HIP HOP FAN’S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Rammstein - Deutschland' | GENUINE REACTION

[@spring_in_paris]

Hello. I'm from Germany so let me give you some thoughts from someone who's born here. First of all, first time I watched the video I was shocked and deeply moved. The song/ video takes a very deep look into our german souls and how a lot of us feel about our country. It's a love- hate- relationship. The video is loaded with tons of symbols, that as a German you catch onto. Let's start: in the intro you see Germania ( Personification of Germany) during roman/ germanian tribes time. The red Lazer represents the "red thread" of the story/ history. Astronauts from the future bringing Germania in a glass coffin (snow-white) so she can lead through the/her german history. You see a submarine on in the hangar. Next you observe the twenties(Weimar Republic).The prison scene representing the rough, violent times especially for the majority of the population struggling to survive. Money raining down/ the great depression. And Germany's first try as a democratic state. In between Germania is dressed in knight's armor awaking her knights/band with the Lazarus spear. Next Germania is pushed in a wheelchair by the band through the Berlin Holocaust Memorial with burning bodies. (Imagine the statue of liberty being shown like that. Sorry couldn't come up with an equivilliant image of Britania). Next vignette the office scene showing east Germany and west Germany reunited (1990). Then you're being taken back to mideveal times, monks/ church are feasting off of Germania. In most scenes you'll see some church man involved. No coincidence. The concentration camp scene in the background you see V2 rockets ignition. The inmates are wearing different types of stars on their chests and a sign on the gallows reads: no photos. Germania wears an eye-patch first on her left, than on her right eye. Than a quick shot of Germania dressed modern with lots of gold leading german shepherds., representing Germany's wealth. The 70's scene shows the RAF- extremists holding Germania/ Germany hostage. Next vignette is the witch burnings shifting to the book burning. If you have a close look, at minute 4:45 you see a church man holding up a cross hugging a Nazi, symbolising the churches over all position to the horrific events happening during 1933-1945. The birth scene. Taking place in Valhalla. Germania is giving birth to dogs respectively "Leonberger" a breed preferred by Kings and Queens. The Breed almost went extinct during WW1 and WW2. A cardinal/ Constitutional judge (dressed in red) dressed in red helping a new Germany being born. At minute 5:50 you see the riots against refugees homes in the 90's in Hoyerswerda. Molotovs are being thrown and a car is being pushed over with the help of a man dressed in Nazi uniform. Than the scenes/ time vignettes start shifting faster and faster, showing how many times, when circumstances becoming too extreme everything is falling apart and Germania ( dressed in knight's) armor is crying. The outro is the piano version of the song "Sonne" which completes how we feel thinking of our past: a sense of sadness. To sum it up. Germany has a long, wild, violent, unique history, because we as a state of today exist only since 1990. Yet the roots go back a very long time. "Young and yet so old" I hope that helped a little to understand the video and with that us Germans. We don't have a strong feeling of patriotism, but a strong sense of unity. With love from country of Poets and thinkers.❤

[@jefffrey4844]

Much appreciated! First time I've heard this song along with the video. My reaction was similar to MB's!

[@kaypoling66]

Thank you so very much for the history insight!

[@SkateSoup]

Thank you so much for the context and the perspective, it brings things much more to life.

[@kaypoling66]

Thank you so very much for explaining this intense song!

[@vass0922]

Not a criticism, but do you actually type this out of do you have it cut and paste? Every reaction for this video somebody inevitably has the long explanation for all the details.. and it's a lot to go over. I can't imagine typing that out more than once..

[@NO-78-9]

It’s about loving and hating different aspects of your country and its history. All the scars and all.

[@marysampietro2359]

For what it's worth this is the only time I have ever played a KZbin reaction on the big screen in my living room instead of on my phone

[@johntheisen6791]

Better for your eyes.

[@twelvemonkeys8786]

No way.. that's insane. I watch everything on the big screen. 😮

[@DavidThomas-vj3eu]

What a hell of a song to pick.lol

[@glenngavan9424]

The piano outro is from their track Sonne

[@wolfinthesno]

holy crap, idk how i didnt realize this, thank you.

[@Desu-Desu-Chan-San]

@@wolfinthesno They have a few piano versions out there

[@davem287]

Yeah so sonne next is epic

[@UltraViolent21]

Sonne is heavy af

[@Peter_Cetera]

The most epic music video ever made!

[@boqndimitrov8693]

these people are just born to make great music and videos! ❤❤❤

[@dmwalker24]

Jumped right in the deep end with this one. I'm not a German speaker, but I've poured over the lyrics, and the translation so much for this song, so I could sing along accurately. At this point I understand every word. It's a true work of art, and a message that has become even more relevant in the last few months.

