Nice reaction anyways. Good that it got unblocked. You get many views for it i guess. But i love your newer videos as well. Its nice to see the change you went through.
The greatest, and worst things in history have come from Germany. It's a real paradox. Land of poets and philosophers. America wouldn't have made it to the moon without the Germans. Einstein, etc.
@@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime - The Chinese, Greeks, Romans and Persians all could say the same thing to be honest. I think with the video the band isn't particularly interested in the positive contributions and are really more interested in commenting on their historic tendency to have horrific leaders who commit terrible atrocities and ideologies that enable these leaders. I dont disagree that Germanic people have achieved great things but lets face it there's a lot of stuff that cant be ignored and the secret of moving forward positively is never to forget that but rather learn and strive to be better. At it's core I think this video is a call to Germans to understand their own cultural issues and strive to avoid making the mistakes of the past.
In the beginning of the 20 century nobody expected Germany to turn into this terrible far-right state. It was the birthplace of prominent leftist philosophers, a bastion of liberalism and progressivism in Europe. And it was all destroyed within a couple of years.
Rammstein’s Deutschland takes us on a thrilling, violent, and moving journey through German history. At over nine minutes, it gives us a panorama of events and historical and mythical figures, and there are so many references and Easter eggs that fans and commentators will be poring over it for some time to come. Germania’ refers not just to a place, somewhere partly defined by where it isn’t (Rome) as well as where it is, but also to a national figurehead, traditionally representing the German people. Germania is a strong woman, usually armour-clad and battle-ready. Various symbols appear with her, among them a breastplate with an eagle, a black, red, and gold flag, and a crown. Look out for these in the video - they come up again and again - and the colours of the contemporary flag are there in every scene. On the video, Germania is played by a german actress Ruby Commey
It is also meant as a warning for the future generations not to fall into old patterns and behaviour, because if you only knew violence... you mostly will choose violence in the future. It's hard to choose and go on a new path. A path free of hatred and violence. Look at the news and you know what I mean. At the end you can hear an older song from Rammstein called "Sonne" in the orchestral/piano version. That song adds another depth to it with it's muted style (no lyrics, but if you know them you realize the depth their playing at) and the downplayed tone. It underlines the warning to not fall into old ways and not to fly too close to the sun, while going forward or you are losing your sense of ground and surrounding which makes easier to repeat old mistakes. Like the story with Icarus flying too close to the sun with his waxen wings. It also depicts the personality split of the german society. Greetings from a half british-german person in germany. :)
@@TheWinglessHawk You are so right. God bless you. I for myself just want to honor my ancestors nothing less nothing more 😊 Germany ... your love is damnation and curse at the same time 😔😖 Hearty greetings from Germany 😁
Definitely. same here. Again, I found so many new things, in this re-released video. I already saw the blocked original video of Wolf Hunterz, and since then I found so many more things in this awesome masterpiece. Every! Single! Bloody! Time!
When it first came out I watched it on my big screen TV with friends who don't know or don't listen to metal. Most of them black lol and they were blown away. My one guy looked at me stoned out of his mind and said bro, what the hell was that
I'm German and I don't really like Rammstein that much, but this song is like a secret national anthem: "Germany, I want to love you and damn you - your love is a curse and a blessing, but my love I can't give to you..." totally been there.
This is an awesome piece of art, thanks for a great reaction also the quality was fantastic as always, you guys are great, regards from rainy Scotland.
Oh yes, I would also watch a film with Rammstein. The title will certainly be "The Dirty Half Dozen". PS: Thanks for playing the video to the end and not skipping the credits.
I always felt that the German language would have fit perfectly with rock music back in the 70's while I was in college taking German language courses and rocking out to the best music ever made. Having retired years ago, I had time to watch this thing called "youtube" and saw Rammstein live with awesome videos as well. I was right. I am heading to San Antonio "come hell or high water!".
