polish people are amazing! and that festival was fucking insane! cant wait to get back
"The audio is gonna be killer.." 😬 Saw them live last year and I wish I had 10% of Joakim's energy. That dude must be drinking redbull like water or something.
You can never go wrong with any of their songs. How about something different? Sabaton did killer covers for Metallica’s For Whom the Bell Tolls and Rammstein’s Feuer Frei. Maybe Battle of the Bands with Sabaton soon?
Great reaction as usual my man! Interestingly since this was a few years back they weren't putting a lot of pyro in their sets but if you see some of their shows now arena or outdoor they've upped their pyro game on a whole other level 🙌🤘
I gotta say their live show is phenomenal!! I'll just say that. As for the pyro... check out any song of them from Wacken 2015... they have a tank drum riser!!! (Yes with pyro shooting out of it)
Angels calling, 7 pillars of wisdom, fields of verdun, 82nd all the way, great war, winged hussars, Sparta. That's just a few off the top my head, get into them you will not be disappointed I wasn't, and being a veteran, listening to them tell the tales from war history no judgement or bias is brilliant.
I just found you on youtube and having seen them in cardiff this recent april, i must say, they are well worth watching and ill 100% be watching them next time theyre live in cardiff again
If you get lucky, they may just tour with Nightwish again 🤞. My first time hearing them was when they opened for Nightwish and I was an instant fan. We also chatted to Joakim for a bit after the show and he was such a nice guy!
You do have to see this band. They are the most energetic live band ever. You can tell they're having a blast, the crowd is always wildand it's a great time! My favorite song is Night Witches.
I have see them 3time in french, that's one of me favorite band. One Time the singer lost is voice and to stop after 3song so two guitar player for the rest of the show and it was verry cool
Went to Montreal for their Show last year in October, it was a small room and we were real close to the stage, it was lit! You should check The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, my personal best song.
82nd All The Way and The Last Stand love videos from the Great Tour really shows how much fun they have on stage. They love to fuck with each other to the point where Joakim laughs in the middle of a verse. Definitely check those out!
They got a crowd of Polish people to headbang to a song about a German tank division. Not bad.
I guess metal is like Nokia - connecting people :) The truth is there's no second band singing about Polish history( not even in Poland) like Sabaton . Songs like 40:1 (about battle of Wizna) , Uprising ( Warsaw uprising) or Winged hussars ( Polish cavalry known as Polish hussars) are just examples why they have so many fans in Poland :)

the song is more about the 700 polish soldiers who defended themself against the german army
@Orlando Rotundo The song is about the invasion of France in 1940, specifically the 7th panzer division which was led by Rommel
One very notable thing, Joacim is running around and singing at the same time. Without his voice changing. That is pretty impressive.

Q: does Sabaton have a tank?

Named artie and murphy after the most decorated U.S soldier in history
I thought the second one is named Walter?
Anyway these guys always have a big smile on their faces when it comes to their own Tanks
Adorible!
I would recommend "Swedish Pagans" live at Wacken 2019.
It was their 20th Anniversary Show so they played on two separate stages at once.

Also, their current drummer, Hannes van Dahl (Floor Jansen's husband ) has a tank on stage!
Great choises👍
He could do a double. En livstid i krig (with eng subs) and a Lifetime of war. The same melody but two different lyrics.
The feedback issue was solved right at the beginning of the show since this song was and always is their opener.
Yeah, once I learned this is their normal opener I didn't think it was that bad and it probably got worked out real fast. It's very common to hear that in the beginning of sets for bands with floor monitors, so no big deal. Still loved it!

man there's a reason Ghost Division is their usual opener. such a powerful and energetic song!
Saboton typically physically warms up doing sit-ups, etc. before their performances so their energy is already jacked up when they hit the stage
One of my favourite Sabaton songs... This has some drive into it...
Have seen them 3 times now.
And beeing from Germany im also enjoying the "NOCH EIN BIER" for quite a lot. The most fun and some of the most intense concerts I've ever been.

I was very blessed to see them live in a comparatively small venue (a decade ago... my how time flies) and Yes Joakim runs/ cannonballs around like that all show.. incredible band.. hope you keep checking them out.. and hope you get to see them live!
"I have to see this band" 😂😂😂
Yeeess let's goooooo!!!!
So informative Tank and enthusiastic! Great reaction!🌷
From Sabaton:
Fields of Verdun
Night wishes
The Lost Battalion
To Hell and Back
Carolus Rex
Many others, it's actually hard to make a wrong choice.
