- I finally check out what I've heard is Joakim's least favorite of their songs, and I don't get it... THIS SONG SLAMS! And adding a cello and 4 old band members to the mix? This may be one of the best Sabaton crowd interaction songs I've heard so far.

![Swedish Pagans - Vikings & The Russ - Sabaton History 099 [Official]](/img/n.gif)
There's only one logical step now: you have to listen to "To hell and back" as Joakim went on record to say that's his favourite song to perform
Beyond the Black does an interesting acoustic version the song.
NO! There is TWO logical steps now: You have to listen also Moonsorrow - Suden Tunti because it features FENRIR!
All I can do is AGREE!!!
Or to Primo Victoria performed by Van Canto which is a Sabaton song played by a Metal acapella band
@@ursmetzger Sounds wierd as shit but... Okay.
The story behind the bit before Swedish Pagans: Somewhere around 2012-2013 they were playing a show and on that tour the song was not part of the setlist. The audience started to sing the melody of Swedish Pagans during the show which wouldn't have been a problem but Thobbe Englund started playing the melody on guitar and Joakim got a little mad. He angrily asked Thobbe what the fuck he was doing as the song was not on the setlist to which Thobbe just replied that it's a good song. Not sure if they played it or not but afterwards they found the whole incident funny and decided to keep doing that in the future.
Joakim stated in an interview that he doesn't hate the song but thinks they have better songs he'd rather play but because the audience wants it, they play it. It was good when they first recorded it but it has slowly lost its magic for him.
Also the song was only a bonus track when they re-released the album Art of War and is not about military history but rather about Scandinavian mythology. The band never thought the fans would get into the song so when they actually started to sing that during the shows they were really surprised.
Also about Thobbe's gear during this show, from what I've seen he seems to be using either a Line6 Relay G10 or Sennheiser XSW-D wireless which is odd because, well, Wacken... huge stage... under $350 wireless system... yeah... I'm sure I saw the type of wireless transmitter both of those units use on his guitar.
Also, do Panzerkampf (about Germanys oh so successful invasion of USSR in 1943), Talvisota ("Winter war" in English, Finland vs USSR in 1939-1940) or White Death (Best sniper of all time, Simo Häyhä, with over 500 kills during the Winter war (which lasted only 4 months)
Sabaton just uploaded a Wacken video of Panzerkampf today, after your comment. There's some fate for you...
@@lyman6 I have the power of clairvoyance it seems
Wasn’t it on the Sabaton Cruise?
What a great load of information! These are the types of comments that should be winning awards. Hahaha
And yeah, a festival like Wacken, you’d better have the best wireless transition you can get. It seems like Thobbe was never of fan of fancy high end shit. Just give him the stuff that gets the job done and he’s happy. Haha
@@TankTheTech wooo. My favorite version of this song (soo far)
Tina is a sweetheart ! Maybe it's not your cup of tea, but if you'd like to learn more about the gear She uses, here is a little video for you. (Also plays a bit)
ua-cam.com/video/SesBbg06UXk/v-deo.html
Thanks & Enjoy! 😀
This is Sabaton's "'the crowd will riot if we don't play it" song, everybody is going crazy during it. Swedish Pagans is the song we all wait for the band to play and would be disappointed if they don't. Last year in Paris, we sang it while waiting for the band to come on stage, it's always a special feeling when everybody in a crowd is singing all together. I really miss this. I don't think Joakim hates the song, it's more of a joke than anything else. I could be wrong of course! ^^'
Great video again, it doesn't feel like it lasts 19 minutes at all. Can't wait to see what song you're gonna do next week and I'm happy you aren't stopping the Sabaton Satursdays yet!
yeah, I also don't think Joakim ever hated the song. It is just another crowd-interaction thing Sabaton does and I love it.
Was there too, it was great!
Well he is, more or less, tired of it because Sabaton Cruise 😬
Ca 20 times or so chanting on board the ship, before every song and pauses. And no where to escape 😅.
Even in the harbour.
It is there where everything started.
He once called us ”Era jävla barbarer!” (Your fucking barbarians) 😁.
I honestly can’t believe I turned a 5 minute video into a 19 minute reaction. Hahahaha
@@TankTheTech ...and yet the best to come. Seven Pillars of Wisdom...Annoying? Naah, not me :-)
Tank wasn't sure which Sabaton song to do next... AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED.
