Today, we wanted to react to a Goliath of a music video; Rammstein's Deutschland. This video has proved very controversial, with people showing outrage at its representation of German history (the good, the bad, and the horrific). Nevertheless, we came in with an open mind, as it is our philosophy not to make judgments before we have seen something for ourselves.
Check out our reaction to Radio: • RAMMSTEIN does it AGAI...

Just came back to watch this video today on July 20th. First video we ever recorded. Didn’t know anything about how to make videos. We were watching a small Picture in picture image and recording our screen with the RUclips PIP. Could barely see anything. Then it got blocked and the only way to make it live was to edit more and allow RUclips to mute some portions. We honestly expected 100 views at most!
Check out some of our newer videos; we got much better on every single level.
It isn't even illegal to be a nazi. :/
It’s the Weimar Republic, the era in question, the time between WWI and WWII
Can you make reaction to ruclips.net/video/uFH8lwX7eT4/видео.html , song "Dogodine u Prizrenu" (Next year in Prizren), by hip-hop band "Beogradski Sindikat" (Belgrade Syndicate)?
Dude...it gets interrupted...fix it, please
Is that possible to react to Ultra Vomit, Kammthar ?
Hi, I'm from Germany.
Rammstein is playing a classic "Industrial Metal" style. A 50-50 mix of synthesizers and hard metal guitarrs.
A big part of the German history in one video. The black woman as Germania. Germania is the mother of the German nation. It isn't and wasn't a Goddess or Joan of Arc.
The glass coffin: It is Little Snow White from the Grimm-fairytales....and from their own video "Sonne". Only with black skin and in space. The piano song at the end is the song "Sonne", too.
The battle of the Teutoburg forrest against the Romans (and Rammstein as Roman soldiers and Germans alike).
That battle is of ABSOLUTE importance for the German history.
The hanged bodies in the trees were the beaten Roman soldiers, who were gruesome sacrificed to the Germanic gods...and were partly nailed to the trees.
The Varus-(Teutoburg)-Battle was already in 9 AD. In 16 AD were the vengeance campaigns of Emperor Germanicus. Therefore we see here the arrival of the Roman troops of Germanicus and they are watching their dead comrades hanging in the trees or getting their heads chopped off (for nailing them to the trees).
In reality the Romans under Germanicus found only the bones of the Varus army in the various ways they were slaughtered, sacrificed and displayed at the trees. Slaves were liberated even decades after the battle.
After the scenes with the Romans we saw the Hindenburg Zeppelin disaster (the burning Zeppelin in the background).
The moustaches and clothing from the fight scene are from WWI and post WWI years. From the working class people in WWI and the roaring 20's. In the WWII years later on this kind of big bushy moustache was already out of fashion.
The V2 rocket (first manmade object in space) as technical triumph of the German spirit...and at the same time the killing of the concentration camp prisoners in the bunker factories below the mountains during the production of that rocket.
This scene in the video could be a representation of a very specific concentration camp. It was "Mittelbau-Dora" below the Kohnstein mountain.
A mixture between a big, huge bunker factory for V1 and V2 rockets and a concentration camp.
The concentration camp inmates had several different markings for different kinds of convicts and their "crimes" sown to their chests, like it was in reality, too. A pink triangle for homosexuals, the star of David for Jews and two of them were marked with the double-triangles for Jehovas Whitnesses.
The book burnings of the Nazis and the burning of the witches of the church. In the same scene with the book burning there is EVEN MORE going on. The cooperation of the church with the Nazis, when the priest with the cross embraces the Nazi SA-man.
The scene with the sign with the Hammer and a pair of compasses in a circle of wheat is the sign of the GDR (DDR). The socialist German state in the east that existed before the German reunification.
Therefore it was Karl Marx in the background in the scene with the tank (not the scene at the concentration camp).
The scene with Rammstein wielding guns (the pumpgun) and taking Germania hostage was about leftwing terrorism of the 1970's. The terrorists were called the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion).
My interpretation of the red scanner-like beams: There are two different kinds of beams. The massive straight red light beam that goes up into the heavens AND there were those smaller, thinner "scanner" beams.
Aliens (or humans from the future) are scanning the whole German history. Like some real scientists are scanning and excarvating ancient Mexican or Egyptian statues, for example.
The massive red light beam is the red ribbon of time that ties together all the historical events.
PS: As for the dogs: Germans are fanatical dog lovers. We are a dog-owner nation. The dog is a firm part of Germany.
PPS: They didn't eat the body of the woman and her inner organs, even if it really looked that way. They were eating the national dish of Germany, that was put on the body of the black woman: Sauerkraut, Kassler & sausages.
In my opinion it symbolizes the church eating itself fat on the goods and values and food of Germany during the simple people (farmers, simple workers etc) lived a long time in a kind of hell of poverty and serfdom (the red fetish area below the table with Germania on it).
But that eating scene could indeed have a double meaning. It could represent the 30 years war, that was fought for religious reasons and depopulated large areas of Germany. It forced the people to commit canibalism because nobody was there anymore to produce food. Except the fat, wealthy people of the church, of course. They were still able to eat enough. Only the simple people at the bottom (farmers etc) died from hunger and had to fight and die in that war.
