As a Swede I love Sabaton, especially their Swedish songs hit harder for me. This song is from their album Carolus Rex which is about Sweden's "The great power of era" between about 1611-1718. This particular song is about the "30 year war" from a Swedish soldier's perspective. The whole Carolus Rex album has the "same" song's in both Swedish and English version's, but the lyrics differ from the respective versions. And yeah no shame to feel emotional during this one, I feel the same when listening to it.
The change in the lyrics between the English and Swedish versions is honestly what makes the deluxe version of Carolus Rex their best album, imo. There's just something special about it. Instead if it being a case of "well let's translate it as closely as we can" between the English and the Swedish tracks, they use the opportunity to add something magical to the storytelling. It lets them approach the same songs from a different direction and lets both versions supplement one another, and it's something I've never run into with any other band out there. Love these guys.
This is a strong strong reaction!!! The language is Swedish. and the band, Sabaton. is from the city of Falun in Sweden. One of Sabatons most legendary liveshows is actually from 2012 at the Woodstock festival (in Poland) - The last band and the last show of the festival with over 600 000 in the crowd! The whole show was broadcasted LIVE in Polish TV ...and is absolutely amazing!!!...When Sabaton start singing their songs about Polish "Uprising" and "40:1" - The temperature goes sky high!!!! According to me though, their very best number is .... their first song "Ghost Division" ...THAT ONE sets the pace for the whole concert!!!!
@@dicodec Theres a second version in English. Same song but different song. English version is a general overview while this one is from the pov of a Swedish soldier.
40:1 from the same concert, they are playing in Poland, the song is about the last stand of the Polish army during the German invasion of September 1939. The amount of pride in the crowd loving this song is amazing to see. Ghost Division is a great live song and there's a reason they always open their live performances with that song, but 40:1 is a nice contrast to that song I feel, since Ghost Division is a about a panzer division crucial for the amount of success the Nazi war machine had in the invasion of other countries, like Poland, although it didn't participate in that invasion.
the last concert i went to was the one you just saw. Sabaton in Scandinavium, Göteborg. it was totally amazing. Then Corona came and locked everything down. They sung in swedish
This was my last concert too before the pandemic. Standing somewhere up front to the left of the stage. The sing along part was completely deafening and I cannot say things that are good enough about that concert.
The last concert i went to was the Sabaton concert in Stockholm the day after the one you just saw from Gothenburg. Sabaton at Hovet in Stockholm was also totally amazing. I hope I can se them in my hometown Linköping next year.
Last year Sabaton did some collaboration projects with animators making new music videos. No Bullets Fly has a special commentary about the people involved in the story so watch til the very end
The same goes for Night Witches, another animated video (highly recommended). For another awesome live performance from Sabaton, check out "Uprising" live at Woodstock Poland. It's about the Polish Resistance rising up against the Nazis in Warsaw 1944.
They are Swedish, and they are big in Sweden, but HUGE in Poland (if you react to 40:1 or Uprising live from Woodstock you'll see what I mean). The Song is about the 30 year War in Europe (1618-1648) The Thirty Years' War was a conflict primarily fought in Central Europe from 1618 to 1648. Estimates of total military and civilian deaths range from 4.5 to 8 million, mostly from disease or starvation. In some areas of Germany, it has been suggested that up to 60% of the population died. Starting as a battle among the Catholic and Protestant states that formed the Holy Roman Empire. However, as the Thirty Years’ War evolved, it became less about religion and more about which group would ultimately govern Europe. In the end, the conflict changed the geopolitical face of Europe and the role of religion and nation-states in society. At some point more or less, every major European power (at the Time) joined the War on one side or the Other. But just try and imagine 30 years of War, specially at the time where people didn't get as old at we do today. And you guys are right, albums and studio music are good, but its live you'll see who is great, the chemistry, crowd interaction, the lack of "studio magic" etc. I usually compare it go going to a sports event, I mean its good to watch football in front of your TV, but being at Stadium that is on another level.
Thanks so much for the insight!! That was quite the interesting read. After hearing the studio version of this song. It sounds dope but this version definitely hits harder.
