So good to see you back and please don't apologize for taking time off from the channel for yourself. Self-care is so important. Re Till vs mike...both Paul's and Richard's mikes are mounted on spring-loaded mike stands so they can be moved out of their way. Till has, as already been noted, no problem with self-harming - and his bandmates are well of that and keep a close eye on him. As for the fire masks, who doesn't want one?! lol If you watch the original video, you can see that the masks actually clear their faces by an inch or so, so they can continue to breathe and sing. I think the flames themselves are operated by foot switches. Have to wait another year to see them, but I'm still going to go when they hit Montreal!
As for who comes up with the pyro ideas it's a bit of a combination. In the early days back in 94-95, they would be very amateurish though impressive nonetheless. They'd literally pour lighter fluid round the stage and set it on fire. But after an accident in which a burning sign prop fell from above the stage into the crowd, Till went with a big professional special effects team FFP to handle their pyro and Till would train alongside them. They've been using FFP ever since. From an interview with the head of their effects team- Nicolai Sabottka “I usually present what’s new to the band during pre-production and let them get carried away with ideas,” he explains. “Then we make sure what can be achieved in a secure way and start testing shortly after.” And like a band practices for a large-scale tour, FFP’s facility in Berlin includes a full-scale rehearsal studio. “That makes things very convenient,” says Nicolai. “Every new stunt is very ambitious at the time we develop it. I’d say all the body burns, flames and pyrotechnics attached to performers are the most thrilling.”
As I once red, they had also someone at this concert with the accident, but it still went wrong, so Till decided it to do it in another way next time. So I think it was not the Band alone who built everything up, beside, at least from an actress/directing point of state I can tell, that you can not do everything on stage. Also we have to follow a health and safety guideline and they would have never let the band on the stage, if they would have done everything on their own. The previous concerts where often in clubs, so they did not say anything and just did it. 😉
Imagine being their creative person, and coming up with ideas; and you just know that however insane it is, Rammstein will just go "Das ist eine gute ide, lass uns es tun".
Flake wrote a book about Rammstein and their shows. And there he described, that Till used to "kill" a microphone on every show. Sometimes he had a more or less open wound for weeks. There is one live video where he bites into his finger for some reason and you could see immediately the blood running down his arm. This guy seems to have another relationship to pain than we other guys.
8:59 usually everyone of Rammstein comes up with the ideas to improve the stage performance. Here's a fun fact: It actually was Rammstein creating the word "Drakaris" to anounce the fire-breathing in the late 90s, long before J.R.R. Martin started to write his novels.
Hey you are back. And with you is Rammstein... Bang Bang 😁 0:40 good Start 🤣 4:02 yeah, but that doesn't bother him. On the contrary, he loves pain. He likes to do that to himself. Pokes holes in his cheek, cuts his body and all that stuff. You know 😉 9:06 all Till. That is Till's mindset😁 You look well rested too.
Wow, nice to see you reacting to Rammstein again after a long time..according to the keyboarder Flake, it was Till's idea to wear these masks for the song (Flake mentioned that in one of his books). 🔥
@@dianafromgermany1513 I know and that is why I feel so connected to them, although they had more luck. Greetings from a painter, script-writer, actress, photographer, dancer, editor, composer (jus starting off in it) and much more. But I am a one-woman-show and they have the hardest card in this game.
@@annegretkasten6277 Ja, vor allem wenn man Flakes Buch gelesen hat, weiss man es, aber auch weil Till mal in einem Interview sagte, dass er einst umgerechnet 10 Euro im Monat verdiente. Solchen Leuten vergönne ich es immer. Wenn dann "Gewisse dastehen", wie Paris Hilton und Co und von deren Leistungen erzählen, vergessen die immer zu sagen, dass deren Nachname die Türe geöffnet hat. Ich habe sowas eben nicht und komme auch noch aus einer Arbeiterfamilie. Was soll's aber zurück zum "normalen Job" treibt mich keiner mehr. Habe schon Zuviel von MEINER Energie and solche Unternehmen verschwendet! Nicht nur an die, sondern auch an ANDERE, fuer die ALLES selbstverständlich war. Da bleibe ich lieber alleine mit meinen Tieren, als dass ich je wieder solchen Leuten meine Energie gebe. Die sollten sich ihren Dreck selber machen. Schönen Tag noch. ❤
Unfortunately, Bo reacted to the wrong video. He watched the official video instead. So he got a bit of a whipping. Out of all their songs with official videos, for first time reactions, should only go for Ohne Dich, Keine Lust, Mein Herz Brennt (both versions) and Deutschland. For the rest go with the live version when applicable Auslander and Radio official videos are also better than the live versions, mostly due to live audio on those songs not being too good yet to do the songs justice. But they always get taken down. Mein Land also has an official video and no live performance but that gets taken down sometimes to Also, welcome back 😁
Welcome back! If I'm remembering Flake's book correctly, Till created the fire mask prototype himself, but this was a long time ago and I doubt even then the prototype would have been used in a concert after the 100 Jahre incident during Heirate Mich.
