Those wings were heavy. Approx. 50 kg (110 lbs). That's one of the reasons why Till is walking so slowly. Imagine carrying them on your back AND singing flawlessly at the same time. He's a freaking LEGEND!
Im from the Balkans myself, but I lived in Germany for 3 decades. Germany has a epic history of poetry and science. In the 19th century you were not able to study mathematics, physics, medicine or chemistry without knowing german. Because all of the relevant literature was written in german.
Even Today i consider German to be needed to study these fields, i have a number of old books, all in German, and the tables in these books still apply.. even the ones from the 1920's!
I'm german. This is my favourite band since more than 20 years. I was on more than 20 concerts. The show is always amazing and very hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Your reaction on the lyrics and the layers in their meaning makes me smile. Disney were nothing without the Grimm Brothers and their fairy tales. We have in our history lots of poets. I'm surprised, that people forget it. Sorry for my english 🙈

16:15 This is one of my favourite Poems. In german of course more beautiful, cause it rhymes, but i love this piece, because his writing is so expressive: The Panther His eyes have got so weary of the bars going by, they can’t grasp anything else. He feels like there’s a thousand bars, a thousand bars and no world beyond. The soft tread of his strong, supple stride turns him in ever tighter circles, like the dance of force about a centre in which a great will stands, stunned. But now and then, the curtains over his eyes quietly lift… and an image enters, goes through his tense and silent limbs… and dies out in his heart. Original: Der Panther Im Jardin des Plantes, Paris Sein Blick ist vom Vorübergehn der Stäbe so müd geworden, daß er nichts mehr hält. Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe und hinter tausend Stäben keine Welt. Der weiche Gang geschmeidig starker Schritte, der sich im allerkleinsten Kreise dreht, ist wie ein Tanz von Kraft um eine Mitte, in der betäubt ein großer Wille steht. Nur manchmal schiebt der Vorhang der Pupille sich lautlos auf -. Dann geht ein Bild hinein, geht durch der Glieder angespannte Stille - und hört im Herzen auf zu sein. Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903
And everyone should..I saw them five times in 20 years and it's worth every cent you spend and it's never enough. You get so hooked and even if you go not being a fan afterwards you will be..this live shows are amazing as hell
Till Lindeman, the singer, is a fully qualified pyrotechnician and designs and helps produce all the firework effects. BTW he was also an Olympic standard swimmer and swam for the GDR in international events.
I've not long discovered this band. My mind is blown away. They are amazing. I'm a 56 year old woman and I love Rammstien. Du Hast is my favourite. I'm no stranger to heavy music, I love theory of a dead man. Chisel. And many more. I have a WIDE love of all music. Rammstein literally blows my mind.
Rammstein is one of the most famous metal bands and are living legends with the same line-up for nearly 30 years. They are considered the best live band in the world and the greatest rock/metal show om the road in these days, especially when it comes to showmenship, pyro and fire. Above all, Rammstein uses pyro quite differently than all other bands. Rammstein's music is a mixture of techno (electronic music) and metal (= industrial metal), although Rammsteins origins are in punk music. Rammstein concerts are a life time experience that you will never forget. Their videos are art but also often controversial. Rammstein also refers to classical German literature, e.g. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's. Several of their songs are related to controversial and taboo subjects such as sadomasochism, homosexuality, intersexuality, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, cannibalism, pyromania, religion and sexual violence. Also several of their songs are allegedly inspired by real-life events or politics. Rammstein lyrics are very deep and are also often used in school and universities around the world to learn German. There are people who learn German only because of Rammstein. Rammstein fans are considered to be the craziest and most fanatical fans in the world. In concerts from the hardcore fans all over the world it is expected that you can sing along with the German lyrics even if you don't speak German.
"...their songs are related to controversial and taboo subjects such as sadomasochism, homosexuality, intersexuality, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, cannibalism, pyromania, religion and sexual violence..." And that's just one song lol! Are we really "considered to be the craziest and most fanatical fans in the world"?
The band was named after the military base. Their first hit was called Rammstein and was about the well known plane tragedy during an airshow that went bad and planes crashed into the crowd. As for Till's physical condition, he used to be an olympic swimming, so you can still see he's very strong (look at his arms). The Engel wings harnass was so heavy that at a certain point they had to hook it up, because it wasn't doable over time. You can imagine when you're carrying so much weight, it puts enormous pressure on your chest, so getting enough breath to properly sing is almost impossible. Yeah, talking about dedication, this band has it, 200%.
Not after the base but after the tragedy. They were originally called "Rammstein Flugschau" for a short time. The second m in Rammstein was a mistake by them.
Also, I believe on top of the weight of the wings and all that requires, this was often played as the encore, at the end of a 2+ hour Rammstein Live show!!
@@cmb166 I think at some point for a while it was said, probably by PR people that it was actually translated as "Battering Ram", and the coincidence with the Ramstein airshow disaster was purely a coincidence... yeah nice try lol! As you say, and there are photos from that time ☮
I saw them last year. I drove 6 hrs by myself to get there cuz I knew I couldn't miss it. Literally life changing. Best live show on earth. No comparison. If you get the chance before they're done....GO
@@teresas8173 Yes but I would argue it should be the most recent production of the show, as they more than quadrupled their pyro, especially the off- stage jets, for this song. Lets get BP to check out their newer stuff!!
Deutschland is a masterpiece video. Is about how Mother Germany was through the centuries and how they are torn about the history. Ich tu dir weh is a great live video and song. He can actually sing in it. Love ur Du Hast reaction!! ♥️♥️
One of my favourites and a nice contrast to their usual performances is the piano version of Mein Herz Brennt. (Not that I dislike the original version mind you)
There is even a good video on youtube which explains the meaning of every scene from Deutschland, if they want to understand the deep meaning behind the lyrics and the video.
Deutschland. Discovered it couple weeks ago and love it. Until a month ago all I could have named if their songs was Du Hast and Amerika. Deutschland as a song is a masterpiece in my opinion. More deep lyrics and the video for it…left me speechless and looking up an explanation of the parts I didn’t understand!
I went to a Rammstein concert and it was the most exciting 2 hours of my life! You can feel the heat of the flames and the vibrations of the music in your chest.
