- In this video, we're reacting to this song entitled "ANGST" by German rock band RAMMSTEIN. We discuss the emotions the song induces, and how fear is invoked through the media and politicians.
RAMMSTEIN is one of the most influential rock bands of our time, and "ANGST" is a powerful release that will leave a lasting impression.

I'd argue that Rammstein have made 4 of the best music videos of the last 5 years in the form of Deutschland, Angst, Adieu and Radio.
Dont forget Zeit
Dicke titen
A great video with a strong message.
The dance of the cheerleaders reminds of the Haka dance of the Maori in New Zealand. It is used to scare and intimidate the enemies.
Using the Haka dance here symbolically actually fits very well with this. The cheerleaders are clearly working for the crazy guy at the lectern, whose inflammatory speeches reach the people via the media.
It's also pretty remarkable that cheerleaders are doing the Haka dance here. This twists the very purpose of their task, which is to provide joy. The good, so to speak, is turned into evil.
Oh wow, yes! I hadn’t even realized that. It is exactly that!
This is the most accurate breakdown of the music video I’ve seen
I’m glad you approve :). I’m sure I’ve missed stuff as well though. These songs go deep…
a little late to the party but I agree, absolutely knocked it out of the park with this analysis and reaction
Being able to speak and understand German language and culture helps alot lol.
This has to be one of my very favourite rammstein songs and favourite heavy music song in many years. It is absolutely relevant with what is going on in politics today.
Great reaction again. I think your interpretation is on point. Please more Rammstein. Even if you are rewatching the old stuff, do it as a reaction video. Have a nice evening.
"let me tell you something about your country" ^^ yeah.... no... most is wrong. Its more like a curse. You wouldnd understand.
As German I think what I find most impressive in your reaction is that you remember the game AND connect it exactly right to the video... awesome reaction overall, love your sense for details! I've not been following you for too long, but what I saw, I really liked.. hoping for way more Rammstein and maybe Sabaton... that would make this simple man here very happy, already ^^ Greetings from the naval city of Kiel at the Baltic Sea, keep up your good work!🙂
A Masterpiece of Art
Nothing else to add!
Oh I love this reaction, it's great to see one of someone who actually understands the lyrics both language and meaning wise. :) Gotta dig into more of your Rammstein reacts I guess!
There aren't too many yet but more is to come ;). And thank you for the compliment!
Well. If you are an old Rammstein fan, you are going to enjoy the albums they put on the market in 2019 and 2022. Very good stuff.
definitely one of the best reactions yet, thank you for that :) great interpretation too, made me see some things in a new light
Glad you enjoyed! Just be aware that mine is one of many possible interpretations. We all interpret things within our own frame of reference. Anyways... glad you liked it :)
I can recommend to see them live,. They are great live .
They are! One hell of a show!
Gonna see them in Budapest in july, can't wait
The most accurate interpretation I saw so far. You`re right to 100%. One little detail I also missed in 1rst time seeing. They`re not just eating "Negro Kisses" they also sit on a table and cutting former so called "Zigeuner Schnitzel" (chipsy schnitzel), which is also renamed nowadays in Germany. In conclusion you can say that this Video is about refugees who see how we live and think it`s the holy grail and we have the fear that they overrun us. And there is one aggressor (Obviosely the US) who spreat hate and make normal people just crazy.
And I absolutely love "Zigeunerschnitzel"! We still call it that in the Netherlands by the way. I am curious as to what they call it now though. Romani Pork Chop (i know...lame joke)?
Probably Paprika Schnitzel or something...
But anyways, I am happy to see that people approve of my interpretation!
@@VikingReacts The P.C. Version now is "Schnitzel Balkan- Art" or "Puszta-Schnitzel". Invented by crazy politicans who think that the renameing would solve all the problems in the world. Hahaha. ;)
Rammstein always leave it up to the listener/viewer to interpret their songs and videos, but you’re right that this seems fairly clear.
Another song from the same album, Zeit, would definitely be worth a reacting to as well.