Hi there! It‘s so great that you are back, cause your reactions are the best by far! They are competent and funny and personal all at the same time. I looked up which Rammstein songs you reacted to already and put the best remaining songs into something like a „wish list“ which may also help you to chose the next ones. Here they are: (1) PUPPE („doll“, slowly building, very intense song; live aus Gelsenkirchen 2019); (2) SONNE („sun“, powerful, epic song, download festival 2016); (3) OHNE DICH („without you“; slow, soft and emotional, official video please!); (4) WAS ICH LIEBE („What I love“, very beautiful song, perfect build-up; Rostock 2019); (5) WOLLT IHR DAS BETT IN FLAMMEN SEHEN? („You want to see the bed burn?“, crazy, spectacular song; Paris live official video); (6) ICH WILL („I want“, typical Rammstein, fast, straight, exciting; hurricane festival 2016); (7) SPRING („jump!“, impressing song without official video or live performance; fan made video/animation); (8) STIRB NICHT VOR MIR („Don‘t die before I do“, beautiful love song, Til together with Sharleen Spiteri; Stirb nicht vor mir - Rammstein featuring Sharleen Spiteri); (9) KEINE LUST („no desire“, funny video with a deeper meaning; official video); (10) ALTER MANN („Old man“, early, philosophical song about life; Alter Mann Rammstein lyrics & English). Thanks a lot for your work and all the best to you from Germany!
omg you are back! so glad to see you again! i hope you are fine. maybe you need a a funsong by lindemann?! watch "allesfresser" by till ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ivpe4ssRYSw.html I hope you will be seen more often again :)
Even with my first language beeing german Rammstein lyrics are quite controversial. They are playing with the spoken words quite much so its totally understandable ppl who dont speak german have so much different oppinions of the the lyrics meaning
Hey man! I hope you're well. I enjoy your reactions and noticed it's been a while since your last post. I wanted to let you know that you are appreciated 😊
If you (or anyone else) are interested, here is an interview with the pyrotechnician in charge of the Rammstein shows. www.metal1.info/interviews/rammstein-nicolai-sabottka-pyrotechnics/?lang=english >>>Q: The open-air stadium tour also made possible quite different, gigantic pyros on the speaker towers. How are they operated and how much fuel goes through in the context of a show? >>>A: As I said: We like to spare the reader technical details, but we use about 1000 liters of test fuel per show.
hey, i have areccomendation, listen to Spring by Rammstein next, the son is not that popular, but it is very dark... you have to look at the lyrics first!
What about a female fronted band from Germany wich has stylistic influences from Korn, Slipknot and In This Moment? -> Null Positiv Their highly charismatic, energetic and powerful singer Elli Berlin has a large range from clean over harsh vocals up (or better down) to growls. Her voice is really unique in a very positive way. A band that is definitely worth to be reacted to 🤘 I love their power ballad „Wo Rauch ist, ist auch Feuer“ (incl. English caption) which such an intense atmosphere. Ellis voice and charisma is just awesome: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lOIy-i6c_iI.html Anther good start to get to know them is also „Freiheit“ (Freedom), which has English subtitles: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5GaqkD3jJB8.html The song "Independenz" is a very good song to experience the range of singer Elli Berlin: Their song „Friss Dich auf“ is pure heaviness and has a creepy video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V6CJ0Rq8sZU.html Hass” (Hate“ Yes, it is as heavy as you can guess by the title)
Please check out the making off from Rammsteins music videos. You can learn a lot about the band and there are a lot with english subtiles :) love your reactions!
Everytime till headbutt the mic he cuts himself..he does it on purpose..I've seen pics of him after the show and the day after and it's a dent with a gash...looks painful
