The guy carrying Lemmis picture is Eddie Rocha, their long time tourmanager. He's now Sabatons tourmanager.
Lemmy made an epic song, and Sabaton truly made it justice. If this song doesn't put a tear in your eye, well then, you're not human.
It broke my heart instead of having tears in my eyes
Sabaton makes justice to most songs!
i physically cant cry, i have Alexithymia, developed it after an IED in iraq took my leg, ptsd induced emotional deadness, i couldnt even cry when my son died in a car crash last year
edit: so your comment is correct, as i havnt felt human since i realised i couldnt feel emotions anymore
@@bigfrankfraser1391 sorry for your loss.
@@bigfrankfraser1391 That sucks, man. Glad you’re still around at least. 🙏🏻
Having Phil, Mickey and Lemmy involved shows just why Sabaton is such a great band. They honor the original while making it their own.
Knew you would lose it when they showed Phil and Mikkey, and when they showed Lemmy's picture, especially after half losing it when the Motorhead flag was shown. Perfectly acceptable. Seen a bunch of reactions to this, and you are not the only one to get choked up on this song.
Love that Motorhead was included, Sabaton is a class act. The cello on the credits was played by Tina Guo, you've seen her play with the band before.
I second everything on this comment. 💯
@@ben1ben I third that.
i lost it as well... i love most of these reacts... but not this... this hurt so much...im bawling my eyes out...
13:50 - "I was afraid they were gonna put a Motörhead reference in here."
Me: oh my sweet summer child, you have no idea what's coming 😢
I never heard of this song before the cover came out, Motorhead was before my time. But it hit me pretty hard.
My great-grandfather fought in WW1 with the Canadian battalions. He was injured in the Battle of the Somme. Spent at least 1 night in no man's land with shrapnel in his leg. He was lucky to come home. He then served again in WW2 watching for u boats in the harbour at Halifax. My grandfather went through the Netherlands in the second war. Even met his wife of 70 years in London. She was down from Edinburgh to help with the war effort. After they were married she was shipped to Canada while he went off to fight. He was D-Day + 13.
Even though there is a lot going on in the world the last half decade I have had a great life so far. Every time I feel like things are not going my way I try and think of what my grandparents did so I can even have those thoughts.
Lots of sacrifices were made for everyone of us. No country has escaped the scars of war.
This feels more like a tribute, than a simple cover, and it's a kick-ass tribute! I know, Lemmy killed it in the original, but Joakim was born to sing this song. His voice really fit this.
That is the most amazing tribute to a band I have ever heard, Sabaton really did an amazing job with this song. Great reaction, you should never apologize for your emotions
RIP Lemmy, you made a damn good song, and Sabaton did a super cover, you would be proud!!
I think Lemmy would approve this one.
Do not every apologize for crying over the loss of human life!!! It just shows that your real and a caring person!!! Please continue making vids like this you have definitely earned my respect🫡
No need for an apology, we are here for your honest reaction to this. Love your reaction, thank you for this, saw them live two days ago in Frankfurt (Germany). Hearing them performing this song live in a sold out concert hall was amazing!
When I saw your reaction to the Motörhead flag, I though, o boy, seeing the guys will finish him 😄
So refreshing seeing how compassion, love and humanity coming out in the form of tears
Nothing like an authentic reaction like this.
14:00 my only thought was "oh you're going to break in a minute."
I was able to experience the song live with Sabaton in Frankfurt ... half the hall was crying (probably even more)
when i saw them perform it in Leeds the whole stadium was silent for the duration of 1916
It’s emotional on a video I can’t imagine what it would be like live.
@@scray00 overwhelming ... in the show in Frankfurt more and more cell phone lights went on and the crowd sang along quietly ... there were also quite a few tears and hugs
I am an USMC widow and big Sabaton supporter (bc my late husband would have loved them!)...and I've seen about 200+ reactions to this...each time, I think I've no more tears to cry...and I'm wrong.every time. You f**ked me up, David...I knew what was coming and I knew you'd lose it...but dang!
Sabaton makes every song an anthem, and this song is in their setlist on the current tour.
