Whole album is an absolute masterpiece. Props to Rammstein.
i totally agree
Du hast Recht, mein Freund, mit zunehmendem Alter werden sie immer besser👌🖖
Tbh I Think it is not heavy enough. Some good songs, but not as heavy as it should be, but better than the Last one which was kinda mostly kinda lame.
Except for OK. Man, they butchered the great riff in OK with the lyrics. And maybe Dicke Titten, though I just dislike the lyrics on that one (since it's basically the Rammstein riff)...
All in all it's a Best Of without being labeled a Best Of :D
@@frederickm9823 whaaat? Dicke Titten has the best lyrics on the album(if you are german and understand it^^).
This is the only band that has stood the test of time. I immediately got the album and I was not disappointed. So many good songs. Reminds me of the first time I got Sehnsucht. I couldn't stop listening and drove for hours just to keep listening! And the visuals in this video says so much, very addictive to watch. Like the old MTV days. The director is a genius of this video!
its like I was reading my own comment!
couldnt have said it better !
Genau das! Rammstein 😍
There are many bands that have withstood the test of time. But yes, Rammstein is great.
@@Emilio-Esteban What bands are just as good as they started? Not even led zeppelin. Definitely not Metallica, or Megadeth, Black sabbath, when should I stop??
We're really living through times when FEAR is cheerleaded for like no tomorrow. Rammstein are so on point!
The word play here is that "Schwarzer Mann" has two meanings - the mythical bogeyman but also "black man / PoC" so it could also be seen as people waking up and reflecting that Angst is a construct used to make people put distance between each other, mistrust each other then fear and hate each other ...
This! The most important Message from this Song/Video.
His coming... Step by step...
We need John Wick then. ^^
That was my interpretation, more or less the fear spread by information we hear on the internet, and a general mistrust in each other like you said.
I think the video really puts in to perspective how fed up the band as a whole was by media-induced xenophobia. It's also a message about how we should connect to each other as people, face to face, instead of through a screen which distorts and distances ^^
This song and the video is the best thing ever happened in music industry. Long live Rammstein.
Easy now...
One of the greatest songs ever created..
Deep meaning,deep lyrics and an eye opener for many people
Thank you
A little on the imagery/meaning: The video/song can be read as a commentary on fear of immigration. In Germany, Europe in general, a lot of fear is spread around immigration from Africa, because of immigrants trying to reach our shores from the southern continent. So the "black man" that everybody is afraid of can be taken as the boogie man (contextual meaning) but also literally, the black man, which would be the exact translation, going back to an old children's game that kids have been playing in Germany for decades. Of course, Rammstein are not racists, but they're highlighting how people are being pushed into being fearful of the other, the guys in the video fencing themselves in, while the refugees at the beginning and end of the video are also fenced in, probably not by their own free will. People fencing themselves in by definition also means keeping other people out. And we have a lot of fences going up around Europe these days. It's also a commentary on how the internet, irresponsible media shores up fears in people and the cheerleaders could be a reference to the US, selling bricks and guns to people, spreading their influence, not often a good one, across the world. And yes, the song is a banger. Highly recommend the new album. While it's a little more thoughtful than earlier albums, there are quite a few bangers on there. And rumours are it may be their last album, so go and see them on tour, while you still can.
Excellent insight Mellow. yours is a proper 'reaction' 🤔😜
You are looking too close with immigration. It's about the whole Querdenker/QAnon movement that breaks apart societies and is feeding. There is a discussion who the cheerleaders represents. Americans tend to say the government, while in Germany i think they are the supporters, the watcheres, the ones who give them stage to spread this Querdenkertum.
By the way, the history of the "Black Man" instead of Boogeyman (this is "Der Botzman" which isn't used for almost 100 years anymore). The "Black Man" is taken from the colonial past of Namiba. So yes, it's explicitly a black African.
@@lynne8755 None of the Rammstein guys is a Jew, and you can be jewish and German.... you do know that, right?
@@lynne8755 one of the most stupid thing I read on the internet. Jews are a religious ethnic group, German is a nationality or as I like to say „a passport color „
Your interpretation is pretty exact on, I follow VlogDave and he’s German and a big Rammstein fan. Plus you added at the end rumours saying this could be their last Album … ummm that was said last time on their last album, with Deutschland, Radio, Auslander etc
They have a way of putting issues into perspective through music, and have always stood up against shitty things. This song is raw and honestly once is sinks in then it just hurts you inside and you feel that rage at the end when he is smashing the tv. omfg. I adore them.
