![[Swedish Sensation] Sabaton - The Royal Guard Reaction, So Damn Good!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IjY8cUrw8ao/mqdefault.jpg)
I´m a Norwegian, but as most (all) Scandinavians we are proud of our history. We are proud over the swedes and the danish, witch we has fought against, and with for almost 500 years.
We may have fought in the past but I would say there is a lot of mutual respect between the Scandinavians. We have our differences but in a way we are basically the same people. Lots of respect and well wishes from Sweden!
@@MajinVegeto89 We ARE the same people, only small differences in the language.
As you are an US Marine Veteran you should definitely listen to Sabatons "Devil Dogs" (of course) and I also think you will appreciate "Purple Heart" and "To Hell and Back". Both very emotional songs. Maybe some more tears...
"To hell and back" is a very good choice!🤘 Pick the official music video! Great song, awesome video (again)... 😉
Sabaton 🤘🤘🤘
I'm a proud Swed 😊🇸🇪
🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Happy Birthday Livgardet 500 years !!! 1521- Present day - Still active under Sweden Defence Forces to this day
It was a song made to celebrate the 500 year anniversary of the Swedish royal guard (a military unit that has been in many battles). For me, it does not feel 100% sabaton but I personally think they made the song so you could sing it when matching, the Swedish version anyway.
I think they were going to collaborate with the Swedish military but Sabaton went to Crimea and played for friends of Putin so it would have been bad publicity for Sweden to get associated with Crimea and Putin with the ongoing war in Ukraine.
@@dusan9117 Yes, they played for a mc gang called Night wolves that has close ties with Putin. Sabaton don't take any side in any conflict but Sweden as a country could not support anything linked to the annexation of Crimea and war in Ukraine. I think Sweden did the right thing here
@@Nubbe999 as a Swede I agree. I respect that Sabaton doesn't wanf to take sides politically, but performing in actively occupied land will sort of do that for you.
@@Nubbe999 So attend Olympic's in China next year is Okey? Leave Music and sports out of politics and enjoy em I say 🤟
I was in the (Swedish) army over 20 years ago, but hearing this still riles me up.
If the King calls to arms, (which he cannot do, but still, would be awesome), I belive we could muster about
+ million people that shares the same mentality. If needed, Sweden..
The King can in fact do whatever he wants he is above the law and cannot be prosecuted or put in prison as long he is a protestant so he can go out and murder someone random. This law from 1808 is still in force . Crazy but true
Im Australia so no royalty maybe other then British royalty but isn't it the king is a face and the government makes all the decisions and are the only one's that can call for arms
As an Aussie, I recommend "Gallipoli" by Sabaton. 🇦🇺 FI-LO!.... 500 years of continuous service for the Swedish Royal Guard! Respect! Thank you for your service.
A proud Swede! 🤟🇸🇪🤟
I must say:
The thunder in the Background makes the ending of the Song feel even more Epic xD
I live just a mile from the current location of the Livgardet garrison in Kungsängen Sweden, they have really good exercise tracks for running (ie the military does not make them flat in any way shape or form :)) I have lots of good miles in those tracks.
A long time ago (like 30 years... omg time just flies) i was in the infantry when i did my 10 months of conscription (if that's the correct word, it was what google translate called it). I did not do it as a part of Livgardet but at another location, but at one point we spent 5 days as the Royal Guard (Högvakten in Swedish) and that was one day guarding at the Royal castle and at Drottningholm palace and then one day "off duty" that was spent in the Livgardet garrison
So yeah, this song brings back some meories...
I really want to go off and explore more of Sabaton, but I've decided to follow your reactions first and take the same journey.
More coming up very soon! I love Sabaton's journey! Glad you are taking it with me.
As someone, who is into Sabaton for a long(ish) time, i must say, his/your reactions are really nice
They definitely rocked the uniforms
Loved learning their connection to Nightwish by was of their drummer being married to Floor Jansen
2 amazing bands and hoping since we missed Nightwish to pandemic that October we'll get Sabaton in Vegas
Great reaction as usual! I'd say that you do your reactions as you want to do them. If you want to go in completely blind with a Sabaton song and learn more about the history afterwards, that's the way you should do it. :) In a way, Sabaton songs are a history lesson teaser, they give you just enough information to make you want to learn more. Which is amazing in of itself.
Since you've watched it now, here's a bit of history surrounding the song and the video.
This song is the English version of the song Livgardet that they released in february. Livgardet (The Royal Guard) is one of the oldest still active military units in the world, they have been guarding the Swedish monarchy for 500 years this year. I am fairly sure that this video is based on the Skirmish at Bender in the Ottoman empire in the year 1713 where the Swedish king Karl XII, men from his Royal Guard and Caroleans (the king's soldiers) faced an overwhelming Ottoman force. The skirmish near the king was a force of around 45 Swedish men against 600 Ottomans.
