Title track to the 2016 8th album, the song is about the last stand of the Swiss Guards during the sack of Rome in 1527. 189 Swiss Guards delayed the attackers, allowing the Pope to escape. Until you get a chance to see them live in person, there live videos to watch. "En Livstid I Krig" from the Great Tour in Gothernburg. "Ghost Division", "40:1", and "Uprising" from the 2012 Polish Woodstock festival (550k fans), and a fun song "Swedish Pagan's" at Wacken 2019 feat Tina Guo on cello.

I concur

[@Templarofsteel88]

I was there in Gothenburg when they played en livstid i krig and I can only agree with you.

[@drigerdranzer7514]

Make sure to have subtitles on for En livstid i krig.

Sabaton are one of the best live bands out there, also their stage shows are awesome specially in Europe with tanks and shit on the stage!

[@alancarter41]

Saw them in Oct 22 in Nashville, they used the same stage props (tank drum riser, rifle mike stands, sandbags and barbed wire) they do in Europe although they had less pyro due to the venue. The only real difference is the stage size are less since the venues are often smaller and there are no festivals in the USA worth going to.

[@mindtrust]

@@alancarter41 Great to know, only saw a few video clips where the venues where quite small, but I guess it's changing as they are growing in the US also.

[@alancarter41]

@@mindtrust Interesting factoid, the longest Sabaton concert (to my knowledge) was at the Ogden Theater (max capacity 1600) in Denver in 2021after the Priest/Sabaton US tour was canceled. They set up an impromptu Sabaton only concert and played for over 2 hours. There are fan videos of KZbin, definitely worth a look as it is really different.

[@mindtrust]

@@alancarter41 Cool, to be fair my 3 best concert memories all comes from small venues with less than 3000 in capacity and my 3 worst once are from venues with +50 000 capacity 👍🏻

[@SweetChuck008]

I have their DVD from WACKEN. Sucks is their US shows have been in doors

[@AskiFin]

189 swiss are about the famous "Sack(ing) of Rome".. where 189 defenders of Pope fought to make sure he gets out. They were against 14,000 germans and 6,000 spaniards.

[@ML_SE]

The bass is painted as the Swedish flag, see below😁. They sound like power metal 😂 A grandiose sound. 🤓🇸🇪 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@jeffbowden8367]

Awesome LIVE 🤘saw them at Wembley Arena, London last year. MAGNIFICENT 🔥

[@Aurgelmir87]

For great live performances from Sabaton I think "40:1" at Woodstock Poland probably takes the cake.

[@SuperSupermanpunch]

Same consert GhostDivision 💯🤘👊

[@miafranlund6982]

What you see is what you get!!! In other words...yes they are this tight live 😂. Have you been reacting to ghost division or uprising live Woodstock yet??? Otherwise you are in for a treat!!! About the Bells....well for me I think of Hells Bells with AC/DC.

[@alancarter41]

There live shows are epic and high energy with amazing crowd interaction. Best part is the music is great live and you can see they are having the time of their lives on stage.

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

they are tight live...very tight. This covers the history of the Swiss Guard at the Vatican. Watch Soldier of Heaven.

[@Chrissweet1701]

They are that tied together live. It's amazing

[@donaldhodges6229]

A favorite song of mine. Can't go wrong with a sabaton song....just like with Nightwish and Epica and like them, they sound as good or bettter live.

[@NataschaS195]

It is very easy to fall in love with them 😉

[@MegaDog555]

sabaton lady of the dark animated story video

[@merryrose6788]

Loved your reaction:) Yes, as other posters have written, the band is this tight live. The suggestions you have, Woodstock 2012, In Livstid I Krig, Live at Gothenburg, are great suggestions. I also like the smaller venue videos. Watch "Sabaton - Ghost Division + Stormtroopers [Live in Portland 9/17/22]. They had just played in Seattle that Thursday, and Portland that Friday. The September 17th concert was their second Portland show, and sold out. It was so great to be in a concert again after the whole lock-down stuff. This video gives an idea of even in small venues, the musicians in Sabaton don't hold back at all, and they don't need pyros to give a great show:) My other favorite is the Houston 2022, with the videographer in a gas mask. And, though it's probably too long for a reaction, listen to Hellfest 2019. Joakim's famous and fine voice gave out on the 3rd song. Chris and Tommy then took turns singing the rest of the concert, with Joakim bringing them lyric sheets, cause the two guitarists don't usually sing all the song. This is a legendary concert, as Sabaton had already played at this festival, but that evening's scheduled headliner, Manowar, backed out, and Sabaton was brave enough to step up and face disappointed Manowar fans. The concert made heavy metal history as being a great concert. And the posts are really interesting to read on the videos (There are two different videos of the concert from two different fan-videographers.) Sabaton's efforts were much appreciated by the crowd.

[@psychee1]

Yes, they are in fact this tight live :)

[@loneghostwolf7388]

POWERMETAL! this band is just the amazing 😊

[@1982jeepcj8]

Sabaton has four songs that are homages to their influences, "'Metal Machine, Metal Ripper, Metal Crue and ManOwaR" Every lyric in these songs is a Band Name, Album, Song title that they like. You should absolutely check them out. incidently, Sabaton is on a US TOUR NOW, I am going to see them in Reading, PA at the end of the month

[@warbear323]

Yes, they are this good live. I saw them in Salt Lake City in 2022. Even though it was a small venue, the show wasn't much different than you see here (except for the big screen). Hannes' drums were atop a tank, there was barbed wire at the front of the stage, machine gun mic stands, etc. The band was as tight as ever. I have never seen/heard a bad performance by Sabaton, live or otherwise.

