This report was made in 2021/22 before shocking and serious multiple allegations of sexual misconduct were levelled against Till Lindeman. Numerous women have described a system of grooming of young female fans for sex with the singer. This video does not address these accusations. It deals mainly with accusations of bad taste, extreme-right wing ideology and flirting with fascist iconography.

The band was never right-wing, but just attracted stereotypes (angry, militaristic perceptions) about Germany through their music and activities. Any band could have done the same without getting labeled as right-wing. Only Rammstein attracted controversy owing to their nationality. Sometimes, I think they just like to troll and let the ignorants market their music through this controversy. Only people who listen to them diligently know what their music is about, and how poetic and deep the lyrics can be.

One of the best decisions I have ever made in my life was to see Rammstein live in Berlin. 4 shows across Germany taking it all in. So many Germans kept asking “Why are you here?” I simply replied “there is no where better to see Rammstein.” I’ll come back this summer for the shows in Berlin! The band and the music mean so much to me. There is a song for every emotion.

@@Jarihxit’s quite different than English structurally. Individual nouns are quite easy and logical. (Example Haus= House Tier= Animal Haustier= pet. However, what’s really confusing is that each noun has one of three genders Der, Die, or Das which in English would be replaced by simply saying The. Also most sentences have the verb at the end. So „I’m going to the shop“ is „Ich bin der Laden gehen“ which literally translates to „I am the shop going“… so no, it’s not actually very easy

Olympiastadion Berlin, more than 60.000 fans sing songs like "Deutschland" or "Du hast" as loud as they. It is great but a bit scary too. It gives an idea of how fanatism works. You feel as one powerful and unstopable organism. I will be there again. July 2023!

It was 1997 when "Du Hast" was released, I was 4 years old and it blew my mind as a kid when I saw the video on MTV. I'll never forget that day and I will always remember when my Mom kept re-recording the video on VHS, so she can show my Dad once he came home from work. It blew his mind as well because we became huge fans ever since that day and Rammstein never disappointed us since. Now, fast forward 25 years later and I finally went to my first Rammstein concert here in NJ at MetLife Stadium. As in my Dad's honor, especially since it has been 10 years since he has have been gone, I made sure to not miss this show at all. I took my 64 year old rockstar Mom along with me because she's a metalhead herself and we couldn't miss this opportunity. Plus, Mom and I just couldn't stop headbanging to every song Rammstein played and we were in section 226, which was an excellent experience and I uploaded some videos myself on KZbin. By the way, to all of you on here, Rammstein is one of my all time favorite bands and definitely the greatest band you will ever since live, which is why I recommend you all to one day go to their concert. 🎸🤘

Part of my family was one wiped out during the Holocaust. I personally love that Rammstein are not afraid to use evocative imagery to call out the worst parts of history. I got misty eyed the first time I saw Deutschland. Look at the patches they wear in camp scene- there is a lot of significance there, representing the people who died for being different race, politics, or sexual orientation. This is absolutely what Rammstein has always been about, bold expression to make you think.

From an American's perspective: Rammstein IS Germany, Germany IS Rammstein. Yes, Germany is still to this day associated with either happy images of forest dancing beer drinking jovial yodelers or even overpositive, "safe" people who are super efficient and nice, or they're linked to their history, with its many rises, falls, highs and lows, from Bismarck to Adolf, the Wall and Reunification. But what is at the center of it all? You find a country very willing to push buttons, boundaries, and the ironic preconception of modern Germany has only made the ignorantly kindly outside impose this odd view that Germans are simply the former, they cannot speak about their darker times because it somehow revives their Inner Adi or some silly notion. Rammstein and their song "Deutschland" is not just a push from formerly East Germans expressing themselves from a highly rigid society, it's a national expression of "We are German, we know we the past century was completely f*cked in the head, yet we are going to keep our heads high because we can, and we will do better!" Or from a WW1 German's communique, "Die Lage ist ernst, aber nicht hoffnungslos".

