I speak fluent German and what you actually said at the beginning was Aja and Pet Sounds are the greatest records ever released and Jazz can be very entertaining and doesn't shred the enamel off your teeth. Probably.
Tangerine Dream had very good sound quality or audio fidelity on their earlier albums . A good sound engineer / mastering / mixing can really make the music shine .
me beeing from Austria (german speaking country) i have to say that you had a killer pronounciation on the Falco rap. almost no accent at all, maybe a little austrian accent since Falco was Austrian as well 🙃 - perfect!
Hi Robert, really appreciazed your attempt to make a whole videi in german. This is the first video of you that were suggested by youtube for me, but i like it and you did a very god job! I am German and i have no problems to understand your german sentences. I've subscribed imediately ans looking forward to your uther videos (in english 🙂). So keep on rockin'
Your German is great. Don‘t apologize! There is much more to discover in german vinyl. Propaganda, Klaus Nomi, Nena for example. Various styles. It‘s worth to dig and see what comes up. Really enjoy your chanel and the wide spectrum. Thank you a lot. And a big hug from Berlin 🇩🇪
@@RobertFithenPropaganda is 80‘s synth pop. Produced by Trevor Horn. „Dr. Mabuse“, „p-Machinery“, „Duel“. Check out the album „A Secret Wish“. Lots of german words hidden in the english songs. One of the two german female singers has some solo stuff on vinyl. Claudia Brücken. She covered ELO‘s „One Summer Dream“. 🤗
German is a fun, interesting language, but by no means easy. Kudos for giving it the old college try. It's super helpful to know German if you're a music lover. Whether you're into classical, opera, metal, prog, art rock, etc., you'll be able to dig deeper into the music and understand the lyrics, be it Wagner or Rammstein.
That's awesome, Robert! And you don't have to apologize for your rusty Germany - some words were absolutely correct! ;-) Seriously, I was looking forward to your German video and just the little snippets are hilariously awesome! ;-) I think, it's a good thing you didn't fracture your tongue! Thanks for the attempt and keep the great videos coming! Ich wünsche dir noch einen schönen Tag und alles Gute!
🎶 I'm In Love With A German Film Star 🎶 a great song by The Passions is about Klaus Kinski sire of Natassaja Kinski from Cat People " Putting Out The Fire With Gasoline ⛽️ "
The first German film I saw in theaters was “Der amerikanische Freund”. Seventies and early 80s was a great time to watch German films at rep houses: Wenders, Herzog, Fassbinder, Scholondorff. I was totally enamored with Herzog’s Hearts of Glass, and The Tin Drum was quite a viewing experience.
Greetings from Munich Germany. Watch your videos every week, always great. Mostly into metal and rock (vinyl lover of course) but I have explored a lot of cool other tunes from the albums of your collection. Cheers. Und natürlich möchte ich Dir noch auf Deutsch vielen Grüße sagen und danke für Deine super Videos jede Woche. 😊
Dann schreibe ich mal auf Deutsch; schon damit Sie, Herr Fithen, Ihre Deutschkenntnisse weiter verfeinern können. Ich schaue Ihre Videos sehr gerne, obwohl ich mit einem Großteil der von Ihnen besprochenen Musik wenig anfangen kann. Das ist aber gar nicht schlimm, denn Sie haben Humor, klare und gut begründete Ansichten und offensichtlich auch Herzensbildung. Und das ist es was zählt. Deshalb sage ich Ihnen vielen Dank für die zahlreichen unterhaltsamen Videos und sende einen lieben Gruß aus Deutschland.
@@RobertFithen eine breite Palette, aber z.B. wenig Hardrock der 80'er und eigentlich nie psychedelische Musik. Und ich höre sogar ab und an Jazz ;-) . Was an Pet Sounds so toll sein soll habe ich allerdings auch nie verstanden. If i write a comment on one of your next videos, it will be in english, unless your video is in spanish (then i will give up).
I respect the attempt. I certainly have no knack for speaking other languages. The closest I get is the dreaded "KraftVerk," haha. Funny, this video reminded me of the intro to Steppenwolf's "Earschplittenloudenboomer" with John Kay switching between English and German. He was born in Germany, so he probably doesn't have to think twice about it.
Neu!! and La Duesseldorf. and the great Can, of course. And the fun Trio. Yeah, those early Nena albums were good too (Neue Deutche Welle). She's still going strong. Saw her in SF in 2017, her first tour of the USA(!). Wunderbar!
As a teen flipping through records. I came across Monster Movie. I was like that looks like Galactus. And as a comic geek grabbed it knowing nothing till I put it on my stereo. Been a fan ever since.
9:38: Es gibt keinen Grund sich zu entschuldigen - there is no need to apologize. Das Video war sehr unterhaltsam - the video was very entertaining. Bitte mehr davon! Viele Grüße aus Bayern (Deutschland)
LOL, I took German in junior high as well and haven't used it, or very rarely, since. You did much better with your attempt at producing real sentences than my attempt at pronouncing Einstürzende Neubauten, lol. I still remember a German beer drinking song my junior high instructor taught the class. Your attempt was valiant!
One is guaranteed to find awesome music in the birthplace of Johann Sébastien Bach . I'm in thr middle of nowhere and that Brainticket album was there in the used vinyl section of the record shop so I bought it in a heartbeat. I do like metal am having trouble getting used to the Ramstein stuff .
Leders are GO! I have like 6 pair. They are worn in the South and Austria for festivals. I love how German sounds in songs. I collect various Schlager records from the 70's (Cindy & Bert) as well as the electronic stuff, Scorpions, pop stuff (Nena, The Twins) and German/Austrian metal. Stuff like Ash Ra Temple is getting out reach for my budget. Check out "Dreamlike Land" by Richard Schneider Jr. and "Wolfgang Riechmann & Streetmark" for some cool German records nobody talks about. Tchuss!
Your german is very good! I recommend the selftitled album by the band Trio. It was produced by Klaus Voormann and is a classic of the Neue Deutsche Welle era. Before joining Trio their drummer Peter Behrens was a member of the german psychedelic rock band Silberbart. Their only album "4 Times Sound Razing" from 1971 is an insider tip for rare (but good) psychedelic stuff.
not too bad at all! but you really need to practice the word "veröffentlichen" more 😂 thanks for the appreciation for germany, robert.. love your videos, although im not even a big rock music fan.. your videos are just so entertaining.. thank you.. prost und servus from lederhosen-bavaria! 😜
Love that one, Robert. I grew up very close to the border with Germany thus with their culture. I just got back from a trip to Europe during which i could find some cool Krautrock gems. Would love to do a stream with you once, let me know if you'd be interested?, Cheers, FVA
Your German sounds about as good as my French. The only German titles I can remember are the crazy porno tapes we once had in a store I worked at. Sometimes we will say them while out and about.
