[@VaughanRoderick]

First off, holy shit, thanks for another awesome Metal reaction. Any chance you can react to High on Fire's Ethereal? If not Calliope Mori's Mera Mera? I mean I'd love to see you break down Sleep's Dopesmoker lyrics but I doubt any self respecting content creator has the balls to take on an hour + long song. Also the book burning toward the end of the clip is in reference to the Nazi book burnings.

[@user-cc5kl7qv8f]

Can you please react to the stupendium's song NO ONE'S HOME? The flow is amazing and he paints a great picture

[@hanpol2053]

Now you need to react to "du hast" the Paris version is good. alternatively the "mein teil " life show from Hurrikane both again with english subtitles (there are versions for that) alternativly the Zeit is another good music video with good lyrics. The dogs are by the way a breed that nearly went extinkt in ww2 9 survived by now they are still rare, but not anywere close to extinction with a few 1000's around.

Your need to react to Korn the song called DADDY it's got some very strong words behind it will shock you

[@lpmageman5613]

Hey Knox! Would love to see you react to Disturbed, their song Inside the Fire has a great video and story worth breaking down!

[@jundertaker0368]

As a german this is one of my favourite music videos, because it actually manages to capture the german struggle with Patriotism very well, considering for me, such as for most germans, patriotism and pride in your german nationality are things that we, outside of sport events, consider too closely linked or even equivalent to right wing populism or National Socialism. You will rarely ever see a german flag anywhere unless the world cup is on or you are in a very right area. But I think that this is a sign of us being aware of our history and it not being forgotten or understated. This is also one of the reasons why to many germans the american patrionism is strange (especially considering the fact that the US don't have the cleanest history either). While you pledge allegiance to the flag in schools on daily basis, the first and the second verse of our national anthem (which not many people know by heart anyway nowadays) are banned, because of it having been used during the Nazi regime states. (The problematic part being: ,,Deutschland Deutschland über alles"/"Germany Germany above anything else", which is also in the Rammstein song). I really enjoyed your analysis and knowledge of the german history and have mostly been a silent viewer but wanted to share opinion on this topic.

[@JoeyDecay]

As an American, I want to apologize for the unnecessary ways we treated yr women and even men of the country after totally destruction of it at the end of ww2. Whatever people want to believe about the history of the "victors" we did a lot of unnecessary evil there.

[@A7x_Forever]

@@JoeyDecay As a German, I can appreciate the honesty! Thank you for not sweeping these crimes under the rug and pretending like the end always justifies all means. But nevertheless: don't beat yourself up for what your country has done. Indeed, no country will ever be perfect and yet you can be as patriotic as you want without being hypocritic. It's just the way politics are, I guess and it's not your fault. I'm proud to be German and I'm not buying into this "I'm not German, I'm European" bullcrap. F*ck nazis and the far right, tho.

[@Cordite842805]

Germans have every right to be a proud people. I have much respect for the people and culture.

@@JoeyDecay whatever the US troops did. The Russians did worse. And not just to Germany. Ask Poland for instance.

[@Mr.AimToMisbehave]

As a white American, I can sympathize. As you said my country has done, and continues to do horrible things in the name of power and control. So I have no pride in the terrible things my government/people have done in the past. While many cultures teach them to have pride in their ethnicity, that is not something you can do either. African Americans can believe in black pride, Latinos can proclaim "viva la raza" (long live the race), to say white pride unleashes a nasty can of worms. Instead I try to take pride in the ideals my country represents if not it's reality. The Ideals of Truth, Justice, Freedom, and Equality for all....not just the majority, or the ultra wealthy, or the well connected.

