Welcome to the deep rabbithole called world of Sabaton. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch the credits so we all can enjoy the aerial voice of Floor (leadsinger Nightwish and married to the drummer Hannes). Have liked and subscribed
Whats the point of keep pointing out that hannes is married to Floor? Seriously i was a nightwish fan for a long time and prefer Tarja era anyway and yeah im also a swede. Sorry didnt mean to argue....lol im just baffled that by every reaction video i see look Hannes is married to Floor. Sorry :)
@@peo4989 It is kind of odd but in the end it is one of those bits of trivia that add more depht. There was a time when i didn't realy pay atention to anything other than the music (come to think of it, i didn't realy even listen music that much). I couldn't care less who were in the band. Now days i do appreciate the connections between things.
Helt rätt Mia! Sabaton é mer än än sin musik ♥ Alla ska ha del i det som görs. Å det med rätta. Denna låt utan kören å sologo hade låtit som det mesta. Sabaton utvecklar sig hela tiden! ♥ Börjar snudda på Pink Floyd snart. Med lite mer friheter
I don't know about everyone else, but I really like your intro to this reaction. I love watching people who have served or are still in active service discover Sabaton. So I'll just say (on behalf of all Sabaton fans), nice to have you onboard sir and welcome to the wonderful world of Sabaton. Where nationality and politics carries no weight, only bravery, duty and sacrifice do. 👍 And don't forget, they have a separate channel called "Sabaton History" where a historian goes thru and explains the events depicted in the songs...
Thank You for your kind comments. I will be checking out the history behind the songs. I don't think people would want to watch me react to those. Do you?
@@TouchyReactions Well I would try it out sir. If you share your feelings about the subject matter along with your informed opinion (you have served after all) then that will ad to the facts in the history video, and that in turn may be interesting for some viewers. If you have clear time stamps between the music video reaction and the following history reaction then people can choose for themselves if they want to continue watching. You have a good day sir, and I'll wait for your next Sabaton reaction to see what you decide to do. Greetings from Sweden (well from Norway, as 'm currently at work...lol).
It's funny how these things happen. I had a friend struggling with a reaction channel for years, then I suggested giving Nightwish a shot a few years back. She said she'd give them a try, so I notified the Nightwish Discord after she uploaded, and she went up 5K subscribers overnight. Goes to show, when you hit those bands with those hard-core loyalist audiences, they'll find you and give you love.
Welcome to the panzer division ! You should listen to en livistid I Krig. (English subtitles) if your a vet of any nation. This song is for you. Do it live from Gothenburg. The crowd was amazing.
11:20 a lot of soldiers had to be moved to different parts of the front lines. Many of them flat refused to fight the men they had shared this experience with. The truce lasted several days in some places, a few pockets holding out for weeks before they'd concede to fighting again.
@@TouchyReactions Sadly, I do not know how it happened with the French and British, but on the German side, unfortunately, many were executed as a deterrent, and such actions were then basically put under death penalty.
Great reaction, loved your introduction. Again, funny what noticing a cap can cause... 😂 I really love this new song and video. They put so much effort into it. Did you notice who was doing the ending credit vocals? It was Nightwish's Floor Jansen. She's married to Sabaton's drummer Hannes (the tall blond guy, who was first to step out of the trenches). Your karaoke was a nice addition, it was fun watching it.
Martine, the Sabaton Army salutes you. Poor Touchy Reactions, who'll be doing Sabaton Reaction for the rest of his life now. (Also, Touchy Reactions, if you read this: watching the karaoke clips was the highlight of my day! Keep up the good work!)
The blowing up of the piano was a nice touch. The carols are OVER. The next year there was artillery bombardment to ensure nobody tried to do that again. It's insubordination!! But good on the men who showed humanity.
When I first saw this music video (in my local coffee shop, of all places) I openly wept; events like this should NEVER be forgotten! Where even in the worst of moments, we can still be called "human"... Also, if no one has said anything, that cross still stands! It was erected in 1999, on the 85th Anniversary by a group calling itself the Khaki Chums, in Ypres, France, about a mile from the border with Belgium, where some of the worst fighting took place in WW1.
This story actually happened over several days along the front lines in WW1. It was a week before the fighting started again. And only happened once. As the commanders of both sides ordered artillery shelling the next Christmas. Because they didn't want a repeat of said insubordination. The background of the event is that the Pope was trying to get both sides to do exactly what the soldiers decided to do on their own. The unit level officers exchanged messages over the trenches saying tomorrow we don't shoot if you don't shoot. And that's how it happened.
