Hello from Germany! Many people have problems to translate and understand the lyrics from Rammstein. The reason is, that the lyrics in their songs are a kind of art and poetry. So you can´t only translate the words. Art should provoke and everyone can interpret art himselfs. So the meaning of the song could be diffrent for everyone who hears it. For example in Germany could "Du hast mich gefragt (You have asked me)" be interpreted like the short phrase of "Du hast mich gefragt ob ich Dich heiraten will (You have asked me if i want to marry you)". The reaction of this question is "...und ich hab nichts gesagt (...and i say nothing)". The follow question traditional is asked by a priest at the marriage altar in Germany "Willst Du bis der Tot Euch scheidet treu Ihr sein für alle tage (Do you want to be faithful to her for all days long until that the death separates you)" The answer of this question in the Song is "Nein (No)!" Maybe you understand at the second refrain "Du hasst mich (You hate me)" and no more "Du hast mich (You have me)". Both expressions sounds the same in Germany! There are only a few words in the Song "Du Hast", but there are many ways to understand them. Sorry for my poorly english, but i hope you understand what I mean...
Thank you for the explanation...I always heard it as "you have--asked me a question." Your English is better than my German...just ask my German speaking ex wife!
Thats what makes me so happy when I see this video: Young french singing in german and cheering a german band and you'll find it the other way round too. Thats wonderfull!
It is "you…you have…(asked me)" not "you hate me" The "hate" is the double meaning because it sounds the same in german language. The meaning reveals later with "…mich gefragt" ( asked me ). It is an obvious and clever trick in german grammar. I love you guys for dealing with it. Cheers from Germany.
Your "Expert" in chat is wrong about the translation. Du hasst = You hate. Du hast = You have. It's a piece of intentional wordplay, you don't know if he's saying "Have" or "Hate" until the following line. The lyrics are essentially wedding vows being turned down. This was a successful song commercially but not their best, not by a mile, it's very simple and accessible. You'll end up doing plenty more Rammstein as time goes on so I won't bother making any specific requests, I do suggest you pull up translated lyrics after watching the performances though, they combine poetry with some... Interesting subject matter. Their live shows are crazy good, I saw them live in 2005 and almost melted in the heat of the pyro.
@@janadean2103 Eisbrecher are great, I've spread the word about them among all my Rammstein-fan friends 'n' family. The only problem is, I saw the music video to Zwischen Uns and Nina de Lianin looks so much like my ex in it, that it became genuinely uncomfortable and psychologically connected the band with somebody I'd rather forget :P
It's an intended play on words from the writer between hasst and hast since you can't hear the difference and both apply as i understood. So pulling up lyrics might also take away some of the magic
Lyrical breakdown: Some folks confuse the original German version "Du Hast" (You Have) with the English version "You Hate". Not the same song. The second would be spelled Du Hasst, (Haßt). The original German version lyrically could be interpreted as a 3 part conversation between a bride, groom, and priest at altar. "You have me. You have asked me and I said nothing." Priest: (loosley translated) Will you love her even in the bad days and the death of her "sheath" ("tod euch scheide" aka menopause). Bride: (inner thought of happiness) Jaaaa! (Yes!) Groom: NEIN! (NO!) Then he leaves her. Their whole music catalog is incredibly weird when you take the time to translate and put their lyrics into context. FWIW, Rammstein name themselves after the air base in Germany (Ramstein rhymes with 'mine') where there was an air show accident in 1988 that killed 70 people and injured 500 more. They have a self-titled track that tells that story. I am retired Air Force and was stationed there for 7 years. 🤘🤘💥💥💥 "Heirate Mich" (trans. Marry Me) is my fav track by them. I recommend you check it out. It's kind of a creepy German version of Poe's 'Annabel Lee"
Thank you. I am Danish and speak middling German and I was confused why they said it meant hate, as I always understood it as what you say, then I got confused and thought maybe I was misunderstanding. My German is good enough to get by in Germany, but it isn't fluent so I am not secure enough to not get confused like that :).
While the songs name is "Du Hast" it´s still a lyrical word play between to have and to hate. I think it is a deliberate wrong translation to show the second meaning of the lyrics.
I always heard it as "bis der Tod euch scheidet" - until death parts you. Nothing to do with female genitalia, just a traditional formulation of marriage vows. But if he does use "scheide", it could be the conjunctive, another play on words after hast/hasst. Rammstein are clever enough to do that.
Til Lindemann is a licensed and skilled Pyrotechnician, he puts his expertise into every live concert they do, so everybody makes sure to come because they know they're getting a show. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!
I'm pretty sure I heard/read/saw somewhere that _all_ the Rammsteiners are licensed pyrotechnicians. Maybe even, like, 14% of any given audience in front of them, too. I don't know...
Rammstein has literally some of the best live shows of any band thats ever existed. Till Lindemann is such an epic front man i literally used to look at him like he was an action star or something when i was younger, he has such an awesome stage presence and strong voice, Rammstein is a big deal, I even learned about them in German class in highschool back in 2005 cause my german teacher was awesome! could definitely do some more Rammstein reactions! I feel like their keyboardist really helps pull a lot of their songs together for people that generally wouldnt like metal, cuz he really always holds their songs together on a catchy melody level a lot!
