You're spot on. The song (Originally a Motorhead song) was written specifically about the Battle of the Somme from WWI, but Sabaton is taking that and expanding the context to all soldiers. The idea of a bunch of soliders walking in solidarity is very powerful.
I think that your English speaking and comprehension is very good actually! I think your main future growth will come simply from continuing to expand your vocabulary!!
My great great Uncle Ernie was a gunner in the 18X Trench Mortar Battery, he hailed from Ely, Cambridgeshire England, sadly he never returned to his native soil, her perished as a prisoner of war in July 1918, and is buried in Brandenburg Germany. He left behind a fiancée, his mother , 3 brothers and a sister. I don't even have a picture of him, but his fiancée was a school teacher who taught my grandpa and said he looked like his uncle. ❤
He fought in those trenches, the mud, and was on the front lines
From this sad video I assume it is based on the soldiers brave sacrifices of WWI 1914 to 1918. So many lives lost, I learned of my Uncle Ernie through his niece , my great aunt Gertie she was born in 1910 and passed at 105 in 2016.
Seems like a long time ago until one talks to the older generation who lost a loved one. ❤
I think it's good that they had the Sikh soldier in the video. They were with us at Gallipoli and the western front yet they are often unmentioned.
This song is a cover of Motorheads song from 1991.
Edit. The video does not explain it well, but there was a system called "pals battalions" in the earlier parts of the first world war. Basically you and your friends could join up with other people from your town and county. (I guess you have Provinces instead of counties in your country?) As you can imagine, if one of those battalions took a lot of losses, an entire town could lose most of their young men. They stopped that system afterwards so losses would be spread out over the country rather than one town, city or county.
Sabaton is amazing ! Lemmy’s version is so true and grounded in him and his heritage. Sabaton pays such a beautiful tribute and manage to broaden the message to all soldiers .. no matter the conflict AND pay homage to so many stories they conveyed over the years. Just amazing 🔥!!!
Battle of the Somme was mud, the heavy cannons got stuck in that mud, the calvary as well, basically those poor men were sent to their deaths, the Battle of the Somme was one of the most devastating losses of WWI. The British army was ill prepared. 😢
It did what it was supposed to do though and relieved pressure on the French at Verdun. The poor training of British artillery crews in the new tactics hurt them terribly.
If the somme was a sea of mud, passchendale was a bottomless abyss of it. Literally drowning in mud
The Somme was a sea of mud because it had rained the heaviest rain for the last 30 years. Then add in artillery churning up the ground and creating pools that gathered more of the water, and you get one of the worst kinds of battlefields to fight across. Slowing your advance and leaving little to no cover.
Didnt matter where they fought at the line, it was hell everywhere
The mistake was British high command. Yes, they shelled the German line for 7 days and nights, and on the 8th day they thought there wouldn't be any resistance, but the germans actually moved their lines back, and when the first wave, which comprised the Manchester regiment and others, was cut to pieces by the german artillery in the first hour, so 20,000 were killed, wounded, or missing, but the British kept throwing bodies at the German line.
"1916" was a Motorhead song. Sabaton does a wonderful cover in tribute to Lemmy and Motorhead
I love this lad's attire. The beard too, that beard is glorious.
Lol thank you, the beard needs a trim though 🙂
The success of the original song and this cover, is that even if you have no context on WW1, the lyrics are still able to tell the story. You don't have to be some mega nerd on history to understand it.
I didnt realize Motorhead sung this song first. Seeing Motorhead banner then the other guys in the band and the picture of Lemmy I had to go look up info, listen to the original, etc.
Very moving tribute to Lemmy and the many lives lost because of war.
You are so right about the community! And good luck with your personal issues.