The 30 years war was the biggest catastrophe in Germany until WWI happened.
PPPS: The short scene with the dogs and their gas masks = WWI, where in reality animals (messenger dogs & horses) AND soldiers were wearing gas masks, too.
PPPPS: The puppies at the end are Leonberger dogs. The Leonbergers nearly went extinct during WWI and WWII.
PPPPPS: My interpretation of the glass coffin is Little Snow White in space, like I wrote before.
PPPPPPS: The black woman in the prison was dressed in a Prussian uniform with a Prussian helmet.
Finally:
The scenes I'm now talking about are pretty dark and low light. The WWII submarine in the submarine bunker during the astronauts are walking by with the glass coffin.
I think, the choice of the black woman as main actress was made, because:
a) it makes any accusations of racism and fascism against Rammstein useless
b) she represents one colour of the German flag and she is wearing the rest of the colours of our German flag as makeup and jewellery and clothes on her body: Black, Red and Gold
c) it provokes many people EVEN MORE 😄
Recommendation for a review:
The band "Schwarzer Engel" and their song "Schwarze Sonne".
Greetings
Mega
Thank you so much for your very comprehensive review of the video and a very interesting take on the significance of the laser beams. And I (Chuck) went back to some of my favorites from Sehnsucht (Du hast, Engel, Buck Dich, Spiel Mit Mir) and indeed now remember all the synths in those songs as well. Some snippets even sound similar to old school Prodigy! And thanks for the recommendation! Would love to expend my knowledge of German music!
@@ChemicalReactions I'm glad that my posting was helpful. I've edited my posting at several points. I added a 30 years war perspective to my thoughts about the eaten Germania on the table with the Sauerkraut & Sausages.
"Industrial Metal" or only "Industrial" was invented by the band "Die Krupps" in the beginning of the 1980's. They are still around and they influenced many bands. Like "Oomph!" or "Eisbrecher", "KMFDM" or "Megaherz", for example.
Therefore another recommendation from me:
The band "Die Krupps" and their song "Paradise Now".
Greetings
Mega

Girl: Sees German spaceman
Also Girl: That's definitly not German history...
Werher von Braun: :(
Yeah she doesn't know her own history. She doesn't know how much knowledge America got from germany.
Americans dont learn history like developed countries
V1/V2... just the beginning!
Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun, heißt der gute Mann, lieber Tyros. Der Rest ist richtig.
America wouldn't even exist without Germany.
If it's not provocative, then it's not Rammstein. 😊
mrs7195 you said it!
And then you have Tillerman. Bat shit crazy!!
It's not provocative.... It is HISTORY.
Platinum did you notice that Germania is actually black
How is it provocative to show part of your countries history? If they wouldnt put it in they would be whined at too cause that would be like holocaust denial. You can never erase your past no matter how dirty it is, you wouldnt know how to live if it wasnt for former mistakes.
The Laser is "der rote Faden" (Red string) which represents the timeline through history.
Arved Ludwig Thank you!
Rather more like the ancient Greek myth of the red thread of Ariadne. The life line through the labyrinth.
Good for pointing that out. It was right there and i did not make the association.
Arved Ludwig 😱
It's more like people from the future scanning through German history.
"It almost looks like World War II"
just ignore the giant communist emblem in the background and the GDR-flag on the left.
pfff, just details... not important :D
They're Americans. Don't expect too much:)
Couldn’t see jack sh*t on the tiny picture in picture we were watching.
navelpicker We’re not Americans.
@@ChemicalReactions EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES!!!
jk, it's fine. I have sometimes brain-farts aswell and have by no means knowledge of all of history. so if I were to watch a video about another country's history but my own, I most likely would miss certain details aswell!
Black lady tends to wear a lot of red and gold.
German flag is black, red and yellow.
She represents the allegorical Germania.
She's literally the subject matter of the song.
I'm almost sorry to correct your good explanation, but the flag's colours are, of course, black, red and gold.
@@fryke gold is a shade of yellow. The lady wears gold, not the colour but what appears to be literal gold.
@@MrRavellon I know. I merely corrected your explanation about the flag, which isn't defined as black, red and yellow, but as black, red and gold. -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Germany
@@fryke to be an even greater smartass. Gold and Black are the colors of the German kingdom and of the HRE, red was just added as tricolores indicated revolutionary movements towards liberalism / democracy. She wears mostly black and gold which entirely suffices to indicate Germany in a historic context. Incidently in the prison scene she wears a Prussian parade uniform in black and white aka Germania dressed as Prussia.
That would hint that scene should be placed in the 19th century with the oppression of liberalism and socialists by the monarchies of germany, famously Bismarck's anti socialist persecution.
@@mr.dav1d484 That's very nice of you, Mr. David. Not sure why you had the feeling you needed to point that out, but I get your point. Now please go forth and post something thankful as a reply on a different video.