Hello Viking! I have just watched all of your Rammstein reactions and I just want to encourage you to continue, because it is great to see and hear reactions, opinions and interpretations to songs from my favourite band ever by someone who actually understands German language. It is really refreshing and I am looking for more reactions or even reviews of older songs, because I assure you, they are much more than their biggest hits and their lyrics are almost always very deep, metaphorical and with double meanings.
Cheers from Serbia.🤘
Oh no worries there... Rammstein has rekindled the flame and more videos will come. I have never seen official videos to older songs either so these haven't been spoiled to me. Who knows...
Thanks for the kind words!
@@VikingReacts Great! And just one advice, if I may. Don't focus only to official videos, because they are not always the best songs from the band. They have tons of really amazing songs which were not used for videos, but are very worth of checking.
Fantastic reaction and a perfect interpretation! ❤️ So lovely to see someone who unserstands the context and various references!
Stopping the song is very welcome when it's needed, and you did it as well as it could only have been done! 😎
Please react to some newer songs 😁
Have a great day! 😊
Wow, great reaction and love to detail! Thanks for this!
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice reaction and good interpretation.
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed :)
I think the last scene can be interpreted like this:
We create fear in the media, even though there is no need. All so that we can sit at home and consume - literally offensive - content and all the while, people - predominantly black and brown people - actually live in fear and poverty every day. Not of their own making, but of others greed and cruelty.
Seeing and hearing beautiful things has a good effect on the body and soul. The reverse also applies.
Their lyrics always builded with a such simple sentences but with such deep meaning
Great reaction 👍🏻👍🏻 greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
They always deliver on both music and visuals. And keep on stopping and talking. Thats why i always enjoy your reactions. And as you said the original are linked down in the description 😉 👍
I appreciate that! Just had to mention it at some point ;)
@@VikingReacts Kind of the point of a reaction channel to pause and talk about something that stands out or needs discussed. Don't worry about the ones that complain. You didn't stop excessively, rather the right amount.
Great reaction.
To understand Rammstein one has to watch it more than once and even discuss it with other to get every aspect with regard to meaning of the lyrics including the double meaning of the words, the metaphorical language of the music videos and the meaning of the use of colour or here for example the red wire (oder Roter Faden, der einerseits alles verbindet, sich aber auch durch alles zieht). It is just unbelievable how many layers and their songs have and even to how many different social topics they address in one song.
Isn´t it always with great art that the meaning is in the eye of the beholder? Therefore Rammsteins live videos are more for entertainment and the music videos are more for thoughtful analysis.
Most important: Rammstein invides to discuss with others, listen to other theories, reflect on our own thoughts, feelings and preconceptions. That is the great gift besides they bestow upon us besides the pure entertainment by the music provided.
BTW: If you intend to re-listen "Ich tu´ dir weh", go for the music video first and the the live video.
Greetings from Germany
P.S.: mach so viele Pausen wie notwendig. Lass´ dich da nicht beirren.
The ending has to do with everyone being obsessed with social media and being engrossed in others lives, and what others think and say, (them, watching each other) instead of breaking free, being involved in the real world (color returns), and living your own life, being kind to others, and thinking for yourself. There are other posts that are saying similar overall concept (though some may be more eloquent in their wording).
One of the best reactions👍. The new stuff and videos from rammstein are so great, you can look forward to that. But also live in Paris or NYC Madison Square Garden are simply impressive.🤘
At 10:24, your reaction "omg really?" told me right away you knew exactly what that sound was and what they were eating....Having mentioned you grew up in Germany, as a kid I'm sure you were familiar with those negerküsse candy...
There's a wide variety of that kinda candy, with similar names in many countries around...Like you said, initially, not a big deal...But yes, times, and fear change things...
I always loved the big box with the mini versions in 3 colours. Mini Dickmanns I think….
@@VikingReacts They still exist and are still super tasty but nowadays we simply call them "Schokoküsse" :) (chocolate kisses)
got to say , until you said"english hard today " on a Pentatonic reaction, I would not have thought you had any troubles at all with it, you speak it so well. Yes, i heard the accent, but you're fluent and your reacts are so good to watch.I personally enjoyed the stops so you could explain because I only speak english and had no clue what was being said, even though i had subtitles on english, so thank you! You're a gem
Excellent dissection!
