SABATON - Christmas Truce (Official Music Video) | First Time Reaction 

I call Sabaton the Metal History Band. They are known for doing songs that revolve around people and events in history, especially war. The piano chords played here are inspired by Carol of the Bells. As others mentioned, the end you missed by ending too soon was sung by Floor Jansen of Nightwish.

Make sure to listen right to the end, and see if you recognise the vocalist singing during the credits.

You should see every Sabaton song until the end. The credits is worth it and sometime there are also more about the story at the end

Floor is married to the drummer in Sabaton and she is also friends with several good bands such as Sawerska from Epica for around 25 years and Ayreon for over 20 years and then she is friends with Alissa from Arch Enemy and Elize from Amaranthe and Tommy from Sabaton and Floor lives in Sweden now but plays in a Finnish band they are some songs i prefer more is this one like these NIGHTWISH - The Greatest Show on Earth (with Richard Dawkins) (OFFICIAL LIVE) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qrMwxe2ya5E.html (have the English subtitle on ) NIGHTWISH - 'Ad Astra' - [World Land Trust Partnership] (OFFICIAL VIDEO) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VshpPBBehxE.html CD2 of their latest record Nightwish - All The Works Of Nature Which Adorn The World (MUSIC VIDEO) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RnOdQ5WNZJk.html long and almost only instrumental NIGHTWISH - Shoemaker (Official Lyric Video) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rjp_DfvJimg.html Honoring the first person buried on the moon so a song that has more variations is this one SABATON - 82nd All the Way (Official Lyric Video) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZgfCUxFE7XA.html&pp=ygUYc2FiYXRvbiA4Mm5kIGFsbCB0aGUgd2F5 82nd All The Way - Alvin York - Sabaton History 029 [Official] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bT2tlq6noOk.html&pp=ygUgc2FiYXRvbiBoaXN0b3J5IDgybmQgYWxsIHRoZSB3YXk%3D 82nd All The Way (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) httpsp=ygUaYW1hcmFudGhlIDgybmQgYWxsIHRoZSB3YXk%3D ://ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XhepwtKR5lg.html&pp=ygUaYW1hcmFudGhlIDgybmQgYWxsIHRoZSB3YXk%3D SABATON - 82nd All The Way ft.

Sabaton are modern day bards. They travel the world singing stories of brave warriors and battles from times past.

Sabaton is incredible. Max Quality.

All music Sabaton makes is based on real history. Sabaton is a Swedish power metal band from Falun, which was formed in 1999. The band's songs are inspired by various historical wars. Even the band name is military inspired, as Sabaton is also the name of the part of the armor that covers the foot.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Historical Metal Masters Sabaton. The band members was playing parts in the video. Two of them was on the allied side as British soldier and French soldier. The other three was on the German side. The one that stepped up from the trenches was Hannes van Dahl, the drummer in Sabaton. He is also married to Floor Jansen in Nightwish. That's part of the reason they choose her to sing the operatic part in the credits. Song You should check out is the following: - 1916 which is a cover of Motörheads song about the battle of the Somme in world war 1. It's also a tribute to all soldiers. - No Bullets Fly. You MUST choose the Animated Music Video as it tells the background before the song and also the aftermath. - Nightwitches. Here is the Animated Music Video also a must. And ALWAYS let the entire video run till the end so You don't miss anything. Sabaton teach history in a way that all schools should do.

Sabaton is iconic❤

I never heard of this band until I saw other people reacting to them. Very interesting songs and videos. And good music. Sure you will explore more. Thanks for sharing 🎉❤

The first guy you see in vid. Is Floor Jansens husband and drummer in Sabaton 😊 And Floor is singing the outro 😑

Sabaton prides themselves on the historical accuracy of their songs. While they are not the only metal band that has written music from a historical perspective (Iron Maiden comes to mind), they have definitely taken this concept to a new level. My personal favorite Sabaton song (other than this one) is "Bismarck." I would happily recommend checking it out. God bless!!

