DU HAST REACTION COMING SOON!🇩🇪
Chill out with the adds lad
Rammstein you either love or hate in germany, there is no in between. Personally, i don't like the music, beeing really far from metal, but: best video and superb lyrics! Our "mainstream media" here in germany were arguing about, if this is a nazi video or not. How fucked up are we now in germany? It is about what has been, we are not proud of, and the longing for a day, we could be proud again. Or never again. Our own propaganda machine nowadays tells us, there is nothing to be proud of, we should be ashamed our whole life. And our "Bundestagas-Vize-Präsidentin", a person who usually keeps our debates in parliament under control and regulates, said about some past soccer world cup, i think it was a past one, we should go easy on the german flags, meaning, we should use them much less and with care. Wtf? Some politician is ashamed of her own country, obviously! We are now so messed up here in germany, don't know, what the press in other countries is telling you about us. I just could shoot myself....Love Ireland, been there 3 times! Nice reacting video from you! ;-)
it is rammsteins brief summary of german history since we beat the crap out of the romans and how it basically is a love hate relation for the band, and they fucking nailed it imho, and the band is considered Neue Deutsche Härte
they have been referring to themselves as a "dance metal genre" for more than a decade. So yeah, you got that part right
well there are several things to add here:
ramstein is named after the german town of ramstein, where the largest us overseas base in the word is situated and the site of one of the largest air show tragedies that ever happened. (a jet crashed into the viewers)
they are categorised as "neue deutsche härte" wich translates into new german hardness
the depicted scenes in the video show several negative highpoints of german history.
at first the battle of the teutoburg forest, wich is glorified by nationalists as the birth of german identity
then the class divide in medival times where the aristocracy and clergy feasted upon the areas of future germany, but the peasentry starved
30 years war etc following that
next the war of communism vs fascism in the german population from 1900 onwards, (spoiler fascism wins)
then the 3rd reich and the holocaust
after that you got the divided germany, where you have the german democratic repuplic party officals partying while the population cant get enough toiletpaper and on the other side in the federal republic of germany you see the so called german autum and the communist terror group of the red army faction.
the text and video try to tell the viewer why nationalism and the idea of german surperiority or uniqueness is poison and why you shouldnt blindly love your nation.
the position of the text is, if you know and understand german history on an ethical and intelligent level you cant love germany, because you know where that leads and had led, what you would try to love and what associactions would come with that.
dont be a patriot or nationalist, be a realist and humanist
A big part of the German history in one video.
The black woman as Germania (the personification of the German nation). It isn't and was never a Goddess or a Queen.
I have an idea about the glass coffin: It is Little Snow White from the Grimm-fairytales....and from their own video "Sonne". Only with black skin and in space.
The battle of the Teutoburg forrest against the Romans (and Rammstein as Roman soldiers and Germans alike).
That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history.
The hanged bodies in the trees were the beaten Roman soldiers, who were gruesome sacrificed to the Germanic gods...and were partly nailed to the trees.
The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of Emperor Germanicus. Therefore we see here the arrival of the Roman troops of Germanicus and they are watching their dead comrades hanging in the trees or getting their heads chopped off (for nailing them to the trees).
In reality the Romans under Germanicus found only the bones of the Varus army in the various ways they were slaughtered, sacrificed and displayed at the trees. Slaves were liberated even decades after the battle.
The V2 rocket (first manmade object in space) as technical triumph of the German spirit...and at the same time the killing of the concentration camp prisoners in the bunker factories below the mountains during the production of that rocket.
This scene in the video could be a representation of a very specific concentration camp. It was "Mittelbau-Dora" below the Kohnstein mountain.
A mixture between a big, huge bunker factory for V1 and V2 rockets and a concentration camp.
The concentration camp inmates had several different markings for different kinds of convicts and their "crimes" sown to their chests, like it was in reality, too. A pink triangle for homosexuals, the star of David for Jews and two of them were marked with the double-triangles for Jehovas Whitnesses.
The book burnings of the Nazis and the burning of the witches of the church. In the same scene with the book burning there is EVEN MORE going on. The cooperation of the church with the Nazis, when the priest with the cross embraces the Nazi SA-man.
The communist GDR (it was Karl Marx in the background of the scene with the tank). The scene with the sign with the Hammer and a pair of compasses in a circle of wheat is the sign of the GDR (DDR). The socialst German state in the east that existed before the German reunification.
The leftwing terrorism of the 1970's in the scene with the pumpgun and Germania taken hostage.
The Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster (the burning Zeppelin in the background) and more and even more.
