TURBULENT RIDE THRU THE ATLANTIC! - SABATON - BISMARCK - REACTION

[@nocturne7371]

Best history teachers in the world - Sabaton. They actually won an award in Sweden in 2022 for being that years "Educator of the people"

[@michaelsteel8059]

Sabaton is a Swedish heavy metal band, founded in 1999. Characteristic of the band are the lyrics, which almost without exception are about historical wars, battles and characters. Since 2016, the band has consisted of Joakim Brodén (singer), Pär Sundström (bass guitar and backing vocals), Chris Rörland (guitarist and backing vocals), Thobbe Englund (guitarist and backing vocals) and Hannes van Dahl (drummer) married with Floor, front lady of Nightwish. On their online channel Sabaton History Channel, the historical background of Sabaton songs is explained in collaboration with historians.

And until this year a certain tommy johansen on guitar and vocals

[@erickvermeulen9734]

You may like the official video of their song Christmas Truce (though maybe a better fit for December) with the voice of Floor Jansen during the end credits

[@marinamucic908]

Welcome to Sabaton, the best way to learn history! I recommend their songs Christmas Truce (official music video-watch to the very end), En Livstid I Krig (live in Gothenburg- turn cc on) and 1916 (Motorhead cover) for start. They also have their own history channel - Sabaton History, where a historian explains the events mentioned in their songs. As someone said, you should also check out their former guitarist Tommy Johansson (left the band in January to take care of his own band Majestica and his solo career, no bad blood), his cover of Steelheart's She's Gone is a great start. Thanks for a great reaction

[@ytcag2007]

Greetings. Sabaton is quite literally a history class. 😊❤️🤘🤘 And yes, drummer Hannes Van Dahl is currently married to Floor Jansen and have 2 beautiful girls together, Freja, and Lucy which is only a few months old. And yes, Floor was still pregnant when their world tour came to an end. Floor collapsed backstage after the last show from exhaustion. Çan you believe she was actually upset that she had to cancel her first 2 solo shows that came soon after? Well, performing for her fans IS her passion after all. ❤️

[@TJandTheGringa]

Thats an awesome tale to hear about Floor .. Thnx!!

[@RichFrye]

@@TJandTheGringa go to Floor's page... lots of videos of their home life ... as opposite to their professional life as it gets, for example Hannes a metal drummer making his own blueberry maple syrup in the kitchen .... or Floor hammering in fence posts for their new horse corral.....

[@Thorgrim247]

Sabaton is an epic power metal band. However, they can take you on a very emotional journey as they explore and recall tales of histories hero's and heroine's. Never forget those you died with honor in service of their countries. This one may lead you to discover the amazing talent of Tommy Johansson who just recently left sabaton to pursue a solo career. He was in this video with Sabaton. Here are a couple of fun covers he released from his home studio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKCqe2qjrbOkZq8 - YOU RAISE ME UP (1 OCTAVE CHALLANGE) - TOMMY JOHANSSON kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZzWmX5ojbaMprs - HIGHWAY TO HELL (AC/DC) - Tommy J

[@damienmaynard8892]

Hannes and Floor are married. 2 daughters - Freya and Lucy. "Primo Victoria" the name of the boat is also the name of another Sabaton song! Sabaton animated clips are great too! "Red Baron", "Night Witches", "No Bullets Fly"...... The guys of Sabaton froze on the boat! Joakim. the singer, was probably bashing his leg to make sure it was still there! I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner! Crew of KMS Bismarck was over 2000 - only 114 survived.

[@normenneulich1952]

The drummer from Sabaton (Hannes van Dahl) is married to Floor Jansen from Nightwish.

[@wildylupous]

This is real story about events from 1941.

[@AndyMagnusson70]

Yeah they are still married. Hahahaha. Almost my neighbours. I live abot 30 minutes away from them. "The town next door" Hahahahaha

[@craigbolton5093]

Great- Now watch it again and follow the compass.

