this was the show me and my other half went too and it was just as amazing in person, i could feel the arena shaking when they all got together to play
Great reaction man! I was there, front row, it was only about three weeks before lockdown happened. One of the most insane shows I've ever been to, and if that wasn't enough, Hannes threw me a drum head signed by all the guys. That drum head now has its own special place on my wall😁 Btw, they take this style all the way. Even the cables on Joakims in ears are barb wire😛 Greetings from Norway 🤟🇧🇻
Join the club!!😄 "Creating a monster.." LOL!! 😂 Yeah, that's kind of what these guys do to you... I'm hooked on both Amaranthe and Sabaton. 😊🤘 Btw, I was in THAT crowd and it was awesome!!🤘For more Sabaton live videos I recommend "Night witches" (live from Leipzig, 2020. Highly recommend the official music video too), "Red Baron" (live from Berlin, 2020), "Angels calling" ft. Apocalyptica (live from Vienna, 2020), "Carolus Rex" (live from Stockholm, 2020, Swedish version. Some Swedish history on that one, good to have some background info. and don't forget English captions on. ) Great reaction!🤘
Welcome to my world... Driving in my car I listen to the albums. At home I watch them live. And I was so jealous when I saw this video, because at "my" concert a couple of days earlier, they performed 82nd but just as Sabaton. Amarathe wasn´t a one show showup, they were the openers on the hole tour. But never the less.. it was a hell of an evening. And I´m gratefull to have been there
I think it was more of a "Hey dude, you almost got your butt burned off" when GG6 (nickname for Amaranthe's growler) was on the front riser alone and they went to grab him. Fortunately, the pyrotechnics guy was paying attention.
Fantastic reaction. Please react to "En livstid i krig" from that live in Gothenburg. It`s in swedish but have subs on, it will blow your mind. Greetings from Sweden ;)
Another group you really need to check out since you love grooves so much is Ayreon- The Day That The World Breaks Down. You won't be disappointed. It's actually not a band but a collaboration of some of the most talented musicians and vocalists alive.
*sigh* No. Day The World Breaks Down is worst possible choice to introduce Ayreon. It's loaded to the brim with in jokes and references for the hard core ayreonaut like myself. Almost every reactor that attempts World Breaks down pretty much never touches Ayreon again. It's a great song, it's also the weakest song on the album and the album storyline is HEAVILY dependent on knowing the rest of the discography. Ayreon is ridiculous. 100000%. That's why it's so good... but not yet. I've recommended Dream Theater - Fatal Tragedy live in london for this reason. He's mentioned he's a Rush fan, so Dream Theater should be right up his alley (Maaaybe) and with James, he has Floor, James, Joost and Marco under his belt, all people who have guested on Ayreon. TL;DR? Yes, OldSkuleNerd, you should react to Ayreon... but not yet. Dream Theater - Fatal Tragedy - London Demons and Wizards - Crimson King - Wacken 2019 (or the two pack with that and Fiddler, Oh Poor Fiddler(Crap. I picked the wrong song(fixed)(with Joost on Piano and Marcela in the choir)(for the next choice) DarkhorseWhitehorse - Black Hole (Marcela's youtube channel) Devin Townsend and Anneke Van Giersbergen - Ih-Ah (Prognosis 2019) Epica - Sancta Terra (Ft Floor and Mark Jansen (No relation)) THEN. Amazing Flight - Electric Castle Live and Other Tales - Tilburg 2019. (Oh, and the narrator may be someone you recognise) Why the homework? Cause you don't drop someone who hasn't been in the scene for 15 years into the deep end and wonder why he hasn't come up for air. Christ. Anyway. Yes. I think I'm done. Good Luck. (You'll need it)
Actually, here's another way to consider it. You're probably familiar with the idea that Rush is the band all the musicians like? Given the amount of WACKEN HEADLINERS Arjen has on his rolodex that he can call and they'll make room in their schedule for him as fast as humanly possible? Get to know the new bands and then you'll be able to appreciate the guy THEY all like. Or you can jump into the deep end. It is upto you in the end. (You maaaaay recognise the name Devin Townsend. Maybe from Steve Vai or maybe Strapping Young Lad, depending on when you left the scene)(Hell, maybe fall down the Devin rabbithole first. They're both prolific madmen)
Tommy Johansson is well-known as the guitar player of the Swedish metallers SABATON. But before he joined the Swedish “war machine”, he was already busy playing in his own band named REINXEED, currently completed by bassist Chris David and guitarist Alex Oriz. Of course, his touring activities with SABATON has since slowed down the creative process for REINXEED. The group has now returned - seemingly out of nowhere - with a new 10-track album entitled »Above The Sky« and a brand new name, MAJESTICA. On the new record, Tommy presents not only his guitar skills but also his vocal abilities once again, which he also showcased as TWILIGHT FORCE’s stand-in singer throughout autumn 2017. So check out the song Above the sky, amazing high vocals, drum solo, guitar solos, bass solo. Its dynamite. And if you are going to do christmas songs... Majestica just released a metal christmas album, named a christmas Carol. Ghost of marley and ghost of christmas past are just smoking hot
Have you checked out the Sabaton History videos? They have a whole channel where they go into the historical background of their songs If you want more Amaranthe, try Archangel
I think a nice rotation would be Nightwish - Sabaton - Amaranth. Repeat. You do know that those three bands are connected? Floor Jansen of Nightwish is married to Sabaton's drummer and they live outside Gothenburg in Sweden. Amaranth are from Gothenburg and Elize of Amaranth have auditioned for Nightwish and actually jumped in at the Denver concert when the previous Nightwish singer Anette got sick on tour (which you can see in the excellent Nightwish documentary "Learn this setlist in 48 hours".
