Rammstein - Adieu (Official Video) | RichoPOV Reacts 

Rammstein is not just a band. It’s not just music. It’s religion. It’s perfection. It’s pure love to art.

In my opinion they become better and better over the past few years, greetings from Berlin Germany 🇩🇪 fun fact, as this music is not mainstream, nobody understands how huge Rammstein really is ……

Just imagine all Rammstein videos one after another in an IMAX. That would be a film that you would never ever forget.

They filmed some of this at the Paris Opera, France's main Opera house. That means they had to ask for filming permission. Which means they had to tell the French people what they planned to do there. And they still got permission, which seems kinda wild.

And the Oscar goes to Rammstein,....absolute a new level

Definitely the best band in the world: nothing compares to them in every aspect, music, creativity, power, art, charisma, emotions, meaning, quality. They are colossal.

We finally arrive at the source of the mysterious red light and its powered by themselfs. Yikes this video is goosebumps inducing to the max. The references and easter eggs to their previous work are everywhere, the symbolism is ominous, the visuals are again masterclass. Still the presses are silent about an possible end of Rammstein and they are still touring till 2024 atleast, so i keep believing that there is more of them on the horizon.

Thank you for your great reaction!! Guitarist Paul Landers said at a meet and greet in Berlin that the band never considered saying goodbye to music: “Rammstein never thought about quitting. The songs on the new album are based on experiences and losses that band members have had. It’s not a song that hints at the end of Rammstein. All band members still have a lot of fun with Rammstein.”

They just get better with age. Very few bands have been Able to do what they have with just being around for so long and keep putting out amazing albums and songs

I cant think of a single band that create art lyrically like Rammstein, let alone make such visual art for their songs. They get better and better with time.

You are whispering at the start of the intro is a huge sign of respect. To be in such an awe Btw. Outro Melody is „Zeit“

This video also includes a lot of hidden messages based on their musical past, and they are saying goodbye to who they were and embracing who they are, pure and wonderful masterpiece

I shed a tear when they played this at the end of their set on the final night of their US tour.

Rammstein has evolved to be one of the greatest bands of all time, very elaborate, so much talent, they are phenomenal

The cinematography in these Rammstein music videos is impeccable.