That's exactly what all 'art' should be regardless of the medium. Art should comfort those who are disturbed and disturb those who are comfortable. It should make you think, open your mind to question what you know, feel, think, or understand, and perhaps alter those things or even reinfoce them. That's its purpose when done properly. And Rammstein does it properly. Art is ultimately subjective, but it shouldn't be scared to be provocative and force people to look at all of humanity, the good, the bad, and the ugly. That's what I hate about 'cancel culture' of Gen-Z. They're not willing to be subjective or question what's perhaps uncomfortable to them. Instead, they entrench themselves in their own feelings and what they WANT to understand, and if they don't like how it makes them feel they try to remove it from everyone else's view and enforce their own views on everyone else as a result and try to be the arbiters of everyone else's reactions and thoughts. Theyre hardly proponents of free speech and freedom of expression. Yet try to force all of society to use THEIR choice of language, such as pronouns. Yet fail to see the irony in that. lol. It's a tad ridiculous really to me. It's just art and expression. Let it be and allow everyone their own experiences and feelings about it. Provocation isn't a bad thing. That's what I think and feel anyway. I'm sure some will disagree. Lol.

I and some friends skipped our last ever days of High School to travel to see Rammstein on the Mütter tour - I've seen them two times since then (along with literally over 100 other rock and metal gigs) and can comfortably say they are the best live acts in history. No-one else comes close to the spectacle of their shows. They've taken the Rock&Roll Vaudeville concept pioneered by the likes of Alice Cooper (who I've also seen twice and highly recommend) and raised it to the stratosphere. Everyone should see this band at least once.

There's kind of a refreshing sort of purity about Rammstein. They're all about their art, but not in a pretentious way. They want to make cool little action films and play with fire and just do cool stuff. They've never phoned it in, and they've never gouged their fans like some other musicians their age **cough metallica cough**.

Ive been a fan since I was 13. It was 1998 and one of our local rock radio stations had gotten into their music, so they were keeping Du Hast in rotation. Once I heard it I was instantly memorized.Once I saw their stage presence though, I was a diehard fan. I'm 37 now and that hasn't changed. Went and saw them last Summer on their stadium tour. It was a dream come true for me! Bless Rammstein and their dedication to their craft.

The working title of the song Links 2 3 4 was simply Links. A demo-version with this file name was released as a free MP3 download on the official website as a promotion on the forthcoming album Mutter on December 10, 2000. When this is a political statement, why change the name? And you should see the complete lyrics as a whole & not cherry-picking 3 sentences. The heart always beats on the left anatomically, with rare exceptions. And in Old-German, the word "rechten" can mean "richtigen" (Translation: correct)

Rammstein is a highly intelligent Band. They play (literally) with being doubtful and this makes them such great artists. Most of their songs, if not all, can be read in so many different expressions but only the “dumb people” will think that’s right mental goods. I see a lot of Rammstein reaction videos by English folks and it’s some kind of funny but also sad that they never get the full potential of this band just because German is a language that can express so many different things with the same words. And I love how the whole world is fascinated by this band. Greetings by a german🖖🏻

In order to understand the lyrics properly, you not only need to get the language, but also the historical references the band points to. And there are plenty. Even I as a German sometimes do not get all of their references hearing the songs. These boys are really clever when it comes to lyrics, and I guess you have to keep in mind their roots in the GRD, where you had to be really careful what to say in public (or on stage).

They were not super well known in States at that time, so there were no intimidation or a star stuck feeling. Looking back I am impressed how humble they were and how fun it was to communicate at that time. Last year I went to seem them in LA Coliseum during the North America Tour. That was good and I would not mind to go again when they come back!

My parents still live there. It's even today still a leftie place though the big gentrification process in Berlin after the Fall of the Wall started here and today more wealthy ppl live there and most of the clubs are closed. Nethertheless it's still a cultural and night life hot spot in Berlin. So Rammstein is left-wing orientated with liberal touch.