[@FindYourSuccess]

Rammstein official videos are second to none. 'Angst' and 'Adieu' will amaze you.

[@arnodobler1096]

and "Zeit"

[@Jonke75]

The only band that can outbeat them is "Sabaton" and I have a feeling that Jocke is inspired by Rammstein when it comes to quality productions.

[@karenglenn6707]

63yr old Aussie mum here who absolutely adores this band, thanks to my then teenage son playing them at home in the early 2000’s. The outro, which as has been mentioned is Sonne, a beautiful song written by them. So many excellent songs, I listen to them in the car and make the windows rattle. My son got to meet Til in Melbourne Australia about 8yrs ago and had his photo taken with him while he was doing a promo visit for his other project Lindemann, which I love too. My boy has only one tattoo and it is Rammstein’s logo on his upper arm. Amazing band!! Oh and a Ohne Dich is another favourite!! Haifisch and Ich Tu der Wir are brilliant!!

[@wietholdtbuhl6168]

Respect Ms. Glenn😊 Greetings from Deutschland

[@453543ification]

Greetings from the Russian Federation!

[@anpat3]

Glad I ‘m not the only 60 year old that loves them!!

[@TheRiehlThing42]

I love Rammstein, they're amazing. Du Hast is the song they're known for, which is a shame. I feel it is just simple, and overly repetitive. I still love it when I hear it, and crank it up, but to me, they have a huge list of songs that are better. I'm glad you're experiencing more Rammstein. Awesome reaction! List of songs better than Du Hast, no particular order Deutschland (obviously) Sonne (the piano song you heard at the end is the piano version of this) Links 2, 3, 4 Mein Hertz Brennt Mein Land Ohne Dich Rosenrot Mein Teil (not sure you're ready for this one, don't look up the lyrical translation, just walk around banging your head, yelling "DAS IST MEIN TEIL!!!!!'", then go look up the lyrics after) Radio Auslander Angst Zeit Dicke Titten Adieu Ich Tu Dir Weh Amerika Feuer Frei Engel

[@alexanderpracher6753]

One of the best songs for "us Germans". Some people may understand the Lyrics but no one else feel them like us. This is history and emotion.

[@lonesomevalkyrie]

The piano at the end of the song is a piano version of their song Sonne which is a video you should check out.

[@KattMurr]

Rammstein has sooooooooo many amazing songs!!! You have barely gotten started...you are in for an amazing journey with this band!!!

[@steveshaw6644]

There is no better live band. The last and current tour had the biggest stage I’ve seen. It was huge. Seen them live 7 times and they just get bigger and bigger with the stage show.

[@genesis1701]

This entire song is a history lesson. And they do not shy away from reality.

[@silvertongue3003]

The, THE best, most amazing, most spectacular, most controversial, most historical song and video ever created, once you understand the song it will bring you to tears everytime you watch it!! 🥰🥹🤩🤯

[@mikegc3816]

You need to do more mate, lots of their other songs will give you the chills and Goosebumps

[@bareakon]

Lyrically, this song is about Rammstein's complex feelings about Germany and its history (Hence the video) Basically they struggle with balancing their desire to be patriotic with the horrors (particularly the recent ones) their country has been responsible for. Lines like "Will dich lieben und verdammen / I want to love you and condemn you" and "(Deutschland) meine Liebe kann ich dir nicht geben / (Germany) my love I cannot give you" are pretty much the core idea of the song. Which on a personal note, is a level of nuance I think a lot of Brits and Americans could benefit from applying to our own history.

[@politicalscientist8880]

Spot on dude.

[@UrbexForgottenTimes]

I love rammstein, I was at 3 Konzerts and I have tears in my eyes when I watch your video you feel thee musik but you don't understand the text it's amazing ❤

[@Truth65300]

More Rammstein, let's go 👍

[@JennRighter]

This is a masterpiece of a song and video.

[@teresas8173]

For English lyric educatedmarine or Buckstabu are two channels that provide English lyrics. Rammstein has a huge catalogue of phenomenal songs. Please more Rammstein ❤️‍🔥 Try Sonne next, live version is awesome and the official video very cool. They have incredible live shows and videos as well. I saw them in Sept 2022, best concert I have ever been to ❤️‍🔥

[@BalbazaktheGreat]

Perhaps the most astounding music video in existence.

[@albedo0point39]

The piano part at the outro is the melody from another of Rammstein’s tracks: “Sonne”. That track itself is well worth watching. Yep, Rammstein is full of synthesiser - it’s kind of a mix of metal and ‘Industrial’ (which is a rock genre from the 80s/90s integrating synths and noise). Rammstein is amazing. This is a deep rabbit hole!