10/10 reaction
FEELIN' YOU Amy!!!
A lot of extras and sabaton took the time to put all their names in the credits thats a class act
When i saw how you reacted to the flag i knew you were done for when mickey and phil showed up 😂
"Oh look, they put a Motörhead flag in there", and I thought: "Dude, you have no idea what's coming..." I hadn't heard the original version before this, all I knew of Motörhead was "Ace of Spades", but this tribute is absolutely fantastic. And just as with No bullets Fly (anim. story) and Christmas Truce, it gets me everytime although I've seen them probably close to hundred times each. No need to apologize for the tears, we all get emotional with Sabaton's excellence in storytelling. Keep it up and greetings from Sweden! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
i didnt either... oh man tonight's been rough... this just hit so hard...
I think the credits of this video are the most important ones that Sabaton has ever made; they give names to the soldiers so they are not EVER forgotten. While the song is about 1916, it is also about EVERY soldier in EVERY battle, to REMEMBER!
Thank you for wanting to share your first experience of Sabaton's cover of this Motorhead classic with us, David. It was a very touching video to watch. 🤘
Sabaton just had a concert here in Finland. Friday, 19th of May, and I was there. First time I ever saw them live. Very first time. And I heard this one. Live. Cried in the stands. Almost the entire freaking arena sang along.
It was so good that my first ever Sabaton merch item is the cover t-shirt... and I don't regret it. It'll be, for me, a nod to both Sabaton AND to Lemmy. Have NO shame and take NO flak for this reaction. Seeing you cry, too, it makes this song and this cover for me, and I'm betting so, so many others. If you don't cry? Shut yer trap, amirite?
The ammount of pain those people suffered, we all deserve to feel a tiny bit of it. They are both heroes and victims of the awful time they lived thru
This was a very pure and kind reaction. And in fact, only a strong enough person can afford public emotional weakness, and I think all the fans of this channel respect your honest and genuine reaction DH. The song was great, and Sabaton gave a second wind to this Motorhead piece. There was another cool thing in this release, DH was wearing a T-shirt with the name of my favorite band, and this added emotional depth to the empathy. This reaction deserves 10.0, man.🤘
We should all be able to afford public emotional moments - not a weakness, as emotions are STRONG, thus strengths to have and experience - without shame. Songs like this and messages like this, remembrance of unimaginable loss and suffering and waste of lives SHOULD f**k us up if we actually think about them.
Most Winter War themed things still f**k me up, because my family suffered personal losses there. Well, great gramps lost the dearest younger brother, his home, his livelihood, his horses, his land - everything. It's an honour to come from that, and to come from whatever family ties we each of us have.
he NEEDS to watch Zeit video...
Great reaction - Sabaton is doing a great cover but the video is really something special. You can watch it over and over and find more and more references to both Motörhead and alot of Sabaton songs.
Yeah, that was damn good. If I didn't know this was a cover, I wouldn't have guessed it, because it fits Sabaton like a glove. And even having never heard the song before, I was in tears just from the lyrics. So I can only imagine the added impact from the Motorhead memories. No apology needed for the emotions there.
Also, I'm fine with you having a personal pick now and then, _because_ you do something like this only for particular reasons, not to jump on a bandwagon or boost some numbers.
A real man can cry. Thank you for being that real man. My grandfather was born in 1900. He enlisted in 1916 and served in France. He never spoke about his service. My father served in WWII and rarely spoke about it. After his death I learned he had served in Korea, too. He never spoke about it. I lost an uncle in WWII. I lost an uncle and numerous cousins to Viet Nam, PTSD, Afghanistan, and suicide. I broke down when I first heard this song. If we can’t cry about all the people lost in all the useless wars that did not end war, what should we cry about? Lest we forget.
Legends never die.
I don't feel I need to say more.
Thank you, David.