Usually for the song "Engel" his wings are connected to some strings and then during the show he suddenly lifts off and hovers several meters above the stage. Just Imaging him, singing about not wanting to be an angel, while he is flying as flaming angel in the air above everyone... their live Performances are amazing and they change costume in between to match the songs and also the effects are matched with their song. Btw, you can still feel the heat of the flames 150ft from the stage. Imagine such a show going on for several hours. It's the greatest live Performance in the world, and everyone should see it live at least once. Only then you'll understand what a real live show is...
Fun fact - Till Eulenspiegel is who Till was named after! His father was a very well known author and poet so he thought it was a good name although growing up Till hated it since it was a very unpopular and weird name. On a sidenote, Till himself is a published poet and is releasing his third poetry book later this year.
You're absolutely right with Till Eulenspiegel... it's a german folklore writing and was published in the year 1510... Even today nobody knows who has been written it back in the days! Love the reactions on this channel and I'm happy come over your channel when I went down the Ren Rabbithole! Peace and Love from Germany ❤
@@someoneelse154Same with most childrens stories from all over the world. Read the original Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi and compare that to Disney's. Thats a pretty recent one and its already been kiddified. Children's stories were once brutal to teach lasting lessons, now they are softened so much that the lesson is easily missed
Just one word Rammstein !! Rammstein brings 77 truckloads of equipment to Belgrade, it takes six days just to set up the stage: The famous Germans will perform at Ušće on May 24 and 25, 2024! Otherwise, the singer is excellent, as are the musicians, top notch.
I'll second that. Most people comment on his base baritone but don't realise how well be can actually sing. The piano version in particular shows off his voice exceptionally well.
Imagine me, as a four year old little girl in the 90's, jumping on my bed and screaming to my parents in the living room (who heard that song) "Turn it louder. Louder!" 😂
The youngest member in the band is 52.. the lead singer is 60. Besides how jacked he is.. they have more energy and creativity than any other show I've ever seen lpl
Till's got a fantastic singing voice. Try "Ich tu dir weh" (live @ MSG), "Mein Herz brennt" (Piano version, live @ Hurricane Festival) or "Seemann" (2016 live performance) and you'll get a pretty good impression of his range.
When I was in their concert in Prague, a member of their technical team lost his life. They tributed this song to him and put lyrics on the screen and sang it without instruments with all the venue. Check the video out guys. It was truly touching.
My last concert before Covid was actually with Rammstein (in Oslo). You're right,, the pyro show was crazy good,, Even with the lenght of a soccer field to the stage the heat hit us in the face,,,The power hitting us was insane,,, probarbly one of the best shows I've seen live.
Till Lindemann is one of the greatest poets with the most amazing voice of our time. Rammstein is the only band I've followed loyally through my life. They're music just hits you in your soul
Just think a minute about how many technical things that have to be set up to allow all of this creativity to happen. The danger alone along with everything else that's involved with creating such an incredible experience is mind-blowing. Each person must be geniuses at what they as far as stage crews. How many people do they have setting up at these venues. The number must be huge. How many tractor trailers does it take to transport all of their equipment. Shout out to there crew. They are truly amazing
I really enjoy your reactions to Rammstein. There's SO MUCH more to see that will blow away what hasn't been blown away already. I recommend Sonne, Zeit, and Deutchland videos and Mein Teil live next. I have subscribed and can't wait. You have a great show.
Yes!!! You DID Engel!!!🔥🔥🔥love this performance... Thanks for checking it out.also,was pretty sure you were a military kid.Lol, because my one myself,and also growing up for awhile in Germany,I spotted it immediately.😂this band is F'n wild!!they always bring the pyrotechnics and the metal.and yes,Rammstien is an air force base if I remember correctly.lol you guys are fun to watch react! Have a great night\day (it's 12:36 here RN so whatever time it is when you read this)take care & ✌out dudes.🎶
At 7:26 you guys smiled and laughed exactly the same as I whenever I hear this track. There's something so comforting and warm when they drop back into the riff. You just smile. Keep it up!
Thanks for the great reaction 😃👍 you will have a lot more to discover 😎 I would recommend the official video of „Amerika“. Love this band since years ❤
I've seen these 3 times here in the UK. They are just amazing to watch. And you really do feel the heat. I've heard that a few members of the band worked in demolition. They actually do it themselves. Every song is a different act. I'm 68 years. Today in fact. And I love seeing bands like this. Music doesn't care how old you are are..💙
Saying "God knows I don´t want to be an Angel" while setting his wings on fire is epic and a deep meaningful gesture.. Fire is the symbol of "hell" the total opposite of being "an Angel" and what he don´t want to be. Also I like to mention that the whole German lyrics of that song "Engel" - but especially the chorus - are basically written in the style/wording of how classic German children fairytales are written...that´s why for instance "clouds go to sleep" and don´t just "disappear" and why the chorus is filled in the background with "child like voices" which unfortunately doesn´t come across that much in this life performance but at the studio recording of that song the chorus lines are solely sung by that female child like sounding voices mimicking Angel´s voices and Till just sings the last chorus line "God knows I don´t want to be an Angel" Well although their life performances are undisputable epic you also have to watch their videos of their songs, Bro.. For instance their video of the song "Deutschland" will blow your mind entirely, first of all because of the production quality because that video comes across like a high level movie production, and contextwise in behalf of "what´s going on there" it will totally confuse you, because I assume you are not familiar with 1000 years of German history and every second and every single scene is an abstract reference to a German history event .
*2000 years, but otherwise, yes. And please watch the whole video right to the very ende. Also regarding angels - as in the angels as portrayed biblically and in christianity, they are not the fluffy harp playing, lounging on clouds beings that people imagine them to be, often described as rather terrifying creatures, and are separate so there is another layer of meaning there too.
i think this is the first time i see a reaction video where people talk about what they see, discuss and argue . Not just the clickbait crap other channels do. Keep up the great content. This is what a true and honest reaction feels like !
As someone who was born and raised in Germany this is so awesome that you guys are getting into these dudes all of their stuff is great Deutschland is a great song with great story telling
So glad you came across Rammstein! So incredibly good, the shows and stage presence incredible. Yeah years ago I went through the translations and your right it’s far deeper than you expect!
