In fact, all the members are, it is a requirement in Germany and they renew it from time to time, in addition to that, they work with a specialized company and they design especially for the show. A total commitment.
In the 90´s he was a sex-symbol here in germany. Every guy want´s to be like him ´n every girl wants him!" ;) One of the greatest exports of our country... maybe our beer was in front of him.🤔
I went to a Rammstein concert in the middle of winter when it'd snowed that particular day - most of the crowd that were lining up outside, in the freezing cold, looked like they were dressed for summer, because we all knew that once we got inside and Rammstein started up, it'd be hot as hell. I was in the first few rows and I was drench in sweat - my hair was soaking, my makeup melted, my eyebrows were in danger of being singed. It was awesome.
The Till Hammer as it is known, was actually not a "move" in the first place. Early in the bands carreer Till (singer) had suffered some some knee injuries, and had had many surgeries at the time. During some concerts he would stand in a bad way, and his kneecap would hop out of place. He then smacked it a few times to get it back into place. After some time, Rammsteins manager told him to do it more, as it looked great, and so it came into existance.
To answer your question, yes they are wearing that jelly to protect themselves from the flames. Till is actually a pryotechion so all this is safe lol.
It's exactly what i would expect from steel workers. Also the official video called Sonne has some great visuals that they're working in a mine. I love that part. It's so dark and heavy.
Till Lindemann (the Singer), used to be on a short list to the 1980 Olympics (for East Germany), but he never got there, and he have kept himself in shape ever since. Till is also a licensed pyrotechnician, and does all the pyro himself. "An incident in September 1996 caused a section of the band's set to burn, and as a result, Lindemann got his certification in pyrotechnics so the band could perform with pyrotechnics more safely than it had previously" The reason why Flake (the guy on the keyboard) is on a treadmill, is actually quite simple, he have so much energy, that he can't stand still, and because of all the fireworks he for obvious reasons can't run randomly around the Stage. The real reason why the members looks dirty is because of anti flammable gel, because of safety reasons, and some of the powder residue sticks to the gel, making them look dirty. I'm not certain about this, but I have read several times, that Till does have some stage fright, so he often picks a point over the crowd that he focus on, instead of looking directly into the crowd. I hope this answers some of your questions. I would like you to react to Rammstein - Ich Will (live at hurricane festival) remember subtitles Another one could be Rammstein - Engel from Madison Square Garden.
Flake (the keybord player) has written a book, the "dirt" is instant coffee with water, even that he couldn't sleep because the coffeine was absorbed by the body through the skin. He tried decoffeinated coffee, but it doesn't work as well.
The lead singer is Till Lindeman, I work for them awhile as an electrician., This crowd numbers about 60,000. Till dislocated his knee in one show and while still playing he was trying to beat it back into place. one of the promoters saw this and said it looked so cool, thus the Till Hammer became. As for the lightening from the keyboard is real, no post production. My roll as electrical engineer was to make sure Flake was not fried by the Tesla coil that provides the lightening. As for the treadmill, it powers the Tesla coil.
@@catroinavanalstyne3559 I worked this show, you will hear in other reaction that it is post production,it's not. the treadmill is a mini generator for a low amperage TESLA coil. If you look really close you will see the ball for the coil in the upper part of the stage. Watch his fingers, they are in sync with the lightening, you cannot do that perfect in post production. It took us 2 hours to get the set up just right.
Till maybe look like a badass you don't want to mess with, but he is reportet to be a realy sweet and acctualy pretty shy guy with stagefright.If somebody would recognise him on the street he get realy embarrased and is totaly modest. In my mind this makes his performance just so much more amazing.
Yes, it's hot being at their concerts - even 20-30m from the stage Yes, it's scary the first time the fireworks is passing by just above your head (it's on wires though) Yes, it's a performance band - the music is what it is
The funny thing is, Till is in privat a very shy and calm guy and he has stagefright, but don´t mess with him or his friends, great reaction again, i saw them 2019 2 times and i can tell you, when they start the fire, you can feel it !
Didn't he break some dudes jaw after him being rude to a female friend? 😁 How stupid you have to be to piss off someone looking like that 😅 and I don't mean he likes to fight, like you said you don't mess with his friends or that's gonna happen
Rammstein makes a play on words with the title. "Du hast = You have" "Du hasst = You hate" When pronounced, the words sound the same or similar and only make sense in context. BTW, in Paris over 70k French sing along in German.😷✌️😷
Thank You. And the point of that is, this is a relationshit song. He is about to married. He is committed - "You have" (me) And standing at the altar, he realizes this woman does not love him, she is hateful and just wants to control him.

