Can we please talk about "Diggy diggy hole" playing in the background, right at the beginning? Great!
So I didn’t imagine it!
Wind rose from Italy. Album Wintersaga
Yogscast, you uncultured swines
Joakim with hair is the scariest sight ever. They look like a Metallica cover band in that performance
I was thinking Dollar Store Judas Priest lmfao
Could you enter my Metallica tribute band? Please enter sandman
12:27 That's because you've been spoiled by Sabaton as a continent-sweeping powerhouse, but bands don't start that way. Sometimes they start as a bunch of awkward metalheads who just want to play cool shit, and then accidentally stumble upon something rare and unique that ends up turning them INTO a continent-sweeping powerhouse.
You've also now unlocked permission to watch Sabaton memes... Cuz Meme-o Victoria is the most popular one lol.
Does it really beat the arrival of the Winged Hussars?
BUT THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
Yeah I saw them live in a very small venue with just around 100-150 people back in the day. Joakim started off the show with telling us they had no setlist - Just scream out the songs you want and we'll play them xD
Joakim still looks like he can't quite believe how popular they are (and is *super* stoked about it) whenever they'd playing live.
"... diggy diggy hole... diggy diggy hole... "
After seeing the old performance, seeing Tank a little teary and Joakim's huge smile is just amazing
Swede here! I first saw sabaton at sweden rock festival at 2008. Did not know who They were and decided to sit in the grass some distance away. But That fucking energy man.... sucked me right in, and before i knew it i was standing in the crowd jumping my ass off! I dont listen to sabaton at home, but every chance to see them live ... im There. You have to be there. Jumping in that crowd. Feeling Joakims energy and happiness that he sends out! Best live band ever! Glad to see you do this one, my favourite live song! Keep it up! Love your reactions ❤️❤️
to think they managed to go from a handful of people in 2005 to the ocean at woodstock poland in only a matter of years is insane. to think those guys if off the rack leather would go on to double stage wacken is just mindblowing.
It was around 3000 people at that stage.
In the end it was 5000 people at the smallest stage.
Something I find really striking about this -- putting myself in Joakim's shoes, for example. Can you imagine being out on to the stage 7 years after that 2005 show, to perform the same song, looking out over a sea of 550k people? They all look so happy. I don't know if this was Sabaton's first "big" headlining show (probably not), perhaps they had already "made it" before this, but it still must have been so surreal for them.
The way Joakim's grinning, I don't think it matters if it's their first "big" headlining show or not. He's in absolute *awe.*
I love seeing this one next to a more recent performance to see how their performance has progressed. Not just their gear and production has increased, but you can see such a massive difference in Joakim's performance. His diction and stage presence are on a whole different level now. It lets you really appreciate how much they've progressed.
Joakim has massively improved stage presence but in my opinnion vocals had a bit more edge at the earlier version. But ofc all in all the more recent version is much better. :)
@@Hellowenisti86 I prefer the clearer diction. To my mind, it work better for actually telling the stories of the songs, and the clarity with which he manages to communicate is very impressive given his lack of formal training and that most of the time he's not even singing in his native language.
@@tyrannosaurusrhett Agreed I do prefer that direction aswell. But just wanted to point out that there were something good also in older version and might be that Joakim could not sing anymore with such way. :)
@@Hellowenisti86 Well, he used to be a smoker, and maybe that has something to do with it. A lot of people who smoke develop a kind of roughness to their voice, but if they give it up, that will become less over time due to healing from the smoke damage. It could be that it's just no longer a quality of his voice because of that.
@@tyrannosaurusrhett You could be right! Can't wait for their next adveture to the style of Carlus Rex! :)
and Par is still smiling! ALL THE TIME! This was great to see haha! Loved it
I'm so old that I attended that 2005 concert. This was my very first year at SRF. I went there to see Dream Theater, Rob Rock, Therion, and Yngwie Malmsteen. Some of the other bands that played that year were Accept, Angra, Anthrax, Megadeth, Motörhead, Within Temptation, Behemoth, Hammerfall, Kansas, Dio, Mötley Crüe and Pagan's Mind.
I think I watched their gig from a bit of distance, since I never heard about them before. They've come so far since then, and they deserve all their success from all their hard work for over 20 years.
What a lineup! I bet that was a blast!
This song is my ringtone for unknown numbers, so when i get a call i just hear Joakim yelling" through the gates of hell"
Hahahaha
its a Washburn HM-5V 1985 White Shout Out Tank took me awhile
Wow nice job man!