Great reaction! The YT audience doesn't differentiate between reaction and interpretation/analysis. You do more of the latter and I love it.
The older songs you've mentioned also have alternative interpretations for the discerning listener.
one thing i noticed is the more people gives in to the fear the more free is the crazy poilitician or ? of all the folks i've seen reacting to this video you gave the most accurate description ps have you noticed the little pooch lol c.noel vancouver canada
you are so awesome dude, thank you for your reactions! Greetings from Germany
Both albums, Deutsch land and zeit are both part one and part two. They both are telling you a story through tils eyes.
New subscriber here... Das war eine der besten Reaktionen die ich auf YT gesehen habe. Mach weiter so und alles Gute.👍🏻
i loved it. your understanding of the lyrics made it much more informative. thank you.
Good reaction. 👍
What videos to watch from Rammstein? I have a few suggestions.
If you want to see their (incredible) live performances I would suggest (in this sequence)
Rammlied (live from Madison Square Garden)
Du hast (live from Paris)
Engel (live from Madison Square Garden)
Sonne (live at Rock im Park 2017)
Links 2 3 4 (live from Madison Square Garden)
Ich will (live from Hurricane Festival 2016)
Ich tu dir weh (live from Madison Square Garden) (don't take the lyrics too serious)
Mein Teil (live at Hurricane Festival 2013)
Amazing official videos
Sonne (Sun) heavy, screwed up fairy-tale
Links 2 3 4 (left) partly heavy march
Ich will (I want) heavy, simple, way to celebrity
Spring! (Jump!) (fan-made animated version with english subtitles) slow, partly heavy, very dark sarcasm!
Radio (Radio) catchy song (with serious background)
Keine Lust (not in the mood) heavy, funny, slidely sad
Mein Herz brennt (My heart burns) scary, nightmarish, very special
Newest official videos from their last album "Zeit" in sequence of the tracks on the album:
Zeit (Time) slow, dark, melancholic, emotional
Zick Zack (Snip Snap) catchy song, sarcastic, funny
(Angst (Fear) very Rammstein, scary, credits at the end are helpful to understand the message)
Dicke Titten (Big Boobs) heavy (most of the time), catchy, funny, credits are funny too (my view)
Adieu (Goodbye) dark, sometimes heavy, emotional
Last but not least the great (but not nice) video "Deutschland" which has a lot of references to (mostly unpleasent) parts of German history. Video, lyrics, and sound are great (my view) and work very well together.
It seems you don't need English lyrics to understand Rammstein songs. If you find, it would be helpful for your audience:
For many of Rammstein's videos there are English subtitles available. To find a lot of them, you may search on CZcams for: "educated marine rammstein" + songname
For live videos of Rammstein songs, www.youtube.com/@Bucksttabu/playlists is a good source.
In case of Rammstein, precise translations of the lyrics is hard work (and sometimes not possible in subtitles), because they are playing many times with double meanings of words or slightly modify common German expressions and symbolic language pictures to invert or change their meanings. (That is even used in the very simple lyrics of "Du hast".)
I wish you to enjoy your restarted Rammstein journey.
Awesome reaction. You cannot react properly to Rammstein without thinking deep about the lyrics. You are the first one analyzing it so clever.
Excellent analysis!
The sweet was known as N..erkuss or Mohrenkopf , whats both isnt allowed anymore. In Germany it is a Kind of war sometimes, how to call some items. Like, Zigeunersauce ist how Paprikasauce. An the German do have ANGST to hurt someone or groups by nameshamng
Not just in Germany to be honest. Same goes in the Netherlands actually. I don't want to go too much into it as i want this to be a politics free zone basically. A place where we come together through music :). But I get what you are saying!
absolut cool - sowohl das Video, alswohl die Besprechung ✌
Great break down of the lyrics, thank you!
good interpretation! enjoyed it.. thank you!
Great reaction again. Personally i like it when you react with those stops and digest the meanings in songs and stuff. Your reactions and this channel is what i follow the most because of this. Also if you did not do that, we probably not had Sir GoesBackALot😂.
