It's basically a wordplay and it's about the duality of marriage. The lyric builds up as follows: Du - Du hast - Du hast mich. This means: You - You have - You have me. Then it continues: Du hast mich gefragt - Du hast mich gefragt und ich habe nichts gesagt. This translates to: You have asked me - You have asked me and I said nothing. Then comes the big question: Willst du bis der tod euch scheidet, treu sein für allen tagen? This means: Will you, till death do you part, promise to be faithful to each other, in all days? So it's a marriage proposal. The the answer comes Jaaaa...... Nein! Yes..... No! The word play is in the first part where the lyric is still building up: "Du hast". As mentioned it means "You have". But when you write the word "hast" with double ss (Du hasst) it gets a totally different meaning: You hate. The thing is that in spoken word you can not hear whether the word has one s or double ss. It sounds the same in both ways. So when he sings: "Du hast mich", it is open for double interpretation: It can either mean "You have me" or "You hate me". This refers to the duality of marriage, which of course can be very loving and comfortable, but also restrictive and irritating. Of course the double meaning disappears when the sentence is completed, because then the context makes it clear what is being said. I hope this clears it up for you.
@DasTeufelswerkthe English version of the song is just blatantly "You Hate". That's what I remembered from getting the CD originally back in 98. So even though the German lyrics probably aren't that, they leaned into it for English. th-cam.com/video/OB4fB7FUhk8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TMrf9sfl8OAp5r9u
In the beginning he sings "Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet, treue sein für alle Tage?" which means what you said, but lateron (11:15) he sings "Willst du bis zum Tod der Scheide, sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen?", which means "will you, til death of the vagina, love her also during hard times (or bad days)?" So they constantly play with double meaning of words and love/hate aspects of marriage ... so even the wordplay in "du hast" (you have), "du has(s)t mich" (you hate me), "du hast mich gefragt" (you have asked me) is most certainly on purpose.
@DasTeufelswerk Kann ich schon gut verstehen, als ich noch Teenie war, war ich eher auf „hass“ bis heiraten plötzlich ernsthaft eine frage war… nichts desto trotz war die Antwort immer: NEIN
I think the interpretation bit is correct. In the larger context of the song the build up starts You. You Have. You have me. Think of the intentional layering of this. Why is he so adamantly saying "Nein!". The double meaning creates the duality and explains the 'hell no' attitude if you will. And I would stress that on the first word. Du. That is left hanging there on purpose imo. It's broken down for style certainly to create the sound. But this is a created piece. And when you layer like that it has the effect of telling a broad story with the simplicity of a few words employing the structure and the double meaning to do the work of paragraphs. It creates the tension that the bass line, drums and guitars all function to drive very hard. The keyboardist stands out.. he looks differently and in this tune is providing a Whimsical sound that contrasts with the overwhelming hard driven gravel of this industrial metal piece. So you're getting a package of information that informs and countersupports. So let's rewind again. You. (pause)... why? because it's about her.. not necessarily about them. You. You have. You have me. - He's there and he's there for it but. You. You hate. You hate me. - He's putting up with some crap. Tell me you haven't had one of these where they love you for what you do for them and otherwise you're scenery and or baggage.. a neccessary irritation. You have me questioned - You asked me ..and I did not reply - That's resistance. Remember, he said "you have me" but If he's there fore it and can't bring himself to respond.. more tension cause trouble in paradise. The narration of the vows is a minister presumably, so we're going third person. The question is laid down and the high soft choral response of female voice comes up "YES" which he immediately slaps back down harshly "NO!" Piece it together. That "NO" carried no explanation with it, was forceful, loud and final if not also Triumphant. I've had German; but, I'm not conversational in it fully. Hasst and Hast are pronounced nearly identical. In normal use, they are identical so context is the only thing that separates the two words in normal usage. The play on words is as intentional as the arrangement and the contrast written in the music supporting the words. Further.. this mind moving lyric was imported into the original Matrix movie. The play on words philosophically helped undergird the notions at play within the movie. And frankly, it's what made me buy the soundtrack when combined with Rob Zombie's 'clubbed to death' among others.. it's just a really good soundtrack from a really well made and mind stretching movie. Ultimately the few words uttered in the way they are even repeated amount to less than a book while conveying a book of information in the way they are broken down, layered, etc. It's just a brilliant piece of composition. Knowing nothing about the band for the most part, I don't have anything getting in the way of saying that. It's just brilliant in the same way that Nightwish reinterpreted Phantom of the Opera. I'm not a metal fan. I like some metal; but, these examples show the depth of thought and understanding in presenting and arranging that a lot of people miss with this genre for not stopping to pay attention to it. Hat tip. Cheers!
@DasTeufelswerk Not quite! The play on words is the following: They start out with "Du , du has(s)t, du has(s)t mich ... where "Du hasst mich" (with two "s") appears to be a full sentence already, leading you to think that it means "you hate me" (rather than "you have me") DESPITE the title reading "Du hast" with just one "s". Then they extend and complete the actual sentence to read "du hast mich gefragt" (you (have) asked me) "... und ich hab' nichts gesagt." (and I responded nothing). ANd only then comes the section with the wedding vow where the choir (synth) answers "jaaaaaaaaa" (yes) before the band yells the other response "Nein!" (No!). It's not two interpretations but just playing on the pretty much identical sounds of "du hast" and "du hasst" and keeping the listeners minds swithching between the two understandings throughout the song. 😉
The very special thing about this concert is that it took place in the herat of france, in Paris, and the whole crowd is singing the german lyrics... that ist something very special fpr people in france and in germany, heart warming moment
After 20+ years of wanting to see them live, I saw Rammstein in Philadelphia last year and it was a STUNNING experience. I've been a concert-goer for 40 years and it was EASILY one of the best shows I've ever seen. If & when Rammstein comes back to America, I WILL be there....!!
I’m French and l was in this concert ( lucky me). You asked if the lightning was real? No, it’s not, but all the others stuffs was real, incredible… 😎🤘
German here. First of all, all the best to you and your wife +1. Second: those reactions to Rammstein are really nice, I've found myself in a real rabbit hole watching all of them. To clear things up: the lightning bolts are 100% edited in post production. There's another song from this concert movie, where Till has an edited lizard tongue for example. I've seen Rammstein about 7 times, the pyro is real, the electricity is not. Please keep doing this stuff, it's cool to see you guys open your musical horizon to all the heavier stuff.
