Having listened too this earlier, I've found it impossible to get past the line of "coughing blood while screaming for his mother" without getting seriously emotional 😢

Sabaton is not just a band, they're modern day bards. They don't just sing songs, they tell stories.

This is a classic cover by Sabaton, and the words of Lemmy hit hard!!!!

I love how Motorhead is included in the video.

Being a Lancashire lad, this one hits home the hardest.

Sabaton the Metal Band that all ages can rock out with.

"And I wish you well a thousand times a day..." Lest we forget 🥀

Sabaton isn't a band. They're a phenomenon.

They even acknowledged us Aussies in this.

I am amateur military historian and new to Sabaton, just discovered the band less than a year ago, and the first song I ever listen to was Panzerkampf. Half way through the song it clicked in my head and I was like "HOLY CRAP!!! THEY ARE SING ABOUT THE BATTLE OF KURSK!!" Then I went looking at other songs, Primo Victoria I paused the song when I heard the reference to "6th of June, On the shores of western Europe 1944, D-day upon us". I caught the references to Ghost Division and Rommel's 7th Panzer Division and it took a couple of listenings to realize No Bullets Fly was about Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler and Ye Old Pub. After that, I fell down the Sabaton rabbit hole, or maybe fox hole?, and never looked back. 1916 brought me to tears, Lemmy's original version was very somber. But with Joakim's vocals and the band's performance, it was a damn gut punch in the feels. And songs like this makes me love this band even more. 1916 is kind reminds me of HURT. Trent Renzor may have originally wrote HURT, but after Johnny Cash sang it and made his music video, HURT became Johnny Cash's song. And I feel the same about 1916, Lemmy's lyrics are powerful and Motorhead's original version is very solemn, but Sabaton just kicks it up to another level and this is their song now. I think Lemmy would be okay with that. Thank you for yours and your family's services.

The Story of your uncle got to me, my dad served from 'Nam till Desert Storm in '91. i used to ask him "Hey dad what was Vietnam like?" and he'd just give me this sad smile and say "maybe i'll tell you when you're older little man, papa promises you'll get it when your older". I wouldnt understand why his voice got low when he told me that, but years later i'd spend 8 years and several combat tours with 7-1 Cav..... i got it, i lost friends and my own little brother didn't come home the way we expected, after all that i got an understanding, he lost alot of friends in those jungles and it hurt him to talk about it, much less to one of his own little boys. it was after my first combat tour that we sat on the porch and just cried, and all he could wheeze out to me through all of it was "i'm sorry i didn't tell you sooner, but i know the kind of emotions yer feelin son, just know yer daddy will always love ya, ya did your best and thats all i'll ever ask of ya"

The first 30 seconds of the song I was saying to myself "you are not gonna cry, you are not gonna cry". 30 seconds later I was crying and I was like damn you Sabaton.

The first time I heard Motorhead do this, it destroyed me. It still does. I was touched by the amount of emotion Lemmy put into it. And Sabaton are the perfect people to cover it. It's kinda a tribute to those that served and the man who did it first, both. And it's fitting with what's going on right now. Great reaction Old Skule, great cover Sabaton, and great song Motorhead. RIP all those that didn't come home (and Lemmy too for doing a song most people didn't really want to hear but needed to)

You kinda forget that Lordi is also joint the tour with Sabaton and Babymetal ;) but yea great song/cover from Sabaton and awesome reaction :)

This a cover of the Motörhead song 1916. It is about the battle of the Somme which was during the First World War. British volunteers from England, Scotland,Wales, South Africa, india, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, colonies in Asia and more all served in the battle along with French troops and more. It was a incredible destruction of life for all sides over a million men and boys were killed for just a handful of miles. This song is focusing on the bond between these men and boys fighting for their countries the entente and central power both lost kinsmen for a war they both believed they were on the right side of the war

First rule of war, young men die. Second rule, nobody can change the first rule. RIP to those who did not grow old... 😢😢😢

I couldn't even make it past 30 seconds before the tears started.

Can confirm that Sabaton’s stage show for tour is absolutely insane. I saw them last night on the first night of their EU tour in Leeds and it was one of the most incredible live shows I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend anyone to see them live.