Maybe everybody already knows this. But considering the reaction discussion didn't really touch on the lyrics and meaning at all, I had to say it. Had to.
🤔 I believe Till Lindeman was in his youth in Eastern Germany traint to become an Olympic 1500 swimmer he is about 1,84 m. 1 cm taller than Floor Jansen...😀
I feel so old.. I saw them live in the Stockholm Globe back in 2003 (I think) and were in the back "sittning down" and even though the fire were nothing as heavy as they do now -I still felt it all the way back! Still the best show I ever been at.
@@Damalatorian oh man, when I saw them in 2014 (or 2016, who knows) we were fairly close, up in the stands. The fire and explosions were so intense I half expected to have singed eyebrows!
Till was a swimmer in the GDR back in the 80s.. so thats where his physique came from.. loving this band since 1995. if you get the chance,then get yourself the bluray from this concert. it is pure awesomness
The reason the singer Till Lindemann as well as the rest of the group look dirty is because they are so close to the fire and I've seen performances where Tills arm have burn marks on them from the flames actually getting that close. These guys are 100% dedicated to their music and performances ❤ also lots of sacrifice especially from Till... If you check out the official mein Herz Brennt piano version video the cuts are real...in the official video of rosenrot the whipping is real... The wings that Till used to wear for Engel weight about 110 lbs... So yeah pure dedication and plenty of sacrafice 😍💕💕💕
No, it's an effect they added for the official video. There are videos of this concert recorded by members of the crowd and there is no lightning in them.
If you like fire and Rammstien then you have to do "Engel" live. The video was done from a movie they did of their tour, so yes they have added effects.
Epic!!! I´m a metal head and I´ve seen performances of the best in business for the last 30 years including Rammstein and trust me, they are on another level performance wise. This video is just a small sample. And your´re right, the lightning is post effect, but the rest is very real. Try the amazing "Ich Tu Dir Weh" live in Madison Square Garden, hell of a song and another great live performance. And honestly, most of us already saw the videos a lot of times, we just want to see your reaction so no problem with the cropped screen. Peace.
I've watched a number of reactions to Rammstein's "Du hast" now and yours is by far the best. You're funny and you know so much! Seems like you're the only one with stage experience and some knowledge about the pyro. Great fun to watch you. Greetings from Germany. :)
German is a great language for metal (for almost any type of singing, really). No shortage of vowels and just about any syllable is clearly articulated.
Rammstein use Lycopodium powder for their flame throwers. It burns less hot and is less of a fire hazard but also more expensive. Also you were correct, they use the gel. Fun fact about the Lycopodium: In 2012 Rammstein burned 4 tons of that stuff during their America tour, a third of the whole Chinese production.
I saw them back in the day in a 1700 capacity theatre and they shot flamethrowers over the crowd. I could feel the heat on my face. It was awesome lol I got to meet them and they are the nicest big scary German guys ever 🖤
The question to why they look like they just got home from work & decided to do a show without washing (paraphrasing), they are covered in soot from all the pyro. As were we & I can’t even explain how hot it was! They are AWESOME 🥵🥵🥵 xx
I saw them in a stadium in Minneapolis. I had cheap seats in the back, and I still felt the heat on my face lol. Greatest show I've seen by the way. So much fire.
Great reaction! Till is certified in pyrotechnics, poet, composer, ex-swimmer ... and I don't know ... Ah! He has participated in some film I think🙅♀️A versatile man ...Rammlied reaction please.Than u ! 😊
I was lucky enough to see Rammstein perform this during this tour when they were at Download festival in the UK and you’re right about the heat. I was quite a way back from the stage and could feel the heat. The pyros were seriously impressive when they shot along the wires to the sound booth and back again to the stage, perfectly timed, screaming as they went and there was the huge bang of pyros and flash of flame on the return. I didn’t see any lightning to his hands live so I think you’re right. It’s in post.
Great reaction! I've seen Rammstein the first time over 25 years ago as a support band in a small club and even back than they had a crazy amount of pyrotechnics for this time.