Man their production level is on another planet. It is wild man. I know they have been around for 30 years or so and i have known about them for years. But i decided to learn German at the age of 35. It will be my first time learning a new language and i use Rammstein to help me. Not a heavy rock/metal guy but man these guys are insane
Till has a pretty wide range. He has a baritone voice that he uses a lot, but he can climb quite high on certain songs like Rammlied or Keine Lust. On some other note, to get an idea of how huge their shows are lately, their stage on the stadium tour requires like 1300 tons of freight dispatched on almost 80 trucks, it's 200ft wide, 100ft deep and the highest point is 120ft heigh. It takes 70 hours to build and requires a staff, locals included, of around 500 people.
If I recall correctly this was their third encore for this show. So imagine doing a full performance, plus, THEN putting on those wings and singing your heart out like that.
As they sell out every show and then people react and call them one hit wonders and compare them to Metallica.... oh and are shocked their lyrics tell a story... I did give them credit for saying hip hop artists run on stage and make zero sense.... because that's true. They stereotyped rock so .... I'll be honest too that's what I see at shows or the radio when hip hop comes on... 😳 also back to one hit wonders when rammstein never got played on the radio yet to this day they sell out every show.... they played at the LA coliseum 2 nights! Lol it's sad....
As a rammstein fan like me its nice to hear you guys appreciate rammsteins music, lyrics and show. I was 3 times at a concert and its absolutely amazing. The show, the songs, the crowd... its nice to see you guys understand so much even when you cant speak german because some of the understanding is hidden in german words that sometimes mean different things and can be interpreted differntly too
They are singing (in Engel) "God knows I don't want to be an angel." I heard this song/original music video goes about kid raping or something (panda eyes) The whole song is saying that if you're good you will be an angel and they are living behind the sunshine etc.
awsome reaction. I would recommend "Mein Tei"l und "Ich tu dir weh" as live Videos. And you guys probarly will like some of their new original Music Videos like "Zeit" " Deutschland" and so on.... I looking forward to the next Rammstein Video.
I love that you love this haha, great stuff! You should definitely listen to / watch the Deutschland song/video. Also, I believe Rammstein was playing at some festival aaages ago with like Xzibit and shit. In the early 00s
When I discover Rammstein I wanted to listen their songs without checking for lyrics translation until after. When I read the lyrics I was surprised with how deep, poetry and strong meaning are involved. Some songs (without understanding German) got me to tears. They have my respect and, I cannot wait to see them next month
Hey guy, really nice you found your way to rammstein. You were right, Ramstein (one m) was a US-airforce-base in germany. There was once a horrible flight-show accident, with a lot of dead visitors. The band is a east-german metal band. They named themselfes after this event. so this is the first double meaning in their history, I think. "Engel" means "angel". I first saw your first video of "du hast" you are right. There is a double meaning of this song. "Du hast" means at first "you have" but when you speak it in german it also means "you hate". so they are literally singing: you... (du) you hate... (du hast) you hate me (du hast mich), .. and so the friendly vow for the marriage becomes the opposite. They are in all of their lyrics most of the time like this double meaning. This band is very popular, because they pick always controversial topics (eating humans (they made a song about a german canibal), bondage, giving pain to others, various sex practices, a guy who hold a girl over years in his cellar (josef fritzl, an austrial sex abuser) ans a lot more offensive topics.) so there is a lot to explore of the meaning of their song. you have to know the german language and you have to know a lot of stories, they are reffering!
Rammstein's name is taken from a fatal crash during an air show at Ramstein Air Force Base. Their song with the same title is also about this accident. Till was a competitive swimmer as a kid he ranked high and was ine if the favorites at the jr Olympics in East Germany
Till has an amazing singing voice as well. German poetry / folklore is very rich and goes back deep into forgotten ages. Lord of the Rings was greatly inspired by German folklore as well (a.o. Wagner's Ring der Nibelungen, Nibelungenlied, etc.). Nibelungen are more or less what you would call Dwarfs in English.
I was in Germany in grade school in the mid 1960's at Hof Army-Air Base. We also did not have base housing and lived in a nearby village renting from a German family. I played little league and traveled to every other base that had a little league team in 1964, 65, and 66. I also went to local stores to buy food and beer. Have been listening to Rammstein for years. Listen to Sonne. Glad to find your channel.
Till has an enormous singing range...try " Ich tu dir weh" oder the piano version of " Mein Herz brennt" ...About the video.. he is the angel, standing alone in middle, all around him light and live while he is remaining lonely but beautiful and shining in the center
This is the first song I ever heard of this band back when I was 6 or 7 years old,... immediately fell in love with them (which is why this song, and probably "Sonne" [2001]are still my faves to this day).
Till is a true poet (even released some poetry books - some poems are the basis for songs, e.g. Schwarz from their newest Album Zeit) and theatrical performer. Since my very first Rammstein-gig (back in 1997) I‘ve been saying that these concerts are a kind of epic rock-opera. Glad you recognized all of this by watching/reacting to a couple of videos. 👍🏻🤗 While many songs of them have special show-moments, I‘d recommend to check out Mein Teil & Ich Tu Dir Weh. I‘m sure you‘ll love these too. 😊 And, just in case you want to expand on great metal acts from Germany, you might want to give Electric Callboy a go: They‘re on a huge roll right now and are touring the world pretty constantly with their feelgood bland of Metalcore (with lots of pop and techno elements). They always manage to put a smile on my face with their videos and you might never get out of that rabbit hole again. So, be cautious. 😉
Till is the greatest German lyrical genius of this time. Besides the song lyrics of Rammstein and his side project Lindemann, he has also published three volumes of poetry. I would like to recommend the song "Dalai Lama" to you. Here is a small sample. "Onwards, onwards into destruction We must live until we die And the child says to the father Don't you hear the thunder That's the king of all the winds He wants me to become his child"
"Dalai Lama" is based upon a Goethe poem I believe? I don't know which, and to what extent the inspiration etc., but I am sure I recall reading about it somewhere. it's a great track though, the lyrics and the story they tell. Till's lyrics though, throughout and consistently, are just so exceptionally good. The word play, the nuance and ambiguity, the depth of meaning, everything!
@@Jflonsn Correct. If you compare both in German you can see the similarities. But I'm not sure if you can see it, if you just compare the English translations.