[@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. 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. To hell and back, they tell 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.

[@AndyMagnusson70]

You forgot Swedish Pagans. Live at Wacken 2019 with Tina Guo smashing her cello

[@pontiacfan76]

This was a massive state of the art battle ship for its time. Taken out by Swordfish torpedo Bi-Planes. The ships guns had issues tracking the slow planes. This video was done with World of Warships game studios.

[@TJandTheGringa]

They did an amazing job on the video!

[@kittyhawk9707]

Correct to a degree .. The Anti aircraft guns on the Bismarck couldn't actually depress far enough down to shoot effectively at the low flying Swordfish ... the had to resort to opening up with their main guns in an effort to swat the Swordfish out of the sky with the water splash the big rounds caused

[@erikpalmer1201]

If you like Floor, you should check out Christmas truce, where Floor sings in the end credits. Floor and Hannes are married and they have two children together, born in 2017 and 2023. They live in Ulricehamn, Sweden.

[@vlinder6329]

The energy of the boys of SABATON, brings the HISTORY to life .... INCREDIBLE! The Video and the performance and music are AMAZING💪🏼💪🏼 Sabaton are my History - Books 📚 👉🏼 The CAPTAIN of this SHIP⚓ is the SON of a Bismarck SURVIVOR and portrays his FATHER 🤎 Thank you so much, from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@nickgillingham5575]

Sabaton does historical events in all conflicts (their videos dont take sides in the historical conflict entirely neutral politically in regards to conflicts) YES Hannes Van Dahl IS married to Floor Jansen. I recommend two videos by Sabaton. The first is the music video for Tank Commanders guest starting Tina Guo. The Second is Christmas Truce (make sure you watch the end credits of this one there is an surprise vocialist your familiar with ALSO so you dont anger either Nightwish nor Sabaton Armies) Hiya from London Ontario Canada GREAT REACTION!!

[@mirandabekkernens8265]

Steel commanders you meen not tank.😅

[@nickgillingham5575]

@@mirandabekkernens8265 correct i was watching ww2 tv series when i commented lmao

[@dmj4966]

Sabaton always had cinema level videos, perhaps the best power metal band ive heard. No Bullets Fly, Night Witches, Christmas Truce, 1916 are must see videos...if yur loving the NW to Sabaton journey, Epica (maybe start with Consign to Oblivion in Paris then Sancta Terra), Ayreon (starting with The Day the World Breaks Down video) Delain (The Gathering feat. Marco from NW a good intro), Kamelot will also make u happy

[@glenngunnis6642]

1916 is another excellent Sabaton video.🤘🎸

[@Spectre67Productions]

As a sailor, the ship going down will always have pause for me. They gave their lives for their country.

did i hear M.A.S.K.? did you just bring back all of my childhood memories? greetings from Germany! been hyped by this band for over 20 years now. welcome to the epic side of life.

YES!..M.A.S.K! .. We are both huge fans..I have the Thunderhawk with Matt Tracker Tattooed on my Arm :)

I love sabaton and i listen to them at least twice a week....while working out ... because they make me feel so badass

[@hajovelt3083]

O-o-o - completely trapped into the European Metal music scene! Check out the whole Sabaton world including their 'Sabaton History Channel'. And when you have done all the Nightwish and Sabaton stuff, went over to 'Epica' from the Netherlands. You will have to react untilthe restof your life...😂

[@TJandTheGringa]

We gotta buckle up! lol

[@mcoenen8492]

And Ayreon of course 🥰

[@johankarlsson3113]