I used to see a lot of bands in my 20s (back in the 90s lol) and Rammstein was, by FAR, the best live show I ever saw. Fire! Water! Leather! Props that represented certain parts of human anatomy! F**king EPIC performance!
Saw an interview with Till and Richard and they said the missing piece for Rammstein was Flake Lorenz the keyboardist, when he joined they went to the next level
I love how Brad is sitting there processing what he’s looking at and Lex is bouncing and enjoying the beat. Btw it’s not blood, it’s pyro gel so he doesn’t get burned from the fireworks. Amazing how one band can have the French people singing in German love the unity
“Du haßt mich” means you hate me. “Du hast mich” means you have me. Both very similar sounding with very different translations. “Haßt” also can be written as “hasst”
Hete’ what “Du hast” is all about according to Wikipedia: The title Du hast is a play on words with the second person singular of haben and hassen. The content is about a marriage proposal that the lyrical I is initially undecided about accepting, but ultimately decides against, which becomes clear in the refrain: "Will you till death do you part Be faithful to her for all your days? (Yes), No! Will you till death do you part Love her even in evil days? (Yes), No!"
@Gavin Lisle please, if native speakers explain to you part of their language, maybe trust their opinion. The wordplay is so obvious that little children (german ones of course) grasp this concept intuitively. If you are interested there is a video of little german kids reacting to rammstein and giving their thoughts and opinions (it's a pretty cute video and has subtitles). The play works because of how the text only gradually expands its meaning(s).
When I met my husband he said he could die a happy man if he could see them in concert. Less than 2 weeks later I got an email from Phillips Arena in Atlanta that tickets were going on sale. We were 3 people behind the barricade at the front. I’m only 5’ so I saw NOTHING of the concert but I felt all the pyro and they put on a great show. This is the song that my husband would call their “poser” song.
My daughter Leigh has the rammers R tattooed on her on and the German flag colour inside it.. She has this thing that if some one say..ooh I like Rammstein. She then asks them what their favourite song is, if they say du hast or sonne, she laughs and walks away and says it's Rammstein for beginners.. Pure metal head snobbery.😂 These guys should react to Liebe ist fur alle da, that tune kicks ass. Or du riechst so gut, benzine, feuer Frei...that song live when they have the flame throwers attached to their heads is a sight to behold...🤘🤘🔥🔥🤘🤘
Rammstein has members that are professionally certified in the use of pyrotechnics, so they can get away with fire and explosion effects in their shows that other bands wouldn't attempt for safety reasons. The result is some real crazy shows. My dad saw them years back. Said he was at least a few hundred feet from the stage and could still feel the heat of the pyrotechnics.
I love to see Lex are happy and go to rock.... (sorry for my bad english, but i`m from Germany and a litte bit older). I love to see that music (Rock) can make a smile on faces....
Yeah, I guess you like watching the singer beating the guitarists on the ass with the strap on he's wearing, while he's bent over. Saw them once and when that shit started going on.... I gave up on them real quick.
@@thomasjr11111 Imagine being SO homophobic that you give up on a band because of a comedy stage act for one song... Then 25 years later you are watching reaction videos to the band and questioning the viewers on their sexuality.. Overcompensating for something?
@@oibabayaga9935 well that's your personal taste, at least you are not arguing with some homophobic arguments 😂 When I was younger, Du Hast was a boring song to me aswell. Now it's okay, maybe because I became a fan.
Rammstein is one of those bands... for me... that you can play the album from track 1 all the way through without skipping a single one. All they make are hits. And I've seen them live 3 times, no show is the same and they are three of the best live show's that I've ever been to.
You hate me = Du hasst mich You have(got) me = Du hast mich They playing with the sense, and its all about a wedding. Du hast mich. Years later maybe, Du hasst mich. My usual language is German and i don't get at the first time too. ✌🏼
Was very fortunate that a friend of mine brought me to their show during their tour of the US in 2011, and holy shit, they have one of the greatest shows you could ever go see. Their set was a good 3 hours, and it was one of the greatest experiences i've had to this day.
I never laughed so hard at your reaction before !! her reaction is priceless " oh when I work out I love that really dark metal , makes me feel so good and relaxed " Him : looks at her and profusely starts looking for a bible or exorcism book lol !! love you guys !! this video was priceless
The song itself is about a person who has a choice: either friends or a beloved woman. And he chooses friends. In the chorus, they ask him: will you be faithful to her? Answer: No.))
Lol Brad is always sitting there trying to decipher the “meaning” in everything, and sometimes I feel like he just needs to not think so much and enjoy the music. Not everything has deep meaningful lyrics.
in fact "du hast" is kind of a word game in german. "du hast mich..." means "you have (asked) me" and "du hasst mich" means "you hate me" the thing is that both sounds exactly the same in german. So even in german you dont know what they mean as long as you hear just the first 3 words. But with the fourth word (gefragt /asked) the meaning is clear.
@@TubetakerBHV it's on the same album as the original as well as an English version of Engel, neither are fully English , but there's enough to get the point across
@@johnbush5347 Yeah, it's a shame the wordplay gets lost in translation. Translating songs/lyrics is a nightmare when trying to keep all the features intact.