The men were pulled from the frontlines due to not being able to continue fighting, which was hurting morale, and officers would punish anyone that tried something like it again. Also, fun fact: the Russians tried something like this on Easter. They'd heard about the Christmas Truce and thought they'd try it, but since they're Easter isn't on the same day as the Germans, they ended up getting captured or gunned down by confused German soldiers wondering why a bunch of Russians were leaving their trenches unarmed.
Just wanted to so thank you for your service. My granddad was in the 101st in WW2. He never told us much when he was alive, but we know he got to escort General Eisenhower and they were almost hit by a buzz bomb. Hope you have a great week brother!
The crew that filmed the video was working with some fairly large budget movie productions, they had never done a music video, but man they did an amazing job.
The guy who gets blown up in the beginning, Hannes (their drummer) is the one married to Floor Jansen of Nightwish. The beautiful, operatic vocals over the end credits is her.
This happened at the Salt Lake City concert they just recently did! They had everyone turn on their cell phone flashlights and wave them over our heads as we sang, it was my first ever concert (I've never felt strongly enough about a band to seek out tickets for a live show until now) and it was one of if not the most powerful experience I had that night... Edit: link czcams.com/video/0yi2rrRk7JU/video.html The audio doesn't quite do it justice but you get the idea :)
“A Christmas on the frontline We walk among our friends We don't think about tomorrow The battle will commence When we celebrated Christmas We thought about our friends Those who never made it home When the battle had commenced”
This is what music should do. Especially compared with this context. Give you emotions and NO one should hide them. I think you did a good job with the karaoke. Your voice is a good fit.
The entire discography from sabaton is great stuff, full of meaning, and even the music videos are good... also sabaton history, yes the band have ther own history education channel on youtube.
Oh, yes! I look forward to seeing what you thought of this one. It’s such a great song. One of their most emotional ones. I recommend watching the video several times, and then listening to the track. During the synth part right after the guitar solo, they show a lot of contemplation, and memories of the fighting. When you’ve seen that enough, you tie those visuals to that part of the song. Then, when you listen to the track, you don’t necessarily see what was shown at that point in the video (at least, I don’t), but your mind fills in the gaps, and you start experiencing similar emotions to what those soldiers must have felt. It brings me almost to tears every time now. This is an incredibly well-written song. One of their most powerful, up there with The Final Solution and The End of the War to End All Wars. It’s very moving.
“Lest we Forget”. Wow. And it’s Remembrance Day/ Veteran’s Day today! Whoa, that was intense. War is so ugly. I really can’t imagine the day after the Christmas Truce, how heart wrenching that would be to have to go through something like that. Sure gets a person thinking! Thanks for including your karaoke at the end. Thus begins my long overdue education in the music of Sabaton.
Hi Lionel, Oops, I meant to put this as a general comment rather than a reply to your comment (which I had just finished reading.) Ah, well. Nice to meet you here! All the best!😊
I just found your channel. I find it funny how many Americans don't know who Sabaton is.😉 I was raised as an Army Brat. And come from an almost entirely military family. Mostly Army. But, we've had people in every branch. Men & Women. So Sabaton songs hit home for me. My Stepfather was born in Nazi Germany. And I lived on military bases all over the place. I know a few guys who were 82nd Airborn. But many more that were 101st. We homeschooled our sons. And Sabaton was a great way to teach history! God Bless!💕🙏🇺🇸
So btw the female voice singing with the credits is Floor Jansen the singer of Nightwish, who happends to be married to Sabaton Drummer Hannes Van Dahl
Sabaton is absolutely EPIC! I got into them thanks to Dan Vasc and his Sabaton covers, especially The Last Stand. Please consider doing some Dan Vasc reactions, starting with the song already named and then go wherever you want; you won't be disappointed. Great reaction to a great song by a great band!
Sooooo the guitarist that does the solo here - Tommy - has a band called Majestica. In 2020 they made the most ultimate Christmas album ever made: "A Christmas Story" - in 2021 they re-released it with +2 songs. It's a cherished new addition to my family's holiday music collection and I hope you check it out this Christmas season. It's worth listening all the way through. There are a few music videos too. I suggest "Ghost of Christmas Past" and "Ghost of Marley" if you want to check out some videos. Merry Christmas all!!