3:25 "Let's pause it real quick"
No Dad, you don't pause Rammstein
This annoys me so much about Reaction video in general. Don't destroy a song's build up!
@@Evanescencegirl23 but if you don't RUclips takes them down.
@@redstarmn9308 yeah okay I guess that's a good point
@@redstarmn9308 no actually there is no copyright on a reaction video because you made a commenting they dont take this down... not in germany
You don't pause Rammestein...Rammestein pauses you.
2:55 "OK, thats def. not German history".. Acully it is, after WW2 USA took 1000+ of the top Nazi scientist. They worked on Nasa and was the acuall key of the space program. Source: Operation Paperclip. Just FYI :) Good reaction vid!
soderlind81 Thanks! Check out our reaction to Radio if you haven’t yet!
One of these scientists was a man you've probably heard of: Wernher von Braun, who would work on the Apollo program for NASA.
@Cristian Roth Thank you! Learning more every day!
@@SergioKoolhaas Nice!
Not only Operation paperclip has taken many of German engineers also Russian did.
One thing a B2 also is build was the Horten fighter after the US version didn't work well they also later rebuild it and say if Germany get working that plain running at 1941 the whole history would be an other. If interested I can look for the video about the rebuild and radar test in the USA.
*he pronounces Rammstein correctly*
Me: *moans in German*
Xastian Veroth LoL
Okay so I have been saying it right Ramm st I n not Ramm stEinE
Cara C the second I believe. Any Germans around to confirm either way?
ChemicalReactions! Sometimes they say it in their songs
Edit: I’m also learning German-
@@ChemicalReactions Always happy to teach. Your pronounciation was pretty spot on. Ramm
Your Daughter is so on point & switched on, noticing the stars in the officers Jackets? That's a good brain right there.
Everybody should notice that. That's just basic education.
The Star of David was on one of the Prisoners striped clothing marking him as a Jew.
The S.S. Officer had a Nazi Swastika on the Shoulder
In the Outro you can hear a Piano Version of Rammstein's famous Song "Sonne" (Sun).
Crap! If we had known we wouldn't have edited it out! Gorgeous piano indeed; we will add Sonne to our list of songs to listen to!
@@ChemicalReactions Hell yes! My favourite!
You say that this video is well made… so can be said about Sonne.
Absolutelly stunning!
The Girl: Is that Voldermort?
The Dad: The reaction is over, Get Out
Seriously, how cringe
It was a joke people!!
@@ChemicalReactions No, it wasn't.
TheMuddyOne yes it was.
@@ChemicalReactions Who are you trying to fool?
I want to notice that Juliette (is that how you write her name?) was able to identify the general time period by the mustache or by the stars in the uniforms.
Currently a lot of young people don't know and don't care even for the history of their own country, much less about other countries. Kudos to her.
but in this scene it was DDR/ Cold War and not WW2
No, no she wasn't able to do it. Depends about which mustaches are we tslking about? The Weimar Republik ones or the DDR. Not even close.
Wrong, she wasnt lol
sorry wrong
What?
She was completely off
to understand, what rammstein is saying with their song "deutschland" you first gotta understand the political situation and then the history of Germany... =)
Yeah but not just about ww2... we have more history expecpt of the two world wars..
And understand it through the slightly f’ed up window into Rammstein’s mind!!
Yeah, it's all in there: Romans invading, Teutonic knights, industrial revolution, Karl Marx, red terrorists. Brilliant video.
"understand the history of Germany" - meanwhile every 2nd shot is a black woman. National and cultural suicide at its finest.
ZeeVon really? Explain how, I would LOVE to hear it
The black Woman is literally "Germania", a female symbolic representation of the german Nation.
Frater ANPV BAiL-ShM you need jesus bro
And she is black to me more provocative
@@CameraStudio Sure that thats the reasen? I mean, you really need someone who stands out from the first moment for this concept to work. You wouldnt get that if you just took a regular german-looking woman - it would take time to set in that she isnt just some meant to be some regular woman, and by then the clip would be half over.
Yes she is, she has black skin, yellow teeth and red eyes like the german flag.
We did get that didn’t we?
Just for the record: the medieval feasting scene on Germania refers to the atrocities the church did in the medieval german states: the clerus was ripping off the country, while the commoners were left to starve (the prisoners under the table). Oh, and they're eating sausages, Kasseler and Sauerkraut btw, typical german dishes. ;)
Rammstein are the purest artists in music today. They do what they want, how they want and when they want and never apologise for it.
To this day they have been together as an unchanged line-up from day one for over 25 years. They are as much an expressionist art collective as they are a band. But they also write incredibly simple, catchy songs.
Simple... and yet complex as well.
Some have simple lyrics that are just simple fun. Some seem to be simple, but hide complex meanings. And some are just complex in structure and meaning.
Unlike some other famous artists, they constantly change, evolve and try new things, while still keeping the core of their work similar enough to keep their original fans happy... it's a bit hard to put into words, but that's what makes them fascinating and rather timeless.
@@Norbert_Sattler True. As a new novelist, I strive to write in that artful way. I've done ok, but there's definitely room for improvement.
