Top 10 Sabaton Songs

Hello! Good to see you soldier, tell me are you new around here private? Well here I am going to tell you of my top 10 fave songs by the most powerful mightiest band on this Earth and that is Sabaton. If you are new to them well use this list as a great kickstart to get into the overlords that stand before you. 

To celebrate The Great War i will be listing my 10 fave songs by Sabaton. This list is not definitive as i love all of their stuff honestly but these are at the time of writing ones i have listened to the most. For this list i will be giving you the backstory behind each song because Sabaton operates on a heavy fictional story and i love them and they inspire me and educate me and give me a great boost to my confidence when i hear them and they pump me up so much!

Onward comrades to war and let's get the list kickin! Tanks at the ready! 

10: The Last Stand

The story of the 189 brave soldiers in the Swiss Guard during the sacking of Rome in 1527. Since Charles V, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, couldn't pay his troops they mutinied and forced their commander to lead them towards Rome where plunder was plentiful. When the invading force entered the Vatican, pope Clement VII escaped to Castel Sant'Angelo via Passeto di Borgo. The few remaining guardsmen gave their lives on the steps to St. Peters Basilica.

9: Into The Fire

In the Vietnam war, napalm was used extensively. It was effective at clearing large areas, and often with 100% fatalities. Often times it would fall on both allies and enemies, causing extensive casualties. A popular fan interpretation of the song is about a US Marine, who, after being surrounded with his squad calls a napalm strike on his position.

8: Rise Of Evil

It's about the Nazi's rise to power in the mid to late 1930's. 

7: Resist And Bite

This is about the Chasseurs Ardennais. A Belgian battalion ordered to hold the battle line in the Ardenne Forest. Compromised of only 40 soldiers strong, managed to delay the 3rd Panzer Corps of Erwin Rommel aka The Ghost Division.

6: Primo Victoria

This is a great song about D-Day. 

5: Panzerkampf 

 This is about Kursk, the near the beginning "Tanks line up in thousands as far the eye can see" makes sense with this because it was the largest tank battle ever. 

4: No Bullets Fly

The song is about the incident between Franz Stigler and Charles Brown. Charles, the pilot of a B-17 Flying Fortress received heavy damage and several of his crew was wounded. As the B-17 was limping back, attempting to reach the safety of England, Franz, after his Me 109 was restocked and refueled had initially been ordered to bring the B-17 down. When we reached within striking distance, Franz noticed the casualties involved and the extensive damage to the bomber. Remembering something he was told as a recruit, he felt it would be dishonourable to shoot the bomber down, as it reminded him akin to a man with his parachute deployed.

3: Night Witches 

This is about the 588th Russian Air Squadron, compromised of all female pilots. The sound of the planes in idle flying into their targets was thought to be the sounds of witches flying on broomsticks. The Germans called them Nachthexen, the German phrase for the witches of the night.

2: Ghost Division

"Ghost Division" was the nickname of the 7th Panzer Division of Germany, commanded by Erwin Rommel in the Invasion of France. 

1: To Hell And Back

This song is about one of the most highly decorated WWII vets named Audie Murphy (first lieutenant). He received every U.S. award for Valor and the Belgian Croix de Guerre along with the French Croix de Guerre. He received other French awards too. He received the Medal of Honor at 19 for singlehandedly holding off an entire German company of soldiers at Colmar Pocket, France. A company of 50 Germans attacked Audie's platoon that he was commanding. The Germans got a direct hit on their M10 tank destroyer and set it on fire. Audie ordered his platoon into the woods and stoo on the flaming destroyer firing it's .50 cal machine gun for over an hour while the German foot soldiers and tanks targeted him. He suffered a leg wound yet only stopped when he ran out of ammo. He then regrouped and led his platoon on a successful counterattack. Audie also had a 21-year acting career, which led to him playing himself in the autobiographical film "To Hell and Back". He also wrote some poetry and cowrote some songs with Scott Turner. May 28,1971, he aircraft Audie was traveling in crashed due to zero visibility. Along with Audie, four other passengers and the pilot were killed. On June 7 he was buried in Arlington with full military honors.his headstone contains the false birth year 1924 due to him falsifying documents so he could enter the army early. Audie suffered from PTSD and slept with a loaded handgun under his pillow. He took addicting sleep pills to try and negate nightmares.

So private do you think these live up to our overlords orders? Let me know asap. 

For now, thanks for reading and stay S.H.I.N.Y. (Sierra Hotel India November Yankee)!

Love Poem

Love, What is love? 

a poem by Scott Jones

Love is a feeling, an emotion,

Love is there in the morning, in the afternoon, in the night, all throughout your day.

