REACTING to RAMMSTEIN (Engel) 👐🎤🔥 

How many flamethrowers do you want? Rammstein: Ja

"Engel" is more than 20 years old. It came out in '97 and still sounds so fresh and powerful.

It's funny because Till is actually quite shy and soft spoken "in real life".

the keyboard player isnt a comedian he is used as comedic effect guy, so he is hunted over the stage or is swimming trough the cloud, in an interview he said he wasnt even the biggest fan of doing it but as a keyboard player there are just parts where he has nothing to do also its much easier to do it for him as for the bassist or guitar player as they had to remove their instruments first and he is free to run over the stage ;)

The wings weigh something between 50 and 60 kg if I remember correctly. Till still got scars on his back from wearing them^^ EDIT: Totally forgot to recommend "Mutter" live @ Paris :)

The first time I heard a Rammstein song, I didn’t know if I should dance or headbang. I figured I could do both. That’s the beauty of Rammstein’s music.

i've been on numerous Rammstein shows and i'm lucky enough to live in Germany now to see them live a lot more and it's a sight to see those wings pop and fire up with pyrotecnics :)

If you wanna hear the more melodik side of Rammstein I would suggest songs like "Mutter" or "Ohne dich"

I think the whistling is a backing track. Paul Landers specifically looks to be doing absolutely nothing when pressing his mouth to the mic.

Never let it be said that Rammstein doesn't bring the heat! Fantastic reaction and analysis brother. I think Rammstein might convert you yet! Ich Tu Dir Weh from same concert is absolutely sick

I have seen this concert in person, and been a few of their different concerts, the whistle is real. That building got so hot with all the pyrotechnics going off. Have to see them in life to really see how crazy it feels in person, not the same in a long shot through a screen.

Rammstein band members: vocals, guitar, bass, drums, pyrotechnics expert! Love it, so OTT!

Song is basically about how kak it is to be an Angel. Flame thrower wings bro. Your face: 😮 Christian Lorentz (nickname Flake) is the Keyboard player. He isn't a comedienne but he is usually the butt of all the onstage jokes and mock abuse. He's like the band Jester/stuntman. Flame throwers are pretty ordinary stage props for these guys and usually feature in several songs in a single performance, in different forms. Check out some of the performances of the song Mein Teil to see Flake getting cooked in a giant pot by Til using a flamethrower. Flake plays keyboard inside the pot while this is happening.

The whistling is backing track. They have been seen not at the mike a few times, while the whistling has continued. Back in the late 90's that may not have been the case, it sounded different then, and was sometimes a bit off or in strange places of the song. They use backing tracks to support their act in several ways, like to offload Till from singing when he's very busy with the pyrotechnics, and to save his voice in some of the heavier parts. There are a lot of sequenced keyboard tracks as well, there are just too many layers to do it all live. I feel that none of this takes away from their performance. If anything, their being able to pull this kind of stuff off at all is astonishing enough.

Try "Mein Teil", it's about cannibalism, good stuff

They used to do the whistling live but I don't know if they still do. The wings are about 50 kg and in the last years he is wearing different ones where he is standing on a podium and raises into the sky so he does not have to wight on his back. Some years ago there was an accident where Till injured himself because he fell down with the wings on. My request would be Rammstein : Benzin live from Madison Square garden

Very intelligent analysis with many subtleties, thanks for that and greetings from Germany.

Seeing this the first time was amazing. Never gonna forget that moment!

