A METAL SEA SHANTY?? | SABATON - The Last Stand (Official Music Video) FIRST TIME REACTION!

[@martin6181]

Ok, welcome to the Sabaton family. I see most of them have been told in other posts so I'll just give a list of songs you really ought to listen to: "Christmas Truce", "1916" a Motörhead cover, "En livstid i krig" Gothenburg consert - it's in Swedish but there are subtitles, "No Bullets Fly" - the animated story, "Swedish Pagans" - Live at Wacken 2019, "Devil Dogs" and "82:nd all the way" is a good place to start.

[@greensky3152]

For Christmas Truce and 1916, the official music video would be best for a reaction. If you react to the performance of En Livstid I Krig at Gothenburg, be sure to turn on the subtitles. The lyrics are always important with Sabaton; every song tells a story. Also, with any Sabaton video, be sure to play it to the very end. (For videos that have credits, such as Christmas Truce, you should play it to the end of the credits.)

[@Templarofsteel88]

I was there in Gothenburg when they did en livstid i krig (a lifetime of war) and I can only agree with you on that one.

[@commanderblaze2094]

Another good one is Primo Victoria

[@knightspearhead5718]

Sabaton tells stories of history Usually focused on the militaristic side of it but they dont do it to glorify war but to honor the dead. They also have good crowd control and you cant help but to sing along with sabaton once you know the lyrics so in a way they are somewhat similar to sea shanties. This story/song in particular is about The Sack(Raid/Attack) of Rome in 1527 after Holy Roman Empire(Located where germany is today) Troops werent paid by there liege for attacking the papal states(Rome's territory) the soldiers chose to attack Rome out of pure greed without orders to do so. The story tells the bravery of a battalion of Swiss mercenaries who defended the pope. The Song En Livstid I Krig live @ Gothenburg is a must watch for all sabaton fans but be sure to turn on english subtitles when listening as its sung in there mother tongue Swedish The Sabaton fandom is very supportive but usually purely focuses on sabaton music so do with that information what you will.

[@Denozo88]

The liege was Charles V Holy Roman emperor. They were not just any swiss mercenaries they were the official papal guard.

[@zumogerstubchen2340]

They still are to this day.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

As we who love this band always say: Sabaton is the history teacher you didn't you know you needed! My favorite songs by Sabaton are 1. Bismarck 2. Defense of Moscow 3. Primo Victoria 4. Ghost Division 5. 40:1 6. Christmas Truce 7. Final Solution 8. Prisoner #4859 9. Night Witches* 10. No Bullets Fly* *Note: These two songs have animated videos from YarnHub explaining the history behind these events.

[@kingseb2252]

Sabaton is a swedish metal band they sing about battles heroes wars they also have a history channel where they go in depth about the history and a little about the song itself i highly recommend watching it

[@Silverfish2910]

The genre is called POWER METAL. It has all the hallmarks of what people think of is heavy metal. But it has speed, operatic themes, clean vocals, and speed. Lots of speed. Did I mention speed?

[@renatabronka5353]

Thanks, today i learned something

[@hencytjoe]

Additionally, it contains a lot of SPEED. And if you listen to some with high pitched vocals and songs about flying, fire spitting dragons and all that, they also contain some or a lot of speed.

[@DaveintheD-p4s]

Love your reaction to this. I've seen them live twice cuz my buddy loves Judas Priest and these guys opened both times. They have some great songs but this is the one that stays with me. I was vibing with you. 😊

[@SlayWithBrandy]

thank you!

[@bestevaar7195]

Sabaton does have some heavier songs like: Stormtroopers, Attero Dominatus, Ghost Division, Screaming Eagles

[@CaptianMac]

you think this is a sea shanty, you should try Bismarck by them. Other songs to try (I'm writing this wearing my Sabaton shirt) Ghost Division, Soldier of Heaven, and The Unkillable soldier. Need help finding any, let me know, I'll try and help. lol I think you'd like them too, this is about the average for heaviness. Also, all their songs are based on real military battles throughout history.

[@CaptianMac]

Also, as someone who has been to 2 concerts of theirs so far, what you said about hanging out with friends and being in a crowd singing along, thats exactly what happens at the shows.

[@SlayWithBrandy]

Thank you for the suggestions!!