My interpretation of the red scanner-like beams: There are two different kinds of beams. The massive straight red light beam that goes up into the heavens AND there were those smaller, thinner "scanner" beams.
Aliens (or humans from the future) are scanning the whole German history. Like some real scientists are scanning and excarvating ancient Mexican or Egyptian statues, for example.
The massive red light beam is the red ribbon of time that ties together all the historical events.
PS: As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany.
PPS: They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages.
PPPS: The short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too.
PPPPS: The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII.
PPPPPS: My interpretation of the glass coffin is Little Snow White in space, like I wrote before.
PPPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet.
The pumpgun-scene and the hostage scene was from the 1970's, when Germany suffered under leftwing terrorism.
Finally:
The scenes I'm now talking about are pretty dark & low light. The WWII submarine in the submarine bunker during the astronauts are walking by with the glass coffin.
I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because:
a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless
b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold
c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE 😄
megatwingo Thank you for a comment like this.
Wow, that's a great summary
Oh boy, let me tell ya, this Video caused alot of uproar here in Germany, because of the Hanging Scene and well...because of VERY Obvious Reasons...
A thought about choosing a black woman as germania:
Since the music video and the song is all aboht history and germanys roots n stuff, it could be a hint to the fact that humanity itself originally developed in africa and spread from there
Danke für die sehr ausführliche Antwort. 👍🏻
Rammstein are basically a genre into of themselves
Isn't it just knee deep into Industrial with a Metal and Hardrock leaning?
@@mormacil yep it is. there are many other german bands that take a similar approach to music, wich are usually categorised as being part of the Neue deutsche Härte Movement
(New German Hardness if translated literraly). Other Bands would be Eisbrecher, Oomph, Megaherz or Stahlmann.
In Germany we call it "neue deutsche Härte"
More industrial trance it's what they were technically known back in 95 on there first album and there 2nd album but Mutter they went a different route in genre's
They totally are. They are unlike anything else. Part of the magic of Rammstein
This is Rammstein's first single after a 9 or 10 year long hiatus
Actually they released Mein Land in 2011, but it doesn't belong to any album, just Raritäten
There was “Mein Herz Brennt” by the end of 2012. I know that it was not a new song by itself but it got a new version. Also there was a new song “Gib Mir Deine Augen“ included.
@@agatach87 yeah that's right
Ls Metalhead
You are my maggot friend🤟❤️🖤 Love Slipknot
and Ausländer
The slow piano part is a call back to their song "Sonne"
Yes, and you can find this version in the album Klavier, with other covers.
Mathieu Villegas I was looking for that when I first watched this music video! Cheers mate finally found it
Ajay Nobody i loved that so much
Rammstein's song "sonne" had an absolutely amazing official video also...It's like a grown up version of snow white and the 7 dwarfs
stephanie reeves sounds interesting 👀😂
It's amazeballs.
One of their most accessible but still awesome videos. The song was written as a tribute to two brothers who are boxers for a competition to compose their music to play at fights. The video takes the theme of adoration and turns it in a darker, more interesting direction.
Sonne is amazing, and should definitely be on your "to do" list.
@@DrewFortune97 Oh, it is. Of course it is Snow White and the 6 dwarves though, because there are only 6 band members.
Welcome to a Rammstein. You can never leave.
Lol 😂
Most of Rammstein's music falls into the 'Industrial Metal' subgenre, which often has elements of electro in it ;-)
they kinda *grew* their own genre "Neue Deutsche Härte" ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neue_Deutsche_H%C3%A4rte )
@@notlivingyet Yes, Rammstein are part of the Neue Deutsche Härte genre, but they did not create it-OOMPH! are the founders/creators of the Neue Deutsche Härte genre. Rammstein simply popularized the genre and have a larger fanbase in the U.S.-they're not that famous or well-thought-of in their home country. (Rammstein have even admitted in interviews they were inspired/influenced by OOMPH!.)
@@brambleshadow5851 I agree with almost everything you just said except for Rammstein not being popular in Germany. Every single one of their concerts is sold out in minutes.
@@janm3781 yes, to get a ticket is very hard and you have to be quick
You have to be German to truly understand this song.. Basically they sing about the dilemma most Germans are experiencing today of being proud to be German, in spite of its very violent history and the Nazi era, the Communist DDR (Eastern Germany), the crusades ect ect. "Deine Liebe ist Fluch und Segen" translates into "Your love is a blessing and a curse". "Deutschland, mein Herz in Flammen, (Ich) will dich lieben und verdammen. dein Atem so kalt, so jung und doch so alt" Translates into " Germany my heart on fire, (I) want to love and curse you. Your breath so cold, so young and still so old".
