I have massive love and genuine respect for Sabaton. Last time I went to a show, it was to see them with my kids. Joakim pulled my kids up on stage because my son had a similar hairstyle, and he gifted my son his sunglasses. My son had a lot of social, language, and sensory disorders at the time - but the band was just super amazing to both of my kids. Loved them before that show, but I became a fan of each person afterwards.

Yep, you and I both. I can't name a single individual or publication that does better interviews at all to be honest. I think it's possible Elizabeth is the single best metal interviewer on the planet right now which is so wierd to say considering her background lol. I think it's because she doesn't do the interview from an opera perspective, she does it from a musician perspective and that makes the interviews more interesting. Other interviewers tend to come from a journalist perspective which is almost always coming from an insentivized clickbait angle. Elizabeth has integrity which is not a word I would use lightly or very often and that's probably the best kind of compliment I could give her.

My 7 year old son is a massive military history geek (seriously...the kid knows more random military history facts than most adults, it's insane). Anyway, a couple months ago I started hearing Sabaton coming from his tablet as well as his usual history documentaries. He's a natural musician, so the combination of history that's actually correct (he fact checks the songs, it's awesome) and great music is amazing for him. I introduced him to the Sabaton history channel and he's hooked. Thank you, Sabaton, for such a rich source for two of the things that seem to feed my kid's soul. (and yes, I recognize that my kid is weird. I think it's pretty cool.)

@Fordmister 2 жыл бұрын

Oh don't get me wrong he does kill it on that album, but if your paying attention you'll notice that what Joakim is singing is often relatively simple. (especially in the older stuff) Now it actually works quite well for Sabaton as it leans into that storyteller vibe they want to give off and the music is often so well written that you don't care that the vocals are a little simplistic. Plus ultimately its not about how clever you can sound and about how impressive your vocal range is etc, its about making music that is good to listen too, which Joakims voice always has been and thats always been his greatest strength as a lead vocalist.

@TheDacane 2 жыл бұрын

I got to see Sabaton in Chicago a few years back with Nightwish and Delain. Something that has stuck with me ever since is how Joakim greeted the audience as "friends" with a warmth that really made it feel genuine. I see that same welcoming personality on Sabaton history and in interviews like this. Whether this is simply professionalism or his actual personality, its part of what makes Sabaton feel like a community that includes that band, rather than just fans and a band.

My fiancée is a metalhead and loves Sabaton. He introduced me to this band, and I thought it was really cool. I told him that maybe I wouldn't have forgotten everything I learned in history if I'd been taught through the context of song. When I became pregnant, we didn't stop blaring Sabaton on the road. Once my son was born, for a those first months, one of the only things to get him to stop crying was listening to Sabaton. He must have recognized it from when he was inside. It was crazy because he would be screaming his head off, and then as soon as he heard Joakim's voice, he'd stop. At least long enough that we could distract him and do whatever we needed to do- change him, get him into the carseat, whatever. His favorites were 82nd All The Way, Bismarck, and The Red Baron. He would just stop and look toward the sound source.

I really feel that Sabaton and Joakim have grown as a band so much in recent years. It's still pretty much the 'same' band yet their songs feel more unique. As longtime fan it really makes me happy. Thank you Elizabeth for this interview . Great work!

I was at Hellfest '19 and Sabaton did a surprise show, because Manowar cancelled. Sabaton did a show the day before at a different festival at the same location (Knotfest) Joakim's voice was dying (because of the day before), but it was still among the top of the events at the festival. The feeling of brotherhood was just so fantastic. The other bandmembers did a great job of taking over some of the vocals. There was also a choir that helped for sure. It also helped that they played the lyric videos of their songs on the screens, so everyone was singing along, it was great! It was also quite funny to stand in line together with Joakim, in front of the food places, still wearing his stage armor :D

Joakim really sounds and acts like a nice man and a genuinely great person. Love his sense of humor and Sabaton's music has become my favorite. I really look forward to more of their music in the years to come.

What a cool guy to interview. Amazing how many hard rock singers are such authentic and nice people compared to the ego trip that pervades some other genres.

You should interview Tommy Johansson. He is one of the guitarists from Sabaton, but also the guitarist and singer from his own band Majestica. He has an incredible vocal range.

Oh, this interview is a jewel! 7 years ago, when they released the album "Heroes" I had the greatest luck to interview Joakim just a few hours before their concert in Budapest and I can confirm everything. He was just so kind, funny, natural, patient (as my English was a bit rusted back then due to lack of use), he even offered me a free entry for the show. The interview was agreed to take like cc. 10 minutes but we talked for more than 20. I had a great time - I hope he had, too :) Uh, one sweet thing: I asked him about how the Ballad of Bull was born and what he felt about its slower pace, emotional load and all that, which, before, was not characteristic of Sabaton's music - this song is my favourite from that album. Joakim told me it was never intended to be on the album, the melody was just a promising improvision saved for later use, but accidentally it was saved in the Heroes folder and the other guys heard it and, obviously, loved it, so the ballad got in :) Turns out they got the taste of it (Christmas Truce, oh my...), luckily, and I love them for it!!

I love Sabaton and this was great! Joakim and the rest of the guys in Sabaton seem like guys you just want to sit down with, have a drink, and have a good time with. I really wish they got more air play here in the USA.

I got to meet him in Tokyo. Sabaton stayed at the hotel I was already at for Loud park 2017. He was so tired from touring but happy to meet a fan. Met the band in the e!evator, great guys. I didn't get to the the show unfortunately due to work, but I got to meet so many bands over breakfast before heading off to work. I shared a kettle of tea with Michael Schenker, hung with Nick Barker and Tracii Guns. Good trip.

You should check out their vlogs. They capture their down-to-earth humbleness personality, such as Par playing World of Tanks on the big screen they use on stage, and Joakim and Hannes having the usual fun when out hiking in Utah.

Sabaton performed in Spokane, WA with Delain and Nightwish a handful of years ago. I had never heard their music, but oh my gosh! They blew me away. The crowd went nuts! It was as if the energy given by Joakim and the band was given back by the crowd. Just insane! He came in with a kick in the air with the music and just lit the venue on fire. I have such fond memories of that night. Cheers to Sabaton for making such fun music!

I love that he watched and enjoyed Lawrence of Arabia! That movie's so awesome. I recently watched it again for the third or fourth time. It still holds up so well. I love that it's a classic film and I love the story told. Strongly recommend it to everyone that's willing to watch classic films. (Lawrence of Arabia was made in 1962)

Epic interview! Especially awesome to hear him talk about using old school approaches of tweaking their instrument set up to generate an organically better sound when layered in the recording process, versus just "autotuning" in post production.
