Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead wrote "1916" after watching a TV documentary on the Battle of the Somme and was very moved by the interview with a veteran of the battle who broke down in tears talking about holding his best friend in his arms as he died. Lemmy's version is much more stripped back and solemn, but the Sabaton version provided an epic counterpoint as a tribute to both Lemmy and all of the soldiers throughout history who marched off to fight, and sometimes die, for their homelands. RIP, you are all missed and appreciated.

Its interesting how they made their version such a companion piece to the original, it reminds me of en livstid i krig and a lifetime of war - the same song, covering the same event, but with a twist (in that case the lyrics, covering the war from a more distant perspective in the english version compared to a more personal version in the swedish)

I concur, it's an amazing story about courage, honor, and most importantly, mercy. Franz Stiegler truly was a knight of the old code. I also recommend the animated story videos for "Night Witches", "The First Soldier", "The Lady of the Dark", as well as their videos for "Soldier of Heaven", "Steel Commanders" and "The Defense of Moscow".

The music video has a lot of Easter eggs to other songs they made. Everything that I noticed in this video is: - Woman looking at planes in the sky is one of the Night Witches from the song “Night Witches” - The plane in the sky is a B17 from the song “No Bullets Fly” - Spartans in the crowd are of course from the song “Sparta” - The black guy is a Harlem Hellfighter from the song “Hellfighters” - Officer with eye patch is Adrian Carton de Wiart from the song “The Unkillable Solidier” - The ANZAC’s are mentioned with the Australian flag from the song “Cliffs of Gallipoli” - The Airborne Soldiers are from the song “Screaming Eagles” - Roman soldier on horse is one of the “Winged Hussars” - The car with driver represents the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, which started WW1 “Sarajevo” - Alvin York, one of the most decorated soldiers from the US in ww1 is from the song “82nd All the Way” And of course the man in the picture is Lemmy from Mötorhead

My grandfather was born in 1900 when war came he and his brothers did precisely what these young men did and added two years to their age they fought hard and thankfully survived although only my grandfather got through the war unwounded, he later went on to become a military chaplain and served with the us army all the way up until 1960 when he went home to rural Indiana and lived out the rest of his days as a pastor of a small white church in a town just outside of Brazil Indiana

Wow! I've heard "1916" many times & watched many reactions to it. This isn't my 1st Sabaton reaction of yours I've watched. You're doing GREAT w/Sabaton - Keep Going !!! As many 1916 reactions I've seen you'd think I'd be numb to it. Your reaction made me react! You hv a TON of Heart. Yeah, I challenge someone (especially after Iraq & Afghanistan & now) who doesn't know someone in the US military today. I was married only 5 days when I went to Iraq. In Kuwait & Iraq, I'm proud that I served briefly alongside our amazing British allies. I wish we Humans were to a point in evolution where War wld be obsolete. The Battle of the Somme was devastating in WW1. Causalities were obscene (I don't think that word does it justice). Sabaton did "FIELDS OF VERDUN" for WW1 also (some call Verdun the Stalingrad of WW1). Great reaction to a moving song. :)

I did some researching and found that all the names of the soldiers, knights and Spartans in the end were real people. Many of the soldiers were Medal of Honor, Silver Star, Victoria Cross or Croix de Guerre recipients. The soldier pulling himself out of the mud, at first I thought he was a member of "The Smoking Snakes" (Força Expedicionária Brasileira, FEB, nicknamed Cobras Fumantes), but doing some more research with the patch on his shoulder as well as his helmet, that's Sgt Henry Johnson of the 15th New York National Guard Regiment, aka "The Harlem Hellfighters". Medal of Honor recipient and recipient of French Croix de Guerre avec Palme, France's highest award for valor. The Medal of Honor was awarded to him in 2015. Sgt. Henry Johnson is "one of the five bravest American soldiers in the war." Theodore Roosevelt Jr. in his book "Rank and File: True Stories of the Great War" The Asian soldier with the cocked-hat, that's a Nepalese Gurka named Havildar Gurung (per the credits) who earn the Victoria Cross in the Burma campaign off WWII. Sgt Awal Nur, who did a secret mission over the Himalaya. Lt. Audie Murphy, Sgt. Alvin York are both medal of honor recipients from WWI (York) and WWII (Murphy). I also notice a soldier with the Croix Lorraine on what looks like a French flag arm band, meaning he was a member of the 'Forces françaises libres' forces in WWII. Doing some reading I found out that a large number of French colonial troops from territories such as Chad had joined with the 'Forces françaises libres'. I suspect that soldier is Lt Comba, but I can't find anything on him. As I've been working my way through the names listed in the credits and found another one: Private George Stringer, Manchester, Awarded the Victoria Cross at the Battle of Es Sinn in Mesopotamia. Capt. Dobson, 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion, Killed on 9 July 1916 in Flanders.

