I LOVE THIS ENERGY!! First Time Reaction to Sabaton - "The Last Stand"

[@swissguy8052]

The Sack of Rome, then part of the Papal States, followed the capture of Rome on 6 May 1527 by the mutinous troops of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, during the War of the League of Cognac. Charles V only intended to threaten military action to make Pope Clement VII come to his terms. However, most of the Imperial army (14,000 Germans, including Lutherans, 6,000 Spaniards and some Italians) were largely unpaid. Despite being ordered not to storm the city, they broke into the scarcely defended city and began looting, killing, and holding citizens for ransom without any restraint.[3] Clement VII took refuge in Castel Sant'Angelo after the Swiss Guard were annihilated in a delaying rear guard action; he remained there until a ransom was paid to the pillagers.

I might be wrong but was it not the sacking of the vatican ?

[@viggo9454]

@@antevasterhaninge1007 No the vatican did not exist at this time and the christian seat of power was in rome, The vatican became a thing after these events tho and the swiss guard remain the guardians if the pope to this day

[@andrewludwig9251]

When I was in Rome in 2019, I walked the Passetto di Giorgio to the Castel St Angelo. It was pretty neat to imagine what happened there 500 years ago.

I recommend one of their most underrated hits - The last Battle. About one of the last battles of American troops during World War 2. And one of the most interesting.

[@johnbransby6231]

I am currently reading the book the last battle, a book I am reading because of the song, it is really interesting

[@jpl2799]

i 2nd this! we need more reactions to the last battle!

[@2gelm]

These guys know how to put it all together...EPIC! Stacey, you always bring us extra ingredients to cap off a interesting reaction. Your reaction channel is awesome, just awesome!

[@marinamucic908]

One of my favourite Sabaton songs, equally catchy and powerful. Fun fact: this song was the first song guitarist Chris Rörland co-wrote with Joakim. They co-wrote quite a few songs together later and I really hope it will continue on the next album too, they are an amazing team. Thanks for a great reaction as always

[@Northman-from-the-North]

0:16 the cat wagging its tail 😅 This is based on the last stand of the Swiss Guard in 1527. The Roman emperor, Charles V, couldn’t pay the guards, so they decided to take what they thought was theirs and plunder Rome. At the end, when they entered the Vatican, they were slowed down by 189 Swiss guards who fought all the way to the altar in St. Peters. Forty-two of them managed to escape with Pope Clement the VII, though. The outnumbered Swiss Guard, protectors of the Vatican, stood against an invading horde during the Sack of Rome in 1527, giving their lives so the Pope could escape. Great reaction!

[@StaceyRPGReacts]

Thank you for the explanation! Yes that was yuyu hanging out watching me film as usual 🤣

[@kevinkleinsasser9387]

Give Ex Deo a listen. They sing about the ancient Romans.

[@sawsonex3215]

small tip when listening to official sabaton videos, they often have a tiny description of the historical event the song is about which you can read before listening to understand the context

[@SharbtursGameCorner]

she could also just google it. she is asking people to inform her in the comments because it helps her in the algorithm

[@Shiftry87]

Most of there music videos do but not those that are taken from live shows.

[@micktrinus]

This event (as far as I know) is the reason that the Pope still uses Swiss guards to this day. Basically 189 Swiss Guards (mercenaries) made a last stand near Campo Santo Teutonico (a graveyard) while 42 other guards escorted Pope Clement VII through Passetto di Borgo, which connected the Vatican to Castel Sant'Angelo.

[@PerStenback]

You are correct in that it being the reason the Guard still guards the Pope. It is also the reason why their (Swiss guard) inauguration day are on May 6th, the anniversary day of the sack of Rome

[@swissguy8052]

In the event known as the Stand of the Swiss Guard, the Swiss, alongside the garrison's remaining soldiers, made their last stand in the Teutonic Cemetery within the Vatican. Their captain, Kaspar Röist, was wounded and later sought refuge in his house, where Spanish soldiers killed him in front of his wife.[7] The Swiss fought bitterly, but were hopelessly outnumbered and almost annihilated. Some survivors, accompanied by a band of refugees, fell back to the steps of St. Peter's Basilica. Those who went toward the Basilica were massacred, and only 42 survived. This group of 42, under the command of Hercules Goldli, managed to stave off the Habsburg troops pursuing the Pope's entourage as it made its way across the Passetto di Borgo, a secure elevated passage that connects the Vatican City to Castel Sant'Angelo.[7]

A fun and energetci song, really enjoyed your reaction to it!

