Rammstein - Mein Land (React/Review) 

Till and some friends were somewhere on an Californean beach, speaking German and some surfers took offense and told them to get out because they were not welcome "in their land"... so, Till wrote this song about it...

Mein Land came about after two incidents involving Till Lindemann in California. He had a slight disagreement with some surfer dudes when they realised that he's German (coming over here, stealing our waves type of thing) and later, a local sheriff caught him answering a call of nature behind a bush ("This is my country and you're peeing on it!"). Answer-Mein Land with the initial piss-take of "The Beach Boys" and "Baywatch", which are both brilliant in their cheesiness. Underlying all of it though is the message about immigrants and refugees-where are you going, you've some here from the North/South/East/West, but you're in my country). The final scenes, then take things down a darer route with the comments about being expelled, expelling and people being forgotten. The overarching theme is of how xenophobia has taken over the West. Another subject that few bands would cover, but Rammstein aren't afraid to.

Till as a lifeguard fits quite well. Did you know that Till represented the German Democratic Republic at the European Youth Swimming Championships as a teenager?

Till looks like the kind of guy who could literally breathe fire when sufficiently angered

Fun fact! The beach in this video is the same location where they have hidden one of the time capsules before the release of the "Zeit" Album.

Chels's face says it all when Till is running in slo mo in just his shorts. If he was running towards me on a beach like that, I would have to have a quick dip in the ocean to cool down and then he wouldn't be able to see me for the steam! It is an awesome song too though!

Yay! The making of this video is so funny. Till is so unimpressed with the shorts and having to smile and dance around and is grumping about it 🤣 but yeah, Mat got the gist of the meaning at the end

This is a critique on the attitudes of nationalists towards refugees and immigrants in general. It's kind of inspired by "Surf Punks - My Beach", if you read the lyrics to "My Beach", they're pretty much the same. The video is also filmed in a very similar fashion!

A underrated song imo.

The pee issue in California was the starting point for this song. Regarding the deeper meaning I will quote Paul Landers according to the german Wikipedia: "I see it like this, quite abstractly, this is a person who has no passport and he lands somewhere on earth and he tries to get into our world and nobody lets him in. He knocks on every country and nobody says: "Come in" but everybody says: "This is my country". This is how the song is meant."

I'm sorry, you are terribly wrong. The song is about people not being welcome in another land or place. You come to visit places, see people having fun, but the moment you want to participate they shout: "Get away, this is my land, I don't want want you here!" If you are a refugee or visitor doesn't matter. They don't want you with them. Pure egoism. Greetings from Germany

Once upon a time in California: Mr. Lindemann wanted to pee in the public and an American guy screamed at him "Fuck off, this is my country!". Not kidding, this was Till's inspiration to write this song. 😆 Obviously the video plays with that Californian clichés. But of course, if you take a look at the lyrics, the band's political standing and the time when the song was written (European refugee crisis, Syria) it definitely also deals with how people treat immigrants.

So great to see with subs! Thanks and go for more)

Awsome video guys! The rammstein video is one of my favs 😂

by the way, the guitars and the drum set really burned, their surface was covered with a flammable gel:)

I think its generally along the lines of immigration. Someone looking for a country but they keep being stopped by some flag waver saying they dont belong here , this is my land. I hear about Germany having lot of immigration troubles on the news, so that could have played into the inspiration perhaps

You should definetely watch the "Making Of" of this video - it's really worth watching and explains a lot

There is an official cover of the song by the band The BossHoss. The song is in English and is called My Country, of course.

Hi Mat and Chels, you are for me one of the best Reaction-RU-vidr when it comes to songs by Rammstein! (Aileen Senpai, Educated Marine, The Wolf Hunterz and the South African Bodybuilder ..unfortunately I can not think of his name right now ..sorry) I also like very much here! ..so I wish you a hundred thousand more subscribers! ..I like you two very much. You bring good Conntent!