They do have an album of Piano covers called "Klavier" which means piano, which is also an older song by them. And yes it was "Sonne", from that album. The fancy deluxe version of the album also contains all the sheet music for the songs to.🎼
Hi, I'm from Germany. Rammstein is playing a classic "Industrial Metal" style. A 50-50 mix of synthesizers and hard metal guitars. A big part of the German history in one video. The black woman as Germania. Germania is the personification 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 forest 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 falling banknotes in the prison are not about corruption. That scene is about the hyper-inflation of the 1920's, that took away the savings of the Germans and left them in deep poverty and desperation. One had to pay a loaf of bread with a handcart full of nearly worthless banknotes back then and it hit the German people deep down inside and in their souls. Especially the poor ones and the simple workers. 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: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet. Till sings the famous, often misinterpreted, line of the "Deutschlandlied" (Song of the Germans), that is not forbidden in Germany but simply isn't sung anymore in our modern national anthem. Till sings in his version the line "Deutschland über allen" (Germany above everybody) What is a BIG change to the real line in the orginal Deutschlandlied-song. In the original Deutschlandlied song it is written as "Deutschland über alles" (Germany above everything). The real, whole line of that old Deutschlandlied goes "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles. Über alles in der Welt" (Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world). This line is often misinterpreted by many people as chauvinism and as a looking down upon all other countries on this planet. But that is wrong and not many people know about that in Germany and elsewhere. The writer of that famous line didn't meant it in a chauvinistic way. When that song was written, Germany was divided into umphteeth mini-states, what made Germany relative powerless and defenseless. Therefore the task of German unification was the goal above any other goal for all Germans (at least the writer of the song meant it that way). So the main goal for all Germans had to be the united Germany. The goal of "(united) Germany above everything else". That was, how that line was meant by the writer of the song. The line isn't forbidden, like many people wrongly think. It's simply not sung anymore and not part of the official anthem of modern Germany anymore. This has NOT its reason in the seemingly chauvinist meaning of "Deutschland über alles", like many people wrongly think. This whole stanza of the Deutschlandlied isn't sung anymore, because in other parts of the stanza are borders and landscapes mentioned, that aren't German borders and landscapes anymore. We want to live in peace with the people and countries, who are now living in those former German lands and therefore we don't sing about those old borders and landscapes anymore. It has nothing to do with the "Deutschland über alles" line in that stanza, like many people wrongly are thinking. 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 😄 My recommendation for a reaction: The band "Lord of the lost" and their song "Under the sun". Greetings! Mega
Saw them at my first big day out Australia when I was 15 and have been obsessed ever since. They were unique then and there are now . They are ramstien! That’s why they are special 💕💕💕
they are real jokers, at 8:08 Ruby Gommey (Germania) is wearing angel wings like Till used to wear on stage performing "Engel". And the guys are on their hands and knees like in another video (Mein Teil). It's a big fun!
Germany is so many things,both beautiful and brutal. And I love her,..forever. (oh,and its not that old of a video-released on 28 March 2019) *The outro Piano music is their song "Sonne".
Habe das Video jetzt schon oft angeschaut und bekomme immer wieder Gänsehaut beim Anschauen. Ebenso habe ich immer das Bedürfnis komplett anzuschauen, so viele Details die Rammstein mit eingebaut haben, Klasse!!! Es zeigt auf wie dumm der Parasit Mensch ist und wie grausam. Und wenn ich gedanklich in die Gegenwart schwenke erschreckt mich am allermeisten, der Mensch, die ,,Obrigkeit'' hat daraus immer noch nichts gelernt......
The next generation of humans is sad. I'm not even mid 30's and I still understand everything about this video. Do they not teach history anymore in school? Seriously...
if you really understand 'everything' about this video, you have to be german and hence visited a german school. the wolf hunterz on the other hand obviously aren't german and hence didn't visit a german school. so, bravo for learnig the history of your _own_ country in school (and expecting people from another country to learn 'everything' about the history of a _foregin_ country). -.-
I agree that many people's historical knowledge is severely lacking, but I'm not buying that you understand everything in this video. Giving birth to a dog? You really expect even people with a good knowledge of German history to understand that without some explanation? I thought the beginning was Teutoburg Forest, because I did learn about that, and I suspect that's what most people think. However, it isn't. The reference to Heinrich Heine? The slight but deliberate alteration of the line from the Deutschlandlied? The prison violence? You really mean you understood _everything?_
This is a Blockbuster under the Musicvideos. its awsome to see, what diffrent feeling....puh.....the Outro "Sonne" played by Clemens Christian Poetzsch.....goosebumps
I was browsing random Rammstein reactions and came across this one loved it the history of Germany in a few minutes is a hell of a trip. Also loved your music too! So happy I found this channel. 😎💜 Keep up the good work. I agree! Someone should let them make a movie or a series.
Is a hell of a song from beginning to end y'all should search for what the song and the video means is full of rich history bad and good but none the less rich history Rammstein never disappoints!!! The ending with the piano is the their song Sonne
I can’t understand why I don’t remember this song because it’s so intense. Wow! Glad I saw it though! I’ll have to add this to my music list. I love Rammstein though.