Saw Sabaton today!!! In Karlskrona/Sweden. My 13-year-old son's first concert and we sang together with the people and the band to this particular song///greetings from Sweden
I was at this show and it was fucking amazing (sitting in the middle of the platform on the left from this view of the strage) sadly this was just before covid started canceling shows (had planed 1 festival and around 5 other shows for once) Just before this song, Jocke asked everyone to hold up their phone since no one carries a lighter around anymore
Great and genuine reaction! Thanks guys! The last show I went to was actually the one this video is from. The experience was unreal and I still can't watch this without crying. They are SO GOOD live 🙈😭❤
The amazing thing with Sabaton is that they sing about war and battle but often from the perspective of underdogs, the few survivors, the one that sacrificed his/her life.. the person behind the history lessons.. that makes everyone loving their music. No matter if it is about your iwn countey or not. This is a son about a swedish soldier in the 30 years war.. but it is loved everywhere as so many can identify the feelings if that soldier no matter nationality. Thats why for example in Woodstock Poland the crowd goes wild when sabaton sings 40:1 about 1000 polish soldier that stood up against 40000 german soldiers for three days.. and the next song is about the german panzer division.. their old enemies.. and the crowd loves it and sings along just as much. So why not look at 40:1 live at Woodstock with a crowd of around 500 000 people :)
Swedish! They are from Sweden! :) This is one beautiful song and a awesome live performance! They got so many good live performances! Last time I watched someone live it was this band a couple of years ago. Best consert ever! 😁
@@dicodec On their official youtube channel you can find more live performances and all of the live shows from the great tour are filmed with this view from the stage with the band! got some real bangers! Also some more songs singed in swedish like Lejonet från norden (lion from the north) Also this song you reacted to is from a album called Carolus Rex wich they did both swedish and english versions of almost every song! Just some fun info! Good luck on your sabaton adventure! :D
So glad you found the subtitles, many people overlook that there is sub for this Sabaton's non English videos. And Sabaton is a super chill group and allows people to freely do reactions on their music, because the stories they tell, in many cases need to be heard. Life time of war and En lifstid I krig tell two different stories. Lifetime of War tells the story of the 30 years war through the eyes of the European powers of the time. And you know of course what En lifstid I krig is about. All their music, apart from a few, are about history, that is their soul focus. Go and browse through their channel. Two I would suggest is Attack of the Dead men and Bismarck. Enjoy.
Officials music videos have amazing production value. From Sabaton filming from inside a Tank for Primo Victoria, the Battle of the Bulge reenactors for Screaming Eagles, on a boat at sea for Bismarck, in the Sahara Desert for Seven Pillars of Wisdom, or Peter Stormare dressed as an SS soldier in Poland for Uprising. Their lyric videos are equally great because they include bits of historical context for the stories while also being visually interesting to watch, especially The Final Solution which is just heartwrenching. Sabaton's live shows are just as good, particularly the Great Tour because it's recorded from stage looking out into the crowd, and you see the band genuinely enjoying interacting with the crowd and each other during their performance. Then you have their growing animated music videos with Yarnhub that combine storytelling and music and the building blocks Future of Warfare which is just a blast to watch. There's no wrong answer for "which type of video should I watch for Sabaton's music?" Because they're all awesome.
My last live show was actually Sabaton in Dallas. I've seen Sabaton live 3 times and are hands down the best band to see live. You can just feel the energy and passion that they put into everything they do. If you haven't seen them live, then you are doing yourselves a great disservice.
My teenage son actually introduced me to Sabaton driving home from an Iron Maiden concert. I took him to see them live in 2019, we were front row leaning on the barrier.... It was hands down one of my top 5 concerts. You need to see them live!! You will not be disappointed!
I think that it helps that this concert was in Gothenburg - which was established in 1621 in the period they are singing about when they were fighting the Danes, Norwegians Poles and the Holy Roman Empire and generally winning too.
I saw someone else comment this one time before and it's true. Crying to Sabaton is a right of passage! There's a lot of metal songs that bring up the water works no matter how many times I listen to it. Great reaction!
Здравствуйте, друзья! Мне нравится эта группа. Она даёт чувство единения с миром. Я тоже, как и вы, хотела бы быть в той толпе и подпевать. Я обратила внимание тоже, как и ты, Эрик, на съёмку со стороны сцены в зал и заметила, как солист повернулся и поблагодарил того, кто был в глубине сцены (или мне показалось?) Я пересмотрела этот отрывок и пришла к такому выводу. Действительно, ведь не важно на каком языке поют. Главное, какие чувства вызывают у слушателей. Сейчас мне хотелось быть там, в вашей студии, и переживать с вами этот момент прослушивания этой песни. Спасибо, дорогие, за реакцию. У вас я питаюсь духовно, познавая разную музыку. Жду с нетерпением ваши реакции.
the last live show i went to was actually sabaton in stockholm february last year. it was honestly the best live performance ive ever seen. they are so damn good live.
This takes me back. It was exactly 1 year ago and the last concert i managed to see before... Well you know.... Fantastic experience standing in a sea of about 10 000 people, all singing along the entire song. Also good thing you had the subtitles on, the song hits hard when you understand them.
