Hello 17 years old Turkish teenanger here. I wanted to express my feelings about this sad story. I hope you can tolarete my English,if you can't it is okey have good day There are two breaking points in history for Turkish people . One of them is Gallipoli Campaing in WW1 and Battle of Sakarya in Turkish War of İndepence. Because these events brought very divided nation together and created camaraderie. Gallipoli is probably most important thing in our history because its our only great, decisive victory againts huge alliance of enemies since 1683 Siege of Vienna. İf you erase Gallipoli Campaing from history, you dont have Turkey. So it is a very big deal for us, also we suffered so many casualities, many of high schools didn't have graduations. İf i am not mistaken there was an high school lost all of their seniors in Gallipoli and there is more many of the generals,politicians,experienced soldiers rose in Gallipoli like our founding father Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. He changed the course of the campaign time and time again and probably most iconic is when he halted ANZAC advance at 25th April 1915. He became a national hero after the campaing. Yes, we don't see Anzacs bitter enemies. They are most dear to our hearts, at least mine. From our perspective our sacrifice had a reason, those young Turkish boys,fathers,brothers,husbands they died for the homeland. Kurdish,greek,arab,turk their sacrificed themselves for the good of their families. This was our Verdun, for Anzac's it was a tragedy, they died thousand miles away for from their country, their death was unnecessery and we know that, Atatürk know that so he told this amazing quote. I can talk about this war for hours with tears in my eyes.Last thing i wanna say is, i have huge respect for those guys, i am around same age and i can't imagine what they have gone through.That is why we call them '' Honorable Enemy'' All my respect goes to our Australian and New Zealander friends and dont worry we protect Johnnies like Atatürk said.
Thank you for the insight you gave us. Yes, errasing Gallipoli is errasing the fondation of Turkey. I am French and I probably heard 5 minutes about it at age 14. This song is helping redressing that, and you are helping too. Thank you.
Your English is great, and I appreciate this comment a ton. It’s amazing to hear your perspective coming from the youth of Turkey. 🙌
Thank you for sharing. As many Amricans do, I'm learning world history as an adult and your English is very good.
Calling it your verdun is apropos. The British navy landed on the wrong beach at the very start. The Turks had the lay of the land especially defending a peninsula from hillsides looking down on an open beach. Once you lost surprise, it would be very hard for the Anzac’s to ram through. Think if at d-day the Germans rather than expecting invasion at Calais were en masse defending Normandy instead? The surprise landing was the difference. This why Churchill was against this becoming a army operation. Yes the British and French navies suffered from mines but Churchill rightly believed imho that the navies could bash through the mine infested waters once they cleared them. He even thought of sacrificing old relics and send up the straits to engage the mines. The Turks turned out to be very good at moving their artillery around the peninsula. When Kitchener relieved command, new general Munro opined that the position was hopeless. The brits were probably more afraid of casualties evacuating the area than staying out. I believed that either through superb subterfuge or tacit agreement, the allies pulled out without a single casualty. A far different treatment was delivered to general Townsend at kut. But Gallipoli was supposed to be a quick strike that turned into another quagmire.
thank you man!
I am Turkish and My high school (and all male high schools in Istanbul) did not have any graduates in 1915 because of this. All the seniors went to Gallipoli that year.
That’s insane.
As the decendant of several ANZACs I am sorry for us all
@@choppamix7577 You have nothing to apologize for. Young men from all nations sent to the their deaths because some ultra rich old men wanted even more riches. This has nothing to do with the men who had fought.
Few battles beyond the Battle of Gallipoli come to mind where both sides formed a kinship and brotherly respect that now has lasted generations. Respect to the Anzac and Turkish heroes who bled and died on the sands of Gallipoli.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. Lest We Forget
Lest we forget
Lest We forget
Lest we forget
Lest we forget
I think one of the most beautiful things about Sabaton is that in the modern day we've lost the traditions of singing songs of glory to honor the fallen. Many of those that died in that battle likely held onto the hope that one day songs would be sung about it.