Fantastic reaction, again! You were "spot on" with your emotions. When a person hears this, they are supposed to get hit hard in "the feels". You are supposed to fidget a little, when the facts are given about the battle of the Somme. The toll is almost inconceivable. Yes, it was a cello in the outro, superbly played and conceived by Master Cellist, Tina Guo. (She has also written music for the movie Wonder Woman). Follow your heart on your next reaction. There is so much out there to soak in. TC & GB.

But thanks to Sabaton and other bands like Iron maiden and this motorhead song stories of war will be told. But Sabaton does it best both sides of the story and very personal.

There are some things in the video to be aware of. The car in the middle of the street represents King Ferdinand. He and his wife were shot and killed in that car. It brought his country into WW1.

Grandpa Vlake apparently hated telling his war stories and it really made him mentally upset. he would tell them, if people were super curious, and he wouldn't get mad, but it was just PTSD. i sadly never got to know him though as he passed before i was born.

Thank you for another wonderful reaction to the band, I have been a huge fan of for over 20 years now... Tears happen and are never bad or even something to be ashamed of, listening to Sabaton... I tear up to some songs, I've been listening to dozens of times, especially when the videos support the message, as in "No Bullets Fly" with the amazing Yarnhub animated video.. but ofc there are the heroic and sometimes even cheerful and uplifting songs to discover, like "The unkillable Soldier" .. if you would like to discover the different sides, I'd like to recommend you some songs, some of them are lesser known or imo WAY underrated, but in the end you can't go wrong with no matter what Sabaton song...to just name some of my all time favourites from them- Hearts of Iron, Ghost Division(live from Woodstock), En livstid i krig(live from Gothenburg), Swedish Pagans (live from Wacken 2019, with Tina Guo!!), No Bullets Fly (animated video), Winged Hussars and from the new Album Lady of the Dark(animated Video) or Valley of Death... keep going with what you do, I am happy, I left a follow here and can't wait for more!

@StacyRPG: As a military veteran, thank you for your heartfelt and soulful reaction. In my life, I have witnessed a historical transition many never think about, which is that history is always becoming fixed. Why that is, is because the men who fought those wars die and are forgotten. In my life, I have seen the following: 1. The passing of the last World War I veteran of any nation 2. The passing of the last Bismarck survivor from World War II. 3. The passing of the last survivor of USS Arizona, who was buried at the memorial 4. The passing of the last Night Witch, of the Soviet Air Force's 588th Night Bombing Regiment, who passed away in 2017 In my lifetime, I will witness the time of life come to an end of all World War II veterans, of all nations. As of this writing, to my knowledge, there are less than 250 veterans left who fought at D-Day in 1944. Those men will, in all liklihood, all pass away in the next ten or fifteen years. And you absolutely right: While it is cliché, it is still true: Those who don't remember history are condemned to repeat it. Because the cost, the human cost, is almost always higher than what even political or military leaders expect, even if it is possible to predict with 100% accurate intel.

