1. RadioTapok releases a cover of Sabaton. 2. RadioTapok releases a cover before the official release of Sabaton. 3. Sabaton release a cover of RadioTapok. 2 days ago song "defense of Moscow"

Был я на этом концерте, когда Тапок начал петь, Олимпийский взорвался. Мне кажется Сабатон даже немного позавидовали)

Can we just talk about the suit radio tapok is wearing, a Russian officer suit while joakim looks like a German spreading the gas. This is absolutely gives that little edge to that song

Imagine what Radio Tapok was probably going through. That is probably the biggest crowd he's ever performed for, and he owned that stage.

Radio Tapok did great Rammstein covers, great musicians. Cool that they stand together on stage. Russians are huge metal enthysiasts.

Я подумал, что это православный священник на превьюшке пока не прочитал Sabaton 🤣🤣😅🤦‍♂️

Армия тапка повсюду =D

лет 15 назад Sabaton были на разогреве прощальных концертов Scorpions в Санкт-Петербурге. Я там был с дочками. Их тогда никто не знал, но я помню, когда они начали петь Panzerkampf, и дошли до припева Oh, Mother Russia, union of lands! Will of the people, strong in command. Oh, Mother Russia, union of lands! Once more victorious, the Red Army stands. Зал стоя аплодировал им и звал на бис. Многие песни Sabaton стоят в ряду наших патриотических песен. И не в последнем ряду. Спасибо им.

May the ROCK be with you, brother! From Russia with respect! 🤘🏻🇷🇺

Олег Абрамов, если читаешь этот комент, удачи тебе и творческих успехов👍👍👍

Давай больше Радио Тапка)

OMG! I'm finally going to see the reaction to this performance! Like from Russia :)

I saw that performance live, it was amazing🤩

I love Sabaton! They're great like this. They lift others up instead of putting them down. I've talked to them several times, and they're hilarious! 😂

Speaking of the IEMs, Joakim's IEM cables are designed to look like barbed wire (it's visible in the Wacken performance). I really love how much detail they put to their set.

Спасибо вам!Память о павших героях в "атаке мертвецов"вечно будет в наших сердцах!!! Музыканты - молодцы! Благодарность и низкий поклон!!!

Hearing that crowd reacting to Radio Tapok being on stage gave me goosebumps. We need gigs back as soon as possible, I miss the feeling of being in the middle of the crowd singing along with the band. I had heard Radio Tapok's version of the song but was not aware the live version was out there! Thanks for the video!

Oleg (radio tapok) has a deeper meaning in the lyrics. "They are all vomiting (blood), knowing the outcome (they understood that they would no longer survive), they went forward." Well, this is actually Oleg's success when such "heavyweights" recognize you and even let you record a song a few days before the release of their new album. And also a good advertising company. Sabaton know how to stir up interest)

Я был на этом концерте. I was at this concert.

As we all know, Hannes from Sabaton is married to... Empu's EV1. Here. I said it for you :D

Your voice quivering and you tearing up at the crowd noise is gut-wrenching. I just want this all to be over, pack a tent, head to wacken and just go mad with thousands of friends again... We've been robbed of a year of our lives and I can't wait for it all to start again.

I was there, front row!!🤘🤘Can confirm, the crowd was LOUD, screaming our lungs off to every song Note - actually most of the crowd knew radio tapok was going to be there, especially when the sound guy said 'guest microphone check' then we all knew :D We just were hyped af😂 The energy of this entire concert, including Avatar, was fucking incredible, 10/10. Miss it so much

Anyone saying Russian cant be a beautifully sung language clearly has never listened to the Red Army Choirs or the oh so numerous beautiful versions of Katyusha, Kalinkaa, Polyushko Polye or Korobeiniki. Or just check Kalevala - Yarilo. Or Arkona - Slavsia Rus.

its so wholesome to see this band + this (seemingly) independent artist co-exist, share and enjoy their moments together instead of having any petty infighting

Having Radio Tapok cover the song before the official release was a really epic move. Apocalyptica did the same with the song Fields of Verdun, one of the songs they played together live during The Great Tour. Definitely worth reacting too :) And the music video is phenomenal

Whats awesome about Radio Tapok´s covers of Sabaton (at least) songs is the fact that he puts more historic details into the songs. Well putting the same amount of details he puts in russian would be impossible to do in english for some reason if you tried to stay in rythm of the song etc. Its like reading a story and writing a short recap of the song. Love both of them.