Sabaton has a song titled "What's the Price of a Mile?" which asks the same question about how much a soldier's life is worth. I believe its about a later battle called Passendale, whereas 1916 is about the Somme, but does it really matter? I love this movie called "The Big Red One" by Samuel Fuller, who was a veteran of "The Big Red One" in World War 2. The best scene is when they crossed an old World War 1 battlefield; the Sergeant had served in WW1. One of the soldiers said, "They Already made a memorial for us." The Sergeant said, "It was for the last war." Another soldier said, "Funny had the names don't change." The Sergeant said, "They don't."
its not a cover, its a tribute ...so so touching !!!!!
Said something in the beginning of "earning the like".... yeah, I'll just leave a thumbs up here.
Not to mention any other "reactors" that sits and praises Motörhead before the song, only to just let the scene with Mikkey and Phil just pass by unnoticed.
Ofc they can love Motörhead without recognizing those two, but it felt great seeing that they got their appreciation aswell.
Great reaction!
Justice is done. Honor to the original. The perfect cover. If this doesn't get you, nothing will.
Thank you David for having the courage to do this with the camera rolling.
Agreed, if you don't cry for this or most of Sabaton's tunes... you're not human.
When you said "I was afraid they were going to put a Motorhead reference in", I have to admit that I laughed out loud knowing what was coming. I had no idea that it would hit you that hard when you saw Mikkey and Phil in the video and again when you saw Phil with Lemmy's picture. Kudos for allowing yourself to not only see the video, but feel its impact and being man enough to leave that visceral reaction in the video. I have to say that THIS is why I watch your channel.
When I saw your reaction to the flag I could tell how this was going to go. No need to apologise - I have cried to this version so many times already. It doesn't seem to hit any less hard on repeat viewings. And the value of a soldier? Apparently about half an inch.
[I hope you'll forgive a mostly pasted comment for once, it took me a while to write the first time.] I saw them perform this live in Leeds on the first night of the tour, and it was so emotional. So let's raise a few glasses: to Birmingham, birthplace of metal; to Lemmy (RIP); to Sabaton; and to those who sacrificed so much. My wife's grandfather was one of those who lied about his age - he was only _14_ when he went to the Front! He got out alive, thanks to some amazing luck: he was wounded and taken to a field hospital, and his own father was there at the same time. He swore a lot when he saw his son, then wrote to his wife back home explaining the situation. She in turn sent evidence of their boy's age to the War Office and they pulled him out. After he came home he never spoke to anyone in the family about his experiences. Greetings from South Yorkshire - Lest We Forget.
❤️
Less of a cover more of a beautiful tribute!!
When you lost it David, I lost it. Working home with tears rolling down my face.
May 3th I'm going to see Sabaton in Amsterdam and 1916 is on the setlist. So I'm going to cry again, but that's okay.
23:37 Out of morbid curiosity I had to do the conversion.
A soldier's life was apparently worth 3,2 centimeters, or 1,26 inches of land during that battle.
We are not angry enough at the kids who complain how difficult their lives are during our own times.
The Cello player is Tina from the Sweidh Pagans video you covered.
Amazing emotion David.
This is one pure and beautiful reaction. As an old-school Motorhead fan it hits me the same way. I just love Sabaton for work like this, paying tribute to fallen soldiers and Lemmy/Motorhead at the same time, they are special.
No one tributes the fighting men and women like Sabaton.
This is probably one of your best and most real reactions to date. I became a huge fan of Sabaton since I saw your No Bullets Fly reactions. That song made me tear up but this one took it to another level. I understand how you feel. No apologies needed.
The song got me again , crying with you . Great reaction . Hi from Sweden
20:56 Sabaton has made it their mission, through their music, to make sure those heroes are forgotten no more
I hate you David, I was fine watching this till you lost it and that got me. Thank you for doing this amazing song. Also thank you for being so human. One of your best reactions for me.
This is the first of your reactions I’ve seen but I’ve watched dozens of reactions to Sabaton’s cover of 1916. You wouldn’t believe the tension I felt every time you broke down and I’d think, “It’s gonna get worse…”
Mikkey and Phil were hard enough, but anticipating them carrying Lemmy’s photo? Man! And I knew you’d still have to go through everything that was added at the end. 😭
I’m over 70 years old. My grandfather, my Dad’s father, was one of those from Northern England who volunteered for a Pal’s Regiment, the Lancashire Pals. He was one of the 350 from that regiment wounded at Serre during the Battle of the Somme; 235 of his comrades were killed in the first half hour of the battle. He lost a leg and went home with “shell shock” (PTSD).
