For me as german this was so much fun to watch. I remember I was so blown away when i heard HOW big Rammstein is internationally. And yes, their live shows are unreal. You literally saw a stadium burning in germany from miles away and everyone thought something was on fire. Turned out it was a Rammstein Concert😂
I didn't find it awesome because they recently had a stadium concert near me on the same day I was at a Olivia Rodrigo concert and it took me hours to get home because the trains and trainstation were overcrowded because of all the Rammstein Fans.😅
lately on tiktok someone posted a video of a stadion were they played "Du hast" with all the rockets flying forward and backwards across the stadion and big explosion behind the stage... 90% of the people on tiktok thougth it was a war footage from Ukraine just to understand the size of their show....
YOU DO NOT SKIP RAMMSTEIN INTROS OR CREDITS. MORTAL SIN! Rammstein, Industrial Metal. This song is about how they as Germans feel about bering German and its history. The black lady is symbolising Germania (Symbolic figure of Germany). Imagine a US band singing honestly about how they feel about beeing American and American history! Enjoy the rest, wonderful music, poetic texts and amazing pictures. You will laugh, get scared and be shocked!
Agree with not skipping the credits. lol As for a US band making the equivalent song/video. I don't see it happening. Or at least not becoming a hit and having 268 million views. I think we are too fragile to deal with our past.
@@julianbruggemann8529 I was just about to write that!!!!! 😅 People just don't know that there HAVE already been songs like this referring to the US!!!
Hello. You did quite good. Kudos. I'm from Germany so let me give you some thoughts from someone who's born here. First of all, first time I watched the video I was shocked and deeply moved. The song/ video takes a very deep look into our german souls and how most of us feel about our country. It's a love- hate- relationship. The video is loaded with tons of symbols, that as a German you catch onto. Let's start: in the intro you see Germania ( Personification of Germany) during roman/ germanian tribes time. The red Lazer represents the "red thread" of the story/ history. Astronauts from the future bringing Germania in a glass coffin (snow-white) so she can lead through the/her german history. Next you observe the twenties(Weimar Republic).The prison scene representing the rough, violent times especially for the majority of the population struggling to survive. Money raining down/ the great depression. And Germany's first try as a democratic state. In between Germania is dressed in knight's armor awaking her knights/band with the Lazarus spear. Next Germania is pushed in a wheelchair by the band through the Berlin Holocaust Memorial with burning bodies. Next vignette the office scene showing east Germany and west Germany reunited (1989). Then you're being taken back to mideveal times, monks/ church are feasting off of Germania. In most scenes you'll see some church man involved. No coincidence. The concentration camp scene in the background you see V2 rockets ignition. The inmates are wearing different types of stars on their chests and a sign on the gallows reads: no photos. Germania wears an eye-patch first on her left, than on her right eye. Than a quick shot of Germania dressed modern with lots of gold leading german shepherds., representing Germany's wealth. The 70's scene shows the RAF- extremists holding Germania/ Germany hostage. Next vignette is the witch burnings shifting to the book burning. If you have a close look, at minute 4:45 you see a church man holding up a cross hugging a Nazi, symbolising the churches over all position to the horrific events happening during 1933-1945. The birth scene. Germania is giving birth to dogs respectively "Leonberger" a breed preferred by Kings and Queens. The Breed almost went extinct during WW1 and WW2. A cardinal helping (dressed in red) a new Germany being born. At minute 5:50 you see the riots against refugees homes in the 90's in Hoyerswerda. Molotovs are being thrown and a car is being pushed over with the help of a man dressed in Nazi uniform. Than the scenes/ time vignettes start shifting faster and faster, showing how many times, when circumstances becoming to extreme everything is falling apart and Germania ( dressed in knight's) armor is crying. The outro is the piano version of the song "Sonne" which completed unfortunately you decided to skip(😉) how we feel thinking of our past: a sense of sadness. To sum it up. Germany has a long, wild, violent, unique history, because we as a state of today exist only since 1989. Yet the roots go back a very long time. "Young and yet so old" I hope that helped a little to understand the video and with that us Germans. We don't have a strong feeling of patriotism, but a strong sense of unity. With love from Germany 🤘 😎
Thank you so much for this informative update on the video Eva. I just went to my first Rammstein concert and we’re absolutely blown away. The production, quality, the theatre, circus, dark humor. It was so overwhelming I imediately booked tickets for next gig. The band is to me a modern art phenomena as much as just a metal band. Thanks
@@spring_in_paris Schön zu lesen :) Mir gehts auch gut, der Ventilator ist direkt auf mich gerichtet und wedelt mir Luft zu... nur die Arbeit macht bei der Hitze echt keinen Spaß.
