Rammstein - Amerika | FIRST TIME REACTION 

Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

Coca-Cola, sometimes war is the greatest line in the song.

Most educated Americans would watch this and think how sad but true this is. It’s an awesome video, and as an American, I enjoyed it.

It's always like that with rammstein: you can just enjoy the music. then look at the video - you're already on another level. If you know the lyrics: another light will come on to you. And if you listen to someone else's opinion about it: you really realize how complex it is.

Great reaction. The funny thing is that they play that at their American concerts and everyone sings along. Simply a good song, I guess ^^

I'm American and I love Rammstein. They are also right.

My personal feeling on the song is that they're not necessarily critisising the average american, but more their government/big companies and the reach around the world. Wherever you go, you will find it's influence, much as the internet reflects nowadays too by being very american-centered. Like refering to non-american films as foreign, like it's a universal experience that american films are your native films. Keeping in mind when the song was actually released (2004), I think the "sometimes war" was even more pointed than we would interpret it today. The song, in it's entirety, is still relevant today, almost 20 years later, but at the time, the US was actively ramping up their invasion in Iraq. So it makes sense to point at that and go "they export war as well".

This song is about the Americanization that is taken place in most of the world and they are mocking it and making it a parody as they dont approve of that change in the world, its also why you see people of different cultures walking around eating big burgers, american deep pan pizza and big cups of Coca Cola (which is he also mentions in the song) Plus the ignorance of americans who belives that everything is wunderbar in their country and they are living in the best country in the whole world.

"I'm pretty scared of where Rammstein is gonna go with this..." Me laughing: "Oh, this is gonna be good"

Biss that was one of the most cordially diplomatic escapes I've seen. lol No harm no foul from a US Navy vet :-)

I’m American and I love this song it’s on point. America isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

I'm sure you hear this all the time, I love your voice. The tone, the accent, the rolling of your R's, just the whole sound of it. You make a pleasant listening experience.

Thank you, every country needs a Rammstein.

Don't be afraid to have a bit of German directness, esp. when you react to Rammstein. ;-) Actually, IF there are Americans hating it, there are probably the same amount of Americans who would totally agree with Rammsteins sarcastic criticism. The American society is VERY divided esp. in the last years. Like half of them think it is the greatest thing since pizza, and the other half thinks it should radically change it's course. So whatever you say, there might be some Americans hating it and others loving it. Some applauding and some being offended. You did a great job to be as diplomatic as we wish politicians were. All the best, very entertaining reaction!

it’s a parody of American globalization. America is forcing itself on everyone etc etc. love this song.

If Some Americans cannot take a little light jabbing in a song they have more problems than I thought. But i know most understand where Rammstein is going with the meaning of this song. It's a Banger.

Great reaction, Biss! I don't speak German myself, but my interpretation of the video is that it is being critical of American consumerism spreading across the world. But I feel like that is an important thing to question and evaluate. Regardless you handled it very diplomatically and with grace. Thanks for the amazing reaction and I can't wait to see what you do next! 😊

I love your faces all acroos the song 😆I almos could hear your head thinking "oh my gosh this is gonna get me in trouble" but people who undestand Rammtein understand that there are both sides od the coin here and take it with a grain of salt. Just for you to know they play it in New York and everyone love it.

After Du Hast, this is probably my 2nd favorite Rammstein song. So easy to sing along to. I also recommend Feuer Frei, Mutter, Moskau, and Reise Reise. Great reaction Biss and looking forward to more Rammstein!! ❤🤘

I love the analysis. You try to be so thorough and really over-try to be fair. Your sincerity is refreshing!

The song was written in the context of the 2nd Iraq War of the USA in 2003, which was only 20 years ago......... when the world still looked completely different. China was just beginning to emancipate itself economically on a global scale, and Putin was still taking a wait-and-see approach and playing fair-weather. The 21st century also began as the US century.

Awesome reaction. Great analyses and I agree with your view on the lyrics. And besides that it is also just a fantastic song. Thank you. ~ Vals

Good reaction! Rammstein is like ogres (or onions) - layers after layers ;) Btw, nice shirt!

I'm American and no one else's opinion of us ever offends me. Nice review and I don't speak German but great song.

I laughed watching you sweat this interpretation! We all have opinions and america has influenced every corner of the world. I found a Coca-Cola seller in the middle of the jungle where almost nobody walked. Much Love to You and Ukraine 💙💛💙🌻🌻🌻

Nice to see you back with Rammstein 😍

I don't speak German, but the video makes the point very clear.

I loved Rammstein then and now. I like this song though I never translated it but got the idea.on a side note, yeah American culture has influenced a lot of the world but a great deal of American culture was influenced by Europeans so it all comes full circle.

