Reaction / SABATON - En Livstid I Krig (The great tour - Gothengurg)

[@fredrikviking5250]

They sing about the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) .. Where Sweden became a great power 💙💛

[@amygoodson-catlady]

A powerful song, Nate, thanks for the reaction! I learned this in Swedish just to be a part of such an epic singalong!

[@Templarofsteel88]

Nice reaction, I was at this show (sitting somwhere in the middle of the platform to the left from this view of the stage) The album Carolus rex they had released during that time is about a part of Swedish history called the era of great power (stormaktstiden in Swedish) from when Sweden was a much bigger nation with ambitions of expanding. The album was released with both an Swedish and English version,the difference being that the Swedish one tells the story from our/a Swedish soldiers view while the English is more from an outsiders view of the war. They had sold out the arena for this show so there was around 10766 metalheads in the arena, needless to say, it was one hell of a show that night.

[@NateRockne]

I'm sure you'll never forget that experience. Thanks for the info.

[@Murvelhund]

Sabaton = making war history easy and fun to learn by doing metal song about it😊

[@lenadahl9276]

I love how you can hear the audience singing through the whole song!

A medic? "The Ballad of Bull" is the next Sabaton song for you. Leslie "Bull" Allen was an Australian stretcher bearer in WWII, but I think it'll resonate. He's credited with saving 12 US soldiers by going alone into fire and bringing them back one-by-one. All 12 survived, and he never took a physical scratch. He would be recognized by the United States with a Silver Star, but he was never recognized, even today as far as I know, by the Australian government. I do wish people would react to lesser known Sabaton songs and get them out there. Also, check out their Sabaton History channel for background on all of their songs.

[@NateRockne]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out. I'm not against watching lesser known songs.

What a show, what a atmosphere, what a band ,what a song ,what crowds 🔥🔥🔥

[@Northman-from-the-North]

The 30 years war are considered by many historians as the first world war because so many nations were involved.

[@erikpalmer1201]

En livstid i krig means ”A lifetime of war and is about the 30-year long european war in the 17th century ,

Joakim auditioning for his employment as a conductor when his voice is gone...

[@ingmariohman8242]

The lyrics can apply to any war, anytime. Sabaton keeps it real.

[@MaskinJunior]

From age 16 to 70 duty can call any swede since we have a draft to fill the bulk of our army. But in reallity 18 to 47.

[@HansenSWE]

This song has an English version as well. While the Swedish version focuses on the single soldier of the 30-year war, the English version focuses on a broader scale. War in general, to the theme of the 30-year war

[@jessicajacobsson7124]

We were around 10 000 people in the audience.

[@christofferengstrom4676]

This soldier fought for every country in the world and this song praises it.

[@maritakorneliusson2145]

A lifetime in war grettings from Gothenburg Sweden . 😊🇸🇪

[@carla3562]

Welcome to the Sabaton Family

[@NateRockne]

Thank you.

[@knockonrock7013]

Thank you for serving..i did also..in moving infantry...was in pbv302

[@peterlarsson3436]

Hi Nate, just came across your channel, love it. Sabaton is a poweful thing, and I'm saying that as a Depeche Mode hard mode fan. So being a medic seems like an career that fits you, please continue that. I myself went as a UN soldier to Bosnia in 1995, you didn't miss much except knowning what's really important in life.

[@NateRockne]

Thank you for your service. I'm going to be checking out alot more Sabaton.

[@Nem01]

If you haven't already check out the live performance in poland Woodstock. 750k crowd. You will love it.

[@NateRockne]

I haven't seen that yet. I'll check it out.

[@LordStuba]

Thank you for your service from NATO Croatia. How ever your service was. Thanks

[@ingvartorma9789]

Sabaton has a History page here on KZbin: Sabaton History. Here is the story of A Lifetime in War - The Thirty Years War - Sabaton History 034 [Official] kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIWVd3-Eq9-ihrM

[@NateRockne]

I'll check it out.

[@maritakorneliusson2145]

I wes here 🤘🏼💪🏻

[@Nem01]

Being brave enough to becime a medic, even you (thank what ever you believe in) never has to be activated...: Salute.

[@Richie8406]

The song is about the 30 years war but the sentiment applies world over. Also, in modern times, the Swedish military have been active in Africa, the Balkans, Afghanistan. UN missions. There is a law about general draft but this gen, maybe 1/10 even get checked, less are "drafted". Now, things might change. During the Cold War into the 90's it was most if not all were called when they were 18, most if not all, served. Not professionally, but for like 12-18 months, basic training. Men. Of course ;)

[@Richie8406]

The law is the same though. If shit hits the fan all able bodies like 16-75, called in

[@NateRockne]

Thank you for the info. I love that I can listen to their music and get a history lesson at the same time.

[@Nem01]

Nice reaction.

[@NateRockne]

Thank you!

[@CatrinaNoname-xw4uk]

🎉🎉

[@Nem01]

Still love this reaction.😢

[@Nem01]

Healthy 2025!

[@Nem01]

Happy to that you never were activated because what many people miss: medics face the worst things.😢

[@johankarlsson3113]

Hello. Lovley reaction as always 😊👍 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 this journey! I am sure you would have loved it and not regretted it! 😉 I want to recommend songs to you!😎 You can skip the ones you have already reacted to if you want! The valley of death Dreadnought Soldier of heaven Stormtroopers Steel commanders Kingdom come Defense of Moscow 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 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 Cliffs of Gallipoli Metal Crüe Nightchild Back in control In the name of god Metal machine Purple heart Wolf pack 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 ❤️ 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) 🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@NateRockne]

I can give it a shot. This sounds like a challenge.

[@johankarlsson3113]

​​@@NateRockne Lovley to hear!😊👍👍👍👍 I think you will like that challenge and journey very much!😎 The songs I suggested are from different albums with Sabaton! You don't have to react to the songs you've already reacted to, unless you want to of course! you decide of course! It should be fairly easy to find each album with accompanying songs on either KZbin or Spotify! KZbin should have all the videos for all Sabaton's songs! animated, official videos etc! If you need help/tips, There are many of us in the comment field who can help you if you need help during this journey 😊 It will be very interesting to see and hear what you think of all their songs! And then when all the albums are finished, Please tell us which is your favorite album!😊🙏 Sabaton is also working on a new album! 😊 Warm and friendly greetings from Johan

[@NateRockne]

@@johankarlsson3113 I was thinking about reacting to each song on an album and then giving my thoughts on the album as a whole at the end. Thank you for the idea.

[@johankarlsson3113]

Lovley to hear that! 😎👍👍 You are welcome!😊👍 Thanks for very good videos and a really good channel 😎👍👍👍

[@mpainter22]

I'm assuming Desmond Doss I a hero of yours?

[@NateRockne]

I don't think I've heard of him. I did a quick search and he sounds like a true hero.

[@mpainter22]

@NateRockne if you've never seen "Hacksaw Ridge" I'd recommend checking it out, it's based on Desmonds life and career it also features archive footage/interviews with the man himself during the end credits

[@NateRockne]

@@mpainter22 I don't think I've seen Hacksaw Ridge. I'll look for it. Thank you for the info.

[@kjelledbom1728]

Im sorry national guard? this is about the 30 year war when Swedish men was sometimes bourn into the army

[@NateRockne]

Just my experience. Not claiming to have been in a war.

[@pontushanson9307]

This is what the song is about, Greetings from Sweden en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War

[@NateRockne]

Thank you. Greetings to you in Sweden!