@@t1r1g0n as a non German, I will be taking a look at both and will try and remember to report back! (Although unlikely to be today because my body is being a nuisance and not working properly) Thanks for the answers people ☺️
Saw Rammstein live on stage last summer. Been on a lot of different bands shows before, but Rammstein are just on another level. Would recommend watching the timelapse of their stage build just to understand how insanely huge the production is. Oh, and most of their videos are like cinema quality too. A favorite of min is Zeit, although Deutschland would be the more obvious rekommendation.
Great reaction, so nice to see someone who appreciates the lyrics above all. Side note: you don't need to shorten Rammstein to "Rammy" to make it hotter, it's hot enough as it is :D 🔥🔥🔥
The vocalist, Till Lindemann, has published three poetry books: Messer (knife), 100 Gedichte (100 poems) and In Stillen Nächten (in quiet nights). So no wonder he's Rammstein's songwriter. I live in Germany for 16 years and I'm fluent in the language, I can tell you his prose is exquisite. Not only in the songs he writes for the band, but also his poems are just pure art. He has such a mastery of the German language to write with word games like the song Haifisch that toys with the different versions of the verb halten, or the song Los that does the same with the double meaning of that word ("los" means "go" or "start", but also "less"), but he also can write stuff as beautiful and as dark at the same time (the song "Feuer und Wasser" for example, or "Stein zu Stein").
If you want another great performance, Mein Teil is a great live performance. If you want more range, Mein Herz Brennt or Deutschland is good. Deutschland has an amazing music video btw. Great content as always
You guys mentioned in the "Du Hast" video a battle axe mic, you should check out the live performance of "Mein Teil" the mic is a giant butcher knife... there is a few other surprises during the song as well but I don't want to spoil it...
Rammstein can get the attention of the audience even without fire, explosions, lights and all that stuff ! Look for "Rammlied" also at Madison Square Garden or "Mann gegen Mann" in Paris. So impressive !
Oh yeah, Till Eulenspiegel! ❤ One of my favorite stories is when Till Eulenspiegel went into an Inn and ordered food. When he smelled the delicious food from the kitchen, he got so excited he lost his hunger. He didn't actually eat what he got served, and when he was asked to pay for it he just grabbed his bag of coins, pulled out the right amount to pay for the meal, then slowly let them fall back in one by one and the coins made a clearly audible clanking noise when they hit each other in the bag. Then he got up and left. ^^
About the abstract lyrics: "The song means what the song means TO YOU" [Tuomas Holopainen, Nightwish] is a very fundamental vision to songwriting. Tuomas will NEVER say anything about his intentions with the lyrics, because it will always shatter someones personal interpretation. And that is where the magic is: when you can overlay your own thoughts and experiences on top of those lyrics. Then it all gets deep and personal to the listener.
Thx for great reaction! There are so many songs down this rabbit hole but you mentioned you wondered about his range. Check out "Ich tu der weh", also from MSG 😀. Love and respect from Sweden
If you'd like to hear a higher range from Till I'd recommend e.g. "Ich tu dir weh". If you want to see some great ""flames" try "Feuer frei"... (always for sure the live versions)
😊👍 to you! Yes, Rammstein is one those band's with their own style which is GREAT! I have not seen they never LIVE and About 10 years ago I saw their live videos by youtube.... But First cd I bought was "Sehnsucht" ...I bought it 1999 and after that I have listening them almost as passion as I love NW.... Great band, with great lyrics❤. Greetings form Finland! (by Nightwish fan since 1998)
Those wings were heavy. Approx. 50 kg (110 lbs). That's one of the reasons why Till is walking so slowly. Imagine carrying them on your back AND singing flawlessly at the same time. He's a freaking LEGEND!
That man is strong!
And u know him walking so slowly actually makes the whole thing more theatrical. Like u can feel the anguish. Till is amazing
plus it was the encore I think on that show, so Till had already been performing for over 2 hours!
Dude is like 60 years old too. He's amazing
The wings are amazing, but Till has the most expressive eyes. Dang.
Im from the Balkans myself, but I lived in Germany for 3 decades. Germany has a epic history of poetry and science. In the 19th century you were not able to study mathematics, physics, medicine or chemistry without knowing german. Because all of the relevant literature was written in german.
And they translated Russian philosophy to German to English/French/and Spanish and so on
Even Today i consider German to be needed to study these fields, i have a number of old books, all in German, and the tables in these books still apply.. even the ones from the 1920's!
I'm german. This is my favourite band since more than 20 years. I was on more than 20 concerts. The show is always amazing and very hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Your reaction on the lyrics and the layers in their meaning makes me smile.
Disney were nothing without the Grimm Brothers and their fairy tales. We have in our history lots of poets. I'm surprised, that people forget it.

This is one of my favourite Poems. In german of course more beautiful, cause it rhymes, but i love this piece, because his writing is so expressive:
The Panther
His eyes have got so weary of the bars
going by, they can’t grasp anything else.
He feels like there’s a thousand bars,
a thousand bars and no world beyond.
The soft tread of his strong, supple stride
turns him in ever tighter circles,
like the dance of force about a centre
in which a great will stands, stunned.
But now and then, the curtains over his eyes
quietly lift… and an image enters,
goes through his tense and silent limbs…
and dies out in his heart.
Original:
Der Panther
Im Jardin des Plantes, Paris
Sein Blick ist vom Vorübergehn der Stäbe
so müd geworden, daß er nichts mehr hält.
Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe
und hinter tausend Stäben keine Welt.
Der weiche Gang geschmeidig starker Schritte,
der sich im allerkleinsten Kreise dreht,
ist wie ein Tanz von Kraft um eine Mitte,
in der betäubt ein großer Wille steht.
Nur manchmal schiebt der Vorhang der Pupille
sich lautlos auf -. Dann geht ein Bild hinein,
geht durch der Glieder angespannte Stille -
und hört im Herzen auf zu sein.
Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903
This is everyones bucket list to go to a rammstein concert
And everyone should..I saw them five times in 20 years and it's worth every cent you spend and it's never enough. You get so hooked and even if you go not being a fan afterwards you will be..this live shows are amazing as hell
Till Lindeman, the singer, is a fully qualified pyrotechnician and designs and helps produce all the firework effects. BTW he was also an Olympic standard swimmer and swam for the GDR in international events.

Rammstein - Sonne
Rammstein is one of the most famous metal bands and are living legends with the same line-up for nearly 30 years. They are considered the best live band in the world and the greatest rock/metal show om the road in these days, especially when it comes to showmenship, pyro and fire. Above all, Rammstein uses pyro quite differently than all other bands.