If you want to see, what Rammstein is about, do „Du Hast“ live in Paris. The crowd control, German band controlling french audience combined with the Rammstein live show is amazing
"Live in Paris," I'd rank as third. "Live in Paris," while being a great performance, live, there were some special effects applied, augmenting the recorded performance, making the video look a bit campy. Had the video director, and the editor shot it clean (without any video effects), the Paris video would have been better. Rammstein: Live in St. Petersburg, 2019, or Rammstein: Live at Madison Square Garden -- Both are excellent performances, and no special effects applied to the video, what you see is what the attending fans seen, providing as close an experience to being there, as one can have from home.
Rammstein intro and credits are literally as much a part of the experience as the core song. This song is a perfect example of that as the chaos of the song is followed by piano and scenes that provide much needed catharsis to balance.
I have a feeling you'd enjoy the hell out of Rammstein's "Zeit" (first single from this year's album under the same name) - it's a fantastic example of how these guys can do it all, and the mind-blowing variety of their sound.
Very good reaction! But never ever skip the outro of a Rammstein Video, there is so much to watch. It's disrespectful, because there are so many talented people involved, to produce such a masterpiece. There are millions of Rammstein addicted people all over the world, and they will hate it, if you skip the credits. It's a big sacrilege!
Every moment of a Rammstein (pron: Rhomm-Shtyne) video is important. Even the outtro. For this one, the outtro is a piano melody if their incredible banger if a song, Sonne. If you liked this riff...listen to Sonne! You have over 25yrs of amazing music to discover by one of the.biggest bands in the world, famous for their live shows incorporating tons of pyrotechnics.
Wow..it's hard to believe that you're hearing Rammstein for the first time 😮, I've been listening to this band since I was 9 years old 🙈 But better late than never 😏😅👍 "Deutschland" is the most epic song and video in Rammstein's band history so far, I think. I just love it! It's hard for me to say which is my favorite song; in each album are favorite songs! But at the top of the list are definitely "Du Riechst So Gut", "Rammstein", "Mein Teil" and "Sonne" 🤟🤘 Have a listen 😁
If you had to do an album breakdown please do Mutter. I think it’s their best work to this day. The orchestra on Mein Herz Brennt, Sonne, Links 2 3 4, Ich Will (one of my favourite if not my favourite) and Mutter an emotional slow track. And that’s just part of it!
Yeah, Rammstein are huge worldwide, since 1994. They sold out the New Yorker Madison Square garden within minutes multiple times, and tour with over 30 trucks. They won grammies and MTV awards. And their videos are excellent, only the best directors who also work with pop artists like Lady Gaga. So you're up to something. ^^ They had their breakthrough in the US in the 90ies, thanks to movie director David Lynch, who put their songs on his soundtracks. Rammstein also had an appearance in the movie Triple X with Vin Diesel, as themselves playing a show. They are well recognized in the US alternative scene, they are friends with Korn, Marilyn Manson, System of a down. They also played live on Jimmy Kimmel a few years ago. i recommend 2 videos to start with. "Rammstein: Paris - Du Hast (Official Video)", wich is an official live video, and maybe their best. "Rammstein - Zeit (Official Video)", wich is my favorite music video by them.
A small rundown on Rammstein: They’re a German metal band who are in business since forever (at least it feels like that). A song you may know by them is “Sonne”, but there are surely other people who have more knowledge about them. I always tend more to German punkrock (f. e. Die Ärzte and Die Toten Hosen, both bands are legends and have been for over 40 years).