Fun fact most of the members including the lead singer till linderman are legit licensed pyro technicians and that sweaty dirty look they got going on is fire resistant gel because they deal with so much fire on stage if you ever seen a full Rammstein concert good God there amazing
Irgendwie schlummert in den Amis auch ein bisschen schwäbisch badisches in der Aussprache. Donalds Opa kam ja aus der Pfalz. Die Pälzer reden ja auch ein bisschen verwirrt. :) :)
Your friend said this video would freak you out, second guitar riff round, and you’re freaked out by the keyboard player. LOL I also like the way you stopped head banging when the lightning effect happened. It was like, “What the…?”
I think your judgment went a little fast there. As for the Tesla and the lighning, they had some wires attached to his fingers, so that was no after effect. They actually ran a high voltage throught that wire, although I am not positive if that wire was not some kind of Wolfram / Copper / Magnesium mixture. As for the fire effect on stage, Rammstein worked the shit out of the pyro technique and you are right, they do not look *greesy* by chance, thats a protective gel. . Just for a proposition, check out their Madisn Square Garden recording.
Nothing is added in post production. This is a Rammstein concert, that's how it is! The lighting from the keyboarder's hands is called tesla coil. It's perfectly safe.
They used a Tesla Machine where when Frake touched the keyboard it produced the lightning, Till Lindeman designed all special effects including the pyrotechnics as Till Lindeman is a professional pyrotechnic. There Concerts are legendary and so are there pyrotechnics. TILL LINDEMAN is the singer. I am a Rammstein fan. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Rammstein is always great, hopefully will get to watch them live this summer. Throwing out a recommendation you will probably like since you love classic rock. You need to react to The Pretty Reckless, their latest album released this Friday and it's amazing, within hard rock it doesn't get much. "25" is one of the best songs of last year.
Had a ticket for their 2020 show in Gothenburg Sweden that were pushed up due to this damn Corona. Would be a shame if it still won't be a show but I would take a digital show as a small treatment..
@@Damalatorian Yeah, got tickets to that show too. I think I had 4 or 5 concerts last year that where either postponed or cancelled. At least i got to see Amaranthe/Sabaton in Scandinavium just before things got bad.
The Lightning is from a Tesla Coil overhead. you can here the sizzle at the end of this one. Goes to his fingers from charged suit. Voltage and low current. Electrical engineer for over 30 years now ........
You NEED to watch some behind the scenes interviews with Til. He's the most soft spoken, restrained fella you've ever met. Also he's written poetry-books.
The "electric arc" is on a digital screen being him and they after effected the lightning on his hands for the cut. Also side note, check out "ich tur der wie"
Despite his appearance, all the members of the band are quiet and even reserved men, Till had stage fright because before he was the singer of Rammstein he was a drummer, to focus on stage fright he adapted the pyrotechnics to the show until he became one of the hallmarks. If you dare to react to more Rammstein videos, I recommend the official videos as they are excellent and have their respective making of just as interesting, greetings from Mexico.
All the members of rammstein became fully trained and licensed advanced pyrotechnicians after a terrible incident in one of their first shows. Also, du hast is not lyrically complex because it is purely designed to have a big sound and lots of audience participation (a la we will rock you by queen)
If you like crowd interactions you should react to Blind Guardian - The Bard Song/Valhalla live at Wacken. Rumors say that you only have to play 2 notes of The Bard Song an thousands of people in Wacken will sing the song :-)
Thx. It's ignorant to not combine the fact, that the treadmill makes the keyboard player NOT grounded, and that the Tesla effect is common knowledge, So nobody is in any danger as the lightning from his fingers are REAL. Only in the US, the culture is, that everything is fake and post production. Peace.
I read the lightning is real, they have a Tesla Coil above the stage. I'm assuming the keyboard player is protected because he's still alive. I've also heard he liked to walk around during the shows and got burned a few times from the pyro stuff, so they gave him a treadmill so he could walk in a safe space. Of course Till is a pyro tech as a few have written, and I'm thinking a damn good one.