So keep doing what your doing👍🏻🤟🏻
Wow, dude! How fast you grabbed the message and understood the visuals. It took me a heavy rotation of the video to realise all the small and big details. Great reaction (and, PS: Your german is pitch-perfect.)
Please continue as you do I watch a reaction to see what you think and have to say. If I want to listen to the song or if I want to see the video I watch it on the Rammstein channel.
Great reaction 👍🏼
Best Reaction, Danke für dein Video , Grüße aus Deutschland !!!!
That was a superp, on point reaction and conclusions regarding the meaning of the video.
Left a sub.
With love from Germany 😎 🤘🏻
Kommentare wie dieses tun mir gut! Mein deutsch ist nicht mehr was es mal war aber für Rammstein hat es gereicht ;). Vielen Dank und einen schönen Gruß aus Holland!
Liked that you dissected the song.
It was the perfect song to do it and to be fair… I couldn’t have stopped myself from doing at as these kind of videos are exciting to me. I love to philosophize when it comes to social issues or meaning behind lyrics/videos. I’m glad you liked it :p
@@VikingReacts 😁
Till Schweiger 😂😂😂 great, never laughed so much at a Rammstein reaction 😂😂👌🏽 i love your reactions, mach weiter so und grüße aus Deutschland 😁🤘🏽
Liebe Grüße aus Düren bei Köln. Wusste nichts über deine Herkunft. Cool, wo bist du aufgewachsen.? Bin schon lange Fan deines Channels. Schön das du zurück bist..super reaction, as always...ich bin ein MaidenManiac seit 1985. Ausserdem noch Gary Moore, Accept, Helloween, Running Wild und Manowar. Kennst du Manowar.? "Gods of War" live is quite a banger..have a peaceful sunday 🌈 stay safe, buddy
Also note how the only time the neighbors show fear is when they fall into the abyss. But at that point it's too late, they lost their grip (on reality).
True! There’s so much to this video that I am pretty sure I haven’t caught half of what is being said :)
I like you stopping and explaining. Your reactions are great and educational. You should also do Lindemann solo project. My personal favorite is Steh Auf.
Love your read of this video 🤟
Probably best reaction ever. Thanks about N**** Kiss, don't know about it. Love Rammstein from 90s, one of the best band ever
This is the best description of sick western society
The top view of the crumbling walls is the same image as the logo on Tills lectern
11:04 The name of this dessert (cream foam on a round waffle with a thin chocolate coating) has been changed to Schokokuss (chocolate kiss).
Hey! I really enjoy your videos! I don't watch so much react videos, but I really love to see especially your videos 'cause I'm feeling some soul and calmness. I love that! (I'm a huge... massive Nightwish fan, by the way...😅) I have a recommendation for you. I don't know if you ever heard about Darkwoods My Betrothed?!? This is a black metal band from Finland (of course...🙃), that Tuomas participates in. They're formed in 1993, but I'm not very sure if Tuomas was there from the start and even I think he is somekind of session musician for them. I'm not really sure after all. I'm not very familiar with their songs, either. But I'm very, very curious of your reaction. I would very, very much enjoy it. After no music for roughly 20 years, they realised a new album in 2021. I don't have any special preferences for any exact song (may be some drops on the comments or something you decide), but I'll totally appriciate that! I hope you're in peace and you're good! Much love and power!❤🤘🌞🌠
Very strong reaction
My man gets it, he just gets it!
Damn I miss that candy now.. its been many years since it got dramatized and name got changed :D
Dickmanns I think… at least in Germany. I actually just saw ours in the store about half an hour ago… tempting
This Song is not about the Boogeyman...it is about the Refugees in Germany. Greetings from Germany
That is not true. It's about both! Greetings from Germany too!
@@rateba7092 Hallo! Es fehlen die Horrorelemente für den Boogeyman... es geht um die Beinflussung durch die Medien und die Angstschürung gegen den "schwarzen Mann"..LG ;-)
@@blackshark2088 hast dudas Video überhaupt gesehen? Rammstein spielt mit beiden Ängsten!
@@rateba7092 Wo ist die Anspielung auf den Butzemann? Wo die Szenen mit Kinder die geholt werden?..."Schon der Vater hat gewarnt.."? Ja er hat auch schon damals vor dem "schwarzen Mann" gewarnt...er hieß nur N.... verstanden?