My Dad never knew his father because he died ten years later at the age of 31, when Dad was only 2. His death from pneumonia was a direct result of the mustard gas he inhaled in 1916.
The only thing I disagree with in this is when Joakim sings, “Now nobody remembers our name,” because I do-his name was William Lambert. 💔RIP
This song got me too. I served too but I was in the Air Force, I wasn't front line infantry. But I understand how you feel too. I will go and find both Sabaton's and Motorhead's version. I love yours and your wife's reactions to songs. I started watching when you guys reacted to Nightwish.
This is a fantastic piece of music,😢 I think Lemmy would have approved.
I really like your reactions, they always feels genuin. (And the fact that you even react to the end credits make you stick out from the crowd, it shows respect to the content creator)
Good reaction as always!
You are the very first youtuber ive seen that asked me to watch the video before clicking. I admire that, sir. You get a like.
You're so right, David! That really wasn''t fair to include the Motörhead flag, then Mikkey and Phil and at least Lemmy's portrait there. Only older Motörhead fans will feel what you felt here! 😪🤘
not just a mere cover..... this is what really deserves to be called a tribute...
This was the first time I have heard this song and just like you David it hit me over the head and ripped my heart out!! All I could think was my great grand father went to WW1 and he was 14 yrs old ( so the family says?)from New Zealand, we went for the crown. Still loved the reaction.
David, there is no need to apologise. Your reaction was true and emotional, which perfectly ok with me and everyone else, I'm sure. I know I wasn't the only one with tears in their eyes together with you. Sabaton have made a truly remarkable tribute song here. The video, as usual, is wonderful and adds an extra layer.
My father made the same mistake in World War II! He was only sixteen when he volunteered for the German Army from a small mountain farm in Austria. When he was asked to do so, he stated that he was 18 years old (in 1941 not all people who came from remote regions had ID papers). It was brought to the Russian front in 1 1/2 years, was wounded twice and was captured in 1943 near Stalingrat. After 2 years as a prisoner of war and seriously ill, he came home. Throughout his life he regretted the decision he made at the time
Feeling you man, feeling you... 😢 Don't apologise about being yourself, we are all a mess after this (and loving metal doesn't mean we are made of steel). Great reaction to a great cover.
I cried with you when i saw this reaction . Love from Sweden 🇸🇪❤️
Writing this having paused the video after you saw the Motorhead flag. All during the introduction when you explained how much you loved the original I knew how hard this was likely to hit you. Now I know for sure you are going to be a mess when you see the Motorhead guys carrying Lemmy's photo, taking his rightful place in the march. I have see this official video a couple of dozen times at least. Sometimes I have made it to that point before shedding a tear, but I have never made it further. And your reaction is going to make me lose it again.
David: Seeing Mikkey and Phil made me lose it a bit
Lemmy: Hold my picture....
Its refreshing to see a "reaction" channel doing an earnest reaction to something. The little bit of personal history you gave at the beginning was the cherry on top. Thank you sir.
I saw them do it live in London, and it was awesome
The battle of the Somme, the perfect disaster when new technology met old tactics. The generals were stuck in the Napoleonic era of fighting but where up against machineguns and better artillery.
Such a wonderful tribute from Sabaton to both Lemmy and all the fallen soldiers.
Well, that was THE reaction to this song, a really great one to a great song.....
This is just beautifull. And your reaction just payed tribute to this art. Thank you.
Hi David, my Dad added 2 years to his age during WWII. I think about all the boys that have done that and I'm with you with the tears! Do not be sorry, music is supposed to touch us and this song hits so hard. I must have tissues in hand every time I hear it.
Had to come back to the vid rewatched again, 1916 was my first Motorhead album i bought on vinyl, even managed to learn just about every song on bass, I'm with you Dave, this has to be one of the best ballets Motorhead or any band for that matter has ever played.
