Yes, Sabaton is all about history. The Swedish version of "A Lifetime of War" is about (Swedish) soldiers' experience in the 30 year war 1618 - 1648.
There is one part that hits harder in the English version.
The frase
Religion and greed cause millions to bleed.
It hits deep.
@@adp6632 I might be biased but the swedish version hits 10 times harder for me
@@mattiaskarlsson1386 it does for me to. But that frase in the English version. So much death because of money or something that might be nothing more then a fairy tale.
It really makes one think
@@adp6632 True, but the phrases "Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem" makes you really get perspective of how awful war is aswell as the line "gick ut i strid för sverige, blev döpt i blod" That line makes my bones shiver.
@@daronoch5779 same here. And thx for saying phrase. It was driving me crazy how to spell it 😂
Sabaton sings about war related history.
En livstid i krig (a lifetime of war) is about a Swedish soldier in the 30 years war. The lyrics for the English version takes a broader picture of the conflict.
This song is from the Carolus Rex album which was released in both Swedish and English.
That album is about the rise and fall of the Swedish empire.
They write songs about historic events. They also have a separate channel “Sabaton History” where they talk about the events/persons that inspired the songs.
I am a Australian and a massive Sabaton fan, this is one of my favourite songs they sing. Massive Tommy Johansson fan. I’ve never seen your channel before ❤️🔥🤘🎸🇸🇪
Tommy, Sabaton, History and Music bringing people together from all over the world 😀🤘
Dwayne: If you’re watching this your a fan of Sabaton.
Me: I’m watching because I’m a fan of you 😂
its a stadion Scandinavium it was about 10500 people, and I was there, Sabaton is amazing live band :-)
I don't even like metal, but still fell into the Sabaton rabbit hole because I'm interested in history. Sabaton is really a special rabbit hole because of the storytelling and movie-like music videos. Check, for example, their cover of mötorhead's "1916" (about the Battle of the Somme) or the animated story version of "no bullets fly" to name a few songs that touch your countrymen.
Yes, the animated story version of No Bullets Fly, definitely! And of course Bismarck.
Sabaton is a great band! I saw you reacted to Nightwish (also a great band) the same day. Fun fact, the drummer in Sabaton is married to the singer in Nightwish. I liked your reaction, please do more of this kind of stuff 👍
I am a huge fan (69 years old). I have seen them live!
You have to react to "Christmas truce" by Sabaton! its one of there best songs ever!
About time you divei nto the wonderful world of one of my favourite bands! Seen them live nine times and counting!
They write about military history specifically. And with Sabaton you never have to worry about getting copyright strikes on a reaction video, they have fully embraced the reaction community!
Sabaton is a deep rabbithole filled with awesome music. I see comments before me have explained what they are about, so I won't dig into that. I was there that evening, 10th row to the left, and every time I see this video, I get goosebumps. It was an epic night. You asked for more to watch from Sabaton, but also other artists, so I will give some suggestions.
Sabaton The great war(music video), Ghost Division (live Woodstock)
Tommy Johansson (the guy that played the solo) and his rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, She's gone(Steeleheart cover)
Erik Grönwall I will always love you, Dream on
Chris Kläfford; Imagine, Cold at the Altar, Tennesee Whiskey
Helen Sjöholm Du måste finnas(video with eng subtitles)
Tommy Körberg Anthem
Tommy Johansson, the lead guitarist, also plays the drums, piano and other instruments. Tommy also has a very good voice. His cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is epic. Check it out! 🎸
I agree but I would say his cover of "Who wants to live forever" is even better
@@evabaxter5396 and he has many Swedish songs he can look in to as well by Tommy J !! 👍🏻
Tommy left a little while ago... Thobbe is back!
@@h06anbjo I know, but I'm in denial. 🎸
@@evabaxter5396 Sorry for reminding you!
Ooooh lots of songs to react to. Last stand, 1916( motorhead cover) Price of a mile, No bullets fly and of course Christmas truce
Sabaton sings about war history. Different battles over the world. They even have a history channel at CZcams.
