Hello, there. To answer your question regarding the rolling "r". The way Till sings is because he took singing lessons with am opera singer for 2 years, hence this style of singing being used in classic music. There are some German dialects, where the "r" is being rolled. But in high german it's not being done. With love from Germany 😎 🤘🏻
Dude, if you EVER have the chance to see them live...BUY THE TICKET! Absolutely epic, beautiful, brutal, and warm...quite warm. Best thing I've ever spent money on, in my life. Rolling Rs is just a personal choice for Till, to put emphasis on certain words and phrases.
My favorite live performance of the song is the one from Download Festival. I especially like the flamethrowers that shoot from left and right onto the stage and unite there to form a fireball (sun).
Till Lindemann said the song was originally written as a "fighter song" for the famous Ukrain brothers and Boxers Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko. "Klitschko" was also the working title of the song.This is how the lyrics paraphrase the hitting of the opponent and the referee's count to a knockout:
The R is slightly more pronounced but not to the extent that Till rolls it. I'm learning to speak German (minimum two hours a day for a year, hard going but worth it) and I also speak Welsh. The R roll in both is quite similar. The way Till used it is a vocal choice though. I missed seeing them in Cardiff here in the UK last year because I was too ill to go and I still sigh very heavily about it. If they ever come back here, I'll be there come hell or high water!
Till is from Berlin and they roll the R more than we germans from the west for example, but definitely not as much as he uses for the vocals of the songs
I am a trained actress and was on theatre stages back in Austria. We also have German as our native language, but it is slightly different. Like US-English and UK-English. This "stage talk" is useful, that even the last one hears, what you as performer say. He has a microphone, but I could make out pronunciations of letters, we also pronounce different, when we act on stage. Unfortunately too less are using it today and even more less know about this exists. I think, my teacher, was still "old school" but I am alright with it. I am sorry to hear that you could not go. I was glad, I could. Also in second row fire zone. I truly hope, you can still see them one day. ❤
@@Cindy_Dakin_ Agreed. I live in the Northwest and speak a quite standard “Hochdeutsch” Accent. We barely roll the R. But since Germany is linguistically quite diverse, there are regions were the roll is more pronounced. Till then adds just a bit more spice on top😜
Have you ever seen something from the 2019 of 2022 show? Especially Sonne live 2019 of 2022 is out of this world with the stage and the fire. There are really good multicams on TH-cam.
This was the finale in Rome when I saw them about 10 years ago. You could feel those flames, I was not very close, about 50 meters away. And Sonne was the big finale, they had their symbol in flames at the moment of the crescendo after the "calm" part. It was amazing
I love their live performances in Japan, where all Japanese sing along in German... always get goosebumps! Can't hardly wait for your reaction to "Lords ov Gehenna" by Eden Adversary 🤩
We call it "Bühnen Deutsch". The rolling R is part of the german language, but not very often. The rolling R was part of a "stage german" 150+ years ago where germany had many kinds of dialects. And the "Bühnendeutsch" was a version witch everybody could understand. For example when shows traveled through the country and played in different parts of germany
Simplify and distinguish between the rolled tongue R and the uvula R spoken in the throat. And that's where a tremendous change took place in German: 300 years ago, the R was rolled in the entire language area, today this only happens in a few dialects.
That interesting because I didn’t start rolling the R in my throat until I started singing along with rammstein songs lol I had to to get that sound Till made lol thanks for the info!
i was in the front row in hamburg last year. i swear i checked if my eyebrows werent burnt off after that song. ive never felt so much heat in my face. it was barely endureable :D
I am only recently subscribed to your channel, but I find your reaction videos very cool, you are sympathetic to me and I love Rammstein, the music of them brings me down from everyday stress. Greetings from Germany.
Depends on place you would live in Germany.. In Portugal the "R"'s as well depend, and also some people can't.. We are thught rolling them.. I was borned in Germany, and lived there until 10 yrs old.. For example names like Cristiano Ronaldo, some people can't roll the "R"'s.. and it is ok.. Of course Till, was borned in DDR, east Germany.. ..check the closure on Maddison Square Garden "Pussy" song at the time.. and Benzin or Mein Teil.. Also, Videos..They are the BAR on videos as well.. Deutschland, Zeit, Adieu, Amerika, Radio, (sonne is a great one, but you checked here live), angst, dicke titten, etc, etc..
The rolling of the r is mainly done by people who grew up in the state Bavaria - due to the dialect --- combining bavarian dialect and oxford English together and what you in essence get is souther slang kinda - kinda the way I learned the southern accent quickly - I grew up in lower Bavaria and lived in NC for ten years and some could not tell that I was german - unless they heard me cussing in german --- lol
Sonne was first commissioned by boxer Vitali Klitschko to be used as his entrance song. But he then refused to use it as he thought it was to heavy (it is not clear what he expected from Rammstein?).
know how you feel, dude, old friend put me on to Rammstein over 20 years ago, and was going to get us tickets but real life got in the way, then seen them on the XXX movie, again he went about getting us tickets..and again something came up..yeah, if I could kick myself in the arse I would..talk about the ultimate face palm moments..
some words that require the rolled r in german (although not as extreme as Till does): sprechen - speak Trotz - defiance Prost! - cheers! Problem - problem groß - great / big frei - free Trompete - trumpet Brezel - pretzel Brot - bread rule of thumb: an "r" after a consonant has to be rolled, others may be rolled.
The fighter they made it for, Vitali Klitschko, is probably a little too busy to worry about the song right now, seeing how he's the Mayor of Kyiv. Great reaction as always! :)
Rammstein's rolling "r" comes from German literature. Rammstein's lyrics are often based on German poets like Schiller. Till Lindemann's father was a German poet and writer. Till Lindemann himself published a lot of poetry. Many of Rammstein's lyrics are written more like poems. The rolling "r" has also fallen into disrepute in Germany because Hitler used it in his speeches
Hi there! the R was rrolled regulary in german singing in the old days untill mid of last century. So Till is in his way is honouring the greats in a kind of classical approach. Greetings from Munich!
🇦🇹 Austria here, German native speaker. In the German language there is a slight rolling of the “r”, but nothing like Till does as he overemphasizes it. Most people somewhat slur the “r” anyway. A lot of native English speakers who learn German use the “r” as pronounced in English and it still sounds about alright. It is a matter of perfection really.
no it is realy good to understand....to be fair i know the lyrics so it might be playing in . fun fact: it was original written to be the entering song for wladimir klitschko. gives the text a whole new meaning. gut how they canged the meaning with ther fideo later is stunning like allways with rammstein. the words an the video can mean two different things
Please, please react to this song from the Berlin 2019/2022 shows. Latest stage settings, you haven’t seen anything like that before. When you feel the heat of the fire towers on your face you’ll know you’re in heaven 🔥
"Rrolling the R" is just how we say it, it's not a concious decision. The pronounciation is just different from English and takes place in another area in the throat. It's something anybody can do with practice. German doesn't have TH, but we can still learn to say it (even when American movies let people believe we only have sharp s ....). But yes, Till deliberately goes hard on his Rs and it obviously works well with the music.
No, there is no word where the R is rolled. This is an art form of Till. And there are various dialects where the R is rolled, but Till does not sing with any of these dialects.
No, the R does not have to be rolled. It's a dialect thing, in the south of Germany the R is rolled more than in the north. Greetings from south Germany ;)
I really like your reactions, but there's one little thing that disturbs me, the gun on your T-shirt. Could be replaced with a flash of lightning to represent thunder (just an idea).
Just to add up to the rolling "r" as a German native (... and loving Rammstein), it is/was actually a bit controversial as some people try to push Rammstein to the far right movement, which is actually not correct at all (actually I would tend to put them more kind of slightly "leftish"). One argument of these guys is that the rolling "r" is related to Adolf Hilter who rolled the "r" in a similar manner. This was potentially even triggered by the far right movement itself as these guys just look out for someone to put in front of their bandwagon. Bullshit anyway. "Sonne" ist one of my favorite songs, maybe "Ich tu dir weh" from the same show tops it by an inch ;-). Love to y'all.
to choose this song watch in the MSG was the worst choice you could do. because of the USA restrictions to use pyro and the location inside the MSG instead of a open stadium its the worst one live. i believe the version from the download festival was mentioned here and that is a good one. or any other live performance of this song in a stadium except for the USA. it seems that the USA is afraid of this band ^^
I like it, you sang along clearly and distinctly, I could understand it well. Actually, the r is not rolled in German, that's Till's trademark, he's the best at rolling the r.🤘💥👍👊
Most Germans speak a regional dialect at home and proper German elsewhere. Some dialects drill the “r” a bit harsher than others. Not like Till though.
Hey mate. Very new MEGA FAN here. Just two weeks ago in fact! Yep crazy hah?! I love metal but for some reason assumed the boys were thrash which I don't like so didn't check them out till two weeks ago when I thought f*ck it. Watched someone's reaction video of them and I am ADDICTED!! Best metal band in the world by a mile. Till is legendary with his voice. My fav song is Mein Teil. The riffs are epic! 🤘🤘

