Thank you for hearing my requests to react to this !!!
YES!!!! Finally some more Sabaton!!! Do some more Sabaton man. I see it so little here and I know you love them. Their older albums were also amazing. Want my advice? Listen to En Livisted I Krig live in Stockholm during The Great Tour 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
have you heard the new album from black veil brides ? the phantom tumorrow
Hey Alex I was wondering if you I could react to a REALLY weird and funky band I just found called “primus” some songs like “jerry was a race car driver” “lacquer head” and “my name is mud”.
The Christmas Truce was not an ordered truce by the people in command. It was an agreement by the soldiers themselves in the trenches. Just FYI.
Sabaton - we need majestic background vocals and operatic vocals for the outro/credits .
Hannes- i know just the person .
Sabaton : We need a Soprano
Hannes : I have one at home
The Soprano at home : FLOOR JANSEN
Props to Floor Jansen for the background melody and the ending opera
The outro on repeat and Christmas is just fine.....
Bruh I fuckin knew it 5 seconds in let’s gooooo lol
Was it really Floor?
@@UnusualElan yep. She commented on the original and she's in the credits
Also, maybe Sabaton for making this entire song happen?
In many cases after the truce lots of soldiers refused to fire on the men they'd just celebrated Christmas with. Partly because of this, but mostly for their insubordinate fraternization with the enemy, Command on both sides transferred the troops involved to different fronts and harshly punished them.
in some cases they even executed the soldiers refusing orders after the truce just to tell the other soldiers who refused what would happen if they continued to refuse
I would rather be punished then murder the good people I just spent Christmas with. Then again I'm not a soldier.
They couldn't risk that more people would start to see "the enemy" as human aswell. Makes this story super sad.
I would have preferred to be punished than kill
@@emilymatthews2990 Punishment in this case means field execution.
I'm a simple man. I like Sabaton and Christmas. I'm in heaven right now.
This is officially my favorite Christmas song, ever!
This is the greatest Christmas song ever, period
@@funfactor4528 Agreed, no question.
Merry Axemas by INK for me
Corey Taylor's cristmas song rocks too
@@funfactor4528, lol wrong but ok
That cross they set up represents an actual cross installed at one of the battlefields in Belgium to commemorate the Christmas Truce, the inscription on it is pretty close to what's in the video, especially "Lest We Forget".
thank you for sharing, it kind of made sense in the video but now it's much clearer .
"A Christmas on the front far from home"
"Then all the cannons went silent"
"And the snow fell"
And suddenly both sides starts playing "Stille Nacht" & "O Holy Night"
This song made me cry. They set out to capture the emotion and they more than succeeded.
It is just as beautiful as it is heartbreaking.
Every. Bloody. Time.
Man... I hear you. I hear you...
This became one of my favourite songs when i realised that Floor Jansen actually did the opera melody at the end and all the backgroud melodies as well, an actual Sabaton x Floor song wow
It was one of my favorites BEFORE I knew that was her!
I clicked faster than Erwin Rommel going into France.
There's actually a bit more backstory.
Firstly, the Pope had actually asked the governments to declare a ceasefure, they told him to get lost.
Secondly, from what we know today, there were several smaller "truces" and encounters at different parts of the front line, independently.
Sadly, both sides made it very clear that an unauthorized ceasefire would carry consequences the next year.
Classic Sabaton! This song makes you feel happy, sad, proud and devastated at the same time... Ending credits part was just brilliant, too bad you missed it.
I for one always hoped that Floor would get involved with a Sabaton song in a small way, I got my wish. My other wish is that Apokalyptica, Sabaton and Nightwish tour together. A man can dream but wishes do come true
Check out the Future of Warfare - Soundtrack version from the last album. ;)
Floor also lent her vocals for the song "The End Of The War To End All Wars". You can hear her harmonizing.
ua-cam.com/video/JyZ8wKTaHRk/v-deo.html
Sabaton vs Apokalyptica
Fun fact: The drummer, Hannes Van Dahl's wife Floor Jansen is the opera vocals in the end of the video. She is also the singer in the incredible band Nightwish.