This. The electricity is created as a post-concert effect. Everything else however is real, f'ing real fire. You can feel it throughout the concert hall. It's just friggin insane how hot it gets. That's also why there is the so-called Row Zero right at the front of the dividers, followed by the fire zone (roughly 15 rows back), where it gets REALLY hot.
I was at the concert on July 31 and the lightning is definitely special effects added in post-production. On the other hand, from the pyrotechnics beat the heat like from a campfire only that 20-30 meters, no wonder they are smeared with fireproof gel.
As usual, Rammstein songs have many interpretations and only Rammstein knows the true meaning behind it, but they never tell and let people fly with their fantasy. One general idea about this song is that yes, it is about wedding vows, he literally sings at some point "will you have me in better and worse, till death us parts" and so on and female voices sing at the back "Ja!" which means yes, but this is cut by male voices which say resolute "Nein!" or no. If you watch the video, it adds some more context too. I would assume - and many do as well - that it's about marriage, but not letting someone to simply take you over, take your world over and force you to change, change what and who you are. In the video you can see how man and woman are together and seems like woman is sending the man over to his friends to, most likely, cancel his relationship with them because he's now married, wife feels that they're not good enough company for him, probably because she doesn't like them, not because they're actually bad influence and so on. So basically, it's a song about staying true to who you are and finding someone who respects that and doesn't want to change you, let's you be who you are. Goes both ways, of course. Oh and yes, as cool as it would have been, the lightning in this video is post production. Rammstein hasn't done that much with lightning because mainly, it's a damn hard thing to control. But fire - fire is real, there's always fire and lots of it, as much as safety rules allow. And in places where safety rules are less limiting, the fire can be really crazy. You can see some concerts in Russia where safety is point no. 99 on the list, there are flames the size of a multi-story building, not only shooting up, but also shooting horizontally over the people. And yes, it is safe, despite all of the fire blasting out everywhere, Rammstein pays close attention to safety, for theirs and that of their fans.
I roadied for Rammstein when they toured the UK and I never saw any lightning bolts. If it was done live I would have seen it. Absolutely done in post.
@@KurtFrederiksen Yes I'm very aware of the risks. I worked as a lighting tech for a few years before moving into another area of the music industry. Even if this was actually possible to achieve in a practical way, it would be impossible to do from a health and safety/risk assessment type way.
@@KurtFrederiksen I believe so, although it was not my intention to come across as argumentative. I apologise for that. I guess it's just a comment section default to view everything as aggressive. However, I very much appreciated the knowledge you have on this subject and it just proves that for me, every day should be a learning day. I hope you have a very happy new year.
The blood is from one of the previous songs: Mein Teil :) If you don't know that one watch "Mein Teil" live from 2013 - but read the background story beforehand. yes:no - these are the translated lyrics: Till: Will you be faithful till death do you part. Be faithful to her for all your days? Womans' voice: Yes Till: No
Yeahhhhh !!!! Hahaha welcome your wife to our Rammstein family! And best wishes to you guys 🎉🎉 we wait for the baby ❤❤maybe it’s good to show your wife “engel” msg 😊 Tesla are real ☺️☺️☺️
Woo-hoo! Great to see your wife. I have no idea if it’s her first time on the channel as I only watch your reaction videos. I have had seen you speak very emotionally about wanting another child hopefully a son. Congrats and best of luck with her pregnancy and your new child!! Thanks for the awesome video.
One of the guitarists (I think it was Richard) said he likes standing directly under the fireworks as he likes the "Tingle". As an ex-welder, I know exactly what he means.
Congrats and many blessings on the baby…Great reaction, Mrs. Black Pegasus should definitely be back for more reactions. Merry Christmas and a blessed Happy New Year
The real translation of DU HAST is "you have". But we also have DU HASST in German, which means "you hate" and is pronounced exactly the same way. Thus, Rammstein voluntarily does a play on words. In the beginning you don´t have a clue if it is one or the other. Only when he sings on, you dig that it is "you have". .................... and please call them RUM-SHTINE like in SUN-SHINE 🙂
Hi Guys, my Name is Stephan. I’m from Hamburg in Germany. I love watching your reaction videos. I’m trying to explain it to you from my point of view. The text for "Du Hast" by Rammstein is from the point of view of an ex-lover who looks back on the relationship and asks the others if he would still be so loyal and devoted to his partner if they were still together. The chorus asks the question: "Will you stay with me until death separates us; will you remain faithful to me all the days of our lives?" The "yes no" essentially says that the answer is "no", which indicates that the partner is not as loyal and faithful as he once claimed. The song is a reflection on relationships that ultimately cannot withstand, and the feeling of disappointment in love that arises from this realization. Many Greetings from Germany ✌️
Some of my interpretations of Du Hast 1. proposing to a partner who declines because they dont feel the same way 2. a friend asking for help and you say no (flip is foe asking for help and you say yes) 3. a friend wanting to do something bad and you say yes (flip is foe asking for help and you say no) 4. loyalty to a team, group, country ect.. however diffult a situation is but saying you dont agree with something and sticking with it. 5. faith in something that doesn't deliver your version of interpretation or expectation 6. internal personal conflict with yourself with things like bad habits ect.. also the flip woud be doing good things with bad intentions
Was lucky enough to see them down here in Cape Town South Africa, and yes, although the venue was much smaller they recreated every effect in this video live! Absolutely epic!
Great reaction,really enjoyed your wife's reaction on the ending pyro... RAMMSTEIN doesn't always tour here sadly but if they ever come near you don't hesitate to go...by near I mean a 12-24 hour drive...best concert of my life!!
