I gotta say, this is my favorite song so far off of "ZEIT". So grateful to you all for showing my Rammstein. This band has really changed me for the better. So excited to share this experience with you all! Much love ❤
the black man, is the boogie man.. rammstein has always been a mix of fairy tales, poems, and real life.
that's awesome! yea Rammstein is my most favorite band been listening to them since I was a kid. everytime they come out with an album it's always a different sound and direction but has that Rammstein sound and every single album is just amazing and I think they always out do themselves. I love this whole entire album and I got to say this is one of my all time favorite songs by them. the instruments the layers, till's vocals, the meaning, the video and the clarity of the instruments and till's voice in this song and album is just on another level. I absolutely love this album.
Okay ich antworte about angst. This song is about imergerants to Africa to Germany. It's a anti - rassicm song. Other as you think. But first I think it's about children murderer but it sine 2015 fear has people on warzone search freedom and piece. 2 songs on rammstein are really good by new album Zeit. Ohne kondom and dicke titten.. It's a gut finally rammstein album, rammstein last album is perfect. The last step to pension., yes rammstein goes out of music business... Last tour, last album
Just stumbled on your channel the other day and i love it!
Thanks for doing this :)
I’d love if you’d react to “Schwarz”
One of the best Rammstein songs in my opinion.
Listen to Dicke Titten, Lugen and Adieu. My 3 favorite songs off the new album, so far!
Nearly 30 years and this band hasn’t stopped continuously putting out songs that are each better than the other.
@Necramonium yeah didn’t meant it as much as a literal time frame. Like like never dropping the ball in quality.
Wow! Almost 30?! And Till Lindemann looks just as good as he did back around 2001 when i first saw Till Lindemann in the movie XXX and at that time i didn't even know that they were an actual band...i thought they were just actors pretending to be a rock band and i remember thinking that they sound so good and damn that singer is hot!! Well later..i find out who they are etc etc etc and the rest is history. 😁💕
I know right? Wasn't expecting them to still deliver music that is THIS good after 30 years
@@peekaboosue yeah they formed back in 1994, such a long time I can’t believe it. I’ve been listening to them since 1997 when I first heard Sehnsucht. Till might even be hotter now all matured up and all that. He’ll always be hot to me. Ollie is still relatively young though. I think he was like 16 or 17 when he joined them.
I dont know why but i like there old songs way more. Zick Zack, Angst and Zeit are sounding the same. For me it feels like they are slowly dying.
As german, Rammstein are pure Art. Every single word is poetic. Strange: They are completle out of the mainstream.
And that's why we love them
@@Aragorndragon1 aye 👍🙌🏆💯🖤
at least in Germany. I moved from Belgium to Germany and I was so suprised I never hear Rammstein on the radio while in Belgium their song Deutschland was played every day for so long, number 1 hit when it got released. And then again when they played Brussels in 2019 for their tour, Deutschland was again on number 1 spot for so long.
Rammstein is quite mainstream, at least regarding "hard" music
@@meingutername2158 not in Germany lmao :) in 5 years of living here,not once have I heard one song at any radio -.o
"To explain the lyrics would be to take away the whole attraction and afterwards perhaps the fans would even be disappointed. I would rather leave things in this area untouched so that everyone can bring their own interpretation and their own feeling to it."
Quote by Till Lindemann
That's why they are so great. Art is when people get to think and interpret it.
Tlll doesn't write the lyrics
@@chrisgardiner2215 why do you think that?
@@chrisgardiner2215 If not him, then who? Please, tell us. (By the way, there is even a book of poems by Till on my bookshelf.)
@@chrisgardiner2215 What do you mean? Till Lindemann does write the lyrics..All 6 of them in one way or another decide on the lyrics and what makes it or doesn't make it...all 6 have to agree...so if Till writes lyrics to a song but 2 of them dont like it then Till will rewrite it until they do.
"their approach to songwriting, which consists of Lindemann writing and singing the lyrics over instrumental pieces the rest of the band have completed beforehand."
"During the recording of the songs for the Mutter Album...For one song, not known which, Till wrote 24 different lyrics before finally, everyone in the band agreed and it finally made it on the album"
So that means that they all have a say and they all contribute in the way a song finally comes out.
For ex. in the song "Spieluhr" Till had originally written in the lyrics that the child was going to die but the rest of the band members finally convinced to change the lyrics so that the child survives in the end.
Just some remarks:
The several times mentioned "Schwarze Mann" ("black man") is known as a child fright figure in the German-speaking area ("Wer hat Angst vorm Schwarzen Mann" = Who does fear the black man). Depending on the region and time, it was understood to mean different beings: a dark shadowy figure or a man dressed in black. As a metaphor, the "bogeyman" reached a "peak" as personalization of evil, savagery, and the unknown in the course of colonization, and in the process also acquired a racist connotation. In this context, I find the consumption of those sweets (German so-called "negro kisses") at the end during the end credits very interesting, which work through this "black man" symbolism.