I knew that was her
Nice fact
Alex already knows who Floor is and he is a huge fan, but he skipped the part in the credits. Too bad. I bet he would have thrown a frickin' PARTY if he had read it for himself... That would have changed the end of the reaction entirely.
@@jamescurfman3284 Just telling everyone who’s watching the video.
@@pr1m0n Oops. My bad. lol :)
Full body chills when the piano starts❣️
And again when Floor starts the outro.
You should react to SABATON - En Livistid I Krig ( Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg) an absolute incredible performance by both sabaton the the audience.
YES!
sweden.
Noone actually wanted to kill eachother in there... They were all just puppets controlled by the higher-ups and all they could do is fight against the opposing side for survival even if they didnt really want to. The Christmas Truce really shows this
If only those who start wars were the ones forced to fight them.
@@kevinramsey417 they used to be on the front lines… see revolutionary war as an example
"is that carol of the bells" yes and no, its reversed
also, with some more Christmas-y theme songs i highly recommend Majestica and their album "A Christmas Carol" (yes, based on the story) its genuinely a musical masterpiece. Oh and their song Father time. The lead vocalist of Majestica is Tommy Johansson from sabaton, he has a beautiful voice.
Tommy is probably the best voice in power metal at the moment. Only person I can think of coming close is Christian Eriksson, but he can't hit the same highs live that he does on the album (and Tommy could when he filled in for him)
Mötley True, Above The Sky
@@JohnTCampbell1986 never heard Yannis Papadopoulos?
My take on how the truce happened in the first place was just the perfect confluence of events. The Pope had called for a Christmas cease fire that year, which may have had an effect on the troops' mindset (we don't know how many heard about the call to lay down their arms, though). This being the first year of the war, the new way of fighting with machineguns and trenches was still unfamiliar to the troops. Up until WWI, war had been an orderly affair of line infantry firing in volleys, cavalry, etc. War was considered to be "gentlemanly", pauses were granted to collect the dead and wounded, wounded men were granted quarter, etc. The pause in the shelling on Christmas Eve, I think, allowed those ideals of gentlemanly warfare to reassert themselves. Last, you just want to stop fighting. Those men had to be so, so tired. Emotionally and mentally, as well.
History lesson time! After the many truces that happened that day -against orders from above - many soldiers found it impossible to fire on their new friends. There are stories of soldiers firing into the air to avoid hitting anyone. Command had to spend a lot of time rotating new troops in to continue the fighting. High command on both sides knew that if troops were allowed to fraternize they would realize that they weren't that different. The objective is to present the enemy as the "other", someone completely alien and different from their own soldiers. And they changed out their pawns to drag this war on for another years, costing 15-20 million deaths and, in the end, resulting in a flawed treaty, the consequences of which would lead directly into World War II.
It's actually quite sad to think about it
@@_lordshadow1823 Sadder yet is when you think about the fact that those same commanders, knowing that the war was to end at 11 am on 11 November, 1918, insisted on making one last push, killing thousands of soldiers mere minutes before the fighting was to stop. No gains made, no ground recovered, just more murdered soldiers. Maybe we should start making the world leaders and their generals go out on the front lines instead of young men and women.
War has no winner, only those who lost.
@@_lordshadow1823 That's one of the most profound things I've ever read.
@@calebleland8390 That is my thought as well.
'You think it's so goddamned funny to send somebody else into battle to do your dirty work? How about YOU get YOUR great fat ass out of that nice comfy chair in your nice safe office and you go do it your goddamned self!'
That should be a call all around the world. Leaders need to be HUMANS and not warmongers. WHY do we allow these old outdated fuckshits to remain in charge? They are making sure to kill us all instead of looking out for everybody, while they remain safe and just get older and wealthier.
Everything Sabaton does is so simple and yet they just keep getting better and better like fine wine it just get better with age
Sabaton - The Last Stand
I'm with you, brother. I don't do Christmas songs until around Thanksgiving, but as soon as this dropped I had to listen. I've been rocking to it since. And every single time I end up an emotional mess.
