[@Bonovin]

Yes a tribute to Lemmy , he wrote this song and the bandmembers carry his phote in the march . Greetings from nwAse Sweden

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I love it, from their 1916 Album. Going to go listen to it here shortly! Cheers!

@@DaneBramageROCKS SKÅL :-)

[@ingobordewick6480]

@@DaneBramageROCKS Looking forward to it. The original version wrenches the heart even more. You'll see.

[@anessalyn1035]

I'm a major Sabaton fan. The video is stunningly beautiful and sad. There was 1 minute left of the video, I wish you had played it out. The last piece grabs my heart it's so moving

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I made it to the Special thanks, which was :10 seconds from the end scene. So yeah, I missed the sole soldier in the end there. Sorry about that. Thanks so much for watching though.

[@anessalyn1035]

@@DaneBramageROCKS no biggie, it just such a moving shot. Thank you for your reaction to it.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@@anessalyn1035 My pleasure!

Tina Guo on the cello after the main song. (Maybe you remember her from Steel Commanders)

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Ohhhh, ok. Was not familiar with who that was, thanks so much for the info! After looking her up, she has quite the reputation and a ton of work in other films and videos! What a star.

[@davidstonerook3868]

Tina Guo played Cello on many musical scores for TV, movies, and video games. Tina has performed live with Sabaton, Beyond The Black, The Foo Fighters, Joe Bonamassa and many many more Tina Was featured on Kamelot latest release The Awakening 🖤💀🦇💣⚡️🤘

[@Nem01]

Not new to them, love them. Appreciate your reaction.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thanks for watching!

[@geirydp]

Amazing cover by Sabaton. The original is awesome too, a bit more "naked" with Lemmy singing with that touch of despair as if he was portraying a young soldier. Love Sabaton, and next friday me & my 13 yr old son will see them on tour i Stockholm, Sweden. Great reaction, thank you!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah I am about to check it out actually. Once I learned it was a Motorhead original, it made it that much more special! Have fun at the concert! Cheers.

[@richardjosephus6802]

Lemmy couldn't sing, but man could he write

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@@richardjosephus6802 Agreed, hearing his version was a little to lyrical for his talent, but I feel Sabaton brought it justice! Great teamwork.

[@hallqvist77]

Ska också till avicii arena med min 13-åring nästa fredag! Ska bli skitkul, vi har fan väntat i över 1 år nu på konserten! 😁

[@geirydp]

@@hallqvist77 Häftigt! Jo, som vi har väntat. Sabaton går 24/7 hemma 🤘😃

[@adaliadurron6111]

Easter Eggs, references to so many other Sabaton songs, Sparta, Nightwitches, Sarajevo, Harlem Hell Fighters, and the list goes on and on. Yes, a Motorhead song.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Sabaton's attention to detail is on a level of its own, these dudes are the best!

[@Templarofsteel88]

As people have stated in the comments, this is a cover of a Motörhead song. The two guys standing in the doorway at 8:53 are Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell, the drummer and the guitarist of Motörhead. The picture they are carrying is of Lemmy Kilmister, the bassist, and singer of Motörhead. All the different soldiers are nods to songs about other wars and people that sabaton have done songs about before If you want an awesome live song with Sabaton you should react to en livstid i krig (a lifetime of war) live Scandinavium Gothenburg. The album they had released during that time is about a part of Swedish history called the era of great power (stormaktstiden in Swedish) when Sweden was one of the ruling powers. It was released with both a Swedish and English version (the Swedish telling the story more from our/a Swedish soldier's view while the English are more from an outsider's view. It is the Swedish version in the clip so be sure that the subtitles are on, I was at that show and all I can say is that you won't regret it.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah I was aware of the band members. Talked about that in the wrap up there and I knew the phto was Lemmy. There is no denying who that is! Thanks so much for the suggestion, I am familiar with that song and will add it to the list of Sabaton reactions!! Cheers.

[@mrlizardtx]

I'm still waiting for a reactor to catch all of the historical figures listed in the credits including Leonidas, Robert the Bruce, Audie Murphy, Alvin York, Ivy Valentine (one of the Night Witches), Henry Johnson (a Harlem Hellfighter), and more.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I saw the significant of those listed names. For a minute I though they were going to go line by line of all those in that battle and I thought "oh boy, this might take a while" I love the detail Sabaton puts into every one of their songs and videos! They are the BEST!