I just cant wait to se Rammstein live for my 3:e time next year i Gothenburg!! I was on the last tour 2019 in Stockholmand stood under the third fire tower during "Deutschland" and "Sonne"! "D" was a VERY Good live song and during "S" I could feel the fire from the fire tower 82 foot up! Thank you Travis and Suzi for your reaction videos! I am lucky to be a "Fox" so i wont be hunted by you;) Take care! With love "Foxfire", fire artist from Sweden.
Damn, this is absolutely one of my favorite songs of Rammstein, i know them from just one year but i am already a very big fan, i always liked this way of making shows, of making stories for their songs, they are really particular and different from the rest of the other groups, since from when they Started, just for letting you know, the Leading Singer Till has taken part on a movie like i think it was nearly 10 years ago, i havent seen it but i would like to do it, well nothing else to say, you always do a great job with your reactions, Keep it up like this pals, Bye from Italy! P.S sorry if there are some grammatic errors i am not a native speaker of english😂
@@stephanewantiez164 Thanks but already done😅 and i got to say, they always catch up something new, and i love it! The album it's really cool, not all of it but it's cool, some tracks are not good in my opinion as the others, like Meine Tranen, it's nice, but after have listened that song for one time, i wouldn't hear it for 1 month, same thing with Lugen
I really feel for Germany they have been through hell. In this video Rammstein has done an excellent job showing the failures of a Republic, a Socialist state, and then of Communism, however through it all the German people, the German Spirit has survived!!
Now they have more of a social democracy. At least in the sense that they have the very government benefits that progressives are fighting and advocating for.
This is a masterpiece, they start with the earliest beginnings around the Varus battle and give an overview over German history. Unfortunately I think it is essential to also understand the lyrics. As a German this always leaves me proud and sad at the same moment, because it expresses perfectly what I - and I guess all other Germans I know - feel for the country. We do not love our country, we are not proud to be german, however we are thankful that we are german and we are aware of a certain responsibility that it brings with it.
What did I just witness? Two people making goofy faces while watching one of the most heartbreaking videos ever. It wasn’t even an actual reaction video. I watched a bunch of reacts from a wide variety of creators and all of them were objectively far better since they gave an interpretation, provided reasoning for their judgement, gave an insight how it made them feel etc.
First of all, I think you have to be from Germany to understand all this. I am from Germany and have studied our history extensively and even I can't quite make sense of some passages, although I have seen the video X times. Especially the many cuts and jumps into different time zones makes it practically impossible for anyone who didn't grow up and go to school in Germany to follow the whole thing properly. Forget the lyrics, the story is told by the pictures. The beginning as barbarians to dark age with his crusades, Imperial Era and First World War, Weimarer Repuplic, Second World War specifically the Holocaust, the terror of the so called "Red Army Fraction" in the 70s, divided Germany in east and west...... The so-called "Varus Battle" in the Teuteburger Forest, which the Teutons won because they were led by a soldier trained in Rome who lured the Romans into the impenetrable Teutonic forests and thereby completely destroyed their usual strategies. It was common roman practice at the time to kidnap sons of Germanic tribal leaders and threaten them with death so that peace would prevail in the provinces. Many of these kidnapped people later made careers in the Roman army and one of them even made it to the centurion before returning to Germania to properly kick the Romans there a........... 😉 They lost three entire legions, their leader (Varus) committed suicide, and it was the most devastating defeat in the history of the Roman Army. This won battle and the "Battle of Leschfeld" under Otto the Great against the Huns are generally regarded as the birth of a German feeling of togetherness and the beginning of the birth of a nation.
Clearly this is an old video. we have upgraded our quality since. This was blocked and is no longer blocked! YEAH!
dont see any low quality here, nor in the vid or your interactions, thanks to the gods that finally we can see this, keep up the good work!
Nice reaction anyways. Good that it got unblocked. You get many views for it i guess. But i love your newer videos as well. Its nice to see the change you went through.
i come from Hagen/ Deutschland punk from the 80 yehrs Look EXTRABREIT from Hagen and Die Toten Hosen and Nichts from Düsseldorf .
Does this mean you guys have a reaction to Rammstein - Radio too???
Please react to City Am Fenster
I believe the woman in the queen outfit represents Germany: used, abused, loved, hated, proud, ashamed but in the end still standing
In fact it's Lady Germania being kind of symbol for Germany
Yes, Ja
Deutschland by Rammstein is not only a music video clip, it's an art, and it's awesome.
