Watched the whole vlog now before work...sitting here with a tear in my eye. You got it now, you now what we have been talking about.. seeing Sabaton live is an experience that will stay with you forever ❤️.

About an hour and a half after you left, Joakim then Pär came out and talked to the dozen or so people still there, signed stuff (including my gun-tar) and took pictures. Afterwards, a crew guy informed us that the rest of the band was on a different bus. Christine and I go check the other bus (there were actually two. We didn't notice the other one at first). While trying to figure out how to get Tommy out, Joakim walks up, so we ask him if he could ask Tommy to come out, and he does. We have our time. He let's us know that Chris and Hanes were already in bed, but he takes my gun shaped guitar on the bus to get the last signatures. Tommy gets back on the bus, and as we're starting to leave, Joakim comes out of the bus to go back to his bus. We walk with him having another pleasant conversation because we have to pass the bus on the way back to the parking garage. Sabaton are as good offstage as onstage.

That was great 👍... "Swedish build a bear".... I'm dying. 😂

Today I'm so proud to be subscribed to your channel. Congratulations for being able to attend that amazing concert, congratulations for being a bright soul who thought about enlightening first timers with cheat sheets, congratulations for having such a hard nails lady, congratulations for being so considerate and respectful, congratulations for improvising in such a funny way, congratulations for being a deeper thinking person than most, congratulations for having a heart of gold, congratulations congratulations for being such great storyteller, congratulations for being such a great KZfaq reactor and, finally, congratulations for having become such a gracious and grateful human person.

Got to see them live for the first time in Nashville yesterday and it was an experience I will never forget. Got a picture with Pär and he even gave me a set list that was signed by all of the members. Truly a day I will never forget.

I am so happy for you that you had the chanse not only to see the show, but also that you got the wonderfull recognition from the band. Great content brother. Hope to see you in Sweden. Cheers.

Its so cool when "famous people" are down to earth. =O)

Thanks for your sabaton day, it made me smile to see all the kids there being sabaton fan. Never seen them live, nice of tommy to take the time to meet you. 🤘💜

Watched this when you just put it up while at work so I couldn't comment then, but man it felt so good for me to see how happy you are about meeting Tommy and what a sweet guy he is. I myself can't wait to see them again back here in Sweden february 6. You really need to see them on their home turf, it's quite amazing I must say. En livstid i krig is one of most mazing songs to hear here, everyone sings along through the whole song. I lööööve it! And you sir keep up the good work with your channel. Hats off to you.

I saw them in Dallas. We saw the same thing, the most wide range of ages in attendance. From 5 to 65, whole families, even a three generation family. Quite the unique and amazing experience from the feel good energy of the crowd to an epic show by both bands! Wish it didn’t have to end!

Love it. Sabaton are always awesome. And you're right, you gotta experience them live. Hope you come to Sweden and get to see them on their own turf.

I was at Sabaton Open Air this August and there was literally people of all ages. The smallest ones were like 2-3 months, there was a dad with his daughter (maybe 6-7yo) sitting on dads shoulders in the prettiest black princess dress streching her hands out with the horns, there were this old lady, maybe 80yo, 2 tents away from my tent. And people from I don't know how many diffrent countries. I was with my daughter 17yo and I felt safe that even if I'm not there all the time, nothing bad wouldn't happen. I got to meet 2 online friends from Poland and Finland for the first time, our connection started at a Babymetal discord. So yeah Sabaton brings all kind of people together. (By the way I'm a Swede from the unknown town of Gothenburg 😂)

I envy you but most of all I'm glad for you that you spoke to Tommy. Must be quite an experience. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

This was great to watch. Finally you got to see them, and meet Tommy. 😀

DUUUUDE I WAS THERE ON THE RAIL!! IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME AND EPICA TOO THE BOTH DID A GREAT JOB. GREETINGS XD

This is great ,you did a great job brother thanks for sharing this. "Swedish build a bear" that got me too LOL

Jeez man, what a great meeting with TOMMY how lucky 🍀 you are to see him Live... Really super COOL 🆒 🤘 It looks like you enjoyed The biggest BEST BAND 💥 🔥 SABATON 🎸🎵

This brought a tear to my eyes too, beautiful! When I first saw Sabaton many many years ago, it was in a small venue in a small town out on the country side in sweden, even then I knew they were awesome and I would go on for years to tell everyone that it was my favorite concert I've ever attended, despite maybe at that time not being of same budget as nowadays; but the energy was still there and the vibes of awesomeness!

I was there! First time seeing them and man, I cannot wait for them to come back! The viking row was epic!

