Nightwish fans Sabaton Reaction -Christmas Truce

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Hey fam! Sorry, we did cut out the very last part where Floor sings.! A lot of reactions let us know our error. We did go back and listen to the credits. As always, Floor is amazing! Still learning, so thank you for grace!! Love you

[@fredriknilsson6042]

With Sabaton you can miss something in the end and not just this video. No bullets fly is also emotional but be shure to take the animeted STORY video for that one

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Thanks Fredrick! Will do, it’s on the list

[@jadu79]

Almost all the songs by Sabaton have a background that they have on their history channel which you should also watch when you make the songs so you can now also watch that clip even if you recognize parts of the story behind it, you can always learn things there and many of the stories are not very well known as "night hexes" or "no bullets fly" (both of them there is an animated STORY that briefly goes into the background but worth also checking out their history channel) here is about this song Christmas Truce - December 1914 - Sabaton History 107 [Official] kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnvUZ2eae5qNnLM no matter how well you know the story, I do not think you know several of the background to songs they have and it makes people appreciate the music more and they have music from the countries most countries where they toured and they now have two full albums about the first the world war but also about other and many other wars. But I also want to recommend Amaranthe and Arch Enemy who are two Swedish bands and can Floor have interviewed both girls and it was 10 years ago now that the two girls save a performance for Nightwish in Denver (before Floor became part of the band but joined the band before the show after) And Amaranthe has performed with Sabaton and has both played at their show but also done a cover of 82nd all the way (good song that is about how the measure of them arose) also worth checking out the story there and finally I want to recommend a Ukrainian group called "Jinjer" and 3 of the band's 4 members are stuck in Kyiv last I saw something which was shortly after this invasion but the war started in 2014 and then they had to flee their home in the east part of ukrina and they have a song about it called "Home Back" and they toured with Arch Enemy a few years ago and there were slightly different opinions about who was the most beautiful singer in metal short message from the band kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3zWkJqMnMiZg5Y not the best song to start with but very acrual now that the war is not a month but 8 years JINJER - Home Back (Official Video 4K) | Napalm Records kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqXCepKdndKLf7M Edit- check out the lyrics to Home Back as it is easier to follow as she has a voice that can be a little difficult to hear the text if you are not used to it and do not know, so worth reading it before you listen

It was the germans who started to sing Stille nach ( Holy night) and soon the brits and french sang too and one german climbed upp and started to walk over no man land and soon the met the germans brought beer ghe brits whisky and the french wine, and someone started to kick a ball och so in began, humanity in hell, the next day whole companys refused to fire on each other and was transferred to other front lines. pure magic

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

All the band members played roles in the video: vocalist Joakim Broden was playing the piano, guitarist Chris Rorland was the officer looking at the picture, guitarist Tommy Johansson threw the grenade, bassist Par Sundstrom was writing in the journal and drummer Hannes Van Dahl was seen moving through the trench and crossed into no man's land first.

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Thanks Mr.! Yeah we thought we recognized them in the video, just missed floor the very end. Fantastic video though and we watched it this morning to catch floor at the end. Thanks for watching we appreciate it very much!

Was a good reaction, but just because the credits are running the song is not over. That was Floor Jansen, she is also the wife of Sabaton's drummer Hannes.

Thank you coyote we watched it again this morning and caught the credits. Amazing!

You needed to listen to the end ... why don't you try doing that one over! Not only does Floor sing the closing credits, but this was an amazing production and included lots of people/crew ...

Didn’t listen thru the credits Floor aura is superb. Always listened to the end of Sabaton, Nightwish even Ayreon to savor a lot of music & info. ( which I don’t know if you’ve reacted to yet, Check out , The Day the World Breaks Down). Good job anyway!🙏👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I love this video, Floor's hubby and Sabaton drummer Hannes van Dahl was the first to come out of the trenches with his hands up. You should listen to the outro it was Floor adding her beautiful voice as the credits run, you can even see her credited in ending vocals.