Is weirdly ironic that just because of their Nationality and the music genre they are in (Rock) Rammstein are labeled as right-wing or the lyrics of their songs have no meaning, when they literally have some really interesting and kind of deep lyrics. Deutschland for example is a beautiful melody of the band loving their country but can't love them fully for the awful sins of their story or Adieu that speaks about dead loved ones and the desire of seeing them again. So many more songs too in the large history of the band have done that as well; although we can't ignore some like "Diche Titten" or "Du Rischt so gud" (hope I'm spelling it good enough) it still can be argued that they are just having fun and trolling those who never really wanted to give them a chance in the first place

Even though Dicken Titten may seems goofy, if you listen to the text, you notice it again has a much deeper meaning, some like Deutchland, Äuslander, Adeui what are maybe grander topics, Zick-Zack, Dicke Titten, Du Riechst zo Gut all have the same double message hidden. Dicke Titten is more of people that desire something for years, but yet fail to see its right in front of them all the time, maybe just not exactly how you imagined it, if you just would be more open minded, Hence Richard's role and the all the woman surrounding him that he desired but fails to see Zick-Zack is also such a song with a huge tong in cheek to a certain demographic of people and of they fakeness to keep trying to look younger, instead of embracing your age.. But like they always do, the songs and clips compliment each other to puzzle out the hidden/deeper meaning of they songs.

Rammstein is pure art. They have created a genre of their own... Their lyrics are deep and meaningful, albeit dark and grotesque. The reason they are so hated is that people know them only by their rephrains; and the rephrains on their own are sounding rightwing indeed, but when you hear the whole text it makes perfect sense for anyone with a leftsided mind - and the reaction of the people is part of their art - just like the goldfish-in-the-blender art was meant to startle people, and the reaction was the whole pointe. Not the fish, not the blender. But the audience's reaction. Much love and respect for you guys in Rammstein.

That said, there are some songs I just can't listen to anymore after I had learned German. Throughout the late 90s I truly loved Spiel mit Mir. Then I learned German and had to stop listening to it. But there are so many amazingly beautiful songs - some of which are dark and deep while others jaunty and uplifting.

I was hooked the first time hearing "Du Hast" and have been a fan since. I can't believe its been so long since then but love to hear how Till is so connected to his home town.

As a german it was somewhat common in my schools year 10 and further to write essays analizing the poetry and deeper messages of Rammstein songs. They`re like onions: so, so many layers and sometimes someone starts crying.

I discovered Rammstein a couple of years ago and have been hooked ever since. Saw them in Chicago in September. I never thought they were right-ring. It’s always been clear to me that they use their music to critique culture and not just theirs. Amerika is “not a love song” about the USA. It’s a parody of America’s inescapable influence around the world…for good or for ill. I just think they’re amazing, the band as a whole and each member’s individual story and what they bring to the band. It would be awesome to know them personally and to see whatever juxtaposition exists between their personal lives and their onstage persona and to know what makes them tick and how that influences their creative process.

Contrary to various comments, the song that introduced me to the world of Rammstein was Sehnsucht (live from Berlin, 1998). Although I don't know much german (just some few words) I understand the lyrics via translators (even with the mistakes that translations app makes). I think Rammstein is one of a kind band. They are not the type of guys that are feared to put taboo themes as topics for "normal" conversations.

Despite how their songs are.....the band members always seem very soft-spoken and thoughtful in their interviews. My personal opinion, of course :-)

Why do I need to care if they’re left of right? Music is meant to uplift the spirit and that’s no job for the thinking brain but for the feeling soul alone!

Amazing live show great music even if you don’t understand the lyrics and if you read them any are very poetic the range of music is captivating it’s interesting their visuals and pyro is first class making the show great even if you don’t follow the music and they continue to put out relevant music that seems timeless and still fun to listen to

Aren't they like a theatrical musical experience which transcends just being a band? They elevated themselves into a high art status which all bands want to aspire to and most fail.. they are a national treasure and I don't even listen to their music

It must be hard growing up in Germany by having to be constantly cognisant of how other people could perceive anything one says and does; with respect to a single recent historical period in time.