Great reaction again!!! I just love this band and the fact you feel the same is awesome!! Also they sing this in Swedish the Carolus Rex álbum from 2012 it's about the Sweden empire in the seventeen century and part of the eighteen century this álbum was launched in two version's the English version and the Sweden version and the awesome thing about it is that the songs have different lirycs in each version and so many fans not matter the country thinks the Sweden versión is better... For me the two are awesome! Again just love your reaction and i hope to seen more Sabaton in your channel 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
This song always gives me chills, one of my favourite songs by them. You guys should check out Amaranthe with their cover song on Sabaton's 82nd All The Way
I don't blame you this song definitely gave us the chills as well. Actually filmed an Amaranth reaction the other day it was killer. Definitely want to hear more 🤘😀
the attack of the dead men-sabaton live in London. great reaction btw!!! I've listened tot his song before but never saw the live version until now. I felt a lot more emotion from the live concert than from the recording. Great song nevertheless.
I appreciate the lyric overlay over the people overlay over the lyrics overlay over the original video because without it we wouldn't see part of the lyrics.
Great video!!! I from sweden and i saw them opening for iron maiden 2013 in friends arena in Solna (stockholm) sweden. And sabaton were awesom. I was not a big fan before the show but when they played En Livstid i krig, tears were running down my face😍
Ever since I had my first kid it’s been really hard to keep a dry eye when it comes to things about fathers and sons, especially in a song as awesome as this one. 4 kids in and it doesn’t get any easier.
Great reaction! You can really see that you are feeling it in the intro, the melody and the guitars. And then I knew, man this is gonna be tough for this guy. As soon as lyrics show up and you get a feel for the crowd it was over. Trying to hold back the feels all the way thru, but they are too strong and breaks through . Also fun to see, for every sip you take of that drink you are 1 lvl deeper into the feels. Love it! A song that can for sure apply to any country! Greeting from Sweden
Last live show I went to was this exact tour, when they performed in Copenhagen Denmark 2020. Was the third time I saw them live, and they're equally amazing every single time and have so much crowd interaction! truly some amazing performers!
I've been listening to Sabaton for a little over a decade now (they're one of my all time favorites), but this video made me realize that I never really dove into the lyrics of the Swedish part of Carolus Rex (and more specifically this song). I know that each version (English and Swedish) are sung from different perspectives, but holy shit man, this version is HEAVY in the lyrics. Also, loved the reaction! I think this showed up in my recommended at random, and I'm glad it did! Look forward to seeing more \m/
@@dicodec In one word: AWESOME! It was in a small club (about 250 capacity) with the 1st row of fans about 12 inches away from the stage and band. The ladies played about 20 songs (2 hour concert) and pretty much blew the roof off the entie time. Even with the language barrier the interaction with the crowd was pure comedic gold. If you want to get a feel I recommend checking out the fan-cam courtesy of my friend Vladimir Chupin here on YT. The wall of sound sometimes shakes the mobile cam, but you will get an excellent idea what it felt like being there on that glorious summer night. Side note: I had purchased a VIP ticket that included a little meet & great where we received a hand-signed poster.
This particular song is about the 30-years war that ravaged Europe in the early 1600s. You had entire generations wiped out by war. And you're right, by the way, Sabaton should be viewed live, especially considering the entertainment value of their stage show, props and so on. Anything official from The Great Tour 2020 is filmed from the stage, like this one which is kind of fun since you seldom see this view. About song choices you basically can't go wrong, just throw a dart :-)
My last live show was Sabaton on the great war tour in zurich. And it was awsome! It dosen‘t matter witch song you will react next... all of their live videos are just grate ♥️
9:22 - Last show I went to was Slipknot at the Stockholm Globe arena back in february of last year. Awesome show :) Was meant to see Sabaton for the 5th time this year but they've pushed that leg of the tour forward 1 year now (no new ticket needed thankfully hehe).
they were singing in Swedish. For live permances: Any video from the Great tour or the Woodstock 2012 concert is awesome.. make a list, throw a dart and do whatever it hits :D
This band and the audience reminded me of one of my favorite bands from my childhood. I don't know if Eric heard of them, but I think it would be cool if you guys reacted to one of their songs. They are a Folk Metal band from Spain. Very popular! They did switch singers along some time, don't know if they are back to the OG. They made an 'updated' version of Finistera with the new singer. Their most popular video is Mago de Oz - Fiesta Pagana Diabulus in Opera if you want to check out a live. All their songs are bomb though. But the audience in this one and quality of video is pretty good.
There is an English version of this song, from a differnt point of view. But, even tho they let the audience pick which version they should perform, I haven't found a live version of the English version. It doesn't matter if they play in Japan, in Turkey, Hungary, UK, or US, they always get to perform the Swedish version. :) For other live performances, there's the fantastic 2012 Woodstock Festival in Poland, the 2019 (or 2015) Live performace in Wacken Germany, and anything from what you just've witnessed, The Great Tour 2020.