Es tut mir leid wenn ich solche Kommentare lese.. Für die deutschen und alten deutschen. Denn seit dem Ende des zweiten Weltkrieges werden deutsche Kinder in Schulen manipuliert sich und ihre Geschichte zu hassen. Nur um "Den Nazi Gedanken" los zu werden. Das Wort Nazi, wie Faschismus ist ein Begriff der an Schwäche verloren hat weil durchgedrehte pseudo linke ihn nur noch als Totschlag Argument verwenden, obwohl die meisten überhaupt gar nichts über die eigentliche Ideologie wissen. Da es enorm viele deutsche gab die zwar nationalsozialisten waren.. Aber nicht mit dem Rassismus übereinstimmten.. Da Faschismus und nationalsozialismus einfach nur Ideologien waren welche sich für die Leute Aussprachen.. Aber wie im "Kommunismus" landete diese Ideologie immer falsch in den Köpfen durch Tyrannen welche es in ein dunkles Licht ziehen. Außerdem lernen die deutschen NIE neutral über ihre Geschichte sondern verteufeln nur. Wir verteufeln unsere moderne Geschichte nur aufgrund von "12 dunklen Jahren" Jede deutsche Epoche ist absolut anders.. Das Leute nun ernsthaft die schwarz - Weiß - Rote Flagge oder dass Kaiserreich als "Rechtsextrem" ansehen ist absolut lächerlich und diese Menschen haben keine Ahnung von Geschichte. Was wir auch unserem super System zu verantworten haben. Da alle Nazi Symbole verboten wurden konnten sich extreme nationalsozialisten nicht mehr ausdrücken und nahmen stattdessen die Symbole des Kaiserreich - was natürlich den linken schön in die Hände spielte da dieser inkompetente Haufen diese alten guten deutschen Symbole auch als Nazi Symbole abstempeln konnte. Somit haben deutsche monarchisten, wie ich, gar keine Grundlage mehr sich zu zeigen. Weil man gleich mit Nazis gleichgestellt wird. Dank dieses Verfahren wurden Menschen mit gutem altdeutschen stolz zu Nazis weil sie sich nicht ausdrücken konnten. Meiner Meinung nach schadet es dem deutschen stolz nur wenn wir uns voller Angst von der NS Zeit abwenden und nicht wirklich diese Zeit und die Hintergründe erforschten. Den für jede Aktion folgt eine Reaktion.. Und es steckt viel mehr hinter der Person Adolf und dieser Idee des Nationalsozialismus. Wenn wir harte Grenzen aufbauen und uns davon Abschotten können wir niemals wirklich diese Zeit nachvollziehen und akzeptieren. Es ist Teil unserer geschichte, basta. Wir sollten uns wirklich damit auseinandersetzen und dieser Zeit näher kommen. Denn nur so können wir vom extremen stolz zurück zum altdeutschen preußischen stolz. "Wer zu lange in eine Schlucht schaut, fällt selbst hinein" Genau dass ist das Problem mit der Abgrenzung von der NS Zeit. Anstatt den guten deutschen stolz zu verbannen und alles Nazi zu nennen und zu machen, sollten wir den alten stolz entgegen treten und uns abwenden von dem extrem und Terror der 12 dunklen Jahre und tausende von Jahren gute deutsche Geschichte genießen. Wenn wir alles Nazi nennen und stolz verbannen, ist es kein Wunder wenn diese Bewegung wieder Kraft bekommt. Da Menschen stolz sein wollen und sollten. Gerade wir.. Das Volk was diese moderne Welt erbaute. Also fordere ich euch auf! Weg vom dunklen Nazi Parasit, welcher aus dem Leid der deutschen entstand, hin zu alten kaiserlichen gesunden stolz! Ich liebe meine deutschen und bin ein purer nationalist. Nicht weil ich andere Völker und Mentalitäten hasse, sondern gerade weil ich andere Völker und Mentalitäten gut finde. Eine internationale Integration aller Mentalitäten ist absolut fatal! Jede Mentalität und jedes Volk hat seine Berechtigung und Stärken - was auch schon der Kaiser wilhelm II sagte. Doch auch wir haben ein Recht auf diesen verdienten Stolz. Momentan arbeiten wir uns den Arsch ab für Europa, dank des Euros und wundervollen EU.. Wir waren einst ein Land der Dichter und Denker. Der Wissenschaft, des Handwerks, Der Kraft und des Stolzes! Heute sind wir ein Land der Vollidioten und verblendeten. Möge Tradition, Geschichte und tiefe Kultur in unser Land zurückkehren.

[@alastordeer3355]

As a British person I kind of understand it Britain was one of the worst countries in history

[@Dreveryn]

The last piano is a callback to a much older song of theirs "Sonne (Sun)." When you know the lyrics to that, it adds another layer of emotion to the last bit: "Everyone is waiting for the light Be afraid, don't be afraid The sun is shining out of my eyes It will not set tonight And the world counts loudly to ten" My take on it in the context of this video: everyone is waiting for the nightmare to end, count to ten to wake ourselves up. Be brave, we'll make it through. Its not our time to go. As the chorus goes on to chant "Here comes the sun," we're waking up and leaving the nightmare behind.