Sabaton is carrying on an ancient tradition that keeps those hopes alive.
Very well said. It's also why the people who call bands that do fantasy themes cheesy raise my hackles. And at least one idiot dared say the same about Sabaton...
My parents used to live in Turkey, which is where I first learned about Gallipoli. The thing that really stuck with me was the deep and abiding respect of the Turkish people for the soldiers who lost their lives in that battle...regardless of where they were from.
It's an old tradition, it seems. Saladin had the same policy.
By far my favourite Sabaton song. The line "Broken promises they won't be coming home." gets me every time.
Appreciate you putting my comment in your video, i feel like ive fulfilled my Aussie duty to spread the ANZAC story. Keep up the awesome reactions mate
🙌🙌🙌
Never forgotten!
ANZAC day is the most important of the public holidays we have. It's the day where we show our support and respect for the soldiers past and present. It means more to us than our national day.
Yep, I'm surprised he hadn't heard of it since it is so widely respected that even the American armed forces celebrate it.
The Last Battle is about how a group of German and American soldiers defended a castle together in the last days of ww2. It was called the weirdest battle of the war. I am surprised it hasn't been turned into a movie.
About as unlikely as the death of Patton ending up in a movie. Most of what was going down in that region, in the bunkers and research facilities run by the ss, is still secret.
It's also very underrated, I think tank would love it if he checked it out
According to IMDB, the movie is called The Last Battle, and it's in pre-production.
@@luisnunes2010 They don't have to cover any of that to cover that battle.
It's doubtful ot could ever be made into a movie because it would mean some German soldiers would have to be portrayed as something other than inhuman bloodthirsty monsters.
Very sad story, another very sad story about ww1 is the battle of paschendale. Sabaton made an awesome performance of that in woodstock, highly recommended! It’s called ”The price of a mile”.
and do not to forget "Fields of Verdun". Here in Germany Verdun is a synonym for a pointless Battle and where thousands of soldiers were thrown into the meatgrinder just to gain a few more meter or miles on the Battlefield, which you will lose on the other day.
Soulhunter1981 true! A great video too.
This story is such a tragedy and yet lives on in such gloriousness thanks to Sabaton
I was thinking that the music and the lyrical writing conveys a story meant to be remembered as a tragedy as opposed to a heroic event like a lot of their other songs.
it still lives on in new zealand and Australia with anzac day. The song no more waltzing matilda is from the point of view of a wounded survivor.
After watching Indy Neidell on the Great War Channel, this song hits differently these days. Gallipoli was a regular fixture in videos during this era. 'Left their letters in the sand.' Makes me teary.
Gallipoli was undoubtedly one of the most tragic and futile events in the WW1hell of tragedy and futility. Would be nice to think we’ve really learnt from it but... Great reaction as ever, Tank.
Trench warfare in France it was just a back and forth over the whole of WWI. Take the battle of Verdun for example in 9 month over 700000 casualties with over 300000 killed.
price of a mile, 200k-400k casualties on both sides just for a mile of devastated lands around passchendaele
the survivors of the Galipoli landings were sent on to Passchendaele to fight.
I actually learned about Gallipoli in high school. This was the first Sabaton song I ever listened to after a guy at BMT told me about them. I figured they were some random Satanic death metal type deal and so ignored the recommendation, but after I was in England for about a year I googled the band name. I saw some really cool-sounding titles but I had to click on "Cliffs of Gallipoli." It absolutely wrecked me. I've been a Sabaton fan ever since.
Sabaton suprised me in Oberhausen, Germany when they did an instrumental version of "final solution". At first i was kinda suprised that they did the song at all (because headbanging to the greates warcrime in german history is kinda weird and bad) but they managed to transformed it into a ballad
Now I can't help thinking that if you ever get to tech for Sabaton live, you may end up dancing with Joakim.
Thanks for the video, Tank! Nice music, interesting episodes of history, stage and music production and gear talk... Sabaton Satudrays are quite educational! haha
First time I discovered Sabaton was at Hellfest 2010 and that was the song that made me go "Fuck I love this band !"