Avengers : We have Falcon! Lindemann : Hold my flame-thrower. You're right those wings aren't light, weighed approx 7-8 st / 110-112 lbs. In some other live versions, he was being lifted off from the ground to create the illusion of angel flying, but he wasn't really 'flying' more to just being lifted up in the air.

you HAVE to react to "Mein Herz brennt"

The wings were like 110 lbs, very heavy! Makes you respect Till even more :) You should react to the live versions of Mein Teil, Ich Tu Dir Weh, Mein Herz Brennt, or Feuer Frei! ☆

"I've got to go and watch these guys, I have to" Yes, sir, you do. I saw them yesterday in Oslo, Norway. They played in front of a 60K audience. It was bleeeeeping amazing. A complete different version of "Engel", though. Just piano, Till on vocals and lyrics on the big screen. A singalong. It was fun.

great band, great Reaktion👍

Hahaha your facial expression when you saw th wings is priceless!

I always feel like the songs people recommend don’t really do justice to them. (Not talking about this song in particular) Like Du Hast for example. It’s their most popular song but far from their best. Some of my favourites are: Links 2 3 4; Mann Gegen Mann; Wiener Blut; Stein Um Stein; Sehnsucht; Laichzeit.

their shows are just incedible. I have seen them 4 times live ... best shows of my life

My twenties was full of Rammstein. They are a full package act instead of just vocal, just lyric content, visual performance etc. Their topics of choice is often very unique and in their own dark, humourous eyes, wordplay, visual so they really stand out in the music scene. Even the band was suprised by how many hard-core international fans they have even though they almost exclusively sing in German. So once you experience it all one by one you become a fan :)

Such perfectionists. They really, REALLY do a great job.

I’ve seen them live twice, doesn’t get better than that. Great reaction 🤘🏻🇩🇪🔥

I had a privilege of actually catching their live show in Vancouver a few years back and it is a fantastic show every frikking time!

Du Hast from the same concert is another proper pyro show along with immense crowd involvement. Ich tu der wei, also from MSG show, is another banger!

That whisteling was awesome, I love that contrast. Really cool !

Till Lindemann the singer is a qualified pyrotechnician, before this band he was going to be an olympic swimmer but had to stop due to an injury. I'm glad cos we have Rammstein.

How cool is that Pyrotecnic and selfmade by the leadsinger, he is one.

"Ich tu dir weh" is one of their best songs, it was censored in germany, it is about sadomasochism and the singer burns the pianist alive on stage. An easy reccomendation.

Very nice reaction once again! You have to see 'Mein Teil' live by them. That's a proper show. Also saw them live last year and man that was insane.

Several of the band members are formally trained pyrotechnicians - which they had to become for some of their more advanced pyrotechnics to be allowed.

I'd recommend 'Rammleid' live from Madison Square Garden next. It's so epic.

The video of their live show in Moscow is amazing to both listen and watch.

Great you keep reacting to them. Ive been to four concerts with them so far, all up front, and the heat is real. They are my favorit live band. But their lyrics and videos are sup too. Mein Teil is really good live, and my favorite videos are Sonne and Deutschland.

Your face impressions ... timeless! Greetings from Germany. ♥

Hands down best concert I have ever been to. Nothing will come close.

Watch their official video for Deutschland. You won't be able to do a reaction video to it as it'll get stomped on immediately but it's an astonishing piece of work.

Amazing video! Thanks for making this rainy day better :) You should definitely give the 2019 tour a shot! Visuals and pyro are top-notch with the 2019-setup (some suggestions for the 2019 tour would be "Mein Teil", "Sonne" and "Rammstein" from the concert in Moscow).

I guess the next songs should be “Mein Herz brennt” and “Sonne”. Obviously live versions.

The mic stand has a pivot and a pedal so he can kick it out of the way and also step on the pedal to get it back up. The other guitarist has his on some sort of lift that raises it up from below the stage when he needs it.

