Sabaton - To Hell And Back - Requested reaction

[@digitalmouse3314]

I love when vets react to Sabaton.

[@grindcorejoe6661]

PTSD is not a shame and it is no sign of Weakness. Get the Help you deserve!

[@vicolin6126]

Sabaton's songs are 99% about military history, in some way at least. Sabaon is neutral in their story telling, so you will hear stories from all sides of war, even the bad guys (everything is relative of course). Sometimes they ask questions in their songs that makes the audience think. Overall, a great Swedish band. They do a lot of WW1 and WW2 songs, but also older stuff as well. They even made a concept album about the Swedish Empire (in 2 languages no less). You might enjoy the "Carolus Rex"-album in general, as it, among things, sings about a time in history when people did what they thought God demanded of them.

I would recommend en livstid i krig (a lifetime of war) live Scandinavium Gothenburg 2020.

[@maryamniord2214]

​@@Templarofsteel88yes that is best of the best 🎉!

[@richardjosephus6802]

The only band that can make grown men weep. You are in for a long journey with this band

[@GlobalOutcast]

Fun fact one of Mr Murphys sons wrote to Sabaton after the release of this song saying. "Thank for for not making another country song about my father"

[@JeanneDawley]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this song. Sabaton is a great band! I look forward to you discovering more of their music. I appreciate your insightful comments about PTSD.

[@yz_859]

Thank you for the reaction. It’s amazing how open-minded you must have become after starting this channel. I fully understand that people get captivated by artists such as Dimash, Angelina, Amira, GigiVibes, Morisette, but you must have discovered a whole new plethora of genres during this journey, including metal, rap, techno, etc.

[@paulschmehl2124]

Yes, and I enjoy all of it.

[@yz_859]

Yes, I’m 100% sure you do, as I have seen a longer part of your journey into various rabbit holes. I’m just waiting for someone to introduce you to Falling in reverse

[@Dookie-j7q]

I'm an old man too. Sabaton all history. Hurt I saw in my Father's eyes. Cousin,brother. Uncle,we woke up with a broomstick.

I know the Vietnam vets did not get enough welcome back I am swedish not american but i am a military man and i just want to say i all appreciate your service tour/ tours

[@DuBstep115]

"Received every military combat award available" is so insane feat.

[@najroe]

great reaction, more Sabaton please. Sabaton is a Swedish band with a loooong list of history based music. Sabaton also has an award winning history channel that gives background to over 120 if their songs (not music award, academic, aimed at education of the public) . Sabaton videos are often have dedications and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but... watching to the very end is frequently well worth it. I know you said to not request here, and this is by no means that, it is just a list with some Sabaton songs with minimal information to help if you want to use. Animated STORY videos (short Animated history lessons with music videos in them) No bullets fly, enemy showing mercy to injured aircrew in a nearly wrecked aircraft barely still flying, even escorting them to safety. Night witches, Young (17-28) female bomber pilots in ww2 fighting the Nazi despite the discrimination they faced and being given obsolete equipment, aircraft ... Lady of the dark, female fighting alongside men during ww1 and being highly respected and even more decorated. Red baron, the famous fighter pilot of ww1 first soldier, unlikely French hero in ww1. Epic ORIGINAL videos. Bismark, about the sinking of the ship Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914 40:1, about polish soldiers, badly outnumbered (just under 750 in all) facing 42 000 germans, they where BADLY outgunned desperately defending against the German invasion 1939 (with odds actually close to 55:1 they held for 3 DAYS when ammunition and supplies ran out. Uprising, the Warsaw Uprising against the nazi germans during 1944. you just saw to hell and back, the story of Audie Murphy (highly decorated) and his struggle AFTER the war, so about PTSD and drug addiction that returning soldiers can face. Fields of verdun, the 300+ day long battle fought there. Price of a mile, about the battle of Passchendaele Screaming Eagles, about the battle of the bulge Live performances 40:1 from poland Uprising from poland En livstid I krig live from Göteborg Sweden (in Swedish but there are subtitles) , very heavy again, about thoughts of a young man going to war. Two covers that are good Defence of Moscow, self explained 1916 about the devastating battle of the somme in ww1, casualties topped 1 milion if you count both sides, all for 6 miles of ground, these are just some, there are plenty more.

[@DoctorGibbon]

nature documentary comforting voice, genuine good advice on trauma, you remind me of my own grandpa, rest in peace

[@Spetulhu]

Aye, Murphy himself said he wasn't fearless - he just felt he had to do something when his friends were being killed. That may be why he got it so bad once he got home. He wasn't just afraid for his own life but also for the lives of his brothers in battle, and there was no way he could save everyone. Part of the trauma for soldiers is the feeling of guilt when you survive and a mate doesn't, even if there was nothing you could do. We know more about these things today than 80 years ago, but still not enough. Oh, and Sabaton does express it well. Many of their songs do describe what the poor Private in the trenches feels about the war his high and mighty overlords got him into - even if the poor guy doesn't even know enough to blame them.

[@Adamziemniak-v8y]

sabaton purple heart, christmas truce and 1916 ... belive me ...

