Mike & Ginger React to APOCALYPTICA ft NINA HAGEN - Seemann

[@TomTomson81]

Nina Hagen is a crazy lunatic in the most positive sense. The stage character cannot be distinguished from the private one. Ordinary citizens would be sent to an institution if they behaved like that. It is the German answer to Harley Quinn in real life. When it comes to vocals, hardly anyone can fool her. From the lowest notes to the highest, she has it all. Until the ears hurt. She is germans punk rock queen. And today over 65 years old.

[@weirdmary]

Harley Quinn is the weak answer to Nina Hagen

[@nilsbellack7087]

not just the german punk rock queen. She is the godmother of punk

[@xDasMottex]

from the music side she is a real queen of darkness

[@Ahris22]

Nina Hagen had one of the greatest voices of alt rock history, there are very few singers that can match her to this day. :) What a godsess.

[@erwinamesz7642]

Do Naturträne by Nina Hagen. A very young Nina going all out!!!

[@JackM.]

Apocalyptica is a Finnish band, they are close to Nightwish in popularity selling millions of albums worldwide. They started their career as only with 4 cellist playing covers. Now there are 3 cellos and a drummer with sometimes a guest singer. They have released many albums doing cover songs and originals with featured singers. Their latest album released in 2020 is a full instrumental album without vocals and it's a great one.

Catharina "Nina" Hagen ( born 11 March 1955) is a German singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her theatrical vocals and rose to prominence during the punk and new wave movements in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Born in the former East Berlin, German Democratic Republic, Hagen began her career as an actress when she appeared in several German films alongside her mother Eva-Maria Hagen. Around that same time, she joined the band Automobil and released the single "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen". After her stepfather Wolf Biermann's East German citizenship was withdrawn in 1976, Hagen followed him to Hamburg. Shortly afterwards, she was offered a record deal from CBS Records and formed the Nina Hagen Band. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1978 to critical acclaim and was a commercial success selling over 250,000 copies. The band released one more album, Unbehagen, before their break-up in 1979. She has also done some cover songs by Rammstein, Janis Joplin, David Bowie, Ian Drury. She has collaborated with Lene Lovich, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mark Almond, Oomph!, KMFDM, and others. I especially like "Fieber" (with Oomph!), "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick" (FFW), "Don't Kill the Animals" (with Lene Lovich for PETA), "Handgrenade", and "Russian Reggae". She has 2 children: a daughter named Cosma Shiva and a son named Otis.

Thanx for reacting to this international cooperation of the Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica (founded in 1993) and the German Godmother of Punk con Nina Hagen. Apocalyptica started as a Metalica cover band but then started doing their own songs as well. The had a couple of cooperations with singers. Another one with a German female singer is the extremely rough „Path 2“ with Sandra Nasic from the Altenative / Nu Metal band „Guano Apes“. Nina Hagens vocal range is so extreme. Sh äw can get so high, that you‘re waiting for glas to burst.

[@chino6816]

You hear the rammstein vibe in the song...Nina has been around for over 40 years she really is a legend and is known for her operatic voice...nice to see you react to Nina not many reactors do it...loved it iam a little ashamed i live in germany and have not heard this song 🙄🙄..stay real and healthy!!! Actually she Was pretty prudent with her dress she is usually more exuberant with her clothes..m

[@matthewrandom4523]

Nina - the godmother of German Punk music. Her voice range contains all 8 octaves, because she completed an education as an opera singer.

[@Kyle_heringer]

She used to be a very good singer , nowadays her voice changed very much, she used to be a soprano, but something went wrong and she lost that vocal range that used to make her a different voice 💔

[@Nemendril]

Great mashup between Germany and Finland. A great song.

[@onibformi3590]

Nina has a deeper voice than Til in this song. Godess of german Punk.

[@flitsertheo]

This while in the original Seeman Til sings part of the song with a much higher voice than usual.

[@lujalainen1]

this cover song everything hit bulls eye. melody and singer. perfection. thanx to reaction and have great day there.

[@erniedinda509]

This was perrrrrfect..... that for the reaction. A cool band Apocalyptica is, and Ms. Hagen is a legend.

[@DerEisturm]

This is one of the best Coverversions ever…… I love everything in this cover…. The voice, the Cello, the mood of the whole video. so great…. Thx for your reactions

[@NicholasCorvin]

*I highly recommend from ApocalypticA: "Hope Vol.1" [Instrumental], "Hope Vol.2" (feat. Matthias Sayer on vocals), "Grace" [Instrum. feat. Tomoyasu Hotei on E-Guitar], "I'm Not Jesus" (feat. Corey Taylor on vocals),* *"I Don't Care" (feat. Adam Gontier on vocals), "Not Strong Enough" (feat. Shinedown's Brent Smith on vocals), "Fire & Ice" (feat. Troy Donockley on Uilleann pipes, bagpipes), "Call My Name" [Instrum.], "Live Or Die" (feat. Sabaton's Joakim Brodén on vocals)....* *....I also highly recommend their collaboration on the 69 Eyes-song "Ghost" and also "Fields Of Verdun" (Sabaton-cover) and "The Unforgiven" (MetallicA-cover)....* 🎵🔥🤘😈🤘

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

Was waiting for someone to review to Nina Hagen for ages. Two words "New York" ( one title)

[@Crazmuss]

I only recently got into reaction videos, but with this particular song I wonder how can all people just cheer and laugh after listening such a strong piece about death from loneliness and sadness. Me personally could never stop tears after hearing it, but people just like "AHAHAHAHA I JUST SEE CARTOON THIS MORNING IT WAS SO FUNNY AHAHAHAHA"

[@MikeandGinger]

It’s in German, with no subtitles, and we don’t speak German. It baffles me how people expect us to know what the song is about, IN A LANGUAGE WE DON’T SPEAK, on first listen. It’s a shame you’re incapable of just enjoying good music when you hear it. We enjoyed this song, and expressed as much. - G

[@yubogolfer4040]

1:53 well ... let her know. I guess she will have fun doing so. I laughed so hard on that comment :D

[@DenizYalcin]

Their album "Worlds Collide" from 2007 was a masterpiece full of collaborations and exceptional musical scores. I recommend the cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" in German as "Helden" from that album and the wild "Stroke". Till Lindemann from Rammstein is on vocals in "Helden".