Rammstein's music is a mixture of techno (electronic music) and metal (= industrial metal), although Rammsteins origins are in punk music. Rammstein concerts are a life time experience that you will never forget. Their videos are art but also often controversial.
Rammstein also refers to classical German literature, e.g. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's. Several of their songs are related to controversial and taboo subjects such as sadomasochism, homosexuality, intersexuality, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, cannibalism, pyromania, religion and sexual violence. Also several of their songs are allegedly inspired by real-life events or politics. Rammstein lyrics are very deep and are also often used in school and universities around the world to learn German. There are people who learn German only because of Rammstein. Rammstein fans are considered to be the craziest and most fanatical fans in the world. In concerts from the hardcore fans all over the world it is expected that you can sing along with the German lyrics even if you don't speak German.
"...their songs are related to controversial and taboo subjects such as sadomasochism, homosexuality, intersexuality, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, cannibalism, pyromania, religion and sexual violence..." And that's just one song lol!
Are we really "considered to be the craziest and most fanatical fans in the world"?
They are the 😂
Eigentlich, wenn man sich die alten Video's von den Anfängen anschaut, wo sie noch nicht bekannt waren, ist es eigentlich eine Punk Band.
The band was named after the military base. Their first hit was called Rammstein and was about the well known plane tragedy during an airshow that went bad and planes crashed into the crowd.
As for Till's physical condition, he used to be an olympic swimming, so you can still see he's very strong (look at his arms). The Engel wings harnass was so heavy that at a certain point they had to hook it up, because it wasn't doable over time. You can imagine when you're carrying so much weight, it puts enormous pressure on your chest, so getting enough breath to properly sing is almost impossible.
Yeah, talking about dedication, this band has it, 200%.
Not after the base but after the tragedy. They were originally called "Rammstein Flugschau" for a short time. The second m in Rammstein was a mistake by them.
@@cmb166 the song "rammstein" ist a requiem for the victims
th-cam.com/video/_sM2sKk4DPM/w-d-xo.html
Also, I believe on top of the weight of the wings and all that requires, this was often played as the encore, at the end of a 2+ hour Rammstein Live show!!
@@cmb166 I think at some point for a while it was said, probably by PR people that it was actually translated as "Battering Ram", and the coincidence with the Ramstein airshow disaster was purely a coincidence... yeah nice try lol! As you say, and there are photos from that time ☮
@@cmb166 Ah ok, I got it partially right then, thanks for the update.
I saw them last year. I drove 6 hrs by myself to get there cuz I knew I couldn't miss it. Literally life changing. Best live show on earth. No comparison. If you get the chance before they're done....GO
I totally agree a show on a whole other level Rammstein and Nightwish live shows are from another world
"Sonne" and "Deutschland" next would be great, official music video for both
Deutschland. But actually, for these guys, if we're going "official" videos, I would go with "Stripped".
Deutschland. Best video production of this century, any genre.
Sonne live is great too
I like the "stripped" suggestion but in that case would encourage you to listen to the original Depeche Mode version for comparison.
@@teresas8173 Yes but I would argue it should be the most recent production of the show, as they more than quadrupled their pyro, especially the off- stage jets, for this song. Lets get BP to check out their newer stuff!!
Kunst muss anecken und provozieren. Rammstein ein Gesamtkunstwerk und Lindemann ein Ausnahmekünstler. Chapeau !
Deutschland is a masterpiece video. Is about how Mother Germany was through the centuries and how they are torn about the history.
Ich tu dir weh is a great live video and song. He can actually sing in it.
Love ur Du Hast reaction!! ♥️♥️
One of my favourites and a nice contrast to their usual performances is the piano version of Mein Herz Brennt. (Not that I dislike the original version mind you)
An epic video that rivals movies.
There is even a good video on youtube which explains the meaning of every scene from Deutschland, if they want to understand the deep meaning behind the lyrics and the video.
Deutschland. Discovered it couple weeks ago and love it. Until a month ago all I could have named if their songs was Du Hast and Amerika. Deutschland as a song is a masterpiece in my opinion. More deep lyrics and the video for it…left me speechless and looking up an explanation of the parts I didn’t understand!
In my opinion Deutschland is the best video ever made. Truly a masterpiece.
I went to a Rammstein concert and it was the most exciting 2 hours of my life! You can feel the heat of the flames and the vibrations of the music in your chest.
Usually for the song "Engel" his wings are connected to some strings and then during the show he suddenly lifts off and hovers several meters above the stage. Just Imaging him, singing about not wanting to be an angel, while he is flying as flaming angel in the air above everyone... their live Performances are amazing and they change costume in between to match the songs and also the effects are matched with their song. Btw, you can still feel the heat of the flames 150ft from the stage. Imagine such a show going on for several hours. It's the greatest live Performance in the world, and everyone should see it live at least once. Only then you'll understand what a real live show is...
that's now. This was the only time this was done.
Till used to be a competitive swimmer in his youth (european championship level). So lots of muscles and loads of breath.
Fun fact - Till Eulenspiegel is who Till was named after! His father was a very well known author and poet so he thought it was a good name although growing up Till hated it since it was a very unpopular and weird name.
On a sidenote, Till himself is a published poet and is releasing his third poetry book later this year.
You're absolutely right with Till Eulenspiegel... it's a german folklore writing and was published in the year 1510... Even today nobody knows who has been written it back in the days!
Love the reactions on this channel and I'm happy come over your channel when I went down the Ren Rabbithole!
Peace and Love from Germany ❤
the misadventures and pranks of the German peasant folk hero Till Eulenspiegel
They are different versions of Till Eulenspiegel. The first are more explizit, the new one are kidsfriendly
@@someoneelse154Same with most childrens stories from all over the world. Read the original Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi and compare that to Disney's. Thats a pretty recent one and its already been kiddified. Children's stories were once brutal to teach lasting lessons, now they are softened so much that the lesson is easily missed
Vom Ohr geht es direkt in mein Herz❣️👍👍👍
Just one word Rammstein !! Rammstein brings 77 truckloads of equipment to Belgrade, it takes six days just to set up the stage: The famous Germans will perform at Ušće on May 24 and 25, 2024! Otherwise, the singer is excellent, as are the musicians, top notch.
