WATERLOO (Abba) - Metal cover by Tommy Johansson

[@pinolobu]

Top Swedish metal meets top Swedish pop. Result: pure magic.

[@Goldfire-tt3dv]

A Swede covering a Swedish band. So musical incenst, basically.

[@michaelallen1154]

[@peterogestad6184]

Jag blir så jäkla lycklig. Det luktar ABBA och Nation. Två fantastiska svenska band. :) sen blir man lycklig som bodensare också. :)

[@sandrinhadiniz8151]

FALO TUDO! ♥️🌹

[@peterheider6557]

I don't even know what to say. That was such a great cover, it's just world class. You hear ABBA, but at the same time you hear you and your style, and it fits together so beautiful. ABBA will definitely be proud of you when they hear this version.

[@marinamucic908]

I absolutely agree Peter

[@corbywestbrook1348]

Agree 100 % 🎉

[@ReinXeed]

Thank you!! ☺️🙏

[@luizalicaramos1247]

We are the ones who should thank you Tommy, for your willingness to do your best and use all the talent God gave you to do the best for everyone 👍👏💫🌠​@@ReinXeed

[@stephaniebehrens7317]

I have so much respect for your talent. And most importantly the joy you express in every aspect you put into your projects. I thank God for giving us the opportunity to share in the talent He imbued in you. ❤

[@luizalicaramos1247]

Tommy, I admire you so much as the artist you are, thank you so much for making our Fridays shine in this dark 🌍 world, and I hope you grow more and more.💥💯

[@DriftlessWarrior]

Yes, the world desperately needs people like Tommy. I am grateful every time he uses the gifts God gave him to bring us so much joy. ❤

[@sandrinhadiniz8151]

​CONCORDO PLENAMENTE! ♥️🌹

[@alfonsoagren414]

Almost saying: who needs holographic ABBA now?😊 I bet ABBA, Michael B Tretow, Stickan Andersson and Janne Schaffer and many more would love this! Cheers Tommy! Stay Metal!🤘😎🤘

[@zenzor3853]

Благодаря Tommy Johansson вижу что Швеция продолжает оставаться одной из самых музыкальных наций. Исполнено на высшем уровне, браво!

[@BradleyKenyon-yz3js]

This is why ABBA is timeless.

[@pernillaeriksson8594]

This song is Tommys gift for International Womens Day! 🎸

[@Лешик43]

Это Швеция, вы все музыкальные с пелёнок. У вас музыка преподаётся на уровне математики. Я не удивлён что у него отлично получилось, самобытно, качественно и с энергией которую закладывали abba. С уважением из России

[@ЮрийЖуравлёв-в5е]

истинные Арийцы!

[@Lyrikkanalen]

Of course Tommy J carried the day like the duke of Wellington at this Waterloo. Marvelous💫🤘

[@ericmathiasson8572]

The fact you even added those original answering choirs “oh yeah!” that was cut from the original song is just next level cover ART. Grymt mannen! 🤘🏻

[@Taisa-Alex]

You are breathtaking, Tommy ❤ Твоя игра на гитаре - это отдельный вид искусства

[@testsubject6676]

Must admit, woke up groggy and grumpy this morning. This video came up on my youtube homepage. I clicked, I watched, and my smile is back. Thank you much for that.

[@rawsnake]

Agreed, how can one not smile hearing this, another amazing one Tommy, cheers and have a great "caturday" everyone! 🍻 Edit: This makes me remember Carlton from Fresh prince in Bel-air doing his dance, so fitting to this song too haha kzbin.info/www/bejne/sISUlH-Fft2mh5osi=WzFWB6pDzoRw8YSE

[@emmpedno2161]

Doesn’t take you much to make you happy. Want our fokking Canadian snow today? Didn’t think so

[@tino6176]

The only way I, as a Finn, could ever root for Sweden in the Eurovision would be if Tommy was representing them.

[@ЮлияЧ-й1ы]

Томии, спасибо, что переписываете весь мир хорошей музыки на наш любимый металлический лад!

[@bronislawzbylut308]

Poczulem sie mlodo jak w latach 70-ych.Brawo super

[@satchfanuk]

When you thought ABBA couldn't get any cooler, Tommy launches Waterloo to another dimension. Seriously, could anyone else turn this into a rock epic with amazing guitar work, awesome vocals and still keep the singalong factor. Tommy, you're the best.