This is a wonderful channel, I mean seeing how you react to Sabaton brings tears to my eyes. I have a question though for you, how much do you think Sabaton honors veterans and the military by keeping their tales alive in modern music? I am certain my great grandfather would know how this felt, he served as a royal engineer in WW1. Captain Charles William Flint, so yeah I am sure he would have had tales of the christmas truce that will never be told.
I think what they are doing is great. They are making sure no one forgets these great men and women from our past. I'm very proud of them for that. And the music is really good.
Thanks for the like! Love the videos, but I must apologize for taking so long to thank you for your service to our country. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas! In Polish it’s Zycze wesolych swiat i szczesliwego nowego roku!
I hope you also one day react to Resist and Bite lyrics from Sabaton as its a song about a verry underated Belgium unit. Its really a song that makes you raise your first and sing along. Its great fun. The cross is btw also a real cross in Ypres Belgium one of the places being hit the worst in WW1 I visit that place every year just to pay my respect.
11:00 thats exactly the thing thats gets me most about this. I couldnt imagine making friends with someone, laughing, cheering, singing, playing games, sharing food and drink together, only to have to shoot them the next day.
You should definitely do Great War by Sabaton. It’s my favorite Sabaton song and one of their greatest in my opinion. Instead of being about a specific battle it’s about all of WWI
I just discovered your channel and definitely loved the talking at the start, the karaoke also was a nice addition, I usually skip to the reaction but somehow you made me keep listening, this is definitely worth my follow imma check you your other stuff ! I wish you all the love in the world from the Sabaton community
That intro. Giggle. Reactor: I'll just react to this one song. What other song would you like me to do? Sabaton fans: ALL OF THEM Really. It's a great journey, learning about history with Sabaton. Enjoy.
What an Amazing Christmas song⭐ by SABATON. The lyrics and the music inspire you. And the video, was perfect✌ It's also a piece of history. You can learn a lot. And it is very emotional😪 And at the end the voice of Floor Jansen from NIGHTWISH makes it extra beautiful..💫 This is a Gift for Christmas ☃️🎄🕊 We are all..... We are all..... We are all..... We are all..... FRIENDS 🤝🤝 For me the Christmas song of the year 2021....⭐ A little PEACE and Love for Everyone🌹 Thank You So Much. This was beautiful, and let's remember a moment here, when it's Christmas. Often FORGOTTEN, unfortunately 🙌⭐😪 Love From The Netherlands ❤🤍💙🇳🇱🙋🏼♀️
5 months into the war over a million lives were lost. The war would go on for another 4 years and cost the lives of 20 million more people. On Christmas 1914 the soldiers on the western front got a small break from the never-ending war. They got to be human one last time before it began all over again.
Sabaton *Night Witches* (Women Pilots (Heroes) ! Or/and White Death (Simo Häyhä) (Deadliest Sniper In Military History) (7-800 kills in 100 days , no scope !)
I have also just recently discovered this awsome band Sabaton so it will be interesting to follow your journey through their songs. (I am also fortunate to be swedish and was able to get a ticket for their tour that they will start in just a couple of months... Well, unless covid gets in the way again... Looking forward to it a lot! 🤩)
Never served in the army or lost anyone in a war (I am form the Netherlands), but there are a lot of Sabaton songs where the onion ninjas are in the room.
Hell yeah bro, the most requested songs are the ones I wanted you to react to as well as a vet, but they arent even the bands best songs. I hope you continue reacting to their other songs that aren't focused on the US army, but you definitely knocked out ones most pertinent to you. As someone who started listening to Sabaton not long ago, I appreciate seeing other people's perspectives and especially american ones. If i have one request, it's that if you react to the Carolus Rex album, try to do it all in one go instead of some here and there, as well as check out some of the versions in swedish and dont forget the captions. The live version of "En livstid i krig" is one of the best videos i've seen of a live performance, that one you can react to whenever and however and if you get more interested then the whole Carolus Rex album will definitely be a treat for you.
@@TouchyReactions 11 albums and the new one seems to be just as good. They have a crazy discography and as a newish fan I was very suprised finding out that they don't disappoint.