that's totally 100% incorrect, the lightning is not real, some smartass claimed it was and everybody just repeated it without checking facts as is usual online
Some suggestions for more Rammstein reactions: 1. Engel, live in Paris This is a real piece of performance art, with a lot of fire and explosions. Till shows more of his bamf behaviour. He never leaves caracter while a lot is going on around him. 2. Wiener Blut, live from Wacken Festival in Germany Hard and heavy song, really dark topic. Do yourself and us a favour and learn about the true case the song is about, before you react to it. This video shows off good music and is not so much about stunning effects. 3. Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen, live in Paris Rather repetive and simple but heavy song. Great fire effects around Till that play in tune with the music. 4. Bück dich, live in Montreal By far their most controversial and shocking "show". Not somehting you want to watch with your kids though. Might be disturbing for some - others get the joke and find it funny. This performance is the reason why Rammstein can no longer just entry the united stades without "special treatment" by border patrol. If you want to see some special effect, here is a list (spoiler alert): Falmethrowers strapped to their guitars: Links 2 3 4 Live at Rock Werchter 2016 Flamethrowers strapped to their mouth: Feuer Frei! live at Download Festival 2013 Till setting a guy on fire: Benzin, live at Madison Square Garden Largest flames ever in a show: Sonne, live in St. Petersburg
The post-production effects is because this is a motion picture made of a two-day concert in Paris. Its done by Jonas Åkerlund who also made Lords of Chaos that portays the norwegian black metal story of Varg Vikernes etc
There is actually a song in which they say that they are a bit songless, tuneless but one can hear them anyway. I think Till took singing lessons when he was already older than 35 years. Even if you have talent, I believe that you have to train when you are a kid to become a really great singer or musican. I love them anyway for their message, the dark and pure poetry in some cases, the creativity and the performance. In addition, I do understand the lyrics, and they pull my emotions to a very dark place, but after listening I feel better, like catharsis of ancient greek theater 🎭.
Didn't expect the man, the myth, the legend Henry Rollins to be mentioned haha. Also you're right about the electricity. Only way you could do it was like you said, a tesla coil, and you'd need a full chain mail outfit. And you wouldn't be able to have anything else near it.
Here are some suggestions for more mind blowing Rammstein performances: "Sonne" (Live at Download Festival 2016) --> Hot as the name giving sun (Sonne = Sun) "Ich tu Dir weh" (Hurricane Festival / Rammstein Official) --> Great singing and insane stage action towards the end) „Willst Du das Bett in Flammen Sehn" (Paris Version) --> Pyro Fashion, power, everything that Rammstein stands for "Benzin" (Madison Square Garden) --> Benzin = Gasoline --> burns well. And maybe also a man? There are of course a lot more insane live videos of them: "Links 2,3,4", Engel, "Mann gegen Mann", "Mutter", "Feuer Frei", "Ich will", ... Have fun and rock on! Paris is more a concert movie with post production and released as Directors Cut“. You have to be aware that here a German band is playing in Paris / New York and the French / American audience is singing along in German. Music can unite! :-)
The lightning is a visual effect added for the official video. There's also a video of this concert recorded by the crowd where you can see that there is no lightning.
My understanding (although I've never been to one of their concerts live... yet) is that the lightning indeed is real, and that they are using a tesla coil to create it. Not an expert though, but when trying to look it up a long time ago that's the information that I got.
In my experience, the only show that came close to the visual performance of Rammstein concerts (i saw them live twice) was The Wall Live tour by Roger Waters. Let me emphasize that I'm only comparing the visual performance in this comment - comparing anything else seems nonsense because they don't belong in the same musical realm.
I agree the “lightning” is not real now. Otherwise the keyboard would’ve blown up and the show would probably be over. I asked my dad to watch it, and HE says it’s not real. He’s an electrician. He would know. Doesn’t matter, the song still kicks butt!
Rammstein's members are: Vocalist: Till Lindemann Lead Guitarist: Richard Z. Kruspe Rhythm Guitarist: Paul Landers Bassist: Oliver "Ollie' Riedel Drums: Christoph "Doom" Schneider Keyboardist: Christian "Flake" Lorenz (pronounced Flak-eh) The band formed in 1994 in Berlin and have never had a lineup change in their history. Also, Till is actually one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet irl from what I heard.
TBH, we've almost certainly seen it. Many, many times, in most cases. . You are correct - everything you are seeing is really happening and fully visible to the audience, EXCEPT Flake's lightning fingers. But other than that, all the pyros are real, not to mention designed and built by Til (the singer). . If there's one thing you learn quickly as a member of Rammstein, if Til tells you where to stand, STAND THERE AND DON'T MOVE. Well, unless you don't want your hair. . The bridge gave him time to grab the cannon. Look at Feuer Frei. The bridge gives him time to strap flamethrowers to the guitarist and bassist's FACES!
Been at 4 of their concerts, last time 2 days ago and yes, the heat is extreme also because in the new tour flames are even higher, but the show is GREAT!
Totally correct about the electricity buddy. Flake does have tesla coels... ( dont think i spelled that correct lol) but they are for show. Post production. Would be cool if they were able to do it in real time.