People are chill at the show because this is probably one of the calmer songs. Iconic, but simple and very easy to enjoy and rock out to without expending energy
The song is a play on traditional German wedding vows. It's "Du Hast" = You Have, not "Du Hasst" = You Hate. It's right in the title of the song. You, you have, you have me You, you have, you have me You, you have, you have me You, you have, you have me You, you have, you have me You have me, you asked me You asked me, you asked me and I said nothing Do you want, until death separates you To be faithful to her for all days (Yes) No (Yes) No Do you want, until death, which would separate To love her, even in bad days (Yes) No (Yes) No You, you have, you have me You, you have, you have me You, you have, you have me You have me, you asked me You asked me, you asked me and I said nothing Do you want, until death separates you To be faithful to her for all days (Yes) No (Yes) No Do you want, until death, which would separate To love her, even in bad days (Yes) No (Yes) No Do you want, until death separates you To be faithful to her for all days (Yes) No (Yes) No
I would translate this part: Du hast mich gefragt, Du hast mich gefragt, Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab' nichts gesagt You asked me You asked me, you asked me and I said nothing More like this: You have asked me, you have asked me, you have asked me and I have not replied. Just becuase as an non english native, I think the "hast" needs to be translated as well and in my thinkin "you have asked me" is more logical than "you asked me".. x) Other than that, great effort. I enjoy when someone puts some effort in their comments instead of just spamming "PLZ LISTEN TO X or X or X" (which I also sometimes am guilty) :D
I love how into it Lex is getting. Rammstein has been my favorite ever since my sister bought me sehnsucht with the matching album cover t shirt back in middle school for my birthday. Seeing someone hear them for the first time always puts a smile on my face. Like them or hate them, Rammstein is in their own league. You will never go to a show as awesome as a Rammstein show.
I enjoyed your reaction, especially the intuitive female version. She was so accurate to know that alot of fans (from the perspective of a 69 year old who saw alot of rock concerts in the 70's) that we are "cool" on the outside but freaking out on the inside. It was fun to watch her enthusiasm . I highly recommend Sonne with the Snow White video, so awesome.
The chillness is cathartic. A lot of people mistake metal or rock as people who are angry etc. But I’ve always found it to be relaxing and empowering in equal measure.
well, death metal is only way I can see is angry people ,because the genre speaks for itself. This is industrial metal, so to mix this with heavy or death metal where lets face it , a lot of songs are filled with hatred, angriness, killing etc....
Hahaha, the spontaneous reaction of Lex is so funny and impulsive, very sympathic! :P You could be also a catchy stage performancer! Brad, it's Electro Metal, with High Energy rythm guitars and pumping techno beats, nothing to chill, but to flip out ^^
The whole sentence is "Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab' nichts gesagt." It is NOT "Du hasst" with double S which would in fact mean "You hate" but it does not. The whole sentence would be "You.. You have.. You've asked me.. You've asked me but I didn't answer."
Then why does the english version of the song say, "You hate me to say but I did not obey." ? It seems like the very artist seems to contradict what you are saying. Not saying you are wrong about the direct translation, but they seem to have a different opinion.
@@DarthPoyner Rammstein likes to contradict everything, but in this very context du Hasst would not make sense, and hast means have, hasst is hate, it's very basic German knowledge
@@DarthPoyner I am german my friend. It's true that sometimes there might be a different meaning in the same sentences, but this is clearly what they mean. Plus in the next part where he's doing the wedding vow (which is a question) and then answers "no" to it. So please do not use literal or direct translation and trust me on this one as a german. It bothers me in almost every videos where they think it's "You hate". Like, if you do a little bit of work and translate the sentence as a whole you would get the right translation. Even though I don't get why people add the second S in context if you try "du hast" no translator should result in you hate because it's just not the same word, there is missing the S. And to finish of my novel here (sorry for that) : grammar is very important in this case. in german "Du hast" is not considered a sentence and that means that the sentence itself only works and makes sense when completed. Much love from Germany share music share love my friends.
the rumor when I was in high school was that his intention was for it to be both at the same time. the song is about a bad relationship so he's playing off the german wedding vows and the phonetic similarities between hast and hasst. because it's a play of the wedding vows for the story I think it would have to be written as hast from an artistic stand point. he might be singing "you have" in the german version but my guess would be he's intending for it to be taken both ways for the majority of the song. also, are the sounds distinct enough to be able to tell which word it is without sentence structure for context??
@@alangary9893 Agreed brother. I'm more of a Metallica and Tool person but I definitely enjoy several other metal bands. System of a down, Static X, Godsmack, Slipknot etc. Love it bro
They are a German industrial metal band, they are great as you have seen 😁 all there shows are filled with pyrotechnics (one of the band members is a pyro-technician)
Brad: "So this is where I'm confused.. this is not a chill song, right?" meanwhile Lex is about bouncing through the ceiling right next to you 🤣🤣🤣 You two have such a great react channel, I love it so much!!
Just gatta find something Brad likes lyrically and he’s a fan. Try”Mein Hers Brent” ,”Mein Tiel”, “Sonne” or if you want to make him uncomfortable “Mann Gegen Mann”
Mein Hers Brent is brilliant noise...... what's the one with the Scottish chick singing along.... Stirb Nicht Voor Mir? Anyway, awesome, transporting.....