Also the colors usage is interesting (Black/White/Red representing the Nazi-color Spectrum). I also found it interesting at the end of the credits that when the TV was destroyed, the color came back into the picture.
Further, I noticed that the pie-like plots seen from above correspond to the "political symbol" at the lectern where the singer, wearing a straitjacket, gives his speech. After these borders & plots collapse during the wild shoot-out, the politician, unleashed by the straitjacket to spread his propaganda/fear.
Cheering on the cheerleaders is the equivalent of pitching an idea/product and the dancers are slammed with money to sell the bricks and guns to the landowners.
This Clip has many layers and can be interpreted in many directions. I see there is a statement on xenophobia and populism/media
Nothing to add.
we used to play a game called "wer hat angst vorm schwarzen mann"(who fears the black man) in school. One person starts at the opposite side of a room and says the the name of the game, then everyone starts running and everyone who gets caught by the "black man" also starts on the opposite side in the next round
In sumary, it’s all about racism (american racism)
A negro kiss comes from the Netherlands and I have never heard of that they have that in Germany, 🤔, end Is a kind of marsmello with chocolate around it, and it's just a candy nothing more, 😱😁
@@bassieadriaan I know this old “product name” is not political correct, but that was the name of this sweet some decades ago. I don’t know today’s name that is used today
My favourite song from the album. Why? Because it perfectly reflects my new fucking reality. Oh yeah, greeting from Russia - the country where fear of Boogeymen rules now.
People's gone crazy echoing TV propaganda about strangers wanting to kill us. Fear which has been grown up by government, by decades of propaganda actually. And undereducated people really believe what crazy Father says.
Nothing's left here but hate, cruelty and fear. Fear of enemies and fear for lives of those who's against the war... I can't describe it. Rammstein did. Thanks them. Thank you for your reactions. And peace for all of us.
I am dismayed by the path Russia is taking. I am East German. Born in 1969. We studied Russian at school. Unfortunately I can only say a few words. Even as a child I loved Russian fairytale films and cartoons, such as "Rabbit and Wolf" (Ну, погоди!) or "The Humpbacked Horse" (Конёк-Горбунок). I worked with Russians here in Germany. Russians also work in my current company. I met Russian soldiers as a child. They were very kind to us. Gave us badges. I find it very sad what is happening right now. I am not an enemy of the Russian people. I only wish for peace between the peoples of the world. But at the moment there is a lot of hate being stirred up. I hope it will be over soon. Many people die every day because of the will of individuals who have stones in their chests.
Unfortunately, no one cared about the deaths of 8 years from the military of Ukraine. Now the whole world is listening to only one point of view.
@@nihil433 are you talking about the deaths of SEPERATISTS and PROXY soldiers... being controlled by Putler ?? those deaths ??
@@fonkyman, I'm talking about the death of 14k civilians.
@@nihil433 you literally have a russian here which himselfs states the News and the reasons for the war are bullshit anf you still try to defend Putin for some facts that arent even investigatet properly. Srsly some people
I don't understand why people feel that Rammstein needs to be compared to Rammstein 20 Years ago. I appreciate firstly that today we have Rammstein in our lives...they are by far one of the most Original, Unique and Exceptional Talented bunch of Musicians and I'm truly Grateful for everything that they have given me over the Years...and Hope and Pray 🙏
I Get More ❤️
I’ll compare them to themselves 20 years ago. On Mutter, they did Links 2 3 4 which in the same vein as Angst is aligning them against the nationalist movement.
Except Links is about them. Angst is about the world. Rammstein evolves and they just keep making bloody bangers. What a song.
I cannot believe how great this album is. People’s tastes change, of course, but they continue to be top-notch and more relevant now than ever.
Because the ideas are missing and the Lyrics are bad and boring.
@@loltimno *kotz
@@felidae6649 You say, clearly against the opinion of just about everyone else. You can have an opinion and you’re entitled to it. I won’t argue the opinion you have, but I will point out the popularity of the album and this song, the clear message it’s putting out, and the clear understanding people are getting from that message. You just need to check out the youtubers reacting and the comments under it to clearly and easily see your opinion is not ever registering as a proportion on the total reaction.
But it’s you’re opinion, and you can have it.
more than 20 years. they sound the same but new. i a totally with y7ou
Flake sampling the Icelandic viking clap that they use for sports (soccer in particular) in the intro and for the rhythm is a pure stroke of genius. Long live Flake
The sounders supporters group do the same clap, it’s chilling how the noise just stops between claps but I love it.
I love how creative and straight forward this band is .
It's funny because your description sounds like it should be an oxymoron but it's not. Highly accurate. They take really basic riffs and songwriting and make them hit like an actual ton of bricks while giving you mind-blowing visuals and a consistently unique vocal performance. No other band like Rammstein.