Mein Herz Brennt! You want to hear Till sing. Start with the official video and then the official piano version.
I'll second that. Most people comment on his base baritone but don't realise how well be can actually sing. The piano version in particular shows off his voice exceptionally well.
Yes!
Absolutely. Listen, and then read the lyrics, and the backstory of the lyrics.
Who knows, that's also very nice.
Imagine me, as a four year old little girl in the 90's, jumping on my bed and screaming to my parents in the living room (who heard that song) "Turn it louder. Louder!" 😂
The youngest member in the band is 52.. the lead singer is 60. Besides how jacked he is.. they have more energy and creativity than any other show I've ever seen lpl
Till's got a fantastic singing voice. Try "Ich tu dir weh" (live @ MSG), "Mein Herz brennt" (Piano version, live @ Hurricane Festival) or "Seemann" (2016 live performance) and you'll get a pretty good impression of his range.
'Ohne Diche' is also a great song with proper singing.
Mein Herz Brennt Piano version is great even the Music video version.
Zeit!
These are the Best songs
When I was in their concert in Prague, a member of their technical team lost his life. They tributed this song to him and put lyrics on the screen and sang it without instruments with all the venue. Check the video out guys. It was truly touching.
Bro...I was stationed in Trier Germany...spent my combat recovery at the Air Force Base...played Soccer for our Unit. Nice to meet you.
My last concert before Covid was actually with Rammstein (in Oslo). You're right,, the pyro show was crazy good,, Even with the lenght of a soccer field to the stage the heat hit us in the face,,,The power hitting us was insane,,, probarbly one of the best shows I've seen live.
A beautiful example of Till's vocal range can be heard in "Seemann". And I love the lyrics of "Amour, Amour".
Ja "Amour, Amour" ist klasse. Das richtige Lied für'ne Beerdigung
Till Lindemann is one of the greatest poets with the most amazing voice of our time. Rammstein is the only band I've followed loyally through my life. They're music just hits you in your soul
His voice is simply incredible. I always get a shiver down my spine.
Just think a minute about how many technical things that have to be set up to allow all of this creativity to happen. The danger alone along with everything else that's involved with creating such an incredible experience is mind-blowing. Each person must be geniuses at what they as far as stage crews. How many people do they have setting up at these venues. The number must be huge. How many tractor trailers does it take to transport all of their equipment. Shout out to there crew. They are truly amazing
I really enjoy your reactions to Rammstein. There's SO MUCH more to see that will blow away what hasn't been blown away already. I recommend Sonne, Zeit, and Deutchland videos and Mein Teil live next. I have subscribed and can't wait. You have a great show.
Yes!!! You DID Engel!!!🔥🔥🔥love this performance...
Thanks for checking it out.also,was pretty sure you were a military kid.Lol, because my one myself,and also growing up for awhile in Germany,I spotted it immediately.😂this band is F'n wild!!they always bring the pyrotechnics and the metal.and yes,Rammstien is an air force base if I remember correctly.lol you guys are fun to watch react! Have a great night\day (it's 12:36 here RN so whatever time it is when you read this)take care & ✌out dudes.🎶
They did a show in Finland, it took almost 2 weeks to buil the show. They tour with 70 semi trucks and 15 000 gallons of fuel for effects!
At 7:26 you guys smiled and laughed exactly the same as I whenever I hear this track. There's something so comforting and warm when they drop back into the riff. You just smile. Keep it up!
Thanks for the great reaction 😃👍 you will have a lot more to discover 😎 I would recommend the official video of „Amerika“. Love this band since years ❤
i have to admit that their performance from the early years with the cage burning up is way better
I've seen these 3 times here in the UK. They are just amazing to watch. And you really do feel the heat. I've heard that a few members of the band worked in demolition. They actually do it themselves. Every song is a different act. I'm 68 years. Today in fact. And I love seeing bands like this. Music doesn't care how old you are are..💙
Chorus:
And when the clouds go to sleep
You can see us in the sky
We are afraid and are alone.
God knows i'm not gonna be an angel
Saying "God knows I don´t want to be an Angel" while setting his wings on fire is epic and a deep meaningful gesture..
Fire is the symbol of "hell" the total opposite of being "an Angel" and what he don´t want to be.
Also I like to mention that the whole German lyrics of that song "Engel" - but especially the chorus - are basically written in the style/wording of how classic German children fairytales are written...that´s why for instance "clouds go to sleep" and don´t just "disappear" and why the chorus is filled in the background with "child like voices" which unfortunately doesn´t come across that much in this life performance but at the studio recording of that song the chorus lines are solely sung by that female child like sounding voices mimicking Angel´s voices and Till just sings the last chorus line "God knows I don´t want to be an Angel"
Well although their life performances are undisputable epic you also have to watch their videos of their songs, Bro..
For instance their video of the song "Deutschland" will blow your mind entirely, first of all because of the production quality because that video comes across like a high level movie production, and contextwise in behalf of "what´s going on there" it will totally confuse you, because I assume you are not familiar with 1000 years of German history and every second and every single scene is an abstract reference to a German history event .
*2000 years, but otherwise, yes.
And please watch the whole video right to the very ende.
Also regarding angels - as in the angels as portrayed biblically and in christianity, they are not the fluffy harp playing, lounging on clouds beings that people imagine them to be, often described as rather terrifying creatures, and are separate so there is another layer of meaning there too.
@@theinvisibleneonrainbowzeb2567 Good comment! There's a reason angels often start their messages with 'Don't be afraid':)
"Engel" werden in einschlägigen Kreisen auch gefangene, mißbrauchte Kinder genannt
An angel that didn't wanted to be an angel and was sent down from heaven by god and while he was falling his wings burnt... is Lucifer
i think this is the first time i see a reaction video where people talk about what they see, discuss and argue . Not just the clickbait crap other channels do. Keep up the great content. This is what a true and honest reaction feels like !
As someone who was born and raised in Germany this is so awesome that you guys are getting into these dudes all of their stuff is great Deutschland is a great song with great story telling
So glad you came across Rammstein! So incredibly good, the shows and stage presence incredible. Yeah years ago I went through the translations and your right it’s far deeper than you expect!
Everything from Rammstein is great. Zeit , Angst, Zick Zack, Dickie Ritten, Adieu are their newest masterpiece videos from 2022.