Best live shows ever, the band just goes insane with the pyros and lightshows. I don't even care for their music much, but I went on their concert just to experience the show and it was well worth it!
Rammstein are the founding fathers of what is called "Industrial Metal", it's Metal mixed up with electronic and especially techno music. They're very much a visual band as much for their crazy live shows with tones of pyro and various props than for their powerful and beautiful Music videos that are worth watching too!
@@armanbektasevic4369 They are industrial metal, but strictly speaking not at all the founding fathers - that honour arguably goes to Throbbing Gristle.. Ministry and White Zombie took up the baton (commercially at least), and there are a multitude of other bands. As Arman said Laibach were right there in the mix along with the likes of Godflesh, Killing Joke and Nitzer Ebb. Rammstein are fantastic, and I love them, but their biggest success is making industrial commercial and they are standing on the shoulders of giants.
@@Warmenlt you can find interview with the guys from Rammstein talking about who had influence on them, and Laibach is one of them, and you call them garbage it's ok, I call them avant garde. How many western bands you know off who played in North Corea?
It’s a whole subgenre of metal called Industrial. There’s others like KMFDM, Ministry and even some of Rob Zombies earlier solo stuff. You’re right! It may not be something youd listen to around the house, unless you actually need to do some house work, or a good workout.
That’s the most emotion I have seen from Brad. Rammstein singer is licensed in pyrotechnics. The shiny “paint” he is wearing is a flame retardant material. This is one of the most badass concerts I have seen!!
Here in Finland we have this band called Ruoska. It's kinda like finlands own Rammstein.. Here is just few songs to listen. -Tuonen viemää -Alasin -Liha vasten lihaa -Pure minua -Porttikielto taivaaseen
Aweome! Clicked like a bullet!! Masters of heavy, crunchy riffs and live shows! I´ve seen them live once and it was the best live show I ever went to! About the lyrics, they play a lot with double meanings in the german language. Du Hast can be "you hate" and "you have" and they play around that. This is an absolutly one of a kind band, you gotta do more and always the live shows, you ain´t seen nothing yet! Anything from the Paris or Madison Square Garden live shows is epic! Try the beautiful "Engel" live in Madison Square Garden or the banger "Ich Tu Dir Weh" also live in Madison Square Garden! Also "Sonne" live in Paris is a blast! Please do more, you´ll be jumping around and rocking the trailer....at least Lex will for sure :)
"hast" is not "hate" it's a German modal verb like 'have'. The lyrics are: "You. You have. You have asked. You have asked me a question. And I had said nothing." But it does does sound like "hasst" - a form of the verb hassen which does mean hate. So at first you think it says "You. You hate. You hate me" but then the last couple of words reveal that it was "have" and not "hate". And then the chorus is the actual question which is the ceremonial question the priest asks at a wedding sorta like "Do you want, until death, which would separate, to love her, even in bad days" And then a resounding answer: Nein! (No!).
I literally shiver when someone explains the lyrics wrong to you and it fucks up the entire experience. I mean, it's literally a song about asking someone about upholding the western style wedding vows. That's it.
Lol if you actually knew the translation. Hast means have hasst is hate . It is about Marriage. It means you have me . Goes on to vows do you promise to be loyal he says no . Lol
Then why does the english version of the song say, "You hate me to say but I did not obey." ? It seems like the very artist seems to contradict what you are saying. Not saying you are wrong about the direct translation, but they seem to have a different opinion.
@@DarthPoyner it is difficult to translate most of Ramstein s lyriks as they play a lot with the German language (wortwitz). I think that's why they sometimes have to change the text to make sense.
I love this reaction, because your facial expressions is so fckn different, lol. Wonderful . You got the message very wrong though. Hugs from Sweden. 🤗
bro their shows are insane! first ever concert i went to was rammstein in 2012 when i was 12 and went to see them again in 2019 and holy shit its a whole different experience compared to anything else that i have seen! Legit legends!!
The lyrics are a play on wedding vows and on du hast / du hasst mich , translated as You hate me/ you have me. Their lyrics are heavy on wordplay and their shows are AWESOME !
Lex is right into it and Brad is bummed with no lyrics to dissect. Lol. Brad, if you want showmanship, energy and crowd participation then listen to BabyMetal Headbanger live or Catch me if you can. Just saying.

awwwww thats great :)
Well...if you are going to do this great band...may I suggest "Sonne"?
Live 2019 Multicam = Best Show
Also Bück Dich live aus Berlin.
Hell yes!
Or Amerika or Rosenrot
I'm thinking more Engel
Lex is so funny 😂😂😂 she's over there bouncing in her chair and Brad's trying to concentrate 🤣🤣👏👏👏
I love how Brad is sitting there processing what he’s looking at and Lex is bouncing and enjoying the beat.
Btw it’s not blood, it’s pyro gel so he doesn’t get burned from the fireworks.
Amazing how one band can have the French people singing in German love the unity
“Du haßt mich” means you hate me.
“Du hast mich” means you have me.
Both very similar sounding with very different translations.
“Haßt” also can be written as “hasst”
Isn't it meant to have a dubble meaning to it.