How did you even figure that out?😂 respect!
@@andrelindgard3439 asked a friend who has some guitars and he was sure it was a washburn so started to go throu some models took about 2 hours =D
Was lucky enough to see Sabaton twice (around 2008) when they were still playing in smaller locations compared to now. Just in a small space with a couple hundred people. To this day these concerts are under my absolute favorite concert experiances. The whole band makes the crowd feel so welcome and part of the performance. In one of these concerts Joakim inveted a litte boy on stage (probably between 10 and 14 years old) who was on his first metal concert with his dad. Then they played another song with the boy on stage having a great time.
The next concert Joakim saw a guy in the crowd wearing a jacket exactly like his. He invited him on stage and actually traded jackets with him. You could really feel how they were having a good time and enjoying being on stage. This is what really made me fall in love with the band.
that crowd at woodstock + sabaton....chills and chills wait till u see the price of a mile...
I dont like this song that much, but watching Joakim with "business in front, party at the back" mullet totally worth it.
First Sabaton song I ever heard. Def still my favorite one! You nailed it with that chorus just being killer!
PRIMOOOOOO VICTORIA!
Soooooooo damn good!
The one thing that I love, and that is especially obvious on the second live: they are having the blast of their lives at each performance. It's incredible to see, and I personally think that this might be why we get so excited when we hear and see them: their positive energy just blows through
When I saw Joakim's hair it was all I could see and those tiny sunglasses.😐 Thank for the great reaction Tank absolutely loved it. 🤘😁🤘💜
Love the Wind Rose - Diggy Diggy Hole playing during the intro :)
That concert from 2005 was the first time I saw them played. I had never heard of them before, but i instantly became i fan. I remember telling my friends that i've discovered a new band and how impressed i was with so many members singing. Been a fan since then. Fun to see live pictures from that concert.
Me and some friends stood at the front screaming "OSKAR! VART HAR DU GÖMT SKATTEN OSKAR!"
I am somewhere in that crowd at Sweden Rock 2005. First time I saw them live and it is really fun to have seen them that early. Who could now how far they would have come 16 years later. The next time I saw them at Sweden Rock was 2016 when they headlined the entire festival.
Is it just me or toward the beginning of the second video Tank just went from a “calm” adult to a “overexcited” kid in second
Great reaction! When I see the 2005 performance years ago it was so funny and awesome seen Sabaton in those years and watch how diferent is to the 2012 and current Sabaton... Hard work and dedication pays off that's for sure! Great work Tank! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Aw man, Primo Victoria might not be my favorite Sabaton song. But it IS the first song I ever heard from them, so it will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks for the reaction Tank! Looking forward to the next one.
Joakim and Par have said in interviews they had the song written but didn't have lyrics, but when they were wtaching Saving Private Ryan it hit them they could write a song about it. Then it hit them they could write all of their songs about war and history and now here we are.
Cliffs of Gallipoli is still my favorite, actually that and Angels Calling with Apocolyptica.
Usually Primo Victoria goes along with Joakim requesting the crowd to jump. Thousands of people jumping around you is so energizing and makes for an even greater experience. :)
For example you can hear him saying "Jump" at 13:42 and basically every time before the chorus
One thing I love is Joakim's massive smile on stage as his singing to those half million people. You can tell that he is absolutely loving it up there.
Magnus (long time friend and stage crew) with black long hair in audience - so sweet!
2 Sabaton songs I recommend are “Price of a Mile” and “Aces in Exile”.
Aces in exile is a must
I get chills when i listen to Aces in Exile as well as Union (Slopes of St Benedict). Its all the Allies fighting and dying together.
@@earendilthemariner5546 me too. Because my grandfather fought in the Battle of Monte Cassino in 2nd Polish Corps
Price of a Mile is brutal on the emotions.
I Love your reaction to the preformance from Woodstock 😁😁 It's just the right feeling you get when they play 💪💥🤘
I,ve seen them live twice on the Aland Islands at a small place called Dinos Bar. Fun fact, when I talked to the band members they asked me if I knew a guy who had moved from the Aland Islands to Falun. Yep I knew and I am a friend of said guy. When Sabaton was looking for a keyboard player in the beginning they asked my friend 'cause they knew he was talented and had played with Joe Lynn Turner and some other known musicians. My friend had gotten to know the guys in Sabaton while working with kids and teenagers in Falun. My friend declined 'cause he is more of a flower power guy and did not want to make music about war even in a historical way.