Amazing song ❤🔥
The new Rammstein album is an absolute masterpiece, all the songs are wonderful poems. Time passes but Rammstein always remain the best ❤
The shots in this video where the cheerleaders "hammers" to the beat give me goosebumps. It's so freaking good!
Makes me wish there was a whole version of the video just with the cheerleader choreo.
I'm not a Rammstein fan, but I really felt this song in every fiber of my being. So much truth so frighteningly staged. At least now Rammstein got me too. Thank you for your great reaction. It's obvious that you felt this song hard too. Music always conveys a message.
Wollen wir das mal ändern.Ich hätte da noch ein paar schöne Außenseiterlieder für dich. Donaukinder, Nebel , Amour ,Adios , Reise Reise von Nortal Neis, Spieluhr, Los , Donaukinder Cover von Monsoon, und von dem neuen Album natürlich Zeit und Adieu. Am besten vorher und währenddessen schöne gekühlte Krombacher zischen. Und kontinuierlich die Schlachzahl erhöhen Prost! And Volume up, is klar.
@Michael : Vielen Dank für deine Tipps. Ich habe mich die letzten Wochen mal an ein paar Rammstein Alben gewagt. Leider haben mir die von dir aufgezählten Perlen überhaupt nicht zugesagt. :( Dafür habe ich andere Tracks gefunden die mir sehr gefallen haben z.b. keine Lust, Zwitter oder Moskau. Vom neuen Album gefallen mir auch einige. Mal sehen, Fan bin ich immernoch nicht, aber ich habe Rammstein zumindest auf meinem Radar. ;)
@@chriskosczor4153 Kein Problem, mir gefallen (nicht nur)eher die ruhigen Lieder. Wo ich gestern beim Bier nicht genug von kriegen konnte war von letsfets /Worte der Freiheit ( Onkelz). Das Video zu dem Lied ist eine schöne Interpretation des Textes. Ist aber auch schon älter , passt aber in der heutigen Zeit wie die Faust auf's Auge . Bestimmt 7-8 mal gehört. Oh , Anoana von Heilung ist auch ganz was Feines.
The meaning of this song is really deep and I actually love how direct they are with these lyrics. The "black man" is sort of a word play because it is both a german synonym for "boogie man" but in the context of this song it can also be understood literally. Germany and Europe in general have seen large amounts of refugees in recent years which sadly led to a lot of racism in the media and in politics. Many politicians used fear of foreigners to profit in elections and I really like how they portrayed that in this video.
The whole message and video were really strong but I also LOVE the music, especially that last bridge with Till's ragin voice. I am so happy that Rammstein just never get old and that their music keeps evolving without dropping their main sound
The german word for boogie man literally translating to black man can be taken literally beyond the context of this song. It's not a coincidence, this usage of the term is absolutely rooted in racism. Even if many people (children) probably use it without actively thinking about it. Which is what I think Rammstein wants to draw attention to in this song by using the term in this way.
i think this song has a more direct reading. they are portraying the word state as today with a more detailed look at europe. the racism and rise of the extremes right parties; the closure of the borders; the resume of the arms race... what really strikes me is how everything is allowed through the cheerleaders, a notorious usa symbol, and how they fit perfectly in the video like they are there but cannot really notice them or pay attention to them. you just don't think about it until you start writing; after all why cheerleaders would be present to a politc speech, sell bricks and weapons ? i think the main characters of this video are the cheerleaders, after all everything that happens woudn't happen without their actions.
@@UmeII "Der schwarze Mann" was death itself, later it became the "bad guy" in black clothes. there is nothing racist about it.
Brobably that's also party what they are talking about in that song? After all, the game is usually called "Wer hat Angst vorm bösen Mann" nowadays, because people are afraid of using that term? who knows.
@@mibsoft8690 in the context of the song, it also has the racist connotations, seeing as in the west everyone nowadays is afraid of saying black, and that message is pushed through the media, brainwashing everyone to be afraid of doing anything to black people, exactly as the video of the song shows. I mean, you said it yourself, they even changed the name of a kids game, because it might sounds racist.
@@mibsoft8690 Pay attention on what they eat at the end of the video...recently forced to change name (negerzoen) in Holland. reason: racist.
Rammstein. another fucking level. I think this song can comortably sit in their top 10 ever and they have many top 10s so it doesnt come easy.
Rammstein is pure art.
Seit 20 Jahren bin ich Rammstein Fan und es hat genauso lange gedauert bis die Menschen gemerkt haben wie tiefgründig und verdammt gut diese Band ist. Super Reaktion von dir weiter so 👏👍
Und dann erzählt man ihnen, dass Lindemann Dichter ist. Das ist quasi ein Schalter, der den Menschen zeigt, dass die Texte von Rammstein nicht nur bedeutungsvoll sondern auch speziell sind. Alleine die Wortwahl der Texte ist, meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach, sehr gehoben.