[@drigerdranzer7514]

The girl coming out from the alley looking at the planes is one of the Night Witches. They were not allowed to fly in the Soviet victory parade because their planes were so slow but in this video they get their moment. The biplanes in the end shall probably refer to Red Barons unit Jasta 11 and immediately after them Ye Olde Pub from No bullets fly makes a flyby. You maybe noted the convertible car? That's the car where Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo. So many references to other Sabaton songs with all the characters too.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@@drigerdranzer7514 This is why they are one of my favorite bands. I'll be honest, I'm not a huge history buff and would have never caught all the historical references, but that is not to say that I don't honor that. It is amazing they put all this together and gave homage to each of those historical figures and nuances. Incredible. Thanks so much for bringing that information to light! Cheers.

[@mrlizardtx]

@@drigerdranzer7514 and some who aren't Sabaton references like Havildar Gurung, a Gurkha from Nepal and Sgt. Awal Nur, who fought in the Indian Army.

[@mavfin8720]

And, while they weren't all Sabaton song references, they were still soldiers. I was actually half expecting a Swiss Guard from The Last Stand, too...

[@loafersheffield]

Lemmy's quote was taken from his autobiography, "White Line Fever". Another good book: "Covenant With Death," by John Harris. Fictitious characters, but based on a real "life" Sheffield pals regiment. My paternal grandfather survived.

[@Beefy5039]

@@loafersheffield Mine survived Gallipoli and half a century of pain and misery from multiple gunshot wounds and health problems from amoebic disentry. RIP Grandad wish I'd known you

[@BerraLJ]

Love how much power Joakim push into that last line.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Same!!

[@robinkarns7512]

I am a huge fan of Sabaton. They do a lot of research on all their songs and sing the truth. They can also be very humorous. I have become such a fan the past few months. I appreciate you being so interested.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Oh absolutely. They are the best and I am a fan of their history channel as well. I will always follow Sabaton. Cheers. More to come

[@jasonuk8333]

While I had heard of Sabaton, this was my first experience of them. An excellent cover and video, with a lovely touch to have the surviving members of Motorhead do a cameo, with the photo of Lemmy. As a song I prefer the simpler starker Motorhead original, but I'm so glad to have discovered this version. You should react to that version too. There is no official video, but a few fan-made ones plus basic lyric versions.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I did just go listen to the son on their page, I loved it. A little more naked but a good Jam. Sabaton did well covering this. Thanks so much.

[@Nem01]

Nice reaction.

[@RomanSacharewicz-k5d]

The youngest war 12 years old. Unfortunately he was shot at dawn for desertion. Having served myself for over 20 years in the British Army and after I retired took up work as an Educational Officer at a Military Museum. Re-telling the story of these young men who went to what is called the Great War, we have a trench made to show the conditions that they lived in. Yes, I wear the uniform of the period. But, add my own experience into the story. They lied about their ages because they came from the industrial areas of the UK at the time. They did not have birth certificates at the time. And there living conditions at home were terrible. In the Army they had 3 meals per day, plus pay. Which to some was more than they had at home.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

12? Wow. Thanks for sharing all of that and thank you for your service. Cheers.

[@Beefy5039]

The "boys" of 16 yrs old in 1914 were'nt the 16 year old children of today. They'd probably been working behind a farm horse, digging coal or some other physically demanding jobs for years and they were simply beardless men brought up on the legends of Waterloo, Agincourt and saw nothing but the glory of the tin on the chests of the old timers. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them

[@nlpletcher]

Awesome video and great tribute to Lemmy. Holy credits Batman! 😂

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Dude, check out the sabaton history channel on KZbin. You'll be blown away!.

[@MagnusS27]

This song hits hard, really hard but it’s so good!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Agree, most of their songs do, but this one especially.

[@richardjosephus6802]

The living stop, and the dead go on to history

[@Nem01]

Actually I don't know how many years I'm with Sabaton now, but I love every step of it.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

They are incredible right?! One of my Favs! 🤘Keep on Rockin'🤘

[@Nem01]

Absolutely love them. They are fun, humble and pay credit to anyone they sing, write or talk about. 1916 is just one example. They would never have done a cover, let alone a video of it without honoring Mikey, Phil, Lemmy and motörhead as a whole. One of my other favorites, a Japanese rock band called the GazettE presently lost their bassist. (Stage name Reita, birth name Akira Suzuki)... I still think it was a self checkout because a few hours before it was announced that he passed he posted on x something along the line 'I hope the gazette will never be forgotten / alway be remembered'... Sabaton helps a lot. Even when we lost Chester Bennington.😢

[@Erik6706]

Late to comment here but Hannes, the drummer is married to Floor Jansen in Nightwish. Great reaction! 👏 I saw this live in Stockholm rescently and had tears in my eyes for the whole song.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I just heard about that. And they are about to or just had a baby! So, naturally, a Nightwish reaction is in the workings! I can not wait to see them live.