[@kartoffelnpommesgut]

The Final Solution is heavy stuff too.

[@alancarter41]

Many of the lyrics in this song were inspired by the poem "The Crosses Grow on Anzio" which was written by Audie Murphy after the war. PTSD was also covered by Charlie Daniels in the song "Still in Saigon." For another emotionally hard-hitting song about PTSD I recommend "The Wrong Side of Heaven" by Five Finger Death Punch.

[@erika_itsumi5141]

my grandfather is a Vietnam Vet, he got there in 67, Light Horse 3-17th first air cav, hunter killers. door gunner. he was shot down with his pilot, he couldn't move, my grandfather had to drag himself and his pilot away from the burning loach, and he said this after thanksgiving dinner and what I vividly remember him saying is "we should have been dead, why that helicopter never blew up ill never know" we lost him December 24th 2019. due to medical complications, he was 68, he earned the purple heart from his injuries, im 27 now, and growing up he wasn't just a father figure to me, he was my best friend. and I miss him everyday. vary nice reaction sir, and thank you for your service

[@kjelledbom1728]

Its so interesting that somethign so horrible as war can same time be so exciting to watch in movies, or in this case music. Be safe all

[@YvonneGBG]

Thanks for the reaction 🙏🇸🇪 I think you would love Sabaton doing “En livstid i krig” live in Gothenburg. (with subtitles) It is very powerful and emotional

[@NinoMit87]

SAbaton songs with just beautiful stories that hit me hard are: No bullits fly (animated edition) and Christmas Truce. I would recommend those two if you would like to hear a song with a beautiful story.

[@lup7271]

Lately there has been very good results with some new PTSD treatments, that have shown effect on PTSD that is resistant to the usual treatments. these are still experimental but with the kind of effects as well as how the legal framework will change in the coming years i expect that many veterans will be able to receive much needed help that previously wasn't possible.

[@Didymus20X6]

My Sabaton suggestions: "No Bullets Fly." I would recommend the Animated Story Video. And watch the whole thing. "Christmas Truce." "1916."

[@nenikiato3230]

I cant say i have ptsd, but i saw my father kill himself when i was 10yo, i have still problems with that 23 years later, im suicidal myself, im so used to that subject that death is nothing i fear, but i got diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago, and i can tell from all i know from my father so was he exactly the same as me, he probobly had ADHD and thats where i got it from, and i dont want to walk in his boots, its up to me to break that trend. Btw great reaction, many people struggle with trauma in different ways and people should talk more about it,

I think I was a little hard on Sabaton, they were probably one of the most popular bands in my battery when I was in the army. They're actually not bad, and kind of great message.

[@agnieszkazuk]

Thank you for your interesting comments and your calm behaviour, I love your reaction! I'm interested in history and this led me to listen to this metal band, exeptional metal band! I love Sabaton for their songs and stories they tell like the bards. Liked and subscribed. I hope to see more your Sabaton reactions. :-)

[@paulschmehl2124]

@@agnieszkazuk Thank you for the sub.

[@Didymus20X6]

Sabaton has a channel dedicated to the history behind their music. A historian named Indy (no, he doesn't melt any Natzees with any ancient Hebrew artifacts) discusses the history and interviews members of the band about their songs. It's called SABATON HISTORY here on YT.

[@jzl2003]

thank you for your service sir! My father was in the marine corp in Vietnam. i'm sure it affects him greatly, but he never showed any signs. thank you for reacting to sabaton.

[@dingodelta]

Im a former navy man myself (Medic), I never saw combat but i met plenty of people that did, you see photos of them before combat and them after and you can definitely see they were not the same people. Then i spent 15 years being an EMT/Paramedic and now i get asked by the rookies - "What have you seen" the amount of carnage i have seen over my 15 years was probably worth 1 day on those battlefields and i have seen a lot even to make a seasoned EMT sick.

[@digitalmouse3314]

Yeah they an actual historian on the writing staff they have a documentary channel as well.

[@ullis5125]

Save Christmas Truce for later but That 1 Will make u cry. Its a masterpiece. Also check Sabatons history channel ❤

[@A_Name_]

I would recommend, father, prisoner 4859, and price of a mile. Bismark and christmas truce are the most common suggestions but I think those others hit the hardest. Edit: and devil dogs, semper fi

[@Megan-c7b]

Brilliant reaction. Thank you sir for your insight🫶

[@merryrose6788]

Great reaction! Just a quibble, he didn't deal with alcoholism, as alcohol made him ill. He was addicted to pills to deal with his PTS. He couldn't sleep at night, had bad dreams from the war, so the doctors gave him pills. But, the pills didn't help, so he checked into a motel for about 5 days and got off them, cold turkey. This video is perhaps what he went through, but no one really knows. Audie's main addiction was gambling. Despite money troubles, he refused lucrative offers for alcohol or cigarette advertisements because he didn't think kids should see him saying these are ok. A great man, with scars from the war.

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

Audie Murphy. He went at 16, and this is his poetry. Possibly the most decorated Soldier by American, France, and England combined. I remember seeing zoo Hell and Back as a child.
