No one teaches history better than Sabaton. The raw human experience of those who went through great events are always conveyed in their works. Here in the middle of insanity men found their humanity at least for a little while. The song salutes the Holiday season but also is a tribute to the fallen in every war and 11/11 is upon us. A time as a vet that I recall fallen buddies who are at rest now but never made it home for any future holidays. May they rest in their peace while the rest of us continue the insanity while we search for out humanity. Beautiful and powerful video as always and a great song with lines that will roll around in your head for the weeks to come. Sadly there was never another truce as the Generals made sure of it and the War carried on for another 4 long years.
Yo Night Wish, first off thank you for your service. My parents were in the Vietnam war. Also thank you on the heads up on the details. Thank you for coming through and much respect.
@@sacjuggalo When you do get into Nightwish... Prepare for an invasion of the Nightwish Army... I dare to say that rabbit hole is even bigger than this one... 😄🤘 "Ghost Love Score" (official live video, Wacken, 2013) is a good start!
@@sacjuggalo Nightwish is a great band to check out. They're a Finnish band with a Dutch singer, Floor Jansen. You heard her in the ending credits of this Sabaton video (she's married to Sabaton's drummer). She has one of the best female voices in metal today. Nightwish is very diverse, none of their songs are alike. There are epic and melodic songs, but they can also go really heavy on you and the next song could be very celtic sounding or even jazzy. Their music is exceptionally well composed and arranged. The lyrics are very powerful and poetic, which leads to great storytelling. Nightwish is best appreciated LIVE. As was mentioned before, the video of 'Ghost Love Score', live at Wacken 2013, is a great one to start with. It was recorded live in front of 82 000 people. Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/v-deo.html Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thanks for letting the end credits roll, dude! Give credit for all the trench builders. Symbolic blowing up of the piano. No more truce after that Christmas. This will be the next #1 Christmas song from now!
My understanding; the Napoleonic wars had shattered the Holy Roman Empire. Otto Von Bismarck's new German nation was on a roll, but as he predicted, almost to the day, some damn fool thing in the Balkans will kick off in 20 years. Archduke shot, war starts, nobody really realized how epic it would get. So first Christmas you still had a large population that were open to "This is insane. Can we take a time out?"
And they expected the war to be over by Christmas 1914 with either Berlin falling or Paris falling. But little did they know that a few dispositined troops by the Germans would create this stalemate between both sides and all they could do is dig and dig and dig.
Welcome to the world of sabaton. And joakim said it best in a video when he brought like an 8 year old on stage for the finale. Proof that everyone is a metalhead!
Some cool Battle between the bands (Sabaton style) Sabaton - 82nd all the way Amaranthe - 82nd all the way Sabaton - Carolus Rex Follow the Cipher - Carolus Rex Manowar - Kingdom Come Sabaton - Kingdom Come Amon Amarth - Twighlight of the thundergod Sabaton - Twighlight of the tundergo
The truce happened in different pockets (some big some small) all up and down the western front. Fun fact I do know of at least one actual organized soccer game between the German and (I believe) British troops that ended with the Germans winning 2-1.
Yo Jim, thank you for that inside story. This is one of my faves from Sabaton and can't wait get to more of their work. Thank you for coming through and much respect.
Holy crap, you're reaction to other genres again? I remember when you first reacted to Sabaton back in the day. Before all of the copywrite scare stuff with your livestreams.
Yo Kevin, great to see you bro! I can do recorded videos of copyright music now. I just can't do them on the live. I will have more out soon bro. Nightwish on the list next! Thanks for coming through bro. Much respect!
@@sacjuggalo Here's a couple cool songs for you. Besides metal, I'm also a huge fan of electronic and folk music (especially Russian folk), so I've included some of that below. Front Line Assembly - Arbeit Electro Synthetic Rebellion - Post-Industrial Grai - Ashes Сколот - Последняя сеча (this is my favorite folk song of all time)
Great Reaction, for more on this topic there is a decent movie (2005) "Joyeux Noel" (Merry Christmas) shows the German, French & British (well a Scottish unit) , sadly when word of these events got out many units were punished and relocated to other sections of the line were the fighting was more savage. and then they made sure on holidays they would launch attacks and such. but the war took a turn and got more deadly esp once GAS started to be used in 1915 some soldier tried to repeat the event of 1914 but were shot .
Hey bro! I've got a couple of bands for you to check out, if you already haven't: 1. Unleash the Archers. They are a power metal band from Canada that is also award-winning, in that they won a Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for Abyss, their album from 2020. Here are my Top 5 tracks from Unleash the Archers: 1) Abyss 2) Tonight We Ride 3) The Wind That Shapes The Land 4) Soulbound 5) Awakening 2. Amaranthe. They are a band from Sweden, like Sabaton. They have an eclectic mix of styles, and have three singers. Here are my Top 5 tracks from Amaranthe: 1) Digital World 2) BOOM! 3) 82nd All the Way (cover of Sabaton's song by the same name) 4) GG6 5) Viral And, more Sabaton tracks to check out: 1) Night Witches 2) When No Bullets Fly 3) Defense of Moscow 4) Bismarck 5) 40:1 (Live at Woodstock 2012)
Coming together at Christmas would be beautiful. But as long as some people get offended by being wished a Happy Holiday (to include every believer and non believer), it seams like a big task to achieve. But never give up on humanity! Much Love 💙💛💙

But never give up on humanity!
Much Love 💙💛💙
Yo DS, thank you for coming through and thank you for your comment. We have a lot of work to do, but I think the majority can do it. Much love!
You paused way too much. It's ok to talk over the video.
Yo Collin, thank you bro. Much respect!
Rather that he pauses and talks, if you wanna hear the song, I suggest you go listen to it.
Great reaction brother. Subscribed.
Appreciate that