If you liked the guitar solo, it was played by Tommy Johansson (now a former band member), he sings good too and every friday he release a cover on his youtube channel, definately worth subscribing to. www.youtube.com/@ReinXeed
Also, if you are doing more Sabaton reactions I can recommend the animated verson of their videos since they contain a prolog and epilog of the event, for example "No bullets fly". It is awesome.
Sabaton are true history buffs, they also run "Sabaton history channel" on youtube. They do not take side in conflicts or trying to glorify, they just show what happened.
technically, only half of the solo was Tommy.... but meh, we get it... I will forever be loyal to the Chris army ;) Chris also play the drums, did you know that? :P
I did not know, thanks for the info. 🙂
@@FemaleSniper86 Exactly! I love this video. My only regret is that Chris' solo isn't shown here. I knew he played the drums. And he's listed as writing some great Sabaton songs, such as Soldier of Heaven. The 80s synth intro was his idea too. He also is a graphic designer.
Sabation celebrating 25 years
there metal stories is huge..Everything they do they give it all for just one song.
Love Sabaton. Christmas truth is one of my favorite.
More Sabaton please, Im convinced this album especially the Swedish version is one of the greatest albums of all time spanning any genre, the lyrics are so deep, the music so epic, and the fact that its all based on real life events and not fantasy makes it hit so much harder. You should definitely listen to this entire album from start to finish, it tells a story in many parts, from the rise and fall of the swedish empire pretty much.
You should also check out them playing 40:1 on woodstock infront of a crowd of approximately 1million people!
Great reaction to my favourite band!!🤘🇸🇪 As a Swede I feel very proud in moments like this🤗 When I went to my first ( been at 3 concerts and counting) Sabaton concert I went by myself. It wasn't hard finding friends there😄 And it was in Oslo, Norway, 2020. The same tour, with the same stage set, 2 days after this one. Sabaton actually had a sold out concert at the Wembley Arena in London that year! 😉
They make songs about military history. 2 latest albums are about the Great War. Check out their official music videos for "Christmas Truce", "Seven pillars of wisdom" and "1916" (Motörhead cover). Some British history there😊. If you dare, also check out the official lyric video for "Blood of Bannockburn". Sabaton also have a history channel on CZcams, Sabaton History, where they tell the story behind all of the songs. The host, Indy Nidell, is actually starring as Lawrence of Arabia in the music video for "Seven pillars of wisdom".
About Sabaton.
Sabaton is a Swedish power metal band from Falun, which was formed in 1999. The band's songs are inspired by various historical wars. Even the band name is military inspired, as Sabaton is also the name of the part of the armor that covers the foot. Sabaton has toured with, among others, Iron Maiden, Scorpions and Hammerfall.
The song Livstid i krig is about the 30 years' war that Sweden took part in. The Thirty Years' War was a major European conflict from 1618-1648 that mainly took place on German soil. The war consisted of a series of connected conflicts.
You missed a lot when you watched the video. First, all the band members are wearing camouflage pants, then the whole stage is built like a bunker. The drummer sits atop a tank turret and plays.
Yes. And one important addition due to fans sometimes leaping onto stage. The short pyro pillars are now connected with barbed wire:)
They have a unique way of honoring the soldiers who fought and died without honoring the conflicts they fought in or the regimes they fought for. It’s a balance they do very well.
Yes, they sing about history and they are a really cool band with some intresting songs so you should definetly react to some more Sabaton
If you like Sabaton you will love the Swedish band “The Hives” you NEED to check out when they sing “Hate To Say I Told You So” live!! The guitar riff sounds amazing and it’s just an amazing song especially performed live!! I would recommend this live version of the song: czcams.com/video/VKuQGo2iXx0/video.htmlfeature=shared ENJOY!!!!🔥
Love Sabaton and their videos are epic, just look Bismark.. br. from Finland to our metal sisters and brothers in Sweden..