They're super great live. I'd recommend Du Hast and Sonne live as well

I shouldn't have watched this. I've been dying to catch Rammstein live since I was 14(2004). This year was my chance. I finally got beautiful tickets to the Chicago show, plane tickets and booked a 5 star hotel room because why not. Then you know what happened. 😭 I had to miss all of this: Highly Suspect Opeth Alter Bridge (with VIP meet & greet) Chris Stapleton with Willie Nelson Megadeth and Lamb of God Deftones and Gojira Rammstein Louder than Life festival with Metallica I know we all lost shows so I'm not alone. But a year without live music is an absolute tragedy. Music is my religion. Concert venues are my church. But if I could never see another rock show again I'd die happy after being able to see most of my favorites. I even ended 2019 with 2 TOOL shows and a Slipknot show. Don't let 2020 be the year that live music died 😭🤘🏻

I remember good when I heard Engel for the first time when it came out back then ( yes I'm old ^^ ) I was blown away

That look when the flame throwers on the wing tips fire up, just amazing. And yes, there were incidents, they burnt quite a few feathers on the wings already, and yes, they ARE as heavy as they look, about 50kg, but they need to be sturdy. Can't have lightweight flappy wings on your back, when you want to build flame throwers on them.

I saw them twice in Quebec, their shows were INSANE, like the best shows ive seen litterally INSANE. On both show there was 90-100k people.

About visuals. I think that Till has control over the flamethrowers on wings. And every other thing he handles during the shows. It gives him freedom to move and act and is also safety thing. You don't want anyone else controlling dangerous things you handle. Guitarists also always have mic stands that either fall over or can otherwise easily be put out of the way when the don't need them.

I've seen them 4 times, everytime that I noticed the whistles were legit, check out rammlied from the same night at MSG

Gott in Himmel!!!! What a production!!! These guys really understand stage craft! The music may not be my pint of beer, but I certainly appreciate the work and skill that is put in to a performance. Their tech people must be LEGENDS! Would you mind if I asked for something outside of your wheelhouse? Would you have a listen to Tenille Townes' The Most Beautiful Things, and Brad Paisley's No I In Beer? Canadian content; Tenille's song is just a jaw dropping simple love song, she is a new artist who already has some very good tunes to her name. Brad Paisley's beer song is a lot of fun, and we need that right now. Nope, not metal. But hey, variety is the spice of life! And you might look at the song that made me love country; Martina Mcbride's Safe In The Arms Of Love. Small woman, HUGE voice. Have fun!

I went to more than 150 concerts in my life, I’m not a huge fan of Rammstein but god last year I saw them in Paris and the experience was AMAZING ! The greatest concert ever. Can’t wait to see them again.

Music - good. Show - great. Keyboardist outfit - FANTASTIC!

I read somewhere that the singer is also a qualified pyrotechnician.. It would appear he still practices that craft too!..... Spectacular!

If you liked the flamethrower wings you should watch Rammstein - Benzin live Madison Square Garden

7:37 Perfectly describes most people’s reaction. Nailed it!

Loved your face when the small fire at the wings started, your face was saying ”amazing” and then the jaw dropped when it really started. I would love to see you react to mein teil.

Sonne is the best (and my very favourite) of their earlier stuff, definitely well worth a go. But Deutschland is their undisputable masterpiece, absolute compulsory experience. Or for a pure live fix, Feuer Frei is worth a go too, if only for the fact that the guitarists have flamethrowers mounted on their FACES.

Love it. The look on your face when you see the fire effects is awesome. Reminds me of how I felt seeing them live back in the early 2000's. I said it last time and I'll say it again. You should check out Fruhling In Paris. It's a song that probably won't get mentioned much as it's not one of their popular or well known songs but if you are looking for a Rammstein song with a different feel and vibe to it then Fruhling In Paris is the one. It starts out slow and builds into an amazing climax. It also showcases Till's actual singing voice not just his low growl or spoken word singing. BTW. I think it's been mentioned already but the whistling is not live. They are miming the whistles.