In southern germany we love to roll the "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" :)

Merci pour cette réaction. J'adore Rammstein. As-tu écouté "Adieu"? Elle est géniale.
I have not! Thanks for checking it out!
some words that require the rolled r in german (although not as extreme as Till does):
sprechen - speak
Trotz - defiance
Prost! - cheers!
Problem - problem
groß - great / big
frei - free
Trompete - trumpet
Brezel - pretzel
Brot - bread
rule of thumb: an "r" after a consonant has to be rolled, others may be rolled.
The fighter they made it for, Vitali Klitschko, is probably a little too busy to worry about the song right now, seeing how he's the Mayor of Kyiv.
Great reaction as always! :)

the general R is rolled in german but in the back of the throat so the roll is very short ... it is not like the russian front roll of the tongue

rolling "R" is normal in german, examp: rich-(r)eich, right-(r)ichtig...always "rolling" ,good reaction vids rooster :-) , greetings from berlin

till is the absolute pro to roll the R! no other German does that.
real rolling R is rather unusual in germany
Ze Rolling of ze "R" is more of a theatrical aspect, usually germans don't roll ze "R" in everyday live ... at least not that heavy

Just pretend its a water gun. :)
@@ThunderRooster That's also a viable idea. Let's add the water tank then!

You are probably right.
Normaly u do not use the R like Till is doing it. In The german Language u dont speak like this.