The current tour of Rammstein simply says it all,. Amazing, incredible. They are totally taking the world by storm and fire. I was at the Minneapolis show. I'd never heard Du Hast sung by 30,000 people. Their concert is one of a kind theatre, and music. Every place the go, it's the same. Most incredible concert ever. And yet, they are humble, not egotists. At the end of their concert they got down on one knee, and bowed their heads to the audience. That was overwhelming. They were thanking the audience. Anyone who didn't go, has missed out on this one of a kind performance. I'm told they are touring through all of Europe in 2023. That's a long time on the road
Omg, can't believe you had never listened to Rammstein before! They are great, aren't they? My personal favorite is Mein herz brent (an oldie), give it a try! and hope you like it
I honestly feel like Rammstein gets better and better with every album they release. All of the lyrics are well constructed and always have a point. Just so you're aware, starting with songs like Deutschland, you can enable closed captioning and set the auto-translate to your language of choice. It really helps understand what exactly the song is about for those that can't speak German.
Rammstein has a very deep breadth of material. It ranges from fast and relentless to soft and delicate, to dance club. Their live shows are the stuff of legend.
OMG finally i Like your Pop music reaction but Rammstein ist my Favoriten Band and i Love this reaction, hope to See more Rammstein reactions. They are the most incredible Band and do the best live Shows ive ever Seen. Til has such a beautiful voice. You should really Check Out more of their music.
If you look closely you will see every important moment in German history in this video. Every millisecond in a rammstein video actually means something. Three Arrows has an amazing in-depth explanation/clarification
OMG!!! Blake 😭😭😭 i've been wathcing your channel for some time now, but i never clicked on a video so fast when i saw this! i'm so glad you did this! rammstein is one of my ult bands and i've been on their live show few weeks ago for the first time! it was one of the best expiriences i've ever had, and i kid you not, i lost hearing in my left ear for two days LMAO Till's voice live was like a thunder thank you for reacting to it, i would definetely love to see more of that side of music too 💜
I grew up with Rammstein! (I'm from the Netherlands) My parents went see to them live like 2 weeks ago.. I deff recommend live videos, they are crazy with they're fireworks and sounding really good live!
You have just witnessed arguably the most expensive music video ever made... and money well spent for an amazing band especially following a 9 year gap between new material. They went big and it worked
boy you have a very fresh perspective for this videos and Rammstein is incredibly wonderful, please do more, there are many classics of Rammstein that you would surely love. Chliean viewer
The Sonne (Sun) instrumental at the very end credits is a form of hope after retelling the history of Germany in the video which is a bit depressing. Sonne is about the sun rising. The lyrics are also very reminiscent of their old songs too, their history. It's pretty genius all around. Tills lyrics are like dark poetry and his voice is perfect to bring that across. They've always been amazing, even since their first album. I was introduced to them in the early 90s with Du Hast on MTV! (I'm 41 lol). Their videos are always very high production too and yes, their concerts are insane. React to some Madison Square Garden lives...brace yourself lol
it's so cute to see someone who've never heard of Rammstein 😄 they are soooo famous in Europe and USA. I knew about them since I was a child, but only when I grew up, I could completely appreciate their music. so many masterpieces! Fantastic videos and meaningful songs ( or satirical) One love❤️
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Rammstein and metal music in general 😉Since you mentioned you didn't expect that kind of voice in a metal song, I got some suggestions for you: Nightwish - The siren (live 2005), Ghost love score (live at Wacken 2013) Arch Enemy - Deceiver, deceiver (official video), Handshake with hell (official video) Feuerschwanz - Warriors of the world united (Manowar cover, official video), Metfest (official video) Eluveitie - Rebirth (official video) That's just a scratch on the surface, you'll see that metal music is VERY diverse 😉Greetings from Germany! 🤘
And you dont even get the BEST part of this... the lyrics. Rammstein is famous for their extremely provocative and insane texts... not so much this number, but for many others, you would even read the translation out loud in English. You should try more Rammstein and look up the translated lyrics. (Its always fun seeing others experience Rammstein and TOOL for the first time)
Rammstein are a colossal band, and they're not only metal. They are so good on so many levels that every music lover has to listen carefully to them, in my opinion. And I don't even start talking about their videos' production value or live shows quality. They are simply amazing.
I really don't watch reactions at all, but this one really entertains me. Your reactions are so real, nothing seems fake or over the top. Please keep reacting to metal, I really wanna stay here for content like this!