More then 2 years later it's still a Masterpiece.
YES! Its always Masterpiece!
how is that an impressive feat, songs that are masterpieces never cease to be so.
It will forever be a masterpiece, best music video ever produced!
Weird comment. Time has no effect on masterpieces. Mozart's music is still good, right?
This song and Sonne are my favorite songs by Rammstein. And the video is stunning. Love ❤️ it
This video has more symbolism, more sorrow and regret, more love and passion, than years of dry history reading could teach you.
Thats germany
Some people say its the best music video EVER, i agree!!😉😉😉
i am from poland and i love this move - it is the history of german/europe
Being german I watched this video several times... its always a mixture of joy and pain.
Unfortunately more pain.
Thats the point though really isn't it.

The piano at the end always sends chills through me.
It is actually a piano version of their song "Sonne"
@@stevebee454 Yea, i know.
I love how they are ashamed by Germany's darkest moments of history but they still love their country. I love Rammstein
The beat that Christoph Schneider creates with his bass drum is the rhythm of my heart. And this is in my top 3 favorite Rammstein songs.
thank you guys for playing it till the end
Pretty much every "section" of this musical movie masterpiece deserves it's own history lecture.
Rammstein always throw themselves entirely into the vision of everything they do.
This is an awesome piece of art, thanks for a great reaction also the quality was fantastic as always, you guys are great, regards from rainy Scotland.

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.

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.

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: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet.
Till sings the famous, often misinterpreted, line of the "Deutschlandlied" (Song of the Germans), that is not forbidden in Germany but simply isn't sung anymore in our modern national anthem.
Till sings in his version the line "Deutschland über allen" (Germany above everybody) What is a BIG change to the real line in the orginal Deutschlandlied-song. In the original Deutschlandlied song it is written as "Deutschland über alles" (Germany above everything).
The real, whole line of that old Deutschlandlied goes "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles. Über alles in der Welt" (Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world).
This line is often misinterpreted by many people as chauvinism and as a looking down upon all other countries on this planet. But that is wrong and not many people know about that in Germany and elsewhere.
The writer of that famous line didn't meant it in a chauvinistic way.
When that song was written, Germany was divided into umphteeth mini-states, what made Germany relative powerless and defenseless. Therefore the task of German unification was the goal above any other goal for all Germans (at least the writer of the song meant it that way).
So the main goal for all Germans had to be the united Germany. The goal of "(united) Germany above everything else".
That was, how that line was meant by the writer of the song.
The line isn't forbidden, like many people wrongly think. It's simply not sung anymore and not part of the official anthem of modern Germany anymore.
This has NOT its reason in the seemingly chauvinist meaning of "Deutschland über alles", like many people wrongly think. This whole stanza of the Deutschlandlied isn't sung anymore, because in other parts of the stanza are borders and landscapes mentioned, that aren't German borders and landscapes anymore.
We want to live in peace with the people and countries, who are now living in those former German lands and therefore we don't sing about those old borders and landscapes anymore.
It has nothing to do with the "Deutschland über alles" line in that stanza, like many people wrongly are thinking.
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 😄
My recommendation for a reaction:
The band "Lord of the lost" and their song "Under the sun".
Greetings!

Yes the Song and the Video are absolutely amazing, but that Piano Outro is out of this world!!!
omg absolutely amazing video quality, thanks guys love you 🥰
This Song on piano was Sonne by Rammstein
Saw them at my first big day out Australia when I was 15 and have been obsessed ever since. They were unique then and there are now . They are ramstien! That’s why they are special 💕💕💕
Usually it is questionable to look up the lyrics for Rammstein, but for this it is necessary.
Rammstein 👍🏻
Greeting from Hamburg
Just a Music-cineatic-Masterpiece!!!
This song and video is a piece of art. A history lesson packed into a song. Great reaction 👌🏼🇳🇴 Btw i just love the chemistry between you 2 ❤
the outro piano is from another masterpiece of rammstein with SM snow white "SONNE"
i love them because...they have been punks during the eighties in east germany, and they are still punks!
they are real jokers, at 8:08 Ruby Gommey (Germania) is wearing angel wings like Till used to wear on stage performing "Engel". And the guys are on their hands and knees like in another video (Mein Teil). It's a big fun!
I love the outro with the piano playing their song, “Sonne”
Ich liebe Rammstein! Die beste und kreativste band! 🤯😃
Song on the piano was their song "Sonne"
Waiting for this LITERALLY for 10 months!!!