It is a must to hear this great song that has produced the greatest amount and the best Sabaton memes we all love
Swedish pagans arrived before the winged hussars 🙂
Sabaton's relationship with this song is pretty crazy. They didn't expect it to be a hit, so they released it as a bonus track. But at one of their shows, much to the band's surprise, the entire crowd started chanting it. So they performed it. The part about Joakim hating has become a bit at this point. But I'm not sure if he hated it in the beginning.
POV: you are a Bengali metalhead
My favorite pre song banter for Swedish Pagans was from their show in Nantes, France in 2015. Quoth Joakim, “I’m in trouble now. I know what happens in France when you people don’t get democracy. You start chopping people’s heads off for fuck’s sake! So if you agree to spare my life, we’re going to play you this song.”
(Edit: When you get to Carolus Rex, the official live video was shot in the band’s hometown of Falun, and thus sung in Swedish. Much like the concert video for En Livstid i Krig, there are subtitles/ captions available in English. I think it was part of Sabaton Open Air, but don’t quote me on that part.)
Hahahahaha
That one is even better in my opinion. ua-cam.com/video/bER2WCejono/v-deo.html From 15m20s. They are in Russia in 2016, Tommy is new to a band, and Joakim let him pick any Sabaton song he want to play it. Crowd start crying "Hill" for Hill 3234, but Joakim says to crowd "No, no, no. He have to choose not you. You don't have a f**ing democracy here". ROFL.
Sabaton doesn't *do* seats if they can help it. They will do standing only. Swedish Pagans will get you going, but if you want one that is going to just drive the whole crowd's energy up? Primo Victoria will do it. Such a killer song, and there's a killer acappella version as well. This was a fun video, and i'm looking forward to seeing more of your journey with this band.
I feel like getting out of your seat is more of a figure of speech, but I have been to a show where there was seating in the back of the venue. Not sure if they stood for the song cause I was on the barricade. 😅
Primo Victoria and Hell and Back have so much energy.
Also The last stand and the Winged Hussars
But if you do Primo Victoria, pleas do not take the "Remade" video. They released around the time they made the "Bismarck" Video and teamed up with wargames. Primo Victory is one of their biggest songs, maybe even their breakthrough, it is about the Operation overlord, the allies invasion in France. And as Wargaming has a game called "World of tanks" an Sabaton even have their signature tank in it they teamed up again but if you ask me, they choose the wrong song (and the sound effects and the production are not too good as well). Panzer Bataillon or Ghost Division would have been the way better choice.
Call me a heretic, but I get even more out of a concert if I'm in a seat. The bass line causes the seat back to vibrate, which vibrates through my chest at double intensity.
You can't get that from anything other than a concert. That's why watching live performance recordings are usually less interesting to me. You only hear the music instead of experiencing it.
One of the really great Sabaton songs that is not often reacted to: The last stand.
It is about "Il sacco di Roma" and how the swiss guard rescued the pope
it is always refreshing to see people listen to the lyrics of this particular song, and not just 'hurr durr crusades deus vault!' So thank you!
Last Stand is one of my favourite Sabaton songs.
“The Last Stand”was the first song that I heard from Sabaton, and now I am a huge fan.
You are ready for "Brothers of metal". The entire band is Viking themed and all their song is about norsemythology and vikings.... And they are 8 in the band.
They are really fun. And for a Sabaton connection: Sabaton tends to have them playin nt Sabatn open air festival.... The biggest word to take away from this is : FUN :)
And yeah...also....AVATAR!!!! ;)
I've heard the Brothers of Metal name, but I think you're the first person that's actually described what they're about, and NOW I'm super interested. 🤘
@@TankTheTech Brothers Of Metal's newest album "Emblas Saga" was my fave of 2020. Definitely check them out if you can, they are amazing!
@@TankTheTech they come from the same city as Sabaton ...Falun!.. and they do not take them selv seriously, but they do with the music. ;)
@@TankTheTech Their song Chainbreaker is really good, the just released it actually
@@TankTheTech Amon Armath is also a lot like that. Check them out!
I Hope to meet you one day in Wacken. Then we'll greet with " Let's goooooo!"
🤘🤘🤘 Yes!!!
Tina Guo and Sabaton are a perfect match!
When I saw them live in NYC a couple of years ago, people literally sat on the floor and started rowing in rhythm while chanting. Blew my mind. My ears stopped ringing two days later. My voice came back on the third day. The amount of energy they impart their audience is UNREAL.
It’s 100% a bit cause they do it at pretty much every show. 😂 I believe Joakim said in an interview that it’s not that he hates Swedish Pagans, but rather there are better songs in their catalog so it’s kinds of repetitious at this point.
