FIRST TIME REACTION! - SABATON - STEEL COMMANDERS

[@lolaren55]

panzer is the german word for tank

[@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 120 if their songs (not music award, academic, aimed at education of the public) . Sabaton videos are often have dedications 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) female 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 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.

Thanks for all the great info! I'll definitely check out more of their catalogue!

🇸🇪🤘🇸🇪🤘 Sabaton plays what you can call War History Metal 🤘

[@B.RyanReactions]

Thanks for the info! Guess it's time for me to check out some more War History Metal!

[@helenesvanborg6234]

@@B.RyanReactions that would be really nice 😀

Seeing a good reaction to my favourite guys from Sweden, I have to leave a like! There are TONS of awesome stories to explore in the Sabaton rabbithole about and songs about so many countries, battles, conflicts and so on... just some of the most iconic songs to react to: "Ghost Division" live from Woodstock, "40:1" , also live from Woodstock, "Winged Hussars", "En livstid i krig" live from Gothenburg, "No Bullets Fly" original animated video, from the more recent albums "Christmas Truce", original music video, "Valley of Death", "Stormtroopers" , and for US history for example "Devil Dogs", "Midway" and "Screaming Eagles" Greetings from a Sabaton fan for 20 years from Germany

[@mudshark5393]

So this song is about the evolution of tanks, from the medieval knights through WW1 and WW2, and perhaps later models. Most Sabaton songs have an uplifting feel, there are exceptions tho. Their songs tend to be about the underdogs, and their extraordinary feats in face of certain defeat if not death. Other songs might be about famous events, technology or tactics. For some more tracks, there's "82nd all the way", "Stalingrad", "The Lost battalion", "Lion from the north", "Attack of the dead men", and "Cliffs of Gallipoli" ... there are many more, but we can't keep lining them all up.

[@B.RyanReactions]

Great info! I appreciate it!

[@anderswiik7432]

The greatest history teachers ever.Keep em coming please 🙏

[@susanjw7763]

This video was made by "War of gaming" and they created the games "world of tanks" and world of warships" The sister video to this song is "Bismark" want to hear more of Tina "Wonder Woman on the cello" Guo, there is Swedish Pagans/ to hell and back - Wacken 2019 ( pronounced Vahken) she also did the outro to "1916" They also have a sister channel "Sabaton History" where there are 126 mini documentaries and majority co-incide with a Sabaton song. Fun fact 1: Hannes Van Dahl ( the drummer) is married to Floor Jansen from Nightwish. Fun fact 2: they own 2 tanks and the drum riser is a tank which they have named "Audie Murphy"

[@huncut99]

Company is WARGAMING, not War of Gaming

[@susanjw7763]

@@huncut99 thanks - My phone autocorrected and I didn't realise the mistake.

[@TheMarktimusPrime]

To hell and back has to be my top pick of Sabaton songs

[@drigerdranzer7514]

The golden mist is the Spirit of war searching for the perfect tank, but they all have flaws until it found and entered Joakim, the singer. Lady on the cello is Tina "Wonderwoman" Guo.

[@MacOriginalGamer]

Tina Guo is the cellist in the video. She's worked with Sabaton several times, but she also has her own KZbin channel. She also did the soundtrack for the Wonder Woman movies. On a side note, she can definitely rock the camo! 🍺😎🤘

[@B.RyanReactions]

Wow! That's cool! Great info! I'll check her channel out!

[@Revament]

They have alot of songs about American history as well like "Devil Dogs" "To hell and back" "82nd all the way" and "Screaming Eagles".

[@istrysii]

panzer a German armoured unit. "panzer divisions" so Panzer is a armor ... It derives through the French word pancier, "breastplate", from Latin pantex, "belly"

[@ThekeiGooferNoodle]

Panzer is short for Panzerkampfwagen in German, which is just the long way to say Tank x3c

[@carls8286]

Beware... youre about to enter a bottomless rabbit hole. I still havent found the exit (Not that ive looked, I like it down here :) )

[@mort58]

Well that makes us neighbours then.

[@JonasJohnsson-z2m]

Yes. And the word for tanks in swedish.

[@tiggerswe5713]

Pansarvagn / stridsvagn is the Swedish for tank, Panzer is german...

[@B.RyanReactions]

Thanks for the clarification!!!

[@georgebeswick7549]

Welcome to the Sabaton Rabbit Hole!!! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@Drescher1984]

Iron Maiden isn't power metal, it's new wave of British heavy metal. Some of Sabatons songs are power metal, some are thrash, heavy metal and some speed metal. So yeah Sabaton is Sabaton.

[@drigerdranzer7514]

If my memory don't fail me their music is called history metal.

[@Branwhin]

Hello, and welcome!! Like @anderswiik7432 says, they're amazing history teachers. And while the live videos are truly awesome, any time you see an "animated story video," those not only have the music, but the context for it too! Their music videos are also incredible. **ahem** Okay I'll stop fan-girling now. Hope you're having a great day, from the middle of Canada!