So happy yall did more ramstein
Man their production level is on another planet. It is wild man. I know they have been around for 30 years or so and i have known about them for years. But i decided to learn German at the age of 35. It will be my first time learning a new language and i use Rammstein to help me. Not a heavy rock/metal guy but man these guys are insane
You can choose any video or show blindfold. It will be gold. They are that good
Yep, many songs from Rammstein are quite deep and poetic. And many of their vids are reflecting that.👍
You guys‘s reactions fire me up, I love that you dive into more of the lyrical stuff!
My first sighting of Rammstein was in the movie XXX, "Feuer Frei" ...Open fire! 🔥
...was hooked immediately.
So happy that you are doing another Rammstein. 🥰🥰🥰 🇨🇦
Till has a pretty wide range. He has a baritone voice that he uses a lot, but he can climb quite high on certain songs like Rammlied or Keine Lust. On some other note, to get an idea of how huge their shows are lately, their stage on the stadium tour requires like 1300 tons of freight dispatched on almost 80 trucks, it's 200ft wide, 100ft deep and the highest point is 120ft heigh. It takes 70 hours to build and requires a staff, locals included, of around 500 people.
If I recall correctly this was their third encore for this show. So imagine doing a full performance, plus, THEN putting on those wings and singing your heart out like that.
As they sell out every show and then people react and call them one hit wonders and compare them to Metallica.... oh and are shocked their lyrics tell a story... I did give them credit for saying hip hop artists run on stage and make zero sense.... because that's true. They stereotyped rock so .... I'll be honest too that's what I see at shows or the radio when hip hop comes on... 😳 also back to one hit wonders when rammstein never got played on the radio yet to this day they sell out every show.... they played at the LA coliseum 2 nights! Lol it's sad....
As a rammstein fan like me its nice to hear you guys appreciate rammsteins music, lyrics and show. I was 3 times at a concert and its absolutely amazing. The show, the songs, the crowd... its nice to see you guys understand so much even when you cant speak german because some of the understanding is hidden in german words that sometimes mean different things and can be interpreted differntly too
They are singing (in Engel)
"God knows I don't want to be an angel."
I heard this song/original music video goes about kid raping or something (panda eyes)
The whole song is saying that if you're good you will be an angel and they are living behind the sunshine etc.
It's a thing in Germany to call young kids angels/cute angels etc. So the lyrics goes a lot deeper
awsome reaction. I would recommend "Mein Tei"l und "Ich tu dir weh" as live Videos. And you guys probarly will like some of their new original Music Videos like "Zeit" " Deutschland" and so on.... I looking forward to the next Rammstein Video.
I love that you love this haha, great stuff! You should definitely listen to / watch the Deutschland song/video.
Also, I believe Rammstein was playing at some festival aaages ago with like Xzibit and shit. In the early 00s
When I discover Rammstein I wanted to listen their songs without checking for lyrics translation until after. When I read the lyrics I was surprised with how deep, poetry and strong meaning are involved. Some songs (without understanding German) got me to tears. They have my respect and, I cannot wait to see them next month
Hey guy, really nice you found your way to rammstein. You were right, Ramstein (one m) was a US-airforce-base in germany. There was once a horrible flight-show accident, with a lot of dead visitors. The band is a east-german metal band. They named themselfes after this event. so this is the first double meaning in their history, I think.
"Engel" means "angel". I first saw your first video of "du hast" you are right. There is a double meaning of this song.
"Du hast" means at first "you have" but when you speak it in german it also means "you hate". so they are literally singing: you... (du) you hate... (du hast) you hate me (du hast mich), .. and so the friendly vow for the marriage becomes the opposite.
They are in all of their lyrics most of the time like this double meaning. This band is very popular, because they pick always controversial topics (eating humans (they made a song about a german canibal), bondage, giving pain to others, various sex practices, a guy who hold a girl over years in his cellar (josef fritzl, an austrial sex abuser) ans a lot more offensive topics.) so there is a lot to explore of the meaning of their song. you have to know the german language and you have to know a lot of stories, they are reffering!
Rammstein's name is taken from a fatal crash during an air show at Ramstein Air Force Base. Their song with the same title is also about this accident. Till was a competitive swimmer as a kid he ranked high and was ine if the favorites at the jr Olympics in East Germany
East Germany
@@julianedreiig4468 thank you for pointing that out. I knew that I mis-typed. I fixed it.
Great reaction!
Till has an amazing singing voice as well. German poetry / folklore is very rich and goes back deep into forgotten ages. Lord of the Rings was greatly inspired by German folklore as well (a.o. Wagner's Ring der Nibelungen, Nibelungenlied, etc.). Nibelungen are more or less what you would call Dwarfs in English.
He's been wearing those wings since their first shows in 98. This song is a classic !
Lead singer was a olympic swimmer for East Germany, so he is in great shape. Unfortunately he was kicked off the team for breaking curfew.
and sneaking out and buying a porn mag!
I was in Germany in grade school in the mid 1960's at Hof Army-Air Base. We also did not have base housing and lived in a nearby village renting from a German family. I played little league and traveled to every other base that had a little league team in 1964, 65, and 66. I also went to local stores to buy food and beer. Have been listening to Rammstein for years. Listen to Sonne. Glad to find your channel.
Till has an enormous singing range...try " Ich tu dir weh" oder the piano version of " Mein Herz brennt" ...About the video.. he is the angel, standing alone in middle, all around him light and live while he is remaining lonely but beautiful and shining in the center
The best Band on this Earth. Lg from Germany 😅😅🥰🥰👋👋👋
Please watch the music videos to Deutschland, Zeit or Adiue.. or ich tu dir weh live - he is singing pretty high there 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Zeit seconded pls thank you :) Could be good to do on an English subtitle version.
great reaction to a great performance of the group - greetings from Bavaria
The Wings are made of Nu Metal!
I lived on Rammstein AFB. This band is insane!
If u want song what have like ”vocals” then ”Ich tu dir weh live from msg” is great :)
This is the first song I ever heard of this band back when I was 6 or 7 years old,... immediately fell in love with them (which is why this song, and probably "Sonne" [2001]are still my faves to this day).