Happy to hear you finally got to see them! :)

Congrats to a wonderful day with all the meetings and awesome experiences. I'm gonna see Sabaton in Februari here in Sweden for the first time. And Tommy seems to be an amazingly nice guy

Great vlog OldSkuleNerd, thanks! I've only seen Sabaton live once before, in Sweden (in May earlier this year, during their Swedish Tour) and it was an amazing show as well. I also have tickets to see them again next April during their European leg of the Tour to end all Tours. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

I finally had the chance of watching your vlog. Thank you so much for taking us on this journey. I am from Germany and you and Tank were the first Tommy and Sabaton reactions I watched. I only been following them since a short time and yet they got me so hooked. Your vlog was wonderful just showing how much Sabaton and Tommy care for their fans. I have to wait until April to see them live since Tommy had to cancel his tour with Majestica in December. After your vlog I am looking even more forward to their tour.. I am a patreon of both Majestica and the Sabaton history channel because they just deserve it. Please keep on with what you are doing. You get a like from me for every reaction. I love your sense of humour. So thanks again for this vlog😍

Hi Tommy, hope your having fun, hope to see you when you're in Boston.Big Love❤️

I am happy for you, that you finally saw them and met Tommy. I will see them in April for the first time (that still takes so much time...) and I'm even more excited after I saw your Video. Thanks. Greetings from Germany 😊

Thank you for sharing your experiences, I'd be fanboying SO freaking hard.. I LOVE these guys for so long now, and seems, I might FINALLY see them in Hamburg, in April... and I can't wait.. I bet, it will be a unique experience, a night to remember... Keep on the great work, Nerd, and keep your big heart, and your love for good metal! All the best from Germany

Both Tommy and the band seems to be terrific guys! I have to confess that it wasn´t so long ago I discover them. They seem to have big hearts and I love their historyalbum. They actually inspired me for my next book. Thank you! I live in Sweden and wish we could see them here. But it seem to be sold out. We trying to search tickets through Min Stora Dag (sick kids can search för experienceday) and hope för the best! And you, I love to se your reactions! Keep on going! 💪🤗

I can't wait to see them in Boston in 2 weeks!!!! First time seeing them and I'm so excited!!!!!!!!

Been to Sabaton 4 times over the last 10 ish years and they are awesome. Didn't get to seem them this tour because it's 4 and half hour drive from where I live to the closest venue at Minneapolis. Get to see Iron Maiden here in south dakota for the first time tomarrow so get to see some metal legends. Looks like you had a blast and keep up the cool content.

Tommy King

If you are coming to visit Tommy in Sweden you should visit the city of Boden (where he grew up) during summer, to see the midnight sun and our geat nature.

Im 55 and i bought vip tickets for myself , one of my sons and his girlfriend .one show only in Canada ! Can't wait!!

Omg im super jealous you got to meet tommy, hahaha you deserve it. You are right, a sabaton fan must go to see them live. I once missed them when they came to my country ( 🇲🇹 malta) because i had school but thus year, two years later i flew to Bratislava last August to see them and i was blown away. I follow them, mainly tommy omg im a big fan and hopefully i get to see him with his other band Majestica. Keep on doin what you do OSN and yeah you got me emotional too with the kids you interviewed. :) 🤘🤘🤘🤘

I´m from central Europe. As you said that band was visiting a boat my mind goes aha battleship USS Texas. Btw this tour concert in Prague was in Ice hokey stadium with capacity of up to 20k (sold out). When Par asked audience to light up phones for christmas truce and as the arena light up it was truly magical.

Sabaton! Sabaton! Let's go! NYC!

You are so welcome to Sweden! If you come to Sweden rock festival or Sabaton open air, you are welcome to visitvus In The Gråhund bus, Sveriges fränaste rockbuss ..😁 Good work man! Greetings from Dalarna, Sweden.

dun ever apologize for tearin up when ya get the feels brah it was also fun watchin ya interact with tommy

Glad I finally remembered to hunt down this video! I was the one who was helping Vance and his parents come and meet Joakim. I felt bad that they had to go but I'm really happy to see that this got posted and Joakim was able to see it. The crowd really was amazing and y'all were so good to me - especially when I ended up losing my truck and the crew felt bad for me and gave me one of Tommy's picks!

A most excellent experience i say.

At 45, Sabaton was the first concert I have ever been to at their first stop in Seattle. If I only go to one concert in my life and that one being it I couldn't be happier. I almost didn't go because the friend I was supposed to go with backed out. There's no way to relate how glad I am that I went anyway to see them.

Hope you enjoyed Epica 😊

now you know why i love this band so much even the old members

Looks like you had a good night 😁

As soon as you said "went to go see a boat", I knew that there is only one "boat" they could've went to see, and not gonna lie, I was smiling like a loon when you said it was the USS Texas.