[@MikeandGinger]

Totally going to check this out. Thank you Deniz! - G

[@3mm4l0l]

best and most real reaction to her ive seen so far!

[@MrSilentBill]

Rammstein had another ballad called "Nebel", which means "fog" or "mist". But more important for this song, it is the word "Leben" = "life" spelled backwards. The song is a sad one. I haven't found a good live version, but you can find numerous videos regardless. - Here is a lyric video that has an English translation, if you want to give it a go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJbXnHiLqr-ggNE

[@Madman.60]

Ramstein has the record for the largest concert set. I believe it took 400 people to do it

[@larryc3860]

Seemann ( "Sailor" ) ......Nina is a unique performer/artist/vocalist who, even though I don't speak German, captures the eyes, ears and soul of this viewer........'"Der beste Seemann war doch ich........"

[@moetc.592]

like a lot of people in the comments said ... a:) its an apocalyptica song with b:) THE QUEEN and c;) Till Lindemann is only the prince ... but fighting for the crown :)

[@StevanOutdoor]

I always enjoy watching your reaction videos. And than I realize you probably don't understand German but still like it. I'm Dutch and do understand and speak German also and I grew up with Nina Hagen. She was around well before Rammstein. But they all are great. And you two are cute.

[@MikeandGinger]

Thank you 😊 - G

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

Well a legend. From East Germany, born 1955. She started 1974 with "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen (You forgot the color film)." kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJa7eYp_f69jl5o They had a closely guarded border to prevent their people from fleeing to the west. Nina Hagen was not only allowed to leave the country, it was even suggested to her.

[@flitsertheo]

Colour film could be difficult to obtain in East-Germany, hence the drama if you forgot the one you owned.

[@bunnydontcare3664]

Jeah check out Naturträne. In this video she's showing of her opera skills in 1978 or 1979, one of them. Her voice can go from G#1-B7. @(O,o)@ Good video, thanks for that. Love from Germany...

[@gabrielstratton1775]

Love nina her sound is so unique

[@Madefied]

I really enjoy your reaction. 😍😎 I saw her live in switzerland. Love her voice!!!! She is great! She also did a very cool cover of the Zarah Leander Song „Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt.“ Listen to it! Smile

[@tmsvanes]

Not really into this kind of music, but this was fascinating and really nice to listen to. Txs a lot.

[@qbasicmichael]

"Komm in mein Boot" == "come in my boat". Yes. This is because english and german are both west germanic languages.

[@markhoward2811]

The best Cello band. Nina Hagen rolls her R's like we do here in Wales. Another good Cello player is Marco Hietela ex Nightwish. He plays on the studio part of 'love' on Song of Myself. For another good Cello sound check out Thunderstruck by 2 Cellos.

[@Madman.60]

A couple other songs from the Seventh Symphony album, 'End of me, and Not strong enough' are also good

[@sebastiansustersic8]

Legend

[@Madman.60]

Their video ' Broken Pieces' with Lacey Strum is very good also

[@bazkeen]

Didn't understand a word but don't care. Loved it guys👍🏻👍🏻 😂😂Don't think I could pull the leather look off😂😂😂

[@MikeandGinger]

Me neither, Baz! 🤣 - G

[@bazkeen]

@@MikeandGinger 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@qbasicmichael]

Really? Many of the words of this song are almost the same in german and english. The title: "seemann" is "seaman". The first line: "Komm in mein Boot" is "come in my boat". English and german are both west germanic languages.

[@lutdesimpelaere2947]

If you do Nina Hagen you need to listen to Unbeschreiblich weiblich ,that was her biggest hit. Fabulous song

[@arnodobler1096]

Nina Hagen the "Godmother of Punk" is 65 years old now. Her range 6 octaves kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3TZY4KNqLuGaLc she is great and crazy 😍 thx

I think Tim Burton would be a fan of frau Hagen. :) She is great, and she's 67 years old! BTW, Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange looks like Nina 😏

[@tomiholmborg2004]

Apocalyptica performed live a couple of times earlier last year. Here is the last concert, kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6jYiWScppqba9U. You should check it out, there is a lot of their original material including songs from their latest album.

One thing you should know is that this song is not the property of Rammstein, it is the domain of German-speaking navigators and those regions.

[@retu3510]

This is the first reaction channel I'm actually subscribing to. Gingers "I want her to spank me" is just so true. Another woman getting lured in by Nina

*Well, I don't know what's your position about Rammstein.....I don't disrespect them, but there are just 4 tracks from them I can listen to more than once...."Feuer Frei!", "Sonne", "Du hast" and "Engel", that's it. ApocalypticA has MUCH MORE to offer than this Rammstein cover.....Recommendations for ApocalypticA are following in my next comment.....Greetings & stay safe!*

Seemann is maybe my favorite Rammstein song after Ohne Dich and Mutter and I will argue to my death that this is one of those rare times that the cover is as good or better than the original