Finally. One of the few reactions i'm really looking forward to.
This is my album of the year for sure. Though I am 21 years into my love of Rammstein so they will always hold a special place in my heart.
people are saying that Rammstein is not the same, that they have lost their grip. That Mutter was a peak album. That since Liebe Ist Für Alle Da they have lost their sound. They are too experimental. But I really like the previous 2 albums. I mean 2019 and 2022 albums. And 2009 album is good if you give it several listenings
For me there isn’t an album I don’t like that Rammstein has put out. It might be the only band that there isn’t an album I dislike.
Yes....several listening is important
@@vilianavasileva8213 indeed
They added so much depth to their songs i think.
Well, I do think they peaked with Sensucht/Mutter. HOWEVER, it's not like really dropped off either, they still write kickass stuff. I thought Liebe was their best album since Mutter (about as good as Reise, Reise) and while I wasn't too keen on their S/T, this album has me hooked.
When they were shooting at the screens, they were actually watching their neighbors. You can see them installing surveillance cameras on top of the walls, facing each other (interestingly, the cameras are also connected with red wire). So i think they were scared of their neighbors because on the screen they could see them with guns. Also, the cheerleaders in the background cheering them on while shooting in my opinion supports the theory that the government wanted this to happen. The people are supposed to be scared of each other, as a measure of control.
Been a fan from the beginning. The album Zeit is a master piece. Angst is a fantastic song, but for some reason Zeit is one of my favourite songs of all time. I really love the lyrics in this song and the arrangement of the music 🎶🤗 Love your reactions to Rammstein songs 💕 Thank you
You're absolutely right about the "bogey man" equivalent, however, it's kind of a double meaning in general. Historically, it was a saying while playing hide and seek. The seeker would say: "Who is afraid of the black man!" The hiders would answer: "No one!" Then the seeker would ask: "And if he comes for you?" And then the hiders would answer: "Then we are running away!" and this was the start of playing hide and seek for children.
Historically speaking, the "black man" might really have referred to the grim reaper, however, after the short colonial era of the German Reich and especially nowadays there is a different connotation. That's why you would normally not hear this expression anymore, at least very seldom.
One of the things that might slip into the double meaning is the fact that the band members eat Dickmann's at the end of the video. In Germany, Dickmann's has always been called "Negerküsse", which translates to the N-word and then "kisses". Up until the late 2000s, there wasn't really any other name for it. So a couple of years ago, Dickmann's ceased calling them in this racist way and they found different expressions for their product. However, conservatists and people from the far-right are still nuts about this and try to call them with this old rather racist name whenever possible in order to trigger those "leftist snowflakes".
For a German, it's pretty apparent to me, especially with the refugees in the video, that most of it targets certain right wing movements within Germany. The right wing movement had a lot of success in the years between 2015 and 2018 due to the larger number of Syrian refugees coming to Germany. A far-right party named AfD ("Alternative für Deutschland"), formerly a 4%-party, got into the Bundestag in 2017 with 12.6%, mainly because of their anti-refugee policy which was presented with all types of fear-induced scenarios ("refugees are rapists", "refugees are terrorists", etc.).
Apart from the fact that art is always subject to personal interpretation and that there is no "right" or "wrong" interpretation, as a German there are some motives in here that are easily recognizable from our own zeitgeist.
Very good comment. Well written.
Thanks. Perfect explanation. When I was a child, I always thought, that the "black man" in that hide and seek game was meant to be a chimney sweeper because they wore black. Years later I understood that it was a f****ing racist term about skin colour. I also assume that the lyrics are about refugees and the "Angst" that right wing ass***** create around them to gain power.
I totaly agree with your interpretation
You are pretty close in your obervations, except one thing: this song/video is about AMERICAN RACISM, end of story. The smiling cheerleaders coming along with both wall bricks and aussult guns is the #1 key here ! I can swear to god, that Till wrote this song while the Floyd riots went on in the USA, nearly 2 years ago. You’ll see that clearly, when you look really hard for all the details…
@@OleBjrnHammer I disagree.
I knew you would love this one!!! So happy that you understood and appreciated all of the symbolism in this video. The breakdown in this song is sick. Two areas I interpreted differently (and that’s the beauty of Rammstein; there are so many ways you can interpret their music): 1- in the breakdown where they start shooting the tv’s; if you notice, you’ll see that each of their cameras is pointed toward their neighbor, and you’ll catch on Paul’s tv that he sees Richard with his gun. My interpretation there is each of them is so fearful that they turn on each other, so them shooting the tv’s is them attacking each other, essentially. 2- at the end where Till destroys the tv and the color comes back; I interpreted that to be them deciding to stop listening to the propaganda being fed to them (whether it be by the media, government, whatever). So, each time he hits the tv a little bit of color comes back, like the fog is being lifted and they are able to see clearly again and not be brainwashed with whatever was being fed to them. Very poignant video. Absolute masterpiece. Looking forward to your other reactions (please do Lügen!!!). 😁 You da bomb, keep doing your thing.