[@Finkele1]

I just have read comments that Chris worked with church musician with this so I do hear like organ classical bits here and there...Not sea shanty.

[@johankarlsson3113]

​​@@SlayWithBrandy Hello. Lovley reaction as always 😊👍 Welcome to Sabaton army/family!😊 I got an idea of ​​​​​​​​​​​what you should do if you feel like it! And that is to react to all Sabaton's songs in all the albums they have! What I mean is to go all in with Sabaton, Even if it will take time as you react to other music too!😊 But it makes absolutely nothing if it will take time if you decide to do it! And the songs you have already reacted to, you can then skip if you want! I am sure you would have loved it and not regretted it! I want to recommend more songs to you too!😎 If there are some that you have already reacted to, you can ignore them!😊 Hellfighters The first soldier The valley of death Versailles Dreadnought Soldier of heaven Stormtroopers Steel commanders Kingdom come Metal trilogy Defense of Moscow The royal guard Fields of verdun A ghost in the trenches Great war official video 😉 Devil dogs 82nd all the way Seven pillars of wisdom All guns blazing😉 The last battle Shiroyama 7734 Man of war Hearts of iron Harley from hell Killing ground The Carolean's Prayer Long live the king Metal ripper White death Coat of arms The final solution The price of a mile Firestorm Cliffs of Gallipoli Endless nights Metal Crüe Nightchild Back in control In the name of god Metal machine Purple heart Wolfpack Panzer battalion. Remember that it's perfectly okay to show emotions and cry when listening to music in reaction videos, etc. I love your channel!❤️ love when you react and discover more of my favorite band!😎🤘 Sabaton has been my favorite band since they were formed in 1999 in Falun here in Sweden!🇸🇪 Warm and kind greetings from a big Sabaton fan in northern Sweden (Västerbotten) 🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@Bstrand22]

Yay, do more Sabaton! Try to go with their official music videos and live videos. They make awesome stuff

[@SlayWithBrandy]

Thank you!

[@dorlonelliott9368]

10+ albums to go. Sabatonic Metal - History taught with Metal. Check out their Sabaton History Channel for more details of the events/people behind the songs.

[@donovanwaters9403]

40 to 1 love at Woodstock definitely will meet expectations for the power metal you were expecting

[@prividinc]

Night Witches, No Bullets Fly, 1916, Christmas Truce, Bismarck, Shiroyama... All their songs are historically accurate about specific points and things that happened. They are remarkable and deep. They have no bad songs.

[@SlayWithBrandy]

ill need to check out more!

[@donovanwaters9403]

You have to react to Sabaton History The last stand next. It will blow your mind when you hear the history behind the song.

[@SlayWithBrandy]

I will totally check this out!!

[@kaivirkkala3213]

​Pay attention to all of the lyrics of Sabatons songs and you will have a great history lesson! You will not be dissapointed😊

[@stevenbligh9187]

They've really got a cool sound i like it.

[@SlayWithBrandy]

For sure!

[@najroe]

great reaction, more Sabaton please. Sabaton is a Swedish band with a loooong list of history based music. Sabaton also has an award winning history channel that gives background to over 100 if their songs (not music award, academic, aimed at education of the public) . Sabaton videos are often have dedictions and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but... watching to the very end is frequently well worth it. Animated STORY videos (short Animated history lessons with music videos in them) No bullets fly, enemy showing mercy to injured aircrew in a nearly wrecked aircraft barely still flying, even escorting them to safety. Night witches, Young (17-28) fenale bomber pilots in ww2 fighting the Nazi despite the discrimination they faced and being given obsolete equipment, aircraft ... Lady of the dark, female fighting alongside men during ww1 and being highly respected and even more decorated. Red baron, the famous fighter pilot of ww1 l first soldier, unlikely French hero in ww1. Epic ORIGINAL videos. Bismark, about the sinking of the ship Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914 40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939 (with odds actually close to 55:1 they held for 3 DAYS when ammunition and supplies ran out. Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising against the nazi germans during 1944. To hell and back, they tell the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face. Fields of verdun, the 300+ day long battle fought there. Price of a mile, about the battle of Passchendaele Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge Live performances 40:1 from poland Uprising from poland En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war. Two covers that are good Defence of Moscow, self explained 1916 about the devastating battle of the somme in ww1, casualties topped 1 milion if you count both sides, all for 6 miles of ground, these are just some, there are plenty more.