Sabaton are great live, even playing small venues they give it their all.
One of the guitar players has his own CZcams channel his name is Tommy Johansson check it out he makes Metal music from bands like ABBAS songs
Yes please do that. He is fantastic, great singer and play a lot of instruments. He is a really a one man band and he really love what he does. It is a aura of happiness around him ❤ You heard his solo here.
Never seen Sabaton ....u have a big hole to discover. Look at polish woodstock and Sabaton....biggest festival in the world
I live in Gothenburg, I've seen Sabaton live like 6 times and I'm still a fan, but I missed this particular show. I don't know how, I just didn't know they were playing.
So happy you reacted to this! Definitely one of my favourite Sabaton song. I highly recommend checking out Christmas Truce as well.
I agree and add Bismarck to the list as well
to add to the context of the crowd taking over the concert. Sabaton was performing in Gothenburg, Sweden, the home turf of Sabaton. if you look you can see Joakim (the lead singer) just fall quiet not knowing what to do and Thomas (one of the guitarists) having his mind blown
According to the press, there were 10,766 people at this concert in the Scandinavium ice hockey arena just before Covid hit.
The article is from 2020-02-14
It was just before we started with the restrictions here in Sweden due to Covid. Had tickets for 5 shows and 1 festival that year and this was the only one that happend.
Great reaction and you have a lot of epic content to go through regarding Sabaton. They even have a history channel for most if not all songs where they go through the history of the event the songs are about.
Greetings from Sweden .😁
Yes! You have missing out! Welcome to the Sabaton family!
I have enjoyed your Swedish days, and now I hope I can fallow you on this journey. 🇸🇪🤘🏻
Welcome to the Sabaton rabbit-hole, this is a Sabaton reaction channel now...
Metal has a tendency to be tragic, sad, deep and personal lyric wise, but at the same time it’s like a relief of emotion to just be able to scream all of it together and know ur not alone. The metal community is extremely supportive and accepting of everyone even remotely interested in it, if u meet a true metal head and tell them like “hey I wanna go to a metal concert or a festival” they will most definitely just bring u along, make sure ur having a good time, show u around and tell u anything u wanna know.
Good festivals with a LOT of huge bands are, Sweden Rock, Download Festival, Hellfest, Bloodstock open air and more.
The song is about the 30 year war when Sweden had to defend the german protestant against the catholic oppression
I've been lurking around your channel for a while, so I was super excited to see you doing a reaction to this band. It's one of my absolute favorite bands, history nerd (and Swede) that I am. Great reaction! And yes, you hit the mark on all your guesses, Sabaton writes about military history and like a few people have mentioned already, this is about the 30 Year War, literally a lifetime of war for many young soldiers. There are so many great songs I can't even begin to recommend any, the list would be endless. But I hope you will do more reactions to the band and their amazing songs. If you're into history, also check out their history channel here on youtube, it provides some great backstory to the songs. The presenter, Indy, is a lot of fun and have starred in two of their music videos (Seven Pillars, and The Unkillable Soldier), both awesome songs and stories.
year my two favourites songs in 2 hours.thank you for reacting.
Sabaton is the greates Power Metal band ever. I have seen them live two times in my life. Would love to see them live again. I am so exited for the upcoming "Sabaton - The Tour To End All Tours” concert film that will have premiere in Sweden on the 11th of October.
Dwayne, there is some Viking things going on here, Norway, Swedes, Danes, Finish are brothers in arms.
And that will never change.
Sabaton are certainly worth checking out live. In October of 2022 I saw them on back to back nights in Nashville and Atlanta. It was very much worth all of the driving. The opening band for those shows was Epica (another symphonic metal band with a female soprano lead, but with harsh male vocals as well) who are also worth checking into.
If you’re looking for a Swedish banger to react to performed by our Swedish Queen Zara Larsson you should check out “Ain’t My Fault” it’s a banger for sure!! Link to the video here: czcams.com/video/eC-F_VZ2T1c/video.htmlfeature=shared
You are absolutely correct. You've just opened up a box of goodies my friend. There is much to discover here. Welcome.