I've been to atleast six Sabaton concerts, it is as amazing as you're imagining it would be. I greatly recommend catching one of their shows if you ever have the chace, you will not regret any cent spent I recommend their song Swedish Pagans from either the same show or Wacken Oper Air 2019
They were singing in Swedish, not Dutch... but it's probably have been said already, but if so I'll just say it again. This song is about the 30 years war, about a young boy, most likely a farmer's son... because at the time Sweden had way more farms (not seldom small farms) than they had big cities and towns, who had to leave his family to get drafted and fight in the war... and he's wondering if anyone is going to miss him and if he falls in battle, who will remember him. This song always brings a tear to my eye. And this performance by Sabaton is hands down one of the best I've seen in a Very very long time... And to answer your question, what was the last concert I went to? Well, I'm a Swede (No, not the turnip 😄😄) living in Romania, the last gig I went to was a band called Bucovina, (folk Metal with black metal influences) they were playing at a place called Arenele Romane. If you're interested I'll give you some tips on songs you could react to... But, they do sing in Romanian, just so you know... but that gig was f**king amazing. 🤘🤘👏👏👍👍🇸🇪🇷🇴🇸🇪🇷🇴🍺🍺
Whoops sorry about the mix up. Thanks for clearing that up. As well as the insight. That is pretty cool for sure. It is such a great song. Very dope about the concert as well!
Hi 🙂 thanx for great reaction I think my last concert I was Sabaton on Mystic Festival in Kraków Poland, and it Was AWESOME ... One more beer and than the Winged Hussars Arrived 😄😄😄 So as other mentioned, check out Uprising and 40:1 from Woodstock Poland, Wolfpack, To hell and back, Shiroyama, Cliffs of Gallipoli, Carolus Rex, The Price of the Mile, A Ghost in the Trenches... And of course Winged Hussars 😁 In Livsted I Krig and Liftime of War are my favorite songs 😊 Also you should really watch Sabaton history Channel, with the stories behind the song, with it the lyrics are even more powerfull... Greatings from Poland 😉
Thank you! That is so awesome you got to see them live. We will definitely be checking out more from them. We will be checking out their history Channel as well. Thanks so much for watching! 🤘
The epic thing is this song was performed in their home country of Sweden which has mandatory conscription (Every able modied adult, men since 1901, has to serve at least a year in a branch of the military) This song is in the audience's native language, and it's highly likely most have been or are being called to service right at that moment. This song is just as about the modern Swede soldier as it is a soldier of the Thirty Years War.
I don't know if anyone already wrote it, but the album is made in a english version to! The whole album is made for the swedish king in the 18th century "Carolus rex". (charles the XII)
Even if the song is not heavy, doesn't mean its not HEAVY.. it weighs down on you and make you appreciate more the sacrifices our veterans has done for our modern world.
I hope you're eventually gonna do The Final Solution. It's hard hitting too. They kinda have a normal version for the lyric video and an instrumental version for the rare times the perform it live (because of the subject matter), so you might wanna check out both.
The song is the viewpoint of a swedish soldier i the 30 years war, they litterally spent a lifetime a war, they have another version in english, where it's from the viewpoint of a neutral observer. My last liveshow was Home Free, about 14 days before everything shut down, and about a week before i actually heard my first Sabaton song, i knew the name i had just never heard their songs before, now i can't wait to hear them live.
From live Woodstock Ghost Division, Uprising, 40:1, Art of War, Cliffs of Gallipoli, Atreo Domincus, Carlous Rex and Primo Victoria From live the Great Tour Red Baron, Night Witches, Winged Hussars, Attack of The Dead Men ft Radio Tapok, Lost Battalion and 82th All the Way ft Amaranthe From Wacken Price of a Mile and Swedish Pagans Also the song Final Solution will give you haunting chills and if you do react to Sabaton Primo Victoria live you should do a double react to the live version from 2005 Sweden Rocks festival and to the Woodstock Poland performance it gives you a great insight to they first start to essentially where they're at today

Warning about reacting to the Wacken shows, they often get copyright claimed and blocked.
Every time they play for a Swedish crowd they get forced to play Swedish Pegans, the crowd never stop singing it between songs.
Fantastic reaction to an epic song and performance. Definitely do more, please. They were singing in Swedish.
Thank you for watching and for the information!
They are singing about how its like to be a Swedish soldier back in 1700 and get out to the war likely , a great song with strong words 😊

Don't be ashamed to cry. To cry to this, means that you understand the depth to the whole song. If you don't cry - You do not get it.
Song still has me crying 6 years after i first heared it
I don't blame you 😭

Sounds amazing! You're lucky 🤘
Saw them in Stockholm a couple of days after this show and just like in the video the crowd took over the first verse! It was an amazing experience!🤘

From Sabaton filming from inside a Tank for Primo Victoria, the Battle of the Bulge reenactors for Screaming Eagles, on a boat at sea for Bismarck, in the Sahara Desert for Seven Pillars of Wisdom, or Peter Stormare dressed as an SS soldier in Poland for Uprising.
Their lyric videos are equally great because they include bits of historical context for the stories while also being visually interesting to watch, especially The Final Solution which is just heartwrenching.