Im sure Lemmy, phil and other motorhead members would/ will be happy with what sabaton have done with this epic song. I love your honest, raw reaction to this song and video. I just knew it would make u tear up. I was driving when i first listened to this and had to stop coz i was a blubbering mess. Those poor men and kids had no idea what they were heading into and it mentally and physically broke those that werent killed. I lost a great grandad and great uncle at the somme and it makes me so angry and heartbroken when i think of the terror they must have endured.😢😢 Im so sorry at what you and your dad went thru in service to your country. My dad in the 60’s joined the british army and served in the Aden conflict. It broke him mentally and physically, he was tortured by the memories of the horrors he saw. He never understood mans inhumanity to man. Im so excited to be taking my young grandsons to see sabaton in Glasgow Scotland on 18th- only 4 more sleeps eeek Thank you again ❤😢

Great tribute to both Lemmy and all the soldiers. Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister wrote this song after watching a UK television program about the 1916 Battle of the Somme on which a veteran reminisced about his friend dying in his arms with half his face blown off.

I`m a Swede,a veteran and a huge Sabaton fan. Thanks for your reaktion and se them live when ever you can 👍

This is as much a Tribute to Motorhead as it is the fallen soldiers. The bus, pulls up in front of the Hammersmith Apollo, (No sleep till Hammersmith) it is Motorhead surviving band members carrying the motorhead banners and Lemmy's portrait in the parade of the fallen.

To quote one Siegfried Sassoon “I served in hell, they called it Passchendale”. The survivors of the soldiers went through hell and back to find a peace that for many never came, no wonder your uncle never told you about Omaha; he never wanted you to be scared, he never wanted to relive the horrors of war

The Sabaton Army is Global!!!! The depth of their love of history is boundless. Hail Brother from another mother. Vet of the 24th Infantry.

Just got back sfter seeing them live at the first gig of there tour and they played this and we all got emotional at this me more than some as being an ex uk service man it hit home

I have a picture my Great Grandma gave me of my Great Great Grandfather who was an Officer in the German Imperial Army in 1917 makes me really emotional cuz if he didn't survived the War I wouldn't even be here

Not sure if anyone has already said this, but rather than one of the night witches (who I think definitely still are counted among those many soldiers to whom this cover pays tribute), the woman in the alleyway is wearing a distinctly British uniform from WW2. She is a member of the British Auxiliary Territorial Service, a voluntary women's service whose members filled a variety of auxiliary roles. While they didn't bear arms, depending on the line of work some performed their duties under fire. In the credits, the woman depicted is credited as ATS Ivy Valentine, who I wasn't able to find any record of after a cursory search on Google. Judging by the ribbon bar on her chest, she seems to be fairly distinguished. Perhaps the woman portraying her has a familial relation to Ivy Valentine, and it is possible the service ribbon belonged to a different relative or has some other significance. Either way, I am sure there is an interesting story behind the name, which I wish I could discover! While it is a little difficult to tell, I believe the planes flying overhead are the iconic Avro Lancaster, the principal heavy bomber used by the RAF during that era. The same plane can be seen flying much closer overhead about a minute later towards the end of the music video, a few seconds after we see the portrait of Lemmy. It's always fascinating how much detail might go unnoticed in a Sabaton video, but they put it in anyway! Such a great way to honour the past. For example, you can see the Harlem Hellfighters' insignia on the black soldier's arm as he gets up from the ash and dirt at around 1:40 of the actual video, just after Joakim sings "ready for history's pages". As well, the Sikh (I think?) soldier portrayed in the video, Sgt. Awal Nur, was a member of the Indian Army's Queen Victoria's Own Corps of Guides. He served in Belgium, France and East Africa, was injured three times, and even went on a British secret service mission into Soviet Central Asia! One could spend hours taking apart the details of some of the costumes on display, or looking into the names of the portrayed soldiers or the histories of their units. The ability to give people the hunger to learn more about history is one of Sabaton's greatest strengths. Not to mention, Joakim is such a powerful vocalist, this particular cover moved me to tears even more than the original did. A great tribute to both Motörhead and to the unknown soldier.

i was there the first night of the European tour they performed this live in Leeds and te whole place was silent. 10,000 plus fans totalt silent for 5 minutes in the middle of a comcert

You're absolutely right about the guys in Sabaton. My wife and I had about 20 minutes with the guys in regular street clothes before a show in Baltimore. It was Tommy's first tour as a member of Sabaton. They were all great guys and let use take a couple photos.