You skipped the ending? You missed Floor.
I would imagine this would happen more often if the consequences for not following orders weren’t so severe.
Often times the actual people fighting on the front lines have more in common than not. They are just sacrificial pawns to their countries government and are doing what they are told
This is my favorite Christmas song of all time! Christmas came early this year thanks to SABATON!
This is one of the most touching stories ever. It simply goes to show that these men were able to find a brief moment of humanity amidst one of the worst periods of inhumanity in history. This song gets me every time.
They had more in common than you think. They each were stuck in the frozen mud and snow with dead buddies and longing to be home with family and friends for the Holiday. That they were able to share a brief moment of humanity in the midst of total insanity says a lot about these men. Never happened again as the Generals made sure of it, this was the troops who called the truce and it is harder to kill someone you know after that. This is also a song of remembrance for those who never made it home from any war for the Holidays. 11/11 just passed and this is a song to commemorate the fallen and hope they have found the peace these men never knew and hope we can all regain that humanity they displayed. Love Floor's Aria during the end credits, the Valkyrie Goddess collecting the fallen and bringing them home to rest just a haunting sound that really capped a great song and a great video.
7:28
It's an example of humanity in war and also of "It's national, not personal", much like the Stiegler Incident ("No bullets fly") or Castle Itter ("The Last Battle")
Your positivity is so infectious. Your reactions have helped me through a difficult part of my recent life. Please keep doing what you're doing, I can only imagine I'm not the only person who feels this way
Cracking review Hef - Sabaton's approach to their music just makes me love them more!👍
Found myself watching this at 4.00am. Superb music by Sabaton, invoked an emotional response that very few songs can now days. Keep up the good work Alex.
You have to react to sabaton the last stand.. so good
Yes this was dropped a bit too far before Christmas, but it was dropped for Armistice Day/Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day ... which is Nov 11. So a little early for Christmas yes.. but in context in this case I think it is appropriate for both events.... particularly with the "Lest We Forger" at then end of the video which is a traditional moto for Remembrance Day across the Commonwealth countries (and I imagine elsewhere as well.)
Hanes,van Dahl , Floor Jansen Husband , put me in shok when he start to clim that stairs and she sings in the end like opera vibes. good Floor.. love u
This, 1916, and Ballad of the Bull are probably their most emotional songs. Definitely react to those if you have not already
Knew this song came out and was waiting until it was closer to Christmas to listen to it. Then here you come along with this, so here we all are rocking to another awesome Sabaton masterpiece.🎹🤘🎄
Always liked Sabaton for the historical content. This song just ices the Cake for them.
Sabaton once again delivers a outstanding piece of music. Not only is the song outstanding but that damn intro is outstanding same with the whole video, fucking amazing.
Try this one, worth it I promise "SABATON - No Bullets Fly" The 8 minute one, animated to get most of the storry!
This song is such a masterpiece! I'm glad you reacted to it.
Not really a Christmas person, but this a Christmas song I can get behind.
Yep awesome song from Sabaton again and this story is just beautiful and i gives you something to think..
Many thnx to Floor Jansen for the ending that belongs there and rounds this song up in a good way imo!
Thnx for doing this Alex Have Fun and enjoy the tunes! 🥳🤘
I've been waiting for this reaction. I dont know how this song and video wouldn't make you feel. So many intense emotions! I cried when I first saw this.
The band did a charity tshirt for a local war museum in the UK, raised thousands to help keep them open. Lucky I got one before they sold out.
Guess there is a new song to add to my Christmas Metal Playlist! A song about one of the weirdest moments in all of wartime. Only Sabaton could write a song about this.
What an Amazing 🌟Christmas🌟 song by SABATON💪
The lyrics and
the music inspire you. And the video is AMAZING🤘
It's also a piece of history.
You can learn
a lot.
It's very emotional😭
And at the end the voice of
FLOOR 🌟 from NIGHTWISH makes it extra beautiful..💫
This is a Gift for Christmas
☃️🎄🕊
We are all.....
We are all.....
We are all.....