Hey OldSkule, just recently started watching your reactions, and I'm having a blast ! Love your observations and your attitude and demeanor. You should check out Dig by Mudvayne sometime.
21:10 i think "Rammstein" is an air base of the "United States Air Force", but i don´t know exectly. I remeber a movie from the 80´s called "Iron Eagle". After they rescued his dad they will land in Rammstein. -Sorry for my english, i´m just a german guy. ;)-
Wondered why so many times this week, I'd get notifications then not be able to watch it... That's why I've clicked straight away on this one lol. 🤞🤞This one stays up!
Oh and it's mich not bitch 😉 it's du hast mich which is either "you have me" or "you hate me" if you hear it as "hasst" rather than "hast" as it's spelt in the title. they left the double meaning up to interpretation 🤷🏻♀️ fricking love this song (though Sonne is brilliant too).
Till Lindeman is a certified pyrotechnician
Yes, he got certified after an accident where a huge stage cloth (not sure what else to call it) caught fire on stage.
In fact, all the members are, it is a requirement in Germany and they renew it from time to time, in addition to that, they work with a specialized company and they design especially for the show. A total commitment.

@@OldSkuleNerd yessir
How cool is it that they have a French crowd singing in German.
I think the Industrial look comes from their background as Steelworkers.
A French Crowd singing German was fairly common in the Early 40's.... OH DAMN.... TOO SOON?
@@OldSkuleNerd if you are a tourist in france don´t speeking france omg

The Industrial look comes from them being an Industrial Metal band and nothing else. It's a very common look among all sub-genres of Industrial.

Try the amazing "Ich Tu Dir Weh" live in Madison Square Garden, hell of a song and another great live performance. And honestly, most of us already saw the videos a lot of times, we just want to see your reaction so no problem with the cropped screen. Peace.
I've watched a number of reactions to Rammstein's "Du hast" now and yours is by far the best. You're funny and you know so much! Seems like you're the only one with stage experience and some knowledge about the pyro. Great fun to watch you. Greetings from Germany. :)
the fire is real .....i was in a concert in München .....great
Ich war auch in München !
I don't mind if the music video is small. I'm here to see your reaction. Keep up the great work. Greetings from Germany
German is a great language for metal (for almost any type of singing, really). No shortage of vowels and just about any syllable is clearly articulated.
It’s not post production. All is 100 % Real 😂😂😂 it’s Rammstein!! And Rammstein can everything ❤❤❤
Till is also a certified pyrotechnician, so he knows very well how to work with fire :P
React to Rammstein "Ich tu dir weh" (I hurt you). React to the Madison Square Garden Live Video.
React to Rammstein "Rammlied" (Rammsong). React to the Madison Square Garden Live Video.
I've seen them live twice... lightning obviously fake, but most of the fire and the cannons and explosions are real. Very insane concerts.
Rammstein use Lycopodium powder for their flame throwers. It burns less hot and is less of a fire hazard but also more expensive. Also you were correct, they use the gel.
Fun fact about the Lycopodium: In 2012 Rammstein burned 4 tons of that stuff during their America tour, a third of the whole Chinese production.
I saw them back in the day in a 1700 capacity theatre and they shot flamethrowers over the crowd. I could feel the heat on my face. It was awesome lol I got to meet them and they are the nicest big scary German guys ever 🖤
The question to why they look like they just got home from work & decided to do a show without washing (paraphrasing), they are covered in soot from all the pyro. As were we & I can’t even explain how hot it was! They are AWESOME 🥵🥵🥵 xx
I saw them in a stadium in Minneapolis. I had cheap seats in the back, and I still felt the heat on my face lol. Greatest show I've seen by the way. So much fire.
You like fans singing??
Watch this!!!
Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016
"Sonne - live in moscow-stadium" plz
Great reaction! Till is certified in pyrotechnics, poet, composer, ex-swimmer ... and I don't know ... Ah! He has participated in some film I think🙅♀️A versatile man ...Rammlied reaction please.Than u ! 😊
I was lucky enough to see Rammstein perform this during this tour when they were at Download festival in the UK and you’re right about the heat. I was quite a way back from the stage and could feel the heat. The pyros were seriously impressive when they shot along the wires to the sound booth and back again to the stage, perfectly timed, screaming as they went and there was the huge bang of pyros and flash of flame on the return.
I didn’t see any lightning to his hands live so I think you’re right. It’s in post.