When you go out into the world today as a German, the first thing ppl in other countries think about is what went down 80 years ago and as a German you feel ashamed and that your "not allowed" to love your country cause of what happened which is bullshit.. Every country has a dark chapter in its history.. France, Britain, America, Spain, Italy.. damn, even the Netherlands and Belgium and I could go on and on.. We should ALL be allowed to love where we come from despite of the facts of what happed decades ago..
I myself have experienced being called a "Kraut" and a "Jerry" while spending time in London and that was in 2012..
I'm from Poland and I understand 3/4 of it
"Deutschland, meine Liebe
Kann ich dir nicht geben." Basically says they cant be proud/love Germany. There is no "we should be allowed to love where we come from"
@@xzarx exactly, they literally say they don't want to love germany.
Du hast es genau erfasst 👍
Hell. Even georgia has dark part in history... stalin, I am looking at you!
Rammstein is my favorite band of all time.
I hear Rammstein since i was 1 or 2 years old, ive shoutet to my dad: dad i want to hear Asche, which means the Song Asche zu Asche from their First album
@@dominikstute5810 if u was 1 or 2..u cant remember..
Same here
There is something seriously wrong with people who just randomly pause songs while listening to it for the first time.
No it's not when it comes to reactions. That's the way to do it. Not just sitting there nodding your head for five minutes. If you got something to say, say it at the point where it happens in the song.
bjhellstream I agree with the first comment, pausing in the middle is like biting a piece of sushi. You don’t get the whole composition, just the parts that form it. Even for the sake of a reaction video, watching it whole in the first place and than watching it again with pausing would surely give a much more credible experience, just how the artist wished it to be seen and heard.
Well that’s true if you have a memory of a fish so that you cannot remember what was playing 5 seconds ago, or you don’t have arms to rewind it 5 seconds. Seriously, stop telling people how they should do what they want to do. Go watch Lost in Vegas channel, guys gonna tell you go fuck yourself in a polite way, ‘cause that’s how they want to make these reactions and that’s how they like it most. To tell actual reaction and not just fucking sit there for 4-10 minutes and then try to remember everything you were thinking about. Your opinion can change throughout the song. What the point of that part of video then at all? I don’t wanna watch a guy move to the music for 6 minutes. I want to hear things, you know. Stop telling people how they should do stuff, go find people you like and watch them.
@@BORN753 Well, while I am telling people what to do I might as well tell you to start using paragraphs.
People are free to react how they want, and I am free to have my opinions on that.
It's too often that I am waiting for a specific part of a reaction that is then suddenly undermined or even unnoticed because of random pauses.
People do have shitty 5 second memories, if you are pausing and commenting then your brain is busy with those actions, and not with the actual experience. But even if that weren't the case, remembering what something is like is not the same as experiencing it. a LOT of work goes into the proper flow/pacing of songs and movies, the idea that simply interrupting that flow does not have an impact on experience is laughable quite honestly.
PAUL SORYU [Music] Geez, dude, chill. We were starting to have a nice discussion here and than you come barging in with your angry comment. Go for a walk, watch a nice movie, whatever, just chill, it’s just a TH-cam comment section.
"It's like Metallica but better"
Welcome to Rammstein...
oof
Habla del riff de master of puppets puede ser?
meh, Metallica has albums that have back to back BANGERS, every rammstein album has its boring song, Laichzeit, Spiel mit mir, Ich will, Ohne dich, Stirb nicht vor mir, Frühling in Paris, Ausländer.
@@Sarah-rm4nm you've provided nothing relevant to this discussion and have just mockingly repeated what i said.
Ethan Peterson seriously, every song is a banger
"I feel like that needs to be louder"
Yes, honey, it's Rammstein. Turn it as loud as your ears can handle. ♡
It's such a bummer that you cannot understand the utterly genius lyrics that are both poetically and lyrically stunning.
Hier ist der deutsche Kommentar den du suchst (hi) 🤣

My mother and father came to New York from Ireland before I was born. I’m proud to be Irish and proud to be a RAMMSTEIN fan . Thank you for this reaction. Rammstein deserves to be the biggest band on the planet. Thank you for the love you’ve shown my favorite band.
From Killarney, BTW
Being from Belgium and speaking Dutch which isnt German but its kinda similar, makes the video so epic being able to understand some of the words and lyrics, giving the song so much more depth, its amazing
Yup I'm German and i Understand most of the Dutch language
Lol I’m dutch and it’s funny how I have German language in school. And you can understand many things of the song. My opinion is German language sounds more raw and pure in songs. That it’s best to use in this kind of music. This is why I love Rammstein because of their videos and statements and stories behind the videos. It’s just amazing
Yes! I’m British but my mum is half German and I was bilingual when I was little. I have been relearning German on Duolingo for the past ten months and being able to understand parts of the lyrics is amazing.