I love it when you go wild on Rammstein! So I'm really glad to hear you gonna react to more of them! I also hope you will follow the recommendation I did after your las Rammstein Reaktion! 😅

My musical journey of Rammstein started years ago with this iconic song and i still loved it to this very day , such a cool band over the years , i love it how Rammstein are mixing two diffrent populations in this music video , brilliant effects. Biss i would like to see your reaction to Rammstein song called Du Hast , my 2nd favorite song from their golden collectrion

Nya eu amo esse clip, tem que ser visto e analizado quadro a quadro, simplesmente um protesto incrível, obrigada Biss-sama por reagir a isso*--*

When this song came out we were in the post "Mission Accomplished" phase of Iraq going into a presidential election that almost saw Bush replaced.. he made it through by the slim margin of a few hanging chads... it's a thing. A lot of Americans were right there with Rammstein on this one, great song.

You are right with the culture war. "Vor Paris steht Mickey Maus" is a reference to war. It is discribing the front lines. Example. "Der Russe steht schon vor Berlin" has the meaning that the Russian Army set the front line already in the edge of Berlin. So Mickey Mouse in front of Paris means that there is a cultural frontline the US put their with Disneyland.

Your reaction is the best, as always ;)

Cigeretes name is "Lucky Strike" - same name is for war rockets.

I don't think the song is meant to be a reflection, more to poke fun at how the US of A influences and affects most countries. I don't think it is in mean spirit, though. They're just having fun. They also have a song about their own country, Deutschland, that seems to me more a reflection to the good and bad of their country than this one.

I listened with no hate. They created and showed their option of American way. It is ok with me. Oh! I am American. 😀

this is the best rammstein ive heard yet! i agree about that "middle eight" bit, it rocked extra hard!! i feel like theres some bits you didnt want to translate lol

Hi Biss, your words & thoughts are just that...Yours....no harm no foul & another gr8t reaction by you & on to the next1....Have a gr8t weekend....

You're a born Ambassador😂, sooo cute😊. Much Love to you❤

Biss you did a lovely job of explaining your take on the song...no problems with you or the song...yes I think the song is a sharp and nuanced take on the influence of America....not all bad but too influential in some ways.

Don't worry Biss you are always have shown respect. Hater are everyware and it's you're channel you do what you think it's the best. Much love from 🇮🇹🇧🇪❤️

Great one! You nailed the meaning Biss, I just think it's not ONLY a critic to what America forced on the world but also a critic to the rest of the world for embracing a lot of other things that weren't forced : Who doesn't love a Big MaC, Cola and a Hollywood blockbuster? I'm from Portugal an I love it! The song pokes fun at America, but the line "We are all living in America" seems more like a self critic to all non-Americans. We are guilty of it, forced or not, we embraced the good and the bad. Ironically this was a huge hit in America and also in the world but Rammstein don't seem so fond of it, after the tour where they launched it, they don't play it that often live. Oh and yeah, the overall theme of the video is about the moon landing being an hoax produced in a studio in Hollywood. Great reaction!

Well, a lot of americans know well the thing that Rammstein say in this song, they say this in a lot of american songs, too (like This is America). One of their bests. PS: love you t shirt 😁

Of course no one has ever been to the moon. This is the message.

I think Rammstein is loved by so many people, because if you want to you can dive deep into their lyrics. Offending or blaming is not the aim of this band, but to selfreflect. For example Deutschland was loved and also hated in Germany from the left to the right parties. I think what they like to do is to provoke and make you think about what the lyrics might tell you. But on the other hand, if you do not know the lyrics its fantasic music and of course their stage performances are unbeaten in my opinion. A good example is "Dicke Titten", if you only hear the song without seeing the video its a perfect what I would name "Ballermann-song" / "springbreak-song" but with the lyrics and the video it goes deeper. Songs of Rammstein I would suggest: Dicke Titte, Angst, the piano version of "Mein Herz brennt", Radio, and so on. And to US Americans I don´t think that "America" was intended to offend you, but to give you the oportunity to selfreflect what you are doing and want to do as the "Leader of the western, democratic world".

The mockery is both funny and honest, so no American worth thinking about would have a problem with it.

You have the Rolling "R" too👍🤘🤘 im loving it. Beside love your videos 🙏🍀💥✌

Yeah me too. Great video and commentary.

The song actually is a reference to operation paperclip, German scientists being taken to America after the fall of the Third Reich and being given full American citizenship. Then those scientists going onto NASA to put a man on the moon. It's a tongue in cheek song about the weird commercialisation of American consumer culture and the popular belief that Nasa at one point was being run by ex German war criminals. As with many Rammstein songs a little bit of a sarcastic ironic humour with a bite of truth.