[@EchoesDaBear]

GREAT reaction Molly Boy!! Indeed...Du Hast was amazing - this is incredible!! I had the same face as you when this was released! Having Germany heritage and knowing the language, I understood the lyrics. I highly suggest finding a version that subtitles the lyrics in English - it's quite profound what Rammstein did here! The production value of this video is top notch! It's cinematic. Basic gist - it's showing Germany's history (well, the violent/turbulent parts anyway) - from the Roman invasion, Weimar years, Nazi years, etc...lyrics deal with a displaced sense of patriotism. The Germans want to be proud and love their nation, but there is a guilt, almost shame, in doing so given how many horrors have occurred in their past. LOVE this track. Cheers!

[@the1khronohs40]

All Rammstein videos are sick! 🤘🔥

[@robstershadille2047]

YOU are feeling IT!

[@mavrick6088]

Rammstein is the one band that you don't have to understand anything they say and you still love the music and their sound

[@arnonyhm4055]

This is one of the best videos from Rammstein and at the same time one of the most difficult content to fully understand. The song is about Germany (Deutschland) and the band's feelings about their home country which has a rather violent history (not only in WW2). It is a kaleidoscope of scenes from 2000 years of German history (some more symbolic, others painfully accurate) and additionally some scenes that might happen in the future when archaeologists are searching for artefacts of German history. The woman is Germania, played by the German actress Ruby Commey. Germania is not a literal person, but was a personification of Germany for centuries. All other main roles are played by the six members of Rammstein. The scene when the monks seem to eat Germania references to the Thirty Year's War (1618-1648), which started as a religious war. As a result of that war - masses of people starved or died by plagues. And the church took what little they had left to live on. If you are interested in more details about some of the historical events referenced in Rammstein's video, you may take a look at this content-wise analysis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZSQlqiMgZ2rh9U Even for me as a German guy there were some details that I was not aware of. Also the lyrics are explained a bit and the assumed reason for Rammstein to come out with this video. And there is an explanation why the video caused some harsh reactions BEFORE it was fully published.

[@michi4884]

U need to react more songs of them, they are fireee!, "Sonne" was the credits song, one of my favorites

[@user-nr2cs2rq7h]

This was the first music video that I felt like I needed to clap after seeing it originally lol. It's just that good. Rammstein are in a league of their own and this song shows that perfectly.

[@anthonyblakely399]

This is my first time hearing the band Rammstein. I absolutely love this song and band. Love the music!!! I am going to buy this album on Amazon. 🎉🎉🎉

[@the1khronohs40]

The ‘synthesizer’ is Flake, the guy on the treadmill playing the synth. 😜

[@jjs3890]

Don’t speak a word of German but been a Rammstein fan for over very long 20 years. Du Hast was my introduction to the band but they have so many albums and songs with so many different sounds and flavor. Hertzelied is a brutally heavy album but all the others have something amazing to offer.

[@macmurphy74]

Richard and Paul are criminally underrated guitarists.

[@caggius42]

I am really looking forward to this. This is one of those videos you really need to watch twice. The first for the in-your face impact of the video rather than the music and the second time after you have read the many explanations on its coverage of German history and also the bands back ground so you understand the points it is trying to make. You will probably need a third viewing just to listen to it…..

[@ravenofroses]

so the bare-bones explanation of this video is that it's a journey through german history, from the very earliest days through to the present (and the space stuff represents a future vision of germany), the black woman you see throughout is a representation of germany/germania (if you look close you can see that she's almost always wearing the colors of the german flag), who you can see alternately thriving, being abused, and abusing others. (also the dogs she gives birth to are a specifically german rare breed.) you can find tons of videos and articles explaining which periods and incidents specifically are being depicted. tbh i think this is one of the best and most thoughtful music videos ever made.

[@Kaiser_Paradigm]

The first pronunciation was spot on! The thing I love about Till, the singer, is he sounds the same live as he does on the records. Korn and Rammstein were what got me into the 90s/00 metal scene in my teens! Add SOAD and that's my childhood!

[@Brando-Lee3725]

YO ! This needs to be a full length movie !!!! And the next song by them to do should be Engel !!! It is so epic . Also another cool video with it as well .

[@MetalphysicalMel]

If you ever get a chance to see them live GO! It will be the best concert experience of your life.

[@gaiavenus]

I love Rammstein, and it always amazes me how good of actors they are in all their videos, better than many actors out there. Awesome reaction as always 🤘😎👍💯

[@S-yr9il]

Great reaction! "Adieu" and "Zeit" are in the same line if You like the movie-style. If You like surprising turns try "Sonne" and "Mein Land". If You like meaningful storylines and deep lyrics: "Mother" and "Angst". If You like badass-movie-performances try "Ich will" and "Mein Herz brennt". And for downright creepy I suggest "Mein Herz brennt-piano version" or "Mein Teil". Just a few suggestions for official videos 😉

[@AlessandroGenTLe]

Oh man, I'm not sure if their best video is this or Adieu one. Both masterpiece. This one represent so many parts of German history, from the V2 missiles used in WW2, to the burning Lindenburg airship, the holocaust, the church munchin on the Germany while the population was starving, the terrorism during the '70s... SO MUCH stuff there.