This is one of those Sabaton songs which you can't help but love from the 1st hearing and play forever. At least it was for me.
As an Australian mate thanks for both doing this video and including a bit of context, hopefully a few of your other viewers got a little education.
I really enjoy this double feature format you do for Sabaton
Tank, the chick who was sure she didn't like Sabaton, now smiles when you hit older stuff because I've been through it all - I mean it all and all Sabaton history channel episodes, you created an addict lol. Thank you.
Thank YOU!
The only reaction channel where I dont skip directly to the song! Love it!
Thanks!
Oh man, i so love your reactions (and Elisabeth's) Many reaction channels are just some dudes nodding their head an scream "wow" now and then, but they neither have anything to add to the song nor a solid opinion... Please don't stop doing them... Oh, and by the way... consider volbeat, you are doing them wrong by just measuring them on that lunatic fan.
I get chills every time I hear Cliffs and Price of a Mile. Different musically from a lot of their other stuff but super powerful music and lyrics
This song got me into Sabaton. I first heard it on ANZAC day I think in 09 on my way to the Dawn parade.
Since then they have held the number one spot for me with this being there best song.
Hear in New Zealand this is our only major remembrance day, and there is a sense of honor without glorification, not only of this campaign but all conflicts New Zealand soldiers have served in.
hey man greetings from germany.
I like ur content very much and ur reaction to songs (especially live ones). Good to see im not the only one with tears in eyes seeing big crowds and bands having fun playing on stage. and hits really hard not seeing anything live for the past year. Keep up the good stuff :D
In my opinion sabaton’s older songs are very underrated. I recommend you check out ”The art of war”
Very true, even though "the art of war" is not one of the best Sabaton's songs, it is very underreacted. Also "Gott mit uns", and it's also much better imo.
You should check out their new song "Defence of Moscow" in your next Sabaton Saturdays, it's probably my new favorite song tbh
Yeah I love it too 😂
And the original by Oleg Abramov as well.
Skogsmard oh, I thought radio tapok made the original
@@tvaettis0653 Oleg Abramov is his real name, Radio Tapok is his stage name
Skogsmard oh lol
@TankTheTech Don't be surprised if you find this song growing on you over time. A few of their songs did this to me where I thought they were just "okay" at first then I found myself listening to them again & again...and this is one of those songs.
I love that the solo part is in 7/8. It is a fun rhythm to play on bass
The lady Joakim was dancing with is wearing a blue hoodie which means she is probably a festival crew, SRF has a dedicated bunch of volunteers that crew the festival every year. If I recall correctly 2010 was a shit year weather wise so the crew was given those hoodies to keep warm. :)
There is a beautiful and moving song about a Gallipoli veteran that you should check out. It is not metal, it's actually a folk song written in the 1970s by a Scottish Australian named Eric Bogle and is titled "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda." If you do check it out make sure you have the kleenex handy! Link to song ua-cam.com/video/cnFzCmAyOp8/v-deo.html
Please take a look at Sabaton's song "The Final Solution" it's extremely controversial due to the nature of the content it is about, however in my opinion they capture the somberness absolutely perfectly.
Your reactions never cease to make me bored, keep it up!
Thanks!
This is a really powerfull song, when you know the history. Hello from Sweden 🤘
Cliffs of Gallipoli was the first Sabaton song I've ever heard in the late 00's. I remember seeing a UA-camr I used to watch do a drum cover of it and I've been hooked since then
I cant find tha actiual time they went on stage for this concert in 2010...but the Sweden rock festival takes place in the middle of June.... that is a time of year in sweden where it never really gets dark and the sun stays up past 22:00..... I have been playing UNO all night outside with no lights at 02:00 at midsummer. When it is the darkest at night at that time, it was har to tell if a card was green or blue...but thats about it ;)
So this MIGHT have been daytime...it might have been evening... hard to tell from the sunlight alone ;)
Oh wow. Haha. Considering they had a 15 song set, this very well could have been passed 20:00.
