    It was worth the wait. But I thought you would pick up on the Hammersmith sign on the bus in the start though. And the guy holding the picture of Lemmy is Eddie Rocha, he was the tour manager of Motörhead, and now he is the tour manager of Sabaton. Nice work and have a great weekend now. All the best from Sweden.

    RIP Lemmy 🙏
    You can't go wrong with Sabaton. If you want another live action video, I'd suggest Christmas Truce. If you want an animated video, I'd suggest No Bullets Fly.
    One thing I guarantee, when you watch a Sabaton video, it's as much about the history as it is about the music. You'll gain new perspectives on war and humanity.
    Cheers!

    A few things to point out here. The bus at the start is a reference to the live album No Sleep Til Hammersmith with Motörhead.
    The 2 guys standing in the door opeing at 6:15 are Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell, the drummer and the guitarist of Motörhead.
    The guy holding Lemmy's picture is Eddie Rocha who was the tour manager for Motörhead and the current one for Sabaton.

    I did some researching and found that all the names of the soldiers, knights and Spartans in the end were real people. Many of the soldiers were Medal of Honor, Silver Star, Victoria Cross or Croix de Guerre recipients.
    The soldier pulling himself out of the mud, at first I thought he was a member of "The Smoking Snakes" (Força Expedicionária Brasileira, FEB, nicknamed Cobras Fumantes), but doing some more research with the patch on his shoulder as well as his helmet, that's Sgt Henry Johnson of the 15th New York National Guard Regiment, aka "The Harlem Hellfighters". Medal of Honor recipient and recipient of French Croix de Guerre avec Palme, France's highest award for valor. The Medal of Honor was awarded to him in 2015.
    Sgt. Henry Johnson is "one of the five bravest American soldiers in the war."
    Theodore Roosevelt Jr. in his book "Rank and File: True Stories of the Great War"
    The Asian soldier with the cocked-hat, that's a Nepalese Gurka named Havildar Gurung (per the credits) who earn the Victoria Cross in the Burma campaign off WWII.
    Sgt Awal Nur, who did a secret mission over the Himalaya.
    Lt. Audie Murphy, Sgt. Alvin York are both medal of honor recipients from WWI (York) and WWII (Murphy).
    I also notice a soldier with the Croix Lorraine on what looks like a French flag arm band, meaning he was a member of the 'Forces françaises libres' forces in WWII.
    Doing some reading I found out that a large number of French colonial troops from territories such as Chad had joined with the 'Forces françaises libres'. I suspect that soldier is Lt Comba, but I can't find anything on him.
    As I've been working my way through the names listed in the credits and found another one: Private George Stringer, Manchester, Awarded the Victoria Cross at the Battle of Es Sinn in Mesopotamia.
    Capt. Dobson, 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion, Killed on 9 July 1916 in Flanders.

      Manchester....
      Not relevant but we all know the song was originally about the horrific WW1 decisions such as the "Brothers Brigades" - entire streets in Manchester lost all their sons, brothers, fathers, there was barely anywhere untouched.
      Except my maternal Grandfather and all four of his brothers went to the front lines and unbelievably they all came back, relatively unharmed. This just did not happen, the Northern towns especially were decimated, but those that did come back were treated as somehow lacking so it was all just sweet under the carpet. Not "respectable" 🙄.
      And he died when I was tiny, I only just remember him. I thought he never spoke of the war but according to my father, it was all he ever DID speak about. His wife died very young and he lived with the Aunts in this fractionally tiny, safe world he made for himself - he worked, came home, and spent all his leisure time reading a dictionary; safe, contained, ordered. It became common practice amongst the burgeoning middle-classes of the time to treat the whole thing as slightly unpleasant so unless he was in the company of other men - rarely - it was all trapped inside. The Aunts (his sisters) were a formidable force of the particular class structures of the time and this small, personal tragedy was repeated ad nauseum across the whole country.
      So sad. 1916 kills me but we need to keep these stories alive.