"Du hast" and "Du hasst" sounds identical. If you just hear it, the context make the difference. And here again 😉 my short explanation of the lyrics: The first three words are "Du hast mich" (you have me) which at that moment doesn't make any sense in German. But it sounds (intentionally) the same as "Du hasst mich" (you hate me). Later in the song, the first three words are extended to a full sentence: "Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt." (You asked me and I did not answer.) And then, to show what he was asked, the chorus is a wedding vow: "Willst Du bis der Tod euch scheidet treu ihr sein für alle Tage?" (Do you want to be faithful to her for all days until death do us part?) This is answered first by a kind of female voice "Ja" (yes) and afterwards by Till's harsh voice "Nein!" (No!). These - plus a slightly obscene word play on the wedding vow, that I will not explain here - are the whole lyrics (repeated a few times). As mentioned in the "making of" of that song it's about the connection within the band. They never had a line-up change since their start in 1994. The lead gitarrist once said, the band is like a marriage without sex.
Great reaction with the Mrs.. love that you get many into Rammstein experiences .. but surprised you still have yet to react to some of the earlier Rammstein work like "Du riechst so gut", "Ich Will", "Rammstein", "Seeman", "Mein herz brent". Hope you get round to exploring this also 🫡 Again congrats to the both of you 🫶🏼
Nothing beats the Rammstein Volkerball concert, which I believe is once again available on TH-cam. I stumbled across it years ago and bought the DVD and CD a few days later.
When Rammstein Played at The Principality Stadium here in Cardiff, Wales. Locals in Riverside, Grangetown thought the Stdium was on fire, and our local Fire and Police were called out
The pyrotechnics are freaking insane at the concerts 🙌 seeing them live is a must! I just saw them live here in Berlin last summer ❤️ oh please have her react to Engel live
Hi! I just subscribed to your channel here.... I'm enjoying the reactions. I was fortunate enough to see Rammstein september 2022 at Los Angeles Coliseum with my daughter!! We'd had an absolute blast (almost literally) but I kept wondering why they were performing at such a large outdoor stadium until we entered. The stage was 120 ft tall by 200 ft wide..... the pyrotechnic show went pretty much across the sky in the entire stadium. You'd probably enjoy googling some images of that tour as they are spectacular. Not to mention the music and performance being pretty flawless.
Hello Pegasus’ wife! Really hope you go down the Rammstein rabbit hole with your hubby. You won’t be the same again! They are pure joy and unmatched! 🤘🤘
He's not bleeding, it's soluble coffee and water. The keyboard player has talked about it in his book because the caffeine was absorbed through the skin and he couldn't sleep (he tried decaf but it didn't work for some reason). "Du hast mich" = "you have me". "Du hasst mich" = "you hate me". "Du hast mich gefragt" = "you have asked me".
The sparkling light was definitly added after the show, i was there, i was in the crowd ^^ and i dont think it was a good idea to add that because now people dont know if the fire or the light are postprod or the real show... and there shows are good enough not to add some useless stuff like sparklings... (sorry for my english, i'm french)
Well damn....compliments on your wife's beauty. I am happy for you both, congratulations for your family's new addition! Cheers from a Canadian Metal Head. I love your channel! Many blessings for you and your family. 😊 Mein Hertz Brennt Piano Version please?
The electricity was added in post production of the concert's DVD. The pyrotechnics are very live. The lead singer is a licensed advanced pyrotechnician.
I am german. When he only sings the words: du hast mich, everyone is thinking that he means: you hate me. Its right, that it also can mean: you have me, but nobody says only the words: du hast mich and means: you have me. But together with the Word: gefragt, the meaning changes: du hast mich gefragt: you have asked me. Rammstein loves to play with the language. Speaking off language: Sorry for my english.
yeah, they do have tesla coils but the lightning doesn't go down to the keyboard, that would fry everything, so the bolt to the keyboard is put in in post. and congrats with the mini-pegasus! I truly hope all goes well
..alles erdenklich gute,-vor allem gesundheit,.. für dich,-deiner frau und euer gemeinsames kind ... ...ich wünsche eurer familie in zukunft dass aller beste ... bin ein grosser fan von Dir... ...schöne grüsse aus good old germany🤘🤘...
If you watch the whole concert there is a lot of added effects during the show,tills face changes to a sort of lizard face during one song,and when the pyro comes back to the stage the big explosion is an effect it looks
LOL! Nap time! Let's do some reactions! Happy wife. Happy life. Reminds me when my wife was pregnant with our son 10, almost 11, years ago: I introduced my not so innocent anymore Mormon wife to so much that just got her in the feels! I took my wife to Nightwish while she was 5ish month pregnant and then Sonata Arctica 2 months later and junior was trying to be a track star on her bladder. The venue was standing only (Yes, I made sure she knew and was onboard before I booked and said it would be awesome!) in Anaheim, CA, USA, and my amazing wife was amazing and asking when we can see them again! I paid for literal front row center stage so my amazing wife could get the full experience without anything getting in that--she' is short...actually, travel size for my convenience--and those few last date nights before our son was born, seeing my innocent wife come out of her shy shell and rock out, well, just like when I told her it was ok to go out with her church friends as long as I don't see Mormon girls gone wild on the 10 o'clock news, have fun! Seeing her having a great time while carrying our son was when I got THE confirmation I married the right woman for life. Wife I met her first. Anyway....guess what: after he was born, colicy son would only fall asleep when Nightwish was played--and, yes, it was Imaginarium! LOL! LOVE it! Oh! "I'm sure they've done an interview!" God love your beautiful wife. Give her our love from these internet strangers. You got an awesome one!
The pronunciation of "hasst" and "hast" is identical, despite spelled differently, this is why it is used in the lyrics. Since in spoken language spelling doesn't matter: the sentence structure decides what "du hast mich" in spoken language means. "du hasst mich" without any following verb means "you hate me", BUT "du hast mich [ANY ACCUSATIVE VERB]" means "you have [VERB] me". That is because "hasst" is a VERB, and "hast" is an ADVERB. Adverbs are used in combination with a following verb, so "... hast ... [VERB]" makes "hast" to an adverb, and means "have".

I think it´s funny you mention they sell out MSG with its 20k people. On their German tour they sold out stadiums with 75k people at one show multiple times in a row. Like in Berlin were litte over 130k people at two shows, munich they planned to do two shows but there were so many people that wanted to go there so they decided to do two extra shows so in total only in Munich there were 240k people.