Just commenting to say I was in Åland once 12 years ago (I’m American), and my host took me to Dinos Bar. Great memories! There was a band from Southeast Asia (Thailand?) playing that would apparently come up frequently during the summer. Man, now I’ve gotta go back through some old photos and reminisce...
@@kd37555 Made in Thailand is the band name. :)
@@jacobsnellman1796 Awesome, thanks! Loved my time there, and hoping to come back one day when we can all safely travel again. :)
I was actually at the first version you reacted to. Sweden Rock Festival was a huge deal back then, if you were into metal. I had gotten my driver's license around that time and was blasting that album in my car, so I was super pumped to watch them live. But, yeah, in hindsight - maybe not the most epic performance. XD
I serve old folks communities here in SoCal and I have several customers whom were there at D-day. They were young soldiers coming off the vehicles, jumping into the water, to storm the beaches! I love talking with them about their point of views how things went down.
That’s wild! I’m sure you’ve heard some crazy stories!
@@TankTheTech yes indeed! Our younger generation could still learn a thing or two from these guys...
@@TankTheTech If you have hard time to pick the guitar models , you can assume its just a custom body and go with parts you can see .
A bit like in this Suomi guitar oakbridge.fi/galleria/suomi-39/ , custom builder only made the body , rest of the parts are taken from normal production guitar .
Guitar neck is a pain in the butt to make , so most custom builder buy them from factory or take the parts from customers guitar , when they just want custom body .
Can you connect the Guitar to the artist , 14 multi choice , yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2017/05/19/fender-stratocaster-vai-gibson-les-paul-testaa-sahkokitaratietosi
Even if you cant Finnish , you see the artist and options what hes playing , John Lennon question is about how he tuned his guitar .
In Germany they are called "Noch ein Bier" and I find it hilarious :-D
I remember this performance they were going to play Gott Mit Uns but changed it up by saying instead of Gott Mit Uns they said Noch en Bier
Everyone came from humble beginnings Metallica started out playing clubs and looking at this video where they started to where they're at now Sabaton did pretty well for themselves
P.S I knew when you showed the Woodstock performance you'll get hit hard
this song became an instant classic when it came out. they exploded onto the swedish metal scene with it.
Pär said Primo Victoria is still his favorite song.
Makes sense. It definitely is part of the foundation of what they've become.
If I had to pick the most Sabaton sounding Sabaton song that's ever been written by Sabaton it would be Primo Victoria, so I can't blame him
Didn't he say it was his favourite to play live?
Primo Victoria is ancient, but still amazing. Its the song that first got me hooked on Sabaton, along with Carolus Rex.
Hi Tank, thanks for your great reaction videos and insights. As well as introducing me to many awesome bands.
Thanks to your and of cause Chases videos I purchased more music in the last few month then in all the last years before.
But when to support artists, if not in the current situation.
That is awesome! I’m glad you’re getting into so much music and thank you for watching these videos!
I remember seeing them live in 2008, they had established their look by then so it seems a lot happened between 05-08.
At last! This was the song that introduced me to Sabaton...and it was through the Van Cato cover of it...Seriously you should take a look at their music video for Primo Victoria, trust me! This is one of those songs that never gets old for me, it's on just about every playlist I make (both versions).
Also...I'm looking forward to the day you start braiding your beard.
I love the fact that Diggy Diggy Hole is playing in the background in the begining
Wind Rose is just fun to listen to
Was at the concert at Sweden Rock in -05, quite amazing to see where they are now!
Did see them in a small Swedish town in front of maybe 40-50 people in the crowd later the same year or the year after.
And then see them grow and play bigger venues for every release.
Jump forward some ten years and see them headline Sweden Rock Festival.
In 2022 they 'll (hopefully) tour Sweden with 20-25 dates where 90% are sold out.
Every band starts somewhere.
Been a fan since 2006. Seen them live, man this is old and its becom better. I owned the same jacket and tore the fringes off. My favorite band and my kids grew up with them, going back to see them live for the 2nd time.
My first Sweden Rock Festival experience was in 2006 (the year after this Sabaton concert). Didn't know about Sabaton until "Carolus Rex" was released. SRF is only 45 min drive from my home town! Last year, both Nightwish, Amaranthe and Guns 'n roses was supposed to play there... Then it got postponed to this year, but I don't think it will happen this time either... 😕 I'll buy a ticket for 2022.
I am so glad I got to see them this Sept 2021 before they had to end their US tour. They are just so cool, haven't seen better.