Sabaton is the greatest Metal Group period 🤘🇸🇪🤘

I can't make it past the first 2 minutes without starting to cry

We still got a Tommy J cover today - '1916' was originally a Motörhead song!

As for me, I've studied history as a hobby since I was ten years old (in 1979), and WWII and some WWI was my main focus. I had only heard of Sabaton as a band, but nothing else. I saw Bismarck (the video) when it first came out, and loved it. I studied the naval part of the wars extensively, so I knew what Bismarck represented, and I was hooked at that point. But that's not the real power of Sabaton. My wife is a teacher, and likes history, but didn't have my focus on it. I showed her the video to Bismarck, and off to the races she went. She found Sabaton history as well, and has become almost a bigger fan than I am. As you say, a metal band from Sweden. Her wake-up alarm sound is the beginning of Primo Victoria. Saw them in St. Louis in 2021, and Nashville in 2022, and hope I get to see them again.

Just an FYI for you, I took my boys they are 5 and 7 to there very first real concert ever in Montreal to see sabaton, they lost there minds when they played soldier of heaven, epic is an understatement

Been considered some of the best historians by historians. Long Live Sabaton

I remember the 1st Sabaton concert that I ever went to had a kid like you described. He was around 10 and the band was impressed enough, where they asked the father's permission to allow the kid onstage for their last song. Joakim gave the kid his sunglasses and the family got a backstage tour after the show. The kid was having a blast standing near him and doing a little dance while rocking out. Everyone was cheering and yelling the kids name. It was great.

On the topic of your Uncle who was at D-Day. My late uncles, Tanner and Alphonse landed on Juno Beach on June 6th 1944, First wave. Both survived, both helped Close the Falaise Pocket, Both helped liberate Holland and Belgium, Both helped see the collapse of the Nazi Empire. Alphonse when I was a boy, about 7 years old in 1998, I asked him "Uncle Al, were you in the War?" Tanner pipped up "We both were kid." I was ecstatic, I had War Heroes in my Family. In 2002, just before Alphonse died, He sat me down and broke his silence on the Hell he endured and told me everything, crying the entire time. He passed away a week later. Tanner on the other hand had a blood lust and was un-fucking-hinged. "Hey Uncle Tanner, You and Uncle Al were in the war right?" 14 year old me asked him in 2004 at a christmas Party. "Yeah! I shot a Nazi SS Officer off his horse and stole his medals and gun and watch. Still got em!" "Yeah I got spritzed by a German Panther in Normandy and somehow lived!" "Shot some Kraut who looked to be about 16, woulda spared him had he not shot at us first." Tanner died in 2009. I miss them both every day and Keep their medals and ribbons on display to know that in my life time, I got to not only be related too, but meet actual heroes

I guess that it have already been pointed ot but Sabaton received an award here in Sweden as the best educator of the people in 2022. Big and really special for a band of boys just making music that matters.

As a Canadian the one story that amazed me that I never learned about in school that I learned from Sabaton was Ghost in the trenches.

This video was hard, only Sabaton could pull this off!

The video has various "heroes" that are listed in the credits. My father was a radio operator in a tank. His unit went to the battle of the bulge. His brother, my uncle, was an aircraft mechanic in the Pacific and was strafed by the Japanese and spent his life in a veterans hospital due to the wounds he received. I spent 20 years in the military and retired. My second son was in Afghanistan and got COPD and was medically retired. My granddaughter, his daughter joined and was stationed in the Middle East. She got out and is working as a civilian for the military.

Sabaton should be played in schools for history

Actually on the topic of the Night Witches, it is true the US kept women out of combat roles. There were female pilots that assisted the military though. They did things like ferry aircraft from base to base, transport and supply runs further away from the frontlines, etc. 38 of these WASP women died in accidents. 11 during training. 27 while running missions. That's pretty low considering there were more than a 1000 by the end of the program, they delivered over 12,000 aircraft, and flew over 80 percent of all ferrying missions in those two years of active status before the men took over again. This freed up over 900 male pilots for combat roles. The US WASP played a very different role than the Night Witches but it was an important one that allowed as many men to fight as quickly as possible at arguably some of the most crucial times.

Lemmy would be proud. Sabaton brought this song to Life. This isn’t a band they are our bards singing our past with deeds of our heros.