Thanks for nice reaction! I will see them live tomorrow in Stockholm Sweden, it will be a nice evening! :)
Don't apologize for a heartfelt reaction. Your love of music is why I watch your channel. With that love comes strong emotions. We get it.
Great reaction, as always! I went to my very first Sabaton concert in Hamburg on the 24th of April, after being a fan for about 20 years... it was AWESOME in general, and especially here, since they played 1916, and ALL people already managed to sing along... together with the mood during Christmas Truce, Swedish Pagans, and Winged Hussars, this was the fucking cherry on top of a very delicious Sabaton cake! 😁
PS: Also, once again, beautiful cooperation in this song with the wonderful Tina Guo!
Don't ever apologize for showing humanity. Tears does NOT mean weakness!
I first heard 1916 by Motörhead a few weeks before this release on a German rock radio and I was impressed. Never thought Motörhead wrote such a great song back in 1991.
And now Sabaton delivered this absolutely masterpiece as a trubite to Lemmy and Motörhead and to all soldiers of different ages.
Heard this song more than 30 times now and it hits every time. The brilliant way of telling stories about what happened in the past and teaching history makes them my favourite band for years. No wonder that I have a lot of Sabaton patches and soon Motörhead patches on my battle vest. Sabaton made a powerful tribute to Motörhead and their great song 1916.
They did more than just a tribute to Motörhead but a tribute to all fallen soldiers in history.
All the different soldiers from different ages refer to specific Sabaton songs. The Lady coming out of the dark alley is one of the Night Witches. The convertible car refers to the car where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot in Sarajevo which caused WWI. And at the end of the song was "The Old Pub" the B17 bomber from the song No bullets fly... >> Did you know that Sabaton received the "Enlightener of the Year Award 2022"? Sabaton is the "FIRST EVER ROCK BAND to receive this prestigious accolade!!"
the guy holding lemmy's picture was motorheads tour manager and is now sabatons tour manager
I knew, the Motorheadflag would hit you and by the time I saw your reaction to it, I was a bit scared on how much the upcoming Motorhead scenes would hit you.
Feeelin' You!!!
I know these feelings very well. There are songs, that make me complete mess, like "Nur die Ewigkeit" by "Unzucht". When they played it at M'era Luna Festival, where I was there photographer, doing full show, I was sobbing in the pit, trying to take photos.
I think Tina Guo is a Sabaton honorary band member by now after Steel Commanders and Swedish Pagens at Wacken and now the amazing end credit arrangement.
Oh damn, this was quite heartfelt for you mister, on two planes - the song itself and the perfect cross-over with Motorhead.
omg!!! The part about the Mother is gutwrenching!!!! what a song!! God Bless all you soldiers for the Ultimate Sacrifice!!!
im sure Lemmy would be proud of this cover, its a shame he couldn't be a part of it in life but having the other guys of Motorhead there is amazing, and his picture shows he's a huge part of this.
hey man, we're hear for the reaction, don't have to apologize for reacting ;)
I feel like Sabaton took what was in Lemmy's head when he sang it and gave it the sounds that Lemmy felt
Thanks 🤘
The guy holding Lemmy's photo was the touring manager for Motorhead, and is for Sabaton now. Brilliant reaction to this mate. I love this so much... What's the Price of a Mile ( another Sabaton Song) 9.1. Brilliant cause it deserves it. Anyone not moved by the song......is dead inside.
Thanks for this great, raw and pure reaction. Apriciate it. And again: Hugs to you.
After all the work you put into entertaining us I think you are more than worth doing one for yourself. Thank you for always being authentic. I started watching this at lunch at work and I had to stop and wait till I got home to see the rest.
YEP. This has to be the fourth or fifth reaction I've seen today (never mind Sabaton's original video), and I'm in the same state EVERY time. Holy HELL the combination of Lemmy's lyrics and Sabaton's ... well, everything ... is astounding. And gut-wrenching in the best possible way.
