Interview With Pär Sundström from Sabaton I THE GREAT WAR Special

[@HT97775]

The strangest, least expected but most amazing crossover ever

[@Saphrax89]

Agreed. Just blew my mind.

[@angelgames9351]

Not anymore

[@thetrain47539]

It wasn't unexpected, Joakim, Pär and Indy Neidell having been hosting Sabaton History for ages now.

[@talos2384]

Endgame eat your heart out

[@marcus4046]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.

[@metamaxis]

Is this how it all began? the start of Sabaton History? This is truly a great day.

[@MikaelKKarlsson]

Sabaton is more Metal, while The Great War has more Flo.

[@thekaasmaster8172]

MikaelKKarlsson hahahahaha

[@johnyoung4441]

OHHHHHHH

[@mithridates8890]

2 years later: these two would meet again to create the greatest history/metal channel

[@ISawABear]

So when's the collab album coming?

[@MrRenegadeshinobi]

Not soon enough,

[@seiban8455]

Dream of heaven Neidell is calling your naaaame!

[@Schinkenscheisser]

Heard it's going to be an Ode to Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf. Seriously, though that'd be amazing, a Sabaton song about the Carpathian offensive, or the Italian front.

[@joluoto]

Przemysl!

[@papazoulou9326]

ISONZO As Cadorna fails again! ISONZO! The Austrian survives! ISONZO!

[@SadamSkywalker]

Ok, I've had a really bad Sabaton/WWI joke on my mind for a very long time and I think, that this is the place to get rid of it: "Where is the lost batallion? - They Argonne!" Yes, it's that bad.

[@anthonyzorn773]

SadamSkywalker You're doing gods work son, never give up

[@tobiasbengtsson2112]

[@upintheairstudio]

[@tntfreddan3138]

What's the finest art? The Art of War

[@annak5373]

xD

[@VladTevez]

Maybe a new Sabaton theme for the channel? ;) P.S.: Thanks for the "Coat of Arms"!

[@madquack6449]

And The album last stand that was one hell of an album

[@greekswaglord-dathistoryla201]

V. Athanasiou Για την δόξα της Ελλάδος!

[@CarlosRios1]

Maybe The Lost Battalion or Last Dying Breath.

[@polski1683]

Price for a mile is most appropriate

[@nekman8521]

I actually really liked cliffs of Gallipoli and final solution

[@oreradivojevic837]

Here is the speech that Major Dragutin Gavrilović gave to his battalion on 6th October 1915: " Soldiers, exactly at three o'clock, the enemy is to be crushed by your fierce charge, destroyed by your grenades and bayonets. The honor of Belgrade, our capital, must not be stained. Soldiers! Heroes! The supreme command has erased our regiment from its records. Our regiment has been sacrificed for the honor of Belgrade and the Fatherland. Therefore, you no longer need to worry about your lives: they no longer exist. So, forward to glory! For the King and the Fatherland! Long live the King, Long live Belgrade!" Thank you Sabaton, thank you TGW.

[@brentfarvors192]

(Hands him my rifle...) "F U! You go die, and I'll watch from the hill?...I think it's high time YOU go off to die in a muddy ditch, while I stay home, and protect the women/children...?"

[@basilb4524]

Sampling war sounds for percussion, now that's badass

[@CarlosRios1]

basil B in The Lost Battalion right?

[@DzheiSilis]

basil B The sampling was really low quality for that song.

[@mushugordon1]

Hearing it live with Hannes van Dahl on the drums with the sampling as well is a fantastic duo.

[@The_Republic_of_Ireland]

One of my favourite bands on one of my favourite KZbin channels

[@landotomunn9048]

Quickscope Kid Greatest Combo!!!!!

[@DoraFauszt]

I awaited this eagerly, was unavoidable to combine my favorite YoutTube Channel with one of my all time favorite band!

[@idonteven3712]

Dóra Fauszt same

[@drdoodoo282]

Sabaton generally releases an album every 2 years They released an album last year If they released a ww1 themed concept song on armistice day that would be the coolest thing ever imo

[@wretchedslippage3255]

yeah. lol ok

[@holdenhankins2046]

This aged well

[@thenoobgameplays]

@@holdenhankins2046 the ironic is thay they started to record The Great War album on the armistice day.

