i will have a new camera this week get ready for me and v3t to get workin. good reaction brother

This is why this war era was called The Lost Generation. Sabaton did very well to cover this song and give reverence to Lemmy and Motorhead.

The line switch at the end to "and now there's nobody remembers our names" line hits a whole hell of a lot harder once you realize, for all too many of the fallen, that it's true because there was literally no one left to remember them or even to carry on the family name. The last generation for far too many families died scared and alone in the bloody fields of France. The Somme was such a singularly catastrophic scenario due to the "Pals Battalions" that meant several towns lost nearly every single man of fighting age in one fell swoop. It was a travesty that didn't just end bloodlines, it ended entire communities.

This is a cover of Motorhead 1916 the two older gentlemen you see were Micky Dee and Phil Campbell two members of Motorhead the varies soldiers and warriors were references to different Sabaton songs and the person playing the cello in the end was Tina Guo

You should do the animated story videos for "the first soldier" and "Lady of the dark". Those are good ones.

I was born in Yorkshire in England and every village, town and city has a war memorial to the dead of world war one and two My school the equivalent of a US High School even had a memorial to the boys who died in WW1 and WW2. This is a Motörhead cover and Lemmy wrote this after seeing a programme on television about the Battle of the Somme. That too is an emotional song sung with very little accompaniment. I like reading Golden Age crime fiction which really gets going in the 1920s and 1930s and characters have been affected by WW1. Benjamin Britten in 1962 wrote his War Requiem for the opening of the new Coventry Cathedral. The medieval building having been destroyed by the Luftwaffe in WW2. The Requiem uses the Latin requiem text and poetry from Wilfred Owen who died in France on the front line seven days before the end of the war. Powerful stuff.

A pity you skipped the credits. Besides being an excellent instrumental piece, there's actually quite a pointed message in it. One of the last lines in the song is "And no one remembers our names" and then in the credits every soldier is named, is a real soldier from history, many with their own stories from other Sabaton songs. From Leonidas to Sgt. York and all the rest

Good to see you reacting to Sabaton again. They did lot of amazing covers over the years, but the re-arranging if this song for Sabaton was done by Tommy and he really did an amazing job. No surprise, both Tommy and Joakim seem to be unable to make a bad cover. Please check out Father and First Soldier

The first soldier and Father would be great picks that are new tracks. Good to see you back and kicking ass, also sabaton history would be a fun time 👍

Every veteran can feel this. As a gulf war 1 vet...no one will remember our names All was pointless

Yes, both my great-grandfathers were at the somme; one died and the other was wounded, losing his left eye. Both were from Northern towns, but my great-grandfather who lost his eye was from Lancashire. This is another reason now when enlisting relatives are split up because they don't want a repeat of the first world war, when brothers, fathers, and sons were in the same regiment so they weren't all killed.

Hi there vet from another vet you will love REIGN OF TERROR from sabaton its a blast total action from the begining to the end with a great solo. Stay safe

"War is Hell? No, War is War and Hell is Hell, and of the two War is worse." *Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce M*A*S*H*

I remember reading about this battle once. There was a platoon who were cut down in less than a minute. It happened so fast that their Lieutenant hadn't even realized. He called to his men "come on now! on your feet you cowards! would you make me go alone?" to which his Sergeant replied "they's plenty brave sir! just all fucking dead!" the only people still alive out of that whole damn platoon were the Sergeant (who was shot) the Lieutenant and two fellows at the wings who were also shot.

The Comradery and the brotherhood that people in the military can build with their fellow soldiers is one of the many things I like about the military and I genuinely hope that everyone one day can emulate it, even if a tiny bit.

Motörheads original was pretty intense but Sabaton just raised the song to pure epicness. As a veteran myself who's been in combat more than once, hearing this song makes me tear up every time. Lost some friends, comrades, brothers back in those days and while listening to this song i see them standing before me smiling. 🥲🫡

I haven't seen you on my feed in a while. I'm glad you're still okay

Thank you for your service, just found your channel and i love it. best wishes :D

Very few songs equal its original this is one of them. The bonus fact that the surviving member of Motorhead are in the video

So glad to see you back. Looking forward to more Sabaton reactions like before🤘

i was waiting for this so much. Thank you

Glad to see you around and kicking bro. Keep those videos comming 😁

great reaction, Sabaton have a good idea of what war is, standing in uniform at a fellow soldiers funeral, hearing trumpet... i get tears in my eyes just thinking of it, not anything I want anyone to experience ever.

I really love this channel ! I like to watch your reacts ! Keep it up man !

Great reaction brother

Thank you for the reaction, it's a magnificent cover. I always feel I should add this information to this video because it hits a harder then and it's a subtle thing: The "procession" comes across a beautiful ecru coloured early 20th century coupe standing in the street, apparently abandoned by it's passengers. This is the coupe *Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria* and his wife *Sophie Chotek Duchess of Hohenberg* bled to death in on June 28 1914 on a street corner in Sarajevo, setting of *The July Crisis* and all that followed. In a very real sense it's the pale horse that conquest rode in with war and pestilence and death in it's wake. It's the herald of *The Apocalypse of the Old World* and the first act of *The Seminal Tragedy.* And I feel it's also a magnificent display of the level of historical competence that Sabaton has reached by now that it's in there, uncommented and unexplained, just building on the possibility that people will recognise the impact of this obscure detail. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz

I've said it many times but bro, you are the chillest person out here 😂 I love rocking out with you. Love from Germany!

man i first saw one of your vids awhile ago youre looking alot healthier hope all is well

Welcome back!

Learned about this 'cause my history teacher way back in the 1990's played the original song by Motörhead in class (shortly after the Gulf War of 1990-91) to show us what blindly believing in your leaders can cause to you, your friends, neigbours and a whole generation. Thanks to you reacting to this! Keep going and stay strong! Greetings from Germany :salute:

The Pals battalions. The English didn't learn from the American civil war about all local regiments. The characters marching are all from Sabaton songs.

Woah, it's like, and there's, like, just... Wow.

Never heard the song before but it is good and very powerful and emotional.

Vaya con dios to the fallen brave .

Check out the original Motörhead song and you will understand why it sounds so different. Compared to the original version this is a headbanger. The original is a funeral march basicly, with Lemmy's mourning voice singing about his fellow englishmen. It hits even harder as the great version that Sabaton did. By the way, in Europe, mostly everyone knows about this battle and other battles of WW1 wich was a man slaughtering machine like no other. Napoleonic tactics against machine guns and modern artillerie. The only tactics they knew was throwing bodies at the target, attack the line in the hope to break through. These guys were simply mowed down by machine guns in "no mans land" between the trenches.

React to the soviet song: swallowing dust, i feel like you would enjoy it

Nightwish Army Northern Germany greets the Sabaton family. bro..nightwish and sabton are a big family. R.I.P Lemmy Kilmister Motörhead (1975 - 2015)

We never forget in ENGLAND

300k dead for 6miles of groud comes out to 7.5inches per man. If you use the total casualty numbers for the battle it drops to just over 2inches... not that its not mind boggling enough before you break it down.

First!😂

Shame you didn't watch to the end, its all part of the piece, don't be in such a hurry to finish the reaction.

start crying

❤‍🩹😢