Awesome!!! Was expecting this, really glad you enjoyed it even if it isn´t really your thing. I cannot stress enough how much I like to hear your commentary on the sound and instrument techniques in your reactions, spot on, entertaining and educational. One of their biggest earlier hits. The song is simple but at the same time has so many interesting and original bits: the whistle, the slow heavy riff, the techno breakdown, and of course the performance tops the whole thing. Do some more of their hits to ease you in. The Paris versions of "Sonne", "Links 2,3,4" and "Du Hast" are great and "Ich Tu Dir Weh" in Madison Square Garden is amazing. All solid heavy riff-driven bangers. If you want a real spectacle (the sound is not as great) try "Mein Teil" live, it´s worth it. Keep up the great reactions.

"This is your money worth show" - YES. Had the luck to get a ticket to their stadium tour in 2019 with the latest album released and it was just killing it. If you want imo the heaviest fire show, do "Mein Teil" from Rammstein... its simply sick and one the most played live performances by them i would say. Keep up the good work, really like it

Youre reaction is so much fun! And i realy enjoy that you really get into it and not just watch.. do what ever you can to see them live theyre on toure in 2021 again. You have to watch "mein teil" and "mann gegen mann" of course live! Greets from Germany

Fuer Frei, which is used in the movie XXX with Vin Diesel. There they do something crazy with fire too.

I love the shock on your face! Heh heh! Alright then people, let's gather and get Chase to one Rammstein concert! Alles zusammen! It would be so fun!

You really gotta check out ich tu dir weh by rammstein live in Madison Square garden, it's an amazing song, one of my favorites by them and it has a great performance with it

Hey, great reactions! Ich Tu Dir Weh is a great song, one of my favorites and have amazing live performance (very theatric) and powerful chorus that shows the singers "singing" capacity. Listen to the live performance from Madison Square garden, great version!

The whistling is Richard and Paul, the 2 guitarists at the front of the stage. Me, my boyfriend and our best friend saw them in 2019 at Milton Keynes, they did the slow piano version and it was just mesmerising 😍 one of the best moments of my life and my first ever concert!!

YESSS AWESOME REACTION!!! I looove how you brake down things. You notice even small parts they’re doing. No other reactor has done that until know. At least non that I know of. Maybe do Mutter live from Paris next? Its a more calm but very very meaningful song. It has a really dark vibe to it and just beautiful singing! I think you’ll like that one!

If you are impressed by this....well check out the 2019 stadium tour....it doesn’t get any better.

The weight of the wings is 50 kg (100 Pound). As Till has also a certificate in pyrotechnic he controls the fire with his metal glove. They have changed the show a little bit: Now Till lifted down from the rove, hanging on steel ropes.

That was sooooo ffffing COOL!!

your face during the pyro parts is priceless

Add my vote for 'Mutter' in Paris. Melodic. I read that Paul commented in an interview how psyched he was when he could move around freely, as you noticed when he knocked his mic stand over, because their pyro show was stage blocked so carefully for safety.

Look at his little face light up when he sees till walk out. Hahaha

about the microphone stands: the left guitarrist from audience POV (Paul Landers) can let his mic stand fall over and back again using a spring to catch it and a pedal to stand it back up. On the right side Richard Kruspe has an electronic pedal to raise or lower his mic so they can hide it

Saw them live back in 2009 and it was honestly one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. I'm hoping I get the chance to see them sometime next year when they're back to touring. I need to see them sometime in Germany!

Thank you for noticing the smaller details like the face. I appreciate these reviews so much♡ :)

I believe the keyboard player Flake's wife was the one who did the whistling that was recorded. In regards to the mic falling, Paul Landers likes to bounce his mic up and down. I've seen a gif of him (accidentally?) bonking himself in the forehead with it. I recommend "Mein Teil" or "Ich Tuh de Weh" from Rammstein. Great songs, great performances. Or maybe "Heirate Mich".