Sabaton only make songs about war history, they never celebrate war, but those who was on battlefield fighting, and those at home waiting, Sabaton made me discover several heroes of war, i never known existed if it wasnt because they made a song about this.. I recomend you check out the official animated video to the song Night witches next, you will hear a story about a batalion of girls, figthing bravely in the sky..

Sabaton is a excellent band. If you want another sad song check out their cover of 1916 that's not long since come out. If you want something a bit more fun I'd recommend Ghosts Division. Another sad one would be Final Solution which is about the holocaust

you cut Floor.....

The distant guns at 7:12 give me chills. Such a small detail hiding such a sad part: in some front sectors, the generals tried to break the truce off with artillery. Oh, and I recommend the 2005 movie Joyeux Noel. It's exactly about the Christmas truce.

One of the most bittersweet events of the 20th century.

Her: Do you have any favorites? Me: Yes. Her: Which ones? Me: ... Yes.

10+ albums of Sabatonic Metal to go. History taught with Metal. They also have a Sabaton History Channel that expands on the subjects.

Hannes, Sabaton's drummer, is Floor's husband. She sings during the closing credits of the song.

You have committed the cardinal sin of not watching or listening to the end of a Sabaton song. You commented on the quality of the film and then cut off the credits which mentioned everyone down to the most trivial worker. This was filmed during the pandemic when nearly everyone in the film industry was unemployed so Sabaton hired the very best and gave them some employment. The injured, blond soldier at the start who is the first over the top is Hannes Van Dahl the husband of Nightwish singer Floor Jansen and it is she who provides the beautiful musical ending which you terminated prematurely

WHAT ...... Do you cut Floor Jansen (Nightwish) :(

And it gaves me chills, that you interrupt the Credits...Unbelievable..!🤬

NOOOOOOOOO.......... INNA !! When are you going to learn NOT to stop a video before it is over. I love your reactions BUT everytime you do this it hurts me inside. Love to you and more love to Ukraine this time. 💙💛💙🌻🌻🌻

Please do not stop the credits - it was Floor Jansen!!!!!!!! great song with a great outro!

Good reaction, but just a note to not cut Sabaton videos credits. You never know what’s coming.

I´m always crying to this

Welcome to history the Sabaton way. Yes something to wipe your tears with is very necessary when watching Sabaton videos. No bullets fly the animated story video and night witches the animated story video will be a good watch. Just a small suggestion. Always watch Sabaton videos right to the end. Respect love and peace from South Africa

Sabaton is a band with a loooong list of history based music. and also an award winning history channel (academic award! not music) that gives background to over 100 if their songs. Sabaton videos often have dedictions and/or messages at the end, perhaps not always but, watching to the very end is frequently well worth it. Animated STORY videos (short history lessons with music videos in them, just enough history to add to the feel of the music) No bullets fly Night witches Lady of the dark Red baron Christmas truce epic OFFICIAL videos. Bismark, about the sinking of the ship Defence of Moscow, self explained. Christmas truce, about the spontaneous truce in some parts of the western front during Christmas 1914, that you just saw 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, they held their position for THREE DAYS. 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 during ww2 1916 (cover of the Mötörhead song) 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. these are just some, there are plenty more from them

No Bullets Fly and Night Witches (The animated story versions)

Sabaton songs emphasize the sacrifice, heroism, honor, and humanity shown by individuals or groups during the chaotic madness of war. They do not glorify war and they do not choose sides, they simply tell true tales of those who rise above the insanity and show the best in Man.

Love all your reactions

You should have run the full credits. Sabaton videos are never completely done until the full running time has been filled. Other than that, nice reaction. Check out their version of 1916 and The Last Stand, and Dan Vasc's version of The Last Stand, as well as Jonathan Young's.

That cross is still there in Ypres on the Battlefield , the out ro singing in by Floor Jansen of Nightwish who is married to the drummer in Sabaton

My thoughts....people for the most part are good. Governments tend to get worse the bigger they get. Anybody wanting big government is only asking for trouble. May love and peace always find its way into your life ❤.

The most important part about the Christmas Truce is that neither side High Command authorized it. It was organized by the soldiers. It just shows how most of the soldiers on both sides didn't hate each other and had no desire to kill.