"Oh, a woman, that must be about nightwitches.." Never mind the fact that she's wearing a British uniform. She's from the ATS, the Auxiliary Territorial Service. The Nightwitches are there, right at the end. The two biplanes that fly over before the big bomber.

In 1993, 10th grade - 16 y/o, our history/English teacher played this song by Motörhead in class. Just to remind us that wars were fougth by the young. An adventure at first untill reality (bullits/shells) hits. That we don't get caught in propaganda, etc. In the end I joined the German Navy as a "Conscript +X" with a special education in navigation (sort of specialist in the US?), so the enlisted E4(?)-Navigator from our Boat could be transferred to the NATO-Mission in the Adriatic Sea in 1997/98... weird times😵‍💫 And yes, I will see them in the next weeks in Hannover and Hamburg /Ger😁

All but one story I knew of before Sabaton. Sabaton will always be my favorate band. Frans Stigler and Charlie Brown incident will always be my favorate story

I saw them in Wembley and my god! They were mind blowing on stage, but when they performed 1916 we did shed tears

i was fortunate enough to see the last show of "the Great Tour". Nov 3 2019 silver springs MD.... First time i flew from home alone, it was an adventure and one of my most treasured memories.

Go figure. How is that possible that sabaton can teach us bout the wars but our school only talked bout certain aspects of the wars. But SABATON takes it to a new level. They would make a great history teachers bout the war. Love and respect for those guys.

My grandfather was a replacement in the 16th Regiment, US 1st Infantry (The Big Red One), tossed straight from boot camp into the Alsace Forest right as the Germans decided to start the Battle of the Bulge. A mortar hit the foxhole he was in one day, and damn near tore his left arm off. He got sent to the back of the line where they sewed him back together and sent him back up. The other two guys in his foxhole went home in boxes. He was 22 years old then. He lived 61 more years and never quite got over it.

Living in Yorkshire it's hugely poignant listening to this. Pretty much every village has a small Remembrance garden, sometimes a large carved stone, sometimes a stone cross or a shaped pile of rocks and usually carved into it or on a plaque are the names of the men from the village who have been killed in the wars. It's quite sad when you stop to read them, you see two, three or four men who all had the same surnames and realise they were family members, brothers, cousins or fathers and sons all wiped out often in the same battle.

I cried when I watched the video the first time, I cried watching the video with you, I cried watching you cry to the video, I cried listening to you talking. Thank you, thanks Sabaton!

Quite a few I learned from sabaton it's amazing that a metal band can touch so many people my nephew is learning so much more history from sabaton than from a history book

This song hits me just as hard as the first time I heard their live recording of En Livstid i Krig from Göteborg. Goosebumps all the way and blurry eyes

Sabaton is truly the single most important band in the world. And their attention to detail is astonishing. I remember seeing a WWII picture of a boy soldier in a trench, crying and wetting his pants, paralysed with fear. That's the boy at the beginning of the video.

Living in Canada, many of these stories are known by us, still being part of the Commonwealth - like the Christmas Truce.

I was tearing up to this man, I had family members who fought in the American revolution, the Civil War on both sides, ww1 and ww2, Korea and Vietnam, and so on, this song hit me hard man

I will be at their show in Hamburg on April 24th. 🤘 Love your reactions. Greetings from 🇩🇪

You couldn't be more right, I'm an American, so I knew only American history. Then I found Sabaton, and my knowledge of world history conflicts expanded massively. All the amazing and heart breaking stories that they tell in such an epic way.

Was at Leeds for the first night and it WAS HUGE, awesome show.

First time I heard this song by Motörhead I thought to myself that it would be awesome if Sabaton did a cover on this. It fits with Sabatons other songs and my two favorite bands are Motörhead and Sabaton.

I don't know how this video doesn't have millions of views. In my opinion this is one of Sabatons best songs ever.