Best Rammstein Video ever❤❤❤
My heart is on fire!
You two are amazing !! Keep on the good work and god bless you ❤
Thanks for your reaction! 💚 I was really looking forward to watch it.
Thank you and greetings from germany.
The Video tells German history and that to be German is Curse and Blessing at the same Time...the Black Women represents Germania.
Germany is so many things,both beautiful and brutal. And I love her,..forever.
(oh,and its not that old of a video-released on 28 March 2019)
*The outro Piano music is their song "Sonne".
State of the art masterpiece.
Habe das Video jetzt schon oft angeschaut und bekomme immer wieder Gänsehaut beim Anschauen.
Ebenso habe ich immer das Bedürfnis komplett anzuschauen, so viele Details die Rammstein mit eingebaut haben, Klasse!!!
Es zeigt auf wie dumm der Parasit Mensch ist und wie grausam. Und wenn ich gedanklich in die Gegenwart schwenke erschreckt mich am allermeisten, der Mensch, die ,,Obrigkeit'' hat daraus immer noch nichts gelernt......
Geht mir auch so.
The next generation of humans is sad. I'm not even mid 30's and I still understand everything about this video. Do they not teach history anymore in school? Seriously...
if you really understand 'everything' about this video, you have to be german and hence visited a german school. the wolf hunterz on the other hand obviously aren't german and hence didn't visit a german school. so, bravo for learnig the history of your _own_ country in school (and expecting people from another country to learn 'everything' about the history of a _foregin_ country). -.-
I agree that many people's historical knowledge is severely lacking, but I'm not buying that you understand everything in this video. Giving birth to a dog? You really expect even people with a good knowledge of German history to understand that without some explanation? I thought the beginning was Teutoburg Forest, because I did learn about that, and I suspect that's what most people think. However, it isn't. The reference to Heinrich Heine? The slight but deliberate alteration of the line from the Deutschlandlied? The prison violence? You really mean you understood _everything?_
No one seems to notice that at the end when the vocalist represents someone about to be hung he is crying.
The piano at the end is actually the chorus music from the song Sonne !!!
Amazon Prime has two concerts from Rammstein: Rammstein in paris and Rammstein in America
This is a Blockbuster under the Musicvideos. its awsome to see, what diffrent feeling....puh.....the Outro "Sonne" played by Clemens Christian Poetzsch.....goosebumps
MASTERPIECE
This song talks about German History ^^ its very good :)
The lyrics are quite intresting , my heart in flames want to love and damn you, so young and yet so old..
The song at the end of the vidéoclip is the acoustic piano version of "sonne" .... Another very famous song of the band
Yes, that´s the uncutted Version. BTW. the Piano in the outro is from "Hier kommt die Sonne"
I was browsing random Rammstein reactions and came across this one loved it the history of Germany in a few minutes is a hell of a trip. Also loved your music too!
So happy I found this channel. 😎💜
Keep up the good work.
I agree! Someone should let them make a movie or a series.
Is a hell of a song from beginning to end y'all should search for what the song and the video means is full of rich history bad and good but none the less rich history Rammstein never disappoints!!! The ending with the piano is the their song Sonne
I can’t understand why I don’t remember this song because it’s so intense. Wow! Glad I saw it though! I’ll have to add this to my music list. I love Rammstein though.
this lyrics are so sad and true
I just cant wait to se Rammstein live for my 3:e time next year i Gothenburg!! I was on the last tour 2019 in Stockholmand stood under the third fire tower during "Deutschland" and "Sonne"! "D" was a VERY Good live song and during "S" I could feel the fire from the fire tower 82 foot up! Thank you Travis and Suzi for your reaction videos! I am lucky to be a "Fox" so i wont be hunted by you;) Take care! With love "Foxfire", fire artist from Sweden.
Thanks, you whipping sycron and understand nothing, but thanks for watching 🙂
Damn, this is absolutely one of my favorite songs of Rammstein, i know them from just one year but i am already a very big fan, i always liked this way of making shows, of making stories for their songs, they are really particular and different from the rest of the other groups, since from when they Started, just for letting you know, the Leading Singer Till has taken part on a movie like i think it was nearly 10 years ago, i havent seen it but i would like to do it, well nothing else to say, you always do a great job with your reactions, Keep it up like this pals, Bye from Italy! P.S sorry if there are some grammatic errors i am not a native speaker of english😂
You should check their latest videos of their new album, they're just brilliant!