If I remember correctly, it was a mid to late afternoon slot for Sabaton on the main stage in 2010. This was a big step up for them at the time, having previously played the 3rd and 4th stages, and as you can see in the video, they got a great turnout and crowd response.
The approx 2-3 hours of semi-darkness per night really came as a shock on our first visit to SRF. Sleep is not a common pastime at that festival for sure :)
Keep in mind that it won't get dark really dark until ~11PM in Sweden during the summer. With that said. I managed to find that they had the 6.15PM slot in SRF2010. Great video!
Next The ballad of the bull.. Amazing song by Sabaton!
This song ❤️ So beautiful with the piano and so emotional lyrics 🙏❤️ Thank you for this reaction Tank 😊
This song has a very Savatage - Gutter Ballet vibe to me. Start listening at around 1 min 20 sec.
It's not a vibe bro, they actualy lifted the riff from Gutter Ballet along with a bunch of Savatage-trademark transitions and pauses. Good for you for noticing, i commented the same thing before i got to your comment.
Thank you for giving this song the audience it deserves tank. I lost my great grandfather in this battle so I love this song and it holds a place in my heart. Thank you tank. Now listen to defence of Moscow
Wow, the end credits on the live video took me by surprise, seeing the name of the editor "Jim Beckmann" here on your channel. That's one of my friends, who sadly passed away in 2014 in a free-diving accident in South-East Asia. That made an already emotional video even more emotional, but fun to see his name appear on one of my favourite channels.
For some trivia about Sweden Rock Festival (SRF); Sweden's biggest rock festival (big in Sweden = 35 000 in the audience). Next year is the 30th year annversary, started out in a small town called "Olofström" roughly 30km north of where it is today and moved to the slightly bigger town "Karlshamn" the year after (my town!). Some years later it moved to where it is today, ~20km west of Karlshamn. For many years they have had students from "Blekinge Institute of Technology" filming the festival, so I've had plenty of friends working there with Jim being one of them.
From what it looks like in the video, Sabaton didn't even play at the main stage in 2010. It looks like the second, or possibly even third, stage here. I looked up a poster from 2010 and they weren't highlighted in any way, just "one among all the others", so even though everyone in Sweden knew who they were, they hadn't been around long enough to be worthy of a better timeslot and bigger stage (SRF have also traditionally targeted more 70/80's band as the core of the festival).
Sabaton has of course played several times at the festival during the years and they always go as regular audience for the whole festival outside of their own timeslot (I would guess that they try to make room in their touring schedule to be able to participate at the full festival).
Speaking about timeslots, I asked the question back when you did "Mirror Mirror" by Blind Guardian when they played in the evening and started out with daylight but ended the set when it was dark; it would be nice to hear you talk about how the changing of daylight into evening changes a set, if it changes anything, with how you set up the lightning, pyro or other stage effects etc.
Keep up the great work as always!
As far as the bands and crews themselves, it doesn’t change much. Most bands will still put on the same exact show in daylight has they would at night, if they’re allowed to do it. Now, obviously from an audience perspective, the lighting and pyro may not look the same as it won’t pop as much in daylight, but most bands take themselves seriously enough to not skip out on the production.
Thanks for all the info! I’m sorry to hear about your friend, but thank you for the story!
@@TankTheTech thank you for the answer and great insight as always! :)
This is my favorite song full stop, I'm a huge fan.
Keep it up with older sabaton 💯 love the reactions
I have been waiting for you to react to this for a while, and though I might differ with you on how much I like this piece I still love the honesty from you! 10/10
We All Love Sabaton 💕
This song always makes me cry 😢😢😢
I've been binging your reactions to sabaton, they played this in Australia when they came to visit. It's a big deal for us and it was a greta moment
I am a Turk, married to a Kiwi (New Zealander). We have been to the dawn services in both Gallipoli as well as Auckland. I was very excited to hear that Sabaton did a song about Gallipoli and listening to it I was very glad to hear how much they did this story justice.