[@BilliBoy078]

Es sind beide GENIAL gemacht

[@DelcoRailfan611]

Did anybody notice how they throw in the titles of their other songs casually in the lyrics

[@mattblatchley2061]

Have heard Du Hast about a million times, but never this one...very interesting; great music compelling video!

[@gardner3d]

It's been a. Blast watching you become born again.

[@katjawege6886]

Rammstein is always great, onstage as well as their music videos. A very good song and music video is "Angst". Great music, great lyrics, great video. Don't miss it! Lots of love from Germany ❤

[@aerialarboreal9005]

Watched a video of a fella explaining all of this and it's a German history lesson... So much symbolism that you can't keep up!!

[@Hofmeister77]

Welcome to Rammstein. Best live band Best Music videos Best Band!

[@maalrenan]

The song played in the piano at the end is called Sonne. Its also a great song. Try It out. Nice choice Deustchland is a awesome song. Rgds from Brazil

[@johnkobling]

One of my absolute favorite songs from Rammstein. They have aged well, I think, and their two latest albums are the best they have ever been imo. Du hast is an iconic song from them, but there are so many other and better songs.

[@kieranobrien7342]

They have insane production

[@jolazpulin5544]

Amazing stuff bro, hope to see more Rammstein on the channel!

[@joatagewin]

Yaas. Its a goods one. They have a very solid disco.

[@gaynard]

Yep, as said before, the piano outro was Sonne, and for me, that would be the logical next step into the wonderful world of rammstein! 🎉

[@OliOllsen]

This music video is a God Damn masterpiece. The song and the lyrics itself are already great. But with theese visuals...! Man! It's like a ride through German history. From the very beginning when the romans came to Germany, until the great unification and beyond. There are some good analysis in English language, if you want to understand more of the visuals. Cheers Mate, from Deutschland

[@ry5chak]

Welcome to the world of Rammstein. This is the best German car.

[@samuelprince6491]

Rammstein - ich will 🤘😎🤘

[@elbubsio4947]

The lyrics in English - You (You have, you have, you have, you have) Have cried a lot (Cried, cried, cried, cried) Separated in spirit (Separated, separated, separated, separated) United in heart (United, united, united, united) We (We are, we are, we are, we are) Have been together for so long (You are, you are, you are, you are) Your breath's cold (So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold) The heart in flames (So hot, so hot, so hot, so hot) You (You can, you can, you can, you can) I (I know, I know, I know, I know) We (We are, we are, we are, we are) You (You stay, you stay, you stay, you stay) [Chorus] Germany - my heart in flames Want to love and damn you Germany - your breath's cold So young, and yet so old Germany! [Verse 2] I (You have, you have, you have, you have) I never want to leave you (You cry, you cry, you cry, you cry) One can love you (You love, you love, you love, you love) And want to hate you (You hate, you hate, you hate, you hate) Presumptuous, superior Take over, hand over/puke Surprise, invade Germany, Germany above everything [Chorus] Germany - my heart in flames Want to love and damn you Germany - your breath is cold So young, and yet so old Germany - your love Is a curse and a blessing Germany - my love I can't give you Germany! Germany! [Bridge] You I We All of you You (superior/overpowering, unnecessary) I (Übermenschen weary) We (The higher you climb, the further you fall) You (Germany, Germany above everything) [Chorus] Germany - your heart in flames Want to love and damn you Germany - my breath's cold So young, and yet so old Germany - your love Is a curse and blessing Germany - my love I can't give you Germany! The song is about the dichotomy betwen the old traditions and the modern, forward looking aspects of Germany and how they both love or hate different aspects of that duality.

[@TheErikBallew]

For what it's worth, Rammstien usually has Closed Captions on their music videos, and KZbin's English translation is pretty spot on.

[@peterblissett9076]

This song and video are unbelievable , one of my top 10 all time favourite songs!!!!!

[@zachchristensen1104]

Another really trippy video of theirs is zeit end America that's an awesome video also

[@unbekannterbenutzer5998]

Du Hast is just kind of the entry drug for many new fans tbh

[@bjornkrummel5046]

One of Rammsteins greatest Songs is "Angst". The Video and the message are fire.

