[@harbl99]

Joakim (the guy who can play keyboards): "They said to me, you sing until we find a singer." And the legends say that if you listen carefully on a cold winter night in Sweden, you will hear the low growling sound of the Sabatank rumbling across the landscape as Sabaton look for a singer to this very day.

Playing Mario cart is the true test of friendship, either you bond over the struggle, or it breaks you apart

[@kaeseblock1362]

Came here to say the same. Friendships that survive Mario Cart are likely to stay.

[@MacOriginalGamer]

I could say the same about Mortal Kombat. 🍺😎

[@alexamerling79]

Damn right especially on Rainbow road...

[@Max-The-Axe]

Same with fifa

[@lordgino2006]

But let's all agree that mario party is a friendship destroyer

[@mgirardi1]

Origin of Sabaton: Lead singer - Joakim, until we find one Band Name - literally only name suggested Audition - Drink beer and play Judas Priest. This is literally the single most organic origin story I’ve ever heard.

[@MichaelDavis-mk4me]

Sabaton in 10 years : "How Sabaton actually became a renowed cooking show and a video game channel!" Joakim on the beginnings : "I think it really started during an interview in 2021 when we made a toast..."

[@Sabaton]

You never know what's coming 😉

[@shadowdragon7701]

​@Sabaton could you make a video game where we fight the battles you sing about

[@TwoStrokeViking]

"We play heavy metal and is called Sabaton, what is a Sabaton? It's a heavy metal thing you can kick people with"

[@ferminballesteros7462]

You are actually the first band that I consider myself a fan of (I'm 18, study history, and discovered you about 2-3 years ago)

[@Bullski123]

First time i ever heard of Sabaton was about 10 years ago when i watched this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWfbpZmEbdWrbJo

[@kamalinsofiya]

Me too mate. I'm 18 too and I discovered Sabaton for the first time when I was 15 in October 2018. I still remember that moment

[@YaBoiNW]

Bro we’re literally the same. I’m 18, I discovered them 3 years ago, I’ve been a fan ever since, and I’m currently at college studying history

[@kamalinsofiya]

@@YaBoiNW We're literally same

[@nzwotb2525]

Fuck me 2 im 18 and discovered sabaton in around June 2017 and since been a massive fan first song I listened to was metal machine put over a clip from a movie.

[@stoneydixon4249]

"In Sweden, it was all about Black Metal, if you wanted to play in a band, you played Black Metal." Except for ABBA, they bow to no one.

[@dl_supertroll]

I love the ironic use of In Flanders Field with Tommy's quote

[@trashtasticus7714]

Driving along in my Audi one day, listening to my Sabaton playlist, when Ghost Division came on... Suddenly I had the urge to perform a dangerous overtake on the unsuspecting Peugeot in front of me! 😅

[@isaacmarrufo8935]

I too was listening to ghost division in my Volkswagen, and I kid you not when it was about to hit the drop, my car died on the highway

[@davidogundipe808]

Sabaton and Powerwolf are the best power metal bands for me.

[@mylove-or1vd]

I only know Sabaton, but Powerwolf is . . . nah, don't care.

[@francescopugliese9630]

@GamingWithGman true, but they are fuc*ing amazing like this boys

[@francescopugliese9630]

a song with powerwolf and sabaton playing togheter would be, just, just , superb

[@LeToplache007]

Sabaton is very very far from a traditional power metal band. Powerwolf is much closes to that definition. Can't discredit nor say which of them is better. They are both very good bands in their own right.

[@DustMug]

@@francescopugliese9630 they could do In the Name of God. Then realize they're both singing completely different songs.

[@MSTavares]

"No friendship is stronger than between two men that play videogames together" the quote to end all quotes

[@magical_Crossong]

A toaster that roasts the Sabaton logo thing on the bread and make some sounds when finished is what we need.

[@Fuchswinter]

Tommy destroying Joakim in Mario Kart is the exact dynamic I imagined they have.

[@john_ipu8721]

4:08 "you sing until we find a singer" I think they double crossed you on that 🤣

[@laurazucchiatti8761]

Joakim and Tommy are so funny, made me scream laughing especially 9:28 😂

Jest Sabaton - jest MOC💪🇵🇱🇸🇪💪

[@ordotectonicus8585]

What a journey. Your music is my favourite and motivates me to do something badass when i have no reason to lol

[@reaper_guardian_8214]

[@MrDragonforce350]

I honestly don't think I could love these guys more. Holy shit, I'm so glad I found this band!! \m/

[@Sabaton]

Thank you so much for that Phil

[@ベルクト-t5b]

I love SABATON from Japan

[@timothyjones9430]

The absolute raw power Sabaton puts into its songs and stories is incredible.

