Had Indy been a few years younger he would have been perfect for a film role as Karl XII. He looks like Karl but better (if the death mask and some paintings are considered reliable sources what he looked like).
@Rockyourassed The Russians mostly. Or we Swedes (at that time Finns considered Sweden as their fatherland and the Grand Duchy of Finland as their homeland) attacked the Russians. The 1600's were a period of relative peace in Finland though as most Swedish wars took place in mainland Europe.
@@Rockyourassed Correction: Finland was not "Part of Swedish Empire", they were the Swedish Empire. They were as much Swedes as Swedes. In Sweden, they were called Österlänningar (easterners). Finland as we know it first evolved during the Russian occupation.
Wow, i remember hearing this song on the radio and i got so excited. I worked in the Royal Life guard for 3 years and i have never seen more dedicated and loyal people anywhere else. I also recognize a few colleagues in some of the pictures (I think i was in one of them, i was at least somewhere in the background on several pictures/shots). So glad that Sabaton made a song about Livgardet and may them defend our capital and monarchy for another 500 years :)

Idea for Sabaton History: Sabaton history: Sabaton This episode should go all the way from when Joäkim was a keyboard player and cover all the album's from *fist for fight* to the production for *livgardet* . All previous and ongoing members of the band can be covered as well.
Italy and Germany was born in the mid 1800s. Greece became independent 1921. Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Norway, Ukraine, Czechia, and Belarus was born in the early 1900s. Yugoslavia was later on broken up into a bunch of new countries in the 1990s. So very few countries have been independent for a long time. And almost the entire world aside from Turkey, Persia,Japan and China fell under European rule. And later on declared independence after WW2. And most colonies in America only became independent countries in the 1800s.
@@nattygsbord I don't consider Greece, Poland, Czechia, Norway or Lithuania for example as new states. They all have much much longer history. First Czech state for example existed in 9th century. It depends from which side you look at it. Yes these actual states exist from 20th century mostly. Czechoslovakia and Poland establishes in 1918 for example but before that they were countries in medieval times and also later. Czechs became part of Austria in 17th century, Poland became part of Prussia, Austria and Russia in 18th century. They were just resurrected.
The reasoning given here for the cancelled collaboration is extremely vague compared to what happened. The Swedish Army Staff Office had initially approved the collaboration, but when it surfaced that Sabaton had performed for the Night Wolves (Motorcycle organisation from Russia with close ties to Putin) in occupied Crimea back in 2015 (and not acknowledging how controversial that looks), they decided that as part of the Swedish State they couldn't work with the band because of the implications that meant since the Swedish government still considers Crimea to be illegally occupied. I say this as a massive fan of Sabaton, and as a soldier in the SweAF; unfortunate, but understandable.
@@weybye91 politics, especially international politics, is a sensitive subject. While u may think it's not that big of a deal, or even if Ukrainian fans think it's not that big of a deal, it doesn't mean everyone is ok with that. I mean, even without the whole Crimea things, it'd still be understandable if any governments decided to have nothing to do with Sabaton.
Heard this on the radio two days ago. I was in Gothenburg so I was listening to Pirate Rock. They played a Sabaton triple: En Livstid i Krig, Carolus Rex and Livgardet. Poor Scania speakers, hope I didn't blast you.
Oh you will be celebrating your 500 year anniversary of creation of modern Sweden in two years. That is interesting. Hope you enjoy it and honor the anniversary Sweden. Hopefully the pandemic will be completely over by that time. We ourselves here in Hellas will be celebrating the 200 year anniversary since the beginning of the revolution of 1821 that eventually led ten years later to the creation of the our modern state. Long Live Sabaton and Time Ghost
The army still loves Sabaton and this is a well-known fact, nothing has changed and the Swedish military has now shared the new song Livgardet and thanked sabaton for it on their Facebook page. Sweden doesn't like Russia and for good reasons. It's a dictatorship and we've had wars with them in the past. The Swedish army's decision not to cooperate with Sabaton was because of their playing in Crimea. Sabaton did this however before it got very infected and probably didn't think too much about the political consequences behind it. They're a band after all not a political entity. The Swedish army however is very political and has serious responsibilities that go past the enjoyment of music. Sabaton however has no liking to Putin or his fascist government and the army knows this. Hence why if you look at Försvarsmakten's Facebook you'll see them sharing the Livgardet song and thanking Sabaton for it. People in the Swedish army love Sabaton and the army likes Sabaton in general. This was not personal it was just politics.
The song is great, it is nice to see Pär and Indy back in this setting once again. The fans will love it, it will be a concert favorite, I would wager the military establishment will come around at some point and accept the gift of the song.
I am a proud ex-RO-officer in the Royal Guard, the Livgardet. I did not hear you mention the Livgardet motto - Possunt Nec Posse Videntur, they did what seemed impossible. Through history, that motto was earned in many battles over the centuries. When I was active, Livgardet specialised in two main things, mechanized and urban combat. We trained to be the first into battle to protect not just the King and country's leadership, but to repell any attack on our Capital. These are of course also the objectives today. I feel very grateful that Sabaton made an exception and accepted the Swedish army's request to create this song.
@@judahbenwinchester7009 On the 30th of November 1718, Karl XII was fatally shot from the Norwegian fort of Fredriksten. Hence the reference to 1718, and a trigger happy Norwegian.
@@daspotato895 No one can say for sure that he was killed by a Norwegian, might as well have been a Swedish soldier in a plot to divert the Swedish political landscape from its warpath. Karl XII spent most of his time abroad, some powerful families ought to have disliked that? However, Norwegian researchers, Swedish included, have in recent years leaned towards him being killed by a canister shot, shot from a Norwegian cannon.
The Swedish army still loves Sabaton and this is a well-known fact, nothing has changed and the Swedish military has now shared the new song Livgardet and thanked sabaton for it on their Facebook page.