This video has so many hints and possible ways of interpretation: First of all there are references to earlier songs and videos like "Ich Will" ("heist", haircut, smoking), "Mein Herz Brennt" (grid, cave), "Deutschland" (red beam and coffin in space shown at the official countdown to the premiere) , "Liebe ist für alle da", "Mann gegen Mann" (masses of bodies), and of course: "MUTTER" (cave with grid, Till in cave, "Mutter 22" on the laboratory door). It looks like they are on a crusade (crosses in focus) using a car with "LIFAD 6" as number plate: LIFAD is the official fan community of Rammstein and also the name of their sixth album. They enter the Paris opera house and shoot their way towards the "laboratory". While doing so, they are "dirty", dressed up for the fight. Flake mages to get the door opened with his hacker tool. On the door you find the letters “Mutter 22”. This can have (at least for me) two meanings: Their third album Mutter was released in 2001 and will become 21 years old next year. Even more fitting is another explanation for me: Around the time of “Mutter”, the band had internal conflicts and they were even close to a split. Beside other things there were disputes about the artistic future. So, they open the door “of “Mutter” and behind it there are clones of themselves. And they somehow have a kind of similar looking to the fetus (a 200 year old dead fetus btw.) One could see those “clones” as former beings of them from the “Mutter” area. Beside that the always straight red beam (past and future / red thread) has lost its direction. Like the band wasn’t clear which way to proceed. The current Rammstein change their behavior, become soft, sentimental, … before they burn down the lab and their “Mutter” clones. For me it shows, that they had to break free from the situation they were in, but nevertheless it was their live and their success, … The following scene will introduce the cave to us. From above there are six statues looking / facing downwards into it. Down there are the band members in a cage surrounded by masses of creatures (for me the fans). The band members in the cage are attached to chains, which are pulled by the creatures (fans). The band is stuck in a cage is in hell. The masses are following them, but they are are also “tormenting” the band. The fans themselves are also stuck in hell themselves. Within the cave the band is first in the cage and has metal “helmets” on and the creatures don’t move. Then they get rid of the helmets and the fans start to move. The bands gets more energetic. Finally they get free and rise towards heaven, smiling, but there is still some firing of guns. With them the fans rise up. The next scene is still irritating: The band is on ground level of the opera again, moves towards the cage and they all jump into the cave. Now you see the “band-creatures” standing on top of the cave. They rise their arms and it seems that they are pulling down the giant statues from the top of the cave. Everything crushes down, but the straight red beams rises upwards. They had to crush the hell with the giant statues as “gods” at the top and the band caught in a cage at the bottom to have a straight direction again. While the credits of this incredibly insane production are shown, one can see the dead band members lying on the floor towards the laboratory door. Right in front of the door with still “Mutter-22” on it, we find the dead Flake with his not successful hacker tool trying to unlock the door. Is this an alternative ending? Maybe. Somehow. I get the idea, that there are two time layers woven together. In the past the crushed the hell, escaping the boundaries given by fans, public, media and very probably even themselves. They were successful and the band had a future, represented by the straight upward red beam. But history can repeat. They are always endangered to get trapped again, to be torn apart. And therefore in 2022 there can be a new “Mutter-Crisis” like in the original one. They have to be aware of it and have to fight it every time it happens. When they nowadays find their “clones” behind that door, they know, they have to “burn” them down, but they have now a more differentiated view onto the past and therefore there is also sympathy for and an emotional connection with their “clones”. But if they do not face the danger of getting trapped again (as clones or as caged creatures) there will be no future for Rammstein. Then band “THEN” would die and the red beam would disappear. But if they are aware of it and if they continuously succeed to avoid being trapped again, there IS a future for the band All these ideas written down here are my personal thoughts. They can be one explanation, they can be wrong, they can be one of many interpretations. I still have so many question marks myself. But also some ideas, that might be not totally wrong.