Love is care, Love is support,

Love is that undying unconditional feeling you have for someone or something,

Love is powerful, Love is thoughtful,

Love is passion, Love is excitement, 

Love is never dying, Love is a chemical process and balance and a clash of things inside us,

Love is warm, Love is beautiful,

Love is graceful, Love is meaningful,

Love is to have a special someone, Love is to have all the happiness, praise and smiles,

Love is funny, Love is laughter,

Love is true, Love is life, Love is sharing,

Love is a partnership, A commitment, a bond, 

Love is staying up all night talking about life and the universe and what lies ahead,

Love is trust, honesty and respect,

Love is that feeling of being so high, so naturally high,

Love is hard, tough, emotional, challenging,

Love is a hand to hold,

Love is that warm embrace,

Love is that loving gaze,

Love is that smiling face,

Love is magic to touch,

Love is music to our ears,

Love is a breath of fresh air,

Love is understanding,

Love is patient, Love is nurturing,
Love is protective, Love is confident,

Love is sexual, it's orgasmic,

Love is that feeling of completion,

Love is always missing you, when we are not in the same room,

Love is magical,

Love is the best place,

Love is worth writing about,

Love is always having your back,

Love is being your number one fan,

Love is running fingers through your hair,
Love is assurance and reassurance,

Love is eternal,

Love is elemental,

Love is all around,

Love is that overwhelmingly beautiful scent of yours,

Love is accepting, Love is loyal, 

Love is being who you are, Love is being appreciated,

Love is two souls coming together and becoming one,

Love is fusion,

Love is tender, Love is strength, Love is Faith,

Love is always here when you need it,

Love is always, Love is forever,

Love is everywhere, especially of all, right here,

Love is Love.

I Love You!

Aladdin 2019 - Live action done right? REVIEW

Aladdin the ol Disney classic that takes us to the desert and a time of old where we meet our titular character thieving and running away from the law as he does his best to survive with only his trusted monkey by his side to have his back when he falls down. He meets the beautiful Princess Jasmine but he does not know that until very later. 

Meanwhile in the shadows by the side of the Sultar plots the evil Jafar to overthrow the king, to invade other countries, to get a magical lamp to make all his wishes come true and become all powerful but to gain said lamp he needs a diamond in the rough to enter the Cave Of Wonders. He kidnaps Aladdin and orders him to do his bidding and that in return he will get the princess's love. 

So Aladdin sets forth into the cave gains the lamp but Abu touches forbidden treasure and the place enters meltdown mode and so Aladdin must rub the lamp to get out but doing so unleashes the wonderful highly entertaining charismatic blue Genie who has been stuck inside for thousands of years and now in rubbing the lamp he gets 3 wishes and he and the genie must work together in order to stop the evil Jafar from ruling all the lands. 

Colourful and beautifully designed costumes throughout the film with lovely visuals to boot. Soundtrack is great as you can expect and all cast deliver they're best and puts new spins on the old and we even get a new song "speechless" which is amazing and so powerful. Jafar's portrayal here is not scary nor intimidating he's just cold, bland and pretty boring. Aladdin could have been a bit more charismatic also. Genie steals the show. Jasmine is brilliant. CGI is iffy.  A good decent live action remake of a Disney classic right here.

Aladdin 

7/10

+Soundtrack
+Visuals
+Colours and costume design
+Genie/Will Smith performance
+Naomi Scott's performance

-Jafar being a rubbish villain

-Some bad CGI

-Aladdin needing more charisma, you know it's bad when the main character of the film is second in the cast billing.

GODZILLA 2: KING OF THE MONSTERS (A MONSTER REVIEW)

Visually stunning, fierce fighting, deadly ear shattering sounds and monsters galore in the return of Godzilla. 5 years has passed since the memories of San Francisco and the rise of the first Titans or so we thought. SPOILERS AHEAD!

The destruction of SF has left people reeling and questioning and angry and upset, people have died, buildings and homes destroyed, people missing and our monster king has disappeared or so they would want you to think. Since the MUTO's and Zilla faced off, our world was left shaken and most went back to normality, however the US Gov has plans to disband Monarch and all their research in favour of destroying the Kaiju's worldwide but Monarch although they could come across as these evil secret branch of government baddies they are not all that bad and they do want good for the world and believe the titans are here to save us rather than destroy us and all we should do is let them fight or help them fight. 

Kong is mentioned several times in the film as we are building up to the big long awaited rematch between two titan kings BUT first our GODzilla must be prepared to face the most devastating, fierce, deadly foes that we as humans and he as Kaiju have ever seen before. The Great King Ghidora who has been frozen in time for centuries but some rogue army lead by Charles Dance has other plans in waking up the titans from their slumber. Now some awoke naturally but others need freeing by ways of soundwaves or explosions. There's a lot going on and a lot that has went on in our past in the MONSTER-VERSE that our ancestors wrote or drawn images about but they also wanted to forget some monsters more than others as they were great threats that came from the skies that they feared unstoppable. They needed an Alpha to counter the Omega and we have it. Despite an epic butt kicking Zilla will never quit as we seen in the 2014 incarnation and now in this 2019 sequel too. He is our GOD and WE ARE HIS PET. 

Natural orders of the world has causes titans to come back to rise up from their slumber to duke it out, to feast upon us and our wicked ways and to stop us from destroying ourselves and our world. No matter what we throw at the titans they always seem to brush it off so we need to form a coexistence in order to survive and live in peace and harmony and we must always stop those who threaten the natural order. 