Normy: heavy metal
Me, an intellectual: industrial metal
no, its not! its "Neue deutsche Härte" ("New german hardness")
@@sewo7294 Which is industrial metal
german industrial
@@vaporwavedog industrial neue deutshe harte 🤣
@@sewo7294 Ja!!!
As a german I really appreciate that you went in that masterpiece. The press in german was against that music video and stuff. Theres very much detail in the scenes and thanks that you tried to discover and understand that video. Im your new subscriber. (Sorry for bad english)
It is a great song. And Germans has to become a bit more relaxed with songs like this. The problems of lots of germans is, they do not understand the ironic message behind the song. I love it, i live in Germany, i am half turkish half german.
It's just typical Rammstein. It's right in the face of all the bullshit journalists and all the people who are enraged about everything. The video includes stuff you "don't do" in Germany. They are putting a mirror in front of all of these people. I like them a lot for doing this because these people make me so angry every time they are enranged about some bullshit again...
Rammstein? Clicked on instantly
You know its a good song and video production when other than maybe a couple words, you dont know what they are saying but still get the message of the song. I wouldnt even call it just a song, its a masterwork composition.
Rammstein love wordplay and double meanings, so this song is both a celebration and condemnation of Germany and its history.
If this is your first Rammstein song you should really try out another song from. i would recoment Feuer Frei or Amerika
Should definitely try Amerika!
Feuer frei ist much better
America also has this deep meaning - read between the lines
Or maybe chronological order? Like starting with Wollt Ihr Das Bett in Flamen Sehen :-)
Sonne !
Rammstein is one of the absolute best bands of all time. This video is one of the best produced of all time. The elements covered and the production are amazing
The piano piece at the end is a piano arrangement of their song "sonne"' which you most def should check out
Nobody ever:
Drew Fortune: Ohh Rammstein is in German ?
but still Awseoeme Video, very interseting
Glad to see that it works, I've seen a few channels where it didn't work! Great reaction as always! 😄
"The mystery booxxx" 😂
In Germany the genre of Rammstein is called „New German Hardness“. It‘s because of the unique kind of singing and the rhythm guitars
Just a short explanation: the lasers represent the red line through german history, connecting the various events.
People from the future are scanning via lasers through the German history
My personal translation for the song as a German:
You (you have, you have, you have, you have)
Have cried a lot (cried, cried, cried, cried)
Separated in Mind (Separated, Separated, Separated, Separated) United in heart (united, united, united, united)
We (we are, we are, we are, we are) have been together for a long time (you are, you are, you are, you are)
Your breath is cold (so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold)
The Heart on fire (so hot, so hot, so hot, so hot)
You (you can, you can, you can, you can)
I (I know, I know, I know, I know)
We (we are, we are, we are, we are) You (you stay, you stay, you stay, you stay)
Germany, my heart on fire
Want to love and condemn you Germany, your breath is cold
So young and yet so old
Germany!
I (you have, you have, you have, you have)
I never wanna leave you (you cry, you cry, you cry, you cry)
You can be loved (you love, you love, you love, you love)
And I want to hate you (you hate, you hate, you hate, you hate)
Arrogant, superior, take over, hand over, Surprise, attack
Germany, Germany above all Germany, my heart on fire
Want to love and condemn you Germany, your breath is cold
So young and yet so old Germany, your love Is a blessing and a curse Germany, I can't give you my love Germany!
You I We your You (overpowering, superfluous)
I (better humans, taking over)
We (whoever rises high will fall low) You (Germany, Germany above all) Germany, my heart is on fire
Want to love and condemn you Germany, your breath is cold
So young and yet so old
Germany, your love Is a blessing and a curse
Germany, I can't give you my love Germany!
Like a lot of other commenters have said, Rammstein is an Industrial Metal band. Their live shows, from the videos I have seen, are amazing. Their use of pyro, fire and various props making them one of those very entertaining bands to listen to live.
Broadly speaking it's Industrial Metal
It's Neue Deutsche Härte
lionmori same thing different name haha
More Rammstein please!!
I recommend "Ich will" or "Sonne"
I love how people that aren't from Germany are completely oblivious to how controversial this video is😂
It's only controversial to those who think ignoring and hiding history is a great idea. For the rest of us this is just an objective representation of reality.