[@marisolesteban7937]

perfect! the metal rythm, that wonderful voice, and the mastery in playing all the instruments... pure joy ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ewawj571]

I'm 💯 sure this cover will be epic👍🎸🤘🤩

[@SandiFerrante]

Tommy is pure magic as always 🥰🥰💙💙

[@Ruggugglan-q2p]

Hej Tommy! Kul att du framförde din version av Waterloo! Tack för alla fantastiska covers som du förgyller våra fredagar med! Din vackra röst i kombination med ditt skickliga gitarr-, piano- och trumspel får dina tolkningar av diverse låtar att oftast bli ännu bättre än vad originalen var från början! Att du därtill tycks vara en sjyst och humoristisk person som utstrålar en sprudlande kärlek till musiken gör att du förmår sprida denna livsglädje till alla oss lyssnare…varje fredag! Det behövs verkligen i dessa oroliga tider! Tack för att du finns!

[@HopelessOptimism4ever]

ABBA must be in glory hall of rock and roll !!!!

[@laurenk1766]

Tommy, I get such joy from your videos, bc of the joy and passion YOU show. It’s obvious this is what you live for, and I’m so glad you share it with your fans! ❤

[@soniathehedgehog5611]

I just love Tommy J Fridays!❤

[@MartinKumbera]

Milý,zlatý Tommy to bylo super!!! Tvoje podání písně se kterou ABBA vyhrála 6.4 1974 Eurovizi bylo naprosto excelentní a energické. Tvůj perfektní a čistý hlas a moje od dětství zbožňovaná ABBA byl skutečně zážitek . Děkuji ti z celého srdce a posílám pozdrav z Prahy tobě a všem co tě poslouchají a mají rádi 🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿👍👏

[@angelo1962]

What a nice comment to read thank you

[@MartinKumbera]

​@@angelo1962Děkuji z celého srdce,za vaše ocenění mého komentáře .

[@jregns]

The riffs, the short solo, the harmonies and the groove!!! I was defeated, you won the (cover) war! 🤘🏻🪖🤘🏻

[@peterbrinker173]

The chord change in "history book" compared to the original is very appealing - a change from C minor to A flat major, if I heard it correctly. This is the kind of thing that someone who knows his craft does.

[@zapfanzapfan]

I expect you at Eurovision in Malmö celebrating ABBA! 🙂

[@stuart1191]

That would be worth a watch!

[@lisaengstrom1186]

I hope not. That shitty zionist-contest shall be boycott Stay away from that crap Tommy

[@sandrinhadiniz8151]

SAUDAÇÕES DO BRASIL! 🇧🇷 ♥️🌹

[@markmaynard6218]

Tommy. I'm from the older generation, I'm 56. And I have to say I love your new fresh outtakes on these classics. I first came across your video of Eva Maria, and loved it.

[@helensmith6670]

Exactly the same. I got to Tommy channel from his Ave Maria and can't stop listening. It's second day and Tommy is on my laptop. And I am 66:) OMG! What a voice and charisma!

[@pamknepfle6064]

I'm 74 and I think he's wonderful! I just love his voice and all his music 😍

[@cuzinred3372]

Great cover, gotta admit his cover of Money Money on the Swedish hits goes Metal album is his best cover of ABBA i've ever heard, how I originally found Tommy!

[@Tattoolady1972]

Whenever I hear this song, I think of the anniversary of my grandmother's death. When the call came in the morning that she had died, Waterloo was playing on the radio. It was like our own personal Waterloo. But that was more than 40 years ago and I've become a big girl in the meantime ☺️....but I still like this song. Tommy, thanks for this great cover - it makes me very happy. By the way: at the last Sabaton album listing you seemed very tired to me. Take care of yourself and don't work so much. Your fans want a healthy and happy Tommy. ❤❤❤

[@DaffyDill-zg8no]

That was pre-recorded? I think Tommy is looking pretty gorgeous right now❤❤😊

[@Tattoolady1972]

@@DaffyDill-zg8no I don't know whether it was recorded earlier or was really live. It just made me think how tired he looked. And with the right lighting, you can also conceal a lot. In any case, Tommy should take good care of himself.

[@DaffyDill-zg8no]

​@@Tattoolady1972 I was also a little concerned a few months ago when he seemed to have so many commitments but since leaving Sabaton I think he does have a less frantic life and he looks good. Lighting does have ways of masking any issues but the eyes always tell the truth.