So refreshing to see a reactor who actually knows german. Reacting to this song being ignorant to the lyrics, is like appreciating a chocklate by only eating the paper, throwing the content away. IMO this is one of Rammsteins best movies, with the hard hitting lyrics and awesome sound. Personally, however, as a Norwegian, I prefere to dance the US-dance to the Russian dance...

and i think it goes even further, it also talks about "softpower" and military power, the US "is always taking democracy around the world" (sometimes War). As also in the part where "Wenn getanzt wird will ich führen" talks about the control of the USA over other countries, later he complements saying that the music comes from the white house, therefore they control how they "dance" and what they should "dance"

Bliss,keep doing what you’re doing,as a red blooded American I want to let you know that criticism of government,corporations each other is a cornerstone of what the country was founded on,if somebody doesn’t like to see a Starbucks in Inner Mongolia we get it-Rock on

This was one of the songs I hoped they played when I saw em in Philly lol

Hey kids. Gen-X metalhead here. American expatriate of three decades in Germany. No guarantees of useful insight. I think the most important line in the lyrics is _This is not a love song._ They're making that clear 'cause if you know about Bruce Springsteen's _Born in the USA,_ you know americans don't think any song naming America could possibly _not be_ a love song. It's also -a quote from- the title of a song by Public Image Ltd. that featured Johnny Rotten (of Sex Pistols fame), one of America's not favorite english punk artists. Maybe. _Und vor Paris steht Mickey Mouse_ (Mickey Mouse has reached Paris) is the kind of line you'd hear in a report from a war, insinuating that Disney is invading, seeing that Disneyland Paris was newish when this song came out. Rammstein is very much painting a picture of America as a busybody Karen of world-policing, and that they're a little pervasive. If you think you've spotted the lie, then tell us where you _no you didn't._ For good or ill, by hook or by crook, America's somehow become the pilot of Starship Earth, 'cause they may not have all the money, but they have all the stuff the money wants, they have all the cool weapons, and they feel that lends them some level of authority. Like, all my life, I was regaled with legends of how in WWII, the US came to Europe and cleaned house. But after living here long enough, I found out that what really happened was more like we got to Germany, started climbing the _soul-warpingly massive_ mountain of dead soldiers that the russians buried the Wehrmacht under, executing any surviving nazis that didn't know anything about rockets or nuclear reactions, wrapped up the nazi scientists that did in the Stars and Stripes we were going to raise over the Reichstag until we found the russians got it first, and sent all those evil eggheads back to Nevada to build The Bomb. None of that is exactly true, but it kind of is. And Bisscute! The kind of people that _would_ get angry at you about this reaction _are going to_ get angry at you about this reaction. They're angry. The diplomacy you're attempting will do nothing to prevent that, but the rest of us see and acknowledge your peaceful intentions, and appreciate your efforts. Anyway, that's my "Finally, I just subscribed" comment for you.

Этому клипу много лет, а все отсылки и тексты до сих пор актуальны и правдивы

EVERY SINGLE VIDEO I start vibing, then she turns the volume down

The educatedmarine and the Bucksttabu channel has videos with English subtitles.

7:14 Love "Sure that SOMETIMES?" face 🤣

Our culture became world culture through the internet. I find it wunderbar.

Looking over what you've done by Rammstein, it looks like you haven't done "Engel", and in particular the live version from Madison Square Garden. The song is really cool and the live show is jaw-dropping.

The video is such a hoot. How about some Die Ärzte next? :)

Great reaction. They always want to poke the bear a little bit. 😉

As always, a very nice reaction and perfect breakdown and interpretation! Don't be shy with your thoughts, people who know Rammstein love them for being direct and for starting discussions and maybe being controversial. In the end, as I always say... don't play down how well you speak German, your understanding of our crazy language is very good! Greetings, and keep on going :)

It is a bit ironic...these guys came from East Berlin and lived under Russian oppression until 1991, and it was Ronald Reagan and America that were huge variables in bringing down the wall and the USSR. What is great is that Rammstein is able to criticize America and the west...I bet they didn't sing many songs criticizing East Germany or the USSR (understanding that they didn't exist at that time...probably wouldn't have been allowed to exist). And I bet they certainly enjoy the US dollars their albums are making. I personally think this is awesome. I have no problem with their criticism of the US, and our 'we are better than you' attitude. That's what the lyrics early on about '...leading' when dancing. The US does have a way of trying to force our beliefs on others around the world, because we think our way is best. I love these guys, and think Til Lindemann is brilliant.

Just the fact you had the expressed your view has won me over to your site and btw I now have to recommend your channel.

Best tish ever......and love the "Rrrrrrrs"

This isn't my first Rammstein song, but it is the one that made me fall in love with them.

You are wearing Jinjer - Sunflower -shirt! Love it! 👍👍👍 😊

I think Till refers to This is not a Lovesong by Public Image Ltd.

nice shirt!

