Babyface is known as Tommy Johansson. He also sings and plays guitar for Majestica, well worth checking out. The 7 pillars video was shot in Tunisia and they got into a serious car accident after shooting. Luckily they all recovered fully after that. Thanx for scratching my Sabaton itch :D now let's get back to some medieval metal :P
If you must know about the Future of Warfare dates as to why there's 2 of them: - 15th September, 1916: The first use/deployment of the tanks, with the British's Mark IV tank. It was the first tank deployed in battle. - 1918: The first tank battle, with the Mark IV tanks up against the new German AV7 tanks.
I would highly recommend Scott Anderson's "Lawrence in Arabia" - it's a great biography and really puts into context his actions. There's also a lot I didn't know about his life in there, too much to even gloss over in a YT comment but I was really really impressed with this book and it was much more interesting than I had expected. Very cool double reaction, new to your channel and subscribed.
You might as well just go in order -- this album is my favorite Sabaton album right now! Just this album alone caused me to learn way more about WWI than I thought I knew! Just wait for Attack of the Dead Men-- so damn epic!
I believe it is trying to sound like a engine. the beginning is at idle most engines had a unusual idle. that might me just looking to far into it! the 1916 was the first use of tanks in battle! the "32" that will lead the way! the second is the first Mass use of tanks!
Tommy and Chris seem to play the 'big guitar' style more than not with each having a lead during each song or solely in the song. Earlier incarnations of the band with Rikard/Oskar or Thobbe/Chris seem to have more pronounced playing off each other as you mentioned, songs like 'Screaming Eagles' or 'Primo Victoria' may be what you are seeking. Nice double reaction!
I just tripped over your channel like 30 mins ago and I have already binged watched your Sabaton reactions. Love it and I hope you continue reacting to them, if so, I will be here to enjoy the ride with you! Greetings from Sweden.
Thanks for the reaction! You don't only make me appreciate the history even more, but also the songs and the music themselves :) Also, yay for Seven Pillars of Wisdom, it's one of my favorite songs and also one of Sabaton's best-written songs IMO. Also also, I am really excited for when you reach the last song in this album "The End of the War to End All Wars", it's more like a beautiful ballad and I don't think I have seen anyone react to it yet, so I'm looking forward to it! :)
Speaking of Tanks. You have to do "Ghost Division". Just for the fact that it is probably the most famous tank division that ever existed. Also "White Death" is an amazing story about probably the most succesful sniper in any war in history
During the summer of 2019, I used to listen to this album a lot during my jogs. Absolutely fell in love with the album and I can say it's my favorite one, and I got a few accessories linked to it later on (a shirt and a hoodie). From this album the songs "Seven pillars of wisdom" and "82nd all the way" are my favorite, but I love all of them
When you talked about Majestica in the beginning and then later about duelling guitars not being Sabatons style I immediately thought of Majesticas "Above the sky". I love Sabaton for the depth they bring to their music, everything is made to fit, nothing is thrown in there for the coolness or anything like that. On the other hand I also love "Above the sky" for the exact opposite reason. There is no depth at all, everything in that song is made for fun, for show. I have Sabaton for when I need something serious, and then, when I just want some quick metal masturbation, I have Above the sky. :)
@@HistoryBuff Awww... Only the best this month? I was hoping for the olympic medal.. :/ Or: Thanks. :) And after you listen to it, check the lyrics, the second verse is awesome. In just the right way. :)
Well if you love duelling guitars i could recommend "through the fire and flames" by Dragonforce. (Maybe it's not about history buut it does have duelling guitars)
There is also another version of the 1st song: The Future of Warfare (Soundtrack Version) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N_XPQM-U3qU.html with a surprise guest singer. I'm sure you'll appreciate this special one :)
If you want another example of historical metal (lead singer has a masters degree in history teaching and geography, and has a PhD in addition), I'd recommend Serenity. :) Their video for "Lionheart" (about another historical individual, guess who ^^) is available on Napalm Records' channel!