Watch ANYTHING from their live concerts in Poland. If you think UK crowds are special, you need to see a Polish Crowd at a Sabaton show. I suggest either 40:1 at Woodstock or Uprising from the same show.
4:28 the stage crew in military uniform is what makes Sabaton so unique. I saw during a live video, a technician with a cap, behind the drums, he was talking to Hannes, I had the impression that he came from somewhere else
I was there at that concert, it was a mindblowing live experience. Amaranthe and Apocalyptica were the warm-up bands for the entire tour, and Sabaton brought them both onto the stage during their set to play some songs together.
Welcome down the rabbit hole, theres no exit. Really enjoyed your reactions. As already mentioned, please do "En livstid i krig" from the Gothenburg gig.
Really recommend watch through their live official videos filmed this way from The Great Tour 2019/2020. And please put on caption if you get to Swedish songs like "En Livs tid krig" Sabaton is a rabbit hole of 90+ songs and albums with diffrent wars, heroes, last stand and more from 1999 😎
The guy with the clean rock vocals in Amaranthe is called Nils Molin and he is also in a band called 'Dynazty' who are an absolutely solid Hard Rock band - I recommend checking out 'Prescence of Mind' by them if you want a taste.
Interesting note- when it went black at the end there was a pyro shot that was meant to happen, but GG6 was stood right on top of a flamebox, so the pyro guys who were on the ball stopped the shot, Nils was trying to get GG6 off the stage for the shot.
Every official live video from The Great Tour is from this perspective and you get to see a lot of the stage, including the tank drum riser shooting in Nightwitches, a tri- (or bi-) plane for Red Baron, an entire Russian choir in one song and a few other nice things. Swedish Pagans from Wacken 2019 has a hard-ass chellist kicking butt on stage and a few other interesting things. Live Sabaton simply kicks butt. I'm enjoying your journey. If you're interested in History Sabaton History here on UA-cam tells the story behind most of their songs with an American historian called Indy (great name for someone in that business...). You're in for a long ride if you want to. I'll go with you ;-) From a cold and miserable Sweden...
Sabaton has a whole Playlist with live videos from there Great Tour 2020, just before the lockdowns. I suggest the one in Gothenburg, with subtitles because its in Swedish.
Watch Sabaton live in Wacken, it’s great and their concert in Denver CO … plus I’m new to Amaranthe and I can’t get over how deep that guy’s voice is!! Don’t know his name but Eliza’s voice is WOW
Hey OldSkuleNerd, great reaction! My other favorite is a band is from Monterrey Mexico The Warning - 3 sisters who rock - 1 EP 2 albums all original music, independently done thru Patreon and Kickstarter. The band got recognition on a viral video in 2014 when they did a cover of Metallica's Sandman while they were uploading videos for their grandparents to see, @LFJY it went viral to the point that Kirk Hammett one of the founding members of Metalica tweeted " The drummer kicks maximum ass "! Along with Band-Maid, they are the future of rock, they have a lot of rock influences from the past but bring a new and unique Rock Sound! August 2020 - they signed with Lava /Republic Records a division of Universal Music Group, during negotiations they go complete creative control of their music and the label can only recommend, it's up to the Ladies to approve, unheard of for an independent band being signed by a major label. They are the only band from Mexico and the only Rock Band from Latin America to ever sign directly with a major U.S. label, these talented singer-songwriters are breaking new ground for women in rock! If I could ask you to react to Dust to Dust @kOiU their opening song of their 2nd. Album Queen of the Murder Scene, released in 2018 at this performance they are 18,16,13 respectably. A Rock Opera and in my opinion a masterpiece! They are singer-songwriters who a young age writing amazing lyrics trust me they will blow your mind! SUB! I'm originally from southeast Louisiana, move to Florida due to Katrina, hope you and your family came out ok with all these hurricanes that hit the area this year.