It's controversial mainly because of two things.
1. The depiction of themselfes as jews being hanged, which could be argued to be tasteless and
2. The line "Deutschland Deutschland über allen" (Germany Germany above All) is almost the Same as the banned first line of the national hymn which Was removed after the second Word war. For obvius reasons.
So no, it's not about hiding history.
@@charlottetr3449 So would you rather them NOT showing the hangings and NOT using the line?
If you answer yes, you are in favor of hiding historical facts.
If you answer no, there's no controversy cause we agree.
Maybe now you understand my earlier comment.
@@thenewfoundation9822 I am not against showing the hangings, I find it controversial they depicted themselfes being hanged. About the line Deutschland deutschland über allen, I don't mind it being used in Kind of an Art way or historical, it's important that These things get discussed. But let me Tell you. I Was at the rammstein concert for this Tour, and a whole Stadion screaming this line, when before it starte I could see a woman tw rows before me looking up Post by the afd (german alt right/nazi Party) creeped me out. I think this Kind of stuff attracts those Kind of poeple and I don't like it. Simple as that.
@@thenewfoundation9822 as you don't See my point: I am not against things like that being shown, I just dislike the way it Was done, just because this one Part of the Song can absolutely be pickeld out and normalised by alt right poeple, and I absolutely dont want poeple running around singing this line. This part of german culture is absolutely not being hidden anywhere in Germany and there are constantly New exhibitions and art things done to remember it (like the New stolpersteine Bein laid out just recently). All of which I appreciate greatly. Just dont like the way this line in the Song can be used by Neonazis in a completely different way.
One of the bestest greatest song/music video ever made--the unity of message and the form used to express, is just a high level
The actual music genre of them is called "Neue Deutsche Härte". So translated "new german hardness".
Yes he Said shit i think
@@zerenoxtv7919 nope, he didn't, the genre really is called Neue Deutsche Härte (NDH)
Just found your site, good job. Don’t feel bad about just discovering Rammstein I am a 54 year old metal head and I just discovered them. Keep up the good work. Hi from TEXAS.
I REALLY appreciate you actually enjoying and taking in every bit of this cinematic masterpiece...that's exactly what it is. Being American Swiss/German, I cried the first time I saw/heard this. Germany has been through some major shit. My heart breaks for my ancestors who left the Germanic region in the 1740s to the 1760s. I feel like modern Germans have a great pride for their country, but still have so much regret and remorse for what they have been through. God bless Germany!
I loved it the first time I've heard while in hospital in dealing with a brain tumor. It brought cheerfulness to my days ahead
This style has as much to do with Metallica as a tree and a Tupperware.
For someone that's not into the music, or it's just entering the style, it's much easier to draw those similarities since Metallica is like the "standard"... so its understandable
@@andygonzalez9006 Then it would be better if someone did his homework when doing videos like that. Rammstein sounds more like Marilyn Manson or Slipknot (hell, even more like Deftones) than Metallica. Metallica plays blues/punk induced Thrash whereas Rammstein are Industrial Metal/Shock Rock/Pop - the difference couldn't be greater - There is absolutely nothing except for a distorted guitar that reminds of Metallica. Prince doesn't sound like Joe Cocker just because there's a saxophone in it, does he?
It's more the guitar part he was talking about
@@tinschen1987 Not Metallica'ish either... Not at all!
The best comment ever.
Ik hou der van
15:46 - It wasn't adapted from Pulp Fiction. It's a scene to remind Germany of the RAF Terrorists history in the 1970ies. Another BAD part of our history.
Rammstein are industrial metal mate. When you hear more of their songs you'll understand why.
It's Neue Deutsche Härte
Your reaction to Rammstein was so good and funny at the same time. Yes, they are freaking provoсative, but all of their artwork just awesome. I am your new subscriber. Sorry for my english, if there's something wrong.

Hey man just stumbled on your page, I'm from north Dublin my self, born and bred listening to metal so it's good to see someone's fresh take on different bands, sounds etc from the metal genres also Rammstein never sing in English, all of their songs are in German and I would highly recommend giving Ich will a watch, both song and video is just fucking sublime.
Then Twitter warriors claimed the song was pro Nazi.
And Treyarch, seen the amount of nazis in their games. Tom Hanks too, I mean look at all the Nazis in Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers
That's normal for Rammstein.
Hi, I'm from Germany.
Rammstein is playing a classic "Industrial Metal" style. A 50-50 mix of synthesizers and hard metal guitarrs.
A big part of the German history in one video. The black woman as Germania. Germania is the mother of the German nation. It isn't and wasn't a Goddess or Joan of Arc.