I looooove rammstein! Their music is one of the reasons I started learning German. Your friends are right, their live shows are crazy. I would suggest you to listen to RADIO and from their latest album my fav is ANGST
Going to see Rammstein in Minneapolis this month, can't wait. The live show they put on is insane, all the band members are licensed pyrotechnicians there is fire everywhere at a Rammstein show.
Rammstein is a band where their music videos have so many meanings (serious to hilarious) and then you’ll be blown away with their live videos with their showmanship and pyro.
Rammstein is definitely the band worth checking. They are in the business for almost 30 years now and have a very unique style and vibe. They are famous for their live performances but also have high-quality videos. They are astonishing storytellers who can create multiple meanings for their songs (so it's always good to check their vids with English caps or official subs if U want to discover their full potential). Their heaviness does not necessarily lay in their music itself but more in their lyrics and visuals and how skillfully they are using controversy and cross the lines - I mean, any lines. There is no "no-go" zone for Rammstein's creativity :)
I think one of the best lines was where it said..."He who climbs high will fall low. Germany, Germany above all (everybody)" Which implies that germany thought it was above everyone so much that it fell to rock bottom. The song represents the band's conflict with their love for their country and their feelings of guilt for it's dark history.
I think the best compliment for a metal act would be watching a video of someone reaction to your video, and they whole time they're just shaking their head, but smiling and going "wow".
BLAKE OH MY GOD!!!! I've been a massive fan of theirs for so long and I was not expecting this video from you. Wow. YES! Please react to some Metallica as well, it's so cool to watch you point out the differences between the genres and the music is so good. So happy that you enjoyed it!
WOW! I‘m German but I’m not into Rammstein at all, it’s just not my genre but it was quite fun to watch. Maybe should react to Linkin Park. I just love them!
Love love love this band. They are SICK live. Best concert I've ever been to. Just so much going on and they nail it. Til's voice is amazing. And their mix of heavy shit with sorta a pop like beat behind it, industrial style metal, just hit's everything I love with music. So cool you did them. This isn't even close to my favourite song of theirs, but it hits good lol
More Ramstein would be greatly appreciated - I'm not a huge fan of the metal genre in general, but these guys deliver every single time; great vocals, evocative melodies, and generally kick-ass lyrics.
Not connecting the visuals and lyrics from this song is missing the whole point why this song exists in the first place!! This is such an important statement about their country and its history and how Germans still suffer from that daily. Some songs represent such huge historical awareness. This consciousness is seldom seen or heard of in music! The video shows a very deep look into the german soul feeling and how most of them feel about their country. It's a very tough love/ hate relationship for most I guess. Eva Libbach (who I don't know personally) has more info about the context of the song here down below. Thanks for that Eva! There are also videos on RU-vid that provide more context. Thanks for doing something different this time BLAKE! This is easily becoming one of my favourite channels, so thanks for that!!! ( I'm from Holland btw and luckily have many German friends nowadays!)
Thank you Sir for entertaining and teaching me. I liked that. Rammstein is very unique you know? I woeld like to seeing you watching the new ones from them with subtitles like Angst or Zeit. Thx and greetings from germany.
Dude, I would *love* to see you look at more Rammstein!! They are absolutely phenomenal live, but are in general such an interesting band. Their texts and visuals can be crass, but are also very effective. This particular song is a reflection on conflicted feelings about coming from Germany, about how it's hard or even impossible to love it when it has been a place of so many harrowing things. Would love to see your reaction to their album "Mutter"! Oh, and another prolific German band (that's also phenomenal live) are die Ärzte, who are more humorous but equally great with both lyrics and visuals. Their most successful album is "JAZZ IST ANDERS", but my personal favorites are "Geräusch" and "13".
The thing I love about Rammstein is that every single time I listen to a track, regardless of when it was recorded, I hear something new. Deutschland is a track I listen to time and again; it's so solid and strong and passionate and emotional. It makes my heart flutter every time I hear it. But man, never skip the credits ... ever!
