Yes. A cover of this would be awesome. I have always loved this song and the sacrifice of the Swiss Guards to protect the Pope. This video used clips from live shows and images of the Last Stand album cover and yes, Hannes was the drummer. Current members are: Joakim Broden, lead vocals (and guitar/keyboards when used); Par Sundstrom, bass/backing vocals; Chris Rorland, guitar/backing vocals; Tommy Johansson, guitar/backing vocals; Hannes van Dahl, drums/backing vocals/Floor Jansen's husband. Joakim and Par write the majority of their songs. There was a great interview on The Charismatic Voice reactor channel with Jokim where he discussed their songwriting technique and other interesting facts about the band. Sabaton also have vlogs of most of their tours which are interesting. Tank the Tech reactor has interviewed both Hannes and Joakim for his The Back Lounge podcast on his channel. As for what to react to, all of their songs are good. Some of the fan favorites are Primo Victoria (Normandy Invasion), 40:1 (Polish resistance to the Nazi invasion, the Woodstock live version is awesome), To Hell and Back (story of Audie Murphy; fun fact, one of their on stage tanks is named Audie), Winged Hussars (relief of Vienna), and Night Witches (Russian female nigh bomber regiment, watch the full animated story video to the end). Thanks for sharing the journey with us. Stay Safe, God bless, keep rocking.

You must react to Tommy Johansson The leadguitarist in Sabaton He is the big guy in the video He have his own youtubechannel with a lot of amacing cowers He is an multiinstrumentalist and play all the instrument himself He is an genius His voice is amacing and the range is cracy He plays in the same league with Marko He drop a new cower ewery friday so the rabbitwhole is wery deep Maybe some Queen, Elton John Celine Dion or Joerney He drop a new cower today at tvelwe a clock It,s like christmas ewery friday His last cower Gary Moores Empty rooms is epic

[@carinalundstrom7566]

Second that. Tommy's solo stuff is breathtaking

[@marinamucic908]

I agree with everything you said

[@mort58]

I concur

[@alancarter41]

He just dropped a cover of Skidrow -18 and Life. Really, really awesome.

[@chriso6719]

Title track of the 8th album in 2016, so yes that is Hannes on drums(he joined 2014). The album was recorded with Thobbe Englund on guitar, he left later that year and was replaced by Tommy Johansson. Lead vocals- Joakim Broden, bass- Par Sundstrom, both original members and primary songwriters. And Chris Rorland on guitar(joined 2012)

[@danwhite9644]

I love this song one of my favorite of theirs. You should react to soldier of heaven. And night witches

[@nillanlindqvist9697]

Nice reaction Guys! You should check out the guitarist Tommy Johansson covers.

[@frank1963]

I concur, Tommy is a very talented person.

[@alastairmcintyre4752]

The song is about the Sack of Rome by 20,000 Hapsburg troops in 1527 . The Swiss Guard are the Papal bodyguard and at that time numbered 189 they fought to the death to allow the Pope to escape

[@Bonovin]

Swiss guards still there today !

[@Warhaller]

And we are proud of it. Also: Not the only last stand that swiss Guards did. Swiss Mercs where all over europe at that time. It tells a lot about our determination to defend and is part of the reason why we are still so stuborn about swiss neutrality today.

[@sagittariusa9012]

@@Warhaller Yeah, they gave their lives also for the French king.

[@sagittariusa9012]

There were also some Spanish and Italian mercenaries.

Great reaction, guys!🤘 If you'll cover this song in the church, will you add some pyro to that show too?🤭🔥Sabaton use a lot of pyro on their European shows. But they play in bigger venues there. They did actually use the whole package in Montreal, Canada when they played in a big arena.

[@RexRegisPeter]

They are actually on a tour at smaller venues in Sweden right now, I saw them a couple of weeks ago in a small arena without any pyro at all.

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

@@RexRegisPeter Yep, I'm going to see them in a small venue not far from my hometown. 😉🤘 On Saturday, actually. It's a part of the "Swedish Tour" they started during the pandemic. They had to postpone a lot of shows abroad at that time. They set their minds to visit towns and places they've never played at before.

[@RexRegisPeter]

@@lionfromthenorth4580 Lund? I was at the Alingsås venue. I actually enjoyed the small concert, more personal feeling to actually see the band and not just watch the big screen on stage to be able to see them.

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

@@RexRegisPeter I actually saw them last year in Kristianstad (where I'm from) . My first Sabaton concert was in Oslo on the Great Tour. I was at front row, and I enjoyed that as much as the one in Kristianstad Arena. I hope this time the silent "library" Arena in Lund can handle Sabaton... 😁🤘

[@TheWaylandir]

1527 was the sack of Rome, the end of the Renaisance.

[@MegaDog555]

love this song

[@tatazuki1451]

Such a powerful song....❤❤❤

[@mavfin8720]

I think this is my #2 on my Sabaton list behind Bismarck...but, they have so many good ones! (Sack of Rome, 1527...)

