When I first got into these guys years ago, one of the best parts was watching live shows. And one of the best parts of that was quickly realizing that just about anything you see on the stage can, and probably will, be lit on fire. The only exceptions to this are the things that project fire or explode. And that's awesome.

the deliberate movements and monotone sing-talking is purposeful to show the weight of Till's wings. The wings are metaphorical in that Till is a fallen angel. He laboriously comes up from the depths of hell to make his tortured confession, then slowly descends back to the pit under the weight of his own sins. IMHO.

Good interpretation. But doesn't he suffer because he's been rewarded for good behavior? He takes no action, he is just signing. He accepts his fate, spits fire but doesn't do anything to change it.

You forgot the Keyboard - Sequences.

In many of their live videos, you can see what appear to be streaks of blood or grease on various band members' arms, faces, or other exposed body parts. It turns out this is a substance that helps prevent burns. After an accident with pyrotechnics early in their career, several of the band members, including Til, became trained and are certified pyrotechnicians. In an interview contained in one of the documentaries about Rammstein, Til says that they wound up going for showy, impressive performances because such a high percentage of their fanbase can't understand the lyrics, so they wanted another way to keep the audience engaged. Whatever else one can say about them, they are definitely hard-working!

I liked them way before I even watched a live performance. Their music is so raw and beautiful

Not only are their live shows incredible, but they've made some of the best music videos out there.

I was at that concert and I was sweating all the way up in the nosebleed section. The energy at that concert was almost giving me a high and everything you do is almost just instinctual because you can’t even form a thought because of how positive all the energy is around you. It is more than a concert it feels like a community experience

They really are performance art. Not just music. Great music, thoughtful lyrics, theatrical stage show and awesome videos.

Till Lindemann is a qualified pyrotechnician, that's how Rammstein can get away with all of their pyrotechnics! I also read somewhere that those wings weigh around 100 pounds. Just imagine singing and performing on stage with 100 pounds of weight strapped on you. Till Lindemann, the lead singer is just a total beast. Also, I had the pleasure of seeing them live back in September of 2022, here in NJ at MetLife stadium and all of their songs are phenomenal live!

@@stefanalt2110 Well, I don't agree with the 1st sentence in @astranoutinthesubmarine's OP at all (Rammstein being a definition of Germany) but most of the second sentence (dire, etc.) is kinda true. It's a generalization of course but Germans and even German itself is more direct IMO. And those attributes fit both Rammstein & Germany. But that doesn't make Germany defined by Rammstein. More like the other way around - some cliches/truths about German/y/s are strongly (re)presented by Rammstein.

Till had to give up those very heavy wings as they tore up his back. He does love to suffer for his craft though. Flake (Fluck-ah) is indeed on a treadmill and he really gets his steps in during a whole concert. Doesn't matter whether you do live or music video for them, you'll get well thought out art each time, they don't phone anything in and are one of the best live acts you could ever see for performances like this, even if you weren't into the actual music.

This song was the final encore in their show at Madison Square Garden in 2010. I read somewhere that the wings weighed about 50 kg (more than 110 pounds) and left huge scars on his back, so the wings in later shows were lowered from the top and he strapped himself to it and was raised while singing (including some pyrotechnics, of course).

The female voice you hear is Christiane "Bobo" Hebold. She is amazing. She is in Rammsteins old music video and she is singing in a cage. ;)

There are a couple of pre recorded parts, the whistling, and the female vocal part that comes in. So many bands use some backing tracks now days, synced to the light show, to make for a fantastic concert. There was some controversy last year with KISS in Australia performing at a sports event, where it was so obviously mimed and heavily padded with backing tracks, and sounding like a studio version almost, yet they claim to be "Live", that is unfortunate, as they probably would not live up to fans expectations without doing that.

@chadbennett7873

Ай бұрын

I would agree the whistling would need to be pre-recorded considering the manner in which they depict it. Try whistling, then move something close to your mouth, like a hand. It's far more difficult to whistle, as the wind needs space, and the microphone would impede that sound. Yeah, pre-recorded backing has come a long way since Milli Vanilli. Hahaha. This is seriously one of the most impressive live performances ever.

Its crazy to think that an entire generation of english speaking people my age were singing along to words that they did not understand, yet hitting every word correctly..