[I hope you'll forgive a pasted comment, it took me a while to write the first time.] I saw Sabaton perform this live in Leeds on the first night of the current tour, and it was so emotional. So let's raise a few glasses: to Birmingham, birthplace of metal; to Lemmy (RIP); to Sabaton; and to those who sacrificed so much. My wife's grandfather was one of those who lied about his age - he was only _14_ when he went to the Front! He got out alive, thanks to some amazing luck: he was wounded and taken to a field hospital, and his own father was there at the same time. He swore a lot when he saw his son, then wrote to his wife back home explaining the situation. She in turn sent evidence of their boy's age to the War Office and they pulled him out. After he came home he never spoke to anyone in the family about his experiences. Greetings from South Yorkshire - Lest We Forget.
Lemmy wrote the original of this Song. On the 1916 Album. You can see his bandmembers holding his picture in the marche.
The thing about war that a lot of people don't realize is that there are no winners in war. Yes, a nation as a whole may be victorious, however, for those who fought on the battlefield, there will never be any semblance of victory. For the losers die and the "winners" come back mentally and physically scared for life.
I remember two quotes on it, one of which is by H.G. Wells.
"If we don't end war, the war will end us" & "Only the dead have seen an end to war"
In a war, the only winner is Death.
The Motörhead flag/banner is because Motörhead performed/wrote the original version of the song.
And that flag and the other flags replicate the cover of Motörhead album 1916!
Sabaton has a history channel. They give you the story and background information on all the songs they have written. They make sure to learn all that that they can about the events and people they write and sing about. They care very much about honoring the events/people. They take no side or political position. They just tell the stories so that we never forget those who have given their lives for their countries through time.
I first heard 1916 by Motörhead a few weeks before this release on a German rock radio and I was impressed. Never thought Motörhead wrote such a great song back in 1991.
And now Sabaton delivered this absolutely masterpiece as a trubite to Lemmy and Motörhead and to all soldiers of different ages.
Heard this song more than 30 times now and it hits every time. The brilliant way of telling stories about what happened in the past and teaching history makes them my favourite band for years.
They did more than just a tribute to Motörhead but a tribute to all fallen soldiers in history.
All the different soldiers from different ages refer to specific Sabaton songs. The Lady coming out of the dark ally is one of the Night Witches. The convertible car refers to the car where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot in Sarajevo which caused WWI. And at the end of the song was "The Old Pub" the B17 bomber from the song No bullets fly... just to name some.
>> Did you know that Sabaton received the "Enlightener of the Year Award 2022"? Sabaton is the "FIRST EVER ROCK BAND to receive this prestigious accolade!!"
I encourage you to check out more Sabaton songs and their channel called Sabaton History on UA-cam.
You can only amagine what we could do If we playsed all geografi, religion, skincolor a side and just realised that we are all human with all our faults and gains. What a beautiful world it would be as Louis Armstrong sang back in september in 1967❤️.
I said it to other reactors, Lemmy was a genius writing this piece. When you listen to the original song, it sounds like funeral march. And that is exactly what this battle was, a march to their own funeral for these young kids/men that wanted to be "war heroes", like their grandfathers in napoleonic times. But WW1 was the first technical advanced war, with machine guns and modern artillery. Tactics thou were still suck in napoleonic times. Atack the enemy line.... against machine guns......
WE Never learn about these things in US schools, since the Battle of the Somme didn't involve the US, they don't teach it.
Now I know why the Battle of the Somme was so horriffic, and it was a Swedish heavy metal band that taught me this, not the school system!
We learned of this in Canada. I learned of my family history by talking to the older gens ❤
they were in the history book you lugged around and didn't read from. Lots of stuff the teachers now forcefeed into of students is full of Marxist garbage. look up Thomas Sowell videos on what you are not taught about slavery
My great grandfather fought at the 2nd Battle of the Somme in the 30th ID US Army under Rawlinson. I only know because I have his discharge paper.