Sabaton had done at least 3 video's with the backing of the video game company Wargaming. The production for these three videos was surprising. The songs " Primo Victoria " " Bismarck " and " Steel Commanders " is by far the best I have seen in a long time. I suggest checking out these Videos. As well as the Animated story video for " Night Witches "
@@TouchyReactions Primo Victoria and Steel Commanders were both released along with a update the the game World of Tanks to introduce new premium tanks. The official music video for Steel Commanders is incredible in my opinion.
Absolutely brilliant. A true masterpiece in every respect. Sabaton is much the same as Nightwish, in that they use music to tell the story and they are so damn good at it that it hits you hard every time. It should come as no surprise that Hannes, their drummer is husband to Floor Jansen whose angelic and operatic voice you hear at the end. Every Sabaton piece is a history lesson. Indeed, lest we forget, as there are those who as we speak are trying to erase our history and separate us from our past, and to no good end. We cannot allow that to happen.
You should also check out some live videos of their, 40:1, Ghost Division and Uprising at Woodstock, En Livstid I Krig (with captions because its in swedish) at The Great Tour, and my personal favourite Carolus Rex also at The Great Tour. Oh and i almost forgot they also have 82nd all the way preformed live with Amaranthe who also made a cover of it, great fun all around.
Great reaction, now you just need to look into doing the Sabaton History for the songs you have done as those are fun to watch. Need to add "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" about Lawrence of Arabia to your list also
React to Sabaton *Soldier of tree armys* (Lauri Törni/Larry Thorn) Only "SS soldier" on Arlington cementry !! John Wayne play Larry in the movie "Green Berrets" !
Subscribed for all the Sabaton, guess it’s a popular idea hahah! I also just fell down the full rabbit hole a few months ago, it’s been a FUN journey. 😂
Very cool with the countdown! ♥ For that. I will lsiten to your words before two times after ♥ I think the end is the best. When the overwhelming chorus and strings fleet at one. And celebrating each other. A bit russian
@@TouchyReactions here a other wierd though karaoke battle between you and brother in arm singing “82th all the way” vs some peoples from the 101st singling “ screaming eagle” .. do make sure both have a few drink in before the chaos is loose.
Looks like you had a fun journey through my catalog. Thanks for all the comments. They were great. I loved learning that the people being carried by the crowd are called the offerings.
Awesome reactions i like it that you seem well learned of history. Not to be crass but many americans dont really know of the history of europe. While me as a Swede had to learn basically everything i could about for example american history :). Btw it would be awesome to hear you react to some sabaton songs not everyone do like "Wehrmacht" "PanzerBatallion" and "En hjältes väg"(coversong)
It would seem you completely missed one particular detail about this song. Did you even recognize who did the vocals during the end credits? Christmas is about being with your loved ones - and in a sense this song does the same thing during the credits if you pay attention. Why? Because the vocals were done by none other than Floor Janssen - Hannes' wife.
Welcome to the deep rabbithole called world of Sabaton. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch the credits so we all can enjoy the aerial voice of Floor (leadsinger Nightwish and married to the drummer Hannes). Have liked and subscribed
Thank You, I'm starting reactions to Nightwish now too. Floor is amazing.
Whats the point of keep pointing out that hannes is married to Floor? Seriously i was a nightwish fan for a long time and prefer Tarja era anyway and yeah im also a swede. Sorry didnt mean to argue....lol im just baffled that by every reaction video i see look Hannes is married to Floor. Sorry :)
Yess she was bloody amazing. I was shocked at first but realized it makes sense. Hannes (drummer) is married to her.

I respect that you let the credits play out to give the production team their due.
I found out through the comments that the Lead singer of Nightwish had a cameo during the credits. She is an amazing singer.
@@TouchyReactions the wife of the drummer from sabaton
Nothing wrong with crying. Shows emotion. Please check Bismarck by sabaton
Thank You. I have the Bismarck reaction done. It drops on the 11th.
This song hits right in the feels. One of the few moments in history where humanity shine through in a time of war
Yes, it is a beautiful thing.

Thank You. We are all here to have fun and enjoy good music. Can't let pride get in the way of that.
I rarely watch the entire react videos but there's something about you that made me watch the entire thing. Keep it up
Awesome! Thank you! Definitely watch the "No bullets fly" reaction to the end.

I heard that some people were actually executed for refusing to fight on the western front
Just wanted to so thank you for your service. My granddad was in the 101st in WW2. He never told us much when he was alive, but we know he got to escort General Eisenhower and they were almost hit by a buzz bomb. Hope you have a great week brother!