After hearing this song (somewhere), I immediately ordered the album from Amazon. It wasn't even available in North America yet, and I had to wait a few weeks. I like to think I was one of the first Canadian fans. Regardless, that whistle was the hook, but the riffage combined with the electronics was priceless. And when the CD arrived, I was amazed by the whole album. They've maintained that level of quality through the years. The vocals are so compelling that I've never cared that I can't understand the lyrics. I can feel the meaning.

Top 5 best bands I've ever seen live (and I've seen pink floyd live which says alot). There is a part where the keyboardist got into an inflatable raft and went out into the crowd and the crowd supported him through the entire arena and then back to the stage. You could feel the heat from the pyrotechnics from where we were sitting and I wouldn't say we were sitting close. Engel is their finale. The entire show was wild! I'd recommend anyone go see them live if you have the opportunity.

Swedish watching here, I appreciate your channel. Rammstein were more daring in the past, before there were so many restrictions and safety regulations. I saw them at a Swedish festival in '97 called Hultsfred, where he was all on fire. There are short (15 minute) clips of it on youtube but unfortunately not the whole concert. It was a wonderful moment in my youth.

I love that you recognise that although not a true 'singer', Till's voice is something outside what you might regard as normal. He is something on his own, a poet and a master of delivery, just something wonderful.

I've been to their concert last year and I still get chills every single time I hear one of the songs they performed that day

Hitting my 10th Rammstein concert in june, absolutely never gets boring and cant wait!

It was amazing to see that live for the first time. You could feel the heat from the fire! I love how Till and the band put on a show and Tills face mirrors the sad lyrics perfectly.

Best in class live shows, both vision- and sound wise👌🤘👍

The glitter suit is a prop for the show , you will see it here "Rammstein - Ich Tu Dir Weh" same concert preferably

Engel was the closing song played at this concert and is outstanding. Totally recommend Ich Tu Der Weh from the same concert. Till showcases his vocal range in that one and it is VERY entertaining. Also, from the same concert, Rammlied is excellent and recommended - their opening number in the concert.

The look on your face of - HOLY CRAP - says it all. At 72 I'm embarrassed to admit I just recently found Rammstein and what an incredible band they are. I watched the documentary on them. How can you not respect these guys? Coming from East Germany and being released from the oppression from the Soviet Block and be together all these years. Then there's the incredible music.

The best band ever!! They bring an inexplicable energy to their songs! whoever knows it falls in love!

This group knows how to tell a story with the musical instruments, the lyrics, the acting, and the symbolism. Notice how this tormented angel slowly closes his wings, turns with his head down and slowly descends downward. Angels are meant to rise. This is the complete opposite. This is why you experience so much emotion.

“Wir haben Angst und sind allein. Gott weiss Ich will kein Engel sein.“ “We are scared and alone. God knows I don’t want to be an angel.” Amazing song! And Rammstein has so many great ones. Glad you take the time to discover what they have. I feel there are some other songs that really bring out his voice as well. Please do take the time to check out “Deutschland” “Klavier” “Seemann” and/or “Ich tut dir weh.” They won’t disappoint. Thanks again for your work! ❤

That live performance is outstanding. Everytime I see and listen to it is awesome.

Love the look on your face when you see Rammstein. You Can not hide that you are in to it.

Rammstein is a super important band for me in my life. Even though I don't speak German, I've never been a big lyric person. I don't think I would have survived my teenage years if it wasn't for them. This performance was a tester show for a US tour. I waited 16 years to see them live and when they played this, I broke down in tears. Not only were they amazing, but it reinforced my love for them, and reminded me that I made the right decision to not do something stupid.

I just binged all of your videos this morning, i really enjoy they way you connect with songs, it reminds me a lot of myself. Youve earned a lifelong fan, and PS im kinda crushing hard over here 😂

The dedication to their craft is second to none. In the music video for 'Ich Tu Dir Weh' Till appears to have a cable going through a hole in the side of his cheek and into his mouth to power a light. THAT'S REAL! He had his cheeck pierced so he could do it properly instead of using special effects like most people would

A Rammstein concert is a true experience. I was fortunate to catch them at the House of Blues in Las Vegas some 20+ years ago.

I remember this as one of the coolest concert scenes I ever witnessed, saw this in Leipzig, Germany back in the day. The stage that essentially disassembles itself at the end was just something else xD

I’ve been a huge Rammstein fan since I was a teenager. I’ve heard every studio and live recording of this song, and I believe the whistling is a playback of the original studio recording due to the perfect reproduction in each performance. I think that the guitarists Richard and Paul are just pursing their lips for showmanship.