I was taught it, we didn’t go over much about the specifics but we were atleast told about the battle. Though it was in a World History class for my Junior Year
My heart melt when people of other cultures embrace my own. And I aswell am drawn, and love to learn from other cultures. I hope we can make a bigger mark in history than the people who do bad thing to others. Much love from Sweden, and thank you
I just saw Sabaton live in Finland, two days ago on Friday the 19th, for (I think) the last couple concerts of their tour. They played this song. The entire audience was moved, singing along, and during this song I cried in the stands. First time I ever saw them live, unforgettable, and the connection between them and fans was SO strong.
I had to get this cover's official Sabaton merch t-shirt. It's my first Sabaton shirt, and a nod to both them AND Lemmy Kilmister, and a tribute to all those forgotten, lost lives, lost soldiers - "with a thirst for the Hun, we were food for the gun". War is madness, no matter when, where and how. Really appreciate your reaction, and you are spot on correct about the emotions, and the spirit of Lemmy, and the spirit of Motörhead - with also that of Sabaton in there. Thank you for reacting and sharing!
As you realised, this is a cover of a Motorhead song, thus the references to them in the video. I would urge you to seek that version out. It is more understated than this cover, and I personally prefer it, although the Sabaton version is excellent. There is no official video for the original but there are fan-made ones on UA-cam, or just lyric videos if you prefer. The two surviving members of Motorhead have a cameo in the video (the two guys standing in the doorway and later marching either side of the guy carrying Lemmy's photo - their old tour manager I believe). That was a brilliant touch by Sabaton to include them.
I understand he's now Sabaton tour manager and used to be for Motörhead.
I guess that's kind of an inside contact to get the remaining Motörhead guys to show up ❤
AND Tommy ( the blond guitarist) has played with Mikkey Dee in Sweden on ”Bingolotto” behind Nina Söderqvist (Breath) .. so many connections .. and so much respect ☀️
There’s a really great movie about the First World War called 1917; it looks like the entire movie was shot in one take (it wasn’t, but they did do as many very long takes as possible) and it really immerses you into the lives of the two soldiers it follows. It’s just about a perfect movie, imo, and really inventive in its storytelling. It’s one of my favorites! I love getting to see all these new bands and songs and learn about them with you! Please give your kitties some pets from their aunt Sarah and tell Chester I’m really proud of how well he’s getting along with everyone! 😊
Hey Sarah, sure I'll be keeping your recommendation in mind but as said in the video towards the end. A lot has been going around with me personally in recent times that I need to take time off watching any movies. I'm sure you've been following my Patreon posts on trybals to know more. Thank you for all your love for the kitties, I wish someday all of them could be here at the studio, each one of them has a distinct character and charm of their own. They feel uncomfortable at other places so it's hard for others to join me here but I'd love them here someday. I hope you are doing great and making some awesome art too. Hope your health is better now. Take care.
@@adnanatthemovies Yeah, sorry, I typed my comment before I got to the part where you talked about taking a break from movies. It’s all good! It’ll still be there whenever you want to watch it, if you decide to 😊 My cats don’t enjoy going anywhere either, they love just being home! But so do I, haha! Take care of yourself and make sure you’re meeting your own needs too, my friend! 😊
🤗❤️🌹
@@adnanatthemovies Please reaction to the original version. Motorhead - 1916! More emotional!
@@adnanatthemovies I second Sarah's recommendation of 1917. And I'll also add "All quiet on the western front" (both the 1930s and the 2022 versions) to this list. Very hard to watch at times, but they show the harsh truth of war and do not depict it as something heroic.
This was about the Battle of the Somme (1 July -18 Nov 1916) but this hits so true for any solder from the Dawn of history to now through to the Future! Makes me want to learn not just about the northern Lads who fell but others and remember all their names so they are never forgotten
I've watched a lot of trybals videos in the past, but I never realised you were so articulate in English! I like that you know Tina Guo and Hans Zimmer (and Sabaton of course!). Thanks for your thoughtful reaction, I look forward to watching more of your thoughts on whatever interests you. Love from Australia. 🦘
Tina has worked with Sabaton before! When you delve deeper into Sabaton you'll hear her more.