There an uncommented but very present detail that packs quiet a punch when you know what it means => It's the beautiful ecru coloured convertible that pops up occasionally in the video... this is the very *pale horse* that *conquest* rode in on with *war and famine and death* in it's train. This is the car that Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his (morganatic) wife Sophie Duchess Hohenberg bled to death in on June 28th in Sarajevo. The spark that directly touched off the *Apocalypse of the Old World.* The "One foolish things in the Balkans" that would touch off the next Great European War as Bismarck had predicted 20+ years before the events. It's both disturbing to think about in our very "early 20th century-esque" world and awesome to see these little details, left without explicit explanation, as proof to the level of historical knowledge that Sabaton has risen by now. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz

My grandpa was WWII as well. He and my great-uncle were on the carrier Saratoga. Different sides, funnily they never met until my parents wedding. When he told me at Iwo Jima they took 5x 550lb. bombs and 3x Kamikaze hits in 3 minutes it was the most amazing story I’ve heard in my life. My 8yo self was immediately a WWII buff. It’s like Sabaton are continuing my grandpa and uncle’s stories 42 years later. I love that band.

Hey Stacey, Just a little note on casualties. When it comes to military casualties it's not exclusive to deaths. The definition also includes those deemed unfit for combat. This includes the wounded and the missing/captured. So while there were 57,000 total British casualties on July 1, 1916 and the Battle of the Somme, the actual death toll is around 19,000. Still a staggering number, as it is to this day, the deadliest single day in British military history.

I remember we had to read, as required reading either in Swedish or history class, the book All Quiet on the Western Front (originally German, written in 1929, so it was still important some 70 years after its publication). It's about WW1 from the eyes of a 19 yo German put into the army and sent, with some friends, to the front. It speaks of his views as they go from hopeful and confident into crashing further and further down as his friends die one by one around him. I don't remember much about the book (I had to look up the summary lol) but I always remember the title because I despised that book due to the tragedies of war. There are very few books like that in my life (remember the title and my visceral reaction to them but not the story), but that's how we know they made an impact. I came to think of this since the song mentions 16 yo's that "lied about their ages" to be allowed to go because they had similarly confident mindsets to that German teen. As well as because of your mention of that we're all human. As long as we "other" the opposite side, it's easier to forget that we're the same and feel the same. I guess that is one reason it's important to try and read about all parties. History, the past and the one we're currently making today for tomorrow, doesn't happen in a vacuum. If we have war tomorrow, it's because something went wrong today despite how we all want to live peaceful lives.

There are two lines in this song that break me. A line near the beginning: "Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder", and a line near the end "Day's not half over and ten thousand slain". ALL OF THEM DIED.😭😭😭😭😭

My great grandfather was at the Somme. He survived, just. I was lucky I lived next to him as a child until he died when I was 16. He rarely talked about the First World War but he told me some of the brutality. Including by the British army sergeants towards their own men. Many of the sergeants never came back when they went over the top of the trenches. They were killed by a bullet in their back. He looked after the horses in the Royal Artillery and it nearly broke him to see how they were treated.

As an ex-soldier i really love Sabaton for their music, they carry the message of many. Im 30 in couple of days and i served for 5 years and as a soldier i felt that people were looking at me with disgust and arrogance, until they were in need of us, then they praised us and thank us and when we were not needed anymore the same faces as before they put on. And that whas the reason i left, i volunteered to be a professional soldier, swore to protect my country and it´s people with my life, in return for what? For to be looked at as the lowest form of human being... If people in general won´t change, the wars won´t stop and eventually the ones who will be responsible to for our destruction will be us...

The Fallen of World War 2 is a video I feel many should watch, you can find it here on youtube. It gives a real look at World war 2 and puts it into perspective with other wars in terms of raw numbers. Not an overly cheery topic, but the ending of the video makes it worth it in my humble opinion. Even if it is predominantly about the second war and not the first it offers a fascinating look into history, if not a heartbreaking one.

I'm pushing 60 and this sort of song still makes me tear up. My mother's step dad was injured at the Somme in 1916 int the battle that this song is about. He was buried by a German explosion and was rescued. He basically lost his hearing. He was one of the lucky ones. He never really spoke to us about the war. Too many bad memories, Too many friends lost. He did retain his devilish sense of humour though. Always turning off his hearing aid when my grandmother would yell at him.