At the beginning some important references in the video for interpretation: -References to religion are present throughout the video. The costumes that the band wears, the purification by fire, the scene where the band flies away in a whirlwind; -The scene where Till passes his head outside the truck resembles one of the scenes of "Batman: The Dark Knight". Paul has a "Joker" badge on his jacket; -The truck's plate reads "LI FAD 6", a reference to Rammstein's sixth album; -The guard passing through the window has a "Universal Music" badge. The entrance to the Opera House also says "Universal"; -The fight scene has several "Matrix" references; -It is written "Mutter 22" next to the armored door of the chambers room. Flake's computer program looks like the artwork from the Mutter album; -The busts used on the artwork of Video 1995-2012 are visible on the screens next to the caissons; -On the gas can, a flower can be seen like on the album Herzeleid; -The scene where the band floats in the sky is a reference to the movie "The Immortals"; -The red lasers are of course the same as the ones in the video Deutschland At the beginning, the band sits heavily armed in a troop transport as a kind of special task force and drives through a city at night while Till Lindemann sticks his head out of the window - just like the Joker in the DC film "Batman: The Dark Knight". . The goal seems to be a red cone of light that shines out of an opera house/church/cathedral into the cloudy sky. The many Christian symbols that the viewer can discover in the car are striking in the first few seconds: a crucifix on the mirror, a Bible from which one page is torn, crosses as tattoos on the faces of the band members. A nod to the religious worship of rock stars and the great expectations of the band , which has always been very distressing for Rammstein. They celebrate the last supper - with cigarettes and liquor from a hip flask, similar to how Rammstein always does before they start a concert. The van stops, the band storms into the Opera/Church/Cathedral which is the powerful headquarters of Universal Music, to which Rammstein is contracted, while the car's license plate clearly reads "Lifad 6" - an acronym for the sixth Rammstein album "Love is for everyone" (Album „Liebe ist für alle da“). A wild shootout begins. The band fights their way to a heavy metal door marked "Mother-22". This is also a reference to an earlier album of the same name. In addition, the band obviously wears their style of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Till Lindemann, with black make-up and a mohawk, guitarist Richard Kruspe with jet-black hair that hangs in his face. As the band members enter the room, they find their own bodies preserved in cryochambers. They mourn briefly and set the room on fire, apparently an older version of themselves. Her appearance is strongly reminiscent of the cover of "Mother". The time around this album "Mutter" seems to have been central for the further career of the band. In several documentaries, the musicians stated that they almost broke up during this phase. The USA tour at that time was canceled - allegedly for health reasons. The main reason for the dispute was the different ideas of how one wanted to develop artistically. At that time, Till shot the video for the song Mother alone without the other band members. The band was about to break up and started doing therapy sessions together. It also fits this picture that the band in the video for "Adieu" finds itself in a cage in the form of a Rammstein logo, similar to Till Lindemann in the video “Mutter”, besieged by hordes of zombie-like creatures that are apparently supposed to represent their fans - trapped in the Success. After being overwhelmed by their "fans", the band members ascend to heaven. You can see her now, except for Lindemann, without make-up, freshly styled, apparently content. In exactly the same way, they throw themselves into the abyss (hell), from which the red cone of light shines. In Hell, they free themselves from the chains and thus free themselves. They crumble to dust and break out of the cage they were held in The band addresses their career and the "turning point" after the album "Mutter", which almost led to their separation from Rammstein. In the video, this change is probably symbolized by the fact that the "new" version of Rammstein, who storms into the opera, had to kill her old one, because otherwise she would have perished herself. The band members are preserved in the "Mother" room and their current versions march in and torch their clones with a petrol can. Are they not saying goodbye to the band, to themselves, as many believe, but to the idea of disbanding? It's an interpretation that also fits with a statement by guitarist Paul Landers: When meeting a fan before one of the concerts on the European tour, he stated that "Adieu" was not a farewell because all members still had a lot of fun with Rammstein. Rammstein never thought about quitting. The songs on the new album „Zeit“ are based on experiences and losses that the band members had to go through. Now that they have reinvented themselves and have all the freedom, they are able to face the pressure and expectations and break out of the "cage" on their own. The footage of the video, in which the band members are shot dead on the ground, shows Rammstein what would have happened if they hadn't managed to reinvent themselves. If the musicians hadn't managed to get into the room marked "Mother" and self-destruct there, they would be dead by now. So if they hadn't settled their disagreements at the time, Rammstein would have been long gone. Rammstein has overcome the times when there were many thoughts of quitting. The other interpretation, which is also very obvious: The video actually announces the approaching end of Rammstein. The Rammstein members break free from themselves in a painful process and die as seen in the end credits of the video and are released from all the star hype and expectations and can start a new life.

At last, I was already waiting for you 😊 You‘re my favourite Rammstein reactor. Love from Germany.

Attended a Colorado Avalanche game during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Between face-offs they play music, it was then that I asked my son who is 34 what band I was listening too, he said it was Rammstein. We went to the concert at the MetLife stadium in September. I am hooked on this band. I'm 66 and regret not hearing them 20 years ago. Going to Berlin to see them this summer. They are one of the best bands ever, they are unbelievable. Can't get enough of them.

The most common interpretation is that the band kills its past ("Mutter" and before), frees itself from the musical chains from their older times. They don't want to be clones doomed to repeat themselves - one needs to evolve to grow. The outro shows what happen if you don't succeed ... (btw the outdo is a remix of "Zeit")

A literal film and absolute work of art!

Wow I soon as I seen this notification I clicked on it so fast to be first. Keep up the Rammstein reactions please. Top reaction !!!