[@cw7legionofpewrights596]

My cousin introduced me to your music recently and I like it a lot really quickly especially the historical ones.

[@Sabaton]

Welcome on board!

[@cw7legionofpewrights596]

@@Sabaton look up the story of the bomber b17 12666, the bomber crew faced down over 17 zeroes in pacific to do a mapping mission over New Guinea and no fighter escort did it on their own and flew back and lost their bombardier but he downed over 4 planes and the dogfight lasted 45 minutes

My 2 year old son has picked the Bismark as his favorite battleship. When this video opened with Bismark he came running yelling "BISMARK!!!" 😂

[@Sabaton]

Great story!

[@LordAnestis]

I like how you guys started, drinking beer and playing music! Now imagine Sabaton being called, Gauntlet, or Great Helm, Poleyn, Fan Plate, Breastplate, Greaves, Gorget, or Pauldrons. Pauldrons actually sound good.

[@DarthAxolotl]

Gauntlet also kinda works as a name too

[@willshields4480]

Gorget sounds badass

[@harbl99]

"No man, Tassets is totally a cool name for a band."

They could have went with Cod piece...

[@danielseelye6005]

I liked "Falcion" if I did a metal band.

I started listening to heavy metal because of sabaton, i love you guys :)

[@crazycasey2598]

Guys....the way you hang arround...and have fun.....in my days i played in a metal band....but the rest of the guys where to serious.... Tommy...you can make me a toast like that even if it is in the middle of the night....and Joakim.....stop swearing so much...and have a beer or two with me bro.....can't wait for the other two "great interview"...love you guys!

[@dorlonelliott9368]

Sabaton is their own form of Metal. Sabatonic Metal.

[@sohlberg]

As a Swede it has been a joy to follow you guys from quite early, going back to the first gig at Sweden Rock after hearing "Primo Victoria" on a CD from Sweden Rock Magazine. After that trying to see you as often as possible. In front of maybe 40-50 people in Alingsås, in a shed (dansbanan) fearing for the floor to collapse during "Primo Victoria " in Hultsfred at Gates of Metal -05 ( with one of the craziest line-ups ever). Forward a few years to warming up to Iron Maiden at Ullevi, and sharing the first kiss with what now is the Mother of my two wonderful daughters at the gig in Varberg 2014, and after that see you headline at Sweden Rock Festival. Those are just a few of all the gigs I've been to, so it's been quite a journey. So thank you for that and I'll see you in Borås next year .

[@Boadiccea94]

Love you, guys! Your friendship and songs are two things that are special for me. I'm proud to be your fan. Take care. We all need you all ;)

[@katmadison7607]

Just discovered you...you guys are freaking incredible. As an American, I dare you to do a killer song about the American Revolution. That would become like an Anthem over here. Especially in the struggles we are having with the regime we have in power now wanting to erase history..Rock on fellas.

[@Sabaton]

Welcome on board Kat! And don't forget to send us any suggestions for new songs right here: www.sabaton.net/do-you-have-a-good-idea-for-a-song/

Sabaton playing Mario Kart is something I didn't know I needed!

[@warstriker857]

Gonna tell my music loving history teacher about you guys this week

[@manofthethighs2685]

Sabaton has been such a huge help for me from listening while working out to anxiously waiting for a new song or album to drop. Its been a source of fun and entertainment for me for years. When my friends and I go on road trips I'm not allowed to blast Bismarck or any Sabaton song too much because I've already done it so much previously. Thanks for the music and keep up the great work. :)

I love your music it turns using the restroom into an action movie

[@tastefullynerdy1161]

I'm already so stoked to see you guys in Vienna next year. Your music just strikes a perfect cord with my interests - you rock super hard, your lyrics are unbiased and you sing about freaking history, in which I graduated from history. Also, Bismarck and Wolfpack are responsible for me getting interested in naval history. That in turn - because I thought the badges of war ships look cool - led me to heraldry, which is by now my, I guess you could call it, specialised historical field. So yeah, I'm really glad you guys are around and kick a ton of ass, hope to keep you for much longer! Greetings from Austria :)

[@Sabaton]

Greetings from Sweden, thanks for writing!

You guys are really fun to watch, smart as hell in your approach to music! Thanks for these videos and for the work to entertain us. In our household we are all big fans, including my 2 year old that just wants to listen to Sabaton! Now is it ok to ask what are the hair products that Tommy and Chris use? I mean their hairs are awesome!

[@brianeskin]

For part 3, they should tell us where they get their info for their songs

[@SandraNelson063]

I think a lot of fans just write in with their family stories. A lot of European families have a lot of war history. And the guys find out stuff in their own research.

[@Bullski123]

Reading books/searching the Internet/talking to veterans,witnesses,historians and authors/travel to places where events/battles took place.