I had to watch just your intro 3 times before I could watch video reaction. I was crying with the additional stuff! Keep that 💩 up!😂

[@stephaniemcalpine3815]

There's some good historians that analyze the video on YT and they really break down all the aspects - I highly recommend watching at least one then rewatching the music video.

[@DavidThomas-vj3eu]

MollyBoyTV reminds me of my hip hop friend in the 80s when Beastie Boys came out. I'm in Heavy metal and lots of bands come from Germany. Most definitely synthesizers.

[@Stuart_Cox1969]

Nice one, brilliant song, fantastic video, so much to take in, watch it again but choose English subs for it.

[@justthetip120]

Its his voice.

[@TheRammMan]

Respect for watching the credits. It’s disturbing how many don’t! The subs were showing so all you needed to do if it was available was click on the cog and then choose the option to translate to English. It’s Rammstein sounding with the I and not e. They sing their name in four of their songs. Check out their epic music video for Mein Teil! It’s a little creepy 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnPZqJZ-ab2LbLcsi=CHgtSg8Smr_ok9FQ

[@brownwestmoreland1077]

Can't wait to see you react to MUDVAYNE! "Dig, Under My Skin, World So Cold" just to name a few good ones you could start with!

[@uluruh1527]

Thanks for the cool reaction. I think you'll like the analysis video too: "Deutschland by Rammstein: An Analysis" by Three Arrows. This will give you a lot of details and insides.

[@daveboehrer5088]

That’s the piano guy on the treadmill you have to do other videos. This is off of their 2019 just before Covid hit they do have a latest album there’s some bangers most of their professional videos are like movies mini movies to get the full effect. There are subtitlein English if you would like live performances are where it’s at their stage shows are spectacular. I must watch live is Angle or angel

[@marysampietro2359]

You're going to love this

[@davidmillschills]

U want some more Rammstein, then react to "Ich will" (( want), "Sonne" (sun), "Engel" (angel), "stripped" is a Depeche Mode cover. All great stuff you will enjoy. Cheers from Germany.

[@martingaspar8364]

I commented before and im gonna again, if you get into Rammstein it will become one of your favourite bands, but you must read lyrics its a big part of their thing, and same for SOAD

[@theRavensRed]

"Deutschland, meine liebe" Is "Germany, my love". "Du hast" is "you hate". From what it looks like in the video he's going over a bit of the history of Germany. This is actually my first time seeing this video, too. Lol And my German is pretty rusty but there are a number of words I can definitely pick out. There a websites that have the English and German lyrics side by side. Which is amazing. You must here SONNE but the lyrics matter so so much in that one. It's truly a love song and it's so very beautiful. 🖤🤘🖤 And the piano bit in the end is part of Sonne. The refrain, I believe.

[@teamneutrophils4654]

Oh boy this is going to be fun

[@SamuraiFTF]

Wollt ihr das bett in flammen sehn is my favourite song by them. if you wanna check it out, do the live in paris version :)

[@hagmann65]

We need much more Rammstein on this channel! Gogogo MollyBoy, the list is long!

[@justbenelson]

I've been a Rammstein fan since Sehnsucht was released in North American in 1997. My best friend in high school had a metal head brother who was 12 years older than us, so I was exposed to TONS of different bands before they were mainstream. We saw Christoph on the cover of Sehnsucht and were pretty intimidated, but the music was awesome (though, I was a little freaked out by the moaning at the beginning of Spiel Mit Mir). We used to go camping at RV camp sites and we'd blare that album on our boom box to piss off all our neighbors. I bought Herzeleid from Sam Goody as soon as they imported it in '98 and it wasn't too long after that I found their Live Aus Berlin album AND VHS (which I still have). I finally saw them live in 2001 when they were on their Mutter tour. They were playing at a small venue called First Avenue in Minneapolis. It was my first concert and my friend and I were about 3 rows from the front, but the opening band's lead singer from CrossBreed pointed right where we were standing and wanted a mosh pit to open. I couldn't understand what he was saying, but my friend did and he pushed me way back because, frankly, I would've been knocked out because I was unaware. It was an awesome show. Because I owned the Live Aus Berlin album, I knew crowd interaction with "HEY!" chants. I can't remember what song it was, but at one point there was just a beat in the middle of a song and I knew the audience chanted "HEY!" in the Berlin concert, so I started it at the concert and it caught on. Paul Landers pointed right at me and then started his riff. It was awesome. I'm glad you're getting into Rammstein. I work for an R&D science laboratory and my boss is a literal genius. He grew up listening to Hip Hop, but he must've heard me talking about Rammstein with one of the German partners we had visiting our lab, so he decided to check out the Live Aus Berlin album and really liked it. He said it was the right amount of rhythm, rock, beat and that Industrial Metal sound for him, so he's starting his Rammstein journey too. PLEASE react to anything from the Mutter album! It's their best album.