Sabaton's live shows are just as good, particularly the Great Tour because it's recorded from stage looking out into the crowd, and you see the band genuinely enjoying interacting with the crowd and each other during their performance.
Then you have their growing animated music videos with Yarnhub that combine storytelling and music and the building blocks Future of Warfare which is just a blast to watch.
There's no wrong answer for "which type of video should I watch for Sabaton's music?" Because they're all awesome.
Very cool indeed!
They’re going to be in Vegas in October! I’m coming down from Seattle, y’all should make the trip!
Are you serious?????? That is super close to us!! We will be there!
@@dicodec Friday October 8th at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood. What better way to kick off live music again than with a show like this?
My last live show was actually Sabaton in Dallas. I've seen Sabaton live 3 times and are hands down the best band to see live. You can just feel the energy and passion that they put into everything they do. If you haven't seen them live, then you are doing yourselves a great disservice.
Sounds epic! You're so lucky. We definitely have to see them live ✌
My teenage son actually introduced me to Sabaton driving home from an Iron Maiden concert. I took him to see them live in 2019, we were front row leaning on the barrier.... It was hands down one of my top 5 concerts. You need to see them live!! You will not be disappointed!
I think that it helps that this concert
was in Gothenburg - which was established
in 1621 in the period they are singing about
when they were fighting the Danes, Norwegians
Poles and the Holy Roman Empire
and generally winning too.
I saw someone else comment this one time before and it's true. Crying to Sabaton is a right of passage! There's a lot of metal songs that bring up the water works no matter how many times I listen to it. Great reaction!
Ah I see, that's a great right of passage! Would have definitely cried if we were there in person I feel.
@@dicodec oh absolutely! You could feel that energy through the screen and speakers.
I always starting to cry watching this video. It's amazing.
Здравствуйте, друзья! Мне нравится эта группа. Она даёт чувство единения с миром. Я тоже, как и вы, хотела бы быть в той толпе и подпевать. Я обратила внимание тоже, как и ты, Эрик, на съёмку со стороны сцены в зал и заметила, как солист повернулся и поблагодарил того, кто был в глубине сцены (или мне показалось?) Я пересмотрела этот отрывок и пришла к такому выводу. Действительно, ведь не важно на каком языке поют. Главное, какие чувства вызывают у слушателей. Сейчас мне хотелось быть там, в вашей студии, и переживать с вами этот момент прослушивания этой песни. Спасибо, дорогие, за реакцию. У вас я питаюсь духовно, познавая разную музыку. Жду с нетерпением ваши реакции.
the last live show i went to was actually sabaton in stockholm february last year. it was honestly the best live performance ive ever seen. they are so damn good live.
Woah, you are so lucky!!
I love seeing reactors being moved to tears by Sabaton. So incredibly powerful!
This takes me back. It was exactly 1 year ago and the last concert i managed to see before... Well you know.... Fantastic experience standing in a sea of about 10 000 people, all singing along the entire song. Also good thing you had the subtitles on, the song hits hard when you understand them.
You're so lucky!! Also yeah those lyrics hit us pretty hard for sure. Thanks so much for watching and stay safe out there. 🤘
This is by far one of the best reaction video to this song I've ever watched. Pure emotion. Good job.
Great reaction again!!! I just love this band and the fact you feel the same is awesome!! Also they sing this in Swedish the Carolus Rex álbum from 2012 it's about the Sweden empire in the seventeen century and part of the eighteen century this álbum was launched in two version's the English version and the Sweden version and the awesome thing about it is that the songs have different lirycs in each version and so many fans not matter the country thinks the Sweden versión is better... For me the two are awesome! Again just love your reaction and i hope to seen more Sabaton in your channel 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Thank you for all that information! We really appreciate it!
You don't listen to Sabaton, you feel it. I have never felt such emotional songs by any other group.
Absolutely. Especially with this song.
This song always gives me chills, one of my favourite songs by them.
You guys should check out Amaranthe with their cover song on Sabaton's 82nd All The Way
I don't blame you this song definitely gave us the chills as well.
Actually filmed an Amaranth reaction the other day it was killer. Definitely want to hear more 🤘😀
@@dicodec maybe you could do a video with both Sabaton's version against Amaranthe's cover of 82nd All The Way
The last live concert I went to was Sabaton, live at Hovet in Stockholm the day after this show. It was just as amazing there! ❤️🤘🏻
That sounds amazing!
Hmm, maybe “Night Witches” the animated videos next, just to switch things up a bit 🤟🏻
We'll definitely check it out. 🤘
@@dicodec Story version - the intro and conclusion add context....
...and the live version from Leipzig, 2020!! 🤘
The song is in Swedish. They are from Sweden and this song is also in english called lifetime of war
the attack of the dead men-sabaton live in London. great reaction btw!!! I've listened tot his song before but never saw the live version until now. I felt a lot more emotion from the live concert than from the recording. Great song nevertheless.
