Sabaton - The Great War - Historian Reaction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2021
- It's almost been a month since my last Sabaton Video! I have some lame excuses, but they don't hold much water! With today being Memorial Day, I thought it best to cover a song that involved many American deaths.

Don't be afraid to go "Nerd mode" with Sabaton reactions, most of us that listen to the band, love history so if we get some new information even it is just a detail, I'll consider that a bonus.
Absolutely!
Seven pillars of wisdom! Indy plays Lawrence of Arabia in the music video!
Exactly!
After they filmed 7 Pillars of Wisdom the band was in a terrible car accident but it didn’t stop them. They are that dedicated to their followers.💜
A Ghost in the Trenches from The Great War album is epic, same goes to Seven Pillars of Wisdom, The Red Barron and The Attack of the Dead Men! Well, the whole album is amazing, so you have have fun! We'll be here to enjoy it with you! Best wishes from Poland!
The story of the attack of the dead men was amazing. I think thats awesome that the Russians were so hell bent on keeping the Germans out that they fought tooth and nail to stay alive long enough to slaughter the Germans. The Russians are en entirely different breed
When I hear this song, it speaks to my very soul. No matter how bad things have gotten for me, no matter how many people have died in my life, I listen and I feel the spirit of the soldier in the song. And when it feels hopeless, I look around and I am encouraged. Especially that one part: we face the heat, as we are fighting until the dawn, *so follow me, AND WE WILL WRITE OUR OWN HISTORY!!!*
Then, I fear nothing, because this is our time, and we have a duty.
The album The Great War! Going down the rabbit hole of this band! They have got a lot of songs. On the album Carolus Rex, the band were helped by the historian Bengt Liljegren who wrote the biography of Charles XII. Keep up the good times with this band. Greetings from North of the border.
There is nothing heroic in wars, but all sides play with nationalism and dehuminazing the enemy. Sabaton is doing a great work and I love the music, of course as a metalhead.
Yes! Finally another Sabaton reaction 🤘🤘
Yea, sorry bout the delay. I got a handful of donation requests that put me down other rabbit holes. Plus, I was waiting for my merch!!
@@HistoryBuff Yeah fully understandable 👌 Got my dog tag a couple of weeks ago! Are you planning to react to Defence of Moscow? Love you videos specially your Sabaton reactions! 🇸🇪
Sabaton is the best band to nerd out to! So many of us fans are both music and history nerds. I know I love reactors who goes into full nerd mode while listening to Sabaton because it's a fantastic mix of both worlds and there is so much to dig into. :)
If you are going to react to the woodstock concert, here are some suggestions:
I know you already mentioned ”ghost division” and ”40-1” but ”uprising”, ”white death” and ”the price of a mile” are also great performances.
Hi, I'm not American but if you're feeling patriotic you have some awesome choices from Sabaton : 82 All the way, Devil Dogs, To hell and Back, The lost battalion, Screaming Eagles.
Hug from Portugal
Thanks for the hug!
Дружище, с большим удовольствием посмотрел твою реакцию! Спасибо, ты всё понимаешь и это отлично! Привет из России.
My friend, it was a great pleasure to see your reaction! Thank you, you understand everything and it's great! Hello from Russia.
Awesome reaction, really enjoyed it! You mentioned the mass grave in Verdun, sabaton actually made a song about that battle, called Fields of Verdun. I recommend checking it out :P
The parade is from the Liberation Festival in Plzeň (Pilsen), the Czech Republic, in 2019.
About time woho another Sabaton song :D you have many left to explore
Hello History Buff (perhaps you've said your name at some point and I didn't catch it)
I've seen all your Sabaton reactions in your playlist until this point and I gotta say, I really like them! I love that you're adding new information to many videos that wasn't even in the Sabaton History videos - although it's totally understandable since History is massive and I assume that the Sabaton History Channel had to cut loads of information and only keep the most important and on-topic things to keep the video to a reasonable time. I also really like that you try and pay attention to all the details - Music, Lyrics, History, Video. It also puts a smile on my face to see someone like music that I like as well, but I guess that's the case for most people.
Seeing you react to one of the newest songs with Great War, I gotta say, in my opinion, Sabaton only got better with time. To put in U.S. school grades, their first album was a B, second a B+ and it's only been As with more and more plusses since then (again, in my opinion).