[@jimlunde6766]

Love Abba, always have and always will, but love your version of their songs better. Love all the riff movement, and the drag triplets at 2:34 were absolutely sick! VERY WELL DONE!

[@anita1499]

Tack Tommy❣️ Musikaliskt, svängigt och en röst från yttre världsrymden. 👍😊❤️

[@mariaiannuccillo4699]

This Great Song really deserves the upgrade of the "Tommytouch"👍 Sensational already 50 years ago and going metal it's Dynamite🤟 🤟

[@birgittaweckstrom5840]

Amazing❣️❣️❣️And what could go wrong when our Swedish metal treasure meets our Swedish pop wonder❣️🎸🎤🎶🔥 Thanks for this joyful version❣️🤗

[@YvonneMarsters]

That was insane OMG Sweden is on fire What would Abba say Thank u for that amazing and powerful rendition of our song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@Theodax1]

WOW! What a great cover to wake up to on a FriYAY!!!! It's almost become our weekly Friday morning musical party to kick the weekend off early! Who else is LOVING these 'Tommyfied' and 'Johanssonized' covers as much as I am. I really enjoy watching Tommy 'play with himself' and bring some different characterization to showing himself playing each different instrument. His natural talent and finely honed metal and overall musical sensibilities just make each new cover such a joy to listen to over and over again! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go replay this one about another 50 times or more.....

[@DriftlessWarrior]

"FriYAY!" Perfect description! Great comment all around! (Yeah, I think of "play with himself" too ROFL)

[@GH-lf5yl]

Was für ein Wahnsinn. Super Cover. You make me happy

[@urbannaslund6009]

Here is a challenge for you Tommy. Gather Majestica, write a song and enter it into the swedish Eurovision song contest qualifier for next year ;)

[@Kanbei11]

That's not fair, Sweden have won enough 😂

[@QuintEssential-sz2wn]

This is my favourite thing I've seen Tommy do! It is just ridiculously energetic and catchy, a perfect arrangement/re-imagination of the ABBA classic. I'm convinced that if Tommy could get this in wide release it would be a hit. Would love to see it on the charts.

[@evasurovcekova7397]

Absolutely super: all from Sweden - swedish singer, swedish musician, swedish feeling, swedish song style and energy, swedish performance. Congratulation!!!The best cover version. Thank you very much.....👍

[@metalvisionsongcontest7055]

I think you forgot to add “Swedish over-production”… 😁 But that’s about the only criticism I have.

[@evasurovcekova7397]

I CANT WAIT!! I love this song! Let the countdown begin!!

Tommy Johansson operates on a level all his own. I rate this song AAAA - Absolutely Amazing As Always. Ed

[@stevie65able]

I often think Sabaton is like the ABBA of heavy metal in terms of catchy music and great lyrics. And here we have Tommy doing Waterloo!

Anyone else keeps listening to this version a few times in a row? I literally can't stop myself! Not only it's a flawless cover, but it adds so much to the original song! Tommy, keep sharing your passion for music and I hope to see you perform live one day :)

[@onlythetruth2063]

ABBA my favorite ❤️ you nailed it, now I’m wide awake here in New York at 7:00AM thanks for the great wake up call

[@neorich59]

Blimey. This absolute classic is 50 years old, this year. And _this_ is a fitting tribute. Usually, I would beg people to _never_ cover ABBA songs, but this is a rare exception. Stunningly competent and actually "adds" something to the original. Not an easy thing to achieve. Amazing! 🎹🎤

[@AlexanderJBarrett]

Just a perfect, fun, energetic cover. I'm turning into a massive Tommy J fan-boy.

[@g.b.255]

Tommy, thank you for your duet with Erik! Double joy today. 😍 People watch Erik Grönwall's channel! Carolux Rex is also a great rock cover.

[@elizabethofstainlesshearts]

It's so good! How on earth did you make such an already happy song even more happy!? 😃 I'm always so impressed at how expressive you are! Every part of this - from your ever-incredible vocals, to the pointing, the leaning with the bass, lifting up the keytar toward the end - every gesture and expression - even down to the Garfield guitar strap and smiling dragon shirt - everything leads to this being so genuinely awesome, pure-hearted and fun! 😄 I often thank you for bringing so much joy into our lives every week, and this week's video somehow does that even more than usual, so thank you again and again for that! 😃