Simple is always effective
5:21 old time classic: sees germans in uniform "Must be Nazis and WW2" -.- . It's the GDR, recognizable by the hammer and compass symbol!
steven03048 Couldn’t see sh*t honestly. Watching a small picture in picture on a small laptop screen while recording screen. We were noobs at this.
@@ChemicalReactions You might find interesting that the lead singer Till grew up in the GDR and participated in clandestine rock bands during the communist regime. He also was a swimming champion in the GDR :-)
Why are people suddenly always calling history “controversy “?
Angry Alan Rants Easy word to use when you don’t know what to say.
@Bob Button those who not know the history, are doomed to repeat it. Is that the saying?
Also notice that the Personification of Germany "Germania" was taken Hostage in 3:31 by Terrorists. Thats a reference to the time of RAF Terrorists in germany( Rote Armee Fraktion)
Thanks for the comment; so many dimensions and events brought up to this video!
I'm a World War 1 buff and she is absolutely correct about Adolf Hitlers moustache. Im impressed!!
*Me too*
Yeah, nobody talks about that. Most thought it was just is style
Yeah, I didn’t actually know that. I love that this young woman was able to teach about a certain aspect of history so eloquently. She’s got a good head on her shoulders, that one.
This is without a doubt their best work . If you understand the language the songs meaning is apparent immediately. I've been learning to speak german for a little while so I had a little understanding of lyrics . The history aspect of it doesn't take long if you do a little digging . Most people dont get that involved into a video but this particular video has really grabbed a lot of people . This is the reason they are so popular around the globe .Its history ,art,music,entertainment all wrapped up the way only Rammstein can deliver . Love them or hate them ,they are musical geniuses that have stood the test of time . You two did a great job sitting down and analyzing this song together. Some real good father daughter bonding time !
“Was that Voldemort?” - are you freakin’ kidding me?!
t4nt yes, yes we were. That was a joke.
Ho ho ho stoppp! Don't speak his name! Better call him 'you know who' or 'the dark lord'.
I’m actually star struck by how little American’s seem to know about German history, especially considering she’s taken European history she really didn’t know much at all
You're absolutely right...
When people come to America from other countries and I explain our history to them, it's "How interesting, I did not know that."
When Americans don't know the history of another country, it's "How stupid and provincial of Americans! How can they possibly not know the entire history of every country that's ever existed?? How can they not know every language spoken on the planet?"
Gonna take a wild guess here and assume you probably couldn't teach a US history class at 13 or whatever age she is.
Ok so you know the whole history of the USA, Canada, Mexico, Italy, France, Netherlands, Poland, Ireland, England, Scotland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finnland, Ukraine, Russia, Spain, Greece... ? No? Man you are so uneducated
Dude, I'm American and I love history. I know most of german history from Germanic tribes, to the holy roman empire, to the Rhine confederation, Prussia, the first proto Germanic state in 1871, to ww1, ww2, east/west germany, to now. Plus, these folks aren't even American lol Not all Americans are dumb.
In alot of American schools they don't really teach anymore most of what I know on ww2 came from my own obsession of it and wanting to learn more we mostly cover certain bits of ancient world history and American history that's about it . I do alot of research on my own time as far as history goes because our education system is lacking and broken and is in major need a reform
The educational system in America is a joke and I live in this shit show of a country.
7:10
Germany is being consumed by the Church.
@@nooooooooope3809 Reformation and the Thirty Years War.
The black woman plays "Germania" the female form of Germany that is not real, just a fictive person.The laser is "the red thread" through the story!You have to watch the video at least 5 times to see all the details! Or did you see the airship "Hindenburg" explode ?? Just an example of many details in the video! Also look at the prisoners who have different badges on their prison uniforms.
These badges show political and homosexuals as well as Jews. But you can only see that if you look carefully!
And no it's not Ausschwitz but Travemünde where the V2 was developed.Actually, it's about "hate and love" which beat in a heart when it comes to German history.
Again, chronologically, the video goes from the invasion of the Romans to the Middle Ages where the population was ripped off by dignitaries of the Christian representatives to the NAZI's and the people's representatives of the GDR. The terrorists of the RAF appear in the 70s, where Til the lieder singer of Rammstein plays a character in the red leather skirt, which at that time was also a dark side in West Germany. The RAF (Red Army Faction) was supported by the GDR with money and weapons as well as shelter.
The fighter with the beard in his face played in Berlin in the 20's of the last century, when the class struggle of the different groups took place.
Did you see the rats? Well, what comes to your mind? "Pied Piper of Hamelin" as a metaphor. How to catch people in the mind ????
Rammstein also expects the story with the video "Radio". What the NAZI's and the GDR to hear the ban Westradio. ruclips.net/video/z0NfI2NeDHI/видео.html
Thanks for comment! We will have to watch the video multiple more times to really catch everything; so many things going on! And stay tuned: our reaction to Radio will be posted this week!
The V2 was build in Peenemünde not Travemünde and the KZ they show was "Mittelbau-Dora".
