Vocal Coach REACTS - RAMMSTEIN 'Du Hast'

[@TheMadHexa]

As a German native speaker I can shed some light on the lyrics for the interested reader. Already in the Video is mentioned that "Du hast" means "You have" and "Du hasst" means "you hate". So depending on how long the lyrics are before they are repeated it seems like he sings. "You, you hate, you hate me" Then it turns the song around when it is followed by "mich gefragt" Because then you know it's "You have asked me" And surprises again, when he follows up with "und ich hab nichts gesagt" what means "And I said nothing". And the "Willst du bis in alle Tage..." Part is the text of the german wedding vows. Which ends by repeated "No! No! No!" 😊

[@BeOtterMyFriend]

Almost yes. But it's not just no, you can hear an angelic voice in the background going "yes" (timed with the pyrotechnics from above) and then they sing "no" (pyrotechnics from below). So he doesn't know. That's why he says nothing.

[@BeerElf66]

I'd taken it to mean that he's been backed into a corner to make promises he can't keep. I wondered about society's expectations forcing him, to live a "normal" life.

[@carrenoir7165]

Thank you !

[@TheCreativetiger]

and in the lyrics it says 'Du hast' in the context of you have. If it would mean you hate, it would be 'Du hasst'. the extra s in the words makes a big difference :)

[@TheMadHexa]

@@TheCreativetiger Yes, but a homophone is generally hard to pinpoint without the write lyrics, what they are clearly playing with in the song

[@jsalvatori]

he shoots what's called a "comet" (small pyro). once it's out over the audience, their pyro person triggers "line rockets" which are exactly what they sound like, similar to bottle rockets but they are attached to thin wires so they fly in a specific straight direction. When they reach the stage, they pyrotechnician then triggers what are called "air bursts" which are basic firework pellets wrapped up in cling wrap, along with the flame cannons to give the explosion.

[@kelaines5082]

Dude thx. I read ur explanation and now everytime I watch it I can see the lines on tge reverse. First time I watched it though initially it does look like Till comes out w a flame thrower. Lol

[@IsaacRushing-qs5vq]

Definitely appreciated. Simple, yet effective.

[@DornishVintage]

Don't forget this song is more than 25 years old.This isn't even close to what a Rammstein show is today. They stay the same but somehow manage to reinvent themselves to always be fresh.

They spent multiple years to find the right Coffee/Dirt Mix to put on their skins for performance

[@bomber9912]

Fun Fact: Flake - the keyboard player - was talking in a podcast a lot about his daily life in the band. The dirty, black, rusty paint on their skin used to be coffee powder. And because skin absorbs it, he started having extremely hard times falling asleep atall sometimes. But he wanted to keep applying the coffee powder on his skin, because they would use literally the same costumes throughout month long tours and their clothing was never washed. He said the smell of the costumes were disgusting, so he gladly applied the coffee powder. He said at some point he started using coffein free coffee powder :D

[@ashvirhiralal]

You don't need to be in the front row to feel the flames, it's unreal how far that heat can travel, I was about 20-30m from the front and I could feel it on my face. Du Hast is one of their most popular songs, I think everyone knows how to sing it, when this song comes on it's no surprise they let the crowd sing so much of it. Even in my country where people are more metal fans as a whole than fans of individual bands, the crowd was quiet for a lot of songs, but not this one!

[@tomaac]

oh yes, those fire pillars metal bands usually use are insane heat. I still remember being in one of Metallica shows and they used those fire towers and i could feel the heat from them in the middle of the stadium. I cant even imagine what it feels like on the stage right next to them.

[@j.v.r.1981-]

[@billtroxell2148]

The German metal band Rammstein brought 1,350 tons of stage equipment into the stadium to build a stage fit with fire cannons and its own elevator. The equipment was flown in on seven 747 planes from Europe before being transported to each city on 90 semis.

[@andersgranstrom7128]

It is so cool when you realize the depth of the lyrics of their songs, that they are actually not just musicians but also artists, creating art, damn it! It is amazing to see that they become better and better through the years! They are all in - all of the time! Amazing! 😍

[@cazgoat8945]

Your joy with rammstein is contagious. One of the best ever stage shows I've ever seen, whatever the venue, whatever the tour... Best for me was nimes, in an amphitheatre. Cornish gal (uk), in France, for a German band. Amazing times.