I love, love, love your reaction! I had almost the exact same feelings you had when I watched the premiere. I'm here for all of your journey through Rammstein and love how well you understand them 🖤
Noticed that the guys came back into colour once Till broke the tv set (End credits).... Nicely done. 👍
The messaging visuals are awesome.
And that goes in all there music videos. True Artist's 👏
Think the world is waking up anyway. We have been programmed and condition for way too long.
Yes! Thank you!
Yeah man. It's like, get off the screen and just chill with other humans, it's better.
But you also See that He is not leaving his "circle" and is sitting again with the others. For me its like He did Not want to See the other Problems in the World because He is also frightend about it and dont want to Do anything against it. (Sorry for my english, i am german 😉)
@@christophwahl5031 same
Also, the colours got brighter every time Till hit the TV with the mower. So good.
This scary Till's vocals that you heard at the end of the song can also be heard on the song Puppe from the 2019 album, and there's a lot more of it and it's just unreal, like the whole song and the words
That was my immediate response when I first heard it, it was very reminiscent of Puppe
Giftig and Lügen have ‘Puppe’ feeling for me. I hope they make videos for them, too
As a guitarist, I love hearing what they do with their guitars, Rammstein has some of the most unique guitar sounds/chug rythyms in heavy metal in my opinion.
😀 album of the year😀 this is really album of the year. every song sooo good. and angst is an absolutely banger. the video is wow. i was speechless for minutes at the premiere. greetings from rammstein-land 😂

Greetings from Germany :)
"Wow". That was my first reaction to this video. I was BLOWN AWAY. You're going to have a GREAT time at their show. I saw them in 2012 and I'm still feeling the BURN. 🔥🤘
What I found interesting about this song is, it's basically an expansion to Nightwish's "Noise". In art-style and message. Gives me the chills watching both consecutively.
This album is pure art from start to finish and can listen to it all day without getting tired of it. Do enjoy your Rammstein concert as I have seen them live and they’re pure art in person❤
It's a real delight to see you so emotional. The power of this song is pure magic!
I tottaly recommend you to listen to ZAZ - Le jardin des larmes feat. Till Lindemann . It is a duet of Till from Rammstein and a french singer ZAZ. Simply beautiful.
Absolutely! An amazingly beautiful and yet such an emotional song! You do have to see this one!
So much!
+++++++++
It really is and I like cuz I speak french too
you are truly one of the most intelligent youtubers who responds to music, you really capture the deeper meaning in the lyrics and in the visual. even thought I was reasonably unobservant, but in this area you are clearly far ahead of everyone else. thank you for your sharpness and ability to decipher text and music
Rammstein holds up a mirror to society and thus demands a reaction. This can be repulsively repugnant or also perceived positively. Make look, many also look away, just like in real life. - THX for your great reaction
Rammstein are just political mainstream idiots.
The video is amazing. I like going to different reaction channels to see their reactions and interpretations of this multilayered complex very relevant social commentary in a banger rock song.
I haven't seen anyone else say this, but I was utterly fascinated watching the honest unfiltered raw emotions play across your face. You were showing genuine horror, disgust, empathy and admiration for the meanings & message here that moved me as much as the song did.
You win. I subscribed immediately & I am going to check out more Rammstein videos because of your epic reaction here. You are fantastic. Keep up the great work. (and if you don't mind a request, more Devin Townsend reactions, please!)
Wow this comment made my day! You are so incredibly kind thank you for taking the time to write this ❤️
@@AileenSenpai Bless you for your lovely response. That made me happy. I neglected to say earlier that I saved many of your vids to my "watch later" & I am going through the Tool ones now.
I am very impressed by the excellent comments you make. They are very insightful & smart and have a lot more substance than most reaction videos I have seen. You have an amazing empathic rare old soul that is very wise and beautiful inside and out. (sorry if that is too much)
I felt I had to say it to say this: I can tell you without a doubt that once you go fully go down the Devin Townsend rabbit hole, you will be astounded at how similar & in sync your spirits are.
To prove that, please do the actual video, (not the performances) of "Spirits Will Collide" & "Stormbender", then get back to me. I predict you will cry at how beautiful and perfect they are & how they make you feel. And that's still just the tip of a huge iceberg.
Sorry I went on there, but I was impressed that I should. Many blessings and hugs!
@@lananiella oh absolutely I will! Devin is such a rare talent I would love to see more of him! Also I appreciate your kindness. Thank you for writing this all out. It was really nice to hear and made my whole week!
You have the greatest Rammstein reaction videos! So awesome you'll be seeing them live this year! I'm going for my second time when they come to my area!