I also have some (quite a few, actually) songs that I would love to see your reaction to at some point, and that don't get nearly enough attention from History Reactors in my opinion. To go chronologically per album:
Purple Heart from Primo Victoria
Light in the Black from Attero Dominatus
Cliffs of Gallipoli from The Art of War
Wehrmacht, Saboteurs, and White Death from Coat of Arms
~unfortunately, you already listened to the entire Carolus Rex Album~ ;)
Smoking Snakes, Inmate 4859, Resist and Bite, and Far From the Fame from Heroes
The Last Stand and The Last Battle from The Last Stand
Seven Pillars of Wisdom and The End of the War to End all Wars from The Great War
I hope to see many more great reactions and I wish that more and more people will find your channel! :)

Wow! Thank you for such amazing feedback! Sabaton has pretty much become my signature band so yea, they're not going anywhere anytime soon. Also, its really funny you say that because I was totally planning on talking about how much they have evolved musically on this last album. Before "the great war", I've never really appreciated them for their musical chops, both writing and execution. Probably because of the other bands I binge on like Nightwish, unleash the archers, lovebites, etc. Are just from another planet. Comparatively, sabaton just always sounded "average". Of course I appreciate them more for their amazing content. The great war was a game changer though! The writing, the drumming, the guitar solo, everything was top notch!
the christmas peace, they had to redeploy more or less everyone from that front because suddenly it was not an unknown enemy they faced, but a friend, someone they had played soccer with, shared candy and a drink with the night before. If I remember correctly, the high command was furious over this.
My grandpa told me that the generality were not amused, that on all sides. But the soldiers did know my "enemy" is like me and feels what I feel. He fought in 2 world wars and the Spanish Civilwar, died at the age of 96 and told me a lot of stories.
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl I salute to your grandfather dude. What a trooper (pun intended)
@@dragodx8238 thank you, I take this in his name.By the way, the American Red Cross saved literally his life in 1918 (internment camp Paris, soccer stadium, he was still a 19 year old) and brought him to Cuba where he recovered (1,93m, 51kg weight, several injuries/wounds). He would have been died, as many others, after the war was long been over. After that, he took a side and fought for what´s right. He´s my "little hero" and I took a lot from what he told me with me. Not all Germans were assholes or Nazis, but history is always written by the winners.
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl Wow. 19 years old and in the trenches. Glad he survived that (also, 1.93 meters tall that's huge)
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl Thank you so much for sharing this! Respect to your grandpa and thank you for your service!
Great video!
Indeed "Seven pillars of wisdom" (official music video) and "Fields of Verdun" (official music video), both from the Great War album. Great reaction, btw!🤘
More WWI music from Sabaton...
I Def recommend you to watch Angels Calling ft Apocalyptica. I swear.. The solo and the lyrics will blow you away
I'm hoping Sabaton does a cover of "Hypa Hypa." That would be amazing! Picture Hypa with her pink hair painted on the nose of a WWII bomber, or fighter plane... the "DUPP-DUPP-DUPP" timed to explosions. FANTASTIC! And it would get a lot of people to check out Sabaton that wouldn't otherwise. (-:
THIS HAS TO HAPPEN!!!!
Verdin lasted over 300 days, thousands and thousands died and fathers and sons never came home. 😢
History Buff -" Happy" memorial day? You know better.
Not really. Thats just what we say. If people want to read too deeply into it then I can't help that.
Nice one Dude, hope ya`ll did have a nice Memorial Weekend !! Freedom is not Free !!
Sup brother!! Long time!
I don't know if you noticed but every person in the choir had a different WW1 uniform.
There was quite a bit i didnt notice the first time around. I guess I was too enthralled by the lyrics and the message. That is really cool though!
Don't forget--Into the Fire is a great Vietnam song from Sabaton.
If I'm not mistaken the two innovations that made the Great War so orrific was the machine-gun and barbed wire.
@History Buff, I have suggestion to these 3 sabaton's songs and cover that you've probably gonna react in the future 😂 the songs
1)Ghost Division (early German invasion on 🇫🇷)
2)Panzerkampf (German invades Russia - Russia push back)
3) Defend of Moscow
listen these in order feels more immersive😁 for me at least, but but this is only my opinion and I'm just suggesting 😁 u can listen those in any way u like👍🏼👍🏼
btw love your videos♥️ keep it up 🤘🏼🤘🏼
The unkillable soldier is so rad
About this. "A war that will put an end to all wars." I have heard that people of that time considered the machine gun to be an "ultimate weapon". They believed that no one would force their soldiers to attack the trenches with machine guns. This is a bit alarming, given the comparison of a machine gun with an atomic bomb.