My two Cents in: 1. The start of the singing is " Du hast viel geweint … " ( you have wept a lot ), when the Romans attack Germania. It represents the roman Revenge- Campaign under Nero Claudius Germanicus ( Father of later Emperor Caligula ), after seeing what Germania did to their comrades during and after the battle in the Teutoburg Forest ( 9AD ). 2. When the band- members are shown eating Germania, they are dressed as MONKS/ Clericals. 3. Shortly before the Scene of NAZIs Burning books, you see a Monk setting fire to burn a witch/ witcher in one of Rammstein´s stage- outfits. During the book- burning, said Monk is seen embracing one of the NAZIs... Nonetheless, dear ChemicalReactions!, i enjoyed your Video really much! Keep on your good work ( Maybe with some other RAMMSTEIN- Videos, too? )!
@E- Rock Hmm?
I wonder if Germans refer to their land as a woman? For Russians it's "mother Russia" (or "wife Russia" for Blok), but as far as I know it's "Vaterland" for Germans.
The reactions from you guys shows that Rammstein achieved what they always aim to do that is to leave people amazed and seeking for more. Great reactions guys , you keep it up
The portion of the video where you were talking about the men's mustaches is referring to the Weimar Republic which existed from about 1918 to 1933. The costumes depict the styles of clothing people wore during 1920's, so it's a little before WW2.
As a german i might be able to explain some of the scenes in question. The beginning was referencing the infamous Varusbattle, where a bunch of usually divided germanic tribes lured Varus roman legions into an amush, whiped them out and stopped the roman expansion into middle europe. Due to the character of germany as a "late nation" and germanys federal nature, german nationalist, especially the Nazis under Hitler, attempted to idealize this moment in history as the founding of the german nation (when it actually most likely prevented it due to the lack of romanization which in other nations abolished most of the tribal cultures and cleared the path for the central national state). The feast scene most likely symbolizes how several different political parties and ideologies used the idea of germany as a national state to boost their own agenda. While the german state was founded very late compared to its neighbours by Otto von Bismarck, the idea of a german state wasn't that new. But noone knew how it actually should look, not even its borders were clear due to the state of austria - hungary. Should it be a monarchy? A democracy? Ultimately the attempt of a bottom up, democratic state founding failed in 1848 due to the still strong monarchs and lords (there were many!) and conservatives. It took a man like Otto von Bismarck and a lie to found germany from the top down. He lied, faked documents and got the several german feudal states to side with preussia against france. France was defeated completely and the resulting founding of germany on the corpses of french soldiers in Versailles poisoned the relation between the two nations until post WW2. Due to Bismarck being ultra conservative, the first (modern) german nation, the Deutsches Reich, was a monarchy and military state, and therefore in clear opposition to more modern nations as the USA, UK and the post war french republic. Conflict and war were innevitable due to the german economic and military power and arrogance. Only under Konrad Adenauer post WW2 the new federal republic of germany finaly joined the international community (and was accepted by them as equal, which it wasn't realy before WW2). However, all the bloody crimes in german history were commited in the name of germany, symbolized in the feast scene. But to fully understand Rammsteins video you have to know about germany as a late nation, the resulting hurt ego among german nationalists and how the real bad guys used this hurt ego (hidden under several layers of national pride) for their own agenda. In many ways politicians abuse this human tendency for overcompensation until today (for example in poland, another late nation)
This is really enhanced by even a rudimentary knowledge of German. Lyrics like:
"Deutschland, mein Herz in Flammen; Will dich lieben und verdammen" - "Germany, my heart in flames; I want to love you, I want to curse you", or
"Deutschland, dein Atem kalt; So jung, und doch so alt" - "Germany, your breath so cold; So young, and yet so old". or indeed
"Deutschland, deine Liebe; Ist Fluch und Segen" - "Germany, your love; Is a curse and a blessing", and finally
"Deutschland, meine Liebe; Kann ich dir nicht geben" - "Germany, my love; I cannot give you".
These are all lyrics of men who don't seek to glorify the history of their nation. But rather understand it's dark moments, and accept them as such.
Going by the lyrics it seems to me like the song is about how the bandmembers feel about their homecountry. The good times, the bad times, the pride, the shame... everything. Not just a single time period, but... everything, though not in terms of events, but in terms of emotions.
"Will Dich lieben und verdammen" = "Want to love you and to damn you"
"Deine Liebe is Fluch und Segen" = "Your love is curse and blessing"
I think it's so cute that you are doing these reaction videos together :)

Thank you for this video. It looks like the daughter has a wider horizon and a deeper knowledge than many. THERE'S HOPE! ;)
That was an amazing break down of this video/song. I Thought almost the same thing when first experiencing this song. Good shit! Keep it up you two! Love it!🤘👊🙌👍
Hey, I wanted to say something about Germania. Yes, she represents Germany, you could draw similarities with the statue of liberty. She has a long history and had many faces, reaching back to the romans, which assumed Germania was the goddess which protected the germans (which werent germans at the time because the country didnt exist yet) from the advancing romans. The germans took that over and made it an official figure. You can find many statues of her, sometimes holding a sword or another weapon, but nearly always the protective shield with the german eagle. I only know of one well known picture where she actually has neither a weapon nor a shield, but a book. The shield is drawn on her coat of arms though.