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Thanks Allen! We did go back and watch it and yes she has an amazing voice and adds a lot to that video. Hate the we miss the first time but I don’t think they will make it mistake again

All of Sabaton music videos are extremely well done and help to bring out the emotions of the songs. Check out 'Bismark' by Sabaton. Great reactions guys. Also, you guys may enjoy the song 'Sancta Terra' by the Dutch group 'Epica' ft. Floor Jansen.

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Thanks Gary!

[@randymarple9830]

@@SueSueandthewolfman This is not just a Christmas song. It can and will be played year round, as it should be. The horrors of wars started by politicians, but fought by soldiers who had no say in the matter is evident this very day. The guitar solo sounds like waling and torment, and Floors outro solo has such a calming effect. Epica/Sabaton US tour this year will be spectacular. Can't wait to be singing in the crowd to the acapella chorus of Christmas Truce!

[@williamgreen4757]

Hey Old Folks, I would like to make a request? That last video was of the christmas eve spontanous truce of WW1.

[@xScooterAZx]

The beauty of this song and this video always makes me cry. Always. Sadly,when it was over many soldiers ran,refusing to fight any longer. Also,the rest were either transfered out or shot right there for refusing to follow orders to restart the battle.

I think that this song is their masterpiece! So carefully made! Another great song by Sabaton is "No Bullets Fly". It shows that there can be moments during a war that are honourable. On their History Channel they explain what it is all about. Sad though that nothing is learned from the past.

All true, the cross is there in Ypres France

when you said about the problems today in Ukraine and i watch "Race to the Sea" from sabaton its like they repeat the same history again.... if you dont know about history you repeat the same mistakes again and again....

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Yes Andres! It keeps going round and round

[@frankpuncekar5051]

It’s Ayreon , The Day The the World Breaks Down, sorry for any confusion. Check out Sabaton, Bismarck official video. Sabaton is not political but sings of the sacrifices, heroics of mostly military battles throughout history. Sabaton has a History channel on UTube, titled Sabaton History ( easy to remember) they explain the history behind a lot of their songs. Suggestions, No Bullets Fly , or Night Witches both the official animated STORY version. It’s a combination of the Saboton History and music videos. Do play to the end especially No Bullets Fly. You both are youngins compared to me a very old Metal rock head. Been a fan of Nightwish for over 20 years and a fan of Sabaton for at least 10. Obsessed with both, as neither of these bands have, in my humble opinion no bad songs or sets. Don’t beat yourself up about not hearing Floors aura at the end as it is not on the album. Which again in my humble opinion is Sabaton one and only mistake. Good luck on your journey, give both dogs a extra pat for me! Stay Safe Rock On!🙏🐶

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Thank you again Franck! As I read them top to bottom sometimes I miss the earlier comments. The dog say hey and I gave them extra pat on the head this morning from you! Take care

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

CR What an amazing backstory! Thank you for sharing I learned a lot about this part of the war when I was in history in college. But there was a lot of did not remember thanks for sharing again

[@rnowak85]

Glad you reacted to the official video. So much more majestic and epic. Unfortunately you stopped too early and missed the soaring vocals of Floor and the music of Antti Martikainen in the outro. It just adds a whole new layer of beauty and emotion to this song. Please go back and listen all the way to the end for yourself so you can appreciate not only all of the music but how many people contributed to this production. Especially for groups like Nightwish and Sabaton you should watch all the way to the end or you may miss something (especially Nightwish's Greatest Show on Earth).

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Yes, we did go back this morning and catch all of it. It was very amazing and her voice never ceases to amaze us. Live and learn, and we will certainly learned from this one :-)

[@QUENTEMY]

I always wonder why reactors don't view official band videos to the end. Bands put a lot of money in producing their videos; it would be cheaper for them to shortnen it. Tip: Always view videos to the end, there is mostly real content to react to!

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Ohh that was not very polite - you just cut out Floor's amazing outtro - added to give this video the final touch. But anyway - it is a very strong song Sabaton created - and unfortunately probably will never be outdated. An incident like this will never occur again, because it was decided a few days after the incident, and has been kept ever since.