Rammstein, es como el vino, entre más pasan los años, se pone mucho mejor.

They set the level so high other bands just can't follow. Perfect once again. Back in june this year i saw them live for the first time they finished the show with this song again perfect. I haven't been the same since.

it makes me happy that you enjoy this music, even when you don't understand the lyrics. greetings from germany!

This is more than a masterpiece, this is phenomenal!!!! I have never seen something like this before, still can't believe that this is a Music Video!

Best Rammstein reactor! Hope to see much more Rammstein's reactions..🤟

I always have to cry when i hear this Song. It hits so hard. Thinking about loved ones you lost. There's so much love in this song

I have been a fan of Rammstein since the mid 90's and they just get better and better. Even when you think they can't get better, they do! Most bands "tail off" but not Rammstein!!! Maybe because the line-up hasn't changed they are so in tune with each other that helps them maintain perfection.

Adieu, goodbye, see you again! You have to go the last way alone One last song, one last kiss No miracle will happen Adieu, goodbye, see you again! I had a nice time with you [Verse 2] You quietly rise from life The soul goes on a quiet journey Flesh perishes, spirit will rise The being will surrender to death (Yes) [Pre-Chorus] In the end, you are all alone But we will be with you [Chorus] Adieu, goodbye, see you again! You have to go the last way alone One last song, one last kiss No miracle will happen Adieu, goodbye, see you again! I had a nice time with you [Bridge] Everyone dies alone (All alone) But you will always be with us [Chorus] Adieu, goodbye, see you again! You have to go the last way alone One last song, one last kiss No miracle will happen Adieu, goodbye, see you again! I had a nice time with you The best part? In the end credits? THEY EACH DIED ALONE. Freaking masterpiece

Loved it.lived in Germany for 5 years.I can still understand. Amazing

It´s so funny to see your emotions in your face. The Shock at the beginning, that smile in the middle and the emptiness on the end. :D

Been listening to them since I was 12. They just seem to never lose their touch.

Listening to this album and this being the last track of said album got a lot of people including me, worried that that was their final song "Adieu, Goodbye, Auf Weidersehen" all meaning goodbye or farewell were mistaken to be farewell from them, but as it turns out the band is still having fun making music and they announced that they will continue making music :) I'm always hyped for more.

It's insane how good this is and how good they, they are the best most creative band at the moment, no one like Rammstein. I just get chills thinking about this, so happy they blev my mind again.

Hello from germany! This Video is a mix of: Deutschland, Mutter, Sonne, Mann gegen Mann, Bück dich, Mein Herz brennt, Zeit and more! Greetings Nephilim! 👍👋❤️🙂

Finally, i was waiting for days for your reaction. And i thank you for your real feelings and impression of this Video. That was truelly a FIRST reaction. Unlike some other RU-vidrs who magically came out with a fully Interpretation while watching. You just sit there in awe and said OMG. Just like me. 🤣

You might not like the music genre, but you can't deny that everything ramstein does is pure art (music, videos, life performance).

This song alone makes my hair stand on end, the video just amplifies it

Those ESP guitars are phenomenal

The sequence in the cage and the war in the clouds part are a reference or inspired by the movie IMMORTALS. It’s so cool that specter gave it a reference

the beginning in the video with the street scene was like the song Rammstein by David Lynch in the film: which was also the beginning for Rammstein to international success: very symbolic opening scene -or?

Some Easter eggs: - the vault is mutter22 referencing the period the band hit a patchy bump - the license plate on the van is LIFAD6. The sixth song on liebe ist fur der alle album is fruhlong in Paris. The building and where the video was shot is in Paris. - the video starts with Richard lighting a cigarette and he is also the one to set the clones on fire. This is because he is the founder of the band and if anyone gets to kill the band it’s him. - they never get inside the vault to Kill it all. This is the contradiction to the chorus. Even if the band try everything to kill the band it is now unkillable and here to stay - the matrix references in the opening scene with the metal detector is because du hast was on the first matrix soundtrack opening them to American audience

Matrix x Mad Max x Mission Impossible and much more. I'm lost for words.