Sittning here watshing your vlog i got tears in my eyes and very proud to be from sweden. The guys in Sabaton is down to earth whith both feets on the ground.

When you go to Sweden to see Sabaton hit me up! Me and my wife want to do that too!

Great video OSN! Also, Texas is currently in Galveston, not Houston for the Dry Dock period. However, it won't be returning to Houston when they finish. While the new home hasn't been announced yet, San Jacinto is no longer on the list as the location has not been able to generate the kind of visitor numbers needed. The new group responsible for the ship will be taking her to a new dock, likely Galveston or Beaumont, in about a year when everything is done.

We went to see Sabaton on Sep 23rd here in L.A. They NEVER disappoint! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I was there with my sister and our parents. We all had a blast there

I'm going to see Sabaton tonight!!! Can't wait!! And Tommy is amazing!!

MR PREVOST 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Edit: DAMN SKULE TOMMY DWARFS YOU! HES FRIGGIN TALL!

Cool you got the chance to see the Battleship. As a player of World of warships, i once did buy a package of the model of Texas where some of the money went to the preservation of the ship. Good to see they are doing it now! ...the company has for years been having a collaboration with Sabaton. I believe they first did the video of "Fields of Verdun"... Later they did "Bismarck". Cool right? Love the Vlog!

I absolutely love your respect! Cudos ❤

Fantastic.

Going to see them in Grand Rapids MI on the 11th!

Maaaan now you got me even more stoked, for my turn to come. 6 months more to go... tik tok ..

you do know that the crowed rowing started with another band from sweden called amon amarth. You should check out their viking metal.

Wait...thats the separate ways Tommy?

We're all still sitting back waiting for you to react to liliac not afraid extended version..

Lucky you... im living in sweden and never meet Tommy. But the number 23-02-05 is the date to remember. Then i have tickets to sabaton at a castle in sweden. And its only 1000 tickets avalieble so its soon happening❤❤

Woooooow 🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥

the USS Texas is last Dreadnought

WOW!

Texas is actually the only remaining Dreadnought. Technically, she's a super-dreadnought, but between dreadnoughts and super-dreadnoughts, she's the only one left. That's assuming that you don't consider WWII-era fast battleships to be dreadnoughts or super-dreadnoughts, because we have seven of those left.

You're talking as if SABATON is the only band featured in this concert. EPICA ought to be recognized as well. You only mentioned them once in an hour-long video revolving around this show.

lucky u guy! i wish i had the chance to meet tommy! i'd faint

Wow!

Thanks for sharing your day. It was really important, the guidelines for fans, that you listed...I used to be a gig handler (like venue assistant to the tour managers, and band babysitter) in the 90s. And I was sent out to deal with clamoring fans. I'm 5' tall and 100lbs, but with a CCP...sure it was a different time, but those guidelines are just common sense. Often ignored by fans losing their minds. That said, I'm also a recent subscriber to your channel bc I usually catch your uploads. But I'm an old lady now, and I'm not tech savvy, but I love the interaction thru comments. I see that you're a busy guy, but wondering if you ever respond to comments, or are you too important for that? I'm gonna ride a bit but may dip out to another channel. Not being a bitch...just enjoy chatting with all kinds of ppl.

Lovely vlog😍👍🎶🎬

When (because I hope you do) come to sweden and go to a sabaton consert. Make sure it's part of the european tour as they then have full set with pyro and fire.

So cool to see all the kids at a Sabaton concert. This does not happen in Sweden, as far as I know.

6 foot is quite normal up here in the north :) Let me know when you go to sweden and what town and I will make sure you find somewhere nice to eat :)

Sadly, the little kid and his family left about 20 minutes before Joakim came out.

Längtar tills februari då jag ska se dom i Vara

keep it up you old nerd!!!😁🤘

jus wonderin, did daniel happen to mention he saw jinjer in san jose costa rica 9 days previously?

Battleship Texas!!

ehhh... what happened to the baseball cap ? ... or did I miss smtn.

Most important; Stay swedish 🇸🇪🇸🇪

Are you coming back to Houston for Bandmaid?

The Bus may have a Texas accent because the driver is from Mt. Pleasant, TX.

USS "TEXAS"

Sabaton is great but i would have made this video about Epica🤷

Luhansk is Ukraine, Donetsk Is Ukraine, Zaporizshia is Ukraine, Kherson is Ukraine and Crimea is Ukraine.

you act like you've seen jesus (controversial if there was jessus) but this must be isn't really good. Hope you catch Electric Callboy next year