Yeah. Spot on. The ending ist just... oof.
Fun trivia: According to the credits one of the band-members is among the cheerleaders.
Haven't found him yet.
Also yes the lawnmower he uses to smash the TV had the blade removed.
Oliver Riedel the Bass Player in the front 1:22 ? i´m 99% sure
The entire new album is a masterpiece, and their music videos are unrivalled by anyone else in the industry. So happy to have you in the fandom finally!
Lets go! one of those bands that has and had a huge impact on my life! love it
but are you watching it with translations? i know music isnt always just about the text, but its surely helpful. besides tho, rammsteins visuals are often speaking for themselves.
greetings from germany!
for Rammstein it's really mandatory to react with the translated subtitles on, because their lyrics are so powerful and meaningful
even with Dicke Titten, behind the funny lyrics and video, there is a message about how people are blind and don't see the happiness that is just there in front of them...
The language is an instrument onto itself; so pummeling and sinister. And the color red, the universal color of poison, signifying the crap that’s radicalizing so many people these dark days. This is some Jedi level metal. I love at the end how after Til smashes the TV suddenly there’s color again. Holy shit.
Angst in now on the set list for the current tour so should sound amazing. Every time you think you've seen the best from Rammstein, they lift the bar up that one bit higher. Outstanding to see that there are still bands who care enough to do that. I love Angst and the video. Both make you think deeply, there are no simple explanations here but that's typical of the band-everything is always so multi-layered with them.
Unfortunately it is not on the setlist from this year's tour. Maybe the upcoming 2023 one
@@lefevrealban it was initially listed but having seen the footage from Leipzig, I can see that it wasn't on the setlist. Hopefully on the next tour for which, come hell or high water, I will be well enough to see them live. Have to miss out this time round as I'd sadly had to accept.
Angst means fear, Angst vor'm Schwarzen Mann = Afraid of the Bogey-Man ( hope it's correct like this). A perfect video, with many interpretations possible
Well, its also a Play on words, since its also directly translatable to "black man".
@@gandalfthegay. but „Schwarzer Mann“ - „black man“ represents a chimney sweep. Dont ask me why,. It. does not have any racial purpose or smth
I think the video should be viewed as a tragedy in which an all consuming, maddening and irrational fear is the inevitable downfall of our protagonists (the band members)
In my oppinion the term "Schwarzer Mann" could meen multiple things at once:
- "Schwarzer Mann" the "Bogey-Man" as an unknown imaginary evil spirit. A mad fear of something which is not real.
- "Schwarzer Mann" a human with dark skin tone. Refering to an irrational fear which leads to racism.
- "Schwarzer Mann" as the personification of Death/ the Grimm Reaper or "Knochenmann". The fear of death.
@@gandalfthegay. has nothing to do with race
@@Io-Io-Io Are you kidding? So you think them eating N*word-kisses, singing about a black man and having refugees at the end is coincidence? Sure.
They could not be more clear without literally throwing it in your face.
This might be one of the best music videos ever made. When you dont have to know the language, and know EXACTLY what the point is, I count that as elite.
It was really incredible.like their earlier songs...spirit of Rammstein.i don't have any words to describe all my feelings.
This song/video combination is epic. You can interpret the lyrics and visuals in so many different ways. Till's terrifying vocalization backed by those raw heavy riffs and drum beats just brings on the goosebumps making you feel the Angst.😨 Rammstein turns 28 years and are still going strong with all 6 original bandmembers. Because of 3 simple things: 1. They are democratic, atleast 4 out of 6 must agree before anything. 2. They always write their songs together. 3. The most important one according to Till, Richard and Christoph: Relation Therapy. It shows since "Zeit" is annnoying my neighbours for 3 weeks now 😂 As this album is easy one of their best.
for me it's a masterpiece, I just play it in loop
Love the hidden loop in the video depicting how everyone is spying on everyone else without anybody noticing it: the band watches the woman with the smartphone and the kid drawing figures in the sand on TV, while the woman watches the band watching TV on her smartphone.
