ROADIE REACTIONS | Sabaton - "The Unkillable Soldier"

Adrian Carton de Wiart: The Most Badass Soldier of All Time and a Real Life Action Hero kzbin.info/www/bejne/r16okKFmppWnqqs According to this history channel Sir Anthony was shot down Five times in fact 😁

[@raikbarczynski6582]

another fact about Adrian Carton de Wiart: in WW 1 nurses had his PERSONAL pyamas in the field hospital. he was sent to the same field hospital over and over again

[@tealepeck8580]

This music video summed up: "Sabaton band members desperately try to kill their historian and he just WON'T. BLOODY. DIE." For real though, this music video is so cheeky and meant to be over the top. And because of that, while the song is good with that galloping beat and guitars, I basically screamed with laughter throughout. I honestly did not expect such a funny, tongue-in-cheek video from them. And I loved Indy in this. They told him to go full blown melodrama and he CHEWED the scenery to utter BITS.

[@PsionNovastar]

Let's be honest, there is no other way to do a tribute to this guy. Sir de Wairt should have died several times over but the man was plot armor made real.

[@DoraFauszt]

Totally agree with your summary, kind of Monty Pythonesque, and I am a sucker for that sh*t 🤣🤣

[@GetDougDimmadomed]

5:40 The "hook" for this song, at least for me, is the chorus that sings "In the age of madness, In a time of sadness". That's constantly stuck in my head.

[@dr_alto_clef]

I love it how they decide to break it at the end and restart it. "At the edge of madness, in a time of sadness An immortal soldier, *edge of madness* At the edge of madness, in a time of sadness An immortal soldier finds his home"

[@thorveim1174]

"he ripped off a finger so the doc wouldn't amputate" Wrong. He did it because the doc DIDNT WANT to amputate. a pure case of "fine, i'll do it myself"

[@tristanvoltaire2058]

Nah, I believe it was to prevent the doctor from amputating his whole hand, so he bit off his own finger to save the rest of the hand which would be amputated anyways.

[@thorveim1174]

@@tristanvoltaire2058 story is that he really cut it himself (or more accurately, tried to rip ot off with his teeth and ended up damaging it so much amputating it was now the only choice) because he could go back to the front faster as an amputee than if he waited to heal in the hospital. Remember that guy is a complete madman that did EVERYTHING in his power to stay on the battlefield as much as possible.

Have you thought about doing a reaction to Tommy's Disneyafied versions of Sabaton songs on his channel? It'd be fun to see you react to those. So far he's done Swedish Pagans, 82nd All The Way and Soldier of Heaven, with more coming every Friday.

[@TankTheTech]

I've watched all of those so far, but if there's new ones coming every Friday, maybe I'll throw one in!

Mine doesn't quite kill me but certainly does not feel good either. What about the rest of y'all? Gotta ask cause now I'm worried, Idk if what I'm feeling is normal or not. Do you guys feel anything at all when you shake it?

[@badbirdkc]

Sabaton songs I want to see turned into movies: No Bullets Fly, The Lost Battalion, and now The Unkillable Soldier.

[@kski113]

There is a movie about The Lost Battalion, and it's called "The Lost Battalion". The movie came out way before the Sabaton song (in 2001), but it's a pretty good movie, I'd recommend it.

[@clashof6d]

The last battle... it is voted BY FAR THE MOST UNDERATED sabaton song by their fans

[@kithergilliam153]

The ghost of the trenches would be awesome

[@Tw4nanas]

not to forget the night witches

[@dr_alto_clef]

Nightwitches

[@ericmats4662]

I find it interesting that the 3 singles released all have a different feel to them. Christmas truce was upplifting and hopefull, soldier of heaven felt serious and sad. And the unkillable soldier felt abit cheeky and fun.

[@patrickschardt7724]

And the really amazing thing is these songs and the overall album are focusing about one thing: war, specifically WWI Hats off to Sabaton for writing songs that stir up vastly different emotions

[@cesaralarcon5228]

When Sir de Wiart finished WW1 he held the title of Acting Brigade commander after having taken part in multiple great battles of WW1, when he was awarded the Victoria cross he dedicated it to the 8th Gloustershire Regiment for the fighting they went through, he then spent time in Poland as part of the British Polish mission to aid Poland in multiple conflicts, he ended up fighting the a red army cavalry unit that attacked the observation train he was on, he accidentally fell off it but managed to run back on and keep fighting, the whole story is so rich and amazing that if it hadn’t been documented I wonder how we would have known about it

[@cxpKSip]

It is too off-the-walls to be fake. No one would think to write a fictional story about someone that was shot and should have died 9 times.

[@jaega4247]

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with that chorus stuck in my head. The rest is pretty much what you'd expect from any other Sabaton song at this point, but that just makes the chorus even more outstanding.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

Don't worry. you are far from being the only one with that chorus stuck in their head.

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

Join the club... 🤘

[@DoraFauszt]

I had an immediate crush on this song

[@asmodean26]

Indy’s acting is hilarious in this one. He is a great addition to the band. The song is very catchy indeed. I loved it as well. In a couple of months there EU tour will start. I can not wait.

[@CallsignTrike]

As someone who's been to war i understand why he enjoyed it. War changes you and sometimes soldies who come back can't really find a place for themselfes and they feel alone. Even i've wanted to go back and fight because i felt like the war was the only place where i belong.