Yea this live version, really sold it for us.
Not London, gotta go with the one from Moscow with Radio Tapok
@@TheNightOwl11683 that's right, I forgot sabaton collaborated with radio tapok.
That was really good! I feel like we all just want to give Alan a big ol’ hug when ever he cries. 🤗🤗
Yeah that was awesome! For real, you all should give him one haha
I saw Sabaton 2 weeks ago now, in my hometown in Sweden. In a much smaller venue than in the video. But this song was as epic as in the video.
I appreciate the lyric overlay over the people overlay over the lyrics overlay over the original video because without it we wouldn't see part of the lyrics.
That was Alan's idea I believe. Thanks so much for watching🤘
Great video!!! I from sweden and i saw them opening for iron maiden 2013 in friends arena in Solna (stockholm) sweden. And sabaton were awesom. I was not a big fan before the show but when they played En Livstid i krig, tears were running down my face😍
That's so epic!
Ever since I had my first kid it’s been really hard to keep a dry eye when it comes to things about fathers and sons, especially in a song as awesome as this one. 4 kids in and it doesn’t get any easier.
I feel you, isn’t that weird? I am the same way I think of my son and my relationship with my dad when things like this come up -Alan
This is my favorite song. I’m American and I learned some Swedish so I could understand the lyrics and sing along. That’s how powerful it is.
That is awesome man. It really is such a powerful song. Cool to see you expanding your language horizons as well. 🤘🤘
Great reaction! You can really see that you are feeling it in the intro, the melody and the guitars. And then I knew, man this is gonna be tough for this guy. As soon as lyrics show up and you get a feel for the crowd it was over. Trying to hold back the feels all the way thru, but they are too strong and breaks through . Also fun to see, for every sip you take of that drink you are 1 lvl deeper into the feels. Love it! A song that can for sure apply to any country!
Greeting from Sweden
Thanks so much! That was well said friend. 🤘
My last live show was Backstreet Boys in 2019 at Scandinavium arena, Gothenburg Sweden. The same arena as this Sabaton clip you're watching :)
Oh that's pretty cool!
Great emotional reaction! Such a fantastic song and what a band Sabaton is!
Last live show I went to was this exact tour, when they performed in Copenhagen Denmark 2020. Was the third time I saw them live, and they're equally amazing every single time and have so much crowd interaction! truly some amazing performers!
Wow, that sounds so epic!
I've been listening to Sabaton for a little over a decade now (they're one of my all time favorites), but this video made me realize that I never really dove into the lyrics of the Swedish part of Carolus Rex (and more specifically this song). I know that each version (English and Swedish) are sung from different perspectives, but holy shit man, this version is HEAVY in the lyrics.
Also, loved the reaction! I think this showed up in my recommended at random, and I'm glad it did! Look forward to seeing more \m/
That is awesome! We're glad you liked the reaction. Thank you so much for watching and stay safe. 🤘
The last concert I went to - Sabaton The Great Tour in Stockholm. I can tell you, being there is something else...
Oh man, I can only imagine. So dope!
There pants are called in Sweden, "city-camo". The army use that color camouflage clothes in winter- and city battles....
Tears are an appropriate reaction to this performance.
Indeed
Last concert i was at was Sabaton live in Stockholm a year ago, the consert right after this one 🤘😁 it was epic when they played this song 🤘
That is awesome!
My last concert I went to was Sabaton here in Stockholm 🤟
Probaly the most best reaction i have ever seen (new sub btw) much love from sweden💙💛💙💛
Thanks for a good reaction 👌. Try " Carolus Rex" from the same concert. Take care. Peace 🤘😎🤘
Thanks! We will definitely be checking out more. 🤘
THIS IS MY LIFE!
I FIGHTING BUT I NEVER COME HOME!❤
Great reaction!
Last concert for me was Band-Maid in Hamburg on 28/06/2019
Next one will (hopefully) be Unleash The Archers in Hamburg on 25/11/2021
That's pretty dope! How was that show? Unleash the Archers is great band.
@@dicodec
In one word: AWESOME!
It was in a small club (about 250 capacity) with the 1st row of fans about 12 inches away from the stage and band. The ladies played about 20 songs (2 hour concert) and pretty much blew the roof off the entie time. Even with the language barrier the interaction with the crowd was pure comedic gold. If you want to get a feel I recommend checking out the fan-cam courtesy of my friend Vladimir Chupin here on YT. The wall of sound sometimes shakes the mobile cam, but you will get an excellent idea what it felt like being there on that glorious summer night. Side note: I had purchased a VIP ticket that included a little meet & great where we received a hand-signed poster.
This particular song is about the 30-years war that ravaged Europe in the early 1600s. You had entire generations wiped out by war.