Thank you for your reaction. I hope there will be more reactions to RADIO TAPOK in the future. Watch the cover of The Attack of the Dead Men by RADIO TAPOK, not the concert.

These guys are so fucking good and yet they don't mind sharing the spotlight. It's all about the fans, and the crowd obviously enjoyed that!

Бро! Ты просто крут! Случайно попал на твой канал, далёк от Радио Тапка и Сабатрона, не понимаю английского, но это круто.

I love the way they sent him the song in advance of release - that is not just out of the box thinking, it is throwing the box away! And while having him singing on stage with them at their Russian concerts was inspired, doing so unannounced was even more so. I neither speak nor understand Russian, but I have sung in it, learning the parts phonetically, and it is a very satisfying language to sing in. Of course, I've completely forgotten the songs now, 40 years later - our choir was hosting a visiting Russian male voice choir so we learned some of each other's repertoire to be able to combine on stage 150 strong, which was awesome. I think linguistics is an ability I wish I had but don't more than any other, but my brain just doesn't seem to be wired that way. Maths and physics, no problem, languages, Huh? I thought I'd heard you say before that the drummer's wife sings as well, or plays an ESP EV-1. Something like that. :-)

Удачи, мужик! Русские с тобой!)

What Sabaton and Radio Tapok did on that stage is far more greater for my country than our national singers such as Philip Kirkorav.

Russian super-secret agent is here, ladies and gentlemen. Stay put and none of you is going to get hurt! WOW, man, that was really unexpected. Not gonna lie, I was really lookong forward to watching you reacting to the live-version with TAPOK! And It was freakin' amazing, dude, thank you so much!! I've only recently discovered this channel and been watching all of your vids with Sabaton, this is just amazing, you're talking about really great and interesting things!) Even tho I'm not that proficient in Enlish, I'm still able to catch all of your feelings and emotions and it's just super-cool! Keep it up, thank you one more time for your great reactions!)) Спасибо большое! Привет из Сибири всем подписчикам канала и фанатам Sabaton!!

i was there !!!!! it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never understood why people say that a language isn't fit for singing. They obviously need to widen their minds.

Тот самый единственный коментарий на русском языке который ты искал

Привет из матушки России 🤟🏼

Yeah, about russian lyrics, I really like the band Arkona from Moscow. I don't understand a single word of their lyrics, but that doesn't matter. Also, as a badass fact about the band, it is rumoured (or confirmed in an interview) Maria Archipowa, the bands singer, writes all the lyrics in her own blood.

This is the performance I was thinking of when I mentioned it sounds like Joakim sometimes has trouble breathing in the gas mask. Also, if you watch one of the fan-shot versions they borrowed footage from, you can actually hear the audience singing along in Russian! So awesome

I am so happy for oleg, that sabaton invited him! He is an amazing singer and has a really great voice and style range! You should check out his Cover of "bodies" with Alex Terrible!

Олег как всегда на высоте

I really respect how they bring up the people they’re touring with during the main performance. They’ve also consistently chosen some good collaborations, and I love the version of “Angels Calling” they did with Apocalyptica

прикольно, меня удивило, что тебя колбасит под припев так же как и меня перед компьютером ))

It was really coom idea from sabaton to send Radio Tapok the song before it was released and they agreed rafio tapok to release his version day before sabaton!

They also performed this version on the next day in Saint Petersburg and that was awesome. Surprised was kinda lost, but still crowd (me included) went insane! PS. I wrote this comment before watch Tank mention it 😅

🔥🔥🔥😝🤘🤘🤘and now "Bismarck" from Radio Tapok! Cool cover! 👍

i have to say this is amazing! Even the cloth what the russian guy wear on his face has red painting, represnting the blood of the soldiers from that battle...