Its a shame that she is nearly forgotten. I actually never learned about her in school and was able to overhear a conversation about "who that is supposed to be" in front of one of her pictures even though she is a figure longer than many others.
for me it was realy nice to watch a reaction to a video about german history and the person reacting at least knew something about germany or/and the language. Greetings from germany and keep it up :)
I already commented about ur daughter and her moustache comment, but she really knows her german history. Im pleasantly impressed.
The girl : holy shit, this so intense, better drink some milk
You both are such shy and innocent, dudes.
This is classic Rammstein provocative style. They do provocative lyrics and videos all the time. The music is the only well behaved thing about them.
They should try the video for Mein Teil.
Oh, wow. I learned something about facial hair and beard growth. Thank you so much, Juliet! I was in high school in the late '90s, but I still love learning. You go, girl!
Also, you nailed the essence and imagery of the video. It's portraying Germany's history, and their love and hate for themselves throughout.
I have been a huge fan of Rammstein since...well...Du hast. They are the reason why I started to learn the German language. This was a great reaction video, and I gave your video a thumbs up.
I'd love to see you react to Kai Tangata by ALIEN WEAPONRY.
A band from New Zealand that sing most of their songs in Maori. The cinematic quality of the video to Kai Tangata is great too!
Yes+
I like the idea that your`re analyzing that kind of things between daughter and father.....
Love the history commentary. You don't get that a lot in metal video reactions lol. Please, consider reacting to Sonne for your next Rammstein reaction.
That's a great song, actually it was one of my motivations to learn german (Mein Muttersprache ist Spanisch).
And you guys, keep making videos!
Hahaha... Starting reaction video with his daughter, with a Rammstein's clip without checking it before... You're brave hahahaha....
I would have started with the Beatles, it would have been more secure... :)
C'mon, it was just Rammstein .. and not his Solo Project "Till Lindemann" with his uncensored Version of "Knebel" 🤪
Something for both of your tastes combined
Anthrax[feat. Public Enemy] Bring the noise.
To read the video it helps to know that the sythie part in the beginning is a quote from Anne Clark's "Our darkness".
That is the subtext of the song.
really well explained and observed/ interpreted (greetings and love from Germany)
World war 2 is in too but the first you saw them in the uniforms was from the DDR
The Symbol in the Background is from the DDR it was a little later After ww2
Can you also react to Rammstein Radio
It's new to and it's about the restrictions in the media (radio) . We couldn't get other countries music, it was forbidden
Thank you so much for your comment! We love hearing more about the history of this fascinating country. We will do our best to react to Radio (we haven't heard it yet!) but unfortunately can't guarantee anything given Rammstein's label's restrictive copyright policies. Stay connected!
@@ChemicalReactions you found a good way with Deutschland so we could still hear snippets
If you do the same with radio i will be more than happy 😊
@@sophiecooper3624 You got it!
In This Moment - Big Bad Wolf
American melodic death metal band featuring the stunning Maria Brink on vocals.
Rammstein has been mixing electronic with metal since 1994.
Rammstein fan since 1997!!! They've always pushed boundaries and been controversial, it leads to discussion. Germany government has tried to ban certain songs by them over the years. Their music is awesome. Easy to play, yet powerful. Love em, love em, love em. One of my favorite bands ever.
This whole video is about the history of Germany since before it was Germany. They share the history of Die Mutterland, good and bad. The things they love and hate about it. Stars and scars.
Bro, any live Rammstein video could have prepared you for this...😂😂😂😂
Should check out the live version of Mein Teil. The song about the cannibal Armin Meiwes. Their stage shows are crazy.
hope dies I can believe that easily!! And thanks for the rec!
Interesting review. Like most Rammstein songs each song has many or at least a dualistic meaning. The song „du hast“ is interpreted by many as „You Hate“ but actually the whole line is „du hast mich gefragt und ich habe nichts gesagt „ really means you have asked me and I did not say anything „. The song Deutschland also has many meanings you guys touched on many of them.
Thank you both!
I checked my copy of Herbert Asbury's "The Gangs of New York" (the book that the film is loosely based on), and Butcher Bill (Daniel Day-Lewis' character) was killed in 1855.
You can watch the explanation of this song on RUclips. The whole history of Germany is decribed by Rammstein!
i see in 4:55 the "Hindenburg"
Zaphriana Connor another thing we totally missed!
your analyse is excellent
your girl is pretty smart man! congrats, and great video!! keep the hard work
We hope you enjoy this video. If you do, please like and subscribe. Our apologies for the aggressive editing and muted portion but Rammstein's label is very strict on copyright. More to come from us!
PS: A little constructive criticism:
Try to talk about details of the seen things in the interruption breaks or after the video. Because during some of the best parts of the song Chuck was talking about the things he noticed and was detracting from the reaction on this way during the some of the best parts of the music (where I wanted to see you react to). For example, when Till started to sing with his deep voice the first time during singing "Du hast viel geweint".