[@markusfrank4549]

While you were talking about the best intro on the album, I thought I should recommend "The Album" by "we butter the bred with butter", but then I saw that you haven't found that rabbit hole yet 😄 If you want to try it. Start with Hypa Hypa by Electric Callboy and then choose the one of many covers, the one from "We butter the bred with butter". You are then free to choose the path you want. Has nothing to do with Rammstein, Metallica or the other types of bands you currently react to but to be honest.. just wanna see your reaction 😅 reaction channel, right??

[@Tiisiphone]

The song is about being torn between loving your country and being ashamed of its violent past. Many events are shown in the video. Roman legionaires who survived the Battle of Teutoburg, when 3 legions were wiped out by Germanic tribes. This is considered as the birth of the German nation. - Appearance of a beautiful woman: she is Germania, the embodiment of the German nation. Rammstein chose a black german actress to give a finger to the extreme right. - Germania wakes up the dead Teutonic knights, a christian military order involved in the Crusades - Reunification of east and west germany, they all hug each other and it turns to an orgy - German immigrants in the 1920's, fighting illegal, deadly fights to make a living - Crooks in prison, devaluated money flying everywhere: the Depression during the Weimar Republic. - The clergy feasting like pigs on the body of Germania while the common people starved (Middle Ages) - Far left terrorists of the Baader-Meinhof Group (Red Army Fraction) kidnapping Germania and killing people in the 1970's. - V2 rockets taking off, the first ever ballistic missiles invented by german scientist Wehrner Von Braun, who later became an US citizen and is the father of the Apollo lunar rockets, the Saturn 5. - Prisoners of concentration camps during the Shoah, Germania is now wearing a nazi uniform. Later, the prisoners revolt and shoot the nazis. - Germania gives birth to Leonberger puppies, these dogs are typical of Germany but went almost extinct: the Nation is being reborn as a democracy - And much more stuff I didn't see or was unable to understand.

[@tatianawhittaker]

Rammstein (ram stine). They inspired me to attempt to learn German.

[@LETITBURN999]

In case you have heard ICH TU DIR WEH‼️💯

[@zackkullis5555]

This piece is gorgeous. The beauty that is modern Germany is a result of all of the good and ugly it has been through. Germany learned from the dark parts of its history and has forged itself into something powerful, beautiful, and magnificent. This song is the embodiment of all of that. If I can add a suggestion for more to listen to- Mein Herz Brennt. There is the standard version and the piano version. You could do a reaction where you watch the standard and then follow it up with the piano version. They will blow your socks off. 🤙🏼

[@megatwingo]