Rammstein is an industrial metal band, so it would be strange if they would be wearing clean suites. :P
Great reaction! I've seen Rammstein the first time over 25 years ago as a support band in a small club and even back than they had a crazy amount of pyrotechnics for this time.
The Lead Singer is bathed in Fireproof Grease
thats why he looks he just came out of the Garage
Fun fact most of the members including the lead singer till linderman are legit licensed pyro technicians and that sweaty dirty look they got going on is fire resistant gel because they deal with so much fire on stage if you ever seen a full Rammstein concert good God there amazing
This is a concert movie directed by Jonas Åkerlund, in 2016. The concert is from 2012, hence director's cut.
If you really love crowd reactions, you should definitely listen to Blind Guardian "Bards song" & "Valhalla" in Wacken! Both in one video!
I love the way you say "du hascht" lol - this is perfect swabian - my homecounty accent. greetings to the u. s from
baden-württemberg :-)
Mine too ;) Schtuddgard
Irgendwie schlummert in den Amis auch ein bisschen schwäbisch badisches in der Aussprache.
Donalds Opa kam ja aus der Pfalz. Die Pälzer reden ja auch ein bisschen verwirrt. :) :)
This is the best description of Till Lindemann (panzer)
Your friend said this video would freak you out, second guitar riff round, and you’re freaked out by the keyboard player. LOL I also like the way you stopped head banging when the lightning effect happened. It was like, “What the…?”
I think your judgment went a little fast there. As for the Tesla and the lighning, they had some wires attached to his fingers, so that was no after effect. They actually ran a high voltage throught that wire, although I am not positive if that wire was not some kind of Wolfram / Copper / Magnesium mixture. As for the fire effect on stage, Rammstein worked the shit out of the pyro technique and you are right, they do not look *greesy* by chance, thats a protective gel. . Just for a proposition, check out their Madisn Square Garden recording.
Hello from Cody Wyoming! These guys were singing in German in front of 17,000 people in Paris and everybody knows the words! How awesome is that
I'm sorry to hear you've lost people. All I can offer is hugs, albeint from Australia, so long distant hugs
Nice reaction ;) I recommend Rammstein - Ich Tu Dir Weh (Live from Madison Square Garden) Greetings from Germany :)
Nothing is added in post production. This is a Rammstein concert, that's how it is! The lighting from the keyboarder's hands is called tesla coil. It's perfectly safe.
For more 100% brill crowd interaction: Blind Guardian - The bard's song+Valhalla, live at Wacken :)
I am a Union Electricrian. The glass globes have shown this effect many times
Great, react
Rammlied live in MSG
😍😍
The lightning was (needlessly) added in post. The rest (fire, fireworks) is real.
They used a Tesla Machine where when Frake touched the keyboard it produced the lightning, Till Lindeman designed all special effects including the pyrotechnics as Till Lindeman is a professional pyrotechnic. There Concerts are legendary and so are there pyrotechnics. TILL LINDEMAN is the singer. I am a Rammstein fan. 💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
The reason they look like workers is because they're style of music is called industrial metal. Also the lead singer is a pyrotechnician as well.
Rammstein is always great, hopefully will get to watch them live this summer. Throwing out a recommendation you will probably like since you love classic rock. You need to react to The Pretty Reckless, their latest album released this Friday and it's amazing, within hard rock it doesn't get much. "25" is one of the best songs of last year.
Had a ticket for their 2020 show in Gothenburg Sweden that were pushed up due to this damn Corona. Would be a shame if it still won't be a show but I would take a digital show as a small treatment..
@@Damalatorian Yeah, got tickets to that show too. I think I had 4 or 5 concerts last year that where either postponed or cancelled. At least i got to see Amaranthe/Sabaton in Scandinavium just before things got bad.
The Lightning is from a Tesla Coil overhead. you can here the sizzle at the end of this one. Goes to his fingers from charged suit. Voltage and low current. Electrical engineer for over 30 years now ........
You NEED to watch some behind the scenes interviews with Til.
He's the most soft spoken, restrained fella you've ever met.
Also he's written poetry-books.
The "electric arc" is on a digital screen being him and they after effected the lightning on his hands for the cut.
Also side note, check out "ich tur der wie"
Despite his appearance, all the members of the band are quiet and even reserved men, Till had stage fright because before he was the singer of Rammstein he was a drummer, to focus on stage fright he adapted the pyrotechnics to the show until he became one of the hallmarks. If you dare to react to more Rammstein videos, I recommend the official videos as they are excellent and have their respective making of just as interesting, greetings from Mexico.