Till addresses both the old German children’s game “who’s afraid of the boogeyman” and like the genius he is twists and turns it to address Xenophobia/Racism in modern times as a result of migrant influx by singing “who’s afraid of the black man” and how ? Because there’s a refugee mother and child surrounded by barbed wire and there are politicians with extreme views that could be the boogeyman themselves, scares it’s citizens by telling them the “black man” or the “coloured man” that is a foreigner/migrant will come and take over their livelihood which in all honesty politicians do.
Note it’s just my interpretation but there could be so many more and that’s what makes Till a Legend
Thats's also my interpretation
@@wolfgangengel4835 I’m seeing Till role playing a mad man who is now given a podium and mic to talk to the citizens and they get absorbed into his fear mongering and after the citizens have virtually destroyed his livelihood themselves building walls and buying guns they’re now stuck in limbo while the mad politician played by Till celebrated in a mist of red speaks volumes to me
@@antediluvianer I think they are using the colours of the Reichsbürger flag on purpose in the video. And the character Till plays here might be a reference to conspiracy theorists and hatespeech.
You are spot on. This is the interpretation I gathered.
@@dianabarrueto1142 I also forgot to add but a friend of mine reminded me that in the end credits the band member sitting in the sofa watching the refugee mother and child on TV are eating “Negerkusse” which really speaks volumes about how Xenophobia is transmitted
Your reactions are some of the best I've ever seen, you are open minded and I love your enthusiasm! Rammstein never ceases to amaze me!
Awesome reaction man I love your enthusiasm for Rammstein, this is my favourite track and vid, imo the best band thanks 🙏
“Fear the boogeyman!” Such a banger tho ! Love this love you for this reaction yessss just yesss
the blaack maaan
The beginning sounds exactly like the beginning of the Viking War Chant/Clap of the Iceland Footbalfans!!! That was just so amazing at the EC in 2016!!!
This music video is true MASTERPIECE :)
P.S. Rammstein fan since 1997 (:
Damn right this song was mindblowing in a stadium!
Best song on their setlist for the 2023 tour.. Absolute f'n banger!
Only Rammstein ❤️🔥 love that David Lynch feeling in the credits.
There’s a message everybody gets, consciously or not, don’t need to understand German for that. Awesome.
This band is amazing not only because they’re great artists and also keeping on track all the time instead of they already more than 20 years in this business !!! Their show is insane and all details of their music video and performances, such a wonderful job that they do it’s so incredible. Dance metal music, sound, bits, everything. No words to describe all that they do. Love forever 💜
Masterpiece like always love from Greece
I wanted to see a reaction, did a search and you were the first one that didn't purposefully stretch the reaction to over 10 minutes. Kudos!
Just some remarks:
The several times mentioned "Schwarze Mann" ("black man") is known as a child fright figure in the German-speaking area ("Wer hat Angst vorm Schwarzen Mann" = Who does fear the black man). Depending on the region and time, it was understood to mean different beings: a dark shadowy figure or a man dressed in black. As a metaphor, the "bogeyman" reached a "peak" as personalization of evil, savagery, and the unknown in the course of colonization, and in the process also acquired a racist connotation. In this context, I find the consumption of those sweets (German so-called "negro kisses") at the end during the end credits very interesting, which work through this "black man" symbolism.
Also the colors usage is interesting (Black/White/Red representing the Nazi-color Spectrum). I also found it interesting at the end of the credits that when the TV was destroyed, the color came back into the picture.
Further, I noticed that the pie-like plots seen from above correspond to the "political symbol" at the lectern where the singer, wearing a straitjacket, gives his speech. After these borders & plots collapse during the wild shoot-out, the politician, unleashed by the straitjacket to spread his propaganda/fear.
Cheering on the cheerleaders is the equivalent of pitching an idea/product and the dancers are slammed with money to sell the bricks and guns to the landowners.
This Clip has many layers and can be interpreted in many directions. I see there is a statement on xenophobia and populism/media.
Could also be a shot at the US.
Mainly because of the guns.

"pie-*slice*-like plots" :)
Lo mejor de esta canción, es que no necesitas saber que dice para saber a que se refieren y entender el video. Por ese mismo motivo dejo este comentario en español, para poder romper la barrera del idioma tambien. Saludos y mucho exito.
I love your Rammstein reactions so much! Thanks.