@@Lonkalive Yes, "you have me" and "you hate me" like it was already mentioned. These two words sound identical
@@Lonkalive Yes, at first "du hast mich" sounds like "you hate me" but when the lyrics continue to "du hast mich gefragt", it means "you asked me"
Hete’ what “Du hast” is all about according to Wikipedia:
The title Du hast is a play on words with the second person singular of haben and hassen. The content is about a marriage proposal that the lyrical I is initially undecided about accepting, but ultimately decides against, which becomes clear in the refrain:
"Will you till death do you part
Be faithful to her for all your days?
(Yes), No!
Will you till death do you part
Love her even in evil days?
(Yes), No!"
@Gavin Lisle please, if native speakers explain to you part of their language, maybe trust their opinion. The wordplay is so obvious that little children (german ones of course) grasp this concept intuitively.
If you are interested there is a video of little german kids reacting to rammstein and giving their thoughts and opinions (it's a pretty cute video and has subtitles).
The play works because of how the text only gradually expands its meaning(s).
When I met my husband he said he could die a happy man if he could see them in concert. Less than 2 weeks later I got an email from Phillips Arena in Atlanta that tickets were going on sale. We were 3 people behind the barricade at the front. I’m only 5’ so I saw NOTHING of the concert but I felt all the pyro and they put on a great show. This is the song that my husband would call their “poser” song.
My daughter Leigh has the rammers R tattooed on her on and the German flag colour inside it..
She has this thing that if some one say..ooh I like Rammstein.
She then asks them what their favourite song is, if they say du hast or sonne, she laughs and walks away and says it's Rammstein for beginners..
Pure metal head snobbery.😂
These guys should react to Liebe ist fur alle da, that tune kicks ass.
Or du riechst so gut, benzine, feuer Frei...that song live when they have the flame throwers attached to their heads is a sight to behold...🤘🤘🔥🔥🤘🤘
@@neillscott4192 I saw them in Washington DC in July 2001
Rammstein has members that are professionally certified in the use of pyrotechnics, so they can get away with fire and explosion effects in their shows that other bands wouldn't attempt for safety reasons. The result is some real crazy shows. My dad saw them years back. Said he was at least a few hundred feet from the stage and could still feel the heat of the pyrotechnics.
I love to see Lex are happy and go to rock.... (sorry for my bad english, but i`m from Germany and a litte bit older). I love to see that music (Rock) can make a smile on faces....
Du haste means you have, The song is about a girl wants to get married, and the man says no ,you have me
Lex is such a metal head 🤣, she's like oh I'm totally going to be playing this around the house🤣🤣
How high was my very first introduction to this song and honestly I picture everyone waking up to it with a blunt
Rammstein performances never dissapoint, they always have the craziest acts
Yeah, I guess you like watching the singer beating the guitarists on the ass with the strap on he's wearing, while he's bent over. Saw them once and when that shit started going on.... I gave up on them real quick.
@@thomasjr11111 something is wrong with you
@@thomasjr11111
Imagine being SO homophobic that you give up on a band because of a comedy stage act for one song... Then 25 years later you are watching reaction videos to the band and questioning the viewers on their sexuality.. Overcompensating for something?
The songs lame its 3 words repeated over and over the metal version of umbrella lmfao
@@oibabayaga9935 well that's your personal taste, at least you are not arguing with some homophobic arguments 😂 When I was younger, Du Hast was a boring song to me aswell. Now it's okay, maybe because I became a fan.
Rammstein is one of those bands... for me... that you can play the album from track 1 all the way through without skipping a single one. All they make are hits. And I've seen them live 3 times, no show is the same and they are three of the best live show's that I've ever been to.
Gojira, Killswitch engage and Parkway Drive are like that for me, but yes these guys are pretty solid too
You hate me = Du hasst mich
You have(got) me = Du hast mich
They playing with the sense, and its all about a wedding.
Du hast mich.
Years later maybe, Du hasst mich.
My usual language is German and i don't get at the first time too. ✌🏼
Was very fortunate that a friend of mine brought me to their show during their tour of the US in 2011, and holy shit, they have one of the greatest shows you could ever go see. Their set was a good 3 hours, and it was one of the greatest experiences i've had to this day.
😁❤️...i love the girl reactions!!...She must have been a rock girl in another life!!....😂✌️🤘
For real, I wanna find me a girl like that 😎😎
I never laughed so hard at your reaction before !! her reaction is priceless " oh when I work out I love that really dark metal , makes me feel so good and relaxed "
Him : looks at her and profusely starts looking for a bible or exorcism book
lol !! love you guys !! this video was priceless
I cant even imagine being unimpressed with this song. Brad wtf do you like lol
Facts.... She right, He a hater. haha
maybe if he saw the actual music video he would have reacted diffrerently, that shit is weird as hell
Don't confuse him any more than he already is! The guy is totally clueless.
externally composed an internally lit. Amazing you've just by yourself worked out what it means to be German
So excited!!!
Getting ready to see them in 4 days in Philly for my son's graduation gift 2 years ago since it's been RS twice before.
How was it?
@@harrypottah8889 awesome, watch the RUclips videos of it.
The song itself is about a person who has a choice: either friends or a beloved woman. And he chooses friends. In the chorus, they ask him: will you be faithful to her? Answer: No.))