If you look at the different sabaton tour vlogs youll see that the band dose random stuff off and on stage alot, the part where joakim didnt know if he was suppose to go on stage was one such time. They are just having fun and enjoying themself
SABATON is awesome live they have great time on stage love this song WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT I CHOOSE AMARANTHE VERSION OVER SABATON BUT TWO DIFFERENT VIDEOS BOTH ARE AWESOME C-YA
1st: On some concerts, Joachim's earpiece-wire looks like barbed wire. 2nd: Some time ago the truck carrying their "tank" (drumset stand) to a concert had an accident on the Autobahn. Imagine THAT discovery by the cops when they opened the back.
Love your reactions, love that you tell a story and comment on the musicians as well as the vocalists. I would recommend another Swedish band to check out and that's Avatar check out Hail the Apocalypse from Wacken 2015. The lead singer has both clean vocals and a growl. Hail the Apocalypse is all growl but I think you will enjoy it.
The tempos, vocal styles, mood, etc all change throughout these - check them out! Devon Townsend - Kingdom Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine Slipknot - The Nameless Lamb of God - Overlord Mushroomhead - We Are the Truth
To see live stuff from Sabaton I would recommend the Great tour videos as well as the footage from Woodstock 2012 (Especially 40:1 and Uprising). Oh and you thought the tank on stage was epic, Watch Red Baron live .. they have a plane on stage too! Oh you should check out some Melodic death metal too.. it's death metal vocals with old school/power metal music. Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy and Dark Tranquillity is some amazing examples of this.
If you like comparing bands, amaranthe has also done a cover of a powerwolf song called army of the night. Both versions are amazing. I think both versions will be right up your alley. I found your channel through your nightwish reactions and I like they way you present yourself. I subscribed. I think I missed out on a big part of the past 5 years of metal being too preoccupied with my carrier, so I'm tagging along on your journey.
There's at least one Sabaton live performance where the lead singer comes from off stage with a pyrotechnic modelled to look like a bazooka..... and fires it!
You've probably been told before in comments, but I am too lazy to go throught them all, but that great drummer, that is Floor Jansen's husband. Gotta love Nordic metal 🤘
I would say that you can't go wrong with Sabaton. But I recommend night witches live great tour, en livstid i krig live great tour put on sub, ghost division live Woodstock, 40:1 live Woodstock, uprising live Woodstock, the final solution, midway, no bullets fly, Wolfpack, fields of verdune video, seven pillars of wisdom, hell and back and so many many more
If you want the full experience of sabaton you should watch the song "en livstid i krig" live in Gothenburg from the same tour they made :) you will be amazed. Put the subtitle on BTW :)
Love your channel, keep it up! And love me some Sabaton & Amaranthe. Fields of Verdun by Sabaton is a must, as is Devil Dogs. As for Amaranthe - Hunger, Maximize, The Nexus, Helix, Viral will all give you a good taste of their style. Henrik (the growler) is featured heavily on "GG6" and "Boom!" and those should be checked out. "Amaranthine" is slower and an incredible display of Elise's vocals (keep in mind the clean male vocals are their original 3rd singer, not Nils). And as someone mentioned, Nils has another band Dynazty that is well worth a listen. Side note since it's almost Christmas - do yourself a favor and react to Nanowar of Steel's "Valhalleluja" if you've not heard it already. Incredible power metal talent and hysterical lyrics and video.
A few band suggestions: Slipknot, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, Alter Bridge, In This Moment, Trivium, Bullet For My Valentine, Spiritbox, etc. Also more Jinjer, Nightwish, Unleash the Archers, Amaranthe, and Sabaton would be awesome! ... so basically ALL THE THINGS!!! 😆
Yes, welcome to THE rabbit Hole, THE great tour live videos. Once you seen Night witches and the pyro from that show you Will be stuck. Or the amazing video for "great war" The pyro Will make you feel like new years Eve is for kids.. This is just My own conclusion, but the lights in the scene is blue when okay to stand om it. Yellow when pyro is coming.
There are several major Western female-fronted metal bands you should check out--Epica, Within Temptation, Delain, Ignea, Frozen Crown, Semblant and more. And then there is Japanese metal, from X-Japan and Loudness to Dir en Grey and Galneryus to Unlucky Morpheus (female lead) and Babymetal (impossible to define) to over a dozen all-female metal bands. You've done Nightwish, Band-Maid and Jinjer. A lot of people would say that completing the Big Five for reactors would mean reacting to Babymetal and Lovebites. I left you links in your Discussion channel!
Probably has been said before. Their drummer is married to Floor Jansen with Nightwish. They met when Sabaton was touring with them. I need to see these guys live!