[@thelonephilosopher855]

Great War = Awesome Sabaton = Awesome Great War + Sabaton = Super Awesome now if only we had Cake.

[@lux881]

Поздрав за Сабатон из Београда!!

[@jroggs85]

I didn't know who Sabaton was when I started watching this video, and 20 minutes later I was subbed to their channel. Awesome video, really fascinating to see how the First World War is still driving the creativity of artists a hundred years later.

[@Sgtdoc]

Nobody expected this video like the Spanish Inquisition.

[@proud_emmerian6510]

Fridrick The IV Nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition!

[@Sgtdoc]

Indeed.

[@austincooper3391]

Truly the birth of a beautiful friendship

[@Durabeanz]

Sabaton and The Great War Channel? Some of my 2 favorite things put together.

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

Hopefully Sabaton does more WWI themed song now that the centennial is still going. But I want more about other history too like an ancieng Rome. Sabaton is my favorite band.

[@EJ_Red]

I just want Sabaton to make a song about the Great Emu War lol

[@drvenisporet3395]

I would like to see an album, or a couple of songs about Napoleon (like Waterloo, or his conquest of Russia) or something from that era. Also I wouldn't mind hearing some songs about naval fights like Trafalgar, or about some famous capitans or pirates (Blackbeard, or Jack Rackham for example)

[@ericcarlson3746]

Imagine a song about the Emperor Caligula!

[@yourlocalt72]

They must do punic wars alexander and napoleon

[@EJ_Red]

For real though, I really do wish they should do a song about Napoleon, he just seems like concept Sabaton would do. Some more topics they could do was Qin Shi Huang and the Harlem Hellfighters.

[@nenadnikolic6142]

Love the show, love Sabaton...greetings from Serbia

[@Bob1942ful]

Sabaton just got a new fan. After watching this episode listened to some of their music and was really impressed.

[@gunslinger1911a1]

Holy shit, I took a picture with him when they came to Chicago for the second time years ago. I knew who he was back then, but fuck never thought he'd end up on this channel. So glad you kept on after the change over of the band Par!

[@omgitsFelz]

What a chill guy. Grats on this interview!

[@andresmartinezramos7513]

SABATON!!

[@NegiTaiMetal011]

Definitely love Sabaton for the energetic, heavy, history-telling metal as I enjoy history. You collaborating with them or you just hanging out with them is just so fitting and epic. And so nice of Par to be very happy to be with you. Two of my favorite history-telling entities coming together really made my day and are just destined, meant to be. Instant favorite! If Sabaton makes a concept album about WW1 (to which I guess they'd call it The Great War or The War to End All Wars) with you helping them, that's bound to be epic!

[@jenniferparker5189]

the coolest thing is, they did: both of them.

[@zekitek44]

Thank you Sabaton for the Cliffs of Gallipoli.

[@dannyalex5866]

Zeki Buğra also ty them for the hot gates and other

[@hulusiakar3252]

Zeki Buğra Abi I saw you on a another video about Cannakale.

[@williamsheil]

Thanks Indi and team, just listened to the song. I cried when I first read the words of forgiveness of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, as an Australian, I was humbled by the generosity of a people whom we had attacked. I did not know of this speech/memorial before I went to Gallipoli and to this day I do not know of a message of condolence that would better offer solace to a parent who lost their solider child. (I posted the same message on the Sabaton site)

[@kevincass9917]

Can we petition KZbin to add a "love" button so we can love this video properly? Like is just not enough.

[@margretfortune1524]

Always enjoyed Sabaton. Great music and energy. サバトン

[@fogeltje]

I became a Sabaton fan because of this video. And thanks to Sabaton I discovered a few new topics.

[@absoluteinfinity1197]

Will there be an interview with Ian from Forgotten Weapons? that will be so sick.

[@clamum]

F yes! DO EET

[@Gulliolm]

Oh yes, please do it!

[@terryl7855]

Had no idea who these guys were. Checked out a couple of their vids, good stuff. Thanks again GWC!!