9
no friends appear in the whole song. He just does not want to marry her.
I believe that's more the video rather than the song itself.
I love their music, but I think they hate women, so I stopped listening to them,. :(
@@jamesnylan you wrong)
I gotta suggest Mein Teil, Sonne, and Deutschland for future Rammstein reactions.
Engel is another one I really like.
Oh yes, Deutschland is amazing!!!!
Mutter is great as well.
Mein Herz Brennt also, either the original or the piano version. Personally I like the piano version a little better.
🤘🤘🤘
Why does it always seem like the girl is always having way much more fun!?!
It's just personality dynamics between two people that know each other well. I'm sure they are both having fun.
Lex wilds out its entertaining to watch
I think she is an old soul and she enjoys good music.
Because the frontman "Till Lindemann"is pretty hot here 🥰
Lol Brad is always sitting there trying to decipher the “meaning” in everything, and sometimes I feel like he just needs to not think so much and enjoy the music. Not everything has deep meaningful lyrics.
I love how Brad just sat there like he's seeing his frist donkey show
Lex really gets into every song, she feels it in her bones...
I love her passion and energy
This song loud is one of the best hype songs ever
in fact "du hast" is kind of a word game in german.
"du hast mich..." means "you have (asked) me"
and "du hasst mich" means "you hate me"
the thing is that both sounds exactly the same in german. So even in german you dont know what they mean as long as you hear just the first 3 words.
But with the fourth word (gefragt /asked) the meaning is clear.
Thanks for that info on "gefragt". Now it really makes sense.
Except the English version he says you you hate you hate me you hate me to say
@@johnbush5347 never heard the english version. Thank you. :)
@@TubetakerBHV it's on the same album as the original as well as an English version of Engel, neither are fully English , but there's enough to get the point across
@@johnbush5347 Yeah, it's a shame the wordplay gets lost in translation. Translating songs/lyrics is a nightmare when trying to keep all the features intact.
I just absolutely love how much energy and emotions she has during the video!
Lexi's energy in this is my vibe 😂🥰
Dude she looks like she’s having so much fun it makes me smile! Keep the excitement!
"Internally Lit" - one of the best summations ever.........
"Du hast" means "you have". "You hate" would be spelled "Du hasst".
Yes but this was done on purpose
People are chill at the show because this is probably one of the calmer songs. Iconic, but simple and very easy to enjoy and rock out to without expending energy
Lex gets it, Brad is bewildered 🤣
Lex fucking hell you get it. You get it all. Your excitement is so infectious about so many genres. I love it!
The song is a play on traditional German wedding vows. It's "Du Hast" = You Have, not "Du Hasst" = You Hate. It's right in the title of the song.
You, you have, you have me
You, you have, you have me
You, you have, you have me
You, you have, you have me
You, you have, you have me
You have me, you asked me
You asked me, you asked me and I said nothing
Do you want, until death separates you
To be faithful to her for all days
(Yes) No
(Yes) No
Do you want, until death, which would separate
To love her, even in bad days
(Yes) No
(Yes) No
You, you have, you have me
You, you have, you have me
You, you have, you have me
You have me, you asked me
You asked me, you asked me and I said nothing
Do you want, until death separates you
To be faithful to her for all days
(Yes) No
(Yes) No
Do you want, until death, which would separate
To love her, even in bad days
(Yes) No
(Yes) No
Do you want, until death separates you
To be faithful to her for all days
(Yes) No
(Yes) No
While this is true, it is also a word play on the difficulty of relationships. Love being neighbourg to hate, and all that.
I would translate this part:
Du hast mich gefragt, Du hast mich gefragt, Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab' nichts gesagt
You asked me You asked me, you asked me and I said nothing
More like this:
You have asked me, you have asked me, you have asked me and I have not replied.
Just becuase as an non english native, I think the "hast" needs to be translated as well and in my thinkin "you have asked me" is more logical than "you asked me".. x)
Other than that, great effort. I enjoy when someone puts some effort in their comments instead of just spamming "PLZ LISTEN TO X or X or X" (which I also sometimes am guilty) :D
That's not how the English version goes at all
@@johnbush5347 That's because it is completely different song. :)
Lex getting into it next to Brad’s being still and perplexed is great all in itself
Industrial metal at its finest!
Amazed you two are checking Rammstein out😊
I love the way Lex just immediately got into the song, singing Du Hast along 😂❤
I love how into it Lex is getting. Rammstein has been my favorite ever since my sister bought me sehnsucht with the matching album cover t shirt back in middle school for my birthday. Seeing someone hear them for the first time always puts a smile on my face. Like them or hate them, Rammstein is in their own league. You will never go to a show as awesome as a Rammstein show.
This song always reminds me of How High when Method Man uses it to wake up Redman.
Y’all need to do Soundgarden - Outshined
I enjoyed your reaction, especially the intuitive female version. She was so accurate to know that alot of fans (from the perspective of a 69 year old who saw alot of rock concerts in the 70's) that we are "cool" on the outside but freaking out on the inside. It was fun to watch her enthusiasm . I highly recommend Sonne with the Snow White video, so awesome.