​@@TJandTheGringa Hello. Lovley reaction as always 😊👍 I got an idea of​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ what you should do if you feel like it! And that is to react to all Sabaton's songs in all the albums they have! What I mean is to go all in with Sabaton, Even if it will take time as you react to other music too!😊 But it makes absolutely nothing if it will take time if you decide to do this journey! I am sure you would have loved it and not regretted it! 😉 I want to recommend songs to you!😎 You can skip the ones you have already reacted to if you want! The valley of death Dreadnought Soldier of heaven Stormtroopers Steel commanders Kingdom come Defense of Moscow Fields of verdun A ghost in the trenches Great war official video Devil dogs 82nd all the way Seven pillars of wisdom All guns blazing The last battle Shiroyama 7734 Man of war Hearts of iron Killing ground The Carolean's Prayer Long live the king Metal ripper White death Coat of arms The final solution The price of a mile Cliffs of Gallipoli Metal Crüe Nightchild Back in control In the name of god Metal machine Purple heart Wolf pack Remember that it's perfectly okay to show emotions and cry when listening to music in reaction videos, etc. I love your channel ❤️ Sabaton has been my favorite band since they were formed 1999 in Falun here in Sweden!🇸🇪 Warm and kind greetings from a big Sabaton fan in northern Sweden (Västerbotten) 😎🇸🇪🇸🇪😎

[@johankarlsson3113]

​@@TJandTheGringa The songs I suggested are from different albums with Sabaton! You don't have to react to the songs you've already reacted to, unless you want to of course! You decide of course! It should be fairly easy to find each album with accompanying songs on either KZbin or Spotify! KZbin should have all the videos for all Sabaton's songs! Animated, official videos etc! If you need help/tips, There are many of us in the comment field who can help you if you need help during this journey 😊 It will be very interesting to see and hear what you think of all their songs! If you do this journey!😊 And then when all the albums are finished, Please tell us which is your favorite album!😊🙏 Sabaton is also working on a new album! 😊 Warm and friendly greetings from Johan 😎🇸🇪🇸🇪😎

[@art3mis290]

OOPS, late to this party I see. So someone told ya'll about the Nightwish/Sabaton connection Good, now another rabbit hole has opened up and I'm with ya here to! History was never explained any better, great music with a lesson, many google for more facts after a listen (me). Thank you folks, I look forward to your next reaction, much love and respect!

[@Qirronis]

You’re not wrong… Sabaton is very effective workout-music. But also, amusingly… a Sabaton playlist is like the best thing to have when you’re doing housecleaning. 😅 Shit gets done. 😁

[@matzek.3220]

Great reaction guys and you did well waiting for the video's end. With Sabaton you should always do that, because they typically have some extra scene or message or something else to discover at the end. Here's a little funny tidbit of information: Floor's sister's kid has a shirt that says "My uncle has a tank." Once you get to see a live video of Sabaton (En livstid i krieg live at Gothenburg may be) you will understand why.

[@najroe]

yeah, that one is a great one, slightly sad message but... it us valid for most soldiers through the times. Oh, just don't forget to put subtitles on, it is sung in Swedish

[@AndyMagnusson70]

You have to react to Sabaton - Christmas truce. The official music video. NOT the animated one. True story about the truce in 1914. And listen to the end even through the credits. And captions on. Think you will recognize the angel voice singing. Go go go

[@detroitpolak9904]

When the Bismarck emerges from the fog….THAT was badass.

[@petritormanen8318]

Look the video again and follow the kompass from start 🇫🇮🇸🇪sabaton

More Sabaton My number 1 rekomendation Sabaton is Sabaton - En livstid i Krig. Live 2020 Gohtenburg Sabaton - Last stand Sabaton - Fields of Verdun Sabaton - Sparta Sabaton- Carolus Rex Sabaton - The Lion From The North

[@Spectre67Productions]

I always feel for those sailors. As a Navy person, Sinking a ship is never personal even though fellow sailors are on it. Hence the degree we give to rescuing sailors in the water.

[@SNAFNEJAB]

If you'll wanna feel more like a Viking check out Sabaton - Swedish pagans 🤘

[@theglanconer6463]

If you have the time listen to Sabaton's ' the Night Witches' (young Russian girls fighting the nazis in Wo2 with archaic planes deemed already too old in 1914) , Uprising (Polish families battling the nazis in Warsaw) and No Bullets Fly (about a German pilot who saved an American bomber crew). All heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. The worst and the best of humanity has to offer. Keep up the grand work !