THANK YOU! I enjoyed this só much 🤗. More rabbit holes....

read history about “dead men attack”. Enemies poisened russian soldiers with gaz, but they stand half-dead and fight again! Its history

Absolutely the best version of the song

In 2019 on a Metal festival in Portugal (VOA) Trivium played a cover of a popular Portuguese singer, with him, and then he sang a song from Trivium (Until the world goes cold) and then the crowd was hyped as fuck, you can listen and see the crowd singing both chorus full power. I saw days later Matt saying that, that was the concert of their lives. This is one of those things that you love a band for, and in fact my appreciation for Trivium grew a lot because of that. There is a LOL moment when Toy (the PT singer) starts to make push ups in the middle of the stage.

Radio's music video to this song is pretty good too. 🤘

He also did a cover of Panzerkampf, and several other Sabaton songs. They also commissioned Apocalyptica to cover the song Fields of Verdun before it was officially released.

I had the version of this song from Radio Tapok in my spotify playlist long before I heard any song from Sabaton and I didn't know whats it about, but I just loved the sound of it.

Последнее время наша гордость в роке. Другие рядом не стоят

Thank you! From radio tapok fan.

This right here is why Sabaton are one of the best bands in the world

Loved your reaction to the crowd erupting, I always get goosebumps when I hear this

Hi Tank. He has in ears. You can see it when he is back stage and at the end when he takes a bow and he removes it

I was at this concert. It was just a shock, literally for a few seconds I froze, realizing what was happening

I love your "Tank Fact"'s. Thank you very much!:)

He did a number of fantastoic Rammstein coves. Definitely recommend at least one of those for reaction!

From everything I've seen about Sabaton's interactions with anyone and everyone, I'm almost 100% sure that the reason they do things the way they do is because they know for a fact that without fans, they've got nothing. You can write awesome material, be a badass vocalist, whatever... But if no one wants to listen to you, then it doesn't fucking matter. Sabaton brings out guests who've done stuff with them because it's the right thing to do, commercially and morally. Tapok wouldn't have done a cover in the first place if he didn't like Sabaton, and his cover no doubt brought views to Sabaton stuff from other Russians... It just makes sense that they bring him out to play with them. Everybody wins, nobody's feelings get hurt, all that good shit. Fans are why Sabaton is successful, including that time a certain fukkin Roadie got mentioned on their twitter feed AND responded to by band members.

Dunno if it was brought to your attention already (upd - ye you know that, i wrote a comment before watching the video :D), but this cover has an insane backstory. As you can see, Tapok and Sabaton are friends. And when Sabaton discovered his covers back in the day, they contacted him and asked if he's down to cover UNRELEASED at a time song, of course, about Russian history. Sure there was no chance he declined this unbelievable offer. So Tapok's video actually came out BEFORE the song was released by the band themselves. I find this as an incredible gesture of respect towards his covers and all the work he does, and it makes me love Sabaton even more. (also I live like 5 minutes from the venue but I was unable to see this exact show cause it went sold out incredibly fast, except for 500$ VIP sits)

Radio tapok лучшие! Ты должен послушать Depeche Mode в исполнении Radio Tapok послушать!

I'm also like this, the crowd reaction brings the unfathomable joy to my heart. The earliest example of this that I've ever heard was Therion - Dawn of Perishness, when they just put the sample of live crowd cheering into the song. Man, I love this.

this russian guy is really good i like alot of his covers despite some being in russian and i dont understand a thing his rammstein catalogue is amazing but yeah he kills it every song he does

My English is bad,but I say you're amazing! From Russia with love

It is simply Impossible to not headbang to Attack of the dead man. With this song in a Playlist you will loose every Challenge

Absolut geil. Auch die Bewegung zum Gesang, das Outfit, der deutsche Soldat mit der Gasausrüstung. Richtig geile Performance

You would like the song Primo Victoria, the official video feels like a actual movie, keep the amazing work!