Do the last battle. The story is amazing and song was voted, by sabaton fans, most underrated sabaton song ever.
That battle was such a cluster fuck. It had a lot of impact, not only in lives but also on the different military forces.
The movie Gallipoli is probably one of the best war movies I have seen. Highly recommend it.
Full body goosebumps and tears is a very common reaction to this song for me. Thank you for this reaction. ❤
I can't await your reaction episode to SHIROYAMA, my absolute most favorite SABATON song ❤️
Glad you got around to this one. It's one of my favorite songs from them but I respect your opinion on it.
Hope it grows on you with further listening.
Enjoy the Sabaton history on this subject.
Great reaction as always.
Hug from Portugal
You wish to see Sabaton life - I wish you that one day it will work! After I saw them for the first time, they "got me"! Now they are one of my all-time favorite bands! Their shows are absolutely stunning and the guys are really nice. I was very lucky to see them in Frankfurt last year before the big lockdown and it was so fantastic - I can't wait to see them again! And you are right, you can learn a lot about history. Thanks also for your great song reactions.
In the lines "far too young to die in such a way" and "such waste of life" you can hear the disgust in Joakims voice
hey tank me again haha, the first person on the beach was 14 he was also the first death the average of the soldiers was 16 years old,
as it was sold to them as a great adventure to help the crown at the time.
as my saying goes.
Gallopoli: where a country was born.
Kakoda: where a country was saved.
another great reaction.
Musically, the song was okay, and not among my favorite. I look forward to more Sabaton Saturdays! Thank you for this series!
I do hope you’ll consider reacting to Van Canto’s cover of Primo Victoria, and definitely listen to the music video. Joakim is also featured in the music video! Unfortunately it’s difficult to find good live recordings of Van Canto performances, so you really are better off listening to the music video. Also, even though it’s an “a cappella” cover, I’m pretty sure there’ll be at least a little bit of gear you can talk about.
This one's a personal favourite of mine, probably because i'm from Aus and therefore biased to any song related to it.
Cheers from Taranaki, New Zealand.
I know I'm late to the party but just in case it hasn't been mentioned yet: the different lyrical structure compared to other Sabaton songs might stem from the fact that much of the lyrics is loosely based on a speech given by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, commemorating the battle and all those fallen soldiers.
(The one that is partially shown carved in stone.)
More so than any Sabaton song, this one really focuses on the horrific impact of war. Rather than singing about heroic actions, this one focuses on how people were forced to fight and kill each other for no reason at all. The impact is even greater when you read the words of Ataturk on the monument, recognizing that there is no animosity or conflict between Australian/New Zealand and Turkish people. This song is tragic.
Bro the highlights of my Saturday always include your Sabaton reactions. Huge fan of their music and your reactions are awesome and very dialed in. Send the wife a happy Mothers Day from all of us. If i may make a request i would say Great War or Fields of Verdun for your next!! Keep rocking sir.
I really like the evolution aspect you're mentioning - seeing the journey from more humble beginnings to international headliners is fascinating.
And that goes for a lot of bands, many have become a lot more experienced in both their musical skills, but also in their showmanship, over the years, and it often shows.
That's not to take anything away from them at this point, on the contrary - it shows that there's always potential to polish, to improve, to experiment and evolve, even when you're reaching higher and higher levels. (It's not like they weren't successful back then, that is a pretty huge crowd and a lot of crowd support for them) Is everyone gonna like everything any band and/or bandmember does to change over the course of the lifespan of a band? Nah. But that's the case regardless of what you do.
I'd say that to anyone doing music, regardless of how successful they might be (and that's highly subjective in and of itself): do what you feel like, try what you want to try. It's your journey.
HE'S DONE IT! Thanks Roadie!