You are so right. It's gonna be epic hearing this in a stadium
a small thing for the end at 5:25:
they are seen eating an iconic german waffle-cake with foam, covered in chocolate. It's known as a "Schaumkuss", a "Foam-Kiss" now, but up until not long ago it was called "N*gerkuss" or "N*grokiss". We then zoom-out to what looks like people in a war-torn region reacting to that situation. In my understanding, that undermines the seemingly good nature of PC in minute details, since more pressing problems are not adressed.
Man I love your clip style!! (and Rammstein of course ^^)
Goddamn, everytime I see your moustache I am getting more jealous.
And this song.... We need to increase the term "chills". It`s so emotionally loaded
The moment he destroyed the TV and the color came back.... such a great music....Movie (!)
I mean this album, this song, and The videos are amazing. The power behind them. The artistry are incredible. I can’t stop listening!
I really love your reaction about Rammstein, you didn't stop the Video, you enjoy the Music and effects.
Rammstein rule’s, greetings from Berlin Germany 🇩🇪
the clap in the beginning - here in Australia they call that the viking-clap ... NRL Raiders are using this at the beginning of each of their games - if you ever wonder what this sounds like in a stadium environment ;)
Check out Iceland fans during Euro 2016 if you want to really hear it in effect. The use of the Icelandic Viking clap is rumoured to have originated from my hometown club, Motherwell FC, when Stjarnan travelled here for a Europa league qualifier. They liked it so much they took it home!
love your reactions !
It slaps hard! Love the album! havnt stopped listening to it since release 😁 seeing them in cardiff next month too can't f***ING wait 😆
Thumbs up for your reaction! Really! All Rammstein reactions from you are awesome. I saw Zeit and Zick Zack as well.
Damn I waited for this since they released the video. 😅
I've loved this band since I first heard them in 1997.
Masterpiece as always 🙏🏼
Rammstein is a fantastic, and favorite part of the music I love to listen.
I'm also amused to see your reactions, Angst means fear, in all its states.
So if you want it, I could translate it for you in English.
And again a legendary reaction for a new legendary video by a legend
Seeing them in September! Can't wait \m/
Seeing them in Cardiff in June , also can’t wait🔥🤟
seriously anarchist , slow but real heavy that makes me overjoyed to hear such a great song again , grateful to you Rammstein
They do a stellar job of using the video medium to their advantage!😎👍
One of the best Rammstein songs ever! Love it! Why dont you watch the videos with english subtitles? 😊
The cheerleader moves including the chanting in the beginning and the end are probably referencing the "Haka Dance" done by the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand. It is supposed to intimidate your opponents. Supposedly the band's bass player, Oliver Riedel is one of those cheerleaders, but it is not confirmed yet AFAIK. The candy which the band eats in the end was called "Negerküsse" "Negro Kisses" back in the day. The name was changed a couple of years ago.
This a modern day parable about the connection between media and violence. Brilliant.
Finally! I love your reactions
Gives me chills, even after 40x listens
Hi from Germany. Love your Videos, Bro ❤️✌️☺️
Ich danke dir für deine Videos! Danke, danke, danke!
in 5 weeks I will be seeing Rammstein live in Coventry UK , can't wait
10/10 band
10/10 bloke
Keep it up dude

(YOU.)
(YOU)
[Strophe 1]
When the children are ill-bred
Already the father has threatened
"The bogeyman, he will take you
If you don't do my bidding"
[Pre-chorus]
And we believe that to this day
So in fear are the land and the people
Something bad will happen
Evil is coming, won't go away
[Refrain]
And the fear grows into the night
Door and gates are guarded
Backs wet, hands clammy
All are afraid of the bogeyman
[Post chorus]
[You)
[Verse 2]
In darkness he creeps up
If you're not good, he'll touch you
Never trust a stranger then
So much nightmare, so much delusion
[Pre-chorus]
And so we believe to this day
Heavily armed is the mob
Oh, they can't help it
Shouting fire in the alleys
You might also like
[Refrain]
And the fear grows into the night
Not a wink of sleep
Backs wet, hands clammy
Everybody's afraid of the bogeyman

[Bridge]
Who's afraid of the bogeyman?
Who's afraid of the bogeyman?