Remember getting the Motörhead 1916 LP when it was released. This is the song I remember. Sabaton make this cover fantastic. The way they do it is a thought for mankind as you say. And when the get whats left of Mötorhead with Lemmys picture that is just magic!

Thank you so much for reacting to this very moving song. As others have said, this is a cover for Motorhead's 1916, written by Lemmy Killmister. Lemmy wrote this song after watching a documentary about the battle of the Somme. Sabaton paid tribute to Motorhead by having the surviving members of the band in this video. Also, a shout-out to the great Tina Guo who arranged and played the cello out-take at the end. she was the one who played with Sabaton in Steel Commanders.

This one is brutal. The first time I heard it, I was ugly crying when they sang about the two soldiers crying for their mothers. I still get all choked up. Sabaton are great att hitting you right where it hurts the most. I agree with everyone else, the animated story of No Bullets Fly is a must, but if you don't want to cry again, Winged Hussars is another great option.

Another band which does songs based on historical events is Iron Maiden. You should check out Paschendale (live Death on the Road version) which is based on the Third Battle of Ypres. The Longest Day touches on the D-Day invasion in WWII. Most of Maiden's songs are based on history, literature, mythology, or movies. They are master story tellers & are one of Sabaton's influences.

Sabaton do such an amazing job with how they blend words, music and emotion to tell the individual stories of our history. And i can safely say as a veteran myself there is not a single serving or ex-serving person that does not feel every word of this cover. The battle of the Somme left a huge ripple through both British military and civilian life, and its effects changed our doctrine to this day were they now try and prevent family members from joining the same regiment or company dependant on role so such a event can never happen again

Bit of trivia about one of the filming locations, as you saw in the credits the black country living museum is set around 1890s to the 1960s which is perfect for this music video around the time for ww1 and ww2, which Is great for me as I work there and gives me great pride

The Battle of the Somme is not only part of our military history here in the United Kingdom but the history of the Nation, it's the true story of the first day of the attack across no man's land where over 57,000 British Heroes lost there lives to help there French Allies to take the pressure from the German's at the Battle of Verdun. The main part of this true story is about what was known as the PALS BATTALIONS, who were men who volunteered to join up to fight the German's and for the liberation of France Belgium, Luxembourg and other countries that have been invaded by the German Army. PALS BATTALIONS were men and even 15 year old and 16 year old boy's who were from the same town or city that came from local streets or factories who were workmates, family members or best friends that joined together to fight together for the nation. They didn't have much military training as they were needed to help the French Army by relieving the pressure by the German Army at Verdun. There were many bad decisions by the British and French Generals, the Artillery was not effective on our side ( British), the worst sector on the Western front but as the French Army needed for the British Army to attack and relieve pressure on Verdun, it was a failure even before any British Soldier took one step on to no man's land or the Battlefield. It was a massacre of over 57,000 British Heroes on the first day for very very small gains that was personally for me a waste not only of human life but men that were sacrificed for nothing and who could be used in a less defended area to be better used in a greater less loss of life.

This might have been unintentional by Sabaton, buuut. The woman stepping out of the shaded alley. That's a symbol of how women in war has been portrayed, kept in the background and shadows. But nowadays Sabaton sheds a light on these women in uniform and their deeds, Shining a light unto their shadows and showing their heroism and glory to the world. ❤

thank you for your reaction! Mourning for soldiers from the 1st and 2nd World War Is very important! no one is entitled to it to ban this! whether Swedish or American soldiers! Unfortunately, there are countries where you are not allowed to publicly spread something like this around the world! see Germany, the guilt cult country! It's time for them to be able to mourn publicly too! My relative in the spring of 1946 was looking for her husband who was killed in action in Russia. 1 year later they found the man near Stalingrad. However, the body was not allowed to be buried in Germany because this man was not a simple soldier He belonged to the XX, who were hated anyway She was shocked when she received this news. All these wars and all this suffering, Can only be ended if you checkmate the people behind you.