When I first time heard Sabaton way back in 2016, I get used to listen their discography in a pretty wired way - starting from albums of 2008-2014 (now 2019) period and then listen albums of 2000-2006 period (except album Metalizer of 2007, which was a re-record of Fist For Fight Album of 2001 with only two new songs - 7734 and Thundergods. Also there was such songs like Speeder and cover for Judas Priest's Jawbreaker). And The Art Of War was one of my fav. albums of 2008-2014 (at that time) period of the band)) if you wanna see Sabaton's performance of this song with the good quality and with their old keyboardist, you can just watch official video. It showcase him a lot. Thank you for another great reaction, Tank!)) have a nice day, my friend))
Thanks for your great reaction! You are so good You've noticed that the words seem a bit not like Joakim... I've heard in one interview he said they worked on this song quite a long time and a fan was involved in this with his ideas for lyrics. Sorry, I don't remember now which interview it was :-) Greetings from Poland!
the man , the myth, the legend. PISCATOR lyric vids :) i love those
Great reaction, Tank! If you would like more info on the Gallipoli Campaign, I suggest reading the book “Gallipoli” by Peter Hart or watching the movie Gallipoli(1981), starring a very young Mel Gibson. You will get the idea of what the Gallipoli Campaign was like from either of these, in my personal opinion.
I’m Australian and I attend the ANZAC Day Dawn Service every year. Lest we forget.
A suggestion for either a second channel or maybe a patreon thing, Rodie reacts to Sabaton History
Seeing them and Judas Priest in September it will be my second time seeing Sabaton live they put on a great show , I’m really enjoying your reactions .
Would love to see you do Smoking Snakes 🐍 great song .
Didn't Judas Priest postpone their tour tho?
@@grigorov1914 It was postponed from last year.
(The one near me was one of the canceled shows. I'm still upset.)
@@aprilvoecks5877 yeah i know they cancelled last year's tour, but from what i understand they cancelled this year too. They were supposed to play at Midalidare Rock (in Bulgaria) together with Sabaton, Alestorm, Within Temptation, Running Wild and some other bands, but now they postponed it for next year
@@grigorov1914. It looks like that may be a case-be-case issue. Their website says that some of the locations with Judas Priest from last fall are still scheduled to happen this fall. (I checked today.)
*Love this song !!* 🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎵🔊✅🤘😎👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌟✅
I have worked as stage security at sweden rock festival since 2012, and as far as I can tell this show was played on the rock stage which is the second biggest stage, and Sabaton didn't play on the biggest stage (festival stage) until 2016 and then they was one of the headliner for that day
Thanks for the info!
Ah yes, Churchill's incompetence.
Even tho almost every Sabaton sound the same to me, similar riffs, simliar melodies..the diferent lyrics and hostorical events still makes it interesting everytime
And now, for contrast, watch their performance of that song at Woodstock^^
No way, there is footage from 2095 SRF? I was there man, and watched Sabaton's set. Yes it was a small stage in a tent! I was there more for Blind Guardian that year, but for sure Sabaton impressed me. Twas a fun night!
No sorry got my dates and Fests mixed up. SRF was 2003. I saw Sabaton at Graspop in 2007, Aerosmith and Iron Maiden were headlining then...
By now you will have seen the history part for this but like many battles it is a testament to human waste. In the previous years the Gallipoli attack had been looked at many times but every time the conclusion was that any attack there was simply not feasable due to the terrain. For reasons unknown they still decided to launch the attack with predictable results not helped by the fact that the soldiers were dropped miles from where they were supposed to be.
About the daytime thing, even though this is in the south of Sweden, during that time of the year it only really gets dark for a couple of hours. So that set could have been somewhere between 2000-2100. Maybe even somewhat later
This one took a while to grow on me. I learned about Gallipoli in an honors history class I took in high school, but outside of that you never hear much about in history classes here in the USA. I'd love to see you do Screaming Eagles, its older era, but a total banger. Watch the official video, it has gear to review and has great action scenes. But honestly there are many great Saboton songs to see/hear
Where to not stand on the stage - In videos from the last Great Tour they have a grille at the front of the stage, and here and there you can see black spots (soot) on the grille. I guess a good idea is to not stand on the black spots if you don't want roasted chessnuts. That also makes it important for the stagecrews to always put down the grilles at the same place at every concert. And it also comes down to having a good pyrotech, one who knows when to not shoot off a flame thrower.