[@mavfin8720]

This is one of their top 3 songs, imo. They are so good at setting a 'vibe' or 'tone' for a song. You can hear the 'holy' feel in this song about the Sack of Rome in 1527, and the Swiss Guards last stand at the Vatican. Also, I'd be stumbling over those fast lyrics. I'd have my tongue all twisted up trying to attempt that.

[@C-B.eXe85]

Its like watching me being impressed and falling in love with this band and nightwish,jinjer and epica few years ago.... living in Sweden so i have seen Sabaton live so cool....and Epica as a front bend for Metallica ...if I ever recognize you on some shows in Europe you my friend have a beer..... keep the good work and try Woodstock Poland lives..... ghost division live is my request ...energy is just amazing

[@hajovelt3083]

Sorry, the guitar Player at the beginning is Tommy Johannson and he has nothing to do with Iron Maiden. Same as the 2nd guitar Player Chris Rörland. But b.t.w. Tommy is a brillant singer and he has a lot of solo Vids Here one YT. And since a few months he is no longer with Sabaton.

[@Rix.67]

Nice reaction dude... Suggest: 'Screaming Eagles' or 'stormtroopers' 🇸🇪

[@MegaDog555]

US tour in may

[@SiwElfsberg]

You have to check out Stormtroopers, it’s absolutely amazing🔥

[@johncrwarner]

If you want to hear "the best Sabaton song not written by Sabaton" you should try Nanowar of Steel's song called "Pasadena 1994" which is a brilliant pastiche with references to this very song. This Italian comedy metal band are so good that they even got Joakim Brodén to sing guest vocals on the song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWqmqoh3o7CIqdE Enjoy PS they start their US tour in mid April check their tour dates: It looks like it is mostly the north Eastern USA and never crossed the Mississippi River but worth checking out.

[@jenniferloring8112]

A couple great live tracks are “Angels Calling” live in Prague and “Ghost Division “ at Woodstock in Poland 2012

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

I concur

[@whirledpeaz5758]

I love how this song has the feeling of coming right out of the hymnal. Let's agree to call Sabaton "Valor Metal"

[@mpainter22]

do you really see what they're like live??? En Livstid i Krig, live in Gothenburg, put the subtitles on as it's Swedish

[@SuperSupermanpunch]

Love how you take on Sabaton brother🤘👊❤️ Try GhostDivision, 40:1 and Uprising live in Poland 🎉🎉 After that go for Sabaton animated videos lady of the dark, Red Baron, the first soldier and stormtroopers 💯🤘👊 And of course 'a lifetime of war" live in Gothenburg and caps on

[@vingilote1]

Thank you for being companions on my drive through the night yesterday 🥰 Had a lot of fun singing along with you! 🤘🎤🎸🎶

[@hornbach9279]

You should check out Ghost Division, the 2012 offical live from woodstock( poland) its so fucking good

[@MegaDog555]

dude they bring the power live its 100 times better

[@alancarter41]

hey megadog...

[@MegaDog555]

hey alan @@alancarter41

[@claudiakrieglsteiner6888]

Please check out Above the sky from Majestica ❤ you will love it 🫶and from Sabaton Soldier of heaven 🔥🔥🔥

[@NataschaS195]

It's a great song, one of their most successful, I think. About the bells, they just remind me of church bells. I think my local church sounds just the same. Would make sense to me because the song is about the Swiss Guard and the Pope's escape from the Vatican in 1527. Great live shows are "En livstid I krig " in Gothenburg and "40:1" in Woodstock Poland. But also the whole show in Wacken 2019 from their 20th anniversary. But I would also recommend all of their animated videos. To know the story behind the songs makes them even greater.

[@claudiakrieglsteiner6888]

This band is simply powerful ,great, fantastic and they are wonderful persons . The Songs are amazing ❤🔥🔥🔥

[@sayaphantom6385]

Since you're speculating about their live qualities, I recommend you do reactions to some live stuff. How about Ghost Division or Uprising live in Woodstock... and definitely En Livstid I Krig live in Gothenburg. For the last one definitely turn on the English subtitles to get the full experience! Until then - I love to see people going down the Sabaton rabbithole and having fun while diving deeper. Keep that up :)

[@drigerdranzer7514]

And 40:1 from Woodstock. A big (literally) surprise awaits him in that song.😉🇵🇱

[@TheMeidica]

A recommendation for you, check out Uprising Live from Woodstock ( Polish metal festival) and judge their vocals

[@SweetChuck008]

You could do their whole catalog

[@SweetChuck008]

The Sack of Rome 1527

[@kjelledbom1728]

I think they have some tracked choirs in their shows, but since they are singing same time i dont mind it. This is about the sacking of Rome at 1527? and the Swizz guards who always have defended the Pope tried to give the Pope enough time to escape when over a thousand sellswords looted the city. I think u should watch a Sabaton history episode of every video u are about to watch. ty for the reaction

[@2Ahto]

Check same song but live @ Masters of Rock 2017 with orchestra : kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4Tdpq1ujLulqM0 and you see no difference

[@erikpalmer1201]

Its a Swedish base

[@TheFreddehalmstad]

Stop with the Iron Maiden crap…. It’s kind of insulting.

[@GP42Reacts]

Then be insulted lol

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

I don't see it like an insult. Sabaton being compared with one of the most iconic and best bands out there can also be a compliment. 😊🤘
