wow Did not expect that even some one from the Band had comment it. nice. And Olly yes they are live on a Whole Another Level The Life Performance from them are very Entertaining. so far i was on 3 Concert from them it caught me totally offguard.
Two things: 1) Check out Eluveitie, that's a swiss band that sometimes sings in celtic. 2) I have the translated lyrics: [Songtext zu „Das Elfte Gebot“] [Verse 1] The last battle has been fought lead-gray mist cascades across barren land Already you lay on the rack Next to you the Reaper smiles He talks to you, asks for the truth How you are and if you are happy [Chorus 1] For the 11. Commandment demands to live As if tomorrow awaits your death, tomorrow awaits your death Yes thus sayeth the 11. Commandment [Verse 2] The Commandments of ten, written in stone The Grim One has his judgement court God is dead, just I am left And my Commandment is the Eleventh [Chorus 2] For the 11. Commandment demands to live As if tomorrow awaits your death, tomorrow awaits your death Yes thus sayeth the 11. Commandment And to burn out in a blazing fire Yes, so its written in the 11. Commandment The 11. Commandment [Bridge] It's not dead that which lies forever until time defeats the death [Chorus 3] For the 11. Commandment demands to live As if tomorrow awaits your death, tomorrow awaits your death Tomorrow awaits your death Tomorrow awaits your death Yes the 11. Commandment demands to live And to burn out in a blazing fire Thus its written in the 11. Commandment
More or less the refrain is saying that the 11th commandment commands to live, because tomorrow is already waiting the dead. And also it commands to love and to enjoy onself. They made the song and video last autumn. That it becomes so actual at the moment is really strange.
Well, Tarmo said it quite well. The song is about the 11th commandment. The message tells to live every day like it is your last day, to live and to love. The white lady is the life, the black, the death. Glad you like the band! It’s one of my favs 💙🤘
I´m from Germany and like your reaction. Here I give you a rough translation of the lyrics: [Verse 1] The last battle has been fought Lead-gray haze moves over barren land You're already lying there on a bar The Grim Reaper grins next to you He speaks to you, asks for the truth How you are and whether you are happy [Chorus 1] Because the Eleventh Commandment commands to live As if death is waiting tomorrow, death tomorrow Yes, that's what the Eleventh Commandment says [Verse 2] The commandments ten, written in stone The father(grim reaper) speaks his criminal court God is dead, only I stayed And my commandment is the eleventh [Chorus 2] Because the Eleventh Commandment commands to live As if death is waiting tomorrow, death tomorrow Yes, the eleventh commandment says to love And to burn up in flames Yes, that's what the Eleventh Commandment says The eleventh commandment [Bridge] What is eternal is not dead Until time defeats death [Chorus 3] Because the Eleventh Commandment commands to live As if death is waiting tomorrow, death tomorrow Death tomorrow Death tomorrow Yes, the eleventh commandment says to love And to burn up in flames That's what the Eleventh Commandment says
Seen them live a couple of times. They startes as a kind of medieval-fun-metal Band but got more serious (but not missing out the fun) the last couple of albums. Live Feuerschwanz is a blast! They now how to entertain and get the audience to a pumped up party.
This is one of my favourite bands, I love them and that newest Song of them is so awesome. Different from their earlier stuff for sure as they have a lot of more fun songs about drinking and partying but really good. I can't wait for the new Album.
Glad you liked it. They have been around in germany for a bit and they do love a bit of wordplay in their lyrics. For other songs I would love methämmer, Schubsetanz, sex is muss or moralisch (höchst verwerflich).
Hi Olly, in german folk rock the violin, or the fiddle, as I would call it here, is not an unusual instrument. For example one of the founding members of Feuerschwanz plays the fiddle in the band Fiddler's Green. I would like it, if you react to their song "Down". Its like "El condor Pasa" meets "Bella ciao", but as speedfolk, and with multilingual lyrics. ruclips.net/video/Fm8grOHUZYw/видео.html Or you do their song "No Anthem", which has a more punkrockiish attitude: ruclips.net/video/hLwK6bOzQOA/видео.html Back to the 11th commandment: In the quieter part of the Song, where most of the instruments pause, they use the german translation of an H.P. Lovecraft quote: „That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange æons, even death may die“
you are great man, you had to listen to Feuerschwanz-Schubsetanz. Have fun ;) and as a German, the Bands name, translated it can be firecock or firetail. Even germans are not sure about that.
Already watched this a few times the day it was released, but this is such a great song about life (lady in white) & death (lady in black). The band's name translates "Fire Tail" in English & the song's name "The 11th Commandment".