And fear grows into the night
Not a wink of sleep
Backs wet, hands clammy
Everybody's afraid
[Outro]
[You]
[You] Bogeyman

[You] Black man
I'm a German and never was invested in rammstein, till your videos.. So thank you :)
Goosebumps!!!
Their songs and their videos are amazing, but it goes to another level if you enable the subtitle and get the translated lyrics in real-time, because they're really powerful, and politic here.
Some people in the comments have very well explained the powerful message they deliver it, but my god they do it well!
Masterpiece!
Deep meaning song ! I love them ...
You musst see them live!!! You never see a Show like this. I m from austria and saw them twice. Awsome. Change my live
RAMMSTEIN ihr seid die größten .Greetings from Germany
Most amazing is that they have been doing this for 30 years
Masterpiece
I’m seeing them in two weeks in NJ and can’t fucking wait
Once you realise it is about fear of "The black man" the video takes on a whole new dimension. One of my favourite Rammstein songs, I think.
That's the literal translation but a it also means the boogie man. Everyone is a afraid of a boogie man. Everyone has a different boogie man but often times the fear is only in your head. The media (symbilized by the TV's) also comes into play by stoking and amplifying those fears. As a result we build up walls to protect ourselves from that which we perceive as the threat which might even be our neighbor.
@@cs3818919 they use Africans at the start and end of the song...do you seriously think the double meaning is just a coincidence? The amount of people who reply with the bogey man thing (which I am well aware of) makes my brain sad
@@sugelanren I mean it's possible. But I was born in Germany and speak fluent German and that was not what I got from it. Someone else suggested that for Europeans one of the boogie men is immigration, with some of them coming from Africa and the middle East. I'm not ruling it out. Rammstein in known for double meaning and provocative themes.
@@sugelanren just curious are you German or do you speak German?
@@cs3818919 no, but my brother lives in Germany. The African mother and child in both the beginning and end, in what looks like the aftermath of the main body of the video, would lead me to believe that the double meaning was very intended.
I'm also listening to Eskimo callboy right now, they're fun
Meisterwerk! 🤘
Another killer reaction sir
cant wait to see them in 5 weeks live in hamburg, 2 days before my birthday
it's coming round fast isn't it now, after 2 years waiting! Like wait for ages and now I am thinking shit, I need to sort out transport and accommodation and all that!
Greetings from Germany 🙋🏼♂️
Very deep meaning of this song.
My fav band.Saw them twice at B.D.O.Best live show and music vids ever.That includes Tool btw.
Amazing!!
Saw them in Nijmegen, at this moment the best there is! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
this really gives me shivers ! What a freakin thing . . .
Well, let me tell it that way: Metallica had about 1.6 MILLION people on their Tushino Air Field concert in Moscow in 91.
I think Rammstein could maybe top it :-)
have to talk this way as a native German
just imagine if both bands would stick their mastermind's heads together, James and Till, doin a common festival, the world would fall on it's knees
Loved it
You did it again mr. Lindemann you teutonic madman.
Hammer
My chills are on my balls, I never heard Till scream the way that he just did, I must always rewind when listening to this song
Bro I was hoping you'd react to this tune, fuck yes :D
I bought this album 🔥🤘🏻🙏🏼
I suggest to activate the Subtitles for you! Rammstein has always had really meaningful songs, and its actually sad when you dont understand it. ;-)
When you yell yes at 4:23 it had me dying because it immediately reminded me of Beavis and Butthead
I love this video clip! Have enjoyed Rammstein when Sehnsucht hit the scene. It's a very profound opinion on modern life in the western world. So melodic! "Fear the black man. The black man is coming for you" are the main lyrics. Reminds me of horror novels I used to read with face in cobwebs.
Smash that computer! That's what we all want to do! And we are on the brink of WW3.
Another banger..enough said
That riff was seriously giving me them Madmax vibes
Para mí su significado es que a través de los medios de comunicación como estos años pasados por lo que ya sabemos nos han hecho temer desde cualquier parte del mundo , sólo hay que hacer que desconectar o romper esa caja cuadrada .
Love it 🤟❤️❤️❤️
Damn, love it how you love it. 😅
I watched the music video on Sunday and promptly translated the Angst and a few other songs and then put them on Google docs
Rammstein...😍🤘
I really love that ending. Smashing the TV aka the media gives the world its color back.
