![[Industry Ghostwriter][Hiphop Head] Reacts to: Sabaton- The Las Stand- PLAYLIST WORTHY!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/WJaou8mGfFQ/mqdefault.jpg)
The reason that they use their music to teach military history is because the lead singer used to work as a history teacher and the lead guitarist is a former member of the Swedish military.
Bruh imagine being some random Swedish kid and one day u see ur history teacher on stage singing about the bismarck or something
Sweden had conscription for many years (helps if a neutral country has a strong enough army to act as a deterrent) so it would be unsurprising to hear several members served, albeit briefly.
@@Adam-hs9ft LMAO yeah that'd be pretty funny. "this song is pretty good... Is that Mr. Brodén?"
@@Adam-hs9ft imagine in the early 2000's and your phd advisor in genetics says he sings in a punk band - you ask what it's called - he says "bad religion". imagine you measured asteroid dust clouds for your paper - peer reviewer number two wants you to write more extensively about why this resarch would "rock us".
Adding a month later: Sabaton are masters in setting a 'feel' or 'vibe' for a song. Bismarck had the strength and power of the battleship. This song has that 'holy' vibe, which makes sense. Defense of Moscow has its own, for another example.
Great reaction and wonderful analysis. You pointed out things I have never heard before, making me appreciate this song even more. I enjoy bands that actually tell tales with their songs, and don't just throw together fluff lyrics to lay over the music or bands that actually write good lyrics but use the song as an excuse to endlessly shred. As an aside, the Swiss pikemen were renowned throughout Europe as ferocious and tough warriors and served as guards for numerous royal families. I would also like to add there is another band whose themes are historically accurate tales of war; Civil War was formed by three ex-Sabaton members who left amiably since they wanted to tour less. Keep rocking.
This song is Sabaton's gateway drug.
This was the first sabaton song I ever heard and I can confirm
Ha! Awesome description.
this and ghost div
3:05 well, I do consider Sabaton XXI century version of Bards telling the great stories of great warriors and battles, but in power metal version xD
Every solo is designed specifically for the atmosphere and feeling they want to set on the songs theme.
I like how they waited until the last phrase of the song to tell the exact name of the unit ❤.
Allthough if you hear 1527 you can guess sacco di roma. After that its pretty clear 😅. But i like that they named the proud swiss guard. If i had served in the military i would have joined the swiss guard.
This was the song that introduced me to Sabaton. It was background music in a video and i Shazam’d it to learn the band. Love Sabaton
Also my first Sabaton song🙂
Nice reaction! You certainly spotted musical ideas I hadn't really noticed myself. It's always fun to learn *why* a song that works for you works for you.
And the storytelling aspect also shifts the emphasis a bit, because the song and the vocals are only a vessel - Joakim does not do much vocal trickery, but he is incredibly good at punching singing that delivers Every. Last. Phonetic. with precision.
I think it is fair to say that most of metal lyrics is about storytelling in one way or another. Maybe you can translate from bookwriting "show" do not "tell", "normal" popular music is telling (e.g. "I love you baby") and metal shows (e.g. "Angles come down tonight, There’s no longer a distance, Between heaven and my life, To the light they guide me" instead of "I am dying" or "I’ve tried to reach you, to find back home I’m faithful to my vow, All these years are dead and gone
I don’t want to end this now, I close my eyes, to see your face, Divided hearts embraced, Here I stand alone And waiting for your love")
It is one of my favorit songs of sabaton, it has such an awesome structure and such an emotional drive, and it also conveys the message of the vocals in the music.
I really love the idea of conveiing historic events through songs. I have been listening to sabaton for about 16 month now and have seen many of their Sabaton-History videos and such a lot of that informations keeps stuck in my mind through the combination of the great music and knowing what it is about. Amazing concept.
Please check out their newest song "2016" released last week. It is a cover of a Motörhead song but Sabaton gives it their own spin, it is amazing and since Lemy wrote it as a tribute to the fallen soldiers it fit's perfectly to Sabaton.
Glad to see you back with Sabaton.
A song that is seldom reacted to is Smoking Snakes, about Brasilian soldiers fighting alongside the allied forces in invading Italy and driving out the Germans during WWII. I remember during your reaction to Bismarck about you talked of transposing the music into a marsch. Smoking Snakes has with pride been taken up as a marsch by the Brasilian army musical corps. Give it a listen!
I concur, an excellent song about a part of history that is rarely told.
*Wow!* Didn' know that! Wow!
I’ve never been so happy to hear “sorry…we’re gonna do that again” so many times.
Thank you for enjoying more Sabaton!
Sabaton's a good power metal band, yes, but there's lots of those. Sabaton does history, and they do it well. My personal favorites are Bismarck, Christmas Truce, and this one. Newest is 1916, a cover of a Motorhead song. Also, the well-enunciated sing ing is no accident. If you're going to tell stories, people need to hear the words!! I've seen them live twice now, and they're worth seeing, imo.
Very deep and technical reaction, as a musician I really appreciate that.
This is one of the songs that made me know SabatoN.
The other one is Pasadena 1994 from NanowaR of Steel with Joakim Broden.
On the other side I did a lot of medieval reenactment in the past, so I really appreciate what they did also in an historical perspective. Thank you for the reaction. I’ve learned something, an that’s good.