@@tarmotyyri6733 You still know quite a bit from 40+ years ago then… :-) Heck, although I consider my English not being that bad, I didn't have a clue on how to translate "Gebot" without looking it up… :-D
Considering Feuerschwanz is known to handle... content more of a sexual topic (Sex Is Muss, a wordplay for both sexism and you should have sex / Wunsch ist Wunsch (which has lyrics as "Bück dich Fee" (bend forward, fairy), it should rather be translated to flaming/fire penis. Their character names are also wordplays! Johanna von der Vögelweide (the violinist) uses the word "Vögel(n)", which is another description for sex in Germany. But Vögelweide translates to "meadow of birds" aswell. Just some insight :)
Normally I dont like reaction videos from people who are not able to understand the lyrics because most people will misunderstand the songs. This video is different! When I was watching Olly he was feeling the music and reacting to the music and not only the lyrics or the look of the band - thats really good. At first I was surprised to see an english reaction video of Feuerschwanz at they facebook page but after a few moments i totally understood why the posted this video. Good job Olly and greetings from germany ;)
English Lyrics: The last battle is fought grey, heavy dust rolls over barren land Yet you lay there on a bier Besides you the reaper grins He quoths to you, asks for the truth, How you do and if you are happy. For the eleventh bidding commands to live life to the fullest As if death would take us tomorrow (x2) Thus tells us the eleventh bidding. Of the biddings ten are carved in stone. The reaper's holding tribunal God is dead, I remain. And my bidding shall be the eleventh For the eleventh bidding commands to live life to the fullest As if death would take us tomorrow (x2) Thus tells us the eleventh bidding. For the eleventh bidding commands to live life to the fullest As if death would take us tomorrow The eleventh bidding inspires us to love and to burn bright like a dying star - Thus tells us the eleventh bidding. The eleventh bidding That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die For the eleventh bidding commands to live life to the fullest As if death would take us tomorrow take us tomorrow take us tomorrow The eleventh bidding inspires us to love and to burn bright like a dying star - Thus tells us the eleventh bidding.
You are right olly, they are amazing. If the remaining tracks from the new album will be all this good is something only time can tell, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them (at least in germay) claming rank 1 of the charts.
I liked this band (so far anyways haha)! Speaking of trolls, have you ever heard the band Finntroll? They're a Finnish folk/black metal band...they do some pretty heavy and catchy music but the vocals may be a bit off-putting for most of your subscribers. Back to Feuerschwanz..this song is very catchy and upbeat. They kinda remind me of a cross between In Extremo and Rammstein. Please do more reactions to their music. Cheers! Edit: Eluveitie may be another band worth investigating. They even have a hurdy-gurdy in some songs.
There seems to be a pretty healthy scene for this kind of thing in Germany. I have listened to Corvus Corax and Tanzwut for quite some time and a few years ago I got interested to see what else was out there and found Saltatio Mortis and Feuerschwanz. Now I just seem to keep finding more bands recently I found Harpyie and a couple of others within a few days I had not heard of before.
@@sidoniel.8304 I have been an old school goth for 30+ years listening to things goth, industrial and adjacent. So bands like OOMPH! and Lord of The Lost I have known about for quite some time as there is a pretty big crossover from German bands into the goth scene. Van Canto and Avantasia ring a bell, I have probably come across them on RUclips or one of the compilations I have but could not name a song. I think some people might have been reacting to Avantasia. I don't think I have heard Equilibrium. Again Beyond the Black sort of rings a bell but I am probably mixing the name up with Razed In Black.
@@PurpleDracos Van Canto is an acapella metal band with drums ^^ its always funny to listen to them. I always have to name them if I read a comment about german bands. Equilibrium is some strange type of symphonic metal and way different to some other bands of the same genre. I really like "Born to be Epic" and "Rise Again" from them :) Beyond the Black is pretty known so you probably heard of them
@@sidoniel.8304 I had a look at some Van Canto on RUclips and have like what I have seen so far. I am really happy today though as I have just found Chris and Dero's project from last year Die Kreatur. After just a couple of tracks I had to buy it.
Hey Olly. These guys just released their new album "Memento Mori" and every single song is a banger. You should check out "Memento Mori", Untot im Drachenboot", Krampus" .. but you should hear what they did with Manowar's "Warriors Of The World United" it will blow your socks off!
@Olly The Rock If you're interested on the 26th of June they're doing a crowdfunded Online Open Air Concert (it's starting at around 20:45 GMT+1 i believe it is) For anyone else, they're probably really happy if you'll come and take part in it and support them :) little edit: it's for the new album which is named after this song here (Das Elfte Gebot)
IT is a very good Liveband. You should listen to saltatio mortis, "my mother told me " or " pray to the hunter". Both Bands play often by the same Festivals.
Please do more Feuerschwanz. I would highly recommend "Metfest": ruclips.net/video/N39NXEzDJyE/видео.html Also if you want to see them live, there is a complete concert on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/4-icZwOk7Vw/видео.html
It's pronounced Foyer Schwanz. I'll let you look up what there name means lol. These guys rock! Check out some of their earlier stuff, like "Blöde Frage..." great good times & happy drinking song.