[@kwantoon]

Sonne is just a phenomenal song and the outro adaptation is beautifully haunting, they couldn't have chose a better way to conclude something so powerful.

[@gin84fb]

Thank you for this! I was going crazy trying to remember which song the piano was from. It's such a great song

Hi Knox, you were pretty spot on in capturing the meaning of the song and how it captures the struggle that Germans can have with their country. This explains why we often find it strange that in America you would sing the national anthem in school and salute to the flag. Actually until the Football World Cup in 2006 which was in Germany we rarely saw flags even in the arenas for football games. Even now sometimes there is still discussion if it is okay to show national pride again or not. In terms of the video I can give everyone who doesn't know yet a bit of additional infos: - The black woman is supposed to represent a mythological impersonation of "Germania" usually she is depicted as a white woman of course but here they use her skin colour not only to provoke but also in combination with her clothes and the lighting you have the colours of the current German flag (black, red and gold) - the scene where they eat her symbolizes the times where the Church was living a very rich life while the normal people (you see them under the table) are starving, poor and fighting for survival - the exploding zeppelin is of course the Hindenburg. Germany was very proud of its airship technology but that accident basically buried that kind of technology as a means for mass transport - the raining down money is a reference to the inflation during the financial crisis between the 2 World Wars (Black Friday etc.) it is said that you could sit down in a Café and by the time you finished your coffee and cake the prices had already doubled or tripled. People were getting their monthly pay in pushcarts because each banknote was worth so little - in the "camp" scene you see the V1 the first modern rocket and each of the prisoners on the nooses wear a different sign (jew, homosexual, communist etc). All of these groups were used for labour and then liquidated - the people with the shotgun and other weapons are a reference to the R.A.F a communist terror group that abducted a German conservatist politician, causing bomb terror acts and stuff like that - the dogs could be seen as a sign that the leaders want to have citizens who listen and don't bark just following commands I guess. Of course there is more but these are the things probably the hardest to recognize for someone who is not knowledgable about German history. In German we have a distinction between you (opposite of I) and you (opposite of we). It is "Du" and "Ihr" but in English that can be confusing I guess :D

[@bishop5isalive]

Great insight, really enjoyed reading that. Never clicked about Germania representing the current colours of the flag.

[@BeOtterMyFriend]

The dogs are Leonbergers. The breed almost went extinct. See the symbolism there? Yeah, the English ditched the thou (du) and instead are using the plural form you (ihr) for everyone like their nobility or something. 😅

[@Bobbias]

A simple way to talk about the plural you is call it "you all". As a Canadian, I don't generally ever say that phrase in speech, but it's easily understood as the plural you.

[@CertifiedSunset]

I think the dogs represent the future of Germany, since animals (especially dogs) are generally seen as pure and innocent.

[@6666Imperator]

@@CertifiedSunset good dogs also listen to commands and usually don't question them, though

[@tehrickles1447]

Rammstein does not fuck around when it comes to stage presence. Their videos are incredibly well done and their live sets are insanely intricate with the pyrotechnics, absolutely worth a look at their live shows.

[@sasdrusbaslisto9538]

I began studying German and really the language, the culture, the history... amazing, complex, haunting. Rammstein's masterpiece is expposive, I am in love with the piano outro. Knox's analysis is great. And for all those from Germany who show so much appreciation for their homeland while acknowledging the shady aspects of it, as many countries have them, all I have is respect and admiration. You are more than one period of history, it's up to you to define your identity in the present

[@Enhaneunzig]

My deepest respect for your reaction. I have seen several reaction videos to this Rammstein song, but you are probably the first to get to the heart of the meaning of the song. You need a good understanding and knowledge of German history to do that and that is hard to find in the US. Thanks mate! Best regards from Germany, take care

[@strangeling325]

You always nail the meanings. There was an article about the video written by a history professor that you should take a look at. Rammstein is one of my favorites, and them live... next level. Saw them in San Antonio last month, I couldn't hear till the next day, and even in the cheap seats I could feel the heat from their pyro. Til (their lead singer) is a poet, and is their main lyricist. His father was a writer as well. All of the members grew up in East Germany, and it has really colored their content over the years. They're another VERY interesting rabbit hole to go down.

