Joakim Brodén | SABATON Answering The Most Asked Questions On The Internet 

"Is Sabaton Satanic?" "Nope, also Powerwolf."

@@Canalnameyouhappy Powerwolf aint satanic mate

@@RagingAggron Sure they are. Only at night-a though.

like #70

@@RagingAggron haven’t listened to Saturday Satan yet?

That's probably *why* they can't afford a Ferrari

Priorities man🤘🏻 I feel like one could have much more fun with a tank lol I definitely would!

Armored Metal > Some shit Car. Peace out yow

But two tanks are better than any ferrary.

Tanks are actually cheaper than a Ferrari, seriously avg tank cost (civilian able) 200k, average Ferrari cost, your soul

You mean he's actually a raccoon? Interesting theory

They are. He puts a mask on when he wants to look like hes not wearing sunglasses

XD

@@deniselisboa1 True

Well, technically a tank is one tank... So having two is having some tanks which is not a tank, so he answers no to "does he have a tank?" because he has more than a tank, or one tank as I stated earlier and more than a tank is not a tank. In short, he said no because he can.

Why not have 3

@@garrettj.rodriguezslowpoke5094 That will still result in saying no to the question of, "Does sabaton have a tank?" due to the logic in my previous comment.

that is the best answer he could have given!

Only way to role

historically speaking, sabaton's repertoire is exactly what bards made songs about

@@alecchristiaen4856 the lost art

We need more historical music, such a fun way to be introduced to topics you dont know about and learn about them

Tyler Henderson yes. That is a very certain niche that sabaton has masterfully filled

They are literally just modern day bards and poets at this point.

I was thinking Metal Machine XD

YES!

Oh he LOVES swedish pagans xD.

Everyone loves Swedish Pagans

@@Paul20661 That was my thought too. XD

i bet its a lie cuz some producers always use a lil bit autotune :D maybe he even doesnt know about it

@@tehalexy I think people have trouble realizing just what kind of vocal range metal singers have.

Makozer considering they have sung every song they have live, why would they? You already know how it sounds, they would be hard pressed to slip that through

What would the point of the auto tune be? He sings incredibly distorted and auto tune would totally ruin the sound of the distortion.

@@tehalexy go watch their lives and u ll know it s not a lie

Yeah CIA, we know that you know everything about everyone. Do you happen to know if they own a third tank?

@@vitus4514 No they don't and that's totally not a lie because the C.I.A. is the most legitimate american agency there is.

@@a.a.3291 yes of course please dont hurt me

They're props. Not the same

@@DivinePearl Maybe, maybe not... People can own tanks in U.S. but it's probably regulated -- assuming the tank is in the U.S. Otherwise I have no idea.

@@timbe74 that's the joke bro...

​@@Hun7er_ Well, patriotism is kind of love, and hostile relations trowards your enemy is a kind of relations, so...

I would not be so sure, they took part in concert in occupied crimea.

@@OrkosUA So...? I don't see any problem. For example many people trevel to North Korea and it doesn't mean they do it for political reasons... Political would be not concerting in Crimea, just because it is russian now... Music is music, Rolling Stones for example gave concert in uccupied by soviet union Poland, in eastern, block... And that didn't made them communists.

@@murphyslaw_1776 Is he going to wear a wig?

He needs to keep it till the very last hair and make a song about it called "The last stand of the baldtic isle!"

Saw Sabaton last night in Oslo. Man, the moon is shining bright on his head. He looks like he is in the same boat as me, we are both lucky with beard-growth and heads that look good bald.

Dana White wouldn't have shit on him at that point

Joakim has fun at his work and is a patient person. Despite what he says he has quite a good sense of humor

@@bastik.3011 - I met and hung out with him and a few fans for about 20 minutes after a show, he is EXTREMELY nice guy.

I just remembered a video of this guy in America’s got talent that one of the judges says he sucks and he says that’s why I don’t use auto tune unlike you

@@mertyuip06 Actually, it was SHE sucks (not he sucks), and it wasn't on "America's Got Talent," it was on "The X Factor." A shot directed towards Demi Lovato. And it's likely a white lie, they likely use Melodyne in the studio rather than Auto-Tune, and their live shows are a combination of lip-syncing and backing tracks.

Hello there.

At least they don't sing about sand. Just stay away from Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Rewasder i dont like sand its course ruff and irritating

Rewasder and it gets to everywhere

So, bands as rage against the machine are bad??? Just because they offer their point of view?

lur ezpe no he’s saying that most celebrities and artists should not be giving political speeches and opinions on stuff they have no idea what they’re talking about

lur ezpe it becomes bad when a band trashes one side of a political spectrum, of which probably half of their audience is attached to. Probably not the wisest thing to do as a musician

@@InformalPiano3InformalPiano3 if they dont know of course they dont

Pretty sure he just meant people who expertise in that area, not politicians precisly. But yea you are correct

Rather than politicians, it's moreso politologues he's refering to.

To be fair, that's not really saying much....

Not exactly an impressive feat

They may have their own political views and keep them private. He's smart enough to know that in this divisive time, they'd lose more fans than they'd gain, by aligning with any political ideology.