We are all..... FRIENDS 🤝🤝
For me the Christmas song of the
year 2021..🌟
A little PEACE and Love ❤ for Everyone🌹
This was beautiful, and let's remember a moment here, when it's Christmas🌟
Often FORGOTTEN, unfortunately 😪
Thank you this was AMAZING. Love from The Netherlands
❤🤍💙🇳🇱🙋🏼♀️
There are several reasons why I call Sabaton the best history teacher you’ll never have. This song is only one of those reasons.
I've learned more history as a Sabaton fan than I retained from 12 years of schooling. They are amazing!
@@kaeldrarhiannon I’m very interested in military history so all I have to do is listen to a song from Sabaton and then head over to my library. 🤘😝🤘
Can't Believe you cut Floor Jansen off at the end, total sacrilege.
the operatic part at the end was done for floor from nightwish so here's hoping we see more from her in this new album as well
Been waiting for you to do this!!!
I can't watch this video without the tears starting to flow.
You actually cut off Floor Jansen singing?
hey alex . go back and listen to all the end music and read the end credits. that gorgeous angelic voice. Floor another xmas gift from sabaton.
I love Metal Christmas songs! I would definitely recommend ICE NINE KILLS- Merry Axe Mas and Lacuna Coil- Naughty Christmas
tommy from sabaton has a whole christmas album. Majestica-A christmas carol
@@blazejecar thanks! I’ll check it out!!
@@samanthaestrada6772 There are also videos for the album by Majestica: Ghost Of Marley, The Joy Of Christmas, Ghost Of Christmas Past (Official Lyric Video) and as an extra a wonderful art video: Glory Of Christmas (Official Art Video)
@@rileymushroom1240 thanks!🤘🏼
I usually hate metal Chrismas songs, but not this one. I think I like it... No! I LOVE it!
This is the most badass Christmas song I've heard in my life!
I’M NOT CRYING! I’M JUST SWEATING FROM MY EYES!
Goosebumps thru literally the whole song 🔥
Yesss, please more Sabaton👍🏻
About damn time lol 😆
such an underrated band
Amazing song, and did you pick up on who was singing the outro credits, Alex?! Yes, FLOOR JANSEN!!
dude you suckered me into that ad - I watched every second just for you dude - made me laugh
This is unrelated but this is the first time I heard your new intro, love the transition! So cool you have both your musical passions in there.
Yow Alex, the opera voice at the end is Floor from Nightwish. I was sad to find out the Floor part was not included on the album version, even not on the history version as well. Oh thid you know the cross stands about 20 km from my house as i live in Flanders Fields. Awsome reactio ;)
Love some sabaton. You’re own commercials, not so much.
It was nice to see Mr. Jensen display his acting ability as German Soldier #1 😁
When you think Sabaton have peaked, boom they release this and
Blow you god dam
Mind.
imagine the guts that first guy out from the trench had
The saddest part about the Christmas Truce is the aftermath of it. Soldiers from both sides of the conflict refused to shoot at each other after having enjoyed a moment of peace and harmony with one another. Commanders on both sides either had the unsubordinated soldiers either moved to other fronts and harshly punished, or had them punished right then and there, sometimes through execution. It was one of the many times in history where human spirit managed to break through the iron curtain of war for just a moment, before getting crushed once again by it. I think the aftermath is especially the reason why Sabaton wanted to make this song especially emotional and sad. It's pretty much a testament to the death of innocence.
amaranthes clean male vocalist, Nils Molin, has his own band called Dynazty! They really do not get enough attention, and I think you would like iiiiiiit
They recently dropped a new single - Advent - which is awesome
Heartless madness, apex and waterfall are also great songs!
One thing this song drives home...regarding “putting their differences aside” was that their differences weren’t so distinct. This was a political war orchestrated by the powerful and fought, for the most part, by ordinary men who’d signed up out of patriotic duty. The actual infantry on both sides generally had a lot in common, fighting because they were told to, out of duty, not out of malice towards each other.
Wasn’t there also a statistic that something like 75% of guns in ww1 never fired a gun?