And you're right, by the way, Sabaton should be viewed live, especially considering the entertainment value of their stage show, props and so on. Anything official from The Great Tour 2020 is filmed from the stage, like this one which is kind of fun since you seldom see this view. About song choices you basically can't go wrong, just throw a dart :-)
That is awesome.
Yeah definitely one of those band that puts on a killer show. We're do ready for more 🤘
Try every video from "The Great Tour", you can’t pick a wrong one I think.
But the next one should be "Ghost Division"!
We're so down!
@@dicodec 2 weeks since the last Sabaton reaction? Shame on you :D
i was there live and it was the last concert before corona started. i was one of all those phone lights, so good feeling in this song
Oh man, so lucky!
My last live show was Sabaton on the great war tour in zurich. And it was awsome!
It dosen‘t matter witch song you will react next... all of their live videos are just grate ♥️
Oh wow, that's so awesome you got to see them live.
@@dicodec it wasn‘t my first Sabaton concert. I was at the 20 anniversary show at Wacken Open Air in 2019. I will never forget this night ♥️
This show u watched was my last show i been to. It was so fkn cooool and epic to be in the crowd.
Oh man, that's epic!!
9:22 - Last show I went to was Slipknot at the Stockholm Globe arena back in february of last year. Awesome show :) Was meant to see Sabaton for the 5th time this year but they've pushed that leg of the tour forward 1 year now (no new ticket needed thankfully hehe).
Yo! That's awesome. I'm a big Slipknot fan. So dope you've seen Sabaton live. Lucky! 🤘
Lastes liveshow i attended to was this one, I have one word for it..... EPIC!! 🤘
Oh man, so wild! I can only imagine 🤘🤘
they were singing in Swedish.
For live permances: Any video from the Great tour or the Woodstock 2012 concert is awesome.. make a list, throw a dart and do whatever it hits :D
Whoops, my bad haha. Thanks for clearing that up. Can't wait to hear some more Sabaton!
This band and the audience reminded me of one of my favorite bands from my childhood. I don't know if Eric heard of them, but I think it would be cool if you guys reacted to one of their songs. They are a Folk Metal band from Spain. Very popular! They did switch singers along some time, don't know if they are back to the OG. They made an 'updated' version of Finistera with the new singer. Their most popular video is Mago de Oz - Fiesta Pagana Diabulus in Opera if you want to check out a live. All their songs are bomb though. But the audience in this one and quality of video is pretty good.
Never heard of them but it does sound pretty epic!
There is an English version of this song, from a differnt point of view. But, even tho they let the audience pick which version they should perform, I haven't found a live version of the English version. It doesn't matter if they play in Japan, in Turkey, Hungary, UK, or US, they always get to perform the Swedish version. :)
For other live performances, there's the fantastic 2012 Woodstock Festival in Poland, the 2019 (or 2015) Live performace in Wacken Germany, and anything from what you just've witnessed, The Great Tour 2020.
I've only heard them play anything off Carolus Rex in English live once. There's a definite preference.
Ah yes, I did look it up and it's not quite the same haha. The Swedish version is much preferred.
Gotta check out "No Bullets Fly" animated video from Sabaton. Probably up there at the top of my favorite Sabaton songs
We'll do it 🤘😀
Definitely in the all-time top 10 epic songs ever
Agreed
The last show I went to before the world closed down actually was Sabaton in Stockholm exactly one year ago tomorrow.
That is awesome!
To answer the pop-up question.
The last live show I went to was this one. Will never forget it. o7
That is so awesome!!
Sabaton - Uprising from Woodstock 2012. Epic!
So down! 🤘
and also Sabaton - Swedish Pagans a song about Vikings
I've been to atleast six Sabaton concerts, it is as amazing as you're imagining it would be. I greatly recommend catching one of their shows if you ever have the chace, you will not regret any cent spent
I recommend their song Swedish Pagans from either the same show or Wacken Oper Air 2019
We are so down! It sounds epic. 🤘
They were singing in Swedish, not Dutch... but it's probably have been said already, but if so I'll just say it again. This song is about the 30 years war, about a young boy, most likely a farmer's son... because at the time Sweden had way more farms (not seldom small farms) than they had big cities and towns, who had to leave his family to get drafted and fight in the war... and he's wondering if anyone is going to miss him and if he falls in battle, who will remember him.
This song always brings a tear to my eye. And this performance by Sabaton is hands down one of the best I've seen in a Very very long time...
And to answer your question, what was the last concert I went to?
Well, I'm a Swede (No, not the turnip 😄😄) living in Romania, the last gig I went to was a band called Bucovina, (folk Metal with black metal influences) they were playing at a place called Arenele Romane. If you're interested I'll give you some tips on songs you could react to... But, they do sing in Romanian, just so you know... but that gig was f**king amazing. 🤘🤘👏👏👍👍🇸🇪🇷🇴🇸🇪🇷🇴🍺🍺
Whoops sorry about the mix up. Thanks for clearing that up. As well as the insight. That is pretty cool for sure. It is such a great song. Very dope about the concert as well!