    16 year olds lied about their age to join the army, the British needed bodies, so they didn't look too closely. The youngest soldier in WW I ,that we know of, was 12 years old. Tina Guo played the cello over the end credits, she has worked with Sabaton several times.
    Next? Try the animated story video for "Night Witches" or "No Bullets Fly"

    You might be also be interested in checking out a Sabaton History channel episode for this song: 1916 - The History of Motörhead - Sabaton History 120 [Official] ua-cam.com/video/eW5P6Z_4soQ/v-deo.htmlsi=4wwJRJ6jiP5i_mlF
    In it they give a (brief) history of the band and Lemmy. Then the Sabaton singer/songwriter Joakim talks about stuff like how he met Lemmy for the first time...
    Actually they have 3 history episodes to do with this song:
    1916 Pt. 2 - Child soldiers of WW1 - Sabaton History 121 [Official] ua-cam.com/video/5fEzO4xOLIw/v-deo.htmlsi=WYRumMepzQwa2Xcn
    1916 Pt. 3 - The Battle of the Somme - Sabaton History 122 [Official] ua-cam.com/video/onxpDKutG2A/v-deo.htmlsi=ik0-vmJgA_DlPf-n
    - Sabaton History is a separate youtube channel (they also have a "band focused" youtube for the music, vlogs etc.) that has at least 1 episode per history based song to tell the story behind a specific song. They almost caught up with the episodes (only a few for the last album are not yet out) and they are currently making new music, which means more of them... the channel started in january/february 2019 and currently has 126 episodes. They also have more episodes for the "history of heavy metal", like the Motörhead one mentioned above.
    The channel has several real historians working on it and Joakim & Pär (the only original members, Joakim handles the music, Pär the management & both do research and write the lyrics) from Sabaton are producing it and one of them is in every episode to talk about the Sabaton stories to do with that song. Historian Indy Neidell does a great job telling the history parts.

Means a lot to me, as did the original. It was the gas from 1916 which finally got him - about 100 years later! He had so many stories.... H.

    A lot of people have recommended songs, so I won't add to that, but just let you know if there is an ANIMATED STORY video, this is the one you should watch first, like for No Bullets Fly, Night Witches, The Red Baron, etc. Sabaton also have a history channel, which provides more background information. En Livstid I Krig should, however, always be watched in the live at Gothenburg version and your first contact with Swedish Pagans should be live at Wacken festival 2019.

    their choice to show soldiers from all time reminds me of a line from another song about WWI titled "Green Fields of France". The last stanza is about how all these men died because they were told that this war would be the last, that they had a chance to end war for good.
    "Ah young Willie McBride, I can't help wonder why
    Do those that lie here know why did they die?
    And did they believe when they answered the cause
    Did they really believe that this war would end wars?
    Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain
    The killing and dying, were all done in vain
    For young Willie McBride, it all happened again
    And again, and again, and again, and again"

    The Somme is considered one of the bloodiest battles. The British lost upwards of 300k, and the Germans lost well over 500k. Both my great-grandfathers were at the Somme; one was killed, and the other was wounded, losing his left eye. Back then, they were expected to stay for years, as long as high command said so. Some soldiers did get compassionate leave, but that's about it. I served with the British Army (Royal Tank Regiment). Our emblem is Big Willie, the first main battle tank, and our motto is "Fear Naught." Deployments now are nowhere near what the guys endured during WW1. My longest deployment was 7 months in Afghanistan, then I did a second tour with slightly less time. You are absolutely correct.

  • @cuff02
    @cuff02 7 місяців тому +2

    Sorry - I'm going to history nerd for a little bit - but for an added bit of historical context;
    The quotes regarding an entire generation of young men from towns and villages being wiped out is no exaggeration. They come from “Pals” battalions, a recruitment incentive introduced at the start of the war to encourage young men from a local area to all sign up together so they could be placed in the same unit and fight together, side by side. An extremely tragic, unrealised-at-the-time consequence being that when one of these battalions went into action and suffered horrendous casualties, as any attacking unit in trench warfare would, then an entire town or village would then have seen all of its young men die. A tragedy of war. In terms of the human cost at least, the First World War was far more devastating to Britain than the Second. There really wasn't a single family in the country that didn't suffer at least one family member killed.

    Hello my friend!!!...No one better than you, to make a reaction video and analyze this incredible singer, with an stunning range voice, who is leaving all the experts, literally with their jaws on the floor (Do you remember Jim Carrey's movie "The Mask"? well, just like that)...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"... In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"...Since then all this madness began on the internet, UA-cam and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet!!... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano...You can see in UA-cam to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true!!...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages...In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide... Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you!!!...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers!...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html