Mothra is a stunning beautiful creature although up close and personal when angered is a scary mo fo who fights for the good, she is the Queen of the monsters and her silk is powerful and stronger than anything we can create as humans, her wings can create such beautiful healing light and act as a protective shield and can absorb a lot of powerful blasts but too much of it and she will be damaged and become unable to fly. Rodan is a fierce Pteranodon who's wings create hurricanes and he can create a sonic boom from launching off the ground he is an aerial assassin and a toughy.  Ghidora is a deadly force to not be reckoned with he creates such powerful tropical storms and harnesses the power of electricity to shoot such powerful deadly lightning blasts to all in it's path who threatens Ghidora's throne for he is the Alpha, he is monster Zero and he is King and not of our world for his abilities can prove that. You take one head from Ghidora and you can bet it's going to come back and you can bet he aint ever backing down from conflict no matter the size nor power he will head at you face to face and coil around his opponents and blast them and bite them and choke them basically he will make you suffer and cry out in pain! Godzilla the magnificent saviour of our world and species the OMEGA and our King of monsters is here, jacked up, more powerful than ever, more stronger, more menacing and more radiated let's say. He will not only go blue but he will also go to meltdown mode and unleash some powers we have never seen before but have only heard about in legends.

The running theme through all of the Zilla movies is that humans side to the story is subplot that you should not care about because come on we got massive ancient monsters on our screens the likes we wont ever see or have ever seen before duking it out for dominance it's just time for us to focus on that. Ken Watanabi returns and he is the best human character there he's the only one i cared for. 

If you came out of the 2014 Godzilla showing saying that you wanted more Zilla, more monsters, better soundtrack, more destruction well in King Of The Monsters, YOU GOT IT!

However if you wanted a more compelling human emotional side to the story with strong characters BEWARE you will not get that! Like i said the only human character i cared about was Serizawa played by Ken Watanabi yet again Ken steals the show and will have the best lines and best knowledge and for a film that is apart of a shared universe discovering the world building and the mythos of that world is amazing and so eye opening and fascinating to discover to be told and aware of. 

So GO GO Godzilla and see it and be apart of cinematic history where we see gigantic menacing beautiful remarkable monsters fighting for dominance and leave your "realistically" mind at home and enjoy all out monster glory!

I really enjoyed this! 

8/10

+Monster fighting 

+Visually stunning

+Great soundtrack
+Good cast

+World and mytho's building

+Ken Watanabi

+Skull Island HYPE

+Some Good lines

-A boring human dilemma subplot

-Some cheesy lines and flat jokes

-Boring human villains that did nothing other than shoot other people and just relied on one person doing all the work herself when she was the one being taken "hostage".

Random Ramblin's 38 - The Phoenix Lifestyle

What's up? It's been a while since I have done a RR (random ramblin's) and to be more precise, it's been months?! 5 MONTHS!? OH MAI GAWD I NEED SUM MILK! 

What's new?

As you can see my postings have been somewhat irregular? Well the reason why that is as you should know by now is that I have been busy enjoying and living my life with my beautiful woman. She's been my rock since January and hell before that even like but January is the official start. She's been pushing me to do and try new things and I have. I aim to do and make more changes as time passes also but for now it's been all fun and games and laughs and smiles with us and I hope you've been enjoying life too! :)

I have not been writing here so much or on my Word program much at all really these past few months but i have been writing and not a lot is finished nor published yet but soon they will be just be prepared. I have been writing quite a bit in my notebook mind you so just to let you know all is well and things are on hiatus whilst i continue to actually enjoy living my life, which might sound or come across wrong but i feel for the longest time i have not lived and now i am so that's new. I am seeking suggestions for lists and top tens and anything you can shake a stick at so hit me up any time and i might get cracker lacking on the writing.

The reason behind the title is that i feel reborn like my life is not the same as it use to be and i hardly recognise my past life now so here i am risen out of the ashes like a Phoenix and may i burn brightly forever more.

Tv Watch List
The Flash, Izombie (final season), Gotham (final season), Game Of Thrones (final season), Big Bang Theory (final season). A lot of final seasons are going and ending this year. I am going through them slowly and i have been enjoying. Also me and my Mrs been watching dragonball again from the start so it's a hell of an adventure we have on our hands.

John Wick 3 - Holy shit just when you think you have seen it all here comes Baba Yega with annother round of gun-fu lots of gun-fu. Dogs have a lot of bite. Characters and world building is amazing, i thoroughly enjoyed this hard hitting action flick. 8/10

Detective Pikachu - Although amazing in its cgi and visuals the story and characters fall rather flat and you can easily figure out whos bad and good and whats going to happen before it happens in this film so thats a bit disappointing but its humorous and it's largely upheld thanks to Ryan and Justice and their relationship and chemistry and Ryan does practically carry the entire movie i would say with ease but i enjoyed i wish i had this film when i was a kid. 7/10
