As a 50+ years old former punk rocker, she's one of my heroes. When even the punk community looked at her and thought "WTF?!" sometimes tells you how far out she could be. And you were right; she's crazy in the good way! And always honest and never shuts up to not offend anyone. In my opinion, anyone who gets "offended" by the truth needs it more.

Nina is an examined opera singer, not one of that short starlets populating all charts. She's brillant.

Merkel wanted the Bundeswehr band play the song "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" (song by / formerly sung by Nina Hagen) as her farewell song at the end of her term in office.

An interesting choice, because Hagen was still an East-German singer back then and only could make a single with the state's approval. The song is said to, under the surface, to complain about things like colour film being hard to get, and the communist government taking colour out of life. Merkel of course grew up in the DDR too, but didn't move to West-Germany like Hagen.

I love Nina. She is the perfect singer and gave me so much when I was 16 or 17. She is the missing element between the conservative and rebellion people. These are my thoughts as a German.

She is truly amazing

Punk was created to make the middle and upper classes in particular feel uncomfortable. When you think of punk, bands like the Sex Pistols come to mind. For me, Nina Hagen is the real deal. She's the essence of punk. Greetings from Germany

Her best known song in all of Germany is arguably "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen". Originally mostly known in the GDR (East Germany), it rose to all-German prominence when Angela Merkel had it played by the Bundeswehr brass band for her "Großer Zapfenstreich" (sort of military tattoo event performed to honour her as she left the office of chancellor)

Sure there have been some great artists coming from modern music like Scorpions, Peter Maffay, Inga Rumpf (best german blues singer), Vince Weber etc.; but I have to say there's nobody quite like our beloved Nina Hagen!

Prima Nina, unsere geliebte Godmother of Punk...crazy that there are places she is unknown, cause she was a big influence for so many musicians...🙃

Your reactions to Nina are like mine, I am always blown away by her. Please listen to more of her music, she is exceptionally diverse. I recommend the Rock in Rio concert from 85 and the Rockpalast concert from 99, both on KZread. Enjoy 🙂

Yes!Thats Nina as she lifes and loves❤

You are one of the few reactions that really understood her. That's great.

That Video is 40 something years old. In Germany, it is hard not to know her or at least her daughter, Cosma Shiva Hagen, for the younger people. Some say she is crazy, some say she is a genius. No matter what she is, she was and is always entertaining.

Awesome to see a reaction video on Nina! She had a hit - or at least was played a lot on the radio in Spain in the 80s, with a song that IIRC correctly was called I want to go to Africa. Or that may just be the chorus. Anyway, it was brilliant, actually quite catchy but bonkers! Watching her performance here, I see that she was probably a little inspired by Screaming Jay Hawkins, which I'd not realised before. So much music is boring these days. We were so lucky to grow up in the 70s and 80s.

Nina is amazing. Find her covers of Ziggy Stardust as well, or Seemn togheter with Apocalyptica, or her song So Bad, or just anything. She might be the most fantastic artist throughout humanity, when she's at her peak.

There are moments I am really proud of being a German. Indeed Nins Hagen is a real cultic artist. 40 years ago there were not so few who just thought she was crazy....😊

Nina Hagen has similarly been something of a recent revelation to me. The albums are certainly worth your time, "Nunsexmonkrock" and "Revolution Ballroom" being two that I've singled out and enjoy particularly. This scary and distraught world is a happier place, for me, to know that she's in it.

Thanks for that great reaction! She is very ‘Berlin’, I don’t know how to explain it in any other way, and therefore pretty hard to understand in her mannerisms if you’re not used to it. She’s simply a legend.

Its hard for outstanding people to understand, but its very funny. Both of them start the careers together, i think. And they are over 60 jo. Sorry for my English. And greetings from Germany.

Pls. react to,, Seemann" with apocalyptica and her.🎉

Love her performance of "Naturträne" also very much. Unfortunately she left that band (Nina Hagen Band / Spliff) shortly after this was recorded and in my opinion never reached that high musical standard again.

You should watch "Seemann" Nina & Apocalyptica, written by Rammstein

she is the one. for sure... !

I remember Nina so well 😄 She was ahead of her times. She still is alive thogh. I remember seeing this scandal. I still listen to her first West German Album. In East Germany she was a Schlagersänger. But this "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" has nothing to do with the stuff that she made in the west. "Unbeschreiblich weiblich" was amazing. A song about women rights. An album that I still listen to every ~3 Month. This song is funny too. I still use her:' PromPT wirds mir jetzt schwer ums Herz',as my running joke, every time it fits. She isn''t that easy to listen to. She's a trained classic singer. And she uses her voice! It's nice that you've chosen her for your video.

Her mother was an opera singer in East Germany - there are videos online where the two of them do a duet together.

Check out Electric Callboy from Germany and be surprised and fans of them! Guaranteed!

Nina studied classic music back in day in the GDR/DDR. Then she flew from East Germany to west Germany. And started a punk band in Berlin

"Naturtränen" was in the 80´s and she was a part of what we now calling "New Wave Opera" or in germany just as Crazy cassic Shit from the 80´s. Expresionism would go as well. If you want a counter-tenor to this song, search Klaus Nomi here in KZread.

Nina Hagen was in a relationship with Dutch singer Herman Brood and they made a film together, called Cha Cha. They knew a little bit about drugs.

"Naturträne" (1979) about melancholy is one of her early fun songs, as is "TV-Glotzer" (tv watching 1978 -- kzread.info/dash/bejne/fIuussV9pL3AitI.html). It is based on the music of an US-Band called "White Punks on Dope" with pretty funny new German lyrics against watching to much tv. A very serious song is "Auf'm Bahnhof Zoo im Damenklo" which at the beginning of the 1980s was a hotspot for minor (12, 13 y. and older) heroine addicted prostitutes (kzread.info/dash/bejne/io2VlNueZKq2iZs.html). A must is the cover version of Rammstein's song "Seemann" together with the band Apocalyptica of the older Nina (kzread.info/dash/bejne/qGGN3MavnaeYkbQ.html) about a young woman who left her home due to problems with her mother and became a prostitute.

I'm from East Germany (like her) and She is my favorite as well. As a Child I loved the same Song like Merkel. (By the way "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" is about a rape) But later I liked more her punk-stuff. I can also recommend "seemann" by apocalyptica feat. nina hagen. (It's here on YT) .- than can you here here incredible voice bandwidth.

Yep. our Nina. She can do something. She sings over 5 octaves when necessary. Look "TV-Glotzer", from 1978. You have to know it! it's the same concert.

If you like this, you should look into Klaus Nomi as well.

If you enjoy european rock musicians who somehow act like opera singers, then you might enjoy the german Klaus Nomi (recommended song „Total Eclipse“) or the fantastic french prog rockers Magma with bizarre choirs of made up language (recommended song „Mekanik Destrüktiw Kommandöh“).

Nina is for sure crazy and that in all ways (good & bad). As other comments already recommended her Rammstein Cover of "Seeman" together with Apocalyptica : kzread.info/dash/bejne/qGGN3MavnaeYkbQ.htmlsi=V2T69ugTgMrsKMJh It is less experimental then this one, but still very operatic and expressive with classical strings.