Jag saknar sånger om krigen som vi utförde här i Göteborg. Rikets värn i väst stod pall trots alla anfall. Hade vart underbart att höra Sabatons tolkning på slaget om Göteborg 1719. Länge leve Löjtnant Lillie!
My ancestor were a Drabant (royal guard) for Karl XII and fought in battle of Poltava. But he survived and followed Karl to Bender in Ottoman empire. That is what it says in the notes about him when i did family research.
@@westondonaldson3569 Yes indeed. Many Swedes have similar family history. Mostly just i know about in the family though I'm the only one that has done the family research and its so distant that its not a big reaction when i tell about it.

New Sabaton History content is the best way to get through the middle of the week! And this new song will tide me over until the next album and I can see you on tour again! Thanks guys! 🤘🥰❤
Great recap. But I wish they would go more into the military history of the unit. Like the short mentions of at least a few massive battles they've played a major part in. Which in my opinion is the most badass part. After all they were first and foremost the fighting vanguard part of the army, which makes them diametrically opposite to most Royal Guards of the world whos sole purpose was to protect the monarch and stand by him at all times.

"Livgardet"is an absolutely epic and Wonderful song that made me wanna know more about Sweden which I love so bad !!!! ❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪(You see ,when it comes to its history I only was aware about its involvement in 30-years war under Gustav Adolf,the existence of Christina and some basics about their great Northern ,where it seemed to me as the" bad guy "that wanted to mess with Great Peter ...)And now with this magnificent video that actually happened ! The only thing that I can tell to Sabaton it's a big "THANK YOU!"🥰🥰🥰You guys are awesome!🤩🤩🤩 From a Greek history freak ...🇬🇷🤪🇬🇷🤪🇬🇷🤪[That also happens to be a drawer...I've already made a painting about the "Red Baron",one about the crusades inspired by "The Last Stand" (which I know that is actually about the Sack of Rome ,but I love so much to associate it with crusades!I just can't help it ...😅😅😅),and now I'm working in one about "The Attack of the Dead Men" .I also want to make one about "Winged Hussars"and "Livgardet")
This is one of those songs that you can tell it was just designed with national pride in mind. Like when you listen to the American National anthem, or perhaps even when johnny comes marching home. Just classically american things. Even if you aren't American, I'm sure you could get a sense of national pride from it. I respect national pride. I'm not swedish, but i do respect this song, and what it represents. Because as an american, i too have songs like it. And i understand the pride that can come with it. Great song.
@@SabatonHistory Hey, i always appreciate a sabaton song, you guys make epic music. Just this one in particular hit different because of it's thematic. :)
Now I want to see a show about the Livgarde in the style of the BBC "Musketeers" show, where they're played by Sabaton going around thwarting assassinations and spies.
An extremely popular, very proud to be Swedish, metal band is turned away because they played for fans that were not approved. It is sad. A great song about a great subject. The two sides of my family came from Lithuania and from Sweden only 2 generations ago, I always wanted to be Scottish, because that seemed cooler, but I've learned to be proud of my Grandparents homeland, Sweden.