The glass coffin: It is Little Snow White from the Grimm-fairytales....and from their own video "Sonne". Only with black skin and in space. The piano song at the end is the song "Sonne", too.
The battle of the Teutoburg forrest against the Romans (and Rammstein as Roman soldiers and Germans alike).
That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history.
The hanged bodies in the trees were the beaten Roman soldiers, who were gruesome sacrificed to the Germanic gods...and were partly nailed to the trees.
The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of Emperor Germanicus. Therefore we see here the arrival of the Roman troops of Germanicus and they are watching their dead comrades hanging in the trees or getting their heads chopped off (for nailing them to the trees).
In reality the Romans under Germanicus found only the bones of the Varus army in the various ways they were slaughtered, sacrificed and displayed at the trees. Slaves were liberated even decades after the battle.
After the scenes with the Romans we saw the Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster (the burning Zeppelin in the background).
The moustaches and clothing from the fight scene are from WWI and post WWI years. From the working class people in WWI and the roaring 20's. In the WWII years later on this kind of big bushy moustache was already out of fashion.
The V2 rocket (first manmade object in space) as technical triumph of the German spirit...and at the same time the killing of the concentration camp prisoners in the bunker factories below the mountains during the production of that rocket.
This scene in the video could be a representation of a very specific concentration camp. It was "Mittelbau-Dora" below the Kohnstein mountain.
A mixture between a big, huge bunker factory for V1 and V2 rockets and a concentration camp.
The concentration camp inmates had several different markings for different kinds of convicts and their "crimes" sown to their chests, like it was in reality, too. A pink triangle for homosexuals, the star of David for Jews and two of them were marked with the double-triangles for Jehovas Whitnesses.
The book burnings of the Nazis and the burning of the witches of the church. In the same scene with the book burning there is EVEN MORE going on. The cooperation of the church with the Nazis, when the priest with the cross embraces the Nazi SA-man.
The scene with the sign with the Hammer and a pair of compasses in a circle of wheat is the sign of the GDR (DDR). The socialst German state in the east that existed before the German reunification.
Therefore it was Karl Marx in the background in the scene with the tank (not the scene at the concentration camp).
The scene with Rammstein wielding guns (the pumpgun) and taking Germania hostage was about leftwing terrorism of the 1970's. The terrorists were called the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion).
My interpretation of the red scanner-like beams: There are two different kinds of beams. The massive straight red light beam that goes up into the heavens AND there were those smaller, thinner "scanner" beams.
Aliens (or humans from the future) are scanning the whole German history. Like some real scientists are scanning and excarvating ancient Mexican or Egyptian statues, for example.
The massive red light beam is the red ribbon of time that ties together all the historical events.
PS: As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany.
PPS: They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages.
In my opinion it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it).
But that eating scene could indeed have a double meaning. It could represent the 30 years war, that was fought for religious reasons and depopulated large areas of Germany. It forced the people to commit canibalism because nobody was there anymore to produce food. Except the fat, wealthy people of the church, of course. They were still able to eat enough. Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war.
The 30 years war was the biggest catastrophe in Germany until WWI happened.
PPPS: The short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too.
PPPPS: The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII.
PPPPPS: My interpretation of the glass coffin is Little Snow White in space, like I wrote before.
PPPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet.
Finally:
The scenes I'm now talking about are pretty dark and low light. The WWII submarine in the submarine bunker during the astronauts are walking by with the glass coffin.
I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because:
a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless
b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold
c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE 😄
Excellent dissemination 👍🏼
Rammstein - and Metallica are worlds apart ... love this history book of Germany by Rammstein our History unfolded in 3-4 minutes time ... another Masterpiece
You do perfect reactions! Some comments inbetween but never too long or too much!
And also great thoughts on all that.
Like!
Now imagine my little ass sitting there together with my dad after not hearing from those guys for 10 years and then seeing this. My eyes were wet of joy... seriously
After 4 Videos - you´re amazing :)
Greetings from Germany
Now that's a real reaction! ❤
Rammstein is known for their techno elements in their music, thats also what makes them really special. They have their own style that no other band has
Rammstein described their music as "dance metal" when they started
I love how he is referring to the awesome music video, which he gave a quarter of the screen just to talk about the subtitles that you couldn't read if they were active. After this he blends the video in again and gives it literally 1/9 of the screen. Even less space to see what he is referring to. I literally had to open up the video parallel to this reaction to see what he meant.
love from EGYPT
Rammstein is my favourite band, has been for years. All their videos are incredible. German Industrial metal has a lot of techno in
yes Rammstein has 6 members and their songs always had a electronic sound to their music. Some songs to look into is Feuer Frei, Dust Hast, and Ohne Dich
Nice how you introduced yourself at the beginning of the video
And very nice that you watched it till the end
This band has amazing videos and even more amazing live shows.
ich bin stolz auf diese band, da sie einfach eine literarische kunst beherrscht, die wenige andere bands beherrschen.