This song is such an ear worm. My son and I are both known to randomly start singing "Through the gates of hell, as we make our way to heaven, through the nazi lines..." as we walk through the house. It will get soooooooo stuck in your head.
What about when you go shopping in the self checkout?
The way you smile after head banging genuinely makes me feel great. Because I know deep down how it feels when the music just hits you 🤘 so glad I found your channel
Eyeyey Sweden Rock??? Omg ive waited for the day that you were gonna react to anything from my absolute favorite festival! I basically grew up there! You made my Februari now Tank!
Funfact tho: Norje is a village of around 100 people and Sweden Rock is Swedens biggest Rockfestival thats hosts around 40k people. So that lil village gets a populationincrease of around 4000x what they have in the rest of the year!
I don’t know if you ever have played the game “world of tanks”? (Well you should regarding your name). Sabaton is co-working with the company in many ways and they actually have a special tank in the game that “belongs to sabaton” and it is named “primo victoria”. Great reaction as always 💪🏻🇸🇪
Hey Tank, if you like this huge crowd singing along, make sure to get the whole video from Woodstock 2012 called Swedish Empire Live. During the intro before Ghost Division, this crowd sings The Final Countdown by Europe. Absolutely amazing
For me, after listening to many of sabaton stuff, my favorite album is the great war album. I love every song off of it. I don't think they have worsened or got more formulaic over time.
It's so interesting to see bands in their early days before they become established!
Best day of week made even better by having Diggy Diggy Hole as the intro song haha!
Also check out Civil War of you haven't already, their song Bay of Pigs is great!
Greetings from Sweden. This festival gig was my first time hearing Sabaton. Been a fan ever since. Love the channel!
I’m only now catching up on the Sabaton reactions, and I’m immensely enjoying them with you. Great work! In case you weren’t already aware, I wanted to let you know that German “a cappella” (mostly) metal band Van Canto did an a cappella cover this song featuring Joakim. I think you’d get a real kick out of the cover! Van Canto are still going strong and they have an upcoming album with a recently released music video of the song “Falling Down” from that album. They’re signed with Napalm Records, so that should help with the reaction(s).
This clearly shows that the greatness of any band or song is it's audience/fans.
aaaaaaaaaa screw you for putting diggy diggy hole in the background during the intro, now it'll be stuck in my head again for the upcoming week LMAO
Hahahaha. You’re welcome!
It's interesting seeing the first do nothing for you, because I experienced the same thing when i watched you double react to 40:1 yesterday. I adore 40:1 and if I'm not listening to the album version I'm watching the Woodstock performance. But when you reacted to the Wacken performance first, which I'd never seen... I sat there feeling disappointed. It felt lacklustre and flat and I had no idea why; I've loved every other Wacken performance I've seen of Sabaton's, I love 40:1, they had old members and were using both stages for crying out loud! Why did it feel so hollow? Then you reacted to Woodstock and oh my god, it just does not compare. Five hundred and fifty THOUSAND Polish metalheads losing their minds over a song about their country's oft-overlooked historical triumphs, while the band feed off that insane energy... it just elevates the performance beyond anything that can be replicated. Sabaton at Woodstock was Sabaton Transcendent.
By the way I've got the coolest order to extent your Unleash the Archers adventure:
- Tonight we ride (omg Brittany what is your voice doing?)
- Legacy (iconic goosebump lyric/story video)
- Faster than Light (why I've get wet eyes?)
- Northwest Pasage (is that folk man... are you serious?!)
After that you should be totally expired to this band. I don't know what to think about their first album and some of the older songs with a little more unmelidous vocals, but I'll love after more hearing it.
Meanwhile I am totally Archers slave, no days is passing, I don't hear one of their songs, focussed to their newest album
One of my all time favorite songs, it's just so energetic!
I was a part of that crowd in 2012, and it was amazing. Best concert I have ever been XD
Van Canto’s cover is great,. Might see someone familiar.
That would be an interesting video, but not a lot of gear for Tank to talk about ;)
@@weirdguybr Was just mentioning a group/band he might not know.
They did some good Manowar covers, and that'd be a segue to them for Tank. :)
@@weirdguybr HAHAHA " hmm yes I see that some of the bandmemeber actually use a mouth "
@@weirdguybr a lot of gears 😂😂
I've been begging him to do a gear reaction to van canto!
