Two fantastic singers together do a cover a Sabaton song. Tommy was a member of Sabaton for many years, left earlier this year. This is an awesome cover 👏💯😍🎼🇸🇪 by the way, Erik was a member of Skid Row but left. Ty for your reaction 🙏
You looked happy anyway😂 Tommy was lead guitar in Sabaton for 7 years, he left this year to concentrate on his own band Majestica, he formed them, originally called Reinxeed, when he was 16. They are on my to-do list for you. I thought you were not ready for them yet😂😂
Thanks for comprehensive review.
You are steering in the right direction DaffyDil!
And what about Tommy and Chris together in Murder In the Skies?
@@carinarodebak9419 All of them methinks but thought 'Above The Sky' for starters😉
Majestica up next! Can't wait!
@@BackstreetGents Neither can we🤣🤣
I really enjoyed your reaction to this great collaboration! I see in the comments several have mentioned that until recently, Tommy was a guitarist for Sabaton. Anyway, thank you for the reaction! Team Tommy!
Fun fact, in addition to all other information, mentioned previously: Skidrow and 18 and a life is a milestone in Tommy J:s life also. In Tommys cover of 18 and a life ( on his channel) he states that he knew that he wanted to be a singer when he heard that song for the first time at the age of 15 ..its in the description to the video: ua-cam.com/video/ijvOkoAQqzM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Carolus Rex is a song about the coronation of the Swedish king Karl XII in 1697. It's from the album Carolus Rex (2012) all about the rise and fall of the Swedish Empire. IMO Sabaton's greatest album.
Erik left Skid Row to focus on himself. Because he just got free from leukemia. Erik was lead singer of H.E.A.T and recently lead singer in Skid Row
Tommy and Erik are so good togheter two extremly good singers. Etik won Swedish idol like 10 years ago and Tommy won the Swedish karaoke championship like 2008. So very good singers.
Had you looked properly, then Tommy is at home with him and does his part and Erik is at home with him and does his part. Sedan -made this on the computer by Tommy. I don't remember wrong, so Erik is brother -in -law to Tommy.
A little information about Sabaton, when I heard that you didn't know much about them.
Sabaton is a Swedish Power Metal band from Falun, which was formed in 1999. The band's songs are inspired by various historical wars. The band name is also militarily inspired, as Sabaton is also the name of the part of the armor that covers the foot. Sabaton has toured with Iron Maiden, Scorpions and Hammerfall, among others.
From 2022, they have released ten studio albums, including Carolus Rex, which was recorded in separate Swedish and English versions, certified gold in Poland and Platina in Sweden with 40,000 album sales, making it "one of the most successful Swedish heavy metals" album ever 'according to the band.

Yes Kim Arvidsson is his brother in law. He also did some covers wuth Tommy. And yes
Sabaton is Amazing!
Well, some background:
Erik Grönwall and Tommy J are both Swedish. Tommy was the lead guitarist in Sabaton (Swedish band).
Sabaton made a song about Carolus Rex, who was Karl XII, a Swedish king who was a big warrior (not always good), and in the early 18th century, Sweden was a superpower.
However, Karl XII lost a battle in Poltava 1709, when he, together with Ukraine, tried to fight the Russians out of Ukraine.
A tragic battle!
Do you get what this is about???
Somebody is fighting in Ukraine trying to get the attacking Russians out!
Sounds familiar???
What is the meaning of "Carolus Rex" and why was Charles XII given that name? Carolus Rex was the Latin name of Carl the 12th, King of Sweden (and Finland) 1697 to 1718. Rex in Latin means King. King Carl was a true power king and sat him self between God and the Church. So He was above all and destin to rule over all. And he was very young when he became King of Sweden, questend by many if he was to young.
Europa bävade! 🇸🇪
You guys should really check out Eriks covers he has a load of totally amazing covers.
That H.E.A.T album u all reviewed was Erik as the lead singer.
Ofcourse they put there own stamp on it, why would they copy it. It sounds like you dont know that Tommy was a part of Sabaton for 8 years. I found it a little bit strange when reactors really searching for things to pick on instead of focus on all the best parts. You almost sounded disapponted 🤔
I can assure you, Anita, these guys are English, as am I, and this is enthusiasm as only the Brits display😂 They liked it😊
Thanks ❤ they really fooled me 😂@@DaffyDill-zg8no