When muting / editing the sound away...try not to edit your comments away, too.
The best solution to such copyright claim threatened videos is:
Mute the sound completely after counting to Zero for the audience. So the audience can watch the original video on a second screen and watch your reaction on the other screen. The counting to zero makes it possible, to start the original video on the other screen at the same time you are starting to listen and reacting to the video and music.
Chuck has been told multiple times that he speaks too much! ;-) And thanks for the recommendations; we're new at this and happy to hear anything we can do to get better!
@@ChemicalReactions :-)
You expect too much of "reactors".
Fantastic comments! This is something I would like to see more in the future... adult, about my age group, and a kid, one, a younger generation - like my little(st) sister. And you are together analyzing and commenting on a music video. Great commentary.
I had to come back, just to compliment both of you on your effort and knowledge about Germany and the things you got right just by watching this confusing video. Even a lot of germans don't get that... The mix between medieval parts and lasers and astronauts symbolises how Germany has always battled with it's history and always will.
Thank you for the reaction video and stay well! Greetings from Germany
I believe by the men eating “Germany” it was supposed to represent the separation of Germany between itself
Errrr... no
Tyler Liberatore this scene refers to the religious wars back in the days.
The Symphonic rock/metalband "Within Temptation" features the rapper X-zibit in their song "We Run" might be interesting for you both 😎😁👌
Thanks for the recommendation! Btw, if you want to see us react to another fusion of different music genres, check out our reaction to Old Town Road: ruclips.net/video/2ycH8pfcVms/видео.html
keep it up guys . Great video
The actress represents "Gmernaia", which represents a personified german nation, like Marianne in france or Britannia in Britain.
It goes even back to roman times, when Augustus coined that figure (a female) as a defeated person with the slogan "germania capta" (germany is defeated), even if there wasn't "a germany" back than, just germanic tribes
just read on YT: "Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable"
Check out our brand new INSANE reaction to NIGHTWISH - GHOST LOVE SCORE. Link is here: ruclips.net/video/ld3FcZYDMkA/видео.html
ChemicalReactions! you started with one of the difficultiest songs of rammstein for someone who don't know the History of germany complete.
The first scene is the birth of germany, it shows roman soldiers fighting against the barbarian clans that unified themselves to withstand these forces.
After that War, Roman empire became the german roman empire.
The women is Germania, the mother of germany, our miss liberty if you want to and these are only the first 20 seconds.
If you want to get a deeper under standing of that song try looking up Vlogdave he explains a lot of there songs and it's giving a hole new deept to the band.
ChemicalReactions! Awesome review there!
Your sub and viewership count will definitely go up now 👍
Watch Creek Mary's blood from Nightwish. Based on Native American
Seems like some parts have been muted?
Yep, unfortunately. Mix of copyright blocks and our lack of experience at the time with copyrights
Thank you for understanding. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat It.
Awwwwww.. you missed the outro, which was beautiful on its own even.
This caught me off guard - i am from Germany and have kind of a hate/love thing going on with Rammstein. They had some problematic texts in the past, so their music was difficult for me. This video was automatic played after watching you reacting to nightwish. I was very disturbed why youtube muted so much and also curious, because of the epic design of the video. I went to the original video and it's so amazing - all the references to german history, the outstanding production and of course really fabelous music.
I couldn't comenting it on the Rammstein page, but I was soooo struck by this video, I had to write something somewhere. This might not be read by many people, because your reaction was from 7 month ago. I had to do it anyway. I think I will buy the complete Album - never thought about getting an Rammstein Album before. Okay that's it, thanks for leading me to my new favorite musicvideo.
Just found you :)
I would reccomend giving your Daughter a solid dose of Swedish Power Metal in the form of Sabaton. Their niche is Historical Military Metal, everything from Sparta (a favourite song of mine) through Viking, Medieval, Renaissance, WW1, WW2 and current conflicts.
Metal AND History....match made in this History Nerd's heart :)
My only dose of Rammstein was a vid I came across years ago; Ich Will. This message would seem to be a theme, but then again, nine sprechen ze deutch, (and I probably messed that up too, lol).
Germany being eaten was not only the allies after the war but Berlin was split into 4 zones of foreing control. I loved the insight you had on your very first viewing. I just wish I could hear what you were saying when they muted you.
the Germania being eaten was depicting the wealthy German church feasting on Germany, the people around the table were monks
it´s About the 30 years war between 1618 bis 1648 which caused on religion differences between Catholics and Protestants (based on the Monk Luther and the Reformators). This war nearly destroyed germany
"I took AP European History"...calls roman armor medieval (face palm).
Retrogasm In our defense, it was dark... ;)
wannabe reactors
Congrats, you have a new subscriber ;)
Yes. They are huge Tarantino and Lynch fans. Thats why a lot of musicclips of theirs have their movies as inspiration
This is very mild for Rammstein, check out Mein Teil for a shock.