To make this absolutely clear: it doesn't mean anything special that this is the director's cut, there is no other cut of this concert movie physically released.! The only different version was the one that was shown in cinemas prior to the physical release. The cinema version was only 90 minutes long and consisted of only 16 tracks, the physical release has all 22 songs. Visually and artistically there is no difference between the cinema version and the physical release. The director's cut is the complete concert movie released on dvd/bluray, the cinema version was just cut shorter. The tesla coil lightnings are not real, they were added as an effect in post production. Same goes for Till's reptile tongue in another song and an overall color and sound enhancement. Everything else is captured live during two shows and one rehearsal at the 'Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy' (later renamed to Accor Arena) in 2012 with over 20.000 people in attendance at each show. During the rehearsal all close-ups were captured, so that the shows didn't get interrupted by cameras and camera men working directly in front of the band members. This award-winning (UK Music Video Awards 2017 for 'Best Live Concert') concert movie was filmed and directed by famous swedish movie and music video director and also grammy award winner Jonas Åkerlund. 30 cameras were used at each live show, plus another 10 cameras at the rehearsal - which made a total of 70 different camera angles for the concert movie. Åkerlund is best known for directing the music videos to Madonna's 'Ray Of Light' and 'Music', Prodigy's 'Smack My Bitch Up', Jamiroquai's 'Canned Heat' and Metallica's 'Whiskey In The Jar'. He also did a bunch of Rammstein's music videos (Pussy, Ich tu dir weh, Mann gegen Mann, Mein Land) and a lot of commercials for Sony, Ikea, Hugo Boss and Coca-Cola. Åkerlund also directed the movies Spun (2002), Horsemen (2009), Lords Of Chaos (2018) and Polar (2019).

Congratulations on the kiddo on the way!!! ☮☮& 💜💜and blessings to all!! *edit - there were moments when my ex was preggers and exhausted and apologetic and i said "babe... you are constructing a notochord" Oddly (or not)... i listen to certain music throughout the day... when cooking i listen to old R&B or modern like TLC. When REALLY needing to focus I listen to classical because i don't get hung up on lyrics. When cleaning I clean violently to Motorhead or Rammstein. When dancing with a love i love a latin groove.
9:05 in contrast to the pyroshow, I'm pretty shure this lightning effect was added in post-production. If there was something like a Tesla coil, how should it be done that the lightning exactly ends in his fingertips and not in all kind of metal objects on stage?
Great to see you add your wife! Show her Engel from Madison Square Garden

Du hast = You have. Du hast mich = You got me Du hasst = You hate The original lyrics ONLY says "hast" not "hasst". So they are NOT singing about hate.
The bolts are real as well as their explosion above stage, yet the degree of the detonation looks a bit magnified by CGI. And I never saw that lightning at Flake's keyboard ? Probably CGI, too.
As much crazy stuff i saw on stage with these guys i did not see electricity during this song. However, i dont think they even had the coils present when i saw them in chicago september of 2022.😊❤❤
Yeah! You said "yes" to your wife, yes loving them 8n good and bad times, yes for a life together - land so she loves you! But if would have loved you and you have said "no" you would have a huge problem... She would "HATE" you! That's the story. Good luck for/with the baby! Children are the best you can get! Cheers
The confusion with the you have and you hate, comes from a concert where Till sang half of the song in English and sang You hate. The song is buried deep in You tube somewhere.
And mind you, this is in Paris. So the people in the audience is french-speaking. The public going along with a German band is something to behold in the first place. It is not like these nations or languages were friends for any stretch of history. (though we are all in Nato now)
You showed this clip to so many people now. It is time that you understand the meaning of this song : The girly is making the proposal and he says nothing / NO! (you have asked me...)=(Du hast mich gefragt...) And that is why Till sings most of the time "Du hasst mich" = you hate me (because of refusing the proposal). Most of the other lyrics is than the text the pastor is reciting during the ceremony (with some extreme alterations that an american should not understand ;) )
It's basically a wordplay and it's about the duality of marriage. The lyric builds up as follows: Du - Du hast - Du hast mich. This means: You - You have - You have me. Then it continues: Du hast mich gefragt - Du hast mich gefragt und ich habe nichts gesagt. This translates to: You have asked me - You have asked me and I said nothing. Then comes the big question: Willst du bis der tod euch scheidet, treu sein für allen tagen? This means: Will you, till death do you part, promise to be faithful to each other, in all days? So it's a marriage proposal. The the answer comes Jaaaa...... Nein! Yes..... No! The word play is in the first part where the lyric is still building up: "Du hast". As mentioned it means "You have". But when you write the word "hast" with double ss (Du hasst) it gets a totally different meaning: You hate. The thing is that in spoken word you can not hear whether the word has one s or double ss. It sounds the same in both ways. So when he sings: "Du hast mich", it is open for double interpretation: It can either mean "You have me" or "You hate me". This refers to the duality of marriage, which of course can be very loving and comfortable, but also restrictive and irritating. Of course the double meaning disappears when the sentence is completed, because then the context makes it clear what is being said. I hope this clears it up for you.
@DasTeufelswerkthe English version of the song is just blatantly "You Hate". That's what I remembered from getting the CD originally back in 98. So even though the German lyrics probably aren't that, they leaned into it for English. th-cam.com/video/OB4fB7FUhk8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TMrf9sfl8OAp5r9u
In the beginning he sings "Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet, treue sein für alle Tage?" which means what you said, but lateron (11:15) he sings "Willst du bis zum Tod der Scheide, sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen?", which means "will you, til death of the vagina, love her also during hard times (or bad days)?"
So they constantly play with double meaning of words and love/hate aspects of marriage ... so even the wordplay in "du hast" (you have), "du has(s)t mich" (you hate me), "du hast mich gefragt" (you have asked me) is most certainly on purpose.
@DasTeufelswerk Kann ich schon gut verstehen, als ich noch Teenie war, war ich eher auf „hass“ bis heiraten plötzlich ernsthaft eine frage war… nichts desto trotz war die Antwort immer: NEIN
I think the interpretation bit is correct. In the larger context of the song the build up starts You. You Have. You have me. Think of the intentional layering of this. Why is he so adamantly saying "Nein!". The double meaning creates the duality and explains the 'hell no' attitude if you will. And I would stress that on the first word. Du. That is left hanging there on purpose imo. It's broken down for style certainly to create the sound. But this is a created piece. And when you layer like that it has the effect of telling a broad story with the simplicity of a few words employing the structure and the double meaning to do the work of paragraphs. It creates the tension that the bass line, drums and guitars all function to drive very hard. The keyboardist stands out.. he looks differently and in this tune is providing a Whimsical sound that contrasts with the overwhelming hard driven gravel of this industrial metal piece. So you're getting a package of information that informs and countersupports. So let's rewind again.