Till is a true poet (even released some poetry books - some poems are the basis for songs, e.g. Schwarz from their newest Album Zeit) and theatrical performer. Since my very first Rammstein-gig (back in 1997) I‘ve been saying that these concerts are a kind of epic rock-opera. Glad you recognized all of this by watching/reacting to a couple of videos. 👍🏻🤗
While many songs of them have special show-moments, I‘d recommend to check out Mein Teil & Ich Tu Dir Weh. I‘m sure you‘ll love these too. 😊
And, just in case you want to expand on great metal acts from Germany, you might want to give Electric Callboy a go: They‘re on a huge roll right now and are touring the world pretty constantly with their feelgood bland of Metalcore (with lots of pop and techno elements). They always manage to put a smile on my face with their videos and you might never get out of that rabbit hole again. So, be cautious. 😉
I'm glad u finally got put on to this !
Till is the greatest German lyrical genius of this time. Besides the song lyrics of Rammstein and his side project Lindemann, he has also published three volumes of poetry.
I would like to recommend the song "Dalai Lama" to you.
Here is a small sample.
"Onwards, onwards into destruction
We must live until we die
And the child says to the father
Don't you hear the thunder
That's the king of all the winds
He wants me to become his child"
"Dalai Lama" is based upon a Goethe poem I believe? I don't know which, and to what extent the inspiration etc., but I am sure I recall reading about it somewhere.
it's a great track though, the lyrics and the story they tell.
Till's lyrics though, throughout and consistently, are just so exceptionally good. The word play, the nuance and ambiguity, the depth of meaning, everything!
@@theinvisibleneonrainbowzeb2567 its's inspiredby Goethes Erlkönig
@@Jflonsn Correct. If you compare both in German you can see the similarities. But I'm not sure if you can see it, if you just compare the English translations.
@@Jflonsn thank you, I can look into this further now
@@t1r1g0n as a non German, I will be taking a look at both and will try and remember to report back!
(Although unlikely to be today because my body is being a nuisance and not working properly)
Thanks for the answers people ☺️
Its my favourite Song from Rammstein. I saw Rammstein at Wacken Festival and they are MIND blowin'awesome.
Saw Rammstein live on stage last summer. Been on a lot of different bands shows before, but Rammstein are just on another level. Would recommend watching the timelapse of their stage build just to understand how insanely huge the production is.
Oh, and most of their videos are like cinema quality too. A favorite of min is Zeit, although Deutschland would be the more obvious rekommendation.
Bleach Pegasus, you are my favorite reaction channel. I like that you a bit deeper in the lyrics.
Great reaction, so nice to see someone who appreciates the lyrics above all.
Side note: you don't need to shorten Rammstein to "Rammy" to make it hotter, it's hot enough as it is :D 🔥🔥🔥
The vocalist, Till Lindemann, has published three poetry books: Messer (knife), 100 Gedichte (100 poems) and In Stillen Nächten (in quiet nights). So no wonder he's Rammstein's songwriter. I live in Germany for 16 years and I'm fluent in the language, I can tell you his prose is exquisite. Not only in the songs he writes for the band, but also his poems are just pure art. He has such a mastery of the German language to write with word games like the song Haifisch that toys with the different versions of the verb halten, or the song Los that does the same with the double meaning of that word ("los" means "go" or "start", but also "less"), but he also can write stuff as beautiful and as dark at the same time (the song "Feuer und Wasser" for example, or "Stein zu Stein").
If you want another great performance, Mein Teil is a great live performance. If you want more range, Mein Herz Brennt or Deutschland is good. Deutschland has an amazing music video btw. Great content as always
You guys mentioned in the "Du Hast" video a battle axe mic, you should check out the live performance of "Mein Teil" the mic is a giant butcher knife... there is a few other surprises during the song as well but I don't want to spoil it...
Rammstein can get the attention of the audience even without fire, explosions, lights and all that stuff !
Look for "Rammlied" also at Madison Square Garden or "Mann gegen Mann" in Paris.
So impressive !
Yeah Till Eulenspiegel 👍🏻 great reaction 😎 greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
You absolutely should react to Deutschland next! It is SO Good and you Get more og Till Lindemans vocal range.
The guy with the glasses is amazing. His analysis is spot on.
Please, Mein hertz brennt, piano version. Out of this world.
Sonne from the 2022 tour is unbelievable. I saw them in chicago and just fucking amazing
This is epic
Oh yeah, Till Eulenspiegel! ❤
One of my favorite stories is when Till Eulenspiegel went into an Inn and ordered food. When he smelled the delicious food from the kitchen, he got so excited he lost his hunger. He didn't actually eat what he got served, and when he was asked to pay for it he just grabbed his bag of coins, pulled out the right amount to pay for the meal, then slowly let them fall back in one by one and the coins made a clearly audible clanking noise when they hit each other in the bag. Then he got up and left. ^^
Beware, not all Rammstein lyrics are beautiful poetry.
They can be pretty in your face.
True, but Dicke Titten is not at all clear.😂
I love the words in minute 17! Great video
About the abstract lyrics: "The song means what the song means TO YOU" [Tuomas Holopainen, Nightwish] is a very fundamental vision to songwriting. Tuomas will NEVER say anything about his intentions with the lyrics, because it will always shatter someones personal interpretation. And that is where the magic is: when you can overlay your own thoughts and experiences on top of those lyrics. Then it all gets deep and personal to the listener.
Thx for great reaction! There are so many songs down this rabbit hole but you mentioned you wondered about his range. Check out "Ich tu der weh", also from MSG 😀. Love and respect from Sweden
Look at DEUTSCHLAND , ANGST , ADIUE , ZEIT , Welcome in the Beautiful Rabitthole. 🇩🇪🇺🇸🙋🏼♂️
People are right to recommend "Deutschland" as the next reaction, but "Angst" would be great for later. I love that video and the message so much.
If you'd like to hear a higher range from Till I'd recommend e.g. "Ich tu dir weh". If you want to see some great ""flames" try "Feuer frei"... (always for sure the live versions)
😊👍 to you! Yes, Rammstein is one those band's with their own style which is GREAT! I have not seen they never LIVE and About 10 years ago I saw their live videos by youtube.... But First cd I bought was "Sehnsucht" ...I bought it 1999 and after that I have listening them almost as passion as I love NW.... Great band, with great lyrics❤. Greetings form Finland! (by Nightwish fan since 1998)
