And after watching this episode of Sabaton History, you also know the real historical events behind those words.<\/p>\n<p>What some of you might not know though, is the story of the guitar solo in Hill 3234. As usual when Joakim had written the song, he sent it out to the rest of the band. Much to his surprise though, this time Thobbe Englund &#8211; lead guitarist at the time &#8211; sent a file back within the hour. Thobbe had just plugged his guitar in and hit play. He was literally listening to Hill 3234 for the first time when the solo spontaneously popped into his head, and he recorded it on the spot. And to make this solo even more special: it is that very first recording Thobbe made that ended up on the album! <\/p>\n<p>Not one single re-take.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about a blessing from the Muses&#8230; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-19-\u201cHill-3234\u201d-\u2013-The-Soviet-Afghan-War-\u2013-Sabaton-History-072-Official.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-19-\u201cHill-3234\u201d-\u2013-The-Soviet-Afghan-War-\u2013-Sabaton-History-072-Official-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-57963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-19-\u201cHill-3234\u201d-\u2013-The-Soviet-Afghan-War-\u2013-Sabaton-History-072-Official-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-19-\u201cHill-3234\u201d-\u2013-The-Soviet-Afghan-War-\u2013-Sabaton-History-072-Official-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-19-\u201cHill-3234\u201d-\u2013-The-Soviet-Afghan-War-\u2013-Sabaton-History-072-Official-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-19-\u201cHill-3234\u201d-\u2013-The-Soviet-Afghan-War-\u2013-Sabaton-History-072-Official-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-19-\u201cHill-3234\u201d-\u2013-The-Soviet-Afghan-War-\u2013-Sabaton-History-072-Official.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sabaton History Published 18 Jun 2020 It happened during the last stage of the Soviet-Afghan War.