Zeit made me cry. Zick Zack made me smirk. Angst made me shiver.Talking about theatrics and intensity...damn. They´ve already set such a high bar in their history and yet here they come outdoing themselves again. Your reaction says it all...
7:59 That visual is much more benigng than you thought, It's kinda like fear eating itself in the end. It's a positive message, the people have woken up finally
For sure the album of the year. And I can't wait either too go to their concert i Hamburg. Thank you for your, always, amazing reaction
I'm already here for this! You know how excited I am for your reaction ❤️
Thank you, Steve 😭❤️
The return of colour was so powerful. I took the Black and White as a symbol of the polarisation of society.
When Till destroys the TV the colour slowly returns to symbolise how there are more shades and areas where community can come togther even when they have differences of opionions on topics.
When the clock counted time to zero on a premier, my heart was beating so fast.
„Schwarzer Mann“ has two meanings here. On the one hand it is the bogeyman, the unknown fear that is conveyed to us from the outside via the media and propaganda. On the other hand, the unfounded fear of black men as foreigners is also meant. Love it!!
and, while there are some german stereotypes played on, there are no cheerleaders in Germany. America does have a lot of them....
I agree. The double meaning is very strong, as is the nuclear family/cheerleader imagery, and I think it is as much a comment on the racial divide in the USA as it is about a 'boogyman' scaring children.
If you know Ramstein, you know.
it can also mean a man in black clothes (and no skin and flesh on the bones)
Absolutely.. I felt exactly the same. Album of the Year. Angst and Zeit are incredible pieces of art.
So much Power. So much emotion. So many layers of „truth“
First of all, i love your reaction Videos so mutch. The words you choose and how you choose them. Absolutely great. You explain the videos with devotion and such a great voice, please keep it up and gladly more of many great Rammstein songs. "ANGST", what a board this title and politically as well as socially more topical than ever #noWar. Since you like listening to Rammstein while playing sports, do so with this title. It makes you 20% better, that's how I feel anyway, incredibly good and motivating.
Thank you so much! You are so very kind ❤️ I have noticed my gym sessions improved so much while listening to Rammstein. ❤️
I would say In German "Stark" means Strong... With the title you can only go through with it and win. Glad to hear and I think many others too that you enjoy German "Metal" so much 💪. Warm greetings from Germany
I just love your reactions! You nail it, always! 👍👍👍
Once again a masterful review Aileen. Rammstein have once again proven they have no peers (except maybe Nightwish). Yes their style may have changed, but they have been around for a very long time and to remain relevant change is required. With the skill they possess, we really are experiencing a golden era and there is not enough publicity for this impressive band. Nothing changes as new listeners always are stunned by the sheer power and theatrics regardless of album.
It would appear that they may not come to Australia which is very sad and we are incredibly envious of the other countries. We know everyone who gets to see them are in for an experience of a lifetime.
Please keep reviewing and a review of the concert that you are going of possibly the most exciting band of our time. Thank you
They better come back down under. Been a fan since ‘97. Saw them in ‘01 (Sydney and Melbourne) and waiting patiently. Lol
Agree with all your comments above also.
I can just imagine the Viking clap will register on richter scales when they play this song in big stadiums! Been a fan from the 90´s and i honestly think this is their best album. Im totally blown away by it.
This is Ramstein ! Lyrics and Video !!! best Band ever !!!
This is the best reaction I have seen on this song!! I love your eye and feel - your conclusions! Have fun at the concert! 🙂
Tomorrow is too far away.
hehe I promise this one is worth the wait 🤗
@@AileenSenpai oh I know it will be. Love this song. Love the video. Love the album. Excited to see your reaction.
Thanks for all your superb reactions! Great analysis on Angst.
Thank you too!
In live you will not only see Ramstein, you will feel them. Enjoy every moment. Love to see youre reactions, because they are pure and emotional. Greetings from Germany.
I’ve seen many of their shows since the late 90’s. Every time it’s a great show. When they play Feuer frei, no matter where I’m at I can feel the heat from the flames.
That was remarkable. Really the best I've heard from them in awhile, just my opinion, and the video is really powerful. The world has gone completely mad, I'm glad someone has the guts to comment on it
Great reaction!
so true, the world has gone completly mad, more than ever in the last two years... and it's getting crazier and crazier
I think the most common interpretation of Angst is that it is a song about xenophobia. In the video the characters are building walls out of fear, arming themselves out of fear, and destroying what they have out of fear.
And eventually, even the demagogue TV is shot to pieces by the all-devouring paranoia, leaving just a black hole of nothing.
It's also my favorite of the 3 new songs I've listen (didn't hear the album for the moment) but lots of symbolism in this video as usual with Rammstein. They are very critical against the modern media, society and world but I need to rewatch the clip to find small details. The sound is also incredible, Till's voice goes in the same incredible range of the Puppe song on the previous album and it's so impressive when he sing with this voice. Can't wait to see them live for the first time this summer and I hope this song will be on the setlist. I hope you will continue to discover some of the old Rammstein's videos and songs, there's also a lot to think about it. From Europe, with love, thanks for your smile, keep the amazing content
One of Rammstein dopest tracks for sure every record they have dropped has been 🔥🔥🔥
That song is my favorite on the album and to see you react to it when I love your reactions is just wonderful. I love it!