Man, I've watched this video three times since it debuted on Thursday morning (my time zone) and I have the album, and I've seen this live during their last tour, but the clip gives me chills...heavy tones of Ich Will, Du Hast, and Mutter. I didn't want it to end, either. 🔥🇩🇪🤘🏻 I purposely didn't watch any other reaction, because I know that I can count on you to have the best ones.

Such a genius move to pick Zeit for the credits. A perfect circle of the time theme.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Rammstein is on a level of their own, untouchable.

Was a joy to share your honest amazement. The ascention in the end had some very strong Bond vibes to me, and check out the sheer level of effort in the credits where they list "the damned".

English Captions: Only Death lasts till the end of time It whispers under the firs rock (german saying for something thats hard to see but there -> under the cover of the tree) it must drag everything into its darkness (death is "it") even the sun will burn out in the end Chorus: But dont be afraid, we are with you one last time, so we are singing: adieu, goodbye, aufwiedersehen the last path is on you to walk alone one last song ,one last kiss, no wonder is gonna happen adieu goodbye aufwiedersehen, the time with you was beautiful out of the life you are rising quietly the soul goes on a silent voyage flesh will decay away, spirit will rise "being" will bow to death ( meant is the physical existance) Chorus everyone dies for themselv but you will always be with us. adieu, goodbye aufwiedersehen

The overall quality of Rammstein videos just surpasses themselves. It's like Hollywood/Bollywood doesn't even try to compete. At least in script/writing. Superb.

the older they get their music matures and turns into something magical like a fine expensive wine like old stuff absolutely awesome but this new stuff is epic

Ich habe auch auf deine Reakion gewartet - du fühlst es .

Rammstein....maîtres en matière de pyrotechnie et des clips vidéos depuis des décennies....je suis fier de faire partie de cette communauté et de cette grande famille qui sont constitué de tout leurs fans à travers le monde....fier de mon tatouage dans mon dos aussi..

p.s. the intro choir music is composed by sven helbig - sven helbig made also the piano version of 'mein herz brennt' and many more classical rammstein arrangements - peace from munich germany

Hello from germany! With this Video, Ramstein say goodbye to their old selves and start a new chapter! It can only get better!👍

This will spin you out, Richo! If you listen close they make reference to their other songs in most of the songs they've released even this one....the outro piano and choir comes from "ZEIT"! Little Easter eggs to look out for. Mate if they come to Australia I'm going. Oh and I'm 52yrs old.

Another awesome masterpiece from Rammstein. And another great reaction; I love how much you love you give the band

Rammstein is one of the most interesting Bands ever

A capture of this videoclip gave me totally vibes of the Paradiso, Canto XXXI, illustration of Gustave Dore on Dante's Divine Comedy! Totally love Rammstein with all my heart 🌹🌹🌹

They’re just amazing

I'm just glad I got to see them once!!

A definite work of art, just recently I started giving Rammstein's music more of a chance. Very expressive works or art, each video they do is amazing.

Good lord, I love your reactions!!!! Rammstein is truly out of this world

This song was the ending song for last summers tour! 2.5 hours of nothing but pure awesome capped off by this masterpiece!

The licence plate on the truck references the 6th album or track number 6, Spring in Paris. Richard seems to be the most upset at having to destroy the clone of himself.

Hello from Germany. This cage looks very similar to the Rammstein logo. 😎

You got me onto this group Richo and I can't get enough. Champion

That was filmed in Paris „ Opera Palais Garnier“

As usual, great reaction and what can you say about the band..fukn spectacular, mind blowing. Wow!