Hello, if i may make some humble suggestions? Check out Sabaton's attack of the dead men, it tells the story of the true horror which was poison gas during WW1, and it is a very good song. Another band worth checking out is Amorphis, finnish band. Their song The bee is awesome, based on the finnish national poem the kalevala. For bands with female lead singers, check out Arch Enemy: The world is yours, and In this moment with the song The in between. Arch enemy has a singer who growls and In this moment has a singer who sings clean voice but is very powerful, they have some very deep texts. Did you know that the bassist from Nightwish Marco Hietala has his own band Tarot? Check their song Tides, it is so beautiful it is unbeliveable. Also, Nightwish song Shoemakter is worth listening to, it is a song about the astro geologist Eugene Shoemaker, the only human being buried on the moon, they sent his urn up there with a research probe. If you should tire of sheer metal check out Wardruna +Aurora and the song Helvegen, it is norwegian music based on viking traditions and traditional music and it is very powerful and soothing. There are tons of great bands out there, these were just a few. By the way, it is awesome to watch your reactions, you do know something about war history, most who does reactions doesnt know anything and it is in my eyes very sad.
You must react to en livstid i krig "a lifetime of war" from gothenburg it Will give you goosebumps, its in swedish bud the interaktion whith the crowd is fantastic🤘
If anyone is interested in Nils Molin's singing, the male vocalist from Amaranthe, I suggest you check his band Dynazty. Last two albums "The Dark Delight" and "Firesign" are going to get stuck in repeat for a while. Sorry NOT sorry for that.
Not sure whether someone already pointed you towards them, but if you like the clean vocalist from Amaranthe, you should lend an ear to the band Dynazty. :)
I'm going throw my sugestion in with Dream Theater's - Scene Two: I. Overture 1928. Each member of this band is so incredibly talented and they work so damn well with each other, I think once you get a taste of Dream Theater you'll never look back. I'd love to see what you think of Dream Theater!
You should really listen to some Trivium, they have so many great songs and there are almost no reacts on youtube :( I recommend What The Dead Men Say from their latest album or Shogun from an older album. Shogun is a 11 minute masterpice enjoying you videos :)
I think fireworks should be there but since Amaranthe singer was still on the stage they didnt go with it. So other Amaranthe singer pulled him off but then it was to late for fireworks.
You want epic videos Amaranthe has an incredible director some of their videos are movie quality like Hunger The Nexus Burn With Me n their newest BOOM!1
Nice! Your channel/this video just showed up for me. Like/subbed. If you haven't already, I'd recommend checking out the Swedish metal band Avatar. (They're stage crew also were 'uniforms', but not military, lol). They are best in live videos, but also have incredibly creative and well-thought-out videos. Anything from Wacken 2015, PolandRock (2019, I believe).. smaller venues are just as good, too (like Let it Burn at Sticky Fingerz). \m/
You're damn right there are more bands to do! Rock and Metal have undergone a renaissance all over the world, and Americans are missing it because...don't get me started. One quibble: Stop calling yourself old. You told us you are 40-something. I'm willing to bet more than half your regular viewers are older than you. Just a hunch, but that's the audience demo at actual festivals, at least in the U.S. In Europe and Japan it's different, because rock and metal are cool and mainstream there. 😉
The arena is a wwII fortress rebuilt to a sporting arena in 1991. It also host conserts.
I was there! The last concert i went to before coronavirus locked down everything😷. One hell of a show! Love your reaction videos!
this was the show me and my other half went too and it was just as amazing in person, i could feel the arena shaking when they all got together to play
Great reaction man!
I was there, front row, it was only about three weeks before lockdown happened.
One of the most insane shows I've ever been to, and if that wasn't enough, Hannes threw me a drum head signed by all the guys. That drum head now has its own special place on my wall😁
Btw, they take this style all the way. Even the cables on Joakims in ears are barb wire😛
Greetings from Norway 🤟🇧🇻
Two Swedish bands singing about an American live in Norway. Brings a tear to my eye every time
I was there and had the time of my life
Join the club!!😄 "Creating a monster.." LOL!! 😂 Yeah, that's kind of what these guys do to you... I'm hooked on both Amaranthe and Sabaton. 😊🤘 Btw, I was in THAT crowd and it was awesome!!🤘For more Sabaton live videos I recommend "Night witches" (live from Leipzig, 2020. Highly recommend the official music video too), "Red Baron" (live from Berlin, 2020), "Angels calling" ft. Apocalyptica (live from Vienna, 2020), "Carolus Rex" (live from Stockholm, 2020, Swedish version. Some Swedish history on that one, good to have some background info. and don't forget English captions on. ) Great reaction!🤘
Dude! Check Out 'Night Witches Live from Leipzig' to see the epic stage in action!