The chillness is cathartic. A lot of people mistake metal or rock as people who are angry etc. But I’ve always found it to be relaxing and empowering in equal measure.
well, death metal is only way I can see is angry people ,because the genre speaks for itself. This is industrial metal, so to mix this with heavy or death metal where lets face it , a lot of songs are filled with hatred, angriness, killing etc....
I love you two!!! 💜 Brad analyzes and Lex just wants to rock!! Lol!!! 🧐🤣🥳😎
It's so fun watching your different reactions. One grooves, one analyzes. I feel connected to both as I do both.
"It's almost Cirque de Solei vibes to me"
Wait. WAIT.
...
You're for sure not wrong, I just need some time to process how right that is.
Brad you are a lucky man, Lex seems like an amazing woman. Plus she's cute as hell lol
Hahaha, the spontaneous reaction of Lex is so funny and impulsive, very sympathic! :P You could be also a catchy stage performancer!
Brad, it's Electro Metal, with High Energy rythm guitars and pumping techno beats, nothing to chill, but to flip out ^^
It is saying You have me. Singer Till Linderman is a professional pyrotechnician
I lost half of my eyebrows at their concert, totally worth it! Keep up, you crazy kids, lots of love from Europe! 💙
Lol😂
The whole sentence is "Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab' nichts gesagt." It is NOT "Du hasst" with double S which would in fact mean "You hate" but it does not. The whole sentence would be "You.. You have.. You've asked me.. You've asked me but I didn't answer."
Then why does the english version of the song say, "You hate me to say but I did not obey." ? It seems like the very artist seems to contradict what you are saying. Not saying you are wrong about the direct translation, but they seem to have a different opinion.
@@DarthPoyner Rammstein likes to contradict everything, but in this very context du Hasst would not make sense, and hast means have, hasst is hate, it's very basic German knowledge
@@DarthPoyner I am german my friend. It's true that sometimes there might be a different meaning in the same sentences, but this is clearly what they mean. Plus in the next part where he's doing the wedding vow (which is a question) and then answers "no" to it.
So please do not use literal or direct translation and trust me on this one as a german. It bothers me in almost every videos where they think it's "You hate". Like, if you do a little bit of work and translate the sentence as a whole you would get the right translation.
Even though I don't get why people add the second S in context if you try "du hast" no translator should result in you hate because it's just not the same word, there is missing the S. And to finish of my novel here (sorry for that) : grammar is very important in this case. in german "Du hast" is not considered a sentence and that means that the sentence itself only works and makes sense when completed. Much love from Germany share music share love my friends.
the rumor when I was in high school was that his intention was for it to be both at the same time. the song is about a bad relationship so he's playing off the german wedding vows and the phonetic similarities between hast and hasst. because it's a play of the wedding vows for the story I think it would have to be written as hast from an artistic stand point. he might be singing "you have" in the german version but my guess would be he's intending for it to be taken both ways for the majority of the song. also, are the sounds distinct enough to be able to tell which word it is without sentence structure for context??
@@AggressivelyLoving he literally says you hate me in the English version
A lot of metal is actually relaxing to me. I use to need it to sleep at night. Honestly I still do most nights. So I can definitely chill to it. Lol
Yes bro Metal is soothing I'm more of a Megadeth or Deliverance or Tourniquet guy .but this live version is great
@@alangary9893 Agreed brother. I'm more of a Metallica and Tool person but I definitely enjoy several other metal bands. System of a down, Static X, Godsmack, Slipknot etc. Love it bro
You hate is wrong, right is You have!
"Rammstein enables us to enjoy Germany in their pre-ideological state" - Slavoj Zizek
They are a German industrial metal band, they are great as you have seen 😁 all there shows are filled with pyrotechnics (one of the band members is a pyro-technician)
Brad: "So this is where I'm confused.. this is not a chill song, right?" meanwhile Lex is about bouncing through the ceiling right next to you 🤣🤣🤣 You two have such a great react channel, I love it so much!!
This my friends are LIVING LEGENDS!
Actually, the lyrics begin by saying "you hate me", but then cleverly become "you have asked me." Grammer be beautiful in all languages.
Du Hast means “You have” Du Hasst means “You hate”
Just gatta find something Brad likes lyrically and he’s a fan.
Try”Mein Hers Brent” ,”Mein Tiel”, “Sonne” or if you want to make him uncomfortable
“Mann Gegen Mann”
Mein Hers Brent is brilliant noise...... what's the one with the Scottish chick singing along.... Stirb Nicht Voor Mir? Anyway, awesome, transporting.....
I'm glad y'all got to enjoy this together. It's a classic.
Welcome to rammstein! They are the best performances live and it just gets better and creepy so keep reacting 😂😅 especially the live videos
Cracks me up that you have one of the happiest people in the world, getting excited singing “You. You hate. You hate me” 😂
Love your energy Lex, that why I subscribed😊
Best live shows ever, the band just goes insane with the pyros and lightshows. I don't even care for their music much, but I went on their concert just to experience the show and it was well worth it!
Rammstein are the founding fathers of what is called "Industrial Metal", it's Metal mixed up with electronic and especially techno music. They're very much a visual band as much for their crazy live shows with tones of pyro and various props than for their powerful and beautiful Music videos that are worth watching too!