Bearies alive!!!

Underrated song

Berried Alive hoodie, nice.

Chels looks gorgeous today. 😍

I like this song

I agree with the lyrics.

You guys should react to Vended - Ded To Me, its really awesome.

try to travel Europe once then you will realize what freedom really means.

yep that was a hasselhoff reference

David Hasselhoff is actually very popular here. There ist this myth about him that he made the wall in Berlin fall by playing "Looking for Freedom". This man ist always good for a smile :-)

as a swiss i approve this song

Tilleven❣️

Rammstein - Rein Raus Live Hamburg performance,please!!!

When do you visit the concert?

THANKS😘

5:03 Me every time when i see Till HAHAHAHAA0

5:56 if you aren't, it's not a Rammstein video

Till is a better swimmer then David 🤣oh and singer and actor and ....🤣

It is a song about refugees and came from 2015 when a million war refugees reach Europe. Putin has bombarded Syria with poison gas. Europeans were shocked at how many refugees suddenly arrived. Rammstein has given an answer with this song.

Do they make a "bad" video?? Great reaction as always...not trying to be chitty but did you guys figure out a way to go to Chicago?

In German, the noun "Land" means both "country" and simply "land". There is no distinction like there is in English.

Love the extended version from my brother kosmo..

Rammstein ❤🔝

Today. I am checking out…..Rammstein. Live!! In person. At the Linc in Philly. Can’t wait. Headed there soon to tailgate. Been waiting nearly 3 years since I got the tickets (Covid postponed x 2). Who is jealous? Hehehe

💯

The hoff is not big here 😄 and he didn't take down the wall

Till Hasselhoff.... 🤣🤣🤣

when you look Rammstein live ? Will be hot !!!!!

😂😂❤️🤟

think about the song and video "Angst", the scenes black people sitting in the razor wire circle...

3:19 Till doing the Pulp Fiction ? 👀

Funny enough, the first time I had sex was Sycamore Cove beach. That’s where this music video was recorded. It’s like 15 minutes from Oxnard where I was born. It’s such a lovely beach. They have Sycamore trees on the beach and it’s out in the middle of nowhere. It’s a great place to go if you just want to get away from the World.

Rammstein - los (Live Volkerball) PLEASE!!

a very funny video 🤓✌️ React to Du Riechst So Gut Rammstein Paris

hi Mat - is it possible you´re a fan of Kevin Smith (Silent Bob)? You look similar to him - I like him very well!

Thanks!, plis react "Du riechst so gut" 98 oficial video, Thanks again !

Thanks! How to make a 60s beach video that is actually more ridiculous than the original movies were... do it in German. Wohin gehst du? Wohin? 🤣Sounds like a song about touring. Seems to be a staple of all rock bands, the music business and touring. You're welcome to come, but not to stay, you don't feel at home, you know you're someone's cash cow, your pyro is a big hassle, etc. But when you're on stage, fire everywhere, that's when you're in your land, in the zone. Or something like that.

Endlich 😉

interesting fact, they really burned guitars

Looking For Freedom..... The ones who knows... they know! Much Love to you and Ukraine 🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙

Eins zwei drei Rammstein 🤪

Could you please react to Ed Sheeran ft. Bring Me The Horizon - Bad Habits

Я ни слова не понял

Do you notice the original subs? Unfortunatelly educated marines are too similar to them

+

Ну и где субтитры ? Уважаемые )

I think it is about not wanting immigrants.

New Tallah video out!

Speaking of David Hasselhoff, you should do a reaction to True Survivor. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZTidn2dBYbY.html

Dbza¿

I love that "far right" patriot song!😍

Boy... you lost my respect now 😅 David Hasselhoff was never a big thing in Germany he was just there during the fall of the gdr and played his "freedom" song Germans celebrating that moment which has his song burned into it.. God dammit I hate this Hasselhoff dude and idk why