Welcome to my world... Driving in my car I listen to the albums. At home I watch them live. And I was so jealous when I saw this video, because at "my" concert a couple of days earlier, they performed 82nd but just as Sabaton. Amarathe wasn´t a one show showup, they were the openers on the hole tour. But never the less.. it was a hell of an evening. And I´m gratefull to have been there
I think it was more of a "Hey dude, you almost got your butt burned off" when GG6 (nickname for Amaranthe's growler) was on the front riser alone and they went to grab him. Fortunately, the pyrotechnics guy was paying attention.
GG6 is a boat registration. Fishing boats from Gothenburg / Göteborg is marked "GGx". I'm not sure on the details, but still.
That's why the stage lights went out, there was supposed to be pyro there.
Got to see them live on their tour ... damn... what an epic night!!
Fantastic reaction. Please react to "En livstid i krig" from that live in Gothenburg. It`s in swedish but have subs on, it will blow your mind. Greetings from Sweden ;)
Yes, that is a great one and definitely rich in storytelling, amplified by the atmosphere they create together with the audience.
Absolutely!
Another group you really need to check out since you love grooves so much is Ayreon- The Day That The World Breaks Down. You won't be disappointed. It's actually not a band but a collaboration of some of the most talented musicians and vocalists alive.
*sigh* No.
Day The World Breaks Down is worst possible choice to introduce Ayreon. It's loaded to the brim with in jokes and references for the hard core ayreonaut like myself. Almost every reactor that attempts World Breaks down pretty much never touches Ayreon again. It's a great song, it's also the weakest song on the album and the album storyline is HEAVILY dependent on knowing the rest of the discography.
Ayreon is ridiculous. 100000%. That's why it's so good... but not yet.
I've recommended Dream Theater - Fatal Tragedy live in london for this reason. He's mentioned he's a Rush fan, so Dream Theater should be right up his alley (Maaaybe) and with James, he has Floor, James, Joost and Marco under his belt, all people who have guested on Ayreon.
TL;DR? Yes, OldSkuleNerd, you should react to Ayreon... but not yet.
Dream Theater - Fatal Tragedy - London
Demons and Wizards - Crimson King - Wacken 2019 (or the two pack with that and Fiddler, Oh Poor Fiddler(Crap. I picked the wrong song(fixed)(with Joost on Piano and Marcela in the choir)(for the next choice)
DarkhorseWhitehorse - Black Hole (Marcela's youtube channel)
Devin Townsend and Anneke Van Giersbergen - Ih-Ah (Prognosis 2019)
Epica - Sancta Terra (Ft Floor and Mark Jansen (No relation))
THEN. Amazing Flight - Electric Castle Live and Other Tales - Tilburg 2019. (Oh, and the narrator may be someone you recognise)
Why the homework?
Cause you don't drop someone who hasn't been in the scene for 15 years into the deep end and wonder why he hasn't come up for air.
Christ.
Anyway. Yes. I think I'm done.
Good Luck. (You'll need it)
Actually, here's another way to consider it. You're probably familiar with the idea that Rush is the band all the musicians like?
Given the amount of WACKEN HEADLINERS Arjen has on his rolodex that he can call and they'll make room in their schedule for him as fast as humanly possible?
Get to know the new bands and then you'll be able to appreciate the guy THEY all like.
Or you can jump into the deep end. It is upto you in the end.
(You maaaaay recognise the name Devin Townsend. Maybe from Steve Vai or maybe Strapping Young Lad, depending on when you left the scene)(Hell, maybe fall down the Devin rabbithole first. They're both prolific madmen)

Have you checked out the Sabaton History videos? They have a whole channel where they go into the historical background of their songs
If you want more Amaranthe, try Archangel
Yes. If you are into history, check that out. Sabaton History. They tell the stories of the songs togehter with a historian.
I think a nice rotation would be Nightwish - Sabaton - Amaranth. Repeat.
You do know that those three bands are connected? Floor Jansen of Nightwish is married to Sabaton's drummer and they live outside Gothenburg in Sweden. Amaranth are from Gothenburg and Elize of Amaranth have auditioned for Nightwish and actually jumped in at the Denver concert when the previous Nightwish singer Anette got sick on tour (which you can see in the excellent Nightwish documentary "Learn this setlist in 48 hours".
Watch ANYTHING from their live concerts in Poland. If you think UK crowds are special, you need to see a Polish Crowd at a Sabaton show. I suggest either 40:1 at Woodstock or Uprising from the same show.
One of the best crowds ever
I think the best one has to be them doing ghost divison, about NAZI'S while in POLAND, and the crowd sings along!
