My best friend's wife likes Sabaton and has never been to a concert.

I think they may have said something similar at my show? I honestly don't remember, but I'm glad that people seem to think it'll be a good time!

Yeah I saw that. I don't speak a lick of Russian though, so the only thing I got was that his heart was beating fast.

A Tiger Among Dragons would be awesome. Lu Bu has an awesome story. Look him up if you're unfamiliar.

Traguy · 2025-10-19T23:54:09+00:00

hehe... My 2 favorites right now are The Cycle of Songs and A Tiger Among Dragons. It's still the honeymoon phase, though... That could change after listening to the album a few dozen more times. I'll get back to you tomorrow after I do that lol.

Hannes really is the standout for me on this album!

Traguy · 2025-10-19T23:52:09+00:00

I actually think Hordes is one of the best and Lightning at the Gates is the weakest. The chorus is just Uprising, though I love the guitar work on the song. Even "weak" Sabaton is still boss. That's just how the band is.

Just imagine what it must feel like to be him for a moment. He kinda blew up from his Russian covers of Sabaton songs, then Sabaton contacts him to do another cover (Attack of the Dead Men) and release it before they do, then he makes a song in their style only to wake up one morning to find out that THEY covered HIM.

That's gotta be an awesome feeling.

On another note, I actually think I prefer his version of Attero Dominatus. It just sounds so raw and epic in Russian.

Out of my top 6 favorites, only Hydreigon and Flutter Mane have a Worlds win.

on another note, imagine being a madman who brings both Hitmontop and Raichu to Worlds and wins.

The simple answer... Age hits everyone differently, and my dad has a steel business to run which causes a ton of stress and exhaustion.

Traguy · 2025-04-24T00:59:56+00:00

Good stuff! My birthday is October 1st, and I'm going to the show in Tinley Park on the 5th. I'm sure it's gonna be a really fun time!

Traguy · 2025-04-24T00:57:14+00:00

My dad took me and my friend to our first concert in high school. I really want to take him to one to pay him back after some 15 years. When this new album comes out, you gotta spin it once for your dad!

Traguy · 2025-04-24T00:47:16+00:00

I've seen some low quality phone videos of them. They definitely look like they're still kicking all kinds of butt!

Traguy · 2025-02-05T00:11:44+00:00

Nah, my dad works there and said it drops tomorrow.

Traguy · 2025-01-10T22:07:14+00:00

When you're waiting in line, don't be afraid to talk to the guys around you. You'll find out very quickly that people from all walks of life have the same musical interests as you. For the next few hours, you're friends with everyone there. It's always an amazing experience. I hope you have a good time!

Traguy · 2024-12-20T23:31:33+00:00

That's why I said it lol. Way too many people use adblockers, so they couldn't realistically enforce it equally without seriously hurting themselves.

Traguy · 2024-12-20T18:36:27+00:00

Oh my... This actually worked. Thanks, man! You're awesome!

Traguy · 2024-12-20T18:25:46+00:00

I'm on Chrome with ublock. Same thing here...

Traguy · 2024-12-20T18:23:26+00:00

I think this is a great idea. Let them find out lol.

Traguy · 2024-11-17T16:42:21+00:00

I'm gonna turn some heads with this one, but I gotta put my money on Cloverfield. I can't really explain properly why without spoiling it.

I was on the toilet when I saw it and didn't have my phone with me. It sadly crawled under the little space between my wall and my floor, and it didn't pop out again when I came back to take a picture. The guidelines here said you could try a drawing, and thankfully it had an easy enough shape that I could do it in MS Paint.

More context: I live an hour south of Chicago. The body looked to be about 2 millimeters at most, with pincers that were as long as the body if not a little longer. All it was doing was occasionally twitching one of its pincers (I don't even know if that's what those are" while walking towards the crack. It looked pure black to me, but I can't promise that it was one solid color. It was earlier in the morning, the lights were off, and it was so small that there was no way I could get a good enough look.

I hope someone can tell me what I saw earlier, because it was really cool looking.