Plus Catholic Schoolgirls Rock by the original line up of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Angry Mob by the Kaiser Chiefs and If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will be Next by the Manic Street Preachers in 1998 which was inspired by the film Gattaca.

As a long time fan of the band, I think you'll love Till's lyrical ability. He's well known for writing songs that have multiple meanings and using a lot of German wordplay that doesn't translate well into English, in addition to tons of innuendo. And I think it's fantastic that after releasing Angst, which was heavy with social and political commentary, the band followed it up with Dicke Titten, which is about loving big boobs.

[@mikekazlowski2449]

I saw them live on September 9th and they played this song. One of the BEST metal shows I've seen! Every song they played was absolutely amazing and there was lots of fire lol. Definitely check out their live performance videos if you get the chance

[@jessicaarcher3633]

I love that the band members are always featured in their videos, and that aspect is especially powerful in this one. In a way, this song is a confession, apology, and a plea for understanding, as you mentioned, the duality of being German. Even just being of German descent or having an interest in a very important part of world culture, as I am, is frowned upon by some. I have loved Rammstein since I was 14 years old.

[@JPatterson61586]

Such a great song! "We're all living in America" such a chilling statement when you listen to what the rest of the song is talking about.

[@gerfunny1373]

I haven't been on your channel for quite some time but seeing you reacting to german music lights up my heart. Hello from Germany!

[@RustBunny]

The visuals, lyrics and music are next level. I have yet to see Rammstein in person, but seeing videos here on KZbin, this song is a clear highlight of their live performance. Watching you tackle this song, I finally noticed that Ruby is wearing Till Lindemann's metal fire breathing wings at the end of the song. For all the things that can be said about Rammstein and their music, I think the fact that they have not changed band members once so far and seem unlikely to ever do so. For a band that's approaching thirty in a couple years, that's quite a feat.

[@humanoid251]

Let’s go!!! Rammstein goes so hard! In fact if we wanna get into semantics the genre they fall under and that they pioneered is called Neue Deutsche Härte (New German Hardness). Their riffs might be simplistic but their lyricism and stage presence is god tier “What I love is the callbacks” you don’t even know Knox! Their most famous song is Du Hast and if you ask any Rammstein fan they’ll probably tell you that was the first song they ever heard. So hearing the repetitive Du Hast isn’t just background vocals calling back to the main vocals but also a callback to their most popular song. Which is fitting because Rammstein is 100% a part of German history and culture (hell even their name is a reference to a historical German tragedy) “Return of the Jedi” ok you just made something click. In Star Wars it’s often said that the Empire and Darth Vader are a metaphor for Hitler and the Nazis so it’s possible the space imagery could be in reference to that Also fun fact: that piano at the end constantly has a motif that’s heard in their song Sonne, who’s chorus repeats the phrase “here comes the sun” so I’m lead to believe that that motif is being used a subtle way of saying the sun will rise on us again and our future will be bright

[@ExarchGaming]

Yup, NDH is amazing, my favorites from the genre are Oomph! Eisbrecher and Rammstein for sure. The wild thing is that Du Hast, they completley changed the lyrics when they released the english version... as Du Hast doesn't mean you hate, it means you have. Du Hasst would be hate. The entire song is a play on wedding vows. the english video is a completely new song and separate.

[@BunjiKugashira42]

The song "Sonne" is actually about boxing and was written for Wladimir Klitschko. It was supposed to become his hymn, but he thought it was too hard and chose a different song. Still, you got the counting to ten, seeing stars, falling to the ground, etc. The sun refers to the man himself, being the "brightest", most well-known star in boxing. At least in Germany.

[@1993MovieMan]

Actually, that`s a common misconception because George Lucas is Jewish, as are the current directors of "Star Wars" in many cases,however whilst "Triumph of the Will" was an aesthetic influence on the Empire, it was more meant to be a self-criticism of the Watergate and Vietnam-era US and the Rebels and Ewoks were the Viet Cong(The small,ragtag poor farmers fighting and just barely defeating this high-tech,imperial,wealthy superpower.)