4:28 the stage crew in military uniform is what makes Sabaton so unique. I saw during a live video, a technician with a cap, behind the drums, he was talking to Hannes, I had the impression that he came from somewhere else
I was there at that concert, it was a mindblowing live experience.
Amaranthe and Apocalyptica were the warm-up bands for the entire tour, and Sabaton brought them both onto the stage during their set to play some songs together.
Welcome down the rabbit hole, theres no exit. Really enjoyed your reactions. As already mentioned, please do "En livstid i krig" from the Gothenburg gig.
Really recommend watch through their live official videos filmed this way from The Great Tour 2019/2020. And please put on caption if you get to Swedish songs like "En Livs tid krig" Sabaton is a rabbit hole of 90+ songs and albums with diffrent wars, heroes, last stand and more from 1999 😎
Absolutely right. Truly, an embarrassment of riches.
Dig deep, be brave, and ENJOY!
Really nice work. Please keep it up.
Cheers

🤘👹🤘
Sabaton played on two stages at the same time at wacken 2019 fe. ;)
The guy with the clean rock vocals in Amaranthe is called Nils Molin and he is also in a band called 'Dynazty' who are an absolutely solid Hard Rock band - I recommend checking out 'Prescence of Mind' by them if you want a taste.
Interesting note- when it went black at the end there was a pyro shot that was meant to happen, but GG6 was stood right on top of a flamebox, so the pyro guys who were on the ball stopped the shot, Nils was trying to get GG6 off the stage for the shot.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail for this I thought to myself ''Oh this dude is in for a damn fine treat!''
This was so EPIC I had replay it again before commenting. 💥 Stunning. Great camera work & great reaction mate! ⭐🤘I'm becomming a Sabaton geek.
The mic stands are configured as a soldier's memorial - rifle with helmet used to mark a grave...
Every official live video from The Great Tour is from this perspective and you get to see a lot of the stage, including the tank drum riser shooting in Nightwitches, a tri- (or bi-) plane for Red Baron, an entire Russian choir in one song and a few other nice things.

Great reaction! You NEED to check out sabaton uprising live at woodstock poland 2012
Sabaton has a whole Playlist with live videos from there Great Tour 2020, just before the lockdowns. I suggest the one in Gothenburg, with subtitles because its in Swedish.
Watch Sabaton live in Wacken, it’s great and their concert in Denver CO … plus I’m new to Amaranthe and I can’t get over how deep that guy’s voice is!! Don’t know his name but Eliza’s voice is WOW
I am in that crowd, and was heving the time of this hear.
Hey OldSkuleNerd, great reaction!

If I could ask you to react to Dust to Dust @kOiU their opening song of their 2nd. Album Queen of the Murder Scene, released in 2018 at this performance they are 18,16,13 respectably. A Rock Opera and in my opinion a masterpiece! They are singer-songwriters who a young age writing amazing lyrics trust me they will blow your mind! SUB!
I'm originally from southeast Louisiana, move to Florida due to Katrina, hope you and your family came out ok with all these hurricanes that hit the area this year.

Interviewer: Do you guys have a tank
Sabaton: No... We have two
You have a great personality😊 keep exploring Sabaton and share it with us.
I was at their concert in January 2020 in Prague and it was amazing ❤️
ghost division at wacken germany buddy what a song...much love from england...
Having seen them live myself...I can confirm that they sound as good if not better live! Hammerfall opened for them.
SABATON is awesome live they have great time on stage love this song WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT I CHOOSE AMARANTHE VERSION OVER SABATON BUT TWO DIFFERENT VIDEOS BOTH ARE AWESOME C-YA
I was waiting to see if you did this one... Ok, I can sub now.
🤘😎
1st: On some concerts, Joachim's earpiece-wire looks like barbed wire.
2nd: Some time ago the truck carrying their "tank" (drumset stand) to a concert had an accident on the Autobahn. Imagine THAT discovery by the cops when they opened the back.
Love your reactions, love that you tell a story and comment on the musicians as well as the vocalists. I would recommend another Swedish band to check out and that's Avatar check out Hail the Apocalypse from Wacken 2015. The lead singer has both clean vocals and a growl. Hail the Apocalypse is all growl but I think you will enjoy it.
The tempos, vocal styles, mood, etc all change throughout these - check them out!
Devon Townsend - Kingdom
Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine
Slipknot - The Nameless
Lamb of God - Overlord
Mushroomhead - We Are the Truth
To see live stuff from Sabaton I would recommend the Great tour videos as well as the footage from Woodstock 2012 (Especially 40:1 and Uprising). Oh and you thought the tank on stage was epic, Watch Red Baron live .. they have a plane on stage too!
Oh you should check out some Melodic death metal too.. it's death metal vocals with old school/power metal music. Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy and Dark Tranquillity is some amazing examples of this.