Thank You
The crew that filmed the video was working with some fairly large budget movie productions, they had never done a music video, but man they did an amazing job.
The outro was sung by Hannes' (the blond drummer of Sabaton) wife Floor the lead singer of Nightwish.
The guy who gets blown up in the beginning, Hannes (their drummer) is the one married to Floor Jansen of Nightwish. The beautiful, operatic vocals over the end credits is her.
This should be the Christmas number 1.
I see this song being sung in bars, pubs, and drinking halls around the world.
12:00
Imagine that section at a concert, with the whole crowd singing.
YES
This happened at the Salt Lake City concert they just recently did! They had everyone turn on their cell phone flashlights and wave them over our heads as we sang, it was my first ever concert (I've never felt strongly enough about a band to seek out tickets for a live show until now) and it was one of if not the most powerful experience I had that night...

“A Christmas on the frontline
We walk among our friends
We don't think about tomorrow
The battle will commence
When we celebrated Christmas
We thought about our friends
Those who never made it home
When the battle had commenced”

We can finally lay to rest that Christmas carol "All I want for X-mas" and declare this one #1, oh yeah!
Sabaton will do that to you so many of their songs get stuck in your head.
Welcome. Sabaton and Nightwish, their singer Floor on the song's ending, both have an overlapping army.
Match made in heaven. Thanks
They have an live and acoustic version of this
Sabaton - Christmas Truce / musikhjälpen 2021

I think what they are doing is great. They are making sure no one forgets these great men and women from our past. I'm very proud of them for that. And the music is really good.
I think you would like ”Great War” very much.
It's now on the list. Thanks
Thanks for the like! Love the videos, but I must apologize for taking so long to thank you for your service to our country. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas! In Polish it’s Zycze wesolych swiat i szczesliwego nowego roku!
Hope you and yours also enjoy the holidays.
So happy you stuck around for the ending credits. Not many do.
Sabaton is so underrated!
I hope you also one day react to Resist and Bite lyrics from Sabaton as its a song about a verry underated Belgium unit. Its really a song that makes you raise your first and sing along. Its great fun. The cross is btw also a real cross in Ypres Belgium one of the places being hit the worst in WW1 I visit that place every year just to pay my respect.
It will be soon I promise.
I was at the Sabaton / Judas Priest concert a couple months ago. Lots of fun.
Great reaction thank you, greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
the woman singing in the cretits is aktually floor jansen the lead singer from nightwish
And she’s married to Sabaton’s drummer, Hannes van Dahl (he was dressed up as a German soldier, and was the first person to leave the trench).
I have Nightwish reactions dropping this week also.
11:00 thats exactly the thing thats gets me most about this. I couldnt imagine making friends with someone, laughing, cheering, singing, playing games, sharing food and drink together, only to have to shoot them the next day.
Someone told me in the comments that they refused to fight each other after this and both sides had the forces reassigned.
You should definitely do Great War by Sabaton. It’s my favorite Sabaton song and one of their greatest in my opinion. Instead of being about a specific battle it’s about all of WWI
You' re going to want to watch Fields of Verdun too!
It's now on the list. Thanks.
I just discovered your channel and definitely loved the talking at the start, the karaoke also was a nice addition, I usually skip to the reaction but somehow you made me keep listening, this is definitely worth my follow imma check you your other stuff !
I wish you all the love in the world from the Sabaton community
Thanks
That intro. Giggle.
Reactor: I'll just react to this one song. What other song would you like me to do?
Sabaton fans: ALL OF THEM
Really. It's a great journey, learning about history with Sabaton. Enjoy.
Thanks, the list is long.
don't worry i'm in tears most of their songs!
Great reaction brother, i love this band.. So far i have a twenty-five song playlist.
That's awesome
What an Amazing Christmas song⭐ by SABATON.
The lyrics and
the music inspire you.
And the video,
was perfect✌
It's also a piece of history.
You can learn a lot. And it is
very emotional😪
And at the end the voice of Floor Jansen from NIGHTWISH makes it extra beautiful..💫
This is a Gift for Christmas
☃️🎄🕊
We are all.....
We are all.....
We are all.....
We are all..... FRIENDS 🤝🤝
For me the
Christmas song of the year 2021....⭐
A little PEACE and Love for Everyone🌹
Thank You So
Much.