I was myself late to the Sabaton party but they are incredible. Personally I love Soldier of Heaven and The Ghost in the Trenches.

You missed floor

Both heavy yet joyful. Very strong message. Listen up people.

The Christmas Truce was a significant moment in history that Sabaton has powerfully captured in song and video. In the bleak midwinter, on that Christmas morn, A truce emerged amidst the battle-worn. In trenches deep, where fear did reside, A flicker of hope sparked on that fateful tide. As frost adorned the earth, soldiers stood in pause, Guns silenced, replaced by camaraderie's cause. A young British lad, with hope in his eyes, Ventured 'cross the lines, beneath the winter skies. He met a German soldier, once a foe, But now a friend, in this brief tableau. They shared a laugh, exchanged tales of home, In the midst of war, they felt less alone. They played a match upon that bloodied field, Their boots kicking up memories sealed. With hearts alight, they set the hatred free, For just a moment, they could simply be. But as the sun descended, casting shadows long, The young soldier knew this peace wouldn't prolong. He bid farewell, returned to his trench, With heavy heart, the truth did quench. For on the morrow, they'd be foes again, Sent to fight and cause each other pain. The war would rage on, relentless and cruel, Devouring lives, a tragic, endless duel. And so, he pondered as he lay awake, The lives lost, the souls for mercy's sake. World War One, once hailed as the war to end all, Left wounds so deep, in history's sprawl. In muddy trenches, dreams lay shattered, Futures stolen, hopes left tattered. The promise of peace, a distant refrain, Lost in the echoes of battles' disdain. Yet, in that Christmas truce, a flicker of light, A reminder of our shared plight. That despite divisions, we're all the same, In the face of war, hearts still claim. So let us remember those souls now gone, Whose lives were lost, in war's cold dawn. May their sacrifice serve as a plea, For peace to reign and wars to cease to be.

Inna, war is one of those things that is very contradictory. Command tells the infantry soldier who the enemy is, yet the infantry soldier, upon meeting his enemy, realizes that his enemy is no different than he is: Another man who has also been ordered to do the same by his Command. Yet Christmas Truce proved that if only for a day, people, no matter where they are from, no matter who they are, no matter what they believe, can put aside almost any difference and come together as friends. And that when given a chance, the light of humanity that flickers during war, yet never truly going out, can have a chance to shine. A couple of history facts for you: 1) The cross Joakim, the lead singer, is carrying, and later, Pär carves into, exists. It actually marks the field where the Christmas Truce happened near the town of Ypres, Belgium. 2) After the Truce ended, one Gernan commander ended up moving his unit to another section of the line, as his men refused to fire on the men on the Allied side they had made friends with the day before. 3) Not a historical fact, but I read a comment once where the poster had said that if it had not been for the Christmas Truce, he would not exist today. The reason is, both of his grandfathers met each other that day in No Man's Land, and their families later were entwined to each other through marriage. Overall, this is perhaps the starkest lesson humanity should ever learn: Lest We Forget. Only when we forget our history -- good, bad, ugly, and indifferent -- do we allow the evils of the past to manifest once again. Yet, it should give us hope as well, because if these men in a warzone could set everything aside for one day, why couldn't humanity do the same all year round? Merry Christmas in 2023, Inna. I hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday season!

Favorites are Winged Hussars, Lost Battalion and En Livstid i Krig , last on the list really needs to be listen to from their live in Gothenburg with captions on. Any song in collaboration with Yarnhub, always watch the story videos.

That takes some skill to make a acoustic guitar sound like a electric😯

This truce wasn't auhorized by any of the military commands in fact it was a spontaneous act where the German soldiers "started" by singing christmas carols. After the truce many of the soldiers refused go back to the war which is very understandable. However it wasn't popular among the commanders on both sides in fact some even got executed for disobeying orders.

Sereno Natale Bellissima Inna

.... They were not worried about the "grenade" at all, it was a makeshift ball, you can see them kicking it because in real life they had a football match and apparently the Scottish won lmao. They were worried about the... ya know, gunfire, and artillery in the background, meaning that they have to shoot at the men they just literally met, in a few hours.