Everybody has their own interpretation of the song. We look at these songs from our perspective and with our own reference frame in mind. Always assume that you may be wrong in your assumptions and interpretations, listen and discuss.
We may be wrong... you may be wrong. It is very abstract and it could be both... My reference was mostly to the line from the game being used to talk about the boogyman.
And.. please stay civil in the comments...
Super Reaktion mein Freund 👍🏻
We have em in denmark and sweden, the chokolate covered cream thing, idk if they were called that.. But we don't call em that now in any case lol
This is one if the best interpretations I‘ve seen. You definitely have to check „Zeit“ if you haven’t done already?
i think you are definetly right with that Moorenkopf (N....Kiss) Bro Please react to more rammstein. (Sonne, Ich will, Deutschland) Thanks and greets from Germany.
in the end til kills the "black&white" view by destroying the tv.😉
Big advantage that you understand german! On the other hand...I know Lots of Germans who wouldn't get the message like you did! Respect!😂
Definitely keep on stopping when you have things to say. Gives the thoughts out as fresh as they can be as well as helps with the copyright stuff.
It doesn’t help at all with the copyright though. That is a myth… sadly. But still, I don’t care as any possible monetization is a nice bonus but not the point of the channel. This is literally musical therapy/discovery and me connecting to likeminded people. If anything comes in.. my kids or wife have an extra gift this month :p
@@VikingReacts It actually helped, but it changed with the first adpocalypse and an AI/algorythm was introduced.
Ich liebe Rammstein 😍
Danke für die tolle reaction, um dein deutsch etwas zu verbessern 😂 schreibe ich auf deutsch!! Alle Lieder sind sehr stark, z.B. "Zeit" "Dicke Titten" usw. Grüße aus Köln
Dafür vielen Dank! Ich will mein deutsch nicht verlieren :)
Hello again my Viking Brother!
I get goosebumps from your interpretation of this video! Same interpretation that I have. That doesn't mean that it's correct...but it could be close.
Think twice about what the Cheerleaders represent aswell in today's climate and it will become even worse :o .
Much Love to You and Ukraine
💙💛💙🌻🌻🌻
Das mit dem "Wer hat Angst vor dem Schwarzen Mann" hatte man noch gemacht als ich Kind war und ich Bin jahrgang 2005. Also wahrscheinlich auch heute noch. Weiß da aber natürlich nicht wir representativ meine Dorf Grundschule da ist haha
Weiter so Rammstein ist eine Lengede !
Deine Reaction ist auch sehr gut , sorry, hatte ich eben vergessen mit aufzuführen..
awesome reaction again ! and to be honest ... I came for your reaction , not for the video I watched many times 😉
Hello from Copenhagen Denmark
Till Schweiger. Ich kann nicht mehr
Dieses Kommentar hab ich eher erwartet ;)
If I didn't want a youtuber to stop the video and give me their first impressions of the topic, I would just watch the official video itself. That's the whole point, isn't it?
Very VERY good reaction!!! This is exactly what is currently going on here in Germany - being afraid of what we don't know and are not usedI to. 😢I would LOVE to see you reacting on their song Deutschland!
i enjoyed your approach to reacting very much! I get where people on the flipside come from but then why watch a reaction?
as for that last bit with those refugees, I always take it as "they look at the western world as their travel target but get imprisoned and demonized by it" (short version)
Till tried to destroy the tv set at the end. I think this would be a good suggestion for many people in these twisted times.
Yes, you stop too often, 😄😄😄
but... you understand so much more of the meaning than any other reactor.
Very well done, my dear.
yes too many often , you know too much, a touch too much ;) ac/dc fans won´t like this hey ;)
Respekt dein deutsch nach 27 Jahren noch sehr gut
deff check out the old ones Nohcmal
Hello
the video is fantastic. It describes the power and manipulation of people, their brains, by the media and society. Neighbors that were once friendly become enemies, enemies who kill each other with evil. You wall in your good feelings and positive thoughts, you become lonely and lonely. Evil is the bound Till and the Cheerlyders are his accomplices to command a foreign controlled crowd.