In fact, Rammstein is an own subgenre called “Neue Deutsche Härte“, in englisch “New german hardness“, it has an own Wikipedia article to read about the definition :D The band members them self called it Tanzmetall (dancingmetall) in the early days of the band :) Great reaction watching you having so much fun an being impressed with an by the music, greetings from a greeeeat Rammsteinfan from Germany 🇩🇪
It's so cool and interesting to see you discovering Rammstein these days!! 🔥 You should really listen to their new album out in 2022 it's absolutely amazing 🤘
I believe exploring more metal in the future is going to be amazing, it's a genre that always pushes the limits of music from 10 to 11, also why a lot of the old stuff is still so great today Also idk if slayer is a good starter lol, unless you know what you're getting into 😈 But metallica would be great to start with and then go into more extreme stuff
Ok, the „do NOT skip the outro of a Rammstein video“ was mentioned here before I think 😊 I will be happy to see more reactions from you to the best band in the world. Plenty of videos with English subs out there. You should react to live videos like Sonne, Berlin 2019 or the current stadium tour. There’s so much to choose from. You‘ll have many loyal fans for your channel - if you don‘t skip the outro !! Love from Germany 🇩🇪🤘🏻❤️🔥🤘🏻
one could class this broadly as industrial metal based on the beat pattern and synth elements, but it has it's own genre in germany called 'neue deutsche harte' (new german hardness)
I love how at similar points in the video you seemed to have forgotten you were recording, while I completely forgot I was watching a reaction. That's the Rammstein effect.. haha
That was probably the most intense video you could have picked from Rammstein. Loved your amazed facial expression, like a little kid unwrapping the Christmas present. As for Live versions of Rammstein, a viewing of "Pussy" would likely drop your jaw. You may not want to play the studio version of the song as YT may have an issue with it. "Auslaender" is fun viewing of an incredibly catch, almost techno song. "Mein Teil" features incredible live stunts surrounding the dark story of this song. As for other metal bands, there is the inevitable Nightwish. You start with "Ghost Love Score" live from Wacken 2013, continue with "Romanticide", work you way to "The greatest show on earth". Only then, and only then you end up with "The Poet and the Pendulum". Of course, there is Jinjer "Pisces" which under no circumstances you should preview. Then there is Floor Jansen and Henk Poort performing "Phantom of the Opera" on "Beste Zangers".
I liked seeing you enjoying this! There's A LOT of Rammstein songs that i'm pretty sure you will like. I sugest you to heart the band Ghost. Pick any song, they're all great, bring to the channel, it will be a pleasure to watch
Dont scip the outro. This masterpiece is not complete without it. What i see is, that you havent understand the song. The KZ Scene is strong, very strong. You smile and then you realized what you see. Thas great. But what will "Till" say with it? What means Überheblich, überlegen Übernehmen, übergeben Überraschen, überfallen Deutschland, Deutschland über allen ? Right. Hear the next part! (Deutschland!) Mein Herz in Flammen (My heart in flames) Will dich lieben und verdammen (will love you and damn you) (Deutschland!) Dein Atem kalt (your breath is cold) So jung und doch so alt (so young and yet so old) (Deutschland!) Deine Liebe ist Fluch und Segen (Your love is a blessing and a curse) (Deutschland!) Meine Liebe kann ich dir nicht geben (I can't give you my love) Then in the outro you can see the cast of the video. All the people from WW1 and WW2 are polish / jewish. This song shows the history of germany and maybe only the dark side. But its history! Every Country has history. Live you can see till reaction by this song. Its not easy to sing for him. His voice goes up and down several times!
For me it's such a sad song and I also always get wet eyes when I hear that song because everything is so deep the meaning of the song and also the German history when you know what happened in the past and see it in the video again Idk it just makes me sad
I did just see some lIve Concerts Clips from the USA a couple days ago from Sept. in TX and CA. The crowd can sing the lyrics in german too. Amazing ! Rammstein is a phenomenon. Like your reaction video ! :-D ;-) Greetz from Germany. Oh. And it is Rammstein - not steen ! ;-) And by the way. The singer is an educated pyrotechnician. You can see that on the stage shows! ;-)
Great reaction - love this song. If you have not been Down the Nightwish rabbithole yet - you have something extraordinary waiting for you - the composer is known as Metal Mozart and the lead Singer, Floor Jansen, is World class. Start with Ghost Love Score from Wacken In 2013 and take it from there….greetings from Denmark
Omg!!! Rammstein!!! Yes! Never ever expect that here but sooo glad you did it. My favorite band since years now next to BTS! How it works? Easy, they are both awesome! Next one; Rammstein; ich will Or, falling in reverse; the drug in me is reimagined