The moment where the woman is being eaten is most likely the time when the catholic church gained it's power because you had to pay to be released from your sins etc. .
also i think is a reference from their album "liebe is fur alle da" where in the album art you can see them eating a woman
5:10 that's soldiers of the GDR (eastern Germany). You can see it from the golden "logo"thingy on the wall😅
I loved how shocked you both were. That video really is a bit overwhelming for everyone. Checkout "Radio", more fun, less confusion, more enjoyment.
mkmm60 barring any copyright blocks, we should have our reaction to Radio up on Friday!
6:16 alter das hat die aus "Er ist wieder da" 😂
Hab ich mir auch gedacht haha
the girl "knows a lot about Germany"
Zdeněk Ryšavý To be fair, we were watching on a tiny picture in picture on laptop screen while screen recording. Couldn’t see sh*t.
Lol, exactly what I thought.
The director of this music video is Specter. This guy normally comes from the German Rap/hiphop scene and produces first of all music videos for German Rappers. He is also Co Founder of the German Rap Lable "Aggro Berlin".
fun fact: the part when Till sings and the music stops is cause that line was a reference from a line on the german national anthem " Germany, Germany above all" that after the WWII is not longer sung (or at least not longer sung on official occasions) , thats why the music stops in that moment cause there is more impact cause you are wondering if he really is gonna say it even better cause he is wearing one of the camp prissioners uniforms!! like saying "above all morals" please read the lyrics and all the history behind the video is so so good
blind guardian - the bard's song live in wacken
angra - the shadow hunter
One Rammstein video you could also be interested is Amerika and the official making of video concerning it that can be found in RUclips, it even has English subtitles in settings.
Rammstein have made a lot of good videos for their songs. Not just great musicians also great actors who really do their best always. Definitely recommend their concerts too. Fantastic show they make wearing costumes and lot's of fire.
We can't deny our past and we must remember so we don't repeat it. But we are forgetting to be proud of our nation. Pride is being confused with fascism and hate unfortunately.
Sheepdog471 That’s so true. You can’t be ashamed of your country forever. At some point you have to look to the future and the leadership that Germany is showing on the world stage. Don’t forget the past but look forward to the future.
@@ChemicalReactions I wish certain people in this country understood that. Instead Half of americans want to travel back to the "golden" times when women knew their place, gays were in the closet and blacks worked the fields. I don't mean to turn this is into a political argument but we are still losing in the common sense race no matter what your view is on any particular issue. That's one reason why Ramstein is so popular; They get it and aren't afraid to show it...and neither am I but I have no outlet except my cats...and they just sleep in boxes
Good reaction. Too bad about the copyright issues. But this is the first ever "Father Forces Teen Daughter to Watch RUclips Videos" reaction (I kid, I kid) that has a teen who is aware of history and basically, well... :) Good job, Chemteen!
Jouni Karhu You kid but I had never seen a “father forces daughter to watch video” before we did one. And then they started popping up in my recommendeds
A little history about the topics in the video. In general you can say it's a retrospectre of the German history, as you already mentioned.
Varusschlacht, Witch trials, crusade(s), industrialisation, Hindenburg, nazi-regime, east- and west germany, RAF. Guess I got evrything. This video is just so packed.
I wanna mention some fine symbols used in the video:
- Black Germania: Germania ist represented with a black female (Ruby Commey) not just for provocation. Her clothes combined with her skin shows the German national colours (black, red, gold). Also it's a nice counterpart to all the uninformed people thinking, they're on the far right. (They're left)
- The hanging scene: It's the only scene not exaggrated in comparison to the the other scences from the other decades. It's also seemingly the only scene, where some kind of revenge is shown. I think it shows some respect to replicate as it really was for the victims of this period.
- The dogs: I think the dogs are German Sheppards, THE German dog itself. Also it could be a reference to scientific tests made during the nazi-regime, but that's a wild guess. Could be cause during the RAF scenes, they're growm out and this time takes place about 40-50 years after. But that's just a theory I read somewhere.
- reference to old Rammstein songs: There some references to older Rammstein songs in the video.
The lyrics "Du hast" are wildely known from the song "Du Hast" which is the most well known across the globe.
The angel costume at the end is a reference to song "Engel". It's also the construct Till wears during live concerts
Same scene, different section: they're kneeling in front of the angel. These are references to the songs "Mein Teil", where they kneel in the video, and also the live version of "Bück dich"
The suits in the Hindenburg scene: It's a reference to "Ich Will", where the colourgrading looks similar and they also wear suits like that
- Military Fire Scene: During the showcast of the burning books (representing the nazis), the monks were also there. It shows how much the church was involved in it due to fear of the nazis. So they co-operated with them
- Eating monks: That point was mentioned in another comment here. So all credits there. But I wanna mentioned the people underneath the table in an orgy. It shows, that the rotten face of the church in medieval times, when they seemed abstinent to the outside but good Lord, there were also a lot of dark secrets. Could also be a reference to the modern time molesting cases, but I don't think so. Maybe.
I hope it's not that much to read. If so, I'm sorry for that and have a good day enjoying one of the most literary bands from Germany
The Audio is a bit messed up, like missing at some parts of the Video