Joakim just confirmed they sing about love and relationships wdym

My dumbass thought you were refering to Homer Simpson

"God invented War so Americans would learn Geography." - I forgot

War is fought for a few main purposes. The first being to exploit another group of people, the second being to fight against being exploited, and the third being to fight for survival when the resources essential to survival are scarce, but you don’t see war being fought for the last purpose as often in the modern world. There are things societies can do to lower their rates of exploitation, but it should never be forgotten that it is part of human nature to wish to exploit others, and exploitation will remain an aspect of human life for as long as humans exist. A world without war is a world that must be rampant with slavery, since slaves have the most difficult time rebelling due to their lack of wealth and knowledge, including the knowledge that they are being exploited in the first place, and their lack of mental and physical fortitude.

Big Zed also Cliffs of Gallipoli and To Hell and Back

They glorify heroes that deserve the glory but not war itself.

*Six miles of ground has been won, half a million men are gone*

Maybe because people are stupid/they don't know English well Easy example, Final Solution is about terror and horror of Holocaust, yet I heard many people say that it glorified it, what's untrue, because it clearly was about how bad it was. It's hard to say that you glorify something by calling it "One way trip to hell"" People maybe hear 3 key words, like AUSCHWITZ AWAITS. But forget about all the bad things which were said

great war

I wanted to say that, then I saw this comment

The love of history and the romance of tanks.

Their cover of Für Immer is about that though

honestly I would of liked it better if he says "our songs are about gods and lords of hell raising to control over political powers of the world" seeing as how he answered a few questions that his music is not that :P

No greater love exists than a man lay down his life for his brother

He's obviously Swedish Pagans

My Uncle, a Vietnam Vet, and I like to listen to Sabaton together. Sometimes he tells me his war stories afterwards. I've seen his eyes tear up while listening to Into the Fire. He'd had men under his command hit by napalm and the only thing he could do for them was shoot them to end their suffering.

Yeah, anyone who sings 'Attack of the Dead Men', which caused many people (including myself) to read about that piece of horror, is NOT glorifying war!

@@DND_and_Star_wars_enjoyer nvm you are a fucking bot

I was thinking either Metal Machine or Panzerkampf. If he sings any more songs about Tanks, he's going to become one! 🤘😁🍺

I would've said Swedish Pagans (due to the big running joke)

Yep same here

I might say To Hell And Back or Midway or Far From The Fame.

"All of them; I sing them all!"

ThejollyFrenchman have you heard the begginins of Sabaton? really, different vibe

To be fair, they sing about historical events.. the majority of history revolves around religion; whether they are religious or not, the history is. So they sing about it

@@MsPandacakes I know, I'm not saying that they're religious, just that someone who doesn't know them could be fooled by a few of the songs into thinking that they're Christian metal.

Gotta Mitt Uns

Also joakim’s song: BURN YOUR CROSSES AND MAKE WAY FOR YOURSELVES!

The problem is that the wise tend to question themselves rather than blurt their ignorance from the mountiantop.

Stephen Hancock I mean the world starts to be anti-religious, I think it's a bad thing because everybody should have the rght to belive what he wants whitout pushing it down peoples throat.

@@randomhalf-mapplesiruphalf1666 I said "non-religious", not "anti-religious". They aren't pushing Athiesm by any means, although, members of the band have stated they are Athiest. The band portrays Christianity in a very positive light. In my opinion, due to the historical figures they cover, and what they believed in. I appreciate their positive coverage of Christians, even if in conflict with the the band's own personal beliefs.

@@stephenhancock1578 I'm an atheist, and I sing along with "The Last Stand" like everybody else. The song isn't about glorifying God (or any of that "Deus Vult" crusade nonsense), but about the heroes, the 189, and their story. Whenever it shows up in their songs, Christianity is merely a plot device.

@@BlackEpyon They aren't trashing Christianity are they? That's what I said, and you could say that war is also a plot device.

@@stephenhancock1578 They actually do trash Christianity, though indirectly, in "A Lifetime of War." "Religion and greed cause millions to bleed." There have been many conflicts since the Protestant Reformation, all the way up to the Irish "Troubles" in the 1970's, where the battle lines between the ostensibly "political" forces could be distinguished just as clearly by the simple difference of which sect of Christianity they profess. That's not the kind of distinction you can ignore, because whether or not religion itself is the motivation, the parishioners on both sides will be praying just as fervently for their own victory while decrying the heretics of the other side. Much like the Crusades, the 30 years war was motivated by political conquest in the name of religion, with lines like from the Catholic ArchDuke of Graz, "I would rather make a desert of this country, than rule over heretics," by which he meant Protestants.

this may be true but at least glory hammer has a better plot than most modern movies lol

Yes exactly! They either condemn war or glorify the tighters

I guess it can be summarised by: They condemn war but they glorify heroic, brave and honourable actions in those wars.

Also a lot of the Great War album glorifies soldiers and condemns war

Ah I see your a man of brain cells as well

Yes I don’t wanna hear oh my god this movie has one semi homophobic joke that was only for comedic purposes and not to offend or Forced representation or force opinions on other people anyways I agree

They might know science since some of them have STEM degrees and maybe politics since everyone is involved in it in a democracy or representative democracy in a republic. Thus needing for participation. Whether They are experts or at least any decent, you be the judge.

They mean in their overarching message, they have no political or religious agenda behind it. They tell REAL stories, and real stories have religious and political messages

Well, Green Day seems to be more satirical about it, but that's just me. Also, WHAT IS THAT PFP?!

I mean tbf at least when it comes to green day they often straddle the line between pop rock and punk. Punk as a genre is inherently political, if a punk band didn't get political from time to time then their doing something wrong.