1. Irish
2. Great taste in music
3. 22 years (probably 23 by now(?))
4. refers to Assassin's Creed
Want a German girlfriend? 😂
LOL!
Sind Iren Gutverdiener oder warum ist das ein Kriterium für dich? Ich meine den Rest kann ich ja nachvollziehen, aber wenn du ihn Hübsch findest liegt das wohl kaum an seiner Herkunft... XD
Ich stell mich in die Schlange, würde dir aber den Vortritt lassen xD
Or a Venezuelan girlfriend ;)
Thats type of reaction i like, quick pauses and focus on song - video instead of 2mins stupid breaks. Thanks for that and keep doing that please :)
You will all so notice that every clip has the colors of the German flag Red, Black, Gold that's why the lasers
The Lasers represents the connection between the events . In german we have the saying "Der rote Faden" (The red thread) as symbol for connecting events in history that at the end leads to the current situation. From the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest where various german tribes fight together against the roman empire (The first temporal unification of germanic tribes) through the roman empire of german nations (that was no empire and also everything but german) the black centuries, the teutonic order, , the reformation, the re-bird as nation under prussia,the Weimar republic with the Hyperinflation, the brother fights of the workers class (socialists against nationalists) - close to a civial war, the nazi-regime, the division, the terrorist years where Germany was captured by the terrorists (RAF) etc.
@@DSP16569 That could be as well but it's all so to help have the colors in every scenes. Honestly it's cool they did it so deep with the video.
This album marks such a FANTASTIC return for this band. Radio is another banger of a song on the new album...
As has been mentioned Sonne by Rammstein has an execellent video. Also don't forget 'Du Hast' where you can hear the "techno influence"
Rammstein has 6 members: flake/keyboard Schneider/drummer Oliver/rhythm-guitar Richard/guitar Paul/guitar Till/singer
the piano song at the end: "Rammstein - Sonne"
Apparently shot over a period of only 3 days! I am a 58 year old mum from Australia who LOVES Rammstein! My son got into them in high school and I have loved them ever since! Have them really loud in the car and people look at me as though I'm weird playing their music at my age but I was Black Sabbath and AC/DC girl when I was a teenager and just adore this music!! LOVE this song!!
this should be interesting to watch :D
I've seen so many amazing videos, but damn the production, costumes, art direction.. everything in this video is amazing. I've been wondering how much it cost to make this. If it's under 5 mil I'd be surprised.
Istg this hits even better when u know german (i‘m austrian henlo yeet)
They're an industrial metal band from Rammstein Germany, their first album was in 1994, there are 6 members, 2 guitarists, 1 bassist, 1 drummer, 1 keyboardist and the lead singer. The video itself is more or less a dark chronological history of Germany dating back to the early Roman invasion of proto Germany. The woman, Rubey Commey, is the personification of Germania and represents the colours of the German flag, Black skin, Gold armor and Red lipstick (with the exception of the time periods where she represents Prussia in black and white dress, see early formation for modern Germany). The song itself is, in my opinion, Rammstein's representation of how a great deal of Germans still feel about their nation and it's history.
Till Lindemann - lead vocals
Richard Z Kruspe - guitar 1
Paul Launders - guitar 2
Oliver Ridel - bass
Christophe Schnider - drums
Flake - keyboard/accordion
at its heart the song is about patriots disavowing their nations nationalistic tendencies
Rammstein the best Band we have here in Germany :D you got a sub ^^
Definitely the best band ever
I enjoyed watching you see/hear this song for the first time!! I remembered how friggin excited I was to hear/see it, myself for the first time- after 10 years of no new music!!!! Love Rammstein
Great reaction, glad it wasn't blocked aswell, many Rammstein reactions get blocked.
DJC We’ll see anyways 🙏🏻 Can never count on not getting a strike lol, can come at any time 😖
@@DrewFortune97 yup. :( I've seen some other reaction channels have to remove the video and say it was blocked and let viewers follow along watching the video on another screen or device.
When I first saw the video I was finally convinced these guys are real artists for arts sake.