Lead singer (Till Lindeman) is also the band's pyrotechnician.
Wanna crowd control, that is incredible?
Blind Guardian at Wacken: "The Bard's Song & Valhalla"
shait
Til is a certified pyrotechnician. Yes the air becomes dry and hard to breath
All the members of rammstein became fully trained and licensed advanced pyrotechnicians after a terrible incident in one of their first shows. Also, du hast is not lyrically complex because it is purely designed to have a big sound and lots of audience participation (a la we will rock you by queen)
You want to know what the guys from Rammstein put on their skin for the industrial look?
Instant Coffee!
No Joke
If you like crowd interactions you should react to Blind Guardian - The Bard Song/Valhalla live at Wacken. Rumors say that you only have to play 2 notes of The Bard Song an thousands of people in Wacken will sing the song :-)
I recommend you do "Ich tu dir weh" from their Madison Square Garden concert next🤘🏻
greetings from germany, i just wanted to tell you this was the first time i heard about "du hast, bitch" and i cant stop laughing xD
Thx. It's ignorant to not combine the fact, that the treadmill makes the
keyboard player NOT grounded, and that the Tesla effect is common knowledge,
So nobody is in any danger as the lightning from his fingers are REAL.
Only in the US, the culture is, that everything is fake and post production. Peace.
Hello, I want to see your reaction to the last Rammstein concerts in 2022 or 2023. It's just a bomb!
I read the lightning is real, they have a Tesla Coil above the stage. I'm assuming the keyboard player is protected because he's still alive. I've also heard he liked to walk around during the shows and got burned a few times from the pyro stuff, so they gave him a treadmill so he could walk in a safe space. Of course Till is a pyro tech as a few have written, and I'm thinking a damn good one.
that's totally 100% incorrect, the lightning is not real, some smartass claimed it was and everybody just repeated it without checking facts as is usual online
Some suggestions for more Rammstein reactions:
1. Engel, live in Paris
This is a real piece of performance art, with a lot of fire and explosions. Till shows more of his bamf behaviour. He never leaves caracter while a lot is going on around him.
2. Wiener Blut, live from Wacken Festival in Germany
Hard and heavy song, really dark topic. Do yourself and us a favour and learn about the true case the song is about, before you react to it. This video shows off good music and is not so much about stunning effects.
3. Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen, live in Paris
Rather repetive and simple but heavy song. Great fire effects around Till that play in tune with the music.
4. Bück dich, live in Montreal
By far their most controversial and shocking "show". Not somehting you want to watch with your kids though. Might be disturbing for some - others get the joke and find it funny. This performance is the reason why Rammstein can no longer just entry the united stades without "special treatment" by border patrol.
If you want to see some special effect, here is a list (spoiler alert):
Falmethrowers strapped to their guitars: Links 2 3 4 Live at Rock Werchter 2016
Flamethrowers strapped to their mouth: Feuer Frei! live at Download Festival 2013
Till setting a guy on fire: Benzin, live at Madison Square Garden
Largest flames ever in a show: Sonne, live in St. Petersburg
The post-production effects is because this is a motion picture made of a two-day concert in Paris. Its done by Jonas Åkerlund who also made Lords of Chaos that portays the norwegian black metal story of Varg Vikernes etc
more rammstein please
Rammstein - Sonne / PROSHOT(Download Festival 2016) HD
There is actually a song in which they say that they are a bit songless, tuneless but one can hear them anyway.
I think Till took singing lessons when he was already older than 35 years. Even if you have talent, I believe that you have to train when you are a kid to become a really great singer or musican. I love them anyway for their message, the dark and pure poetry in some cases, the creativity and the performance. In addition, I do understand the lyrics, and they pull my emotions to a very dark place, but after listening I feel better, like catharsis of ancient greek theater 🎭.
Didn't expect the man, the myth, the legend Henry Rollins to be mentioned haha. Also you're right about the electricity. Only way you could do it was like you said, a tesla coil, and you'd need a full chain mail outfit. And you wouldn't be able to have anything else near it.
Here are some suggestions for more mind blowing Rammstein performances:
"Sonne" (Live at Download Festival 2016) --> Hot as the name giving sun (Sonne = Sun)
"Ich tu Dir weh" (Hurricane Festival / Rammstein Official) --> Great singing and insane stage action towards the end)
„Willst Du das Bett in Flammen Sehn" (Paris Version) --> Pyro Fashion, power, everything that Rammstein stands for
"Benzin" (Madison Square Garden) --> Benzin = Gasoline --> burns well. And maybe also a man?