Right
I’m loving your facts you’re putting in. It’s fantastic.
Just what I needed today. Thank you!
"I love pyro in shows"
_Rammstein has entered the chat_
If I am not mistaken, Floor Jansen is married to the current drummer of Sabaton Hannes Van Dahl.
Yep.. that's true and the have a daughter named Freya ( after the Norse mythology goddess of love, beauty etc) :)
The current drummer, not the one in this video
you are correct it was that connection that made me discover Nightwish
@@Tweetyfreaky If that kid doesn't go on to make some amazing music.....
@@Happymali10 oohh.. that would be cool, she h!s a mom who can teach her singing and a dad that can teach her to play drums and I guess Hannes can play the guitar aswell so she'll be ready to go up in stage whenever she wants :)
Your commentary and observations about bands and their rigs from a rodies perspective is awesome. Great reaction channel man, rock on.
Thank you so much! Much appreciated!
Yes. You do have to see this band! I've seen them multiple times and every time they rocked it.
Nice touch having “Valhalla” playing in the bg.
Thanks!
THE BARDS!!!
seen them live a few times, and it´s just an amazing experience every time, always gives a good show and just tons of energy on stage
Dude, I have had the pleasure of seeing them twice now, and both times they played a tiny, maybe 300 person venue in Calgary and both times they were amazing. They were fun, they goofed around with the crowd, they put on amazing sets, and are 100% worth seeing live.
Correction, I've seen them three times.
Sabaton is really excellent live. In the tour I saw them, the entire drum riser was a giant tank. Great energy, true showmen.
I had the privilege to see Sabaton live in Edmonton last year during their Great War Tour. The power and energy, even in such a small venue, was Insane!
you should to the battle of the bands ! Sabaton - 82nd all the way. And after that its Amaranthe - 82nd all the way(sabaton cover) both are just pure awesomeness
The thing is, both bands have done better songs. As much as comparisons are neat. Sorry if comment came across wrong.
Why do a battle of the bands when the Sabatons live video features Amaranthe? Best of both worlds 😂🤘
Lauren Fericy point well made lol
No one:
Sabaton fans: THEY ARE THE PANZER ELITE!!!!
BORN TO COMPETE!!! NEVER RETREAT!!!
(Ghost division!)
Living or dead fed by your dread always ahead
First video of yours I've seen, and by 1:38 I knew I liked you! Great band, great reaction!
Sabaton is pretty much my number one favourite band overall, seen them live 9 times and counting, first two times at a small local rockbar where the band could barely fit on stage, and they still tore the roof of the place!
Sabaton live is incredible. And Joakim has this kind of energy the whole time. I totally recommend to see them live if you have the chance. I have seen them multiple times and they always start with Ghost Division and they are running on the stage with the first line: "Fast as the wind, the invasion has begun".
Other recommendations: The whole Wacken 2019 concert the bands 20th anniversary concert on 2 stages simultaneously (3 songs are on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/vPbaLrbU6Ho/w-d-xo.html, the rest was available on magenta music).
On their TH-cam channel they are currently releasing a new live video from "The Great Tour" (Start of 2020) every Sunday.
This year they played on Wacken world wide on the XR Stage (available on Magenta Music)
Then there ist their History channel Sabtaton History where they go in depth on the songs background.
Song recommendation i don't know where to start: 40-1, Night Witches, Winged Hussards, Midway, Carolus Rex, Swedish pagans (do this one on a live video).
And before i forget:
NOCH EIN BIER
They are the best live show ive ever seen. So much fun. Getting and entire theater singing Swedish pagans at max volume or night witches!
I raise you a beer and then the winged hussars arrived!
@@CailynCara yep they have one of the best live shows every single time. But i have seen Ramstein too and thats hard to beat
Even at smaller venues they still put in the same amount of energy as during that video.
@@aftonblau2615 oh yea i was in copenhagen on a tuesday and it was so energetic
Sabaton - En Livstid i Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg)
Great song in original language and on home ground 😎🤘🤘
Soon. 😎
@@TankTheTech Nice, mayby use subtitles :)
I've been recommended doing that a few times, so I definitely will!
Just found your channel, and I'm loving it! Sabaton is my favorite band! I was happy that when I made a comment about making a whole playlist of them live in said places their songs come from, they said it sounded like an amazing idea!