[@morphinmartian6266]

The end credits piano is a rendition of their song Sonne (another to check out) Couple of metal songs to react to: Iron Maiden - ryme of the ancient mariner (flight 666), One Minute Silence - holy man, Alien Weaponry - kai tangata, System Of A Down - hollywood, Slayer - seasons in the abyss, Megadeth - holy wars. Following on Rammstein, ifyou want to go down the Neue Deutsche Hart (New German Hardness) rabbit hole - Knorkator - kinderlied, Maerzfeld - fremdkorper, Eisbrecher - schock

[@6666Imperator]

Eisbrecher - Was ist hier los or Knorkator - Ihr habt gewonnen would be great additions to this list ;) Also PAIN - Shut your mouth is very nice too

[@ivansyomkin2156]

Just want to say: I love how much general knowledge you have. Really elevates the reaction when you know what's being said and implied.

[@FrankGehann]

WoW very very good decomposition of the lyrics. I think this makes your reactions so compelling. You always do great work explaining and outlining the hidden meanings ;)

[@nybsfp7486]

I’ve absolutely loved this song since it came out. One of the best Rammstein bangers. But I never once had a single clue what the hell it was about except obviously Germany. Nice job!

[@davidbell864]

Extremely intelligent and profound analysis of this amazing video. Well done young man

[@mackwilliams8853]

I love you stuff, sir. Not only are your reactions entertaining but you know your history and I love that

[@virus640]

The piano at the end is actually the melody from another of their songs called Sonne. Love your reactions, man. I always look forward to them.

[@MelanyBlackDH]

I'm so happy you did this song. I love Rammstein and knowing how ridiculously well you break down lyrics and how you like to hear all the wordplays, I was going to suggest you react to them eventually. They have an insane amount of good songs and their lyrics are basically poetry. And that's coming from an Italian who only gets half the lyrics, though I did study German.

[@hrma6313]

Guarda vlog dave, e un tedesco che spiega benissimo, pero in inglese

[@prettybxy77]

My man, you gave the BEST breakdown of this video I've ever seen in any reaction, EVER, on KZbin. I haven't been a fan of the band for too long, but I thought I knew my German history til I saw this video. Hats off to really knowing what you're seeing and dissecting all the metaphors and such.

[@reklamedamereloaded]

Damn - I'm just impressed. You are the first person "reacting" I saw who understood the historic implications! Kudos!

[@MrRockbee]

Man, you're the best at breaking down. You caught the meaning so quickly. Rammstein has many great songs, sure to get you hyped and having dope meanings.. also their live shows are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I believe part of the melody that is played by piano at the end, is from their other song "Sonne" .. also musically amazing

[@jutrzenka7503]

I've just found you. And it's so rare that anybody makes sooooo deep, inteligent comments, picking up nuances so quick and with so broad knowlegde about many topics. I've seen few of your reactions (mainly Metal Mondays ;) ) but it took me more then one listening to have same/similar conclusions. I really love your reactions and I am waiting for more.

[@angrydemonproductions4361]

I know that this is a 3 month old vid but I just came across it. Anyway, DUUUUDDEE that has got to be one of, if not the best reaction & disection of the song. Absolutely on point! Very well done!

[@jonashartung3019]

Your knowledge keeps impressing me. Great job yet again man.

[@SLevinCinema]

I used to work concerts at a casino. I worked dozens. Recently saw Rammstein live and it was on another level. Easily sits in the top 3 best concert experiences of my life.

[@philhemstock]

Congrats on fathoming the meaning, you pretty much nailed it on almost every count. Powerful song powerful video

[@darlastrange]

I love your reactions, because you're so well read and knowledgable in so many different things one doesn't really expect you to have a detailed insight on (sorry, not because you're American but also because the styles and topics you cover are so diverse). I'm really really loving this one, because I've seen it before, I've seen reactions before but this is the first time I really find myself engaging with it as a source and taking it apart alongside you and getting a deeper understanding of just how unequivocally brilliant every.single.thing about this is. The story, the photography, the acting, the music, just geared towards showcasing the absolute banger of an emotional impact our very fraught yet loving relationship we as Germans have with our nation and patriotism. I'm just going to solve one thing for you, which, if you're anything like me and are driven bonkers by unanswered questions, will still bug you (though if someone else in the comments already did, I'm sorry) - the pronoun game is always Ich(I), Du(you), Wir(we), Ihr(you plural) and they're always, protagonist, subject, tribal group, the other, which I think coincides in most of the shots. Anyway, thank you for doing this I enjoyed this reaction immensely. If you haven't done it yet, I really really recommend you do The Hu Band - Wolf Totem for another Metal monday, you'll get another cinematic gem of a music video and a very special kind of metal.