I feel what could be up your street is their album the symphony to end all wars. A version of their album the war to end all wars. In terms of music videos theres also Steel Commanders which features chellist Tina Guo and also Angels calling featuring Apocalyptica.
I really enjoy your commenting. It makes me feel half way intelligent 😆
Sabaton is a Swedish band that writes and sings about Actual historic events, battles, moments of heroism and wars, but hey don't glorify war whatsoever.
They released their 10th studio album earlier this year.
Nice thing about them is that their video's never blocked so it's CZcams safe. (except for some Wacken video's that gets blocked by Wacken)
If you really want to go down the Sabaton rabbit-hole, I would recommend these:
(These are all from the Sabaton Channel, and they never block videos so it's safe to use)
[live at Woodstock 2012]: Ghost Division, 40:1 and Uprising
[Great Tour Live Videos]: En Livstied I Krig (make sure to turn subtitles on), Red Baron, Swedish Pagans, Primo Victoria, Fields of Verdun, Devil Dogs & Angels Calling
[Lyric videos]: Attack of the dead men, The Final Solution, In Flanders Fields, 82nd All the way, Sparta, Shiroyama, Cliffs Of Gallipolli and The lost betallion
[Music Video's]: Bismarck, Christmas Truce, Steel Commanders, Defence of Moscow, Livgardet (make sure to turn subtitles on), Fields of Verdun, Rourke's Drift, Screaming Eagles, Uprising, The Future Of Warfare (Building Blocks Video) & Seven Pillars of wisdom
[Animated History Video's]: Night Witches and No Bullets Fly (not animated music video's, the animated history/story video's)
[Covers]: Kingdom Come [Offical video]
and I'm sure people told you but in case, Sabaton have another channel (Sabaton History Channel) where they do a deep dive into the history behind the songs with Indy Nidell.
Sabaton also has an award winning history channel here on CZcams that gives background to over 100 if their songs.
Sabaton videos are often have dedictions and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but, watching to the very end is frequently well worth it.
Animated STORY videos (short history lessons with music videos in them)
No bullets fly
Night witches
Lady of the dark
Red baron
epic videos.
Bismark, about the sinking of the ship
Defence of Moscow, self explained.
Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914
40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939
Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising against the nazi germans during 1944.
To hell and back, they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face.
Fields of verdun, the 300+ day long battle fought there.
Price of a mile, about the battle of Passchendaele
Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge
Live performances
40:1 from poland
Uprising from poland
En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war.
these are just some, there are plenty more.
oh, forgot, the polish soldiers in 40:1 held the line for 3 DAYS against odds closer to 52:1 but... (Spelling edited)
I think soldier of heaven would be another great one
@@Iamthesun314yup, as I said, plenty more.
You should definitely do more songs like resist and bite gallipoli etc and they also have a history channel sabaton history where they go in detail the history behind the song and a lite about the song itself
I know I'm late to the party, but having just found your channel, it seems we share an appreciation of Sabaton as well as an appreciation of quality drum work.
So if you want to hear Hannes absolutely go wild behind the set, I would recommend either Soldier of Three Armies or Hill 3234.
Sabaton have just released a tribute to a Motorhead song, "1916”. You'd be mad not to see it
I'll also recommend Rammstein's "Dicke Titten"
For Sabaton you need to colab with a history teacher.
And Tommy Johansson doing Phantom of the opera ( the gitarr guy in Sabaton has a angels voice)
Great video... if you get a chance to see this band live go. I got to see them in London.
This is tommy lead guitarist from sabaton take a look no end to this mans talent

The Swiss Guard has very strict application requirements, but yeah, this song pretty much sums up the expectations.
have I heard Floor in chorus somewhere way in a back?
Hello. What is a run? What is a riff? What would be the technical term for the voice of the lead singer. Thanks
A run is a fast series of notes, usually a portion of a scale. A riff is a melodic or harmonic sequence; typically it is repeated. The most common term for the lead singer is exactly that, the lead singer/vocalist.
@@ShawkaReacts let me think....a riff would be like The first instrumental in Def Leopardo "Sugar me" bcause they repeat It during The song? But STILL can not visualize what run IS like. Could you tell men, in this Sabaton song, where is the run? Thank you again.
well, as you know Sabaton is telling stories of real events or persons, without any glory or fame, based on known facts.....Want to have a real classic? check out "No bullets fly" in the animated story video version! Cheers!
try attack of the dead man, uprising, or soldier of heaven
Please listen to 1916, Dreadnought and Soldier of heaven
Amazing song!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
SHORT FACTS:
The outnumbered Swiss Guards, protectors of the Vatican, stood against an invading horde during the sack of Rome in 1527, Giving their lives so the Pope could escape...
The song is based on the perspective of those people,.
& how driven & Loyal they were to their faith in order to sacrifice their lives...
-It's very Deep🤍
The band itself is not a christian band.^^
In case nobody has said yet, the band Coheed & Cambria also tell a story with their music. It's less direct and clear than Sabaton, but certain songs like Welcome Home are very blatant.
There is actually 4 singers not 3.!
Alltid den svenska versionen, så mycket bättre.
The Song is about the 189 swiss Papal Mercenaries and the reason why the Swiss Guard allways on this date sworn in the new Guards and also the reason why they still wear this midevial clothes. It was a Medici Pope they saved and the colors of the Clothes are the Colors of the Medici🇨🇭❤