For cool ass live shows I’d recommend “Night Witches” and “The Red Baron” from the 2020 Great Tour (they went through Europe and a couple of shows in Russia before everything shut down). Both songs are fast and about pilots, Night Witches about the WW2 all-female Soviet 588th Night bomber regiment and the Red Baron about a German WW1 flying ace (whose name escapes me at the moment) with 80 confirmed kills.
Both have a really interesting and fun camera angle, Night Witches dials up pyrotechnics to 11 (to someone with no experience in pyrotechnics) and the Red Baron shows off a lot more audience interaction and awesome props/customized instrument/what ever you can call what they did to that organ.
It’s likely not gonna be to hard for you to find a show when we get the current situation under control, as in a normal year I’ve heard that they tour over 200 days.
If you wanna check out some other music videos, my recommendations would be “Fields of Verdun” and “Seven Pillars of Wisdom”, both very well directed. The first showing some of the brutalities of WW1 trench warfare, and the second being filmed on location in the Sahara Desert with Indy Nidel who is the historian in Sabatons own history channel (heading back from shooting the band got into a pretty bad car accident, enough so that they had to cancel a couple of shows but they recovered, Indy wasn’t in the accident as he had an extra day of filming on camel back (they show some really cool photos from that on the relevant Sabaton History episode))
Manfred von Richthofen is the name of the Red Baron!!
7 Pillars of Wisdom for sure!
You should really listen to “en livstid I krig - live in Gothenburg”. The performance is amazing and it’s a bit different from what you’ve seen, I really think you would enjoy it. And it would be interesting to se you listen to them sing in Swedish (turn on subs to understand the lyrics). Cheers!
Thanks, man! Nice one to wake up with. Always love their energy and the no nonsence power of their songs.
I've gotten to see Sabaton live once and it was absolutely awesome. Small venue so nothing too crazy happening on stage, but they absolutely had the same energy as if they were playing for a huge crowd. They opened for Nightwish and it's the only time I've gone to a show and one of the opening acts was just as incredible as the headliner.
I love this song from them, especially considering that Rommel was the leader of the Ghost Division. The man sent telegrams as if he lived in 2021. "Am on the coast" - Erwin Rommel
Aside from that, I've seen them live twice. They're so amazing. They have amazing energy, Joakim smashes his knee over and over, and they have a great stage precense. They're also hilarious (though I think many of the jokes they cracked are just because of the many feuds Sweden and Denmark have had, and I saw them in Copenhagen the second time around(first time in Belgium)). Sabaton is one of my favorite bands. Not exactly what I look to listen to every day, but by god, would I go see them live again if I had the chance. This band is amazing, and educational at the same time. All around amazing.
Dude, I am right there with you my man. I'm slowly but surely discovering a lot more music as well in my free time. Between you and Chase, other reactors, YT, Spotify, etc. Hell, I started really listening to Unleash the Archers during this, to the point where in a month or two I had listened to their entire discography. But who the hell knows when I'll get to see them live.
Sabation- Winged Hussars
- Primo Victoria.
40:1
@@OrkarIsberEstar baptized in fire 40 to 1
It is too early for the WINGED HUSSARS to arrive.
It's cool to see videos of the band with these huge crowds. They started out in the small town where I grew up and so I've only seen them live in very small settings.
Where my Panzer Elite at? Nice one, man. This was their opening song at the Woodstock Poland Festival.
Fields of Verdun, Gott mit uns, No Bullets Fly...there are a lot of great Songs.
I was to their show in January just before Corona and it was a blast. They're funny guys, too.
And with every song you get another history lesson.
And Tank, that was another great reaction 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love me some Sabaton, got to see them live last year when they were touring with Hammerfall and they both blew the house down. Glad to see another person who started TH-cam during the pandemic having fun with it and your channel doing well. We'll get to see these amazing shows soon enough, just gotta be patient!
If you haven't checked them out before then check out beast in black. Maybe their song "Berserker" or "Blind and frozen"
These guys are awesome live. One of my favorite shows I've ever been to. They don't disappoint live.
Any of the videos from their Great Tour are amazing. 82nd All the Way with Amaranthe is a current favorite - out of all my favorites!