And a very good reaction - you understood the key messages very early.
Subbed.
I was accredited as photographer at the Sabaton concert in Hannover last week. I am just having a break from selecting the photos and what could be better, than a reaction video to Sabaton?
1916 was live also extremely powerful. It gave me goosebumps and also wet eyes within the pit.
Just like Christmas Truce, where they had a burning piano on stage, Tommy standing on it. It gave me an already now favorite shot of mine.
The impact also of all diff kinds of people marching says to me that your friend/relative/stranger be them a metal head or a punk rocker, or a mailman etc..war binds us all in unity and these differences no longer matter when you wear the same uniform. Flesh is no armor against machine guns. No matter where you are from, your country has had a war. This is a sobering reminder today of Ukraine, and that there are large powers in this world that could turn their attention to any of our countries tomorrow and the next songs could be about us. When will we learn….never 😢 the other important thing that hits me is these boys lied about their age so they could VOLUNTEER!! Not be drafted, but at 14/15 say they were older to go fight when many had no idea what war really was. They just knew their country was being threatened and they went. I don’t know any 15 yo kids that prob even know what ww1 was about or when it happened, never mind put their phones down to go fight. It’s up to us all to teach them!! Freedom is not a lifetime guarantee!! Some countries aren’t even free today. Remember the debts that we owe others that came before us will need to be paid forward someday. I only pray not in my lifetime. Love and prayers to all who have served. ❤
Wanted to say I enjoyed your comments about the video and your English is just fine. We can use the subtitles if need be. Not everyone speaks English as a first language, nor should they be expected to do so. Subscribed. I agree that sabaton has a very unique ability to make us all want to educate ourselves on war history from everywhere, no matter where we are from. I flunked history twice in college and then finally passed with a d. So the fact that after I watch a sabaton video I immediately start researching (on the internet/buying books/watching movies) those events on my own is a testament to them. And proves that music can move people to do all kinds of things. I have learned more about history in the last two years than I did in all 22 years of school. 🤘🤘
I am a Bit of a history nut and it must not be forgotten the contribution of What is now Pakistan and India soldiers in the first world War.
the loss of someone you serve with is very much like losing a family member. i will never be as close to my siblings as i am with the guys i served with. not a day goes by that i dont think about my buddies who didnt come home. i can only hope they are waiting for me on the other side. there is a very special bond between those who serve together. it is hard to understand unless you have been there.
All soldiers, regardless of nation of ccreed, are defenders and protectors. and this song encasulates the deep desire within all soldiers to do just that. To protect your nation and your people. And it's a beautifull memorial to a side of soldiery that seems to be mostly forgotten in modern times
The different characters in the video marching are characters from other Sabaton songs.
The uniformed girl coming out from the alley is one of the Night Witches for example.
I don’t think so, as Night Witches fought in men’s uniforms, on the other hand the female soldier in video wears woman’s uniform and overall is very feminine. Also in credits she is noted as Ivy Valentine from ATS (Auxiliary territorial service - women’s british army branch in WW2), so definitely not one of russian NW. Didn’t find any info about her, but I found out that princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II.) and Winston Churchil’s daughter (I believe her name was Mary) both served in ATS during WW2.
I think the silent airplanes above are the nightwitches
@@katarinawikholm5873 Yes either that or Aces in exiles if you refer to the planes she look on in the sky.
Looks like Spitfires but there can be a double meaning too.
The biplanes in the end can also be both Night Witches and Red Baron, but the B17 right after is definitely Ye Olde Pub from No bullets fly.
Love it! Very powerful.
"The first rule of war is young men die. The second is that nobody can change rule one..." --Lt. Colonel Henry Blake, MASH 4077th
RIP to those who did not grow old...
I love this song. Emotional to me.
