I just watched Rammstein in Amerika, the documentum film, and there’s a clip with young Oliver just jumping up and down and having fun with a huge grin, and I almost fell out of my chair XD
Richard comments on "Six roaming the world". This is a reference to a German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm "Sechse kommen durch die ganze Welt". The six members of that group have very specialized talents which are not particularly useful on their own. In combination, however they get out of any tight spot encountered in the narrative, and all members share the glory equitably. This is the perfect metaphor for Rammstein...and life, in general. Each of us has a valuable contribution to make.
What i really like about Rammstein is not only the music but even more their history, how they made it against all odds, being from the DDR, being somewhat all misfits even in their enviroment, singing in german, beeing misunderstood by the media, having fear of the stage or being shy, having internal fights, drug addictions, etc etc but keeping it all together, democratic and still friends and more than that like family in the end... is amazing
There is no other band like Rammstein and there probably will never be again. Their music is not only good, the lyrics are poetic, the videos are captivating, and the stage shows are spectacular. Every aspect of the band is carefully crafted art. On top of all that they have found a way to keep the band going for decades without breaking up by having the band be a democracy and allowing everyone to have side projects.
Really love you reactions. Your comments, your thoughts. I enjoy this very much. And you make me laugh - Richard, The Vampire. It is so funny, everytime you use it, I can't breathe 😁
To me, it's pretty obvious that the Haifisch is a metaphor for the band. The statement in the chorus "And the shark has tears And they run from the face But the shark lives in the water So the tears you can't see" has once again reference to the big quarrel within the band members. The statement is, even if we sometimes argue "and tears flow", no one from outside will notice. PS: It is unusual in German to call the shark "Haifisch", but simply "Hai". In English, no one would say shark-fish either. Everyone knows that a shark is a fish.
The "Haifisch" is a reference to Bertold Brechts Dreigroschenoper or Beggars Opera. Look out for the Mecki Messer Song: Die Moritat von Mecki Messer: Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne Und die trägt er im Gesicht Und Macheath, der hat ein Messer Doch das Messer sieht man nicht.
There are a few more interesting tidbits on the Wikipedia page for the music video: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haifisch#Music_video "[...] As the video continues, Lindemann's coffin is lowered into the grave below the inscription "endlich allein" (German: "finally alone") and many scenarios are shown of how Lindemann died, which are all based on previous Rammstein videos: being beaten and set on fire by Christoph Schneider ("Du hast"), having his rope cut while rock climbing by Richard Kruspe ("Ohne dich"), having his oxygen pipe removed from his space suit by Oliver Riedel while on the moon ("Amerika"), and a fat Lindemann being suffocated with spaghetti force-fed to him by Christian Lorenz ("Keine Lust" and Seven). Lorenz also imagines Paul Landers being spanked by Lindemann in a Snow White costume ("Sonne"). [...]"
That whas an actor playing Manson. Would have been cool tho if he actually would have made an appearance in the video. BUT he did actually perform his song "The Beautiful People" with Rammstein. You can check that video out here on YT. Just type in "Rammstein feat Marilyn Manson - The beautiful People".
@@xsezz Marilyn Manson on meeting Till Lindemann for the first time: 'He came unannounced into my changing room. He was on fire. I couldn't even shake his hand because it was on fire too.'
That scene with Till fat and getting his face shoved in the spaghetti is an homage to a scene in the movie Se7en about the murders based around the seven deadly sins, in this case gluttony
Also I'm not sure on the Schneider-Jewish thing. Never heard mention of it, not that any of them really discuss their personal lives. Could just be for the video for some reason. But Till and Flake are Atheist and Paul doesn't bother with religion. But Richard is spiritual but not to a particular religion but is into all that karma and astrology stuff. And Oliver is a mute so no one knows about him hah
You’re right. Non of the band are practicing Jews nor any other religion really. However, I believe that it was mentioned a long time ago in the band’s early years that some of the members are ethnically Jewish. I don’t think it specified which members though. I want to say Paul is one of them as been reported that Paul’s parents fled Poland/Czech due to be in danger of persecution from the N**is. Of course that could all be made up. It has never been brought up again as far as I can tell.
All religious references are theatrical. Schneider is not Jewish, nor is Till a Catholic. But a priest presides over the funeral service, and a yarmulke is worn. Just a bit of fun.
@@Musingsofawitch Paul's parents are from a minority german speaking community in what was Tchecoslováquia and Poland, they were targeted after the war because they were german
If you have seen the Joker Movie you should check out "Wer weiß das schon" by Lindemann. There is a fanmade video with scenes from Joker and english lyrics. It's just perfect 🔥
Small criticism on the side. It is very unfortunate that you choose to interrupt the video several times whenever someone is talking. For people who have to read subtitles, this is not a problem. For people who understand what they are saying, this is a huge problem and very annoying. Otherwise you know that I like to be here, otherwise I wouldn't be here.
I do agree it's annoying when someone do it all the time, but my boi just do it on time and has precise comentaries and questions. The reaction would be shit if he didn't say anything about what's happening in the video.

That's really cool. I'm glad they realized only together could they have achieved this kind of success.

Yeah, they're like a married couple who passed through it all to get where they're at. :)

that fight scene was hilarious
Acting!
I love it how well you know Rammstein to catch all the details and eastereggs 😁 Great job!
Really love you reactions. Your comments, your thoughts. I enjoy this very much. And you make me laugh - Richard, The Vampire. It is so funny, everytime you use it, I can't breathe 😁
I'm very happy to hear that. Thank you! :)
The song name you asked in the end is Rammlied (RammAnthem), you should react to it in it's album version, it's a banger.
Yeah, that's the one. It was mentioned before but I forgot... I already checked out Rammlied, it was one of my first reactions to Rammstein. :)

The meaning behind the lyrics makes sense.
Great video! I like so much Haifisch's video. The song at the end is Rammlied. There's a live video, on MSG, amazing performance. Cheers
Thank you. I already checked out Rammlied. You can find it on my channel, if you wish to check it out.

I'm glad to have caught all the references, except the Se7en one, which I haven't seen in years.

Yeah, it was mentioned in the Official video, as well. I did see Se7en a loooong time ago and I don't remember much besides the box in the desert.
Again, I'm not agreat fan of reactions, but you do a great job ;) :)

I have not seen it yet but that video was recommended to me before and we will check it out. :)
The stamp licking scene is sex pure!!!!
I wonder when you complete Lifad album which song will be your favorite
I plan on doing a Tier List of all songs, once we're done with them. :)
next official video is Mein Land i think
You are correct.
Don't always be so mean to Oliver. 😉
I'm not... only on his "acting". :)
@@xsezz I know 😆 he is so shy, you can see that he feels uncomfortable
@@astridczettl4890 I'm not sure if he's shy. I always thought of him as more... private. Just my impression, of course.
