I come back and watch this every so often because I really enjoy seeing others experience this music in the same way I did. I cant thank you enough for making this video man. Im writing this and watching you react to "HOME" and it reminded me of how I listened to this song on my way home from basic training and it made me crying thinking about how I finally was heading home the album was ending and so was my training I was on my way back for good. I have so many other stories just like this where this album is the soundtrack to what Ive done. Nothing will ever compare to this album for me and this video matches that same energy I felt. Such a surreal experience this album is and it has carried me through some of the hardest times in my life and some of the best. Such and awesome Album. Such a great video. Thank you Casey.
The official music video for Shoemaker is powerful. Check out info about Eugene Shoemaker in Wikipedia to understand the song. The new official Tribal live compilation video is great for a more driving song.
I have not been impressed with the compression distortion effects on the instrumental sound from Hellfest. Floor always sounds good. I saw this played live in a small venue in Montreal in 2022. Loved it.
CVSE, with all respect; why such a small screen and so much space left. Small screens make visitors run away. Just for your info. Nice reaction by the way.
I was able to experience this song live 3 times, each time just a few meters away from Floor....when she sings the end. This has something of a religious experience to it. Not just through her singing, but also through her gestures and pure stage presence...
Welcome back, but the video of the band needs to be bigger, the volume of the band has to be louder. Also, it's nice to hear your comments on the music and performance but, if you have something to say, pause the video, please don't talk over it. Obviously the fans of the band already know it but if someone new is watching this for the first time they're gonna be annoyed at you taliking all over it. Peace, out!
Yes, great reaction and good choice of Hellfest 2022, although the Deichbrand 2022 Festival nighttime performance is equally as good. My wife and I got to see them perform this live in San Francisco in 2022 and the whole show was amazing. Loved this and thank you. Floor is unbelievable and, by the way, Troy Donockley on backing vocals was also killing it on the electric guitar with an ebow making it cry. Keep the Nightwish coming. Nightwish Army Phoenix right here for you.
Please listen to young Floor and her band After Forever live at Progpower US 2007 singing Dreamflight ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-73-_F9prx4I.htmlsi=NMMqBtxv7_lmR5XH
Love Floor in this? For yourself, watch Shoemaker from Toronto. Small venue. Floor is absolutely gorgeous, happy, playful. Then throws you back in your seat with that close… Even Toumas proclaims WOW at the end.
These history teachers have a huge catalog.The animated videos are not only visually amazing,but they're packed with historical facts.Great reaction and just keep em coming ❤
Whew...okay, checkout Bismarck, Christmas Truce, No Bullets Fly, Soldier of Heaven, Race to the Sea, Far from the Fame (live), Attack of the Dead Men and en livstid i krig just to name a few...its a thing.
Subscribed. I love to listen to reactors, for their ideas about the songs. "This is like a generalization of war." Really good observation and way of expressing the song's intent. They took Lemmy's song about WW1 Pals, friend who joined with the promise they could fight together, and made the song universal. Thanks for your insight! And you can join the countless people who try to comment, to find words to describe this video, and are left fairly speechless.
I did some researching and found that all the names of the soldiers, knights and Spartans in the end were real people. Many of the soldiers were Medal of Honor, Silver Star, Victoria Cross or Croix de Guerre recipients. The soldier pulling himself out of the mud, at first I thought he was a member of "The Smoking Snakes" (Força Expedicionária Brasileira, FEB, nicknamed Cobras Fumantes), but doing some more research with the patch on his shoulder as well as his helmet, that's Sgt Henry Johnson of the 15th New York National Guard Regiment, aka "The Harlem Hellfighters". Medal of Honor recipient and recipient of French Croix de Guerre avec Palme, France's highest award for valor. The Medal of Honor was awarded to him in 2015. Sgt. Henry Johnson is "one of the five bravest American soldiers in the war." Theodore Roosevelt Jr. in his book "Rank and File: True Stories of the Great War" The Asian soldier with the cocked-hat, that's a Nepalese Gurka named Havildar Gurung (per the credits) who earn the Victoria Cross in the Burma campaign off WWII. Sgt Awal Nur, who did a secret mission over the Himalaya. Lt. Audie Murphy, Sgt. Alvin York are both medal of honor recipients from WWI (York) and WWII (Murphy). I also notice a soldier with the Croix Lorraine on what looks like a French flag arm band, meaning he was a member of the 'Forces françaises libres' forces in WWII. Doing some reading I found out that a large number of French colonial troops from territories such as Chad had joined with the 'Forces françaises libres'. I suspect that soldier is Lt Comba, but I can't find anything on him. As I've been working my way through the names listed in the credits and found another one: Private George Stringer, Manchester, Awarded the Victoria Cross at the Battle of Es Sinn in Mesopotamia. Capt. Dobson, 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion, Killed on 9 July 1916 in Flanders.
This is a cover of a Motörhead song that Lemmy (the singer of Motörhead wrote after watching a documenterie) The buss at the start is a reference to the live album no sleep til Hammersmith by Motörhead. The two guys standing in the door opening at 6:06 are Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell, the drummer and the guitarist of Motörhead. The picture at 6:12 is of Lemmy Kilmister who was the singer and bassist of Motörhead, the guy holding it is Eddie Rocha who was the tour manager of Motörhead and the current one for Sabaton.
This is cover, no a tribute to Motorhead, and Lemmy, the surviving members of the band are in the procession. Sabaton made it a tribute to not only Motorhead and the fallen at tje Somme in 1916, but all fallen in war
No it's not, because the person speaking in the song is dead. Lemmy wrote is after he saw a docu about the Somme where Veterans were interviewed as part of the docu.
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.
If Vikings ever come back to America to invade this song will be playing and Eric will cometh of the ship and Hail and Kill. We Europeans loved Manowar we embraced them.