[@hakannorlings2439]

I hope you read the history behind the song before this! Sabaton have a history channel where they break down the history behind the songs! Their songs have a historic background that you can read about! Look at The Christmas truce, No bullets fly (animated with a really nice ending), Bismarck, 1916, The Night Witches and more..... Look up the history behind the songs before! In No bullets fly, the history is clear in the song.

[@kjelledbom1728]

i think u did a good reaction, now im gonna tell u a story. When i first saw this video, not the live one but the one with cinematics from Kingdom of heaven and The movie Arn, i actually thought this song was about the crusades. My son heard me mention this and he said "dad this is not about the crusades, its about the Swizz guards who protectcs the Pope" So im an old guy but i still loves to learn new shit so i watched the Sabaton history about this song and obv it became clear. It only made me love this song more, wonderfull story about people sacrificing their lives for something greater. I am not religeous, more or less an atheist but if i were a christian, i would use this song as a call to arms (so to speak) i dont like war but this is amazing song from an amazing band.

[@colcha]

Christmas Truce is the song to listen to from Sabaton. It is amazing and the video is wonderful.

[@nicks3766]

And make sure it's the official music video for the full hit to the feels.

[@ryantannar5301]

shantys have very specific traits despite how popular the term is. It's specifically a song with a very simple and strong rhythmic pulse set at a tempo designed to coordinate sailors doing a specific task. The songs were meant to keep men in sync when doing things like working pumps or tugging ropes where any man out of sync was working against the rest instead of contributing. That's a little hard to define in words but easy to explain with examples. The other thing is that they have to have been actually used for this purpose to be a true shanty. Since we don't do work this way anymore technically you can't have a new shanty. There's plenty of songs that fit the criteria except for that last part and while they're not true shanties they're close enough that I count them still. A good example of this would be Barrett's Privateers. It was written in the 20th century so doesn't count but when you hear it, it really should count. Even songs from history that sound like shanties often aren't. A lot of what people consider shanties were just drinking songs popular among sailors, but not shanties. One easy way to tell is if the song has a more complex rhythm in any part or if the vocals require pretty much any skill at all to sound decent. A skilled singer can make a shanty sound way better of course but the other vital part of a shanty was that it was something that your average sailor could sing along with. It's gotta be simple enough for non musicians to be able to pull it off. Sorry if that comes across as me being a know it all, I just tend to nerd out about music history. Please take this more as a spastic outburst of fun facts than someone correcting you.

[@BubbaFett00]

1916 and no bullets fly! My two favorites, they focus on real history and events that happened and somehow make great music about it.

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

SABATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

[@zessonateacloud]

I recommend any of their animated story videos. Those really show what they are all about. You get awesome music and the crazy true story that song is based on.

[@alancarter41]

Listen to "Swedish Pagans." It is the perfect song for rowing, in fact during live shows entire sections of the crowd have been known to sit together and row longships to England, axes high for plunder.

[@DanielKling]

You can't go wrong with Sabaton, but I would recommend watching their videos with subtitles on, the stories their songs tell are amazing.

[@Fede_Alonso]

This song makes me feel unworthy, I wish i were like the 189 Swiss Soldiers that gave their lives in an honorable way, for their faith ✝️

[@danielkarlsson258]

My Sabaton requests: "No bullets fly" (animated) "Uprising" (live from Woodstock in Poland) "En livstid i krig" ( live from Gothenburg - put subtitles on!) "Night Witches" (animated) "Lady of the dark" (animated) "Christams truce" (official video)

[@patrichagstedt4256]

Thanks from sweden on your reaction to Sabaton 😍

[@JouniKuusela]

sabaton is a new one for me but 1916 is very touching and heavy.nightwish is excellent too but totally different kind of vibe for me.those 2 are my favorites now.

more reacts of their music coming this week!

[@hakannorlings2439]

You should go and read about the last stand. Sabaton have a gastric background behind their songs that you can read about. Listen to Bismarck, The Christmas truce, No bullets fly (animated) and more.