I remember this concert, my dad and I had to watch it from the very entrance of the infield and my feet were completely numb at the end of the night. But it's one of my favorite memories I have with my father and I'm so glad that this part of the concert is on UA-cam.
Just a comment on the berzerker thing. The word in swedish is "bärsärk" which is the two words "bär" (older word for bear. We say björn now) and "särk" (a kind of shirtlike undergarment) joined. So, it´s sort of meaning that you clothe yourself with the form (and really bad mood) of an angry bear. Legend has it that some dudes would eat a certain kind of poisonous mushroom to get in that state. Cheers!
I heard it wasn't actually a mushroom, but a smoke they inhaled.
Now you're ready for Metal Machine and Metal Crue, both songs a tribute to METAL!
🤘🤘
SWEDISH TAAAAAAAABLES!
ARRANGED AT THE STORE!
YOUR LOST IN IKEA,
BY THE WILL OF SIR THOR!
OUT OF AAAAAAAAAAASGARD!
OUR TABLETOP SAILS,
NEVER TO BE RETURNED AGAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I'm here as a Berserker 'descendant'! Let me explain: In 1984 I saw Gary Numan at the Bristol Hippodrome during his UK Berserker Tour: in 2019 I was checking out my old music interests, including Numan/Tubeway Army on UA-cam. Knowing he had released work under the Dark Wonders label I haphazardly typed that into the search engine. Nightwish's Dark Chest of Wonders did indeed appear but Storytime got me and Floor's married to Hannes etc. The rest, as they say, is (military) history!
Great reaction Tank, as always, very enjoyable. A bit clarification about the norse mythology - Fenris is the giant wolf, who's son will devourer the sun. They manage to capture him with the magic chain Gleipne, but first after one of the gods (Tyr) put his arm into his jaws as ensurance. When Fenris realized he was captured, he bit the arm off. The serpent is Jormundgand, and is actually a sibling to Fenris. Its so big so it reach around the whole world and bites itself in its tail. At the end of days, Thor will slay the serpent, but drops dead nine steps later, poisoned by the serpent.
Fun note - on most of the runestones in Sweden, the runes are always drawn inside the serpent, that are hold in place by ingraved knots.
Looking forward to next saturday :)
I think you have one one the most honest reaction channels on youtube, keep up the good work ! Sabaton is one of the bands that are the first performing in the new "culture house" in my hometown of Skelleftea in 2022 and ofcourse I have a ticket.
Thanks a ton!
Alot of Thier songs makes you puff the chest out, take on all comers and feel indestructible, love it
I was so happy to get a ticket for Wacken 2019. It was a blast.
There are so many good Sabaton songs you can’t go wrong with what ever you choose. And I for one will come back do each and everyone of them.
🤘🤘🤘
Hello Tank my name is Mikael/Michael and i am an artist/painter from Stockholm Sweden.I love how you tell the history in the Sabaton songs and explaine for the Word abaout Swedish history Sweden was the biggest country in the past in Europé.And all the Wars against Russia and Germany/Preussen and we fight back the Katholics to the soth of Europé With the army biggest and best warmachine ever.I must say that you are the best of all WHO gives reactions of Sabaton.Best regards Mikael
Wiki: The Old Norse form of the word was berserkr (plural berserkir). It likely means "bear-shirt" (compare the Middle English word serk, meaning shirt), "someone who wears a coat made out of a bear's skin"
The intro is probably the CATCHIEST of Sabaton melodies. For example, I’ll randomly start humming the melody at home and my fiancé will hear me and then it gets stuck in her head for HOURS. 😂🤘🏻
Also, when I saw them live in NYC, the entire pit STOPPED, and dropped to the floor and started rowing like they were rowing a viking ship (I’m sure you’ve seen that before in the pits). It was an incredible experience.
And I just did it to her now at the grocery store. 😂🤘🏻
But catchy intro is all that the song has. Without that catchy intro nobody would really care about the song.
Finally Sabatime! SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM!!! COME ON! ...epic as ever!
She was in Hamburg on the Street performing the week leading up to WACKEN
Important FYI Tank: Sabaton are releasing a new single on the 26'th of February! (a Friday, so unsure if you'll have time to make a video of that for Saturday)
It'll be in Swedish and called "Livgardet", and is about the Royal Guard which was founded 1521 (so exactly 500 years ago) by arguably the most iconic Swedish King, Gustav Vasa.
I saw Joakim say in an interview once that he doesn't hate the song but that he is getting tired of it, which is totally fair.