This was beautiful, and let's remember a moment here, when it's Christmas.
Often FORGOTTEN, unfortunately
🙌⭐😪
Love From The
Netherlands
❤🤍💙🇳🇱🙋🏼♀️
5 months into the war over a million lives were lost. The war would go on for another 4 years and cost the lives of 20 million more people.
On Christmas 1914 the soldiers on the western front got a small break from the never-ending war. They got to be human one last time before it began all over again.
Sabaton *Night Witches* (Women Pilots (Heroes) ! Or/and White Death (Simo Häyhä) (Deadliest Sniper In Military History) (7-800 kills in 100 days , no scope !)
Both are on the list. Thanks
I love how they put a mustache on Tommy so he didn`t look like a baby ;)
I have also just recently discovered this awsome band Sabaton so it will be interesting to follow your journey through their songs. (I am also fortunate to be swedish and was able to get a ticket for their tour that they will start in just a couple of months... Well, unless covid gets in the way again... Looking forward to it a lot! 🤩)
You are so lucky.
Ok you singing at the end was just cool. Didn't expect to get that. Nicely done!
Lol thanks
i would recommend "en livstid i krig" live in gothenborg (a lifetime of war) that video is real goosebump material
Just finished recording it...you are correct
I recommend you listen to ”Livstid i krig” with Sabaton Live variation 👍
I love SABATON and thank you for reacting to their songs. Might I recommend the group FIVE FINGERED DEATH PUNCH, they also make military themed music.
Thank you
Sabaton !!!!
So powerful and so real. I shed a few tears too
Never served in the army or lost anyone in a war (I am form the Netherlands), but there are a lot of Sabaton songs where the onion ninjas are in the room.
Damn Ninjas
Hell yeah bro, the most requested songs are the ones I wanted you to react to as well as a vet, but they arent even the bands best songs. I hope you continue reacting to their other songs that aren't focused on the US army, but you definitely knocked out ones most pertinent to you. As someone who started listening to Sabaton not long ago, I appreciate seeing other people's perspectives and especially american ones. If i have one request, it's that if you react to the Carolus Rex album, try to do it all in one go instead of some here and there, as well as check out some of the versions in swedish and dont forget the captions. The live version of "En livstid i krig" is one of the best videos i've seen of a live performance, that one you can react to whenever and however and if you get more interested then the whole Carolus Rex album will definitely be a treat for you.
Thanks, the list is getting long.
@@TouchyReactions 11 albums and the new one seems to be just as good. They have a crazy discography and as a newish fan I was very suprised finding out that they don't disappoint.
Oh man, I am really impressed. This is a great video and reaction. I normally skip boring youtube chitchat but this has been great video.
Wow, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
You did a good karaoke version,Sir :-) And welcome to the Sabaton world.
Thank you kindly!
Good Music makes you listen, great music makes you feel.
Thanks for listening
Hey man, I'm enjoying these videos. They're very positive, and you're doing your part in making a lot of days better 👍
Sabaton had done at least 3 video's with the backing of the video game company Wargaming. The production for these three videos was surprising. The songs " Primo Victoria " " Bismarck " and " Steel Commanders " is by far the best I have seen in a long time.
I suggest checking out these Videos. As well as the Animated story video for " Night Witches "
I've reacted to Primo Victoria and Bismarck already, the others are on the list.
@@TouchyReactions Primo Victoria and Steel Commanders were both released along with a update the the game World of Tanks to introduce new premium tanks. The official music video for Steel Commanders is incredible in my opinion.
11:08 oh my god I was thinking about it as you said that.
As a Sabaton fan and karaoke host i did love the ending 😀 If noone suggested you should do "Sabaton-En livstid i krig live at Gothenburg"
Trust me it's the next one on the list. I've pre-recorded a few so it won't drop till around the 17th.
Look at En Livdtid I Krig live version from Gothenburg. That one is emotional. 😊
Will do thanks.
Absolutely brilliant. A true masterpiece in every respect. Sabaton is much the same as Nightwish, in that they use music to tell the story and they are so damn good at it that it hits you hard every time. It should come as no surprise that Hannes, their drummer is husband to Floor Jansen whose angelic and operatic voice you hear at the end. Every Sabaton piece is a history lesson. Indeed, lest we forget, as there are those who as we speak are trying to erase our history and separate us from our past, and to no good end. We cannot allow that to happen.