[@revracentertainment]

I'm just surprised you know sabaton but not have heard the last stand. I knew this song for years before I knew sabaton

[@Nickallsopp92]

A metal sea shanty? Nah, not this one, but if you want to hear some metal sea shanties, I recommend Barret's Privateers by Alestorm and The Northwest Passage by Unleash the Archers. Both songs are legit shanties covered by metal bands.

[@ericseitz4819]

You need to watch “no bullets fly” animated video

[@SlayWithBrandy]

Adding it to my list!

[@tysonschroder9849]

Winged hussals that songs epic. About a battle that had massive huge impact on European history.

Sea shanty sounding choruses are fairly common in power, folk and melodic death metal.

Oh for sure! I just don’t listen to a lot of this type of metal so it’s new for me!

[@SharbtursGameCorner]

i recomend watching with captions on

My heart will go on lol

[@Murvelhund]

Want heavier Sabaton, maybe animated story video about the Night Witches, Ghost Division live in Woodstock or Screaming Eagles offical music video.

[@MarkoDash]

Sabaton's particular genre is called 'power metal' and tends to be more symphonic and uplifting than heavy metal.

[@SlayWithBrandy]

Oh for sure!

[@johndano7320]

You need uprising done in Poland. The hype by the Polish for the Warsaw uprising in 1944 is something to behold. They remember their history over there.

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

A little history on the history sang about here. In 1527, 20,000 mutinous men of the Holy Roman Emperor attacked Rome (why is a longer story than I'll tell here). They relatively easily overwhelmed the city's 5,000 militiamen defenders and 500 Swiss Guard and started to sack the city. The Pope was evacuated through the Passetto di Borgo, a secure passage that connects Vatican City to Castel Sant'Angelo. The Swiss Guard, whittled down to only 189, sent 42 men to escort the Pope while the remaining 147 engaged in a valiant Last Stand and were slaughtered to a man defending the steps up to the passage. I can also promise that this is one of their lightest songs. Listen to Ghost Division for the opposite.

[@derekpetersen7571]

I’m a new fan of yours

will do!

[@daviekuklatv]

this tune is more along the slower dedicated to the 189 Swiss Guards who died protecting the Pope in 1527 against an unpaid army who rose up and sacked Rome as retaliation for not being paid. Thus every time when selection rolls around 189 Swiss Guards are chosen. If you would like to hear heavier tunes by them, then I would select Ghost Divison or Stormtroopers

[@Yes-hi3tv]

“Wait, I have heard of them”. Casually puts down pitchfork😮‍💨. J.K. Lots of love. Based on joke in video. Please put down the pinch fork. It was joke.

[@BigBWolf90]

1. It's called the Holy See & it's the jurisdiction of Rome that is the head of the Catholic church & the Vatican City State 2. On May 6th 1527 189 Swiss Guard mercenaries stood their ground along with 5,000 militiamen against a force of 20,000 plus strong made up of German mercenaries, Spanish soldiers & Italian mercenaries who were in service to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in his war against Pope Clement VII decided to mutiny against Charles & plunder Rome & the Vatican. All 189 Swiss Guard died defending Clement's movement to Castel Sant'Angelo so he could be kept safe until a ransom was paid out to the mutinous pillagers. Swiss Guard were made the official bodyguards to whoever holds the office of Pope because of their dedication to their word & contract despite not having been paid themselves before the attack took place

[@emiljohansson2761]

Go look at the animated story of the red baron and Night witches

[@helheimx]

Great reaction, and now for the obligatory "Sabatons drummer Hannes Van Dahl is married to Floor from Nightwish" comment. if you like theatrical bands you should tjeck out Powerwolf, they are a german powermetal band that uses vampires werewolves and catholic iconografy i their songs and videos, i would recomend Demons are a girls best friend, sanctified by dynamite, or for some never stuff Beast of Gevudan or My will Be Done.

OMG did you say it sounds like a sea shanty, a song about the Swiss Guard who Guard and protect the Pope in the Vatican city. How far do you think that the Vatican in Rome is from the sea. For your information and this includes all Americans, Sea Shanty's come from British and other countries Fishermen and Sailors NOT a Metal Band from Sweden whose music and songs are about Military history, Wars, military heroes and other military historical events that are totally true. They do NOT sing sea shanty's, Disney songs, romantic songs or anything from game of thrones. They are a Metal Band from Sweden who sing about true historical military events and military heroes stories.