The dance performed by the Cheerlyders is a haka. The New Zealand rugby players, for example, do this just before the start on the pitch to impress their opponents and instill fear in them.
In the end, Till smashes the medium of TV, which manipulates us through the powerful of the times. This gives reason to hope for a better world without prejudice and discrimination. One's own life regains, represented by the color that is visible again.
It is a video against prejudice and manipulation by media and governments. The implementation is virtual, a real masterpiece thanks to the musical intensity and Till's charismatic vocality.
Let's look forward to more inspirational songs and movies from Rammstein. What do you think?
I wish everyone a good time
Fantastic video, again, from Rammstein.
Must admit, the first time I watched this I automatically thought the political figure in the straight jacket was Trump!
Now I can’t watch it without thinking the same :)
It’s ok CZcams, I know you’re probably hiding my comments because I upset your precious sensibilities :)
I would think of Trudeau first to be honest… but I fully understand what you are saying :p
gatverdarre, chocolade zoenen 🤢 (thats how they are called nowadays). Rammstein has always had those kinds of texts, i guess they like to make people think :) . i've HEARD them once live, while sitting in the garden of my ex mom in law 😆. They were playing again in N'megen. Awesome reaction 🤘Fijn weekend!
kannst du vieleicht zu dem lied donaukinder reagieren ich finde das lied muss gesehen werden danke für deine reaktion
I'm french and those candys were called here N... heads when I was a kid, and same, the name changed too.
The politics try to send the message: be afraid of who you don't know, and even the people near from you.
What part of germany were you born in ?
I would love to see you react to the 'Seemann' cover by Apocalyptica & Nina Hagen! It's a really, really good cover and I might even say it's better than the original by Rammstein.
I was born in Steinheim and lived in Blomberg. Nordrhein Westfalen ;)
absolutely ..... comment
I would be happy if you make a reaction to Rammstein "Deutschland".
I intend to… I don’t know it yet :)
Hi, good reaction. There are many different interpretations of the song. Some say it's about East and West Germany (I don't see it), some say it's a racist warning about refugees (I don't see it at all)
I think your interpretation goes in the right direction.
I understand the candy thing to mean that rammstein wants to show the absurdity. On the one hand we have all-important discussions about inappropriate naming to avoid hurting people and we feel like good people, but in reality, in the real world, we let them starve, freeze and die. it's called hypocritical and through the mobile phone those affected can watch the absurdity live while they suffer.
There is one more thing. around 30 40 years ago we had two n-words in germany. the one with an "e" in the 2nd position and a single g ; which was a more neutral, nonjudgmental term for colored ones, like in the candy.
The second n-word, with an "i" in the 2nd position and a double g (as in the USA) was clearly a nasty swear word.
The meaning of song is in text of the song ,just right there. Straight away. Everyone has a fear for Black man ( there are a lot of refugees from Africa in Germany which are considered a Black people). Rammstein could not say it more straight away. It's so confusing for listener because we are taught to be liberal and politically correct and don't say Black man but in reality everyone knows what does it mean.
Das lied geht mehr in die richtung Verschwörungs theoretiker und wie leicht man menschen durch meinungen und vorurteile lenken kann aber da ist großer interpretier spielraum
Ich denke das Mann mehrere Interpretationen machen kann. Deines ist auch plausibel ;). Übrigens nützte ich diese Chance um mein Deutsch wieder zu üben. 27 Jahre ohne Übung und jedes Wort muss erst dreimal angeschaut werden :p
it's funny because a lot of people wonder who they mean by the black man yet at the end of the video just like at the beginning you see those dark men and at the end they write black men
Herrlich erfrischend das jemand der Reactors mal Deutsch versteht :)
Get your vaccines!
About the cheerleaders, easy: Sex sells. In addition they are two-faced, whenever they sell their customers bricks or weapons, they are beautiful and smiling, when they are alone, they are hideous and aggressive, representing the greed and uncaringness of their capitalist bosses for whom they sell his wares. Another fascinating point is the white circle that the customers never leave, I think it represents their mental horizon. Their clothing seems to be from the fifties, also representing their opinions.