Primo Victoria is the quintescensial Sabaton song. That's how I discovered them (alongside the "Cliffs of Gallipoli" song) back in 2009 and the song still holds a special place in my heart. :)
Primo Victoria is pretty much the quintessential Sabaton song. (It also happens to be my 7 year old daughter's favorite song in the whole wide world.) It's also the one that translates the worst from live performance to live video, because it relies a lot on the crowd and the energy of the venue to get the most out of it. When you're watching the video it's cool, but when you're in the pit, it's an experience.
Finally! 🤘🏻🔥 and Joakims hair 😂😂
Thanks for considering my suggestion! Keep up thr amazing work!
This was my first Sweden rock Festival and when I saw Sabaton playing I got hooked, I have been a fan for 16 years and I'm still on the hook. The years have gone so fast but I always look forward for new sabaton songs in the future.
This has to be the nerdiest reaction video i'v ever seen, and I LOVED IT! As a failed music studio assistant in my earlier days, your passion for this genre deseves you a Like and a Sub!
I doubt that i ever would have seen Sabaton, in what you describes as "Battle of the bands" 2005 live. And then in contrast to their consert in Poland.
Tank, I'm afraid you weren't listening. Joakim said "Jump!" not "Headbang!"😁. Keep them coming, great work. And in two weeks we're expecting fan favourite: To hell and back or The Winged Hussars
CROSSES GROW ON ANZIOOOOOOO
🤘😎🤘
Have you heard of Seven Pillars of Wisdom? No? It is about TIME now, dude! ...no I will never stop.. Epic again. Keep doing it.
Primo Victoria was the first album I bought from Sabaton. I was on LimeWire one day and searched for Counter-Strike 1.6, then I found this song I thought was a song about the game, so I downloaded it. turns out it was a badass song on it's own.
Wow, that Live Video is about the time i saw them first! Saw them on the Sabaton/Custard Tour in 2006 in a 100 Person Location in Germany. Even back then they where amazing! Joachim had already cut his hair then.
I was at the festival back in 2005, and it was the first time hearing Sabaton, been a fan ever since.
Funny to see this older video, it's kinda trip back to the roots of so much bands
First time I saw them live was at Sweden rock in 2010. They played early on the thursday (2nd day of the festival). Crazy how big theyve gotten since then. Im really glad Ive got to experince that journey
First song i heard live from them. They had more of their current style but was a really small concert stage (Huskvarna Folkets Park) with several other bands in Sweden, back in 2008 or so.... man i loved it and blew out some of hearing that night, would still do it again!
their live performance at Wacken of Primo Victoria was so crazy!
Loves your instant emotional reaction to the second vid, get shivers from it myself.
Not only did they step up their props and all that, imagine their confidence. They know what they're capable of. They were kids, rookies and newbs on the first one but they're experienced professionals now. What that does to people makes all the difference. :)
I loved this video, dude! Seeing the band then vs now was really fun and your reactions are 10/10. You should do Carolus Rex next! That song was the "gateway drug" into the metal world for me. It never gets old.
I was there at that show on Sweden Rock 2005. Me and my friend had never heard of Sabaton before and saw them only because some guy we had a few beers with the night before said that we should check them out. It was the first act of the second day, like 11 or so in the morning. I had a brutal hangover and it was already hot as Hell. I am so glad I got out of my tent to see them. They opened with “Panzer Battalion” and I was hooked from the start. Almost 20 years on, they are still one of my favourite bands and I think I’ve seen them live at least 7 times. Also, @TankTheTech: thanks for a great channel. Love your work. Keep it up!
Yes! I recommended the 2005 video to you on Twitter. So glad to see you went through with the double reaction!
Wow, that old performance was great for perspective...
Since the next Sabaton song is in Swedish I've taken the liberty of translating it for you now that it's finally released.
Will hopefully be helpful in getting the mood and tone of the song. :) (p.s. I also posted it as a side-by-side translation in the TankChase discord, in #learn-languages-with-metal)
Honored the royal guard stand.
Established by the father of our country.
Dedicated service for 500 years.
From the march over Bält. (note: reference to when the Swedish army marched across the frozen water to invade Denmark)
Fought at Lund, on the fields of Narva.
They follow in heroes tracks.
Forged by fire and dala-blood. (note: dala is an abbreviation of dalarna, the "state" in Sweden where they were formed, and also where Sabaton are from)
Frozen ground and heroism.
In a time of war they stood.
Founded with but 16 men.
The kingdom's oldest combat unit.
A time.
Of war.
Wherever the road may lead.
To protect, the royal guard swore.
For king and country they dedicate their lives.
Knee to knee the royal guard march.
Fought for the father of our country.
Dedicated service for 500 years.