You. (pause)... why? because it's about her.. not necessarily about them.
You. You have. You have me. - He's there and he's there for it but.
You. You hate. You hate me. - He's putting up with some crap. Tell me you haven't had one of these where they love you for what you do for them and otherwise you're scenery and or baggage.. a neccessary irritation.
You have me questioned - You asked me
..and I did not reply - That's resistance. Remember, he said "you have me" but If he's there fore it and can't bring himself to respond.. more tension cause trouble in paradise.
The narration of the vows is a minister presumably, so we're going third person. The question is laid down and the high soft choral response of female voice comes up "YES"
which he immediately slaps back down harshly "NO!"
Piece it together. That "NO" carried no explanation with it, was forceful, loud and final if not also Triumphant.
I've had German; but, I'm not conversational in it fully. Hasst and Hast are pronounced nearly identical. In normal use, they are identical so context is the only thing that separates the two words in normal usage. The play on words is as intentional as the arrangement and the contrast written in the music supporting the words.
Further.. this mind moving lyric was imported into the original Matrix movie. The play on words philosophically helped undergird the notions at play within the movie. And frankly, it's what made me buy the soundtrack when combined with Rob Zombie's 'clubbed to death' among others.. it's just a really good soundtrack from a really well made and mind stretching movie.
Ultimately the few words uttered in the way they are even repeated amount to less than a book while conveying a book of information in the way they are broken down, layered, etc. It's just a brilliant piece of composition. Knowing nothing about the band for the most part, I don't have anything getting in the way of saying that. It's just brilliant in the same way that Nightwish reinterpreted Phantom of the Opera. I'm not a metal fan. I like some metal; but, these examples show the depth of thought and understanding in presenting and arranging that a lot of people miss with this genre for not stopping to pay attention to it. Hat tip. Cheers!
@DasTeufelswerk Not quite! The play on words is the following: They start out with "Du , du has(s)t, du has(s)t mich ... where "Du hasst mich" (with two "s") appears to be a full sentence already, leading you to think that it means "you hate me" (rather than "you have me") DESPITE the title reading "Du hast" with just one "s". Then they extend and complete the actual sentence to read "du hast mich gefragt" (you (have) asked me) "... und ich hab' nichts gesagt." (and I responded nothing). ANd only then comes the section with the wedding vow where the choir (synth) answers "jaaaaaaaaa" (yes) before the band yells the other response "Nein!" (No!). It's not two interpretations but just playing on the pretty much identical sounds of "du hast" and "du hasst" and keeping the listeners minds swithching between the two understandings throughout the song. 😉
The very special thing about this concert is that it took place in the herat of france, in Paris, and the whole crowd is singing the german lyrics... that ist something very special fpr people in france and in germany, heart warming moment
After 20+ years of wanting to see them live, I saw Rammstein in Philadelphia last year and it was a STUNNING experience. I've been a concert-goer for 40 years and it was EASILY one of the best shows I've ever seen. If & when Rammstein comes back to America, I WILL be there....!!
On my short list of bands/artists to see & have been going to concerts most of my life too.
I’m French and l was in this concert ( lucky me). You asked if the lightning was real? No, it’s not, but all the others stuffs was real, incredible… 😎🤘
German here. First of all, all the best to you and your wife +1.
Second: those reactions to Rammstein are really nice, I've found myself in a real rabbit hole watching all of them.
To clear things up: the lightning bolts are 100% edited in post production. There's another song from this concert movie, where Till has an edited lizard tongue for example. I've seen Rammstein about 7 times, the pyro is real, the electricity is not.
Please keep doing this stuff, it's cool to see you guys open your musical horizon to all the heavier stuff.
Right. Imagine all the electricity coming down onto your sensitive recording and musical instruments. Lol.
This. The electricity is created as a post-concert effect. Everything else however is real, f'ing real fire.
You can feel it throughout the concert hall. It's just friggin insane how hot it gets.
That's also why there is the so-called Row Zero right at the front of the dividers, followed by the fire zone (roughly 15 rows back), where it gets REALLY hot.
I was at the concert on July 31 and the lightning is definitely special effects added in post-production. On the other hand, from the pyrotechnics beat the heat like from a campfire only that 20-30 meters, no wonder they are smeared with fireproof gel.
As usual, Rammstein songs have many interpretations and only Rammstein knows the true meaning behind it, but they never tell and let people fly with their fantasy. One general idea about this song is that yes, it is about wedding vows, he literally sings at some point "will you have me in better and worse, till death us parts" and so on and female voices sing at the back "Ja!" which means yes, but this is cut by male voices which say resolute "Nein!" or no. If you watch the video, it adds some more context too. I would assume - and many do as well - that it's about marriage, but not letting someone to simply take you over, take your world over and force you to change, change what and who you are. In the video you can see how man and woman are together and seems like woman is sending the man over to his friends to, most likely, cancel his relationship with them because he's now married, wife feels that they're not good enough company for him, probably because she doesn't like them, not because they're actually bad influence and so on. So basically, it's a song about staying true to who you are and finding someone who respects that and doesn't want to change you, let's you be who you are. Goes both ways, of course.
Oh and yes, as cool as it would have been, the lightning in this video is post production. Rammstein hasn't done that much with lightning because mainly, it's a damn hard thing to control. But fire - fire is real, there's always fire and lots of it, as much as safety rules allow. And in places where safety rules are less limiting, the fire can be really crazy. You can see some concerts in Russia where safety is point no. 99 on the list, there are flames the size of a multi-story building, not only shooting up, but also shooting horizontally over the people. And yes, it is safe, despite all of the fire blasting out everywhere, Rammstein pays close attention to safety, for theirs and that of their fans.