[@Flokarl1]

Best band ever!!!!!!!! Why dont you check out their song "Caroleans Prayer" (With the Lords Prayer in the Swedish language ). Mighty powerful as well!!!

[@marcusdedorsson8741]

One of my favorites by Sabaton 😊

[@frank1963]

I love Sabaton they are one of my favorite bands. Alan already explained all the band members very well. I love all their music so I am not going to suggest any. It’s great to see them live although sometimes the animated videos of their song explain the stories much better. You probably know this but the Swiss Guards are still the official protectors of the Vatican. I recently toke some nice pictures of them when I was visiting the Vatican. 🫶🤘

[@Muhicproduction]

You should do the Red Baron by Sabaton. Incredibly catchy song.

[@drigerdranzer7514]

And make sure to do the animated story video.

[@MegaDog555]

new line up is Joakim Par Chris Tommy and Hannes

[@marinamucic908]

This is one of my favourite Sabaton songs, try Winged Hussars next or the song Carolean's Prayer from their Carolus Rex album, there is a brand-new lyric video for that song and within the song there is a Lord's Prayer in Swedish (and the reason is that Carolean soldiers were VERY religious - they believed that God already decided whether they live or die in battle, so there was no reason for them to worry about it - made them very determined and dangerous opponent)

[@alleninfinity6730]

A fun little video, Floor doesn't really play the guitar in this, but they all having a laugh. She is visiting Hannes and they have a bit of fun with Joakim, during a concert. Copie de sabaton strasbourg 20/12/2014 resist & bite kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqqmlamZoaqdg5I

I agree. You should watch it, even if it’s for yourself, you will like it.

[@jaynekavanagh4790]

Yes Hannes is the drummer he's married to Floor.

[@Drescher1984]

Yeah it was one of there biggest US/ CA tour they have ever been on. But if there's enough chatter about them, they'll be back.

[@alancarter41]

Sabaton seems to tour the US every couple of years for the last ten years.

check out Sabatons history channel on youtube for all the stories behind their songs

[@carlsjoberg4865]

first of all, this beautiful man in background need to come more forward and talk. Listten, this is a song who means so much for so many people and the way they did was pretty amazing i think, and i like ur comments aswell and iam glad u like it. next time we might have something better to share for ya

[@BigzampanoXXL]

good song, for me similar to soldier of heaven - which i like.

[@sulliken77]

Gonna watch them in April. With BABYMETAL as special guests. It will be awsome. You know that the drummer Hannes is married with Floor Jansen?

[@Calumetto]

Hey, you don't need much gear to do a cover. Sabaton done acoustic is great. Here's Sabaton doing "Christmas Truce" acoustic in a public square. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH_Od5eFlq11oNk .

You should really checkout the "Sabaton History Channel" , next up "Swedish Pagans "

[@tarmotyyri6733]

🇫🇮 👍‍Thanks for this & hopefully it wasn't your last stand with Sabaton. P.S. Should any of you like sea shanties, this is a great one by a female multi-instrumentalist: The Wellerman (Gingertail Cover) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3_QfaFslpKdp9k

That is a great recommendation! I love her cover and I think secondhand souls would really get a kick out of it, definitely high on the "digometer" and plenty of fizz

[@justincrowe5676]

Great reaction guys, but I definitely think y'all have to check out my guy Dan Vasc. He's done a cover of this same song and I dare to say did better. And has also done a good amount of NIGHTWISH Covers and never ruined any of them but actually just put his own Lil twist to them but slays all of them. I think you guys would really like him... BTW like 90% of his covers he made into metal covers

Sabaton is my favourite band and I am glad that you are reacting to them but why have you put on subtitles when they are singing in English perfectly understandable. I am English and I do not need subtitles unless they are singing in their native language of Swedish. I have been to Stockholm the capital city of Sweden where the majority of Swedish citizens speak English as a second language, I just can't understand why Americans put on subtitles when someone from a non English speaking country who speaks perfect English and us British can understand everything that they say. I have been to America and I have American cousin's also my great grandparents on my late mum's side where American, but with all due respect to American's it just boggles my mind when subtitles are used even when someone is speaking English. It is just a mystery I have never ever worked out. British Sabaton Fan 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@amadeusdeathstrick11]

They were talkin about the crusades.

[@BlueTigerColt]

Close but it was how the swiss guard protected the pope as he escaped during the Germanic wars. They sacked Rome and 189 Swiss guard fought a rear guard action to save the Pope and some of the citizens of the Vatican. It is the story of how the Swiss Guard cemented their role as what we now know as the Vatican Guard.

[@thelocustgrappler513]

They are not

[@amadeusdeathstrick11]

@@thelocustgrappler513 yes they are, look up the last stand history. It's the 189 swiss guard who gave their lives to protect Christianity from the Muslims. It was referred to as the great crusade.