I would not say that this is one of the most hated ones but rather one of the most misinterpreted. The song was Rammstein's response to American intervention in Iraq - a skillfully sarcastic response. Like they said in the lyrics "this is not a love song". America influences the world but from the position of power - cultural power (low-quality mass culture), economic power (corporations) and military power (interventions in other countries, usually when it's profitable for US).

It was this country that started a lot of wars, including the war between Russia and Ukraine. Well done, Raimstein. They raised this topic a long time ago. The crown of the “great country” has been shaken

Awwwww..Cute Bisscute❤😂

Du bist toll! ❤

Rammstein recorded their firsr demos that eventually became anthems under their sheets in east germany. They were teenagers when the stasi had incredible power. Ps. Im a patreon...any chance of "whats eating gilbert grape"? I dont think you will like it ao maybe "this boys life" leonado di caprio and robert di niro. Keep being you. X

thank you

They just speaking facts ;)

I remember when this song came out I knew they were mocking Americans which I am, I have a tough skin and understand what they are referring to. It's a song, just a song. LOL

Cam Cole - New Age Blues (Official Music Video) + ERIC CLAPTON & PETER FRAMPTON - "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (HD)

This song was written basically as an indictment of the American government with the war in Iraq. Basically they were basically stating that that war was basically America was looking to "Americanize" the entire world. As an American, I can see their point, and can agree with many aspects of what they're saying.

Early in the song they clearly borrowed from "America" in West Side Story, which gives a 1961 view of racism and classism in the US viewed though a Puerto Rican lens: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ogwR6L43KVw.html Around 2019 I asked on of my classes (mostly 20 or so year old Americans, but also a mix of middle eastern, African, and Asian students) if any of them actually remembered a time that the US was not at war. Nobody said yes. Mostly the criticisms in the song seemed fair, and if Americans are angered by the song I would suggest that they should react with thought and discussion, not simply emotion.

Hey 'Bisscute', what are you speaking for an accent... is this latinamerican? You roll the R so much... ;) You have funny spontaneous reactions, I like it :)

This song is how America spreads its cultural influence on other countries…and I agree, America shouldn’t be doing that. Let other countries, be, let them be who they are, without America pushing their culture on everyone. Im from Texas and am a Native American (Apache/Cherokee/Navajo)….and they forced my grandparents to not speak our languages. I love my country, but its not perfect, but I also cant dwell on the past, I need to move forward, but we as a country shouldn’t be pushing our culture on others. I LOVE Rammstein, and love bands who sing in their native language.

I never heard anybody hating this song ,not even americans 😅

Don't worry Biss. Most Americans are fine with this. I'm not offended in any way. Americans need to know thee things. I know some people don't like having our problems pointed out but I don't think those people would be listening to Rammstein in the first place. Also more Rammstein whenever you think about it. Thanks

you should react to grand funk rail road - inside looking out 1969 - i dont want you to think we were gate keeping you - it is one of those next level songs - you will be very glad you did

The last time they were here Till was crying on stage. Look at it. He either has changed or always loved America. You tell me. Nurnberg 82. 83. We love

They do some great videos, I recommend Sonne and Keine Lust, really good videos and great songs

Come on, Biss, don't be shy about the subtext. The guys from Rammstein showed in the video the truth that American narratives dominate everywhere, all over the world, including in the military-political sphere. I understand your embarrassment, in Eastern Europe, Americans are viewed as saviors from communism, and their public criticism is seen as a sign of bad taste and a challenge to the entire post-Soviet system of values. This is understandable. You are very cool, I will continue to enjoy your reactions❤

In some parts I think it´s a hommage to Springsteens Born in the USA.

Just so you know your audio for your voice is very low, even with ear buds I had to turn the volume all the way up just to be able to hear you. Good reaction, I hope you do more Rammstein.I 👍

"coca-cola, sometimes war" LOL

It was funny to see you winding

I've seen them play this several times in the US. Need some recent mein teil live.

Coca Cola (cocain scandal) and sometimes war like iran, etc :) burger at Monks this is america mean :)

perfect reaction , we all line the american style anything is good (livestyle ) and other thinks bad ( WAR ) but we all love it .

As an American, I'm not at all offended by Rammstein giving us a hard time about things. As someone who's read a bit of history, it's not lost on me that there have been millions of people who have immigrated to America from German-speaking nations, and those people went on to help create what has become American culture. The biggest thing to smile about, of course, is their significant use of the Apollo missions in their video, and who was it who was the principal rocket engineer for the program? Wernher Von Braun, a German of V-2 rocket fame, we brought to America after WWII through Operation Paperclip. In this way, they're also making fun of themselves, which shows just how talented they are to have so many different meanings in their art. They are an incredible band, extremely talented, and if they make fun of us for being so culturally influential, it's all good. We know we are. I just hope that more of the positive influences have been embraced than the negative ones.

yeah... a nother ramstein reaction... love it

Stein Um Stein would be a great reaction vid