I roadied for Rammstein when they toured the UK and I never saw any lightning bolts. If it was done live I would have seen it. Absolutely done in post.
@@KurtFrederiksen Take a look at Styro pyro
@@KurtFrederiksen Yes I'm very aware of the risks. I worked as a lighting tech for a few years before moving into another area of the music industry. Even if this was actually possible to achieve in a practical way, it would be impossible to do from a health and safety/risk assessment type way.
@@KurtFrederiksen I believe so, although it was not my intention to come across as argumentative. I apologise for that. I guess it's just a comment section default to view everything as aggressive. However, I very much appreciated the knowledge you have on this subject and it just proves that for me, every day should be a learning day. I hope you have a very happy new year.
The blood is from one of the previous songs: Mein Teil :)
If you don't know that one watch "Mein Teil" live from 2013 - but read the background story beforehand.
yes:no - these are the translated lyrics:
Till: Will you be faithful till death do you part. Be faithful to her for all your days? Womans' voice: Yes Till: No
😂😂😂❤yes thats Till Lindemann just the way we love him👍🏻🤘🏼💪🏻❤😅
Great ❤ love your rammstein reactions so much.
Greetings from germany to you and your wife
Your wife is beautiful. Great reaction again. So funny you are spreading the Rammstein love. I understand her nostalgia vibes with this song!
Yeahhhhh !!!! Hahaha welcome your wife to our Rammstein family! And best wishes to you guys 🎉🎉 we wait for the baby ❤❤maybe it’s good to show your wife “engel” msg 😊 Tesla are real ☺️☺️☺️
Prayers for the pregnancy and blessings to you both!!!
Woo-hoo! Great to see your wife. I have no idea if it’s her first time on the channel as I only watch your reaction videos. I have had seen you speak very emotionally about wanting another child hopefully a son.
Congrats and best of luck with her pregnancy and your new child!!
Thanks for the awesome video.
Clearly you don't lol 😆 she's been on for days now.
One of the guitarists (I think it was Richard) said he likes standing directly under the fireworks as he likes the "Tingle". As an ex-welder, I know exactly what he means.
I think it's Paul, because he's also a little fire devil.
this is a concert! this is an audience! CONGRATULATIONS to both of you! or should I say all three?.. 😊
I've been to a Rammstein concert before, and yeah 100% what you see here you'll see it in real time during concert! They're out of mind😂
Love this.Good to see y'all together. Thanks for the vid.
What a beautiful wife and congrats and best wishes for the future family. ❤❤❤
Congrats and many blessings on the baby…Great reaction, Mrs. Black Pegasus should definitely be back for more reactions. Merry Christmas and a blessed Happy New Year
The real translation of DU HAST is "you have". But we also have DU HASST in German, which means "you hate" and is pronounced exactly the same way. Thus, Rammstein voluntarily does a play on words. In the beginning you don´t have a clue if it is one or the other. Only when he sings on, you dig that it is "you have". .................... and please call them RUM-SHTINE like in SUN-SHINE 🙂
Love this song and to see them live, on my bucket list.
Your wife is beautiful. Congrats to you both on your pending bundle of joy!
Hi Guys, my Name is Stephan. I’m from Hamburg in Germany. I love watching your reaction videos.
I’m trying to explain it to you from my point of view.
The text for "Du Hast" by Rammstein is from the point of view of an ex-lover who looks back on the relationship and asks the others if he would still be so loyal and devoted to his partner if they were still together. The chorus asks the question: "Will you stay with me until death separates us; will you remain faithful to me all the days of our lives?" The "yes no" essentially says that the answer is "no", which indicates that the partner is not as loyal and faithful as he once claimed. The song is a reflection on relationships that ultimately cannot withstand, and the feeling of disappointment in love that arises from this realization.
Many Greetings from Germany
✌️
Some of my interpretations of Du Hast
1. proposing to a partner who declines because they dont feel the same way
2. a friend asking for help and you say no (flip is foe asking for help and you say yes)
3. a friend wanting to do something bad and you say yes (flip is foe asking for help and you say no)
4. loyalty to a team, group, country ect.. however diffult a situation is but saying you dont agree with something and sticking with it.
5. faith in something that doesn't deliver your version of interpretation or expectation
6. internal personal conflict with yourself with things like bad habits ect.. also the flip woud be doing good things with bad intentions
Congrats ! You will be an awesome mom and dad !
Ive been to a rammestein concert, they put on an insane production! One of the best shows out there
Saw them live at The Dome in South Africa, and yes, their shows are insane! But to experience it is even wilder!!!
i love it too :) thank you for this reaction. congratulation you on your pregnancy 🤗 greetings from germany
I was there in Paris Arena concert & The bolts were there with a Faradey like stuff and the fireworks were live. AMAZING!!!!!
Was lucky enough to see them down here in Cape Town South Africa, and yes, although the venue was much smaller they recreated every effect in this video live! Absolutely epic!
I love it. This is what Internet is for. You are great guys and I enjoy your channel a lot. Keep it up
Happy to see your wife joining in our Rammstein family❤❤😊
Great reaction,really enjoyed your wife's reaction on the ending pyro... RAMMSTEIN doesn't always tour here sadly but if they ever come near you don't hesitate to go...by near I mean a 12-24 hour drive...best concert of my life!!
"Du hast" and "Du hasst" sounds identical. If you just hear it, the context make the difference. And here again 😉 my short explanation of the lyrics:
The first three words are "Du hast mich" (you have me) which at that moment doesn't make any sense in German. But it sounds (intentionally) the same as "Du hasst mich" (you hate me). Later in the song, the first three words are extended to a full sentence: "Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt." (You asked me and I did not answer.) And then, to show what he was asked, the chorus is a wedding vow: "Willst Du bis der Tod euch scheidet treu ihr sein für alle Tage?" (Do you want to be faithful to her for all days until death do us part?) This is answered first by a kind of female voice "Ja" (yes) and afterwards by Till's harsh voice "Nein!" (No!). These - plus a slightly obscene word play on the wedding vow, that I will not explain here - are the whole lyrics (repeated a few times).
As mentioned in the "making of" of that song it's about the connection within the band. They never had a line-up change since their start in 1994. The lead gitarrist once said, the band is like a marriage without sex.