As soon as you said you were part of Trybals channel I subbed
Best of luck with this channel.and amazing reaction
Thank you 😊❤️🌹
I highly recommend watching the Lemmy film 49 51, it's not a full documentary, but you get a glimpse into his life, and there is also an interview from 1995 where he talks about how he had seen soldiers from World War 2 working on the farms in England, since he was born right as the War ended
finally i see and hear a pakistani listening to metal👍👍👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
i really liked your reaction!
you eminate a sort of dignity and humility which is really enjoyable/respectable.
In roughly 10 minutes, 152 men died. Every 10 minutes of the battle. The Battle lasted 142 days, that is roughly 4 months. 31.5 per foot. 103.5 per meter. 7.5 inches for every soldier that died, roughly. War is a travesty, it is utterly inhuman horror in the totality of its violence. The Somme was just one battle in this war. There are several examples of major battles during WW1 that compare to the level of death and destruction, though none were quite as bad. This battle is in fact not the deadliest one, was not in this war. That macabre award goes to Stalingrad of WW2 fame. An entire travesty on its own whose death-count rivals most actual wars fought in history. History is extremely important to remember, those who lived it; and died in it do not have the luxury to live on, nor should we have the luxury to forget. I strongly recommend that you find a point in history and study it. We as a species have a responsibility to remember and if the internet ever dies, it will be a lot harder to do so. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. I apologize as an American, I use the Imperial system, so to truly understand the depth you may have to use the internet to change it over to Metric.
Night Witches is an amazing video about women pilots.
I was thinking, "This man looks so familiar!" That is right, you run the other channel. I love that channel and those individuals. And I love this channel. You seem like such an analytical thinker, not to mention, you are very sweet and non-judgmental. I absolutely adore you. I am binge watching all your videos right now.
That is so nice of you Fiona 🤗❤️🌹
The British Indian Army (drawn from what is now Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka)
numbered 1 000 000 men.
Khudadad Khan, who came from the Punjab, was the first Indian to receive the Victoria Cross
in October 1914 and several others followed.
Khudadad Ji lived until 1971 in Pakistan.
Flex Singh, the actor you noticed, is playing Sergeant Awal Nur
who it is worth checking up on.
In the British Indian Army virtually all the troops wore turbans
so wearing a turban does not mean in 1916 he was a Sikh
But the actor Flex Singh is a Sikh.
Love the content my friend. Thank you for your work and willingness to share with us. God bless.
I will be playing this song on 11-11 at 11:00 am
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings about music. It was most interesting. You have a great channel 😊
Lemmy was great at writing songs was lucky enough to meet him n Ronnie James Dio 11+ times over 30 years
Motörhead released the album 1916 in 1991 .
Lemmy Kilmister was an amazing singer and songwriter. He also is an author of lyrics of one of Ozzy Osbourne’s most famous song “Mama, I’m coming home”, also released in 1991. :-)
I am not super familiar with Sabaton, but I do love some Motorhead! Cool vid
here in England was two towns that lost all males in that battle, cant remember what towns it was tho, somewhere in yorkshire. imagen the losses. unbelivable
Tina Guo also played on the Sabaton song "Steel Commanders" and in the video.
She also did a live recording with them of "Swedish Pagans."
Very nice reaction, thx.
The Sikhs have a long history in the British military
Yeas, tribute to Lemmy but also fallen soldiers..rest in peace
You are great, mate
regardless of the flags we fight under, all soldiers fight for God and Country and i respect and call every active soldier, sailor, airmen in recognized militaries my brother or sister..
respect solder😢😢
all the dead are marching
Sabaton covered the song 1916 from Motorhead :)
✌
Camera konsa used karte ho?
Floreeeence. You've got the love.
Shes an angel. Or a devil.
The "Cymbal" you mean is a snare ;-)
I like your hat. wher did I get some?
Those are handmade, significant to our culture of Sindh.
And in 2023 trench warfare has come back the Europe.
Motörhead? Or Motherland.
Motorhead, it's an English band 🙂
You are great, mate