The beginning of WW1 was complicated. The Austrians probably had every right to kick the crap out of Serbia for assassinating the heir apparent to the throne. (And yes, the Serbians probably did back the Young Bosnians as they were supplied by the Black Hand).
But because of timing, politics, and just absolutely bad luck the war ended up involving most of Europe and spanned the entire world.
Saying that it was politicians being politicians is oversimplifying it. Several of the politicians involved tried their hardest to prevent war. Extra Credits has a video about the July Crisis called "The Seminal Tragedy". It goes into some depth about the events leading up to the war.
It's amazing how many small things could have happened slightly differently and the last 100 years would have been very different.
Great reaction as usual buddy. One thing you missed however, the singer doing the siren like notes at the end was Floor Jansen.
They have an live and acoustic version of this
Sabaton - Christmas Truce / musikhjälpen 2021
Love this song
FINALLY MORE SABATON
As someone who was combat deployed during the holidays close to 10 years ago I can relate to this song all too well
She called me and said c'mon over, there's nobody home. So, I went over, and there was nobody home!- Rodney Dangerfield
the voice of Floor Jansen in the last part....simply, magic!
Majestica, a spinoff band of Sabaton, has some great Christmas music and videos, all hand drawn by the singer
Majestica is not a spin-off from Sabaton, but Tommy Johansson´s own band. It has been around since 2000 and was previosly called Reinxeed. Tommy has been with Sabaton since 2016.
@@rileymushroom1240 I stand corrected
In some parts of the front, this Christmas truce actually went on into and slightly beyond new years eve 1914-1915... so, as said... it did hold (in some parts) for quite some time given the circumstances of being at war with eachother.
I waited for this reaction
Listen to the end is an sign of interest and respect, as for the fact to read everything to the end. It is a matter not to be a fool! Therefor a thomb down
Loved this
Honestly, the only people who wanted to fight that war were politicians and high ranking officers. In fact, the commanding officers on both sides were so scared that their soldiers would just stop fighting all together, that the day after the truce, both sides ordered artillery barrages to start the fighting again. And any attempt after that for a Christmas truce was immediately squashed.
I always get goosebumps when I here this
This also happened during civil war in america as what i read back in school i thing around first battle of fredriksburg north and soutth troops shared resources and such on christmas. I think Iced Earth sang about that in Glorious burden album or im misthinking :)
The Christmas truce was proof that no matter what country you fight for, every grunt eventually gets tired of all the bureaucracy and bs of war and wants some peace time. even if it's for a one night or day
Pure masterpiese! Love this song!
I think Christmas Truce will go down as Sabaton’s Magnum Opus.
I am so excited for new album to come out. March the 4th cannot come faster. Especially when they announced a story about Milunka Savić back at Exit festival (the video is named A Teaser From the Future on their channel). If you ever decide to react to history videos, you should check out her story, it's pretty metal-worthy.
The soldiers of the Christmas truce found out, that they actually had more in common with the poor bastard in the other trench, than with their own generals!
We need a "Public Service Announcement" that Floor is singing in the credits. haha.
2:10 option E. “Babe there won’t be a home if we don’t stop the banished”
Wow, Floor’s opera at the end is amazing!
Heh, rumor has it that The drummer’s wife can carry a tune.
This is the perfect Christmas music
New Christmas song on my list after
Wham and Mariah Carey
And a lot better one!🤘😉 My favourite Christmas music since last year, is Majestica's Christmas album, "A Christmas Carol". (And their new bonus track, "Glory of Christmas").
Steel Commanders from Sabaton as well
Some groups took part in the truce, mostly they were Germans and Brits, and some did not, and actually continued the war.
There are a number of written accounts about the truce, and many letters reached home, but only few of them would even mention the infamous games of footie, and certainly no extended games were played. Some cans certainly got kicked around, that it is very unlikely that there have been full games, although, if there were, there would have been 2 sections where it was most likely, but I can't remember their names.
Go check out Warographics' new video about the Christmas Truce if you really want to learn more.
It is a fascinating topic!