Hi, I'm from Germany. Rammstein is playing a classic "Industrial Metal" style. A 50-50 mix of synthesizers and hard metal guitars. A big part of the German history in one video. The black woman as Germania. Germania is the personification of the German nation. It isn't and wasn't a goddess or Joan of Arc. The glass coffin: It is Little Snow White from the Grimm-fairytales....and from their own video "Sonne". Only with black skin and in space. The piano song at the end is the song "Sonne", too. The words "Germania Magna" at the beginning are a Roman name for the area of Germany, that wasn't conquered by the Roman Empire at that time. Germania Superior and Germania Inferior were the Roman conquered areas (Roman provinces) of Germany. The line in this song "So jung und doch so alt" (So young and yet so old) means: Germany as a unified state is very young. A unified German nation is only existing from 1871 onwards. Before that year of unification Germany was made of countless, little mini-states and the people identified first and foremost as Prussians, Hessians, Saxons etc, etc, etc. and only in a second line of thought they had a lose sense of being somehow Germans, too, as a kind of unifying second identity. So the area & the landscape where the Germans are living and the Germans themselves as a people...are thousands of years old. But only recently, in 1871, there was a unified Germany as one single state. So Germany as a unified state is very young...and at the same time it is thousands of years old. The battle of the Teutoburg forest against the Romans (and Rammstein as Roman soldiers and Germans alike). That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history. The hanged bodies in the trees were the beaten Roman soldiers, who were gruesome sacrificed to the Germanic gods...and were partly nailed to the trees. The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of commanding field general Germanicus under Emperor Tiberius Augustus. Therefore we see here the arrival of the Roman troops of Germanicus and they are watching their dead comrades hanging in the trees or getting their heads chopped off (for nailing them to the trees). In reality the Romans under Germanicus found only the bones of the Varus army in the various ways they were slaughtered, sacrificed and displayed at the trees. Slaves were liberated even decades after the battle. After the scenes with the Romans we saw the Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster (the burning Zeppelin in the background). The moustaches and clothing from the fight scene are from WWI and post WWI years. From the working class people in WWI and the roaring 20's. In the WWII years later on this kind of big bushy moustache was already out of fashion. The falling banknotes in the prison are not about corruption. That scene is about the hyper-inflation of the 1920's, that took away the savings of the Germans and left them in deep poverty and desperation. One had to pay a loaf of bread with a handcart full of nearly worthless banknotes back then and it hit the German people deep down inside and in their souls. Especially the poor ones and the simple workers. The V2 rocket (first manmade object in space) as technical triumph of the German spirit...and at the same time the killing of the concentration camp prisoners in the bunker factories below the mountains during the production of that rocket. This scene in the video could be a representation of a very specific concentration camp. It was "Mittelbau-Dora" below the Kohnstein mountain. A mixture between a big, huge bunker factory for V1 and V2 rockets and a concentration camp. The concentration camp inmates had several different markings for different kinds of convicts and their "crimes" sown to their chests, like it was in reality, too. A pink triangle for homosexuals, the star of David for Jews and two of them were marked with the double-triangles for Jehovas Whitnesses. The book burnings of the Nazis and the burning of the witches of the church. In the same scene with the book burning there is EVEN MORE going on. The cooperation of the church with the Nazis, when the priest with the cross embraces the Nazi SA-man. The scene with the sign with the Hammer and a pair of compasses in a circle of wheat is the sign of the GDR (DDR). The socialist German state in the east that existed before the German reunification. Therefore it was Karl Marx in the background in the scene with the tank (not the scene at the concentration camp). The scene with Rammstein wielding guns (the pumpgun) and taking Germania hostage was about leftwing terrorism of the 1970's. The terrorists were called the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion). My interpretation of the red scanner-like beams: There are two different kinds of beams. The massive straight red light beam that goes up into the heavens AND there were those smaller, thinner "scanner" beams. Aliens (or humans from the future) are scanning the whole German history. Like some real scientists are scanning and excarvating ancient Mexican or Egyptian statues, for example. The massive red light beam is the red ribbon of time that ties together all the historical events. PS: As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany. PPS: They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages. In my opinion it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it). But that eating scene could indeed have a double meaning. It could represent the 30 years war, that was fought for religious reasons and depopulated large areas of Germany. It forced the people to commit canibalism because nobody was there anymore to produce food. Except the fat, wealthy people of the church, of course. They were still able to eat enough. Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war. The 30 years war was the biggest catastrophe in Germany until WWI happened. PPPS: The short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too. PPPPS: The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII. PPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet. Till sings the famous, often misinterpreted, line of the "Deutschlandlied" (Song of the Germans), that is not forbidden in Germany but simply isn't sung anymore in our modern national anthem. Till sings in his version the line "Deutschland über allen" (Germany above everybody) What is a BIG change to the real line in the orginal Deutschlandlied-song. In the original Deutschlandlied song it is written as "Deutschland über alles" (Germany above everything). The real, whole line of that old Deutschlandlied goes "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles. Über alles in der Welt" (Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world). This line is often misinterpreted by many people as chauvinism and as a looking down upon all other countries on this planet. But that is wrong and not many people know about that in Germany and elsewhere. The writer of that famous line didn't meant it in a chauvinistic way. When that song was written, Germany was divided into umphteenth mini-states, what made Germany relative powerless and defenseless. Therefore the task of German unification was the goal above any other goal for all Germans (at least the writer of the song meant it that way). So the main goal for all Germans had to be the united Germany. The goal of "(united) Germany above everything else". That was, how that line was meant by the writer of the song. The line isn't forbidden, like many people wrongly think. It's simply not sung anymore and not part of the official anthem of modern Germany anymore. This has NOT its reason in the seemingly chauvinist meaning of "Deutschland über alles", like many people wrongly think. This whole stanza of the Deutschlandlied isn't sung anymore, because in other parts of the stanza are borders and landscapes mentioned, that aren't German borders and landscapes anymore. We want to live in peace with the people and countries, who are now living in those former German lands and therefore we don't sing about those old borders and landscapes anymore. It has nothing to do with the "Deutschland über alles" line in that stanza, like many people wrongly are thinking. Finally: The scenes I'm now talking about are pretty dark and low light. The WWII submarine in the submarine bunker during the astronauts are walking by with the glass coffin. I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because: a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE 😄 Greetings Mega