Very fair.
TankTheTech: Berserkers typically ate shrooms before going into combat and that's how they could sustain that much energy, fearlessness and strength. Many instances in recorded history where the Vikings had to push through odds they normally wouldn't succeed in doing used drugged up Berserkers.
There's a direct connection through the threads of history between modern video games' depiction of mushrooms (make you giant, give you extra endurance, ingredients for healing potions, etc.) and them real life historically just being straight up Viking drugs. XD
The Filipinos also had a berserker type of warriors known as “juramentados” (which literally means “berserk”)... they fought with such tenacity that it that the Americans believed they were taking psychotropic drugs before going to battle.
It's the song that everyone songs in the hallways after the show when you have to go home. The atmosphere it creates it just amazing and you really feel that you're with a big metal family 😊
"Tank error/correction" made me kind of giggle. thank you for the work you put into your video's mate! much appreciated
Dude, the beard is reaching Odin level epicness. And thanks for going on the Sabaton journey. I’ve been along for the ride, and love everything I am discovering!
Stay with Swedish history and do Carolus Rex next, aaaaaamazing song
OMG YAY!
Been hoping for this review for so long!
Thank youuuu Tank! 🤘😎🤘
Sundstrom.. is my fav member of Sabaton! Dude is always smiling! And such a cool dude!
There is a old brew that the viking wisemen sometimes made and gave warriors before they sailed off. It contained a bit of hallucenogenic herbs aswell as a (highly dangerous) prepared dose of Spotted Toadstool (extremely poisonous nerve-affecting shroom), and if the mix was right, then the hallucinogenics would heighten thier bloodlust while the nerve-affecting agents of the toadstool would work as a pain nullifier. Meaning wounds that caused enough pain (if not raw damage) to lay low any man, had no effect on them. For 15-30 minutes the only way to stop these drugfueled butchers would've been to cause enough bloodloss or direkt hit to brain or heart. It had a decent chance to missfire due to varying dosage of the toadstool in the brew, quite often leading the berserkers to succumb to the toxin after the raid, usually within 2-3h of imbibement.
Damn man, I really appreciate how much time you put into research for your videos
Thank you!
Tank, dude, why do you even *bother* starting a Sabaton reaction with a hat on? You know they always head-bang hard.
He doesn't hate it. In fact, he never anticipated it would be this popular. And the whole banter thing is part of the act for this song.
Fun (and kind of wiki-) fact. Bezerk, from old norse, to modern swedenavish, translates to bear-robe. Mythology tells that these guys where werebears. Other dudes where wereboars or wolves.
Historians seem to think that most likely they were really hopped up on PCP-shrooms and mead, stripped nekkid and went all in. Blood for the blood god and so on.
Just wish we had some more stuff written down from those days, but when the jarl sets sail, there's no time for school...
My mother's parents were both full blooded Swedes 1-2 generations removed from Sweden. A relative has traced my grandmother's side of the family back to the 1600's in Kristdala. We still have cousins that live there. My grandfather's side of the family I'm not as sure of, but I do know his family is from further north in Sweden. So, while I may have a stronger claim to being a descendant of a berserker than some of those that have told you that they are, I'm not going to claim I am. However, with my temper, I wouldn't doubt it. It's like a blind rage that borders on being possessed.
That being said I love your reactions. I love how you see things from the production side of the music. Not many people reacting see things from that perspective in the same way you do.
I remember being there, it was a blast.
But something more interesting, Tina Guo had a meet and greet the next day in the morning where I went. I can't remember everything, well I was pretty hung over and it was like 10 in the morning. There she told, that the gig with Sabaton and Beyond the Black with she played on that day was pretty spontaneous. She had like only a few days to learn the songs, to match the choreography of the band and they didn't even had time to rehearse any of this.
She watched a ton of live recordings, either official or smartphone recorded, to learn the stageplay as quickly as possible.
Your beard passed the Viking appearance test bro
It's a great song and the crowd always go crazy when they play it live . It's so much fun 🤘😁
One song, that sabaton never played live, but it just won the sabaton most underrated song contest is "The last Battle"... the story is amzing, the song is amzing... it is the really best song of sabaton... pls give it a chance....
As always, a really good reaction, wee need a whole sabaton week to cover my regular portion of tank reacts to sabaton!!!
I was somewhere in this crowd, and it was SO awesome... And I feel you - I miss this too 🖤
Swedish Pagans is one of my favorite Sabaton songs... Even got the inspiration for my first tattoo out of it. "FENRIR HOWLS". 😁🤘🏻
God how I miss Sabaton Saturday!
