Hey, that was great! Feeling B was quite big in the GDR. The guy just yelling in the mic and the music being weird and not very good - that's the epitome of punk music! :D Yes, Aljosha was severly wasted at every gig, that's one reason why Schneider left the band for some time, he was so fed up! The last gig from Feeling B that you saw here was aat Steinbrücken festival 1994, where Rammstein also had their first appearance - so Paul, Flake and Schneider were on stage with both bands at that festival. Aljosha later tried to continue Feeling B with other people but it didn't really work out. He got pretty weird later on and sadly died in the year '00 I think. You witnessed the infamous Fleisch Tier incident 😂 Richard growling Fleisch Fleisch Tier Fleisch in the mic during soundcheck - the other guys look so annoyed 😅 From a quick glance, you wouldn't think that Paul is really a driving force in the band and not just the funny guitarist. Actually he has such strong opinions that neither Schneider nor Flake wanted to be in a band with him again in the beginning (but as we see they still did). You should also watch the 'Rammstein in Amerika' documentary it's really interesting 😊 Greetings from Germany and Happy Birthday to Paul!
It was very refreshing to see this documentary again. Well do not forget that Flake was 16 as he joined Feeling B and Paul was 18. The founder Rompe was in his 30th. Flake wrote in his book "Der Tastenf*cker" (He really called that book like that and in English it would be "the Keyboard-F......") that Rompe was attacked to Alcohol, but at the beginning both did not realise it. My "observation" from the informations I found, I thought that he might have been also unsatisfied with something. Feeling B was not so unknown in the GDR and well it was strict. They had to play in front of a committee before they got a licence to go on stage official. Only if you would have studied it, you did not had to do it, all others had to go through that kind of exam and if they would have not liked it, they would have been in bog trouble, or better, they would have been not allowed to play. Hard work, loving his work, dedication and many more get's to this. Richard is jacked, because he also was once a Wrestler. So, I would never start a fight with him, because you might not know, which "moves" he still might do, when he has do defend himself. You can see this part of him in the music video "Mein Teil". Further than that, thanks for your reaction and enjoy your weekend and also Happy birthday to Paul Landers. ❤
@@xsezz Sorry, it should be addicted, but I hoped you guessed it. As soon as I have one wrong latter in, it changes automatically to something else, instead of giving me suggestions. Also "big". Yes, hard to "not see" it, for all when you are older. I guess when you are 16/18 then you only have the feeling of a "cool dude", but they developed themselves and so they grew and became more mature as Rompe. And yes, my logo is different, but I am still here. 😉
7:27 The light got usually smashed on Tills back after the Song. They didnt know back in the days when they did it in america. The light tubes are sturdier and Till left with deep cuts over his upper body. (Source: Rammstein in Amerika dokumentary).
If I recall, this is said to be the earliest footage of Rammstein. I think they was mainly in it due to Paul and Flakes connections to the punk band Feeling B, as this was a follow up documentary of sorts to a previous documentary that focussed on Feeling B. Something like that
Yes, they started from the breakdown of their world in East Germany and worked very hard, found the right people to support their unique music and consequently became bigger and bigger 🤗
I have to say that you are one of the most admirable reacters. Actually, I can't stand this Reaction Content at all. But what you consume and the way you respond to it is a lot of fun to watch! Greetings from East-Germany!
7:24 I think I heard the light tube thing was a spot they used to do , where Flake would hit Till across the back with it. He got messed up bad with it once and they stopped doing it
Knaack was a nightclub that they used as a recording studio in the early days, they did a few special gigs here too for members of the fan club years later. Normally for the new album release, when theyd perform the full album. So some of the rare performances of songs. An early version of Sonne I think was done there, before it had that name
Hallo! Thank you for the reaction :) I just wanna talk a bit about Felling B and its impact on Rammstein in general. So, you said that they chaotic, disorganized and etc. Imma say you're right but! in my humble opinion there would be no Rammstein at all without Feeling B. Let me explain. Firstly, Paul, Flake and Schneider would have never met, therefore there's literally just a half of Rammstein. Secondly, Paul and Flake accidentally met Till in his house thinking it was a place for them to stay before their concert lol (that's not the time they officially met but it was soon after that XD). Till befriend Paul and Flake because they WERE in a band. And not just a band but quite a successful one (so, FB was a punk rock band, which was as rebellious as it could actually be in GDR with vague lyrics, later it turned out that guys had a freaking state agent in the band 💀 not funny at all). Thirdly, around 1993-1994 the band had Till, Schneider, Richard and Olli. There was a conflict when Schneider had an ultimatum because Landers criticized Christoph heavily during the times of FB to the point where Schneider openly talked about that in interviews like this one: “Schneider: If Winfried Knoll couldn't or did not want certain things, I would step in. (...) It was not easy to get through a complete Feeling B concert. (...) Paul had strict criteria, he liked to play the drums himself. He often helped me by bluntly criticizing me. He can rob you of your entire