If you like comparing bands, amaranthe has also done a cover of a powerwolf song called army of the night. Both versions are amazing. I think both versions will be right up your alley.
I found your channel through your nightwish reactions and I like they way you present yourself. I subscribed. I think I missed out on a big part of the past 5 years of metal being too preoccupied with my carrier, so I'm tagging along on your journey.
I don't know if anyone's told you yet, but the drummer of Sabaton is the husband of Floor Jansen from Nightwish!
Check out Sabatons Ghost Division Official live video, from Woodstock 2012 for more epic live performance.
There's at least one Sabaton live performance where the lead singer comes from off stage with a pyrotechnic modelled to look like a bazooka..... and fires it!
if you want to see their most epic live performance you have to check out ’en livstid i krig’ live from gothenburg. Remember to turn on subtitels
Don't know if you knew this, but the drummer for Sabaton is also Floor Jansens husband
Good reaction🇸🇪
You've probably been told before in comments, but I am too lazy to go throught them all, but that great drummer, that is Floor Jansen's husband. Gotta love Nordic metal 🤘
I would say the song you need to watch live from Sabaton is Attack of the Dead Men (Live - The Great Tour - London)
If you like the stage crew dress up, you should see the back up singers for the live performance of Great War.
I would say that you can't go wrong with Sabaton. But I recommend night witches live great tour, en livstid i krig live great tour put on sub, ghost division live Woodstock, 40:1 live Woodstock, uprising live Woodstock, the final solution, midway, no bullets fly, Wolfpack, fields of verdune video, seven pillars of wisdom, hell and back and so many many more
Sabaton is amazing in live show. Lead Singer (Joakim) is seriusly funny guy (if bit offensive for some).
Final chorus comes in like
*POWER METAL RANGERS ASSEMBLE*
Check out "En livstid i krig" live the Great Tour in Gothenburg. Its in Swedish so have caption on. Promise an epic performance!!!!
Nice reaction ;) I recommend "SABATON - The Red Baron (Live - The Great Tour - Berlin)" Greetings from Germany :)
There is also a video of this show filmed from the audience. No need to make a reaction video for that but i'm sure you want to see it.
If you want the full experience of sabaton you should watch the song "en livstid i krig" live in Gothenburg from the same tour they made :) you will be amazed. Put the subtitle on BTW :)
Hi from Sweden btw :)
Love your channel, keep it up! And love me some Sabaton & Amaranthe. Fields of Verdun by Sabaton is a must, as is Devil Dogs. As for Amaranthe - Hunger, Maximize, The Nexus, Helix, Viral will all give you a good taste of their style. Henrik (the growler) is featured heavily on "GG6" and "Boom!" and those should be checked out. "Amaranthine" is slower and an incredible display of Elise's vocals (keep in mind the clean male vocals are their original 3rd singer, not Nils). And as someone mentioned, Nils has another band Dynazty that is well worth a listen. Side note since it's almost Christmas - do yourself a favor and react to Nanowar of Steel's "Valhalleluja" if you've not heard it already. Incredible power metal talent and hysterical lyrics and video.
i was there :O
You may want to check out En Livstid I Krig live. Just have subtitles turned on.
Also, there are three songs from Wacken 2019 that are worth watching.
En Livstid I Krig live from Gothenburg (my home town), and watch it with subs for the full experience.
A few band suggestions: Slipknot, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, Alter Bridge, In This Moment, Trivium, Bullet For My Valentine, Spiritbox, etc.
Also more Jinjer, Nightwish, Unleash the Archers, Amaranthe, and Sabaton would be awesome! ... so basically ALL THE THINGS!!! 😆
Yes, welcome to THE rabbit Hole, THE great tour live videos. Once you seen Night witches and the pyro from that show you Will be stuck. Or the amazing video for "great war"
The pyro Will make you feel like new years Eve is for kids..
This is just My own conclusion, but the lights in the scene is blue when okay to stand om it. Yellow when pyro is coming.
There are several major Western female-fronted metal bands you should check out--Epica, Within Temptation, Delain, Ignea, Frozen Crown, Semblant and more. And then there is Japanese metal, from X-Japan and Loudness to Dir en Grey and Galneryus to Unlucky Morpheus (female lead) and Babymetal (impossible to define) to over a dozen all-female metal bands. You've done Nightwish, Band-Maid and Jinjer. A lot of people would say that completing the Big Five for reactors would mean reacting to Babymetal and Lovebites. I left you links in your Discussion channel!
From japan i suggest : band maid , lovebites and mary's blood to start 🤘🤘
"Ghost Division" live from Woodstock 2012 Poland
You should check-out "night witches live"
Check out Sabaton Ghost Division live from Woodstock
Dude, whenever i see Joakim almost trip at 7:08 i have a mini heart attack. So close to this awesome moment getting ruined by him faceplanting.