Thanks for the true real emotional reaction
I have watched many reactions to this song, over 15 and 75% ended in tears I have ended every watch in tears, what I also liked in the video is the reference of all the other soldier's matching with sabaton are character's from their other songs, example the woman who steps from the alley who looks up at the bombers is in a Russian uniform is from the song night witches, you had Sparta, you had the bomber from no bullets fly, with the red baron, and more. One thing I didn't know but the bus at the beginning had Hammersmith which someone pointed out was also a motorhead song,
Awesome reaction brother,I just wish I had a guitar polishing rag, too.❤
Welcome to David. You are indeed a very sensitive emotional and human being. This is a very positive quality. I think you are a good person and would be a true friend. Best regards from Poland
Never apologize for loving music. You are showing us exactly what all music lovers feel when something like this happens. ❤ I was crying with you in this. This is true love shown right here in your face. Thank you for sharing this. ❤
I want to hug you man... I feel this emotions although I am a lot younger
Sham-Wow, for those moments when a tissue isn't good enough. Man. This song affects me every single time, but I also have a high empathy thing going on as well and so, no judgement. I was right there crying along with you. I could have used a Sham-Wow too.
Sabaton don't joke around when they make their songs. They put amazing amount of thought behind their songs. I bet they have wanted to do this one for ages however unless they feel they can make it justice they dont release it. Just like Christmas Truce. They did not want to make that song unless they got it right. And with something like this, unless the remaining Motörhead members have an all clear i bet they would not made this.
I can honestly say that there are quite many of their songs that have moved me to tears. Especially when i see the videos. No bullets fly, 1916, Christmas Truce and En livstid i krig ( a lifetime of war) are among them. And i say this. There is no shame in crying like a baby when they manage to play your emotions like a fiddle. Sabaton is a band that the world needs in these twisted times. Lest we forget!
Having Mickey Dee and Phil Campbell and the photo of Lemmy was absolutely necessary! To show respect to Motorhead and the fans of Motorhead.
This song was amazing and an awesome tribute to Lemmy, I don't know anyone who hasn't cried hearing this
I never heard of motorhead. But even this song as a tribute brought a tear to my eyes 😢
pklease check out Lemmy who was singer in Moterhead. I promise you heard many songs he wrote
Motorhead's version is more stripped down, pretty much just cello, snare, and Lemmy's voice. Sabaton adds more instrumentation, choir, and guitar solo without losing any emotion. The cello in the credits is Tina Gao.
Could stop tears only for 5 seconds
thank you for your sincerity and honesty
When reading the credits, I read that each portrayal was in fact an actual soldier - most who did fight in 1916 (i.e. Sgt. Awal Nur served in the Indian Army regiment of 1914-18, Queen Victoria's Own Corps of Guides. He served in Belgium, France and East Africa from 1914 to 1917, and he was wounded three times.) or fought in other actions of WWI (i.e. Sgt. York and Sgt. Henry Johnson - both Medal of Honor Winners in WWI - Johnson served with the 15th New York "Colored" Infantry) or who fought in other wars. Another side note about Sgt. Johnson...."colored" U.S. soldiers in WWI were "brigaded" to the French Army because U.S. "White" soldiers did not think "they" could fight and racism ran very high within the ranks. By doing this Pershing fulfilled a pledge to supply combat regiments to the French, while also freeing “himself from the dilemma of how to use the African-American fighting regiments" (which is why you see the actor wearing a French Uniform in the video - kudos to the producers and their sense of authenticity and historical accuracy). Sorry - didn't mean to stray that far from what the video is truly about.
great to see someone show his emotions like this. you missed the one holding up the picture of lemmy. that was eddy rocha nowadays tourmanager of sabaton but in the early days tourmanager of motörhead.
Funny you would mention the "price of a mile", Sabaton has an original song called The price of a mile which is about that "how much are military gains worth in human lives"
i still have yet to watch the last 12 minutes of your reaction, but i already liked and subscribed to your channel, why?? because i think you have given the most heartwarming and honest reaction to this video i have ever seen....... keep up the good work and i will start watching more of your stuff
