Sabaton interview - Joakim Brodén (2020)

[@SentinelOfTheFirst]

mad respects for sabaton, teaching me so much about history and all of the unknown heroes of history.

[@theboyscout0156]

I’ve learned more about history with Sabaton than 3 years of history in HS.

[@TrainerSoul]

I'm new to Sabaton and have looked up a few different people, even talked to my wife asking her if she ever heard of Sergeant Alvin York in school. Neither of us had.

[@ouzounicus6126]

They have to be the best rock band I've ever listened too.

[@toenailmuncher0772]

Joakim is a metal hero.

[@toenailmuncher0772]

And the madlads. All of them are

[@edwardritz895]

73 years old, Avid Hawkwind Follower for 50 years. My 19 yr old on went to see Sabaton in Glasgow 2019 and he showed me tracks from that concert.. That was it!!! I went straight away and bought 2 tickets for Wembley.. got to say one of the best gigs I have been to, support groups were brilliant.

[@omniaautnil]

One of the best (if not the best) interview I've watched. Not just bare questions without response, but more like a dialogue. But also, Joakim - seems like a really smart guy. Liked very much the way he expressed his thoughts - clearly and with humor. Much respect to him.

[@FaceCulture]

Good to hear Phantom! glad you enjoyed it.

[@flatpedalsykkel]

Today I randomly met Joakim at a grocery store here in Norway. I thought I recognized the man, and asked if it really was him. Yeah, he said, and with a smile he shook my hand. We did talk for a bit. What an class act this man is! On my way back home i was blasting Sabaton loud in my car ;)

[@huntercleveland7950]

Sabaton is an example of a band that really cares about their fans and about the hard work they put in. I wish America and Canada still had artists like this. It is a very huge contrast between North America and Europe when it comes to music.

[@lenaengell8528]

I would say that it is because Sabaton and their members are Swedish, that they care so much about their fans :)

[@huntercleveland7950]

@@lenaengell8528 Well for the most part Modern Scandinavia are a kind people. So I guess you have a point.

[@mikehall5815]

I'm 60 years old, I have never had a band grab me by the balls like this band has. The energy on stage is incredible. 82nd all the way.💪

Its actually a common thing that happens when people start to sing, most traces of accents dissappear. Try it.

[@MrPerson61]

He does a great job with his singing voice but you can still tell he has a bit of an accent and there are a couple lyrics with incorrect pronunciation or grammatical errors. But its still really good for a foreign band, and still are my favorite band overall.

[@evangelineirene6994]

@@PonyBoy1776 when your neighnbour really love your singing voice, they even call the police to enjoy it with them.

[@lordironhidex]

When they release their Cold War/Korean War album, I wish they make a song of the Filipino division (with some Turkish soldiers) who stuck at Yultong Bridge to defend it against 100k Chinese soldiers. Other countries fled to retreat already but they went on fighting and won See: Battle of Yultong Bridge

[@gabrielmora5092]

That sounds interesting I would love to hear a song about that. And I want to hear a song in the Korean War about the borinquenners/ 65 infantry regiment, PuertoRicans that were heros as well in the Korean war. A song about the Filipinos and PuertoRicans in the Korean war would be awesome

[@lordironhidex]

@@gabrielmora5092 yeah! Now ai can't wait when they create that Cold War Album. Maybe I could try emailing this idra

Considering how forgotten the Korean War is all around the world, Sabaton really should make a Cold War album with a few Korea songs.

@@DarthNoox Its lyrics are nicely thought out and i like them but idk it just seems old and outdated compared to the modern sabaton 'masterpieces'. The guitars also sound very... old. I get its only their 2nd album (1st is Metalizer which is worse trust me). If you want a bad sabaton song... just literally look at their album metalizer. It sucks compared to future albums.