We are so proud of our boys❤German here. This year I have the luck, to see 3 concerts 🤘
Congratulations on the baby. Life will never be the same for many different reasons.
Great reaction with the Mrs.. love that you get many into Rammstein experiences .. but surprised you still have yet to react to some of the earlier Rammstein work like "Du riechst so gut", "Ich Will", "Rammstein", "Seeman", "Mein herz brent". Hope you get round to exploring this also 🫡
Again congrats to the both of you 🫶🏼
Congrats on the pregnancy
Nothing beats the Rammstein Volkerball concert, which I believe is once again available on TH-cam. I stumbled across it years ago and bought the DVD and CD a few days later.
When Rammstein Played at The Principality Stadium here in Cardiff, Wales.
Locals in Riverside, Grangetown thought the Stdium was on fire, and our local Fire and Police were called out
The pyrotechnics are freaking insane at the concerts 🙌 seeing them live is a must! I just saw them live here in Berlin last summer ❤️ oh please have her react to Engel live
Hi! I just subscribed to your channel here.... I'm enjoying the reactions. I was fortunate enough to see Rammstein september 2022 at Los Angeles Coliseum with my daughter!! We'd had an absolute blast (almost literally) but I kept wondering why they were performing at such a large outdoor stadium until we entered. The stage was 120 ft tall by 200 ft wide..... the pyrotechnic show went pretty much across the sky in the entire stadium. You'd probably enjoy googling some images of that tour as they are spectacular. Not to mention the music and performance being pretty flawless.
The lightning is real and so is everything else: the concerts are amazing
I saw Rammstein the first time 1996 at the Harley Davidson Party from Born to be Wild MC Berlin
Ich habe sie auch 96 das erstmal gesehen.
About the lightning:
In this one it was edited in post concert.
But they have done it live on at least one other occasion.
Hello Pegasus’ wife! Really hope you go down the Rammstein rabbit hole with your hubby. You won’t be the same again! They are pure joy and unmatched! 🤘🤘
I saw them at Soldier Field in Chicago in September of 2022, it was amazing
And yeah...they are insane live!!!
He's not bleeding, it's soluble coffee and water. The keyboard player has talked about it in his book because the caffeine was absorbed through the skin and he couldn't sleep (he tried decaf but it didn't work for some reason).
"Du hast mich" = "you have me". "Du hasst mich" = "you hate me". "Du hast mich gefragt" = "you have asked me".
Congrats on the baby. just found your channel and really enjoyed your quality and content.
All the best for mother and child, merry Christmas!
You're such a beautiful couple! And your reactions to your wife's reaction are awesome. 😅😍
I was at that specific show, and there was no lightning. It's after effects.
I've been to rammstein concert last year in Groningen Netherlands. And the fireworks is real. The lightning is not.
Great reaction you should definitely do more reactions with your beautiful wife. All the very best with the baby🇬🇧
The sparkling light was definitly added after the show, i was there, i was in the crowd ^^ and i dont think it was a good idea to add that because now people dont know if the fire or the light are postprod or the real show... and there shows are good enough not to add some useless stuff like sparklings... (sorry for my english, i'm french)
More wifey and Rammstein, please! 😍"Engel", Madison Square Garden?
Well damn....compliments on your wife's beauty.
I am happy for you both, congratulations for your family's new addition!
Cheers from a Canadian Metal Head.
I love your channel!
Many blessings for you and your family.
😊
Mein Hertz Brennt Piano Version please?
She is this dangerous.
Rammstein: YES
The electricity was added in post production of the concert's DVD. The pyrotechnics are very live. The lead singer is a licensed advanced pyrotechnician.
I like how my man is getting deeper in the rabbit hole and explains all those facts about the band to people 😂
Aaaand your wife is a Little Angel. She is Cute and naturally. Love her 🐻❄
I am german. When he only sings the words: du hast mich, everyone is thinking that he means: you hate me. Its right, that it also can mean: you have me, but nobody says only the words: du hast mich and means: you have me. But together with the Word: gefragt, the meaning changes: du hast mich gefragt: you have asked me. Rammstein loves to play with the language. Speaking off language: Sorry for my english.
Prayers for you, your wife and your baby
They're the 1st german group whom make french people AND english ones sing in Deutch. Pretty amazing, ain't it?
yeah, they do have tesla coils but the lightning doesn't go down to the keyboard, that would fry everything, so the bolt to the keyboard is put in in post. and congrats with the mini-pegasus! I truly hope all goes well
..alles erdenklich gute,-vor allem gesundheit,.. für dich,-deiner frau und euer gemeinsames kind ...
...ich wünsche eurer familie in zukunft dass aller beste ...
bin ein grosser fan von Dir...
...schöne grüsse aus good old germany🤘🤘...
+++++Respekt+++++✌️✌️✌️✌️👍🤙👌💪🤝🙏 wünsche ich auch
If you watch the whole concert there is a lot of added effects during the show,tills face changes to a sort of lizard face during one song,and when the pyro comes back to the stage the big explosion is an effect it looks
LOL! Nap time! Let's do some reactions! Happy wife. Happy life. Reminds me when my wife was pregnant with our son 10, almost 11, years ago: I introduced my not so innocent anymore Mormon wife to so much that just got her in the feels! I took my wife to Nightwish while she was 5ish month pregnant and then Sonata Arctica 2 months later and junior was trying to be a track star on her bladder. The venue was standing only (Yes, I made sure she knew and was onboard before I booked and said it would be awesome!) in Anaheim, CA, USA, and my amazing wife was amazing and asking when we can see them again! I paid for literal front row center stage so my amazing wife could get the full experience without anything getting in that--she' is short...actually, travel size for my convenience--and those few last date nights before our son was born, seeing my innocent wife come out of her shy shell and rock out, well, just like when I told her it was ok to go out with her church friends as long as I don't see Mormon girls gone wild on the 10 o'clock news, have fun! Seeing her having a great time while carrying our son was when I got THE confirmation I married the right woman for life. Wife I met her first. Anyway....guess what: after he was born, colicy son would only fall asleep when Nightwish was played--and, yes, it was Imaginarium! LOL! LOVE it!