[@ho_chi_minh_official739]

One of my favorite bands with one of my favorite channels. It’s a really nice mix, great video

[@RipRoaringGarage]

Also, Sabaton made me discover this channel...so watching this was just a matter of time.

[@M0torsagmannen]

saw Sabaton at Fredriksten festning this summer playing the entirety of "Carolus Rex" most badass history lesson yet :D for the unaware, it was at that place the end events of the album happened

[@nickfletcher9955]

I swear right now I'm like a kid on Christmas right now

[@macmittens16]

My two favorite things! Met the Sabaton guys after a show in New York City. Best concert of my life and one of my favorite KZbin channels all in one. Pär is such a cool dude, glad to see these guys getting a little more exposure.

[@jenniferparker5189]

I am way behind having just subscribed to this channel, but I love Sabaton History and their music. I finally decided to check out Indy's other channels. This was an awesome video to watch. To see how they were kind of put together and ended up creating the Sabaton History channel, all very cool.

[@KingAlpaca]

1. You gotta love Sabaton. 2. This should be longer.

[@bakomusha]

Been a fan for years, and FINALLY saw them live back in in the spring in Anaheim. They put on fantastic show.

[@ColTravis]

Indie and Flo, I found your channel in November of 2014 because of Päl Sundström and Sabaton and subscribed because of them and havn't been disappointed yet. Great interview!!!

[@D00ml0rdKazzak]

This episode was really Pär for the course! :3

[@Gstrangeman96]

Paer is so shy and talks so softly you'd never guess his onstage presence. it's like he sinks all his energy in songmaking and live gigs, and has none left for his day-to-day life.

[@fatefulcoma]

New Sabaton fan here thank you Indy, Flo and every member of the Great War team :D

[@zawgurn2386]

Sabaton a my fav!!!

[@CarlosRios1]

Your pfp fits well

[@5555peace5555]

well this is awkward...I found Sabaton by chance two weeks ago, started (re)watching this channel from the beginning one week ago and now this video is uploaded...

[@TheGreatWar]

+5555peace5555 we're in your head

[@erravi]

haha same! i started working out to Sabaton some weeks ago and now I listen to them regularly as well.

[@cesargeney5268]

Iluminati confirmed

[@proud_emmerian6510]

moutardism Welcome to the club!

[@axistec]

Nice to see Sabaton in the program. Cliffs of Gallipoli is one of my favourites songs from the band. Hail from Brazil

[@PariahEarth]

Whoa! Suddenly Sabaton shows up? Amazing! 👏🏻

[@marimbachuck]

Just checked out Sabaton's music for the first time. These guys are great. Thanks Indie~

[@DeGRaTReX]

never clicked on a TGW video so quickly!

[@suneplong114]

First I found Sabaton...months back....then recently I found this channel... and now I find out they made a video together... Awesome!

[@SometimesCompitent]

File this under unexpected but awesome! I’ve seen these guys live a few times. Awesome every time.

[@old-moose]

I'm not normally into heavy metal music but their music really adds to an emotional story. Thanks for a different way to tell the story of war.

[@KARMOD2]

I saw Sabaton open for Nightwish and they were amazing! I became an instant fan of theirs after that night.

[@kyledunn6853]

Come back to Worcester please. I was forced to miss your concert. Please Pär convince the guys to come back.

[@pekkahuppunen5268]

Damn this is just SO GREAT! ... I totally love The great war channel and yet Sabaton is the favorite band of our whole family (6 members in total) . This is just so awesome! ...As a person who knows a lot about warfare and history I also respect and like the human perspective which comes so often from the TGW & Sabaton crew. As humans we like to glorify things and are often interested about these warlike matters, but it is also as important to not to forget the horrors and amounts of suffering during a war.

[@jawa011]

Thanks Sabaton for Last dying breath

[@ceejayszee]

Holy crap, one of my favorite bands and favorite channel together! This is just amazing, love sabaton and love The Great War!

[@Ergilion]

Cool! Awesome idea to invite Sabaton! Totally apreciate.