The next day both sides either shot into the air or not at all. The soldiers on both sides were replaced because they refused to kill each other. Some of the trenches on both sides were so close they would talk to each other and tell jokes. The rule was you don't shoot me and I will not shoot at you.

LEST WE FORGET

Inna, I'm sad that you watched it alone. ❤

Aaaarrrgghh! You should have watched the video down to the credits and listen to those gorgeous Singers voice (Hint: Hannes, the Blond soldier who went out of the trenches first is the Drummer of Sabaton AND THE HUSBAND OF FLOOR JANSENS!!!!) When you do another reaction to Sabaton, do "No Bullets fly" and watch the movie (animated story) till the VERY END (or you miss something)!

Welcome to Sabaton, deffinetely you should check, Bismark, No Bullets fly (animated video) and 1916, though it´s a cover, maybe not my favorite songs of them, though they had no bad songs, but definetely th must watch videos

"Lady of the Dark" by Sabaton. No spoilers but I hadn't heard that story before.

The higher ups had to move those units of soldiers to different parts of the front because they wouldn't start fighting again.

Don't know if I'm partial (from Swedeb, same as the band) but the know how to tell stories

A moment of peace in a war that never ends? PTSD.

Sabaton are unique, and while this song always makes me cry (sometimes twice) it is far from the only one to have that effect! Can I recommend _1916_ (official music video) and _No_ _Bullets_ _Fly_ (animated story video) for starters? And please make sure to watch to the end...

Benvenuta nel meraviglioso mondo dei Sabaton, una band che compone ogni sua canzone seguendo veri eventi storici e, soprattutto, battaglie realmente accadute. Ti scrivo in italiano perché ho letto che sei cresciuta nel nostro Paese. Io mi chiamo Alessandro e sono di Roma. Ascolto hard rock e metal dal 1997 :)

Sabaton - No Bullets Fly ( animated story video ). Great job. Carry on.

The gun fire they hear before they stop playing football is not a grenade, but rather used to signify that there was still fighting going on during the truce in other parts of the front, and that sadly this event could not last forever.

Well, try now 1916 from Sabaton. WWI is an important topic for them right now because the last two albums of Sabaton are about that war: "The Great War" and "The War to End All Wars".

This is one of their saddest songs. A great happier songs are Ghost Division and The Red Barron. Highly recommend you watching those

That cross they are making is real btw.

Not "sometimes", ALL of their songs are military history lessons. No wonder Tommy Johansson releases mostly lighter covers every Friday 😀

It was Machinegun Fire. The Truce is over. You see it in the Face of the French Soldier who stopped the Ball. :(

Check no bullets fly

Look at there new 1916 (a Moterhead cover)

You should look into the song Night Witches!

You cut off Floor singing at the end. That was her husband Hannes, the first man out of the trenches.

bad move turning floors voice off!

You need to know the best italian metal band in the world. Nanowar of Steel, and the best cross over of all times. La polenta taragnarock

Você perdeu uma das melhores partes "os créditos" que são cantados pela FLOOR JANSEN, que é casada com o baterista do Sabaton

turn up talking volume please sabaton is my fav try lady of the dark animated story video

There should be a RU-vid strike for stopping in the middle of Floor!

Like so many others you cut off Floor Jansen. Hmmmm not good. Hahahahahaha

A mikrofon ši zabudla v kuchni???

Wo ist das Ende ????????

Listen to Alice in Chains please!!

In reality they refused to fight each other the days after and the generals had to reassign them all elsewhere.

The worst thing is that it is based on real event....😢

良かったけど、エンディングも理解して欲しかったな････

Loved your review - hope you don't mind me saying, your voice level was a bit low and made it hard to hear your commentary (which I very much want to easily listen to).

Just react to more Sabaton. Don't hold back your emotions. We don't .

she diden get it 😕

React Sabaton 1916

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

The Christmas truce was something chosen by & set into motion by the soldiers themselves, their officers were not happy about it. They wanted that one day without violence & death, and they didn't ask for permission.

You should not cut the credits off.

I really liked your reaction ... unfortunately you didn't play the credits and so you didn't listen to Floor. 😢