[@Northman-from-the-North]

At 2:18 you see the bassplayer Pär having a blueyellow bass, the swedish colors 🇸🇪 But if you watch really carefull youll see 3 small crowns on it, its the national emblem of Sweden and the history of the Three Crowns are ancient. In fact more than ancient. The crowns represent the three crowned Gods of the Uppsala (mentioned in the show Vikings), the seat of a holy place, before the introduction of Christianity in Scandinavia. King Erik of Sweden (died 1160) is sometimes depicted together with the three crowns, and most every swedish king after him until today. Finally, the Stockholm Royal Castle built in the 13th century was named Tre Kronor (Three Crowns), but unfortunatelly it was burned down in 1697 where most of Sweden's national library and royal archives were destroyed making Swedens early history difficult to document. 😢 Yes, we swedes are history nerds 🇸🇪😉 Thanks again for this beautiful reaction ❤

[@russellelledge2651]

I just saw Sabaton live a couple months ago, and yes they were amazing!

[@thedeltonian3841]

If you like history, you might look at Al Stewart -- "Roads to Moscow". He was doing songs about history back in the 1970s.

[@Hallstat72]

I should recommend Shiroyama, last samurai. Somehow it is forgotten, but still good song.

[@johnbransby6231]

I saw them in Phoenix in Oct in the 2nd row when they opened for Judas Priest. They put on a great show, they interact with each other and the audience. They are well worth seeing. At one point Joachim played the guitar so they gave him a pink yellow kitty guitar, he looked at it and said this is not the guitar I packed in Sweden then one of the others said we packed it for you.

The Last Stand of the Swiss Guard was a battle that took place on May 6, 1527, during the Sack of Rome: The battle 189 Swiss Guards formed a square around St. Peter's Basilica to protect Pope Clement VII and allow him to escape through secret tunnels. The guards held the doors until the Pope could make his escape. The outcome All but 42 of the guardsmen died, including their captain, Kaspar Röist. The Pope escaped through the Passetto di Borgo, an 800-meter-long secret passage that connected the Vatican to Castel Sant'Angelo. The significance The Swiss Guard's sacrifice is still remembered today, with new recruits traditionally sworn in on the anniversary of the battle. The Swiss Guard's loyalty and bravery are considered an enduring reminder. The Sack of Rome was an attack on the city by troops of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. The attack was an unprecedented war crime and had a significant impact on the city.

I collect History songs. I can put you onto a lot of them that rarely seem to get any attention. Warren Zevon (you reacted to "Werewolves of London") did one called "Veracruz" which is set in the US invasion of Mexico in 1914. Corb Lund has a good one called "Horse Soldier" Rasputina does one about "1816, The Year Without A Summer."

[@Jean-FrancoisPirenne]

How Swiss mercenaries protected the Pope and became the Swiss Guard of Vatican.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Sabaton wrote their album 'The last stand' in 2016... the concept being battles in which regimens of soldiers were outnumbered and ready to fight to the last man standing. The song 'The last stand' referred to the Sack of Rome in 1527 when a group of Swiss soldiers protecting the Pope were annihilated by the Holy Roman Emperor's troops, who were unpaid and disobeyed orders to attack Rome ... The Pope had to pay the pillagers a ransom to release him and the city.

[@Kr00ked32]

You should check out Nanowar of steel if you haven’t yet you would definitely like them!

Just found your channel yesterday. I am loving it! You are absolutely gorgeous! please try Jethro Tull and Yes

First the important thing, Great reaction, Sabaton sing about war and fighters, and they try to show many sides, like of the German blitzkrieg against Belgium, France... resist and bite and ghost division, or western front stormtroopers and fields of verdun ... they really try to teach.

[@lonelylionsingle7582]

It's about the iconic military unit The Swiss Guards Who still guards the Vatican state & Pope and about their ultimate sacrifice in protection of The Pope during the Sack of Rome in 1527 when 189 Swiss Guards fought in their final stand against 20000 enemy troops so the Pope could escape to safety

Hi Stacey, as I know you are always striving for new horizons on your musical journey, I would like to invite you to listen to "Hi Ren" (42 million views). I promise you've never heard anything like it and it will leave you speechless. It's so much more than just a song. It gives you a glimpse into a soul fighting for her life. Be prepared to experience this battle first hand. I don't have better words to adequately describe it. This work of art is so beautifully performed and yet hard to watch because it's not about someone telling a story about someone else's struggle, it's about someone who really seems to be fighting an enemy within himself as you watch. I've never seen anything so personal and brave and at the same time so artful. You simply have to have to have to watch it.