From the march over Bält.
Fought at Lund, on the fields of Narva.
They follow in heroes tracks.
Regardless of who bears the crown.
To their king they loyalty swear.
In a time of peace, they remain.
Traditions from the past.
Still guard the doors to power.
In peace.
And in war.
Wherever the road may lead.
Round our king the royal guard stands.
For land and kingdom they sacrifice their lives.
Knee to knee the royal guard march.
Fought for the father of our country.
Dedicated service for 500 years.
From the march over Bält.
Fought at Lund, on the fields of Narva.
They follow in heroes tracks.
For Sweden in time. (note: this is the motto of our current king, which is also printed on our coins which bear his face)
Where the king goes.
They do what seem impossible.
Whatever the future might bring.
Wherever the road may lead.
To protect, the royal guard swore.
For king and country they dedicate their lives.
Honored the royal guard stand.
Established by the father of our country.
Dedicated service for 500 years.
From the march over Bält.
Fought at Lund, on the fields of Narva.
They follow in heroes tracks.
one of my faves of them.
Watch the van Canto version of this song that features Joakim.
First time i am commenting on one of your videos. But this time i had to.
This was my seventh year at Sweden rock. I wasn't supposed to go down to The festival area until later that day, but i was interested to take a look at a band that i had an burnt cd of that was called Sabaton, Fist for fight. I really liked that demo it had powermetal songs with kind of growly/guttural song, it was something new.
Long story short, i went down and checked them out.
I am somewhere in the middle of the crowd but i cant find myself in the video. Great experience and a great concert. Later that evening i saw another up and coming band on the same stage, Behemoth!
That’s awesome, man!!! Thank you for sharing. I bet that was one hell of an experience!
And if you’re the same Magnus, someone earlier in the comments definitely said they spotted you out.
I also saw Behemoth in 2005 opening for Chimaira, and they were insane!
In the first chorus of the first video my brain went blank for a moment - something was *off* but it took a moment to realize what. Yes, Joakim was singing the same words. Same pitch.
Then it dawned to me - he did not have to compete against the crowd in singing the lines.
I've just never seen Sabaton concert, live or video, where audience wouldn't push their lungs out at the chorus. Knowing the words. And correct rhythm.
And trust me, I've seen more than few.
Oh that Woodstock concert was an epic one :) amazing memories
Tank was summoning his inner Floor Jansen with that head bang whirlwind 😂
Still so much to go through! But for today lets bring up some older Sabaton songs for Tank to react to. Union, cliffs of Gallipoli, the price of a mile, Midway, White Death, The final solution, The carolean prayer, Hearts of Iron, and Gott Mit uns (God with us). And to be honest, Primo Victoria was my first Sabaton song thanks to a game called Hearts of Iron IV. Its wild to see them from back then! Joakim with a mullet! Oh man thats great.
Rikard is currently endorsed by Fang Guitars. (I've never heard of them.)
Found that out from someone on Discord while editing this. I had never heard of them either.
Swedish custom-shop, they also endorse Oskar Montelius. Don't think they have any other endorsements, though I might be wrong about that, not my style so haven't really paid attention.
16 years ago like 5 people were jumping. In 2012 over 500 000 people were jumping. They sure have evolved.
i`m following them from i 2005/06 i think and the moment i listened to Back in Control and Primo Victoria i was hooked. But for all those years i never realized how much they have changed lol
The connection they have with the public are just awsome to watch. Hope we can go to conserts soon..... 😀🇸🇪 Hope you do Gott mit uns soon, and the cover Feuerschwanz does, interesting what you would say about that 🤔😀
This might just be my favorite song by them, as it was my introduction to the band. I had been introduced to Van Canto shortly before, and their cover of it with Joakim just blew my mind from the very opening of the song.
somehow the only thing I found weird with the 2005 performance, was not hearing joakim say "jump" before the chorus... otherwise I was just blown away how strong their performance was
(obviously joakim with hair was weird too, but let's just talk music and stage presence)
I live in a border city to Poland and was part of this crazy 550.000 people woodstock festival in Küstrin.
I get there just to see Sabaton. And it was fu***ng amazing how you can see.
It was incredible how loud the crowd was althought we were outside.
They also played 40:1 the following single.
The polish people love Sabaton, so the crowd is be more great than in other cities.
Aaaand Woodstock is a payless festival.☝ They played there just for fun. That makes them more sympathic I think.😍
Sorry if my english was incorrect🙈
Your English is great! Thanks for the comment!