@@stephanewantiez164 Thanks but already done😅 and i got to say, they always catch up something new, and i love it! The album it's really cool, not all of it but it's cool, some tracks are not good in my opinion as the others, like Meine Tranen, it's nice, but after have listened that song for one time, i wouldn't hear it for 1 month, same thing with Lugen
I really feel for Germany they have been through hell. In this video Rammstein has done an excellent job showing the failures of a Republic, a Socialist state, and then of Communism, however through it all the German people, the German Spirit has survived!!
I don't see much of a German spirit around.
Well, if you consider cowardice and Obedience to the government as German spirit, then yes, you're correct
@@richtigersoan What exactly do you mean by cowardice?
Now they have more of a social democracy. At least in the sense that they have the very government benefits that progressives are fighting and advocating for.
Imho, the last scene shows how the German spirit has survived - and that's the final messasge of this song: As puppies, born by Germania.
@@richtigersoan Was ist falsch mit dir?
This song tell the most part of the Alemanha's History but as a song. RAMMSTEIN are culture.
They are perfection ❤❤
I’ve probably watched almost all of your Rammstein reaction videos. You both seem really fun to be around 😎
Интересно, они хотя бы попытаются понять смысл или для них это останется просто драйвом
Rammstein🙌🏼bestttt
That piano version of Sonne is beautiful
God, that piano version of Sonne!
This is a masterpiece; video and music.👍😎
The piano melody you hear at the end is a piano rendition of their song "sonne"
that piano at the end of the clip must have been played by "Flake" :-)
Still waiting for Bück Dich live 😉
This is a masterpiece, they start with the earliest beginnings around the Varus battle and give an overview over German history. Unfortunately I think it is essential to also understand the lyrics. As a German this always leaves me proud and sad at the same moment, because it expresses perfectly what I - and I guess all other Germans I know - feel for the country. We do not love our country, we are not proud to be german, however we are thankful that we are german and we are aware of a certain responsibility that it brings with it.
it was sonne "sun"..the piano
Amazing 🤩
I am born and raised in Germany and I am a proud german. 🤘🇩🇪
The video makes a lot more sense if you know the history of germany.
Damn, you are back with Rammstein!
German History,I'm so proud to be German (Bavaria)
Great music, nice video - I already saw it a couple of times. It tells a lot about the German history in this short movie. Great!
Rammstein the best 🤟🤟🇵🇹
What did I just witness? Two people making goofy faces while watching one of the most heartbreaking videos ever. It wasn’t even an actual reaction video. I watched a bunch of reacts from a wide variety of creators and all of them were objectively far better since they gave an interpretation, provided reasoning for their judgement, gave an insight how it made them feel etc.
Cool! Always enjoy watching u guys react to Rammstein💕💕
"Mein Land" next!!!
First of all, I think you have to be from Germany to understand all this. I am from Germany and have studied our history extensively and even I can't quite make sense of some passages, although I have seen the video X times. Especially the many cuts and jumps into different time zones makes it practically impossible for anyone who didn't grow up and go to school in Germany to follow the whole thing properly.
Forget the lyrics, the story is told by the pictures.
The beginning as barbarians to dark age with his crusades, Imperial Era and First World War, Weimarer Repuplic, Second World War specifically the Holocaust, the terror of the so called "Red Army Fraction" in the 70s, divided Germany in east and west......
The so-called "Varus Battle" in the Teuteburger Forest, which the Teutons won because they were led by a soldier trained in Rome who lured the Romans into the impenetrable Teutonic forests and thereby completely destroyed their usual strategies.
It was common roman practice at the time to kidnap sons of Germanic tribal leaders and threaten them with death so that peace would prevail in the provinces. Many of these kidnapped people later made careers in the Roman army and one of them even made it to the centurion before returning to Germania to properly kick the Romans there a........... 😉
They lost three entire legions, their leader (Varus) committed suicide, and it was the most devastating defeat in the history of the Roman Army.
This won battle and the "Battle of Leschfeld" under Otto the Great against the Huns are generally regarded as the birth of a German feeling of togetherness and the beginning of the birth of a nation.
La canción es una obra maestra pero es que el vídeo está a la altura de ella
Rammstein
Juhu! Endlich nicht mehr geblockt! 🥳🎉
I love the video,Germany or Deutchland have a black soul indeed, the video its the dark history of the country ,I love it
"DEUTCHLAND" song tells the whole history of Germany
"DEUTCHLAND" song tells the whole history of Germany