Thanks for your review mate! Visiting this gig in Moscow was just incredible experience!

Awesome! I realy love that you can listen to music in any language. It gives a lot of new good stuff to put in playlist especialy because otherwise you probably wouldn't listen to music where you can understant literaly nothing

Спасибо. Я услышал что хотел.!

Шикарно! сделай обзор на песню "Гвардия Петра"

Tank, you are so cool! Like from Siberia!

TankTheTech i'd love to see you react to "Mustasch - Lawbreaker" or any Mustasch song

If you like Russian singing I highly recommend checking out the band ARIA. They are a Russian metal band who have been called the Russian Iron Maiden. I recommend "Убить дракона" (Kill The Dragon according to Google Translate, I don't speak Russian) from their show in 2019 with amazing stage setup: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abNoY8uA06_GgWg.html It is a full show uploaded by the band so I've linked it to start from the song. The songs are all great and the only negative is that I don't speak Russian at all so it's hard to remember which song is which...

Epic as ever, but it is time for Seven Pillars of Wisdom....and no I won't quit! :-)

Crowds that go wild like that always gives me goosebumps. I'd love to reccomend Winged Hussars and Fields of Verdun! Super amazing songs.

Thanks for your reaction Tank! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Чёрт, Тапок вышел и запел, я слушала начало видео, но такой восторг!!! А-а-а-а-а-а-а-а!!!

Great cover, this song not lost on quality. It's one of my favorite song from Sabaton. That was awesome reaction Tank. Thank You very much.

Long time ago I thoght that russian lang not so good for Rock music, but than I saw Radio Tapok. Most of all he does is better than original, because of my lang. Wrong side heaven ffdp by Tapok is fking amasing its brake heart for hundreds pieces - we russians like this. Feel invincible, night whiches, attack of the dead Men, numb all become better. Oleg is our prophet of rock music. Hail Radio Tapok.

Tank's highlight from this vid was definitely how fast he got out of that outfit. lol

You're a big positive guy. Thank you so much for your reaction and review. We are all very proud of this. From Russia with respect!

Tank you always make me so happy with your reactions. I love Radio TAPOK. He needs more followers, he is amazing

They actually did a similar thing with the song "Fields Of Verdun" where Apocalyptica released their cover of it before Sabaton released the official version. That was certainly interesting! from Blabbermouth: 'SABATON bassist Pär Sundström comments: "I watched APOCALYPTICA's show in Madrid last year and I was blown away by the magic atmosphere they created. This made me excited to see what these fantastic musicians could do with a SABATON song! And what would be more fun than to let them record their version of a song not yet released?"'

Good job Tank, as always! 🤘 Lovebites "Holy war" live from Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020 next? I bet you can't resist headbanging to this one!

You should check out Apocalyptica's cover of Sabaton's Fields of Verdun, it's awesome. Check the original version as well. Nice reaction as always, keep them coming...

Oh yeah! This is great! Truly a great reaction. And awesome to watch you experience all these Sabaton stuff. Love it so far.

I love how Sabaton encourages this kind of thing. It's so clear to me that they really enjoy it when people love their music - in whatever way that might be. ❤ thank you for shining a light on this.

Hello from Russia! I was at that concert. It was incredible!

As to the uniforms Oleg wore on the stage: it is very similar to uniforms the Russian Tzar's armies officers wore.

Thanks Tank! Hello from Russia!

I was there, Gendalf. 13.03.2020 in Moscow...that was awesome

He Tank, all the good wishes from Austria, i realy like your reations

Check out Radio Tapok's cover of Manowar - Warriors of the world, it's awesome!

bro, make subtitles in russian 👌 For the fact, the radio Tapok has many translations of songs, including Ramstein🤟🏼

I think a look through the vlogs and do a behind the scenes look at the behind the scenes videos they did during the euro part of the great war tour, would be interested to here you take on things that came up on that series, possibly watch and edit it down into a mini series giving a third party industry inside perspective