[@lumpy8223]

Gotta check out No Bullets Fly by them. Great song and story!

[@Jean-FrancoisPirenne]

The skipper in the video is actually the son of one of the few survivors from the Bismarck sinking.

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Christmas truce. Floor husband and father to there two children Hannes plays a good part in this song in the trenches. Sabaton tells history and has there own history channel.

[@thsmuller]

The wreck of Bismarck was discovered on 8 June 1989 by Robert Ballard, the oceanographer responsible for finding RMS Titanic. Bismarck was found to be resting on her keel at a dept of approximately 4,791 m (15,719 ft), about 650 km (400 mi) west of Brest. 48°10′N 16°12′W

[@robertbidzinski5988]

Great reaction 🍻 Sabaton is fuc...g amazing band . They sing mostly about war history , and the singer Joakim is simply a stage animal 🦧🐒🐵🤣

[@leekebot1802]

Dunno why this reminded me of em, but, hey. Gloryhammer. Basically Thor and his crew decide to put together a power metal band, to sing about their escapades. Underrated band, and that's all I'm saying. They are better explained via experience.

[@razvant63]

sabaton has an ongoing cooperation with belarussian gaming creator and publisher WARGAMING, wich produced this video, they did a great job

[@ericpeterson7512]

Ok you got my sub with this one lol. Y'all are fun. Jinjer, Hanabie, Sabaton--this is my shit! I saw Sabaton open for Judas Priest a couple months ago as a new Sabaton fan. I was not disappointed. Their sound is so masculine and manly, it's great. Their backing vocals are pretty incredible. I'll be seeing Jinjer in October for the fourth time in under two years with Hanabie opening. That's gonna be a sick sick show. It's a great time to be a metal fan! I have two recommendations. (Well, three--one is MORE JINJER!) My favorite Sabaton song is Swedish Pagans. They do a great live version at Wacken that's a must see. My other new favorite band is IKINÄ from Finland (our newest NATO ally, and they're badass). Check out the video for Rituaali. They have two legit badass female singer/screamers who do both in harmony! Their three albums are loaded with one excellent song after another. I know it won't bother you that they never sing in English, cuz Hanabie! Keep it coming, y'all are on a roll!

[@TJandTheGringa]

Thanks so much Eric means a lot that you guys enjoy this content! Just adds fuel to the fire so we can keep doing it. Really appreciate you!

[@dragonstarv8154]

The cool thing is the Swordfish biplanes you see were obsolete in WW2. The Bismarck couldn’t shoot down a single plane because the gunners were expecting fast planes while the Swordfish were slow lumbering planes.

[@drigerdranzer7514]

First battle scene is Bismarck damaging the Prince of Wales followed by the Swordfish biplane launching the torpedo that damage Bismarck's rudder. Second battle scene is Bismarck and either Rodney or Sheffield exchanging fire while Dorsetshire launch torpedoes. King George V, the flagship after the destroyed Hood was heavily involved as well but is not really in the video. Too bad because he was magnificent with his primary 4 gun tower topped by a 2 gun secondary tower.

[@elvwood]

Heh, how many rabbitholes are you discovering? Others have filled you in on who Sabaton are and what they do, so I'll just add my strongest recommendations for _Christmas_ _Truce_ and _1916_ (official music videos), plus _No_ _Bullets_ _Fly_ (animated *story* video). The wording is important, sometimes they have multiple videos for the same song. All three make me cry, so bring a tissue in case...

[@anderswiik7432]

You're in for some amazing historical war stories,some of them may require tissues tho Lol.Great reaction guys,please keep em coming,their library is huge.

[@whirledpeaz5758]

I believe Sabaton is best described as Valor Metal. I must recommend the 1960 movie Sink the Bismarck. I believe it is free here on YT. It was an inspiration for my enlistment in the US Navy in 1984.