It's a four-day festival with the total attendance of 550K in 2013, not just Sabaton's show. Furthermore entry & camping were both free of charge which explains the attendance of over 0,5M people.
i saw sabaton back in 2010 in berlin when they played it front of maybe 400 ppl. it was a hell of a show. sabaton is the reason i became a metalhead
Its highly suggested to watch Sabaton's whole "Great Saturday" series of videos they've been putting out the last few months. Cameraman on stage with the band while they play from their latest tour. For bonus points it has Apocalyptica and Amaranthe playing with them for a few of the videos/songs as they toured together.
one of the best live bands out there. they are on a similiar level like Guadian, Maiden, Rammstein... I've never felt more energy from a band, from a crowd, just overall then at a Sabaton concert... you really gotta see them if you get the chance.
btw, this live DVD is more than worth watching/purchasing! again, one of the best live dvds that atleast I have seen :)
Yes, go see this band as soon as you can. I've been to many shows and they ALWAYS put on a fantastic show. You will be involved. Sabaton gets the crowd going with every show.
I have seen them live twice - once as opening act for Iron Maiden in Gothenburg and once when I worked security at the Gates of Metal festival. They are absolutely wild. When I worked security, I was standing next to one of the speaker arrays and suddenly, I had Joakim's boot bang down next to my head.
Great reaction! Blind Guardian use in the outro was a nice nod to the runner-up in the Patreon poll. Fear Factory intro took me back 20 some-odd years. hahaha
Some years ago i was at the summer breeze festival and Sabaton was one of the many headliners. The energy and the crowd control of Joakim Brodén is just amazing. Between the songs he talked with the crowd and you quickly noticed that the whole band has a lot of fun. I don't how this developed but the crowd shouted almost after every song " noch ein Bier" which means in english "one more beer" and he the sanger had to drink a lot of beer cans in one go. It was great show \m/
Greetings from Germany
I've seen them live four times now. Always a full on energetic performance regardless of the crowd size. They just love performing. Their interaction with the crowd is always great. Lots of humor. The smallest show I saw them at was in Charlotte. Perhaps 150? 200? people. They didn't back down and even came out to hang with us after the show. I have a great group photo taken with them. Very humble guys. Definitely get to a show whenever the current craziness ends. Fun fact: At their ProgPower USA performance, Joakim split his pants during the show and performed the rest of the show with Duck Tape around his crotch.
3 songs at wacken 2019 annnnddd GO!!! Great content dude loving every moment!
Probably said before but reading up on the historic event the song is about beforehand gives an deeper understanding and appreciation of the lyrics and their meaning. 40-1 is a great example. The only thing most people have heard about Polish troops is the horse riding cavalry attacking German tanks. 40-1 tells the truth that the Polish could, and did, kick ass with the best of them.
they had very little pyro on that festival/tour compared to what they do bring on tours today. today they even bring their own drum riser in the shape of a model tank. latest tour to support their "the great war" album, they brought barbed wires, wide stairs for their choir to stand on and LOTS of pyro (both flames and fireworks)
yeah, Sabaton is still on my bucketlist too
hope to see them sometimes somewhere
You can't be wrong with any of their songs - live or official video ;-) Love your reactions
Saw them three times. Totally worth it 🤘🏻 the energy is unbelievable.
i’ve had the privilege to see this band live, and they were killer. small venue, big energy.
during one of their last songs, they brought this young girl on stage cause she was rocking so hard in the crowd. the lead singer said she was missing bad merch and gave her his sunglasses. she rocked out on state with them during the song.
one of the best sets ever :)
I definitely recommend seeing them live. Saw them in Chicago in October 2019. I drove 2 and a half hours just to see them. WORTH it. I loved them.
I’ve seen them several times and have tickets for next year and believe me, it’s not a show you want to miss. Like Nightwish, Sabaton is a total rabbit hole. For the longest time, my favorite Sabaton songs were Carolus Rex and Night Witches but when they released The Great War last year, I immediately fell in love with Attack of the Deadmen. Amazing song and even more incredible story. Check it out.
I agree, you should see Sabaton live. I have seen them live once just before things closed down... and when they can tour again and they come near my place again... I AM SO GOING AGAIN. Was fun to watch your reaction and there are quite a few songs you could watch. One I really like is Bismarck, 40-1 and Carolus Rex.
During their last tour the drum kit was put in a tank and there is a replica tri-plane with the organ, for the song Red Baron. And the front of the stage is set up with barbed wire like no-mans land. The band's set-up has changed since then and today the drummer is Mr. Floor Jansen :-)
My favorite song from Sabaton is easily Carolus Rex. It's the title track for the album with the same name and it was the album to get them their first platinum award. Album description: Powerful lyrics, huge production, heavy riffs and everything put together creates an epic sound. Most people would get bored after 2 or 3 songs of this kind of album but every song is something new, a surprise, if you want. From having coir singing a prayer in Carolean's Prayer and the 153bpm double kick drums of Lion From the North to the flowing guitar riffs of Gott Mit Uns and the powerful and intimidating lyrics of Carolus Rex.