Haven’t watched it yet but so damn excited for this! 😁
watched this show yesterday for about 20th time, choked up for the 20th time at the same time as you (:
I think you should do Cliffs of Gallipoli next. Honestly I think the studio version of the song is actually better than any live performance I've seen, and that's because I believe that the song was released right around when they lost their keyboard player, so most live performances of it don't have the keyboard, which is *integral* to Cliffs of Gallipoli. It's honestly one of their best songs imo, def top 3-4.
My favorite Sabaton song, except all other songs from Sabaton
The word Berserk comes from Björn Särk in modern Swedish (In Icelandic it's Bjerna särkur witch probably is closer to the original Norse word) and refer to a shirt, today we would probably call it a dress because it would go down to just above the knee, made of bear skin. Some sources say that the berserker was wearing a bear pelt and nothing else because they thought the armour would slow them down. As always, a great reaction!
Sabaton also tells stories from the darker sides of history. You should check out "Inmate 4859." It tells the story of a Polish man who endured hell in Auschwitz just to bring attention to what was happening. The story is amazing, but ultimately very tragic. Consider this one for a future reaction.
I was there in the crowd. I will never forget this show. Ever. :)
One of my favorite Sabaton songs :P
They put in a specific herb/flower into the mead related to poppy family.Swedish word is Skvattram,u can find it near swamps etc .Small white flowers ,if u pick one u can feel an oily scent and it stings ur skin.Highly opiat !
sabaton is my most favorite band, you don't know how happy i was a few weeks ago when you said you were going to do a sabaton on saturday. Please do - primo victoria, shiroyama and the final solution
🤘🤘🤘
Saw them in St Louis back in August and they absolutely killed it.
Hey! There is a great song that Sabaton has called Angels Calling. Now, the rewrote the tempo as to record it with another band called Apocalyptica. This version is badass. It uses cellos and Sabaton in such a beautiful way that it makes me tear up all the time. Its jut extremely powerful!
Also ayyo? I see Powerwolf recommended there-
(Edit) HOW DARE SOMEONE DISLIKE YOUR VIDEO
No bullets fly . The animated story movie is very good and emotinal.
Tina´s shredding that chello like a boss!!
I think a song Par hate to play is Primo Victoria, I mean that song is The Sabaton song! And Par don't like play that song i think he says is boring to play but he knows is a Sabaton song that have to be in the setlist all nights, great reaction like always Tank 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Last two weeks, I told you about Red Baron and Swedish Pagans. I believe you did notice me. I also requested a lot of youtubers to do some reactions to 'Cliff of Galipoli' but failed again and again. It has music video and live performance. The song's about WW1 battle between Ottoman empire and British/France at the Galipoli. It is different from most Sabaton songs and gives final solution vibes.
I see everything. 😎
@@TankTheTech Good to know. I couldn't reply to you comment earlier cause my country is in Coup d'etat and the connections were cut off.
It was fun to see Tina.
yea you pretty much got it in one with the berserker thing, the way they used to fight is they did fight in armour or they fought in jsut a cloth or boots, but it was a person who got so crazed in the battle and wanting to fight they often ran screaming that the gods where with them and they would smash straight into the shield walls and terrify their enemies as they would get cut and struck with weapons but would shrug it off, there has been tales that they have carried on fighting even if a fatal blow has been giving due to the adrenaline corasing through there veins.....although most of the time they were incredibly drunk and off their face on drugs as most of the time the armies where before battles
That entire show is well worth watching, it really is a special show
Also I just want to add, Sabaton might not have official videos for a fair amount of songs, but they love the fan made videos. Joakim basically said something along the lines of, they did the hard work of making a video and it costs us nothing (there is an interview, I want to say on their official youtube page where they address fan made content)
Tank, man, you are a beauty! I love you are willing to get emotional on camera and talk about how this stuff hits you. These videos continue to be awesome! Sabaton is the best and I love that you are giving yourself a Sabaton education little by little.
Thank you so much, man!
In January last year, Sabaton were the last concert i visited before this shitty virus came. Oh god how i miss gigs...
My biggest "problem" with the lyrics of Swedish Pagans is that according to the lyrics the viking ship sails out from Asgard, but according to the mythology Asgard is actually the end of a viking's journey: To become an Einherjar and fight by the side of the gods during Ragnarök. Either way, it does little to diminish my liking for this kickass song. It still is among my favourites.