PS: KZbin didn't allow me to integrate this information into the bigger text (above) for unknown reasons, therefore I'm posting it here: The troops, who smashed the Jewish shops during the Kristallnacht (not shown in the video) were SA (Sturmabteilung) in brown uniform and not the later SS (Schutzstaffel) in the black uniform. The SA did all the dirty work at the beginning of the Nazi rise to power...until the "Night of the long knives", an inner-Nazi power struggle, happened. The head of the SA (Ernst Röhm) was killed and from then on the SA was turned more and more into the SS under Himmler. The book burnings were part of the early Nazi years, too, and were done by the SA, too. One can see the SA burning the books and Till is watching it in a brown SA uniform. Both, Kristallnacht and book burnings were different things and happened at different times. The book burnings happened over a longer timespan at different locations at different times during the Kristallnacht was one big "event" that happened at one single day. Kristallnacht means "Crystal Night" and was called that way, because the smashed shop windows of the Jewish shops looked like thousands of crystals on the ground. But in the Rammstein video I've only seen the book burnings. PPS: The two beer drinking soldiers to the left side of the table, where Germania is lying on and where the priests are eating Sauerkraut & Sausages from her body, are not French soldiers and they aren't representing the French revolution. Those two beer drinking soldiers are Prussian soldiers and they are emphasizing the importance of Prussia for the German history. As far as I could see: They were from the era of Friedrich der Große (The Old Fritz), who was of extraordinary importance for German history. Amongst many other achievements he was the one, who brought the potato to Prussia and Germany. That saved many Germans from hunger and the potato became one of the most beloved foods in Germany on that way. PPPS: The name Rammstein comes from the German town Ramstein (with one "m"). There is an US-airbase and there happened a big, tragic airshow disaster, when two jets collided and fell into the audience. Therefore all the flames and the burning coat during the song Rammstein and all the fire in their shows in general. But that rather tasteless name and the negative press echo were too much even for Rammstein. So they changed their name later in Rammstein, what indeed means "battering stone". They delivered a half assed explanation for it decades ago. I've forgotten, what they said. A fact is, that they called themselves after that town and that airshow disaster. Probably for provocation purposes. Their old song "Rammstein" even tells in other words the story of that disaster and it tells about a fine day with a warm shining sun...and burning people. Neue Deutsche Härte was always a pretty unsatisfying new name for the music they made mainly: Industrial or Industrial Metal/Rock.

Rammstein is one of the best industrial rock bands that exists, like Crematory. Both bands are German and sing in both English and their own language. Rammstein has several albums, but the one I liked the most was Mutter, although not from that album, the song I like the most is, Ich tu dir weh. It is a topic from 2009 and obviously I recommend it to you. Now, Crematory, has the peculiarity that the vocalist sings guttural and sounds spectacular. Rammstein, yes, has a lot of keyboards and synthesizers, but added to the guitars and drums, they are a bomb. It's good that you are listening to this, I am very happy. I send you a huge hug and I hope you are well.

[@CalmLikeABomb76]

Their videos is not comparable to anything else. Watch "Zeit", "Angst", "Adieu", "Ich Will" just to get you down that rabbit hole :) Also, consider checking out their translated lyrics. Much of it is pure poesi. Great reaction, i was realy waiting for you to do this one.

[@peterszamos2723]

You've reached the pinnacle of video clips, you've found it! It brings out the best in both music and history! There is work in this, a lot of work! Different than the others. More daring, more pioneering. It makes a person think a lot. It needs to be digested. You have to watch and listen several times. Because there are so many hidden things in it!

[@anpat3]

Thx, that was really interesting hearing from your unique point of view.

[@Froggeth81]

If you ever get a chance to see Rammstein live, do it, trust me. I finally saw them a couple of years ago and it's one of the best shows I've ever been to! My personal recommendation would be Mein Herz Brennt, but there's so many songs to check out it's a real rabbit hole!

[@LETITBURN999]

In my opinion ‼️ICH TU DIR WEH‼️ THEIR BEST SONG

[@Jp421JP]

It is.

[@alexanderpracher6753]

Very good, but "one of" the best is ZEIT.

[@kieranobrien7342]

Savage lad 🤟🤘🤟 these have some great tunes

[@MrMiguella]

Do both versions of mein herz brennt, the original and the piano version

[@SuessSauerSaftig]

The name Rammstein was inspired by a tragic accident at the Ramstein Air Base in germany. That airbase ist the main headquarter of the United States Air Force in europe. The accident happend august 1988 at an airshow when a military airplane crashed into the crowds killing 70 people. In the early times the band called themself Rammstein-Flugschau, Ramstein-Airshow. After the band became very popular they made up a different and harmless meaning but this was the original origin of the name. It's their specialty to use ambiguous and highly polarizing lyrics. Even for a german native speaker it's sometimes difficult to understand the real meaning of the lyrics. For example the song "Du hast" has two meanings. Du hast = You have (asked me to marry you)" but it can also mean "You hate (me)". In their liveshows they often use massive pyrotechnics because the band leader Till Lindemann is also a trained pyrotechnician. This song here is about an ambivalence between standing patriotically behind his home country germany and all the injustice that happened here in the past.