Who's trying to erase history?
You should also check out some live videos of their, 40:1, Ghost Division and Uprising at Woodstock, En Livstid I Krig (with captions because its in swedish) at The Great Tour, and my personal favourite Carolus Rex also at The Great Tour.
Oh and i almost forgot they also have 82nd all the way preformed live with Amaranthe who also made a cover of it, great fun all around.
Great reaction, now you just need to look into doing the Sabaton History for the songs you have done as those are fun to watch. Need to add "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" about Lawrence of Arabia to your list also
Thanks Seven Pillars is on my list.
@@TouchyReactions also a good movie to watch about this event is (2005?) Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas)
React to Sabaton *Soldier of tree armys* (Lauri Törni/Larry Thorn) Only "SS soldier" on Arlington cementry !!
John Wayne play Larry in the movie "Green Berrets" !
Sounds cool thanks.
Give an ear to "The Final Solution", kinda same vibes, tragical, but beautiful.
Subscribed for all the Sabaton, guess it’s a popular idea hahah! I also just fell down the full rabbit hole a few months ago, it’s been a FUN journey. 😂
They are one of the most interesting bands I've heard in a while.
Ohhrahhh sabaton army
Hi again, my friend! I could be mistaken, but I have a feeling you were speaking directly to me at 5:05. LOL!! Well, I approve. Hahahaha 😂😂
See, this old dog can learn a few new tricks. lol
@@TouchyReactions LOL! I'm not exactly a spring chicken myself. 😉
Very cool with the countdown! ♥ For that. I will lsiten to your words before two times after ♥
I think the end is the best. When the
overwhelming chorus and strings fleet at one. And celebrating each other. A bit russian
Thanks
Amarante has made a cover of 82 th all the way
Think y can love that one to 👊🏼
I watched this offline is was awesome.
@@TouchyReactions which one did you prefer?
Great reaction. Love the karaoke bit. Wonderful.
Thank you
Nice reaction to a true story.
Glad you enjoyed it
if you haven`t yet check out the sabaton history channel its awesome. and it made me love the songs even more. but also cry more
Thanks I've see a few.
The channel Extra Credits. Has a video that take a great in depth look into the Christmas Truce.
Cool, thanks!
I have a brother in law that was in the 82nd Airborne
LOL
Maybe I know him...
@@TouchyReactions his name is Paul lively
The only thing that could make your karaoke better is to have a few of your brother in arms sing it with you..
Agree 100%
@@TouchyReactions here a other wierd though karaoke battle between you and brother in arm singing “82th all the way” vs some peoples from the 101st singling “ screaming eagle” .. do make sure both have a few drink in before the chaos is loose.
And then Floor enters......holy crap!!!
Looks like you had a fun journey through my catalog. Thanks for all the comments. They were great. I loved learning that the people being carried by the crowd are called the offerings.
Relax and let your throat open. You'll get a much fuller sound out of it, and not strain your vocal cords so much.
Thanks
like me .red hair ...Im fucking invincible FREEDOM!!!
a true story....
Great
Awesome reactions i like it that you seem well learned of history. Not to be crass but many americans dont really know of the history of europe. While me as a Swede had to learn basically everything i could about for example american history :). Btw it would be awesome to hear you react to some sabaton songs not everyone do like "Wehrmacht" "PanzerBatallion" and "En hjältes väg"(coversong)
Thank You. All of these requested songs are now on my list.
It would seem you completely missed one particular detail about this song.
Did you even recognize who did the vocals during the end credits?
Christmas is about being with your loved ones - and in a sense this song does the same thing during the credits if you pay attention.
Why? Because the vocals were done by none other than Floor Janssen - Hannes' wife.
So cool, Thanks
@@TouchyReactions you're welcome.
This video reminds me of that Joakim came into the band as a keyboard player, only singing till they found a proper singer. Glad they never did.
If u want something heavy 😊
Vildhjarta - Kaos2
Aviana - Rage
Thrown - gray out
Orbit Culture - Carvings
Imminence - Ghost
Is this list Band name - Song or Song - Band name?
@@TouchyReactions
Bandname first and the song after 😊
@@kimeklund8880 I've added all of these to my list. Thanks
10:58 Actually, both lines had to be replaced, as they both refused to keep on fighting.
Thanks I didn't know that.