[@denizbaba92]

whenever i listened cliffs of gallipoli i remember the episodes about that war on the channel. indeed 'such waste of life'.

[@Runmatt99]

Lol I was going to ask about sabaton in OOTT. Mainly to do with the lost battalion and the battle and circumstances around this event. Then I saw this video. Best youtube channel and best metal band. Awesome work.

[@rebelwarwolf]

I Was a fan of Sabaton before this now I have more songs to look up, thanks , Keep up the great work both of you.

[@ankureros6272]

This is the best video in KZbin. Two of the coolest things doing a collab

[@peratomic99]

I was in that crowd in Belgrade and its fucking true everyone was shouting the speech before the song. Best feeling.

[@Thunderchicken69]

As he mentioned barley anyone is alive that fought in the Great War, actually the last Great War soldier died in 2012 sadly

[@madboy9xx]

Greatest crossover I never thought would happen but omg it has!

[@alexv6324]

Mr. Sundström is so mellow toned and non metal, that it's metal.

[@HellbirdIV]

Bass players and drummers tend to be be quiet introvert types :P

[@dannyalex5866]

Was sleeping when I hear the beap sound on the cell phone,I check it instantly...WOW what I can say...nothing but ty you,greetings from greece to germany serbia the channel,+ I was already sub of sabaton and ur channel,hope all good

[@thewhitedeath586]

This is very cool! I've never heard of sabaton, but I'm going to check them out now!

[@CastleBomb44]

Never heard of Sabaton.... but I love metal.. will need to listen to them ASAP in my next workout.

[@Drrolfski]

This actually pretty cool and I'm not even into metal, love these cross-overs. It for sure helps spreading the WWI story towards potential new audiences.

[@TheRagingStorm98]

wah no way you got par on the show awesome

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

I was just watching one Great War episode and about to go running listening to Sabaton music when I saw this!

[@robglenn4844]

Had to pause this video halfway through to look up some Sabaton. Now a fan.

[@DonPatrono]

O MAN IT HAS HAPPENED

[@petarpetrov8208]

I was just listening to the lost battalion when this came up

[@darthhaze2]

Sabaton and The Great War? My day has been made! :D

[@ironvader502]

This is one of the things I didn't knew I wanted, but know that I have it, I can't see how I lifed my life without it for so long. Also I literally just finished listening my Sabaton-Playlist again with Hearts of Iron, so I am in the right mood.

[@anongoloid]

I just stumbled upon this channel and sabton recently, this is like a wet dream

[@arqueic4602]

I LOVE SABATON!!!! And I love the great war, what a perfect video! Am very happy

[@timmorrish4702]

Fantastic interview! I have been a big fan of Sabaton for years!

[@honorablespartan]

This is awesome.

[@SeresTheZocker]

Indy you are a historian, an actor, you host the best history channel on KZbin, you did a collaboration with AlternatHistoryHub, you own the Sandman comics, have traveled and lived in many places and you interviewed a member of an awesome metal band I think it should be illegal to be this cool

[@Frederikstoklund94]

Yes yes yes! It is like a dream come true to see Sabaton and TGW together in the same video.

[@johnrust592]

I found it really cool to hear how these guys come up with some of their ideas for songs.

[@Fingolfin1190]

Had a few beers with them after their concert in Groningen some years back. Awesome guys and fun to get drunk with. Can definitely recommend going if they play nearby.

[@TheRealGuys3000]

Forward to glory and face your fate at last!

[@tntfreddan3138]

With haste our lives are erased. Forward to glory for king and country

[@ae746890]

Metallica's "One" was also a solme tribute to the great war. They used excerpts from the move "Jonnie got his gun" for their video.......really powerful instrumentals if you dig heavy metal

[@erikahl7934]

Actually got me into SABATON and i have never heard anything as awsome

[@thomasarledge1933]

Sabaton, you have a new fan

[@alabasterscarf612]

Great interview, Sabaton is a one of a kind band in my eyes, their songs have aged well.

[@ChipCheezey]

OMG I love Sabaton! They can be pretty cheesy but they make some really fun music.

[@jaytea4093]

I thought I was dreaming when I got a notification for Sabaton and The Great War in one video.