As a 0372 in the Marines, I was in the worst of it in Afghanistan and prior to that, I was in the Infantry in Fallujah, just about the worst in Iraq. It definitely changed me. It was horrible when my Nephew, who just joined the Marines, asked me about some of the fights I was involved in, and I talked about it all, but when I mentioned Fallujah and he asked me about it. I started talking about all the shit we saw in the first few days when it wasn't too intense, but then I was about to talk about the worst of it, and all I could see was those damn snipers we faced and I couldn't speak a word, and I just said, "it wasn't a good time to be a Marine." It is even crazier when you realize that a few dozen snipers, a few IEDs, and a couple Machine Guns over 10 days is nothing compared to the average fight in built-up areas people saw in Vietnam, Korea, or WW2. All the respect in the world to you guys that ran medical work on Helicopters, many of my buddies wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the people that worked their asses off through training to learn and develop the ability to stabilize and preserve an injured brother or sister in a helicopter. I also can't imagine seeing Bosnia after the shit that happened there. It shocks me that, at least in the US, we don't talk about the war crimes in the Yugoslavia War when they were comparable to the things that went down in WW2 Germany. I don't know if you have reacted to it, but Sabaton's A Lifetime At War is the one that got me the most. They released the English version recently and it is a quite sad and extremely relevant song.

Me and my daughter are heading to London to see them shortly 🤘🤘

They died before they even lived and lied about their age too enlist .That really got too me as my Great Grandfather and his Brother did the same . He came back but his Brother lies somewhere in Ypres and he saw his Brother get blown up. He never spoke much about it . This is a very fitting tribute too Lemmy's lyrics and you can hear his voice nearly breaking in the original . This song is a fitting tribute too all those who have fought and died for their Mother/Father land . They will never be forgotten and they have my total respect . This song really pulls at your heart and brings a tear too your eye . A very powerful song by Sabaton and a great history lesson . Lest We Forget .

A real tear jerker. Seeing Sabaton in an hour in Leeds, UK and I hope they play this one.

I reacted the same way as you when I first heard it. I have listen to it about 5 times already, and it brings me to tears every time.I'm so proud of considering myself being a member of the Sabaton army.

It's not just a reaction to a song, the video is a thing in its self.

It's not often a power ballad makes me break down in tears like this. Dammit Sabaton, you've done it again. Love from Oregon!

I'm Brazilian, I barely understand English, I'm writing this message via a translator, but the little I understand was enough to start getting emotional with the lyrics,I finished listening to the first time 50min after releasing the clip, I cried a little, I went to watch it again reading the translation of the lyrics and knowing the context and I cried out loud, this song touched my heart. What a perfect tribute to soldiers who have fought and still fight in wars, to all who have lost family, friends and acquaintances.

In WW1 250,000 boy soldiers Fought mostly British there age’s were (14) (15) (16) 17) the youngest British soldier was Sidney Lewis who was 12 when he enlisted and was 13 when he fought at the Somme during the battle 18,000 casualties were boy soldiers.

As a kid in school right now. I haven't learned an 1/8th of what sabaton has taught me. There are so many story's they never tell you. Like no bullets fly, that sorta thing.

Listening to this song, it is impossible not to get emotional. Being born in 1968 in Germany I never experienced war, but my parents did. My uncle never came home from WW2 and my mom told me that my grandmother stopped singing after his death. I don't know what you have seen in war but being a medic I would imagine too much. What Sabaton does is just amazing. So important to keep the history alive with the hope that some day humans will learn. There are many stories I have never heard about before I started listening to Sabaton and I know a lot of history. And I keep spreading those stories. And you keep spreading those stories. Thank you for sharing, for showing us your emotional side and for your honesty. Everyone needs to know about these people that died by a million for the ambitions of a few. It needs to stop.

You’re absolutely right! I’ve learned so much about history and war events through Sabaton music! This video(and the song) is so emotional I even cried through the subtitles. Love these guys and the music they create! Thank you for this reaction🙏🏻

This, and their Christmas video (especially) made me cry. Adding Lemmy made my heart even heavier.

This is imo the best covers they have ever done. They took an already powerful and emotional song and made it so much better. The fact that the remaining members from Motörhead were in the video makes it even better.

On top of the tribute to Lemmy and Motörhead and the heroes from all of the ages of history they have covered there’s one more behind this and Lemmy’s song, the Pals Battalions, were the names of the soldiers who signed up from all over and the north parishes as they mention in the ending, they joined because they would be allowed to fight with the friends you knew for years and the idea was they would have higher morale and would hence fight harder, they were pushed into the meat grinder of the Somme without regard they were raw recruits, they took so many casualties and at some instances desertion from what they went through, they were dismantled and reintegrated into other units

Every word out of your mouth has been what I've been thinking about Sabaton. I regret only discovering them like 5 years ago.

