SABATON - Livgardet (The Royal Guard) 🇸🇪 Reaction

[@A_Name_]

@3:45 I think you were on the rigt track. The swedish version is closer to the real history. The english version was more "theatrical". It was like the movie that would be made on the subject because its just the "cool" (violent) parts.

This version makes me extra proud. I did my consciption at Svea Livgarde back in 1986 😊

[@Nitroz2990]

I don't think you can get the true feeling without being Swedish, this is so much of what we are and it's really patriotic. Most Swedes are proud of our history and this summons it up perfectly.

English versions are like for larger audience and Swedish versions are like more personal. Particularly En Livstid i krig (Swe) (live from Gothenburg is a must one) And life time of war tells a story about of how the whole of Europe went mad (1/3 population died in some parts)

[@Templarofsteel88]

I was there in Gothenburg and I can only agree with you.

[@Nitroz2990]

En livstid i krig is epic.

[@StoriesFromHistory-rv4oi]

There are two Sabaton history episodes for this. One for the Swedish version which tells the general history of the guard. The English version tells the story of the Skirmish at Bender

You should not watch this video when you're hungry. It's pure torture watching all that lovely food.

My own take on the scene with the whine spilling out over the map is that it symbolises Sweden's bloody history. For about 100 years, Sweden was a heavily militarized country that waged war all the time against all our neighboring countries, and was also attacked by the same. So, my take is that the whine represents blood spilled all over Sweden, then Joakim (the singer) rolls up the map as if to say "we are done with war" - representing our 200+ years of peace.

History, live and official sure it gonna be long video but "Great tour" live versions are filmed in as in good fashion.

Tbh, just make reactions to all the Sabaton History videos you find interesting and ofc the songs you have listened to so far. ChatGPT spits out a lot of words, but it fails to grasp most of what the songs are about. It can pretty much only look surface-deep and base its interpretation on the lyrics.

Interesting, being a Swede, seeing modern wars up front, having work at the war crimes Tribunal in the Hague, being an Officer in the Reserves myself with loads of experiences what war is about and where Sweden is today with "rebuilding" its Total Defence concept in an again troublesome and uncertain world,...as this appeal to certain types of citizens,..it also narrow what is today to be "proud to be a Swede" excluding the "new Swedes" who are all crucial to our defence and future society. Geat song otherwise,..but please be wider in expressing pride of our beautiful country, Sweden as it is fantastic and where our values as well. :-)