I think the whistling is coming from the keyboard or a sample but they might be sort of trying to whistle along. By the way the tldr of the lyrics is: The singer doesn't want to be an angel because they have to cling to stars and are all alone and afraid in the night sky. The start of the refrain literally translates to "[choir] When the clouds go to sleep you can see us in the sky. We are afraid and all alone. [lead singer] God knows I don't want to be an angel."

great reaction!!! rammstein is great!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 👍

Notice that during the entire song Till never actually looks/sees anyone. He backs in, turns and sings without looking either way and when he does look to his side, that’s when the guys are kneeling down. Then he looks up, ( bang bang bang), looks down (sad). They all leave the stage before he turns around. He’s alone through the entire thing. Just like he sings.

Mann gegen mann live in paris by rammstein is a great one to watch, probably their most intense song and the video and audio quality is amazing

There's 2 songs of them i really think you should watch: Mein Teil (live at Hurricane Festival) - this is one of their most iconic showpieces, really a must watch if not only for the show they bring with this song. It's also based on a pretty interesting event. Mutter (live at Paris, or perhaps the official video if it doesn't get blocked) - this is one of their more emotional/genuine songs, and the way he sings in this song feels almost exactly as how you described his more young, innocent vocals.

Lindemann looks surely like a dude you don´t want to p**s off. I give you that. And I guess, he doesn´t just look strong. His body is toughened by competitive sports. As a teenager he was a swimming athlete, he was considered to go to the Olympics in Moscow 1980. But because he had left the teamhotel during Youth European Championships in Florence/Italy (where he was seventh over 1500 m) and contacted westgerman athletes (which was not allowed then), his participation was refused by his government. He then made an education as carpenter. I met him in Berlin back in the early nineties and there he seemed to be a friendly decent strong looking guy. Good reaction. Greetings from Germany.

Saw them years ago in Australia. Music and clarity through their equipment is on another level to most others. It goes through you as well as pulling you in. Whistle is real !. 2 of the members are licensed pyro-technicians and do all their work in conjunction with the local authorities.

This is one of the songs of theirs where I know every word!

I have seen so many bands live but nobody has come close to the amazing show that Rammstien put on. And when I saw them there was a small fire on side stage that didn't interrupt the show :D

I'd love to see you react to Rammlied from the same show (Madison Square Garden). No pyro, just Till acting like a mad person.

Lovely Reaction as always

"Mein Teil" live in Paris. Then u know, what an intense show is.

Another spot on Rammstein reaction. I'm a huge fan, since the nineties, seen them 3 times (once on this tour) and going to see them again next year.. you definitely have to see them live! Love your reactions... Would you consider Faith No More to react to? Mike Patton is incredible!

There are other liver performances of this where the wings come down and he steps back onto a foot hold and straps them on, then he's lifted off the stage wearing them. I think that's how it was originally intended by there are some venues where they couldn't do that so they adapted the wings so he could just come out wearing them instead. That's what I've heard anyway, and it seems to make sense given the other live performances.

Even thought it is totally different, and maybe not that popular or well known, i would rly like to see your reaction, and mainly your amazing analysis of song "Mach Dich Frei" by FINSTERFROST. I love that song and band as well and think it deserve some attention.

The guy whistling is Richard Z Kruspe. On the album the girl sings be herself.

7:35 this will be my new excuse for everything in my life. Also your videos are extremely enjoyable. I really appreciate that you discuss the music as well 🔥

Context: this song was featured at the end of the film "Rammstein in Amerika", which you can find on Amazon Prime. The film follows the doings of the band from the middle of the 90s to 2010 and features a lot of interviews with the members and various American Musicians. It explains quite a few things about background and the sometimes awkward "affair" of the band with America, including being permanently banned from using pyro in Chicago and being arrested for performing their usual skit playing "Bück Dich". One of the American musicians hilariously recounted the time when he was offered to play a song with the band and was positioned at a particular spot on the stage. He remembered being frightened stiff of the heavy pyro artillery around, staying glued to that particular spot the whole time trying not get incinerated.

RAMMSTEIN FOR LIFE 🤟🏻R+ 🤟🏻