You should listen to the Rammstein song "Puppe".
Its so heavy.... 😱
I think that Rammstein always had an almost perfect sound but with this work he reached perfection, without a doubt. almost as perfect as you 😍
This is the first video I watch from you and I already love your reactions and the reflects you do in the meantime 😁. Rammstein are so good and I am a super big fan of their music!!
If you haven't reacted to Puppe yet then you really shoud check it out. Tills' vocals are very similar as in the end of this video!
Do Puppe!! That one has some really INTENSE Till vocals!
The best experience is when you hear Puppe for the first time as a CD version.
First time I heard Puppe was when I went to Rock am Ring and a friend played it on his stereo. I literally got jumpscared once Till went ham 😂 love that song!
This is a masterpiece!!! The first time i heard this song i got pretty emotional and had to take a break .But now I just cant get enough of this song .
I also love your reactions a lot because you speak from your heart and dont hide your emotions I really enjoy watching your videos.
Can’t wait to see Rammstein in Minneapolis, been waiting 3 years for this show and it’s finally happening!
🔥🤟🏻😈🤟🏻🔥
"Schwarzer Mann" is usually translated to Boogeyman, youre right about that, but in the context of the song and video its more likely a play on words, actually meaning "the black" man instead of the usual translation. Could also be a placeholder for every fear media wants us to be hyped up about.
This album is Top for me. İt's just " Meisterwerk "
I have watched sooo many rammstein reactions so far and this was by far my favorite one.
I myself am from Germany and have heard this song already tma couple of times and haven't even seen and a bit of what you've analyzed and I'm really amazed by your intelligence.
Very beautiful and smart.
Please stay who you are
Rammstein was always great at making music as well as giving people something to think about. Music like that is so needed in modern world.
Thank you for the great reaction video.
Heard the album today and my personal Highlights are “Zeit”, “Zick Zack”, “Angst”, “Giftig”. But “Schwarz”, “Dicke Titten” and “OK” are good songs. Better than the last album but not as good as “Mutter” the best album so far in my opinion. It’s equal to “Reise, Reise” a great album too.
Stell dir ein Video zu OK oder DICKE TITTEN vor.Der Skandal wäre Perfekt ! :)
I really love the new album! Nearly every song is a masterpiece. They experimented with new things and just did it right.
Wow. Loved this video and Im glad you spoke the minds of most of us who feel exactly the same as for what the video meant. BRILLIANT
I love that you love Rammstein! Frigging awesome, aren't they? Insanely talented and expressive and insightful, with a sound and visuals that can make a dead soul feel something. So good. And, you are an absolute doll.
Best song from the album and surely one of my favourites ever. Video is great aswell
love Rammsteins New Album, this Song is so great! and you can perfectly see how America detoriated into madness and fear-mongering these last years, now people are shooting at kids for playing hide-and-seek or knocking on the wrong door by accident, its horrifying
I'll be traveling to San Antonio, TX to see Rammstein! Can't wait! Enjoy this tour whoever gets to go.
Thank you for sharing these reactions and your feelings. I very much appreciate it.
You're certainly right when it comes to the origin of the word "schwarzer Mann" (German Boogeyman), but as this meaning was lost, many associate it with the literal color of the skin nowadays. That's the reason why the children's game of the same name (it’s basically playing catch) is not played anymore at schools (or at least not called this way). As this is common knowledge in Germany, Till used "schwarzer Mann" in his lyrics literally as part of his criticism towards narrow-minded people who are afraid of foreigners (or at least people who don't look caucasian). The video underlines the meaning of the lyrics. It becomes even clearer when you take into consideration what the band is actually eating in the video. At the end it's a sweet called "chocolate kiss" in Germany but it used to be called "n***o kiss". There was a whole debate about it if it's alright to say it or not while it was obviously always racist. I also think that they have so-called "Zigeuner (gipsy)-Schnitzel" on their plates. Also a word that isn't used anymore but it was the same debate as with the sweets at the end.
All in all, the word "schwarzer Mann" was used deliberately by Till because it fits the narrative of the song.
I love this entire album and I have been a fan since Herzeleid. What I got from this video and song is both the Bogeyman reference as a metaphor in this for Otherism, but also literally afraid of The Black Man, as well as leaning heavily into disdain for the working class (the chimney sweep reference to the Schwarzen Mann mentioned in another comment ). The cheerleaders seem to be the support for government and social propaganda, which as an American, rings very heavily here. Fear of the neighbor, the pushing of violence and isolationism, how they shoot their TV's and then it brings them to a hell-like space. I had to laugh when Till was propped up in front of a podium in a straight jacket by said cheerleaders, again as an American, and plugged into the propaganda machine. The refugee mother and child surrounded by razor wire watching Rammstein watching them and eating a sweet which had a very questionable name into the 00's in some areas. How, as Till destroys the method of delivery (the TV), the color progressively goes from b&w to technicolor to full color spectrum ..