This dutch version is so good, thx guys for bringing it
I'm stupid. It's in Swedish. Sorry about my misinformation.
@@dicodec haha, i kinda know, good work tho, keep react to sabaton 👍
Metal is the universal language!! Erik is a kick-ass viking name btw! It means "Rich in honour"
Rock on boys! I really enjoyed your reactions!🤘
Hell yeah brother! 🤘
pure emotion hell yeah
This was the last live concert i went to actually! xD i'm back there in the center stands!
That is so awesome!
Hi 🙂 thanx for great reaction I think my last concert I was Sabaton on Mystic Festival in Kraków Poland, and it Was AWESOME ... One more beer and than the Winged Hussars Arrived 😄😄😄
So as other mentioned, check out Uprising and 40:1 from Woodstock Poland, Wolfpack, To hell and back, Shiroyama, Cliffs of Gallipoli, Carolus Rex, The Price of the Mile, A Ghost in the Trenches... And of course Winged Hussars 😁
In Livsted I Krig and Liftime of War are my favorite songs 😊
Also you should really watch Sabaton history Channel, with the stories behind the song, with it the lyrics are even more powerfull...
Greatings from Poland 😉
Thank you! That is so awesome you got to see them live. We will definitely be checking out more from them. We will be checking out their history Channel as well. Thanks so much for watching! 🤘
@@dicodec Your welcome 😀
My last live show was actually this exact one. It was amazing. Gothenburg, Sweden.
You are so lucky!
this part - But who will mourn me?
this hit hard in the soul.
That definitely hits 😭
The epic thing is this song was performed in their home country of Sweden which has mandatory conscription (Every able modied adult, men since 1901, has to serve at least a year in a branch of the military)
This song is in the audience's native language, and it's highly likely most have been or are being called to service right at that moment. This song is just as about the modern Swede soldier as it is a soldier of the Thirty Years War.
That is pretty epic! Really thought out as well. Thanks for the insight on that!
I don't know if anyone already wrote it, but the album is made in a english version to! The whole album is made for the swedish king in the 18th century "Carolus rex". (charles the XII)
Oh very cool! Thanks for the insight 🤘
Even if the song is not heavy, doesn't mean its not HEAVY.. it weighs down on you and make you appreciate more the sacrifices our veterans has done for our modern world.
there's winners and loosers.... and the ones that actually do the fighting.... this song is for them.....
Last concert I was at was february 14 2020 at this concert with sabaton. And its in swedish and its in Sweden gothenburg
That is awesome!
I hope you're eventually gonna do The Final Solution. It's hard hitting too. They kinda have a normal version for the lyric video and an instrumental version for the rare times the perform it live (because of the subject matter), so you might wanna check out both.
Were game. Thanks for the heads up. 🤘
Ghost division at Woodstock is insane. You've got a huge polish crowd singing along to a song about a german tank division
Sound epic! 🤘
Loved the reaction, tnx guys.
Thanks so much for watching!🤘
Anything from this The Great War Tour 2019/2020 live or Woodstock 2012!
Also it’s one of sabaton last concerts before lockdown
My God, I love this, man!
It's so epic! Same here. 🤘🤘
Great reaction. My last live show was Sabaton 02/02/2020 in Antwerp so I would suggest Resist and Bite from that show .
So dope! We're so down for that 😀
@@dicodec thanks,you won't reget it🤘
Last live show i was One week before in Sweden
Rivers of Nihil
Carnifex
Fit for an autopsy
Thy art is murder
Epic concert
Oh man, so epic!!
The song is the viewpoint of a swedish soldier i the 30 years war, they litterally spent a lifetime a war, they have another version in english, where it's from the viewpoint of a neutral observer.
My last liveshow was Home Free, about 14 days before everything shut down, and about a week before i actually heard my first Sabaton song, i knew the name i had just never heard their songs before, now i can't wait to hear them live.
Oh wow, awesome!
Last live show I went to was Sabaton 2020 gothenburg front row. Yep I'm in this video :)
So lucky! 🤘
@@dicodec Loved this reaction, really great stuff you guys do :)
From live Woodstock Ghost Division, Uprising, 40:1, Art of War, Cliffs of Gallipoli, Atreo Domincus, Carlous Rex and Primo Victoria
From live the Great Tour Red Baron, Night Witches, Winged Hussars, Attack of The Dead Men ft Radio Tapok, Lost Battalion and 82th All the Way ft Amaranthe
From Wacken Price of a Mile and Swedish Pagans
Also the song Final Solution will give you haunting chills and if you do react to Sabaton Primo Victoria live you should do a double react to the live version from 2005 Sweden Rocks festival and to the Woodstock Poland performance it gives you a great insight to they first start to essentially where they're at today
Heck yes! Those sound like epic suggestions.