[@casinodertoten721]

The piano in the end is a variation of Rammstein‘s song „Sonne“, which you should totally react to by the way 😅🔥

[@Sushi4900]

If you are more interested in Rammstein, you should react to the song America (with the music video) or as others have already said their live performances.

[@DarksidePrime1]

You down a Rabbit Hole now. One of my favorite bands and quite a few music videos sharing exactly what the lyrics represent and others being opposite from what the songs actually mean. Every Video being a movie to feel and experience. Rammstein forever. Best show Live Ever.

[@AT-vd9jm]

First detailed reaction which is not only about a headbang and author's channel subscription, love it.

[@eugennemirowski4363]

Damn, I love how you try do understand every bit of a bar to get the message of a song. Keep it up, my man.

[@RanRayu]

rammstein is a really good hole to fall into, they're just amazing. their live shows are great and a must watch, but please also react to both versions of mein herz brennt. the piano version is just nothing short of hauntingly beautiful. if need be i will even pay you to listen to these 2 songs xD

[@fififornow8031]

You’re telling me youve never heard Rammstein before? Yeah right

[@yakutza100]

We need more Rammstein from you! You understand whats happening and watching is so fun!

[@alflp2159]

I really have to say Knox, I didn't expect such a great reaction from you! You really tried to empathize with the message of the video and the song and also tried to understand and convey the message behind it. You really put a lot of love into your reactions! Greetings from Germany

[@HGSolberg]

I think this must be the best interpretation of the meaning of this song and video I've ever seen anyone do right off the cuff. You got pretty much everything right. So, kudos to you for that. Also, pretty much every Rammstein music video is an artistic masterpiece and worth viewing. And, of course, the songs and the lyrics are worth listening to. Recommendations: Mutter, Mein Hertz Brent (both the full instrumental version, and the acoustic version with just a piano), Du Hast, America, Ich Will, Ohne Dich, Feur Frei. Actually, there are to many to mention. Rammstein live performances are also a spectacle. Try videos from Paris in 2021, for example.

[@simondalefjeldstad888]

Excellent breakdown as always! I think you’d also like “Zeit” from their newest album. It’s really profound, and one of my favorites

[@flaminaphilomena1800]

One more vote for "Zeit". When I watched it the first time I was confused. The second time I cried, the third time I decided to change my life. And since then I watched it several times and always feel shutters down my back.

[@robertmartyr9432]

Great reaction keep it up and look forward to next one

[@wennie1974]

I just found this one. You are so well-read, you know the history. I noticed it before but now, really! My compliments!

[@diegomtz2352]

These metal mondays are awesome 👏🏼

[@madolph0999]

Knox.. literally speechless. Rammstein, freaking Rammstein! You're knowledge taught me while watching this. You're Monday reactions are my most anticipated videos of the week. You kill it. Everytime. A very talented rapper showing this much enthusiasm to a foreign metal band makes my heart happy. You're the man. Hope you continue to have success. LOVE the Reptar shirt!! Can't go wrong with Rugrats 😁 Reading other comments, Rammstein LIVE is legit, but, speaking of live, Pantera - "Domination" .... We can only hope..... Breakdown is the best you'll ever witness kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3WkdKKofsarhNk

[@mrotzenplotz3217]

Damn Knox.. nobody can better desribe this kind of videos. Your understanding is pure art. Greetings from north Germany

[@mattgear8625]

I love that an american, know this much European history. Knox is spot on. I love this

[@lordvorwald]

So awesome that you reacted to Rammstein, they are one of my favorite groups and have a bunch of amazing songs. I would highly suggest Sonne, Du Hast, Mutter, Ohne Dich, Engel, Links and some other groups that I think would make for some great additions to your metal monday would be powerwolf, and sabaton.

[@droska]

Rammstein, Slipknot, System of a Down, my favorite metal bands of all time in the same channel 🤟🏻

[@sarahsloot2290]

Love your positivity and excitement and your attention to detail!