Germans marching in Paris and celebrated by the crowd, I just love their show there because of the history between these nations. Also, being at a Rammstein show is an experience for itself. I was at their concert in MetLife Stadium, NJ, 2022 and even if you're not in the "Feuerzone" (the first few rows) you can still feel the bass in your chest and the heat on full blast. Everyone does love Rammstein, no matter the age, so everyone sings, claps together and the energy is amazing. Best live band!

[@jaegermeister1968]

I saw Rammstein for the first time in the early 90s in a tent in Vienna in front of maybe 1000 visitors and I was already enthusiastic back then. I was maybe 5 meters away from the band and there wasn't a spectacular show back then, but Till breathed fire and the music was awesome anyway. I never would have thought that a German-speaking band would one day become absolute world stars. In 2022 I saw Rammstein again, this time with 35,000 fans and currently there is nothing that can compete with the show. Lindemann is also a trained pyrotechnician and that also explains the stage show.

[@KK-ue4wc]

Seen them twice,not any ole show,pure theatre, excellent!! Nottingham Arena,INSIDE,still had pyrotechnics,could feel the heat at the back!

[@Tjocksmocken]

I have seen them live twice and it is always epic! The lightning is post edited. "Only" the pyro was real. The sweat Till and all the others seem to have is flame retardent fluid to save their skin from 25th degree of burn damage

They're just the best!!!! 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🧨🤘 I saw a lot of different performers (rock, pop, classic,... you name it, I saw it!) and Rammstein is just the best! Their show is a new level, something no one does! And if it's an open arena - be ready for a heat wave, it's hot wherever you're standing 🥵😂💥🔥❤‍🔥 And the crowd is the safest from them all! Everyone is so friendly and just celebrating to be a part of Rammstein family!

I've grown up with their music, and have been to several shows throughout the years, seeing how much they've grown and perfected their craft. And yes, Till's ability to overcome his stage fright and come out onto the stage every single time makes all of us love and respect him so much more!

"How did they do that?". The weapon in his hand is a pyro launcher (like rocket launcher). The rest is called rocket on a string. Pyro effects following a previous connected wire.

Feuer Frei is another good one. BTW, the title translates as "fire at will" in English. During the American Revolution plenty of Continental Army soldiers would have understood German commands since Baron von Steuben trained many units of the Continentals.

The effect for the rocket launcher & firing back is real and live. There are wires placed above the crowd in the 'Fire pit' that extended to the back of the arena (enclosed) The return fire is on separate wires back to the stage. Which sets of cans back on the stage. The lightning I believe is post production. As this is done by a famous movie director in Germany Yes it's Hot, some attendees have had there eyebrows singed off from being in the 'Fire Zone' tickets do warn you in advance. This is real + added theatrics to make it an epic movie. This needs to be seen in a movie theater 😮

I've been listening to Rammstein since their beginnings. For the first time I was at a Clawfingers concert that made Rammstein a lead band and I did not believe what I heard and saw. After a few years, history turned around and the Clawfingers formed the lead band Rammstein. I have been and will also be at all their concerts here in the Czech Republic. In my opinion, this band has the best stage show in the world. Pyro effects are invented by the band's singer, who is also very interested in their production. Till has a very special and unique voice without vibration at the end. The lyrics and themes of the songs are very thoughtful, deep and make you think. The band founded a new music genre NDH (Neue Deutsche Härte). If you are a fan of them and you are at their concert, you are incredibly excited, happy, tanned by fire, completely wet and deaf for other days. You get the best music experience in the world. 🙂 I also recommend the song "Ich tu dir weh" where you can hear Till's voice much more.Thanks for the reaction, keep going! 🤟

[@uncommonman]

It's hard to be sure but the "return fire" seem to be sliding on wires, a much used way to "shoot" at people or things in movies. A metal wire is used as a guide so the projectile [firework] has only one way it can travel.