Like you said, it is a different feel in this song, like they haven't found the concept and style of Sabaton as we know them today. They are on the way but just not there yet.
Cheers / B.
Outdoor pyro seems riskier. Like if there is a wind blowing across the stage, I could see the gas pyro blowing downwind more than expected. You can see it a bit in this performance but it doesn't look bad enough to push the pyro out of the safe zones you mentioned.
You should react to Sabaton's "Metal Machine", Sabaton's tribute to the history of heavy metal.
And as a side quest, try to see how many references to other songs and bands you can spot in the lyrics.
The only live video that is pro-shot has potato-quality though :(
Metal Crüe as well
i found about your channel just today. first video i watched from your channel is the one for babymetal - pa pa ya! (i really like babymetal, and listen their songs often, so i guess that's how i found out about you). next one was the the hu video you did with your father (which was amazing to be honest. really loved the energy you and your father had together).
i wanted to recommend you a band for a reaction video. maybe even another reaction video for you and your father together (i feel like he will like this one as well).
i felt i needed to watch the video completely before making a suggestion under it. and... turkish person here.. i feel like i can't describe the respect atatürk deserves for showing such love for soldiers on the enemy side. and he is absolutely right.
oh, the band i want to recommend is... wagakki band. and maybe heilung
daniel played mostly roland fantom g7 and roland xp30 on tour during 2010 and 2011. I've also seen him playing some midi keyboards, roland a-800 pro and other brands too. Since they formed Civil War I only have seen him playing roland jupiter 50 (which was released in 2011).
🤘🤘🤘 Thanks!
This was Churchills first attemt to a beachlanding (ww1) he learned alot ...
Also I suggest checking out the movie Gallipoli if you haven't seen it, older Australian production and one of Mel Gibson's first breakout roles.
Tank, as always such an informative reaction. I really enjoyed it mate.🤘Also, I was wondering if you have got any plans on reacting to Gojira's new album Fortitude. You said a while back that you'd love to do more Gojira, now's a perfect time.😊
"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (One of the men responsible for the victory of gallipoli and later on the first prime minister of the newly reformed turkey.)
Edit: Oh it was in the video haha. One of the most powerful quotes i know
"You threw away lives at Gallipoli like they were scraps off your plate"
Think Epic Rap Battles is the only other place I've even heard Gallipoli mentioned, which is STAGGERING considering its relevance in the war.
One of few songs in which you hear the guitar solo that was written by Joakim himself. Overall a very poetic and emotional song.
fellow american and we were taught little about ww1. we had to watch in high school stanley kubrick's 'path of glory' it was the first ww1 movie that i ever saw and became a ww1 history buff ever since. recommend by books by martin gilbert, barbara tuchman and john keegan. 'gallipoli' probably failed because the british navy lost its nerve. churchill, who was running the admiralty then, was quite upset that british navy ducked battle to force open the straits after their initial invasion was stopped by mines. he felt that the army took over the command needlessly and that the navy kinda passed the pound. then again, churchill was fired and then served time up at the front and missed death by inches a few times. churchill's opinion of himself is always quite high. the initial landing was actually on the wrong beach and the battle was probably lost there.
I love when you can hear Joakim giggle, while singing.
As I heard it the big problem was that the British only had so many boats and needed a force to bait and draw focus giving the British Troops time to get off the beach, and so they sent the ANZACs to their deaths.
It is one of the best sabaton songs in my opinion but the record is old and you can notice that, but in quality of the song itself is one of the best in lyrics and sound, but what is not making you like it so much It is because of the quality of the sound, if you hear it more I think you will like it much more, I want to recommend you is sabaton inmate 4859
5:20 yeah, he is listening to Sabaton, you can hear it xD
This isn't a happy metal song.
This is a dirge.