I saw sabaton live. That very concert. It was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen and the coolest thing I will ever do. It was so amazing I can’t even explain it
Sabaton sing about real history events. This song is about the 30 year war betwen Sweden Russia and some part of Germany from a Swedish solders veiw. And its in a inndoor stadium call Scandinavium
Well, not Russia. Sweden against Poland and about the rest of continental Europe...
But unusually enough not Denmark and Russia.
U should watch Woodstock 40:1
Someone wrote the Ullevi stadium earlier, but that is wrong. They played in the Scandinavium stadium which take about 14000 ppl when they host sports and about 17000 ppl in concert mode.
Someone might have mentioned this already but the name Sabaton is also the name of the piece of armor surrounding the foot of a knights armor.
Making this video has invited the entire Saboton fan base to your channel, not gone lie, you probably will quite a few song Request 😅
One of my favourite songs is: The Valley of death.
The drummer of Sabaton is Floor Jansen's husband (Nightwish singer),,😎
SABATON - No Bullets Fly (Animated Story Video) Next ?1
They sing about the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) .. Where Sweden became a great power
This swedish girl just LOVE Sabaton. This band has their own history channel here on CZcams as well so go and check that out. They did a great cover some time back on the Motörhead song 1916
If you want to hear some even heavier and not as famous Swedish metal you should listen to Raubtier. They have a different Swedish accent (more northern) 🙂
I was in that crowd, it was a lot of fun and really cool!
This performance is from a arena called Scandinavium in Gothenburg around 10 766 people attending.
The band and song is already explained so I’m just gonna add… The war they sing about is the same war that made the Swedes build the Vasa ship you just reacted to. Fun and happy coincident! 😊
Ps I’m not a metal fan but Living in Sweden (and Finland too ofc) metal is huge and I work with at least 3 metal heads so I’ve heard a few songs for sure. From what little I know I can say I think Sabaton is an amazing band.
nice of you to look up Sabaton :) you are in for a ride :D
they have tons of great songs and their music videos are something incredible :)
if you want to know more about the songs and what they are about, Sabaton has their own history channel here on youtube :)
be sure to check out Tommy Johansson here on youtube as well, he was lead guitar player in Sabaton but is now focusing on his own stuff :) for example his own band Majestica
Fun Fact: The drummer, Hannes Van Dahl, is actually the husband of Nightwish lead singer, Floor Jansen, whom you reacted to in the previous video. :)
This song always makes me emotional. It's a masterpiece :)
You should absolutely react to Tommy Johansson (the one doing the guitar solo) He has his own You Tube channel and is an awesome musician with one of the best voices in the world.
If u want to see even bigger crowd watch Sabaton live from Woodstock 😂
2 other really good songs of Sabaton is "1916" and "No Bullets Fly".
I think you would like 1916 cause is about Brittish WW1 history.
Sabaton are serious war historians. Check out their website where they give you an in-depth history lesson of the real history of events they sing about. It's so impressive!
They also have songs about Finland wars/War heroes🇫🇮 (Talvisota, Soldier of 3 armies, White Death)
I'm huge Sabaton fan, I love them ❤
I was there! What an epic live it was. They're playing indoors, Skandinavium, where they hold many concerts, musicals such as Disney On Ice, and most famously, it's the stadium for Gothenburg's hockey team, Frölunda.
Sabaton is an amazing band to see live, they have such a fun and lively energy on stage and the crowd goes absolutely wild
It is never too late to become a metalhead.
Epic band, epic song, epic reaction!! Thank you!!