There are of course a lot more insane live videos of them: "Links 2,3,4", Engel, "Mann gegen Mann", "Mutter", "Feuer Frei", "Ich will", ... Have fun and rock on!
Paris is more a concert movie with post production and released as Directors Cut“.
You have to be aware that here a German band is playing in Paris / New York and the French / American audience is singing along in German. Music can unite! :-)
And yea hey hello from Calgary Alberta.
You seriously rock man....Lemmy Kilmister mentioned 👍🤟
The lightning is a visual effect added for the official video. There's also a video of this concert recorded by the crowd where you can see that there is no lightning.
I used to listen to this song before every jump while I was in the 82nd back in the early 90's. Talk about a motivator.
My understanding (although I've never been to one of their concerts live... yet) is that the lightning indeed is real, and that they are using a tesla coil to create it. Not an expert though, but when trying to look it up a long time ago that's the information that I got.
No, it really is post-work, Rammstein will troll people who ask because it means they weren't at a live concert.
In my experience, the only show that came close to the visual performance of Rammstein concerts (i saw them live twice) was The Wall Live tour by Roger Waters. Let me emphasize that I'm only comparing the visual performance in this comment - comparing anything else seems nonsense because they don't belong in the same musical realm.
I agree the “lightning” is not real now. Otherwise the keyboard would’ve blown up and the show would probably be over. I asked my dad to watch it, and HE says it’s not real. He’s an electrician. He would know. Doesn’t matter, the song still kicks butt!
Rammstein's members are:
Vocalist: Till Lindemann
Lead Guitarist: Richard Z. Kruspe
Rhythm Guitarist: Paul Landers
Bassist: Oliver "Ollie' Riedel
Drums: Christoph "Doom" Schneider
Keyboardist: Christian "Flake" Lorenz (pronounced Flak-eh)
The band formed in 1994 in Berlin and have never had a lineup change in their history. Also, Till is actually one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet irl from what I heard.
Rammstein records their live materials in France or South America because those shows have the best crowds.
They recorded in America too. Some of the lifad tour videos are from Madison Square Garden with others in Rock Am Ring in Germany.
TBH, we've almost certainly seen it. Many, many times, in most cases.
.
You are correct - everything you are seeing is really happening and fully visible to the audience, EXCEPT Flake's lightning fingers. But other than that, all the pyros are real, not to mention designed and built by Til (the singer).
.
If there's one thing you learn quickly as a member of Rammstein, if Til tells you where to stand, STAND THERE AND DON'T MOVE. Well, unless you don't want your hair.
.
The bridge gave him time to grab the cannon. Look at Feuer Frei. The bridge gives him time to strap flamethrowers to the guitarist and bassist's FACES!
it signifies hard work....that's why he is looking dirty.
Ramstein has a story that they tell in every song.
Been at 4 of their concerts, last time 2 days ago and yes, the heat is extreme also because in the new tour flames are even higher, but the show is GREAT!
Totally correct about the electricity buddy. Flake does have tesla coels... ( dont think i spelled that correct lol) but they are for show. Post production. Would be cool if they were able to do it in real time.
Hey OldSkule, just recently started watching your reactions, and I'm having a blast ! Love your observations and your attitude and demeanor. You should check out Dig by Mudvayne sometime.
21:10 i think "Rammstein" is an air base of the "United States Air Force", but i don´t know exectly. I remeber a movie from the 80´s called "Iron Eagle". After they rescued his dad they will land in Rammstein. -Sorry for my english, i´m just a german guy. ;)-
No you are thinking of Ramstein (RAM - STeen) Air Base which is probably the Largest Air Base and Medical Military facility outside of the US
You deserve that growth man, love your content, sorry for the funeral, keep getting them Rammstein videos
Wondered why so many times this week, I'd get notifications then not be able to watch it... That's why I've clicked straight away on this one lol. 🤞🤞This one stays up!
Oh and it's mich not bitch 😉 it's du hast mich which is either "you have me" or "you hate me" if you hear it as "hasst" rather than "hast" as it's spelt in the title. they left the double meaning up to interpretation 🤷🏻♀️ fricking love this song (though Sonne is brilliant too).
Rammstein are legends!
If it comes to the XXX movie you have right. There is a scene where Rammstein plays their song called "Feuer Frei!"
Till is a professional Pyrotech