Sabaton is my absolute favorite band, their energy on stage is incredible, you will definitely not be disappointed. I'm lucky as the venue I've seen them at 3 times now, The Fillmore Silver Spring, is only about 500 person capacity, or less. Seeing a band with that kind of energy in such a tiny venue is really something you can't imagine.
actually they have an annual festival in the swedish town Falun. If i am to mistaken it is planned again for next august. It is called 'sabaton open air'.
I got to see them several times over the years. They are as involved with the crowd now as they were early on. Surprisingly I got to talk to them after a show and they were absolutely awesome in their humility. I heartily recommend their playing 40:1 in Poland.
I saw that one. Absolutely amazing!
Great reaction!! Like others said Uprising live in Woodstock 2012 please react to that... It's epic as hell!
Saw these guys in Houston back in 2015 when they opened for Nightwish. Not sure who got the better reception, Nightwish or Sabaton. The show was killer.
Gawd... that would have been the most unbelievable show... me=jealous
I missed my chance to see that tour my self and i am still kicking my self
That was a fantastic show. Only problem was that Sabaton went so hard, I was wiped by the time Nightwish took the stage 😂
I was at WoodStock last year for parkway drive and holy fuck! im irish and the polish people are amazing! and that festival was fucking insane! cant wait to get back
"The audio is gonna be killer.." 😬
Saw them live last year and I wish I had 10% of Joakim's energy. That dude must be drinking redbull like water or something.
nah, Joakim is beer fueled :)
Obviously
You can never go wrong with any of their songs. How about something different? Sabaton did killer covers for Metallica’s For Whom the Bell Tolls and Rammstein’s Feuer Frei. Maybe Battle of the Bands with Sabaton soon?
They have amazing covers... some more to mention are
Out of control
In the army now
Twilight of the thunder god
En hjaltes vag
Camouflage
🤘
@@Babcemakedonce1 Für immer
Great reaction as usual my man!
Interestingly since this was a few years back they weren't putting a lot of pyro in their sets but if you see some of their shows now arena or outdoor they've upped their pyro game on a whole other level 🙌🤘
I gotta say their live show is phenomenal!! I'll just say that. As for the pyro... check out any song of them from Wacken 2015... they have a tank drum riser!!! (Yes with pyro shooting out of it)
Angels calling, 7 pillars of wisdom, fields of verdun, 82nd all the way, great war, winged hussars, Sparta. That's just a few off the top my head, get into them you will not be disappointed I wasn't, and being a veteran, listening to them tell the tales from war history no judgement or bias is brilliant.
Favorite song by them. And what a performance, pure energy
They give a great show. I saw them at House of Blues in Dallas their last time through.
I hope you see them soon! They are amazing live. Amazing with the crowd. Especially at a festival when also their friends Powerwolf play :D
I just found you on youtube and having seen them in cardiff this recent april, i must say, they are well worth watching and ill 100% be watching them next time theyre live in cardiff again
If you get lucky, they may just tour with Nightwish again 🤞. My first time hearing them was when they opened for Nightwish and I was an instant fan. We also chatted to Joakim for a bit after the show and he was such a nice guy!
Yes..... You HAVE to see Sabaton, they're absolutely incredible! Up there with maiden live for me also check out fields of verdun!
You do have to see this band. They are the most energetic live band ever. You can tell they're having a blast, the crowd is always wildand it's a great time! My favorite song is Night Witches.
They are not only a great band but also great guys. I had the chance to hang out with them backstage at forta rock in 2014.
I got to see them in October when they came to Portland with Hammerfall. It was the best show I've ever seen
I have see them 3time in french, that's one of me favorite band. One Time the singer lost is voice and to stop after 3song so two guitar player for the rest of the show and it was verry cool
Went to Montreal for their Show last year in October, it was a small room and we were real close to the stage, it was lit! You should check The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, my personal best song.
I have to see this band too! Awesome!
82nd All The Way and The Last Stand love videos from the Great Tour really shows how much fun they have on stage. They love to fuck with each other to the point where Joakim laughs in the middle of a verse. Definitely check those out!
Literally everything. Please just do the whole catalog. But specifically, Into the Fire. Incredibly energetic video.