They are heavily influenced by Laibach
@@armanbektasevic4369 They are industrial metal, but strictly speaking not at all the founding fathers - that honour arguably goes to Throbbing Gristle.. Ministry and White Zombie took up the baton (commercially at least), and there are a multitude of other bands. As Arman said Laibach were right there in the mix along with the likes of Godflesh, Killing Joke and Nitzer Ebb. Rammstein are fantastic, and I love them, but their biggest success is making industrial commercial and they are standing on the shoulders of giants.
@@armanbektasevic4369 wow, I just checked out their music, what a garbage, not even comparable to Rammstein.
@@Warmenlt you can find interview with the guys from Rammstein talking about who had influence on them, and Laibach is one of them, and you call them garbage it's ok, I call them avant garde. How many western bands you know off who played in North Corea?
@@armanbektasevic4369 did I argue the influence fact?
It’s a whole subgenre of metal called Industrial. There’s others like KMFDM, Ministry and even some of Rob Zombies earlier solo stuff. You’re right! It may not be something youd listen to around the house, unless you actually need to do some house work, or a good workout.
That’s the most emotion I have seen from Brad. Rammstein singer is licensed in pyrotechnics. The shiny “paint” he is wearing is a flame retardant material. This is one of the most badass concerts I have seen!!
Here in Finland we have this band called Ruoska. It's kinda like finlands own Rammstein.. Here is just few songs to listen.
-Tuonen viemää
-Alasin
-Liha vasten lihaa
-Pure minua
-Porttikielto taivaaseen
Externally lit.
Till Lindemann is one of the best front figures of all times.
Aweome! Clicked like a bullet!! Masters of heavy, crunchy riffs and live shows! I´ve seen them live once and it was the best live show I ever went to!
About the lyrics, they play a lot with double meanings in the german language. Du Hast can be "you hate" and "you have" and they play around that.
This is an absolutly one of a kind band, you gotta do more and always the live shows, you ain´t seen nothing yet! Anything from the Paris or Madison Square Garden live shows is epic! Try the beautiful "Engel" live in Madison Square Garden or the banger "Ich Tu Dir Weh" also live in Madison Square Garden! Also "Sonne" live in Paris is a blast! Please do more, you´ll be jumping around and rocking the trailer....at least Lex will for sure :)
"hast" is not "hate" it's a German modal verb like 'have'.
The lyrics are: "You. You have. You have asked. You have asked me a question. And I had said nothing."
But it does does sound like "hasst" - a form of the verb hassen which does mean hate. So at first you think it says "You. You hate. You hate me" but then the last couple of words reveal that it was "have" and not "hate".
And then the chorus is the actual question which is the ceremonial question the priest asks at a wedding sorta like "Do you want, until death, which would separate, to love her, even in bad days" And then a resounding answer: Nein! (No!).
I literally shiver when someone explains the lyrics wrong to you and it fucks up the entire experience. I mean, it's literally a song about asking someone about upholding the western style wedding vows. That's it.
if theres any band you gotta react to live, its Rammstein. Engel, Sonne, and Mein Teil are all good.
+1 to Engel
Engel effing kicks it!
Or the incredible Deutschland. I liked it when I heard it and once I saw the lyrics in England I loved it.
I’ve seen many bands live, nothing comes close to Rammstein live. It’s a complete performance!
Damn guys the education system has failed you.lol
Du Hast is one of the most uniquely structured songs I think I've ever heard. It really is a work of genius.
"It's cool." "I knew you'd hate it." Too funny.
Lol if you actually knew the translation. Hast means have hasst is hate . It is about Marriage. It means you have me . Goes on to vows do you promise to be loyal he says no . Lol
Then why does the english version of the song say, "You hate me to say but I did not obey." ? It seems like the very artist seems to contradict what you are saying. Not saying you are wrong about the direct translation, but they seem to have a different opinion.
@@DarthPoyner it is difficult to translate most of Ramstein s lyriks as they play a lot with the German language (wortwitz). I think that's why they sometimes have to change the text to make sense.
@@DarthPoyner it’s a double entendre.
@@DarthPoyner because the person who translated it is wrong . I am half German lol. Hasst is hate again , hast is have
Farther my other post i put the entire song in english
I love this reaction, because your facial expressions is so fckn different, lol. Wonderful . You got the message very wrong though. Hugs from Sweden. 🤗
bro their shows are insane! first ever concert i went to was rammstein in 2012 when i was 12 and went to see them again in 2019 and holy shit its a whole different experience compared to anything else that i have seen! Legit legends!!
Jeez, the black dude could care less, Lex loved it.
The lyrics are a play on wedding vows and on du hast / du hasst mich , translated as You hate me/ you have me. Their lyrics are heavy on wordplay and their shows are AWESOME !
Do Sonne! One of my favorite songs ever. Official video though so you can really hear the vocals
Lex is right into it and Brad is bummed with no lyrics to dissect. Lol.
Brad, if you want showmanship, energy and crowd participation then listen to BabyMetal Headbanger live or Catch me if you can.
Just saying.
Fuckin big hype.
Do Deutschland next - the video.
Every single reaction video I've watched on this (and it's been almost 2 dozen now) everyone has said "he's on a treadmill?" Awesome stuff!
The set does not need generators. The performers have all the power that's needed.