Probably has been said before. Their drummer is married to Floor Jansen with Nightwish. They met when Sabaton was touring with them.
I need to see these guys live!
Hello, if i may make some humble suggestions? Check out Sabaton's attack of the dead men, it tells the story of the true horror which was poison gas during WW1, and it is a very good song. Another band worth checking out is Amorphis, finnish band. Their song The bee is awesome, based on the finnish national poem the kalevala. For bands with female lead singers, check out Arch Enemy: The world is yours, and In this moment with the song The in between. Arch enemy has a singer who growls and In this moment has a singer who sings clean voice but is very powerful, they have some very deep texts. Did you know that the bassist from Nightwish Marco Hietala has his own band Tarot? Check their song Tides, it is so beautiful it is unbeliveable. Also, Nightwish song Shoemakter is worth listening to, it is a song about the astro geologist Eugene Shoemaker, the only human being buried on the moon, they sent his urn up there with a research probe. If you should tire of sheer metal check out Wardruna +Aurora and the song Helvegen, it is norwegian music based on viking traditions and traditional music and it is very powerful and soothing. There are tons of great bands out there, these were just a few. By the way, it is awesome to watch your reactions, you do know something about war history, most who does reactions doesnt know anything and it is in my eyes very sad.
Hi! Did you know that drummer Hannes is married to Floor Jansen? Man he's sooo lucky!
You should react too The Hu! They are a monoglian heavy metal band.
Btw love the videos with love from Sveden
You must react to en livstid i krig "a lifetime of war" from gothenburg it Will give you goosebumps, its in swedish bud the interaktion whith the crowd is fantastic🤘
Creating a monster, fine by me😁
"En Livstid i Krig" from gothenburg is a must! Use subtitles to roughly understand.
Check out Lovebites, female power metal band. Just awesome..
Recommended songs: Holy War, Break The Wall, Swan Song
If anyone is interested in Nils Molin's singing, the male vocalist from Amaranthe, I suggest you check his band Dynazty. Last two albums "The Dark Delight" and "Firesign" are going to get stuck in repeat for a while. Sorry NOT sorry for that.
Loved your reaction! You HAVE to react to Escapism by William Jacobsen, it's such a vivid and colorful instrumental journey, you'd love it!!
pretty sure sabaton used a replica StuG as stageprop, you know, cuz stug-li(f)ve
Radio Tupok does a great Russian cover of Sabaton songs that you should check out.
Not sure whether someone already pointed you towards them, but if you like the clean vocalist from Amaranthe, you should lend an ear to the band Dynazty. :)
im getting old. I just realized i have a hard time with "clean" singingvoices.
I'm going throw my sugestion in with Dream Theater's - Scene Two: I. Overture 1928. Each member of this band is so incredibly talented and they work so damn well with each other, I think once you get a taste of Dream Theater you'll never look back.
I'd love to see what you think of Dream Theater!
You should react to Sabaton - Screaming Eagles if you liked 82nd all the way. It is about the siege of Bastogne.
You should really listen to some Trivium, they have so many great songs and there are almost no reacts on youtube :( I recommend What The Dead Men Say from their latest album or Shogun from an older album. Shogun is a 11 minute masterpice
enjoying you videos :)
If I’m. It mistaken they can sing all there music in 9 languages
i love elize ryd!!
The red baron (live)
I think fireworks should be there but since Amaranthe singer was still on the stage they didnt go with it. So other Amaranthe singer pulled him off but then it was to late for fireworks.
You want epic videos Amaranthe has an incredible director some of their videos are movie quality like Hunger The Nexus Burn With Me n their newest BOOM!1
Nice! Your channel/this video just showed up for me. Like/subbed. If you haven't already, I'd recommend checking out the Swedish metal band Avatar. (They're stage crew also were 'uniforms', but not military, lol). They are best in live videos, but also have incredibly creative and well-thought-out videos. Anything from Wacken 2015, PolandRock (2019, I believe).. smaller venues are just as good, too (like Let it Burn at Sticky Fingerz). \m/
you should have done the video that is viewed from the front so 4 videos in a row of the same song lol
You're damn right there are more bands to do! Rock and Metal have undergone a renaissance all over the world, and Americans are missing it because...don't get me started. One quibble: Stop calling yourself old. You told us you are 40-something. I'm willing to bet more than half your regular viewers are older than you. Just a hunch, but that's the audience demo at actual festivals, at least in the U.S. In Europe and Japan it's different, because rock and metal are cool and mainstream there. 😉
Yeah. . . that's Hannes on the tank, but he'd rather be on the Floor . . .