Caring about the opinion of the politically correct minority that is offended that we have a country at all seems to be more important as usual.
@@nattygsbord No its more like pissing off a bunch of other countries considering the reason for breaking off the partnership is because sabaton played at a festival in crimea, and sweden doesn't recognize russia's claim of ownership
@@Azraeltheangelofdeath If that is the case, the why don't the Swedish government cut all ties that do business with Russia? EU got economic sanctions against Russia. So why not just let IKEA be thrown under the bus by the Swedish government as well, is symbol-politics is so damn important.
@@nattygsbord Sweden doesn't like Russia and for good reasons. It's a dictatorship and we've had wars with them in the past. The Swedish army's decision not to cooperate with Sabaton was because of their playing in Crimea. Sabaton did this however before it got very infected and probably didn't think too much about the political consequences behind it. They're a band after all not a political entity. The Swedish army however is very political and has serious responsibilities that go past the enjoyment of music.
Sabaton however has no liking to Putin or his fascist government and the army knows this. Hence why if you look at Försvarsmakten's Facebook you'll see them sharing the Livgardet song and thanking Sabaton for it. People in the Swedish army love Sabaton and the army likes Sabaton in general. This was not personal it was just politics.
It wasn't the army that didn't want to, it was the government that thought it would be seen as political
YESSS FINALLY INDY IS BACK
i really love history and then i love your perfect channel ✌💥
We're happy to read that!
I was in the Swedish mounted Royal Dragoon guards. And war in the mounted band playing the trumpet.
I want that uniform they are wearing :c
I doubt you are the only one-those uniforms look awesome.
If you find a place that sells them please let me know ;D
We can understand. Unfortunately, it's not available 😉
love the song. just curious as to which will happen first, English version, or me getting far enough in my learning Swedish to understand the song.
Both can coexist
I love this video! Thank you so much for all you do sabaton, indy and crew!!!
A real shame the army backed out of the collaboration.
It wasn't the army though, they would've loved to have them, it's just political bullshit from our leftist government.
@@Fantasy_____________________ I was gonna say, Sweden is very left-leaning atm. Seems to hate its own past
This is on Sabaton in my opinion.
@@Fantasy_____________________ hahaha I had a feeling it might be but I didn't want to get political. What great honour for a band like Sabaton to sing about your deeds and accomplishments.
Typical Sabaton are right wing extremists storyline?
@@Fantasy_____________________ Did they say a reason why they didn't want Sabaton to do their song and back out? I kind of want to know their stupid reason.
"Livgardet"is an absolutely epic and Wonderful song that made me wanna know more about Sweden which I love so bad !!!!
❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪(You see ,when it comes to its history I only was aware about its involvement in 30-years war under Gustav Adolf,the existence of Christina and some basics about their great Northern ,where it seemed to me as the" bad guy "that wanted to mess with Great Peter ...)And now with this magnificent video that actually happened ! The only thing that I can tell to Sabaton it's a big "THANK YOU!"🥰🥰🥰You guys are awesome!🤩🤩🤩
From a Greek history freak ...🇬🇷🤪🇬🇷🤪🇬🇷🤪[That also happens to be a drawer...I've already made a painting about the "Red Baron",one about the crusades inspired by "The Last Stand" (which I know that is actually about the Sack of Rome ,but I love so much to associate it with crusades!I just can't help it ...😅😅😅),and now I'm working in one about "The Attack of the Dead Men" .I also want to make one about "Winged Hussars"and "Livgardet")
Ärat Livgardet Står!
Årat? Yes canooing the Lifeguard stands!
Where did you get those sick jackets from?
Those light blue uniforms are slick! They sure know how to dress 'em.
Where does the horse goes when a dragoon dismounts? I mean you cant just have an army of horses next to the battlefield
That is true, thats why you charge against the enemy on horseback. How you get the meat after battle too, just cut up nearest shot horse
It’s back!!!!! Yes! Let’s gooo!
Welcome back indeed
hey make a video about "Mad Jack" Churchill - John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill a real war hero
I want to know if it is deliberate that the chorus is the swedish/dannish/german hymn "härlig är jorden"
Why did I ever think that the Carolus Rex Album was boring?
Maybe time to take back what once was ours , the Chinese can have the Asian part of Russia🎉
I had wondered if this was indicative of the next album. Got my answer.
Great song!
Hold on a minute-
Hold on a minute-
what was the answer because they said they gonna record a album this year
@@ghostsdragon9222 They said in the video that it wasn't part of the new album.
so... If the King of Sweden decides to go to war, does the Livgardet has to march with him?
This is one of those songs that you can tell it was just designed with national pride in mind.
Like when you listen to the American National anthem, or perhaps even when johnny comes marching home.
Just classically american things. Even if you aren't American, I'm sure you could get a sense of national pride from it.
I respect national pride.
I'm not swedish, but i do respect this song, and what it represents. Because as an american, i too have songs like it.
And i understand the pride that can come with it.
Great song.
Thank you for appreciating our music!
@@SabatonHistory Hey, i always appreciate a sabaton song, you guys make epic music.
Just this one in particular hit different because of it's thematic. :)
Do the Scottish war's of independence
Please get them to find this give Scotland some love
No mention of the origins of this hymn.
First written by a German August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben in the 19th century.
Now I want to see a show about the Livgarde in the style of the BBC "Musketeers" show, where they're played by Sabaton going around thwarting assassinations and spies.
Dam fine looking Troops ! It’s a shame our soldiers in America do not look so dashing
I had to order a Livgardet hoodie!
You had to 😎
They're back boys!
An extremely popular, very proud to be Swedish, metal band is turned away because they played for fans that were not approved. It is sad. A great song about a great subject. The two sides of my family came from Lithuania and from Sweden only 2 generations ago, I always wanted to be Scottish, because that seemed cooler, but I've learned to be proud of my Grandparents homeland, Sweden.
The Redditors in the comment springing up to comment stale and vague "jokes" faster than the blitzkrieg.
Will you blame us? Sabaton made me patriotic for a country i don't even live in
What do you mean redditord?
@@antoniocenteno1483 Lmao reddit moment.
If I was the leader of a country, this would be the national anthem
😎 yeah!