Impressive reaction mate! Keep up the good work! If you are searching for band merc, now you know wich band merc t-shirt you wear your next reaction video! ;-)
I got it!! so definitely next video. I'm thinking about shaving my beard like Joakim's too.
@@HistoryBuff that would be awesome! I recommend seven pillars of wisdom!
their cover of defence of moscow, which is a radio tapok song, is very cool
Hey there! Loved your channel, I recommend you Rome is Falling by Civil War. It´s not Sabaton, but also talks about history and it´s an amazing track.
Thanks! Yea, some people have mentioned them. Aren't they made of ex sabaton members?
@@HistoryBuff they are indeed. They have a wonderful sound, they tend to stick more with American history/conflicts vs sabaton doing more than just American history. Definitely suggest checking them out, Sabaton and Civil War are my 2 favorite groups
Well with you mentioning the christmas events time to check out the christmas truce song?
try react to Carolean´s prayer - both SWE/ENG version, same music, different lyrics from Carolus Rex album, i love this song
When you get a chance check out the Night Witches. Then watch the history channel about them. Also No Bullits fly, or just the Hero’s album. Their merch is VERY well made. Yeah it’s $$ but I got the Night Witches hoodie and it’s thick!,
Check out some of my other videos. I've covered all that.
I'd like to know what you think about the show "Genius", especially season 1 that only deals with Einsteins life. WWI and WWII are both large parts of the show of course.
Haven't seen it. Would really one to though!
@@HistoryBuff I HIGHLY recommend it.
I have a Suggestion what you can listen to. Maybe try Radio Tapok. He is a Russian guy Who acctually does everything alone for his Songs i guess. He Covers some Metal Songs and translates them into russian. He also does this with Sabaton Songs like Attack of the Dead Man, Bismarck or Night Witches. But you could also check out some Songs like Rammstein's "Deutschland" from Radio Tapok. I really started to listen to it a lot even though i don't understand the lyrics because he sings in russian
hmmm...I'll look into it.
Everything in this video can be found in this concert film ua-cam.com/video/SKBuIgXVykM/v-deo.html
The Great War was really a Meat Grinder. 🙁 Joakim got barb wired earplugs. And, why oh why haven't you reacted to Sabaton - Christmas Truce.
I was waiting til Christmas of course
@@HistoryBuff Lovely!🤩
Did you notice the Soldiers' memorials [mike stands]? Rifle with bayonet in ground and helmet/dog tags on the butt.
No I didn't! That's pretty amazing!!
React to "the war to end all wars"
Can you do Price of a mile?!
Eventually😁
@@HistoryBuff nice😍 and you have devil dog an 82nd al the way 😁
@@HistoryBuff When you eventually get around to it, Price of a Mile is a fantastic song for describing the reality of WW1. It really drives home the value of human life and just how much of it was lost for little to no gains on the battlefield. I recommend you check out a fan video by Hardigun when you react to it. It has almost 2 million views as of now and features scenes from the movie "Passchendaele", not to mention it has lyric subtitles because you really don't want to miss any of those. Can't wait!
Yea, im really thinking I will do this entire album. Especially since I've studied WWI so deeply and feel like I have a lot to offer.
@@HistoryBuff looking forward too when you are doing the hole album☺️
the parade was i believe in the liberation celebration in the czech republic
Yes, Sabaton were opening the Liberation Festival in Plzeň (Pilsen), The Czech Republic in 2019.
There was a little bit of Floor Jansen inspiration there for sure, she is married to one of the Sabaton members after all.
Hit like if we reckon there should be a reaction to Primo Victoria released for the 6th June, will be a fitting tribute
Try sabaton price of a mile :)
Hello man please make reaction on this SABATON - Defence Of Moscow (Official Music Video)
US flags in Yugoslavia? * Evil Soviet sounds*
Not sure what you mean?
@@HistoryBuff Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Austria were liberated by Soviet troops, Mr. Buff.
This was a Czech flag not Yugoslav ;). By the way whole western part of Czechoslovakia was liberated by Patton's 3rd army. US army liberated cca 30% of Czechoslovakia. The rest was liberated by Czechoslovak and Soviet armies from the east ;)
I know you meant well. However, there isn't much "happy" about the true meaning of Memorial Day. It's a day of honoring my brothers and sisters in arms who I served with, who came before me, and after I left. For honoring their lives that they gave to the country... off soapbox now.
I get it. Thanks for reminding me