You have a way of making a reaction so very interesting and positive that everyone would want to listen and I appreciate you very much

After hearing Herzeleid in 95 at a BMX overnight jam at local skatepark I was hooked... The industrial sound and not really knowing what they were singing about made it even more interesting, now in my late 30s still hammer Rammstein full tilt and one of the only bands to still give me shivers down my neck and fully enjoy the music to this day. Now with the recognition they have earned the music videos are pure art and put most big budget projects to shame. Keep it up!!

woahhhh I got chills, they're multiplying

Thank you so much for that emotional rollercoaster. It looked like you felt the same as me when I was watching this video/song/movie the first time. It was a joy to see your passion. You should watch those with english translation to really feel it. Kisses from germany ♥

No band comes even close to rammsteins videos... way better than every hollywood billiondollar movie❤❤❤

The only reason I have being proud and happy being German is, understanding the lyrics from Rammstein without subtitles and singing my lounge out to the songs🥹

one way to interpret part of it is that those clones are made by other people. so presumably the dna have been tweaked to the cloners perference n the clones can be controlled by the cloners. the clones are not the real them. it was adjusted to conform to others preference. so the originals went to destroy the clones so they may remain true to themselves

Just gets better and better, the best band , thanks for this

Love it ❤️

Man this was beautiful.....and a strong message

Finally, I have waited for your reaction. 🙂 What a video, greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 👍

I LOOOOVE your reactions!!! Please keep em coming! You really do enjoy it - you take me with your emotions so much! Thanks! Please get into the lyrics also. They are so damn good - even if a lot gets lost in translation, please check before watching what are they talking about, it is so important. Rammstein often uses a symbiosis of video and lyrics, you are just getting half of the experience and enjoy it as much as you do, imagine what could be possible with 100%! I would rewatch every video of you ten times if you would get the lyrics... honestly!

damn, there you are

Intro music reminds me of '300' and the music video at certain points reminds me of the film 'immortals' .

Hi from Germany, this video is realy Epic and your reaction is fantastic !!!!

Love your reaction!

The last Song that would be played when i go into my grave my friends. RAMMSTEIN until to end !

.....Even the outro sounds sooo good!

I was always from the very beginning saying that they are artists primarily. I've got burning goosebumps on the lyrics the are so powerfull!

They should make a movie. Gonna be a blockbuster. Big like for the channel though 🤙👍

This song scares me. Why? Cause the lyrics rly make it sound luke it's Rammsteins Farewell

I love that the outro is a calmer version of zeit

Rammstein put music and video clips each time to another level ! Better and better !

First of all have been loving your reactions to the Rammstein music videos and have a list of ones you gotta check out as well here goes: Mein Teil , Du Riechst So Gut '95 and '98 both versions are awesome and worth a look,Engel,Feuer Frei!,Rosenrot,Pussy,Radio,Ausländer,Ohne Dich, and Stripped hope this reaches you and look forward to you finding each of these and posting your reactions to them.

Death is so close. This song makes me cry

Did anyone notice that this video is a tribute to "Alien" and its followers? Germans are capable of subtitles... 🙂

So damn good!!

Definetly we need an Adieu movie or a short one. They’re epic! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Here's my guess. They try to wipe themselves out of existence, but don't succeed. The band members, resmbling their "Ich will" characters, storm the place where their replicas/clones are kept (reference most likely to "Mutter" - the vault also suggests that). At first, it seems that their plan is going to work and they light themselves - and their clones - on fire. They end up in a "purgatory", locked inside a cell, surrounded by other people - most likely fans. These people hold them back and don't want to let them ascend into, let's say, "eternity". In the end, they manage to break their chains and ascend, but only together with their fans. But in the end, we see that the "Ich will" characters are lying dead on the ground, suggesting that their plan failed. They didn't manage to free themselves, they didn't manage to retire. So they're here to stay. They're here to stay as long as their fans hold on to them.

This ist pure Art🤘

"No dont End" - Pls Never End! Thank my Live i know that Band!