[@zoom5024]

I met indy after a Sabaton show a few months ago when sabaton was playing in my hometown, i seemed to be the only one who recognized him. He was super cool and i took pictures with him and my brother 😊👍

[@earendilthemariner5546]

The album is almost here and i cant wait. For some reason, "Race to the Sea" and "Dreadnought" are calling my name Btw, Tank, please go back to Unleash the Archers and listen to/watch "General of the Dark Army". If its on stream ill miss it though. I work nights and sleep days

[@DGARedRaven]

I was waiting for you to upload your reaction. :) Thank you for doing so!

[@argantyr5154]

Not only are Sabaton normally spot on, with the historical perspective. But as you also mentioned Indy, have his own history channel about the Great War, and since a major part of this Video takes place during WW1, I have no doubt that is 100% correct with the "Frankly I enjoyed that War" note.

[@l.b.7413]

Frankly, I enjoyed this reaction ! 😁 And I love the three songs from their upcoming album equally. I don't know, I fell in love with them by listening to Soldier Of Heaven, then I listened to a lot of things (including Christmas Truce) and when this one came out, I fell in love with it too =) They haven't missed a single one for me. Thank you Tank, and have a nice day !

[@derubor]

Amon Amarth recently released a song called "Put Your Back Into The Oar", hopefully hinting at an upcoming album. It's just a story video, but it is amazing. I predict that, if they play that song live, there will be massive rowing pits.

9:30 There is one other memorable moment involving him after his military career - during a diplomatic posting in China. Apparently he encountered Mao during a dinner - and told him to his face that he despised communism...

[@phillee2814]

He was still military, as a military advisor to China - and it was in a conference where they were trying to unite the Chinese against the Japanese. He interrupted Mao' speech to tell him his ideas were rubbish, in front of the whole conference.

Love how everytime Sabaton makes a music video about a single historical figure, they cast Indy Neidell to portray him.

[@darthcalanil5333]

weirdly enough, I had completely opposite feelings about this song and the last one, Soldier of Heaven. I immediately fell in love with the latter while this one was more of a grower. I actually enjoyed this more after hearing your breakdown of the various parts of the music. made me appreciate it a little more.

[@Swedish_Pagan78]

9 years ago I was a promoter for a small venue in Buffalo, NY and we had Sabaton play there right around when Carolous Rex came out. We had 200 people there. Crazy to think that now they do thousands. They were great people and would love the chance to hang with them again.

[@Swedish_Pagan78]

@@TankTheTech This was before they were big enough for the Town Ballroom. In 2012 they played a dive venue called Broadway Joe's. A few years later they came back to play the Ballroom with Nightwish and completely stole the show.

[@HereticalKitsune]

I fucking love this song. It's fast, it's powerful, it's intense. I'd say this song is one of the most actual Power Metal songs Sabaton has produced to date. Especially the last chorus, the "pick up", it's AWESOME! As for the video? It's utterly stupid, over the top and insane, and I love it. Yes, it might be too much and not good, but I say, sometimes you just need some silliness in your life!

[@JojokimVT]

You know something? I pre ordered the record back when the pre orders were made available xD. So back in October. Also, I too got hooked on the song on the first listen

Pretty unusual video for sabaton with Indy and a very ironical vein! I enjoied it cause sound different and a little bit "easier". Man u are still missing one of their best song and video, Fields of Verdun! Hope u can enjoy it soon !

[@argantyr5154]

I also think that the different sound, also make me think a bit of "old times" perhaps it was also the video that lead me to those thoughts. But I found it refreshing.

[@elzbietajukic905]

I was waiting for this. Have you noticed that Joakim is NOT singing the chorus from the beginning? He comes in in the second part of it. Video is funny, and Indy is taking it to a whole new level. At the end, when Sabaton is doing Delta Force, I couldn't stop laughing. Great video, great song, the rythm gets your blood pumping. Sir Adrian fought in 4 wars: Boer War, WWI, Polish-Bolshevik War, WWII. Do you really know people who don't like Sabaton?😁

[@DoraFauszt]

Hi Tank! I just recently discovered your channel and now I am DEVOURING your content! I love your style of reaction, and also the stage tech stuff, as I am not knowledgeable on these at all! Huge kudos from my side also that you put in facts as text and not always interrupting the video, so we can actually enjoy the music, while getting educated (especially on Sabaton history background). I think you are a super intelligent person, with whom I would love to hang out and enjoy some music, so now you are my virtual buddy, whom I listen to gladly, how he reacts! I listen to some of these bands for decades now (Nightwish, Sabaton), but seeing you react makes me actually re-discover some of their older songs, which is also such an awsome experience, thanks for that! And ofc also discovering some new stuff, thanks to you! As of this song, I had the same feelings as you, I loved it from the first hear, and is since then on endless repeat 🤣 I really am looking forward hearing this live, this song is such a good material for a live show! Cheers to your from Hungary and keep up your style, you are doing an awsome job!

Hey, i have a song recommendation for you. It is Jeanny by Falco. Falco was an austrian musician and was famos in the 80s and 90s. This particular song is one of his best works in my opinion and it was very controversial back then. Some big Radiostations in Germany and Austria stopped playing it because of the topic. It is in german and partly English but there are videos with subtitles. I would like seeing you reacting to this song.

[@Zombot012]

I'm surprised they didn't release "Valley of Death" as a single, as it's one of their best songs in recent years. It's their first one about a Bulgarian military feat, and the story about the Battle of Doiran, which is absolutely amazing.

Plus still pumping out frequent lyric videos for older songs and Tommy doing his own thing with the Disneyton mashups and his how to lessons on his various solos, content blitz from these guys.

Sir de Wiart is basically the epitome of my saying: Bravery is just a controlled form of madness.