Sabaton is great music and a complementary history lesson.

Honestly the line that gets me the most is "and thats how we died, clinging like kids to each other."

I am so glad, that I just got accredited as photographer at Sabatons show in Hannover on May 2nd. I am so curious about the show and the shots I'll be able to take. And I am curious and a bit afraid as well about the emotional rollercoaster that it will be.

My late grandfather was a swedish volunteer in the finish winter war, he only told me he was a truckdriver in the Petsamo route, in the continuation war, hauling cargo and american J9 and B6 planes. If i asked anything more and he would just clam shut. He was about 18-19 years old. To day... I wish i knew moore.

Heard this 2 weeks ago in Leeds, it was an incredible set with just Joakim on the stage by himself singing this song.

Like you I too am a Veteran of the British Army. My service was 20 years plus. After retiring, worked as an Educational Officer at Military Museum. On occasion, I am back in uniform mostly from the Great War. As we have a replicated a trench with artefacts from the time. We cater for tourist and local school kids. By showing them what life was like. And The story of those who served and died during this time. Like yourself and Sabaton I tend to bring my experiences in. From teaching them basic drill. Weapons that were used they can look, but only I can demonstrate them. Teach them by making the experience memorable.

Wow. I'm dumbfounded by yes.. everything! Nothing will be normal after seeing this emotional storm of images, music, references from other Sabaton songs and conflict history, our history! Thanks to Sabaton!

I just saw them live Friday 14th April leeds Uk 2023 best live show I’ve ever seen. And sabaton have made me do a lot of reading in the history of most of there songs

Everything Sabaton does is a cinematic masterpiece. The Somme, Passchendaele , Verdun - almost all forgotten, the stories untold save for outfits like Sabaton. They even have their own history channel as most of you know. Lest we forget, for there are those who are erasing our history as we speak, and to no good end. We cannot allow this to happen.

"Did you know"? Well, I did, since I'm a historian. But that's one of the reasons I started to love Sabaton. Not only because of their sound, but mainly because of their lyrics, their storytelling, the research behind their songs. That really stand them apart from majority on other bands. They are not only entertainers, they are also history teachers for many who otherwise wouldn't go and search for the unbelievable stories from the past. And for that, I salute them!

I was at the first show of the tour in Leeds. They put on a spectacular show, and played this live. Got some albums in my Amazon basket waiting for payday.

This is incredible ! Two of my top five band combined

And Tina is back to do the credits. Does an amazing job as well

Now I have gone through your entire Sabataon reaction catalogue. Absolutely incredible music video! What I have liked most about your reactions is that you pick up on all the details! Thanks

We will not remember their names, but we will remember theirs legacy

This is probably the best reaction to a song I will ever see.

I don't think sabaton could of done this any better than they did.

I wouldn’t have developed an interest in military history were it not for Sabaton. I only had interest in a few family war stories. My first Sabaton song was about a battle my grandfather was in (Primo Victoria). He landed D-Day+2. After that connection, I needed to know more. They’re not even my typical genre.

If you want to learn about the Night Witches through a gripping story, read Kate Quinn’s The Huntress. One of the main characters in the story is one of the Night Witch pilots and the book traverses through the entire history of the squadron. In fact, if you like Sabaton, read anything by Kate Quinn. Her historical war fiction is incredible - just like their’s.

My grandfather was much like your Uncle. We didn't know anything about O'bie's service beyond his unit and that he'd served through WWII, Korea, and two tours in Vietnam. After he passed one of his service friends started talking almost like he was desperate for someone to remember what they had been through. O'bie lied about his age to join the Navy at 17 and as a result was discharged a week before his 18th birthday. A week later he enlisted with the 1st Marine Division and fought at Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Even after being aged out at 68 as a Gunnery Sergeant he didn't leave the Marines and returned a month later attached to his until as a combat photojournalist.

I see myself as someone knowing quite a bit of history in general. I even studied at the university for a year. But still, there are stories that I've never heard of before I became a Sabaton fan! I've actually seen Motörhead a few times at Sweden Rock Festival. They were kind of "honored house guests". They played there almost every year. I'm glad now that I got the chance to see them before Lemmy passed away. These lyrics really are something else! It teared me up too!😭 Sabaton did more than a worthy cover of this song. Joakim's vocals were impeccable!! Great reaction! (I believe a lot of us cried... )