Karl XII had fled to the Ottoman Empire with his men after their defeat at Poltava in 1709 and was welcome as royal guests by the Sultan. They stayed there for 5 years and the visit became quite costly for the Ottoman Empire and gave the King a lot of enemies within the empire who wanted them gone. In the end, an army was sent to force them out. The Royal Guard and the soldiers had fortified the complex that held the home of the King and his whole entourage. They fought well and managed to push the enemies back, even with the entire complex set ablaze. One man in the Royal Guard saved the King's life three times during the battle according to the stories of the battle.
But in the end, the King was captured when he tripped and fell and everyone still alive was taken prisoner. They were held for a while before being released and they could make their way back to Sweden.
The Skirmish is known in Sweden as Kalabaliken i Bender and gave Sweden a new loanword, "Kalabalik". The word means confusion or chaotic event in Swedish but it is a Turkish word meaning large crowd. The music for this song it from the best know hymn in Sweden but is originally a Danish hymn.
you should listen to the Swedish variant called "Livgardet"
and you said that you look at the stories behind with such a thought is that you cut your video so you come back with thoughts when you have seen the background and your thoughts there (a little longer video but may be interesting to hear your opinion after that)
Its violent, but like you say, war is hell, and I can appreciate they are acting, but it's meant to hit you between the eyes. I have learned more about history from Sabaton than school ever taught me. Seeing them life was on my bucket list and I can tick it off now. 😍🥰
This is made on a christmas hymn
As a swedish person... I would lay down my life to my king
Thank you for your service mate, I am a supporter of our British Armed Forces especially our wounded heroes and our Veterans. I had family serving with our British Armed Forces during WW2 in the British Army and the Royal Air Force. One of my heroes is my 2nd cousin who was shot down and killed in Italy where he is buried in a British military cemetery. Anyone from any country that puts on a uniform and fights for freedom, democracy and justice is and will always be a hero of mine. God bless all men and women who serve and fight for good. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
"Livgardet" is one of the oldest still active military units in the world and was founded 1721.... we celebrated them this year, im from sweden and love history and Sabaton for teaching me about a lot of it and made read more about it... the name Sabaton is f.y.i the name of the scale armor knights hade above there feet :) and once again... i love your reaction videos... they are so honest and not practiced.... keep doing what you do.. (sorry for the spelling.. im a swede and i just write as it sounds haha ) :)

SABATON🔥🤘
ALWAYS GREAT💕
I'm not sure if you have done these but if you haven't reacted to them then I can recommend "Fields of Verdon" (official video), and Attack of the dead men (official video). The attack of the dead men, also have a great live version but start with the official video.
Pleace react to Sabaton. Into the fire.About the Vietnam War. 🤟
You're right. All their videos are seriously expensive to make.
The swedish version is the same song (roughly,) but the video is actually a continuation of the story from this video. So you should go watch that too.
Hello!! Really nice channel. Keep feeding us with nice reactions. If you have time, you should check out Amon Amarth-Way of the Vikings for more Swedish rock! Best regards from Sweden
Few more amazong music videos are "Uprising" and "Fields of Verdun"
Really enjoy your Sabaton reactions!
Please react to Sabaton "To Hell and Back"
Have you seen Sabaton's Screaming Eagles?
Have a look and see what you think about it.

I hope to continue to see you in the comments. And as always much love and positive ways sent your way.
Nice vid. try out Ghost division and the sabaton historie of ghost division.
Regards from Denmark
i bet it was
Is it supposed to be Bender?
Yep. 14 000 Ottoman Janissarys sent to capture the Swedish king vs 300 chosen Swedes. The rest of the Swedish forces were ordered to stand down so the wouldn't be needlessly sacrificed. But as the Swedish king couldn't just surrender, there had to be a symbolic resistance. If remember the numbers correctly. The kings house wasn't that fancy, though.
the movie looks like the "kalabalik" in Bender?
That's right. This is most likely a depiction of the skirmish at Bender.
Sweden vs Russia a long time ago
Turks actually. But we had some discussions with Russians too. And Danes, Norwegians, Saxons, Poles, Brandenburgians (Preussians), Hannoverians and some naval encounters with the British. Good times... Good times... LOL.
Hi I'm new to your channel and I think this is the first time I ever left a comment... I like reaction videos and came across this one. I like sabayon and your other reactions. Now, for this one... they sing about livgardet, which is a long lived service in the Swedish army which I think was created to protect the royalty. Don/t quote me on the original intent but it's a cavalry and I did serve as a guard back in year 2000. Our main objective was to protect royal family, people in the government and buildings of interest (classified as under national interest). However times change and I don't know what they do anymore... We did have to polish up and look pretty for the tourists (but the weapons are old but sharply loaded) and we had fully working teams (Was a machine gunner actually). This CZcams clip was pretty accurate for my days: czcams.com/video/_VOndXHb2mk/video.html
Sorry for auto-correct.. Sabaton of course! :D Great music! Also forgot to mention, yes they made me learn how to ride a horse in the middle of the city with one hand and a sword in the other.....
oh and sorry for spam but this is a cover of psalm 21 FYI.... czcams.com/video/_kp2BbFRkdo/video.html
at that time... Swedish soldiers were the best in the world...