Hey Olly! Finally some Feuerschwanz =D Did you still use your "Recommendation-Video-Comments" for suggestions? Because I'd posted ~7 Recommendations there ~5months ago with no response from your end^^ I'm just curious if this is still the Way to suggest stuff, because IIRC I also recommended Feuerschwanz there^^ Love you, and keep up the good Work! Cheers
[ˈfɔɪ̯ɐʃvant͡s] = Feuerschwanz now try to pronounce it. I also lobe the song and I love reaction videos from people around the world. But the pronounciation sounds most of the time so wrong, that I am not sure, they even mean the right band.
Try to learn a little German. We have to learn English at school. And it would be quite normal for you other Europeans to learn a little German like it's normal to us to learn englisch...
Hey there, your video got blocked because of copyright stuff but we got it unblocked. Thanks for the video and glad you liked the song! :)
I love it, going to do more.
@@ollytherock7324 now you gotta react to "Hans", another song of Feuerschwanz! (please? xD)
Hans^^
Ein guter Hans ! Super Geste von euch
wow Did not expect that even some one from the Band had comment it. nice. And Olly yes they are live on a Whole Another Level The Life Performance from them are very Entertaining. so far i was on 3 Concert from them it caught me totally offguard.
One thing you need to know about this Band.... they don‘t take themselves too serious!!! 🤘🏻
Two things:
1) Check out Eluveitie, that's a swiss band that sometimes sings in celtic.
2) I have the translated lyrics:
[Songtext zu „Das Elfte Gebot“]
[Verse 1]
The last battle has been fought
lead-gray mist cascades across barren land
Already you lay on the rack
Next to you the Reaper smiles
He talks to you, asks for the truth
How you are and if you are happy
[Chorus 1]
For the 11. Commandment demands to live
As if tomorrow awaits your death, tomorrow awaits your death
Yes thus sayeth the 11. Commandment
[Verse 2]
The Commandments of ten, written in stone
The Grim One has his judgement court
God is dead, just I am left
And my Commandment is the Eleventh
[Chorus 2]
For the 11. Commandment demands to live
As if tomorrow awaits your death, tomorrow awaits your death
Yes thus sayeth the 11. Commandment
And to burn out in a blazing fire
Yes, so its written in the 11. Commandment
The 11. Commandment
[Bridge]
It's not dead that which lies forever
until time defeats the death
[Chorus 3]
For the 11. Commandment demands to live
As if tomorrow awaits your death, tomorrow awaits your death
Tomorrow awaits your death
Tomorrow awaits your death
Yes the 11. Commandment demands to live
And to burn out in a blazing fire
Thus its written in the 11. Commandment
More or less the refrain is saying that the 11th commandment commands to live, because tomorrow is already waiting the dead. And also it commands to love and to enjoy onself. They made the song and video last autumn. That it becomes so actual at the moment is really strange.
So Olly, Feuerschwanz posted you on their Facebook-page. Figured you should know for some reason.
Cool, they are amazing
@@ollytherock7324 Indeed they are! :)
Well, Tarmo said it quite well. The song is about the 11th commandment. The message tells to live every day like it is your last day, to live and to love. The white lady is the life, the black, the death.
Glad you like the band! It’s one of my favs 💙🤘
Well Olly, I am German and damn, thanks for reacting to Feuerschwanz :) They are funny, cool and some kind of crazy :D
i love them
I´m from Germany and like your reaction.
Here I give you a rough translation of the lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The last battle has been fought
Lead-gray haze moves over barren land
You're already lying there on a bar
The Grim Reaper grins next to you
He speaks to you, asks for the truth
How you are and whether you are happy
[Chorus 1]
Because the Eleventh Commandment commands to live
As if death is waiting tomorrow, death tomorrow
Yes, that's what the Eleventh Commandment says
[Verse 2]
The commandments ten, written in stone
The father(grim reaper) speaks his criminal court
God is dead, only I stayed
And my commandment is the eleventh
[Chorus 2]
Because the Eleventh Commandment commands to live
As if death is waiting tomorrow, death tomorrow
Yes, the eleventh commandment says to love
And to burn up in flames
Yes, that's what the Eleventh Commandment says
The eleventh commandment
[Bridge]
What is eternal is not dead
Until time defeats death
[Chorus 3]
Because the Eleventh Commandment commands to live
As if death is waiting tomorrow, death tomorrow
Death tomorrow
Death tomorrow
Yes, the eleventh commandment says to love
And to burn up in flames
That's what the Eleventh Commandment says

If you like that band you will love In Extremo. They are pretty similar to them and also German. 😉

Already watched this a few times the day it was released, but this is such a great song about life (lady in white) & death (lady in black). The band's name translates "Fire Tail" in English & the song's name "The 11th Commandment".
Hey Tarmo. Do you really know all this or are you just that fast at researching? ;-)
@@danielberger1378 It helps to have learned German at school for three years, although it was 40+ years ago.