Please react to more Sabaton!!!! They are amazing! There are soooo many types of Metal music. Sabaton plays a very melodic type of Power metal.....or History Metal as the band themselves preffer to call it
I can honestly recommend a Sabaton concert, they are quite good, iirc their highest audience number was in the 500 000 range
Now you have listening to Sabaton. Now you must listening to Our Tommy Johansson who was a guitarist in that band. He does very, very good covers. He makes them metal like ABBAs "The winner takes it all". Its a must! 😊
Sabaton fan here, if you like this song you should check out some more from them! You are right about that they are singing about war and history. First time watching your channel. Great reaction! Love from Sweden
My wife suprised me with tickets to this concerts, its was epic and even more epic is that it was in our hometown.
Sabaton's song are all from some war and historic events
In 2020. Swedes were partying. Others less so.
awesome, this is what I've been waiting for 🤘🤘🤘
I played some of their songs in Swedish for my 84 yo dad. This is good he said. I’ve seen them live three or four times, fantastic!
If you do more reactions to Sabaton, you would be getting lots more subscibers :) It's a large fan base.
Wow, Dwayne reacting to one of my favorite bands? Cool :)
This song "En Livstid I Krig" (A lifetime of war) is from the Swedish version of the thematic album "Carolus Rex" by Sabaton. The album is about Sweden's rise to become a big military power in Europe, and the subsequent fall of the empire 100 years later. They made the same album in both Swedish and English, but the lyrics are not always the same - so it is basically 2 different albums with the same theme. Worth checking out in its entirety, in my opinion.
If you are interested, I suggest you look up the song order for the album and go nuts - but don't use the official Sabaton lyric videos if you are going to listen to the Swedish versions, as those lyrics are only in Swedish. Go for the videos made by "Piscator" instead.
Sabaton is also big on being historically accurate, so they also have a channel called "Sabaton History" in which historian Indy Nidell goes over the facts in an easy to understand format.
Oh so FINALLY they get you to listen to our beautiful Sabaton music :) I am so happy!
I hope you will listen to more of their music and go for a historic ride along with us ^^
Sabaton is touring the US this summer, so if you like a chance to hear them live, no time like the present.
we love them !!
this is just the best ever!!
I Whold recommend all Sabaton animated versions to watch they tell more of the story of the song.
En Livstid I Krig = A Lifetime In War.
There is a English version of this song too called A Lifetime Of War.
That guy on guitar you wanna check out. He is Tommy Johansson. He has his own youtube channel.
Im from Sweden and I was there for the recording of this. It was as epic as it sounds.
The arena is Scandinavium in gothenburg and I believe it was around 10-12000 ppl there.
Would love for you to react to some of their older stuff from Primo Victoria or Attero Dominatus.
Yes the showe is indoors filmed in Scandinavium Gothenburg a ishockey arena.
Metal fans are the happiest people, its true! There is a video about it 😎
Metal has always been cool!! Pop... not so much 😆
A future reaction should be Sabaton - Christmas Truce. Maybe closer to Christmas, but still. If you go for that one then please do not cut out the ending. Floor Jansen of Nightwish sings at the end.
Nice reaction, I was at this show (sitting somwhere in the middle of the platform to the left, from this view of the stage)
They had sold out the arena so we were 10 766 metalheads in the arena that night.
(Going by facts online and in the news paper after the show)
As other have said here, Sabaton sings about war history, the events that happend and the fate of people during that time.
The Carolus Rex album that this song is from is about a part of Swedish history called the era of great power (stormaktstiden in Swedish) from when Sweden was a much bigger nation with ambitions of expanding.
The album was released with both an Swedish and English version,the difference being that the Swedish one tells the story from our/a Swedish soldiers view while the English is more from an outsiders view of the war.
Needless to say, it was one hell of a show that night.
shold watch Sabaton Uprising in polen live. it was Sabatons Bigest croud ever around half a milion in crowd. the song uprising is about WW2 when german invaded poland so the song hit hard on that stage.
Nightwish Army Northern Germany greets the Sabaton family.
I love Sabaton, my favourite song is “The Last Stand”.🇸🇪🇸🇪
Fun thing this is one of the more chill songs.
I’m a huge Sabaton fan 🤟🏻 They write about historical wars. You must watch 1916 🔥