You must watch the concert in Montreal 2012. The person who shot it was in the first few rows. They get a damn good close up of Till coming up the ramp to the microphone and it just keeps getting better.....Flame up is around 2 minute mark and wings open around 1m30s mark. Montreal 2012 is so good

Always enjoy your reactions, thank you. Speaking of Rammstein, would love to see you react to Nina Hagen’s cover of their song Seemann. She’s got a ridiculous vocal range. In this song she explores of course the lower part of said range quite extensively. In fact, I believe she starts the song somewhat lower than Till.

I've been to this tour, in particular. I was a good distance from the stage and when pyrotechnics hit, it felt like an explosion. Heat rush!! I was thinking that the treadmill is used to keep from being grounded possibly. Im not sure, but it seems relevant. .

You're so pleasant. I love it. I would like to recommend Fair to Midland next. Dance of the Manatee or The Wife and the Kids and the White Picket Fence.

Till is so theatrical.. love his performances

The sheer intensity and energy in their music is mind-b. I'll leave you with a request. You have to react to Nick Thurl Mavromatis' new song, it's mind-blowing!

Such an amazing band. Till's solo stuff is great too

Hey Bethany! Just saw some of your videos and couldn't stop watching. Congrats! I noticed you don't have any reaction about a marvelous and unic singer from Brazil called Elis Regina (specially in a song called "Como nossos pais"; there is other on good too named "Velha roupa colorida"). I'm sure you'll really love it and maybe make a video reacting.

At 1:55 you ask if the whistle is actually one of the band members whistling. Later on you've noticed that both Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers whistle in their microphones. Yes, it's pre-recorded (as noone, not even Thijs van Leer, which you enjoyed watching the band Focus, would be able to make a whistle sound exactly the same, every single time). Legend has it (although someone mentions it on Reddit, so it must be true 😉), that Richard Kruspe came up with this whistle whilst having a bath, he jumped out of the bath, didn't bother to get dry or get dressed and recorded it immediately as a demo. Later, during the recording of the song, all band members tried to record it again, but getting the notes and intervals as perfect as on the demo was impossible. So they decided to use the demo instead. Ps, new sub here, stumbled on your channel, i am thoroughly enjoying your responses. The manner in which you discuss songs and the singing-aspects spot on ánd very understandable, even for someone like me, who didn't have a formal education in music, but just enjoys listening!

I love Rammstein, not a clue as to the meaning of the words, but they are great. Very dramatic, almost classical symphonic metal!

Love that over the years theyve done different pyro effects to the same songs

Best live band I have ever seen

Rammstein are one of a kind, for sure. I loved their most recent album. I don't know if there are any good live performances of it (I'm not aware of any official recordings, which I think this was). But if you find any, it would be interesting to see you react to them. Otherwise the studio versions themselves are still great. And then, of course, there's their entire back catalogue. I'm on mobile so I can't list everything, but one recommendation that I MUST make is the piano version of Mein Herz Brennt. It might be good to react to the normal rock version as well so as to really understand the difference, but the piano version in particular is one of the very best things they've ever done.

The whistle is a backing track (or played live by Flake on the keyboard).

Great reaction. Another awesome artist from Germany that you should definitely check out is Nina Hagen. She also covered a Rammstein song (Seemann), but I recommend "Nina Hagen - Naturträne (Rockpalast)" for a proper first impression. I'm pretty sure you will be surprised ;)

If you ever see them live, understanding everything in this dense atmosphere, you would be definitely a fan for ever. If you plan to do so, pls don't forget ear protection. You will feel the sounds and rhythm in your stomach.. But - i think you're alrdy a fan.. AFAIK, Till, the singer, is an approved pyrotechnician.. greets from Berlin

The female voice is Bobo from the german band "Bobo In White Wooden Houses" (and yes it was pre-recorded and is from the studio version).

This was "only" a reaction to the Performance.... Translate the Lyrics makes you even more Goosebumps.... Till is a poet (like germans were in earlier times)

"We are afraid and we are alone....God knows I don't want to be an angel (Engel)".........Flake (Fluck-ah) , the keyboardist, IS on a treadmill .......great for his cardio!

Please do more Rammstein! 🤩🙏

If you like this, check out their live video of “Du Hast” in Paris!! The pyrotechnics and filming in that are so spectacular. And his voice is always so amazing. Their presence is just epic!!

OMG you are the best =)