Oh! "I'm sure they've done an interview!" God love your beautiful wife. Give her our love from these internet strangers. You got an awesome one!
Congratulations to both of you 🎉
The pronunciation of "hasst" and "hast" is identical, despite spelled differently, this is why it is used in the lyrics.
Since in spoken language spelling doesn't matter: the sentence structure decides what "du hast mich" in spoken language means.
"du hasst mich" without any following verb means "you hate me", BUT "du hast mich [ANY ACCUSATIVE VERB]" means "you have [VERB] me".
That is because "hasst" is a VERB, and "hast" is an ADVERB. Adverbs are used in combination with a following verb, so "... hast ... [VERB]" makes "hast" to an adverb, and means "have".

Wife half asleep bobbing her head to the music. The power of Rammstein.
VERY glad for you two!
I think it´s funny you mention they sell out MSG with its 20k people. On their German tour they sold out stadiums with 75k people at one show multiple times in a row. Like in Berlin were litte over 130k people at two shows, munich they planned to do two shows but there were so many people that wanted to go there so they decided to do two extra shows so in total only in Munich there were 240k people.
Yep, they use tesla coil. I'm french and i was at this concert at Paris. Epic🤘
To make this absolutely clear: it doesn't mean anything special that this is the director's cut, there is no other cut of this concert movie physically released.! The only different version was the one that was shown in cinemas prior to the physical release. The cinema version was only 90 minutes long and consisted of only 16 tracks, the physical release has all 22 songs. Visually and artistically there is no difference between the cinema version and the physical release. The director's cut is the complete concert movie released on dvd/bluray, the cinema version was just cut shorter.
The tesla coil lightnings are not real, they were added as an effect in post production. Same goes for Till's reptile tongue in another song and an overall color and sound enhancement. Everything else is captured live during two shows and one rehearsal at the 'Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy' (later renamed to Accor Arena) in 2012 with over 20.000 people in attendance at each show. During the rehearsal all close-ups were captured, so that the shows didn't get interrupted by cameras and camera men working directly in front of the band members.
This award-winning (UK Music Video Awards 2017 for 'Best Live Concert') concert movie was filmed and directed by famous swedish movie and music video director and also grammy award winner Jonas Åkerlund. 30 cameras were used at each live show, plus another 10 cameras at the rehearsal - which made a total of 70 different camera angles for the concert movie.
Åkerlund is best known for directing the music videos to Madonna's 'Ray Of Light' and 'Music', Prodigy's 'Smack My Bitch Up', Jamiroquai's 'Canned Heat' and Metallica's 'Whiskey In The Jar'. He also did a bunch of Rammstein's music videos (Pussy, Ich tu dir weh, Mann gegen Mann, Mein Land) and a lot of commercials for Sony, Ikea, Hugo Boss and Coca-Cola. Åkerlund also directed the movies Spun (2002), Horsemen (2009), Lords Of Chaos (2018) and Polar (2019).

Greetings from germany.! ♥
Congratulations on the kiddo on the way!!! ☮☮& 💜💜and blessings to all!! *edit - there were moments when my ex was preggers and exhausted and apologetic and i said "babe... you are constructing a notochord"
Oddly (or not)... i listen to certain music throughout the day... when cooking i listen to old R&B or modern like TLC. When REALLY needing to focus I listen to classical because i don't get hung up on lyrics. When cleaning I clean violently to Motorhead or Rammstein. When dancing with a love i love a latin groove.
9:05 in contrast to the pyroshow, I'm pretty shure this lightning effect was added in post-production. If there was something like a Tesla coil, how should it be done that the lightning exactly ends in his fingertips and not in all kind of metal objects on stage?
Congrats on the kiddo!! 🥰
Thank you very much Captain Black America for the another great reaction. You deserve huge credit.
Awesome Duo reaction, love it, wish my wife could appreciate my musical taste lol 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍
Great to see you add your wife! Show her Engel from Madison Square Garden
Du hast = You have.
Du hast mich = You got me
Du hasst = You hate
The original lyrics ONLY says "hast" not "hasst".
So they are NOT singing about hate.
The bolts are real as well as their explosion above stage, yet the degree of the detonation looks a bit magnified by CGI. And I never saw that lightning at Flake's keyboard ? Probably CGI, too.
The concert in Madison Square Garden was sold out in just 30 minutes!
You and your wife are so cute. I didn’t see any electricity come from the keyboard
Starting to raise the kid Properly alreadyalready.... get em rocking!
I need one of those treadmills that keyboard player is on. Put that on my standing PC. Gaming + Workout.
Going to see them next year here in the Nederland 🇳🇱 I am going to be in the fuerezone I am hyped for it
As much crazy stuff i saw on stage with these guys i did not see electricity during this song. However, i dont think they even had the coils present when i saw them in chicago september of 2022.😊❤❤
God bless that little child! Lots of great midwives in COS. BLOOD NEST BLESSINGS (womb).
Not gonna lie, Flake inspired me to buy a ridiculous shiny suit for when I play Rammstein songs.
In this video, these are effects, but there were some concerts who they did something with tesla coils.
First question with every reaction video. Is that a treadmill?
Flake gets 'em every time lol
Yeah! You said "yes" to your wife, yes loving them 8n good and bad times, yes for a life together - land so she loves you! But if would have loved you and you have said "no" you would have a huge problem... She would "HATE" you! That's the story. Good luck for/with the baby! Children are the best you can get! Cheers
The confusion with the you have and you hate, comes from a concert where Till sang half of the song in English and sang You hate. The song is buried deep in You tube somewhere.
And mind you, this is in Paris. So the people in the audience is french-speaking. The public going along with a German band is something to behold in the first place. It is not like these nations or languages were friends for any stretch of history. (though we are all in Nato now)
When I saw them years ago there were no lightning bolts coming down to the keyboard ✌️✌️
You showed this clip to so many people now. It is time that you understand the meaning of this song :
The girly is making the proposal and he says nothing / NO! (you have asked me...)=(Du hast mich gefragt...)
And that is why Till sings most of the time "Du hasst mich" = you hate me (because of refusing the proposal).
Most of the other lyrics is than the text the pastor is reciting during the ceremony (with some extreme alterations that an american should not understand ;) )
