This song was written by Gary Moore about the Korean Airlines flight 007 which was shot down by Soviet Union on 9/1/1983 after allegedly entering their air space, all 269 passengers have died. Tommy released this cover on 40th anniversary of that event ( he says it's a coincidence, it wasn't planned that way) and the guitar in the video is the guitar previously owned by Gary Moore himself. Tommy managed to buy a guitar that used to belong to his greatest musical idol, which he never considered possible. Chris Davidsson is ( besides Wizdoom) a bassist in Tommy's band Majestica and they have been singing together for over 10 years, they voices really complement each other
Before Christmas you need to listen to the concept album of Majestica, based on A Christmas Carol by Dickens. Tommy has taken the foundation of the Dickens lyrics and put them to music out of old carols that he has rearranged and metalized. Tommy singing the part of Ebenezer Scrooge and Chris as the Ghost of Marley. Most of the songs have their own musical videos and much of the art in there comes from Tommy. There are a few with only audio but the whole extended album is a must listen.
It’s been 30C+🔥 here in 🇨🇦 & I had ‘A Christmas Carol’ blasting all week🤣 The only Christmas album I can/will listen to year round. It’s an absolute masterpiece ❤️
Tommy and Chris are musical brothers by different mothers.

Yes it's Chris from Wizdoom. Great cover by them both to one of my favourite Gary Moore songs from his metal era. And the fact that he plays this on one of Gary's guitars makes it even more epic.
This was a gift in so many ways .. those two seem to have so much fun and lift each other to new heights when they play togheter .. Tommy and his dragon brother 😀 thank you wolf it’s fun to be along for the ride 🌹
That was brilliant! Chris is in Tommy’s band Majestica and they are both great vocalists and guitar- and bassplayers. So nice to see Tommy with the new guitar which is one of Gary Moore’s guitars which he bought in Australia some time ago! Gary Moore who made Tommy start playing guitar at nine when he saw a video with Gary playing🎼🎸
I can't tell you the love I have for Gary Moore as a Guitarist.. Man I almost forgot I actually got to see Gary Moore about 20 years ago I was so excited in a state of euphoria the poor man beside me had his hand crushed by me cos I needed to know it was real not dreaming 😂😂 he got his hand back at the end 😉.. Really enjoyed this thank you ❤
That was wonderful. What a combination Tommy and Chris are! I would love to hear more of them singing together. I wonder if they ever do more of this kind of thing in Tommy's band Majestica?
Yes! Gary Moore was Tommy's childhood hero and inspiration for learning guitar! Here, he is playing his newly aquired, actual Gary Moore-owned and played, guitar! I know it says Davidson, but it's just Chris David...bassist for Majestica and frontman of his side project, WizDoom! They are both world-class musicians! This is just a small taste...
Joakim has also said that Tommy is a better singer than him, but that Joakim himself is the best singer for Sabaton. I mean, just compare the Sabaton version of Christmas truce, where Joakim displays the anger and frustration over the war, whilst Tommy's solo version is sad and lamenting. They evoke different feelings.