Every time I watch this, I see something new. Rammstein never fails to render me speechless.
Super excited to see them this year too! I have tickets to the San Antonio show and this will be my first time to see them live. So pumped!
I think the scene at the end where Till is smashing the TV and the scene stops being monochrome means that in the media everything is pictured as either black or white, right or wrong, good or bad, left or right. You are either for or against something while in reality there are so many different nuances to everything.
Uma pena não ter legendas no vídeo. Sou brasileiro e não falo inglês... Gostei muito da forte mensagem que esta música carrega e realmente temos que nos atentarmos sobre essas questões. Sou neto de um alemão com uma afro brasileira e isso significa muito pra mim
A song about media propaganda through the internet and its effect This is another song into which everyone can interpret what they want. Some see it as a reference to the US (cheerleaders, typical US suburban middle class, in golf club dress, mowing the lawn, barbeque and quick unlimited access to guns.
Some on internet conspiracy theorists.
Some on Nazis, because of the colour scheme.
Others to Orwell's 1984 because of the aesthetics of the video.
Probably also a good metaphor for the conspiracy theme, everyone sees what they want to see.
There are also allusions to racism, refugees from Africa and the Middle East, illegal immigration from South America, Trump, storming the Capitol, George Floyd, politically correct language and the ambiguous German term der Schwarze Mann (the black man) from the children's game.
This term was originally coined from the Black Death
the plague in Europe in the Middle Ages which one should not get too close to as a warning for one's life.
To put it briefly with a famous Rammstein Song in this video:
We're all living in America....so it's just the normal madness.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. As all of your reactions. Rammstein‘s Angst is a work of art.
What a brilliant song!!!!...This band just blows me away every time...your reaction is priceless...seeing how emotional the song made you and how you analyzed it was truly incredible....I saw them in Holland 8 years ago and it was by far the best concert I've ever seen....I would love to see your face at the show...you are definitely in for a life changing experience...I too am going to see them in Texas...can't wait 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Rammstein is only getting better, imo. Till's song writing as of the past album and this newest one has gone leaps and bounds over anything he's written previously. And the band's sound has become more intellectual and refined.
I really appreciate that you took the time to review the lyrics before commenting. "Black Man" is easily misunderstood without knowing the meaning in german. It is what they are playing with. Easy to be misunderstood in the direct translation. Boogeyman is the direct translation. But coold be easily misunderstood as an race motivated meaning. I really look forward for your future reaction videos.
I’ve listened to every song on every album they are by far my favourite band but this song in particular hits a spot none others do the meaning and interpretation is impeccably impeccable
im so proud they used our icelandic viking clap. i saw the here in iceland few years ago. they have been my fav since 2001
Hallo Aileen,
thanks for your Rammstein reactions. I am German and I think this song is about the fear of Europeans of refugees from Africa. This fear is driven by the media, news etc. Very interesting is the end scene. The members are eating sweets that had a racist meaning. in former times these things were called "Mohrenkopf" or "Negerkuss". So they are eating a black mans head while seeing people from Africa sitting in a camp, maybe after they have crossed the sea to come to Europe.
Schwarzer Mann has a double meaning here (of course... it's Rammstein).
Black man or bogey man? As a german, i think the intention is BOTH. Of course the bogeyman, but also picking up the fear of the Europeans from all that african refugees that may come to disturb us here in our fine, self-pleasing life with more than enough to eat, to drink, to amuse....so putting up more and more barricades, armor, even at last killing - maybe each other because of FEAR. Fear leads to violence....
i love that you are actually analyzing the Video, it deserves it. thanks for that, this has been really interesting for I understood it a little differently - nice to see a different point of view.
Loving your channel right now...this is one of my favourites on the album (AOTY for me so far)...everytime I watch this video I notice new things...the clip you describe is spot on and I also noticed the security camera's be put on in place also have red wires attached... highlighting the government is watching (boogyman) ☺️ keep up the great work...one of the best reaction channels I've come across... ☺️👍
I think the thing most frightening about this video, is that it does not exclusively apply to germany. The right wing has got us frightened all over the world, and they're seizing power.
I like the chanting of "du" through-out the whole song. Implying that you are your own bogeymen at the end of the day.
Wow! Love your reaction. I have similar feelings about the video and song and every time I watch the video it gets better. Rammstein is the best.
Stumbled upon your channel. Awesome videos. I watch them while doing cardio. And I see you’re a ghost ambassador! Will definitely start using your code!