[@kizunadragon9]

This is why I love watching those from the hip hop community checking out metal. Because you analyze lyrics, thats a big thing in hip hop, what you're saying. So to take that lens and hold it up to metal bands that are profound in their lyrics is wonderful to watch.

[@joelindo9273]

This was fantastic. Thank you. If you really want to be impressed, watch a live performance. The most underrated, underappreciated band in the west.

[@Soladrin]

Don't know where your from but rammstein is not underrated or underappreciated. Literally the biggest german band on the planet. 👌

[@dh1ao]

as a german I'm impressed how far and deep you understood this song. Thank you for the video

[@mr.unlucky04]

Always amazing me with the rock reactions man! From a metal head, you are always on point and even point out things I missed, or didn’t even think about!! FUCK YESS! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@MSIContent]

Seriously,, this was the best reaction to this ever! I have to commend your knowledge of the history and the understanding of the imagery. On point!!

[@whome482]

You're gonna go nuts when you see what they do live. I promise you that you have no idea what you're in for and you'll have never seen anything like it before

[@MrsMedicate]

There are so many good Tool songs for you to dive into. The vocalist is brilliant with his writing

[@technicalotaku5970]

i know this is an "old" video but i still wanted to respond. i like watching the "first reaction to " kinda videos and most are just going on about the music or the video. i got to your channel because of the electric callboy vidoes and you were very entertaining on those but then i ended up here and you really did understand the multi level understanding on this Rammstein song. it's genuinely impressive you took so much out of this song/video. This is coming from a Belgian person who is obviously too young to have lived through what Germany put Belgium through but my grandmother is 93 years old and i have listened to her stories more than once. it's both an important and a sad time to remember.

[@Brabant076]

7:35 You 100% got my subscription there man, i love how you analyze the lyrics and actually understand the point of it.

[@ODragonwing]

This song's message is given extra weight once you know that all the members of Rammstein grew up in East Germany before the Berlin wall fell.

[@peterdergrosse3355]

I am impressed by your history knowledge. This video is indeed one of the most spectacular videos ever shot. The creativity of Rammstein knows no boundaries.

[@ChadAzeltine]

Du Hast live in Paris is one of the most amazing concerts ever. The video will change the way you look at live performances. It is next level!

[@TheHellRanger]

your ability to analyze lyrics and how it translates into the music videos is honestly so impressive.

[@Thessik73]

I think you are the first reactor I've seen who has actually GOT this video. This is 300 level Rammstein and not normally a good one to start with. You will find a lot of double meanings and wordplay in most of their lyrics, and I recommend you check more out.

[@linusarntsson495]

A recommendation for a future MM is "wrong Side of heaven" by five finger death punch. Most epic song I've heard. Also, great videos man!!

[@xXFr0stW0lfXx]

wow you truly impressed me with this one Knox, you caught alot more of the symbolism than i expected. Rammstein have some of the best music videos, and also some of the best live shows. worth checking out more from them

[@moersertrupp]

one of my guilty pleasures is watching people react to Rammstein, that never heard or seen them before. And you are the first one to do a good anaylsis of this video. Here take my like, you earned it

[@ibo123]

damn you got all of it really well, didn't expect to get such a nice analysis of this song by a non-german!

[@lyndonaustin3297]

Probably one of the best reactions to this amazing video

[@hns_203]

I love the bridge that Rammstein is between mainstream music and rock music. "Sonne" by Rammstein was my entry into rock/metal music coming from listening to 90s rap and I feel Rammstein has music that everybody can appreciate, no matter what genre they listen to regularly. I'd love to see you react to more Rammstein, "Sonne" as mentioned is one, "Du hast" is probably their most popular song and most iconic song. Their live shows are absolutely phenomenal, so I think you'd appreciate them too. Loved the insanely good breakdown as always.

[@Eliminator1988]

One of the best reactions ever seen. Greetings from Germany

[@stevebee454]

You are really smart, taking the right informations out of it. Greetings from Germany

[@passieverhoef3166]

great reaction

[@Godstud]

Probably the best video I have ever seen. It's like watching a small movie. Great reaction.

[@Ninja785]

Just finally actually saw this reaction... As a partial German native...I am so glad that you actually partially understand the point of this song.....and so early at that. So many people didn't figure it out until late, if at all. My hat's off to you, bro.🤘🏼