self-confidence, he still complains to me sometimes today. (...) Paul: Regarding the dictatorship of the drummers: Kriening was the last drummer at Feeling B who still had something to say. Anyone after that didn't have a say, but could speak their opinion. The Feeling B government then listened to it graciously (...) We really have tortured them, sometimes unfairly.” Paul was kinda unbearable to work with: authoritarian (yeah, just like Richard), giving all kind of necessary and unnecessary advices and etc. So, the ultimatum was: either they don't accept Paul and Schneider stays or they do and he leaves. Here's Schneider’s quote from Flake's book: “We thought about who we could add. There were four of us and it was already going pretty well. Of course, some didn't want to work with Paul, for example me. Because I had played with Paul for the last five or six years, and Paul is an exhausting type. I stated: I will join on the condition that Paul doesn't join. After all, I had quit them.” But fortunately, they made amends and as you can see on any random pic, Paul and Schneider are always together. Fourthly, why, despite Schneider ultimatum Paul ended up in the band? Well, the answer is Feeling B. Paul produced their albums (it was a very necessary skill) but the most important factor why they took him were Till and Richard. They knew the only man out of all of them who had some actual success was Paul cause his riffs made it through and FB was shown in TV in GDR not ones and the band was quite popular with the public (from 1983-1993 - longer than any of their bands) + they made a hit in 1991 “ich suche die ddr”. There could be easily one guitar in Rammstein but Richard knew he could not rely entirely on himself cause nor Till nor him had some real success, their bands were very tiny compared to FB. Yeah, that was pretty long, sorry for that but it's quite important imo. Actually, if Schneider hadn't played in FB he probably wouldn't end up in Rammstein because there'd be no big bands in his portfolio XD Cause and effect :)
@@xsezz unfortunately it's not only Paul but Mister Smoking Guy too and I'd say he's more than Paul..... Richard told that Mutter album was so controlled by him that the atmosphere in the band was insufferable. And considering what Paul is, yeah, they're a disaster together. As a recall in an Amerika documentary, it was said that during the Mutter era the band almost broke up, all the band members felt the awful atmosphere but the worst conflict there was between Richard and Paul (of course 🙄)
I agree with 2 additions: 1. The state agent was in the band 'Die Firma'in which Schneider, Paul and Richard played for a while, not in Feeling B. 2. Paul and Richard were a disaster together but from more recent interviews it gets clear that they worked it out and get along well nowadays! I think age also mellowed their temperament 😅
@@FroschimBrunnen thanks for the additions! (i had no idea that the agent was in die firma) And yeah, it's obvious that both Paul and Richard are chill with eath other nowadays and worked on their problems :) you know hugging and kissing your besties on every possible occasion 😼 nobody made them do it but themselves hahaha 🤭
Ohhh, I love Feeling B music still today, they were big. Like BIG big. It was party. That's punk, man 😁. An you imagine Paul and Flake going from this active crazy crowd to this almost not moving crowd. I would seriously asking myself what's wrong with the band
Im suprised that you didnt say anything to Till just full on making out with Flake during the song at the beginning. Honestly still one of the funniest moments to me when watching old rammstein stuff. Also couldve sworn that they said somewhere that they had no Idea who that woman was and also, the camera was like actually the dog. They put one on the dog
If you want more information and history about the punk scene of the GDR and why it was so popular…even though I agree that, for the most part, it was awful…you should read Tim Mohr’s book Burning Down the Haus: Punk Rock, Revolution, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Feeling B, Flake, and Paul are mentioned in it a few times in the second half of the book.
3:09 American armies have withdrawn? 😂😂😂 Oh sure, that's why I think there are only around 15 American military bases in Germany and around, I think close to 20,000 American soldiers in Germany. 😂 what bad research did they do?
Feeling B was such a treat and Aljoscha was extremely smart. It just didn't work anymore so smoothly after 89. In comparison to Feeling B Rammstein is boring and hollow. The Feeling B stuff makes me happy to this day. Die Maske des Roten Todes is underrated. It is quite insightful.

I never fell for punk music, but I like Feeling B. There is so much positive Energy in their music 🤗

Yeah, that's the feeling I was getting out of the singer form Feeling B. Happy birthday to Paul!

Today (9th December) is Paul's birthday by the way, he turned 59 🎂
Oh nice! Happy birthday to him!

The connection is, that Paul and Flake were in the band Feeling B. So they played there already together. Later Schneider came as drummer in.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Happy Birthday to Paul!!!!!!! Love this documentary... ❤ RAMMSTEIN🤘
I already wished him Happy Birthday but I'll do it again! :D

@@AnabelReiter And I'm very happy about that 😁
As an east-German I would say: Feeling B was counter culture in the GDR. It was not about good songs.
Zeit and Wilder wein are best Tills lyrics
I take it you like his slower songs. :)
@@xsezz no no Its just lyrics I just wonder most time why they choose Till as writer. I guess cuz his father was fairy tale author
Rammstein, ein Gesamtkunstwerk ,Chapeau!
Nice to compare this to the one-hit-casting-wonder bands 🙂
Till und Ozzy die Kings of Metal!🤟🏼
There's a 2 hour documentary about their first time in the USA - very interesting. It's here on YT.
