Apocalyptica - 'Seemann' feat. Nina Hagen (Official Video) (Rammstein Cover) - Reaction

She sounds really evil!

[@ratzpa]

Nina Hagen is THE German Punk Queen. She is a trained opera singer. And believe or not, she is about 65 years old.

[@xsezz]

Interesting. It's ok, 65 is still young. ;)

[@derbrandmeister4660]

@@xsezz But not at the time of this video. The video was shot many years ago.

[@oliviafranzen2959]

The video does make sense. One line of the lyrics is "you take a light from the candle" in Germany you are not supposed to light your cigarette on a candle because regarding an old legend every time you do that, a sailor dies. At the end she turns off the light of the lighthouse and the sailor gets lost at see ....... also when she sings in the higher voice this refers to the legend of sirens who basically sat on a rock in the sea or in a river and sang in a high tone hypnotizing the sailor and leading their ship onto the rock or cliff. So everything in this video is referring to sailor legends and is pictured pretty well. I'm sure there is a lot more, but these are the main things I noticed.

[@xsezz]

Thank you for the explanation.

[@lublinmetalhead5547]

Actually not only in Germany, (don't know from where exactly are the orygins of this legend) basicly it was a common thing in the whole Europe when people used to smoke in Pubs and Bars. In Poland (and I think in most countries with the open access to the Baltic Sea) it was the same custom to never light a cigarette from candle.

[@romanevcki]

react to Nina Hagen - Naturträne (Rockpalast) she impresses me with her ability to sing in different keys... it's amazing......................................

[@xsezz]

Sounds good. It's on the list!

[@markuslindemann8795]

@Xsezz Catharina "Nina" Hagen is a German singer, actress and songwriter. She is known as the German "Godmother of Punk", influenced the German New Wave and was a pioneer of the Neue Deutsche Welle. she is 65 years old and a trained opera singer. her voice spans four octaves. Take a look at her live videos from the late 70s to the mid 80s. musically certainly not to everyone's taste but definitely worth seeing.

[@KotoRyuda]

I‘d like to add that she like Rammstein is from East Germany. It feels like she’s been always there...

[@xsezz]

Interesting. Thank you for the background information. Just in this song I could hear the range of her voice and I'm sure that's nothing to what she's really capable of.

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

She is from east germany, but she was moved early bevore unification and the communist goverment had no problems with that she leave.

[@Onkel_Richard]

@@PropperNaughtyGeezer i guess they were happy to get rid of her 😂

[@Onkel_Richard]

She's very famous in Germany .. for beeing a Singer and Actor ... but also for beeing kind of Crazy ^^

[@lacrichat]

No guitars, just distored cellos ^^ She's a punk icon, she started in 1977, great voice, great facial expressions.

[@d34d10ck]

Just distorted cellos? Really? Wow! Yeah she does have some very... unique facial expressions. ;)

[@verlorenModus]

@@xsezz i'm not sure but i think that some of that distortion is from bow pressure. if you press hard on the strings with the bow it increases the friction and can create a scratchiness in the tone. Apocalyptica in general is awesome, though i prefer their nonvocal pieces the best as i love hearing the cello sing. this is one of my favs live kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoOkf3pqrLWYbtU

[@untergehermuc]

My girl here is super impressive. She has a vocal range most opera singers don’t have. She is a trained opera singer who then moved to punk. She is completely crazy but really talented.

[@xsezz]

What's crazy is pulling the switch from Opera to Punk. It's like two completely opposite styles. ;) Good for her!

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

"Hoch stand der Sanddorn am Strand von Hiddensee. Micha, mein Micha und alles tat so weh...." Looks not bad for an 65 years old girl.

[@michaelfinck7487]

Nina Hagen is ten times crazier than all Rammstein members combined. Till runs always for his life, when he meets her

[@xsezz]

LoL! Really? That's funny!

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

I think you dont know her.

[@jansenterman5432]

Fakt! 😉

[@andreasschmidt666]

hello old friend you may not believe it but Nina is a proud 66 years old, she is an absolute punk icon and made us all happy in our youth with her music and her appearance to this day her voice and her music are unforgettable, there is also a live one Version of this song that you can find on KZbin great performance please comment this Greetings from Germany from Andreas

[@xsezz]

Hi there. Yup, people have informed me of her age and status in other comments. :) The fans love her! Thank you for the suggestion, I'll add it to the list!

[@wolfgangengel4835]

She sounds like an evil Disney witch. 😄 But she is a german legend. Somewhere between punk, goth and opera. An honor for Rammstein, that she covers them.

[@xsezz]

Aaaah Disney witch. You're so right! LoL!

[@untergehermuc]

She did the German dub of the witch in _Spirited Away._ It was hilarious

[@wolfgangengel4835]

[@sjfvet519us]

@@wolfgangengel4835 Yes, she played the Evil Queen. Her daughter, Cosma Shiva, played the part of Snow White. There is also a sequel where the 7 dwarves are transported to the real world.

[@frenchbulldoghugo3085]

Question: how many octaves is Nina able to sing? Answer: all of them.

[@enricokramer7469]

for the sake of form, in published works 5 octaves and 1 note, officially measured and confirmed 6 octaves. she is therefore an absolutely exceptional talent, only a few people in the world can achieve such a vocal range.

[@neomimzyneomimzy5095]

She played the evil queen in a german snow white movie 😁

[@xsezz]

Yup, makes perfect sense. :)

[@rifleassassin93]

Thanks for reacting to this and glad you liked it! If I might to drop another recommendation: "Heilung - In Maidjan" and "Heilung - Hamrer Hippyer" both in the LIFA concert version. They are a band of scandinavian/german people who describe their music as "amplified history from early medieval northern Europe". In Maidjan has an astonishing singing performance and Hamrer Hippyer is almost ancient techno which you might really enjoy.

[@xsezz]

Absolutely. You had me at "techno". ;) Thank you for the suggestion!

[@fuzzybarnes5124]

Rammstein and Nina Hagen has roughly the same Roots. Both grown up in the former GDR has a similar age and their Music isnt that far away. Apocalyptica is a well known guest in some Concerts kzbin.info/www/bejne/m328mWWDmsiabs0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXqqdpuQr555nqM kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ-WoauZgciaibc So the combination of Nina Hagen and Apocalyptica ist nothing more than a BBQ Party with Neighbors

@@Baengyou Opera is impressive.

[@BadMoonHorrors]

As far as I understand it, everyone can cover everything, as long as you dont change the lyrics or the melody. That's why there are so many tribute bands out there. You need permission for samples, although claims because of sampling small bits and pieces got denied several times. For example the only time ABBA gave permission for a sample was for Madonna's Hung Up and they stated Austrian dance project Edelweiss used the chorus melody from S.O.S on their 1988 hit Bring me Edelweiss without permission (but apparently have not taken any actions about it).

[@xsezz]