Love your stuff. I highly recommend either Avatar (the king welcomes you to avatar country) or Eleuvitie (rebirth)
you had me at avatar!! i love them and was lucky enough to see them live last october when they joined up with trivium, mid tour...johannes is an f'ing giant, lol
finally someone who actually does their research grate job m8
I love when you say "pretty grim" about a part of this video that is like a hundredth of the grim you will experience with a Rammstein video haha. I don't think you could handle Mein Teil haha
If u watch the video closely ull notice that in most of the scenes youll find the colours Black Red and Gold at the same time.
This Video has so many cool hidden little things its insane
Metal with lots of synth often translates into industrial.
To industrial metal.
When metalheads call industrial metal simply "industrial" it is such a cringe.
I mean Throbbing Gristle or early discography of Skinny Puppy to name a couple, that is industrial.
Great reaction! As it should be done!
Ich liebe Rammstein🖤🤘eine Wohltat gegen diesen ganzen Rapscheiss und den Heulsusenlieder der Pussys.
6 beautiful members 😍😍 of Rammstein! Love them all ❤❤ Team Till !!
„I thought there would only be 4 bandmembers.“
Poor Flake. Has to get burned, walk for the entire concert, has to do the craziest stuff and then doesn‘t even get recognized ^^ (and I think he forgot Paul - just because of the classic setting Singer, Drummer, Bass and Guitar and Richard playing the lead guitar)
Ive been a rammstein fan for a LONG time!! I love these guys! Rammstein is a band that makes you realize music can be good even in a language that you dont understand. Ive been a fan since i was 14 and im now 33.
The line "Deutschland über allen", meaning "Germany above all", is a recognition of the first line of the German national anthem. The line in the anthem says "Deutschland über alles", meaning essentially the same mean, is also illegal to sing when singing the national anthem itself as it was banned after the fall of the Nazi party.
Ah no. "Deutschland über allen" means "Germany above everyone" where as "Deutschland über alles" mean "Germany above everything". The distinction is important because it is not only a reference to that forbidden stanza but also a very essential part of the meaning and theme of the whole song. Deutschland über alles, the forbidden line, was originally meant as a call to come together and work for the goodness of the newly founded country. Until today Germans have a very local sense of pride. This is because they used to be a lot of independent regions that were at each other's throat a lot and still make fun of the others traditions, dialects and what not. The song line asks them to recognize that they are one country now and to put the good of that country above their local squabbles and to stick together. It's a call to put being German above being Bavarian, above being Rhinelander above being whatever region you come from. Until the Nazis reinterpreted the meaning. Now it is no longer "put Germany as a while above your regions" now it is "Germany is above everything in the world because it's better than the rest of the world". Those are the two meanings of the original "Deutschland über alles". Now Rammstein sings "Deutschland über allen." This über has nothing to do with being put above something or being above in the sense of being better than something else. This über has, connected with the allen (everyone), more of a covering type of meaning. Germany, and its past, hangs above everyone, like a cloud or fog hangs above things. This reflects the meaning of the whole song: the country and its history looms above everyone who tries to love it and keeps them from doing so. Germany hangs above everyone, every German. Of course there is also a positive interpretation, it can be above everyone in an umbrella kind of way, protecting. But that is also the essence of the song. A curse and a blessing. So yeah, I don't think they put it in there just for the scandal and they didn't change it like that to get around the restriction on that stanza. They put it there because that sentence is a part of history and its change shows the change in the country.
@@blueisthecolourofourplanet7121 eh, close enough, but thanks for the correction
First time I heard Rammstein was years ago.. Sonne which is just beautiful.. I love what they do.. Zeit. Please watch this video.. Powerful
8:29 Rammstein always had a Dance/Techno Vibe with there music ... listen to the "Sehnsucht" Album
Its' a lot fun seeing these reactions on youtube, people are amazed with Rammstein like if the band were new on the music industry, especially because the band has been around for at last 20 years and still ruling the music world with its unique style.
I was surprised seeing you reacting to Rammstein after I just watched a BTS vid from you cuz they are honestly 2 different worlds. Its the only metal band I enjoy so far🔥so maybe react to 'Sonne' or 'Keine Lust' cuz those two are rly good too👀
So just to help out a little. Rammstein kinda founded the Genre which is called "Neue Deutsche Härte". They're their own kind of music. But as you can see pretty successful with it :D
there have indeed been quite a few reactions but an awesome song i found recently is unleash the archers - awakening. you can also do their song cleanse the bloodlines, it's equally as badass. good introduction to semi-power metal
Probably the best music video ever made. Can't wait for the new album.
the term you were looking for is called: "arpeggio"
the end bit, the piano music is the melody of Rammstein's "Sonne"