[@tilltugg]

Don't forget the Sabaton History Channel... where you get all the backstories to the battles and events/people in their songs. On KZbin, yes. :)

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

That's right, I'll have to plug that next time I do another video for them.

[@merryrose6788]

Thanks for your respectful reaction, and as mentioned, always let the video go to the end:) As for the Battle of the Somme, in France around this area, there are so many battlefields and graveyards: This war, and the second, are still very much a part of this land. Read about Verdun too. Just terrible. btw, JRR Tolkien was from the northern part of England, educated in Birmingham. He was part of the Pals Battalions, and was at the Battle of the Somme from the first day. So, we see the inspiration for the four Hobbit friends, and one or more of the terrible battles in Lord of the Rings.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you. I'm here for Sabaton and what they are about. One of my favorites of all time. Thanks for sharing the information about France and the area. Very insightful. Cheers, more to come.

[@merryrose6788]

@@DaneBramageROCKS Thanks for your reply, and looking forward to more reactions:)

[@Nem01]

J. R. R. Tolkien was at the somme. He wrote that at the end of the first day all of his friends except for maybe one were killed.

[@scray00]

First off thank you for watching the entire video. Not only do you gather more info about the battle, but also any tributes and the people involved in project. This isn’t just a band it’s an army of people that work on these. Also I feel it’s respectful to those being sung about. Second, thanks for educating your viewers. This isn’t just any band and their messages are important!! My thoughts. Freedom is not a lifetime guarantee!! Some still don’t have it today. Debts owed to those that came before us are huge, and those debts are accumulated and passed on generation to generation. Why?? Because we don’t learn 😢 think of Ukraine. there are large powers in this world that can turn their attention to any of our countries tomorrow and it will be our families/friends in the pages of history. Not a single country in the world has not been scarred by war, and it will happen again. the hate and misery that’s inflicted on others in every country is disgusting. Never mind the hate from country to country. The way we treat our military when they come home is disgusting and we should be ashamed!! Our government’s should be ashamed, but they’re not. So donate, volunteer to the vets in your area if you can. Let them know they are not forgotten by everyone. Just because our powers that be are shitty doesn’t mean we have to be. Love to all that serve or have served ❤ sorry about the rant.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I'm cool with this Rant and this is why Sabaton is one of my favorite bands. I know the work they put in and the attention to detail and accuracy in all their video and songs. I even watch their history channel for more context. Now as for the Military, I agree with you 100% and most my free time does go volunteering for Veteran organizations. I am actually a Marine Vet myself, did 8 years active and now service in the Air Force full time. So I personally appreciate your words, truth and support. Cheers and God Bless.

[@johncrwarner]

I encountered Sabaton through Nanowar of Steel and their “Pasadena 1994“ which features Joakim. I then listened to some of their tracks and realised Pasadena 1994 is the greatest Sabaton song not written by Sabaton. LOL

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

HA! So not a huge fan then or you just think that he sounded best on that song?

[@johncrwarner]

@@DaneBramageROCKS More the quality of the parody was on an epic scale. I think of Nanowar of Steel as a “nerd-core“ band with nerdy gems strewn throughout their parodies like the reference to Castel Sant' Angelo in Pasadena 1994 and The Last Stand.

"Stories from the western front" is not an album, its a collection of 3 EP's

"Stories from the western front" is the 3rd EP from the trilogy called "Echoes Of The Great War". Correct, not technically an album, but still the third of the trilogy.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Noted! But sometimes we get blocked if we run it through. It is best practice to go piece by piece so we do not get a copywrite strike. I'm not the only one who practices this. Plus, it helps remember what we wanted to say instead of trying to remember everything we wanted to talk about.

[@sundelldennis]

@@DaneBramageROCKS Yes i do know that, but thats is bullshit from recordcompanies NOT youtube they just implement what record companies want, but they need you guys, Reactors should unite, you all have great impact on music.