Also, nice and fitting choice of music for the outro. Amon Amarth's Way of the Viking, if I am not mistaken.
You got it!
@@TankTheTech Thanks.. also, if I may, I would like to recommend two songs to you:
Nightwish: Amaranth
Sabaton: Shiroyama
Berserker eat poison mushrooms to get crazy, not feeling pain and only anger. Remember that Vikings disentangle fear death in battle!
Still enjoying the gear talk , does not feel repetitive at all and overall been loving Sabaton Saturday's! Great work!
One of the reasons everyone loves it is because of the reaction they get out of Joakim.
I’m always fascinated by your knowledge of different gear and how to tell them all apart from quick cuts in these videos. Keep up the great work! I learn something new in every video!
Woohoohoo I loved this.
Thanks again.
Definitely still enjoying your Sabaton videos -- I love the facts that your bring up during your research and your enjoyment of the videos. I put a vote for Night Witches!
I'm stupid and didn't notice you already did night witches -- sorry.
I started my Sabaton adventure after seeing them live several years ago when they were touring with another band I listen to. Their stage presence had me instantly hooked and this song is just killer live! 🤘🏻
Tank, don't worry about repeating yourself when talking about gear and stuff, blame the band instead for using the same stuff every time😉.
Nah, for real tho, I don't mind listening to you more than once, also the gear-talk isn't the only thing that makes your reactions so great. Also, even if it sometimes feels repetitive to you, it isn't repetitive to people who might be visiting your channel for the first time! Just PLEASE keep doing what you do! Stay safe!
I was a that show, that live recording has part of the bit with Swedish Pagan cut. In between the arrival of Tina and her picking Swedish Pagans. You can see it in the "Sabaton - 3 Songs - Live at Wacken Open Air 2019" video at around 16:00.
Fun fact to add - "Berserker" translates to "Shirtless" ore "bare shirt" from the Norse (and old English) "sark" meaning "shirt". It is not clear if that meant wearing only a shirt or being bare OF a shirt entirely. A well-known example can be found in the name of the famous clipper ship "Cutty Sark" meaning "cut shirt", the figurehead of which is wearing a shirt cut short and (as was the fashion for figureheads of the time) very revealing.
Berserkers rarely actually survived, as their belief was that to be slain in battle gave them a 1st class ticket to Valhalla, so when wound up in the heat of battle they would have no cultural inhibition to shedding almost all clothing which might impede them and offer themselves as a kind of sacrificial spearhead to the attack.
For that reason, I would expect them to have few, if any, descendants. It's not a job with long career prospects!
I was there and this concert kicked all kinds of ass. Really miss Wacken and its people. Hopefully this year man...
I love that song .. its the 1st song by them that I actually really liked. ..I can't wait to discover more good songs by them..... great video tank
Just randomly had some new live stuff show up today after watching this video, one Sabaton reposted from Wacken worldwide, that appeard to be some sort of digital festival where they were clearly playing in a small studio type room but made to look like a wierd digital rendering of Wacken Festival, and Rock AM Ring 2019 show, apparently this was shortly before the Great War Album came out, they still had elements of their Great War Stage setup but were refering to it as "our upcoming album" on song intros.
This is the kind of song that just really fun to listen to :)
As of now it’s still up. Great song. Next up the animated story videos
Love your Videos, Tank! So much more than just reactions, I learn something everytime. Keep going! ;)
Afternoon Tank. Let's F#$&ing goooo
The cello and crowd singing along get to me, too, Tank. I feel ya.
Hahaha I'd the crowd singing " noch ein Bier"? Fantastic
One of the best sabaton songs ever
This is such an awesome song and you did an awesome reaction Tank Thank you so much absolutely loved it can't wait for next Saturday 🤘😋🤘
Sabaton - Into the fire 🤘🤘🤘🤘
you talked about the word berserk... here in sweden we have a common saying when... like someone gets to drunk and start fighting or flipping tables and stuff like that.... "he went on a Berserkerwalk" ... "han gick bärsärkargång" :)
saw them in a club in texas, blew me away 🤟😎🤟🖤
Just saw a recording of the two performances from the Denver Show. Gotta say, I think it knocks the Wacken version out of the park.
Good stuff tank! Keep em coming!
Tank: starts talking about berserkers, with some misconceptions thrown in
Community of the Sword UA-camrs: "...and I took that personally"
Pretty much. Hahahaha
Saw it live at the wacken, it was amazing😍
This is (says Google) the *Vodka Version*
Lol.
And I love this - Thank you, bro.
