They've had a lot of therapy sessions together in order to do this. Richard has said in a German interview that he saw every album as the last one. If it wasn't for their therapy sessions over the years, they would not still be together with the same line-up I think.
@@RAWMUSICTV he's referred to their relationship as a "sexless marriage." Heck, you can get sex anywhere, but to be fully, unconditionally in love and be successfully creative... I'd take that over almost anything.
It was 1997 when "Du Hast" was released, I was 4 years old and it blew my mind as a kid when I saw the video on MTV. I'll never forget that day and I will always remember when my Mom kept re-recording the video on VHS, so she can show my Dad once he came home from work. It blew his mind as well because we became huge fans ever since that day and Rammstein never disappointed us since. Now, fast forward 25 years later and I finally went to my first Rammstein concert here in NJ at MetLife Stadium. As in my Dad's honor, especially since it has been 10 years since he has have been gone, I made sure to not miss this show at all. I took my 64 year old rockstar Mom along with me because she's a metalhead herself and we couldn't miss this opportunity. Plus, Mom and I just couldn't stop headbanging to every song Rammstein played and we were in section 226, which was an excellent experience and I uploaded some videos myself on UA-cam. By the way, to all of you on here, Rammstein is one of my all time favorite bands and definitely the greatest band you will ever since live, which is why I recommend you all to one day go to their concert. 🎸🤘
I only wish I had learned to speak and understand German as a small child. If only my grandmother had ask me if I would like to learn her native tongue. Never too late, I guess ! Frieda Eberbach Lived to 92 a strong , wonderful woman. I look forward to seeing RAMMSTEIN in Concert before 2030. Till is afantastic Artist, and Richard can jam like a guitar Gut.
bro same! i heard their song Halleluja 1st, and its still one of my favorites. I also saw them in LA! What a SHOW! i can die in peace now that ive seen them live
Lindemann is one of the best Lead Singers and front men. His voice is astonishing, not to mention his stage presence. The man could be truely considered as GOAT. His barriton voice is comparable to opera singers.
My German speaking grandmother would have loved these guys. But she may have been freaked out as Well. Only lived 92 years old and didnt see 1990. RIP Frieda.
What's amazing is that someone can do an entire documentary on a band, without playing any of their music during it, and without needing to because we could all hear the music in our heads.
I'm from Germany, and I can confirm that Ramstein causes a huge devide in germany. Either you love them, or you don't. The don't people refer to them as Nazis. I allways loved Ramstein. I'm born 73, and considered myself lucky to Experience something new, a sound we never heard before. Funny note, when ever you start playing a Ramstein song, people regonize it imediatley as Ramstein after 5 sec.
In my opinion Rammstein is rather a very liberal act when it comes to worldview and attitude. I don't know why anyone say that people see them as Nazis. It doesn't take a PhD in history to see that Rammstein art in opposition to Nazi social model. Such a weird accusation. Good that you denied it. Thank you for your explanation. I've also noticed that social division you talk about. Some people seem to dislike them because of the irony and sarcasm they incorporate into everything, questioning history taught at school and playing with symbols, demystifying them. The band has a special place in my heart. My aunt was a huge fan and shared her passion with me. She translated the lyrics for me and explained stories behind them. I remember asking her to write the text phonetically. She refused, saying it was a crime against the language. She was the last generation who spoke German since birth and I think she wanted to inspire me to learn. I'm 26 now, my aunt's dead. All I have is memories and I regret we never went for a concert together. I'm sorry I got bit nostalgic. It's beautiful to see that art brings different people together. All best.
@@AamuAuroraRammstein is viewed as a nazi band because of the very hard, cold, almost fascist-like imagery they use. On top of that Till rolls his R's just like certain political speakers did.. ofc, its all just to be provocative but i think its understandable why they are sometimes viewed as right wing (even tho they express almost entirely leftist opinions)
@@cantinadudes they're very leftist. Maybe I'm just seasoned in identifying it, and that's why the military aesthetics in industrial never occurred to me to be facist. Thanks for the reply.
I started learning German 4 years ago primarily because of Rammstein. That should say enough of the impact the music made on me as a teenager. I love that they decided to continue singing in their native tongue. It’s surprising to hear how shy Til was considering how beautiful his voice is. Just goes to show they’re humble, down to earth guys. They’ve made one hell of an impact ❤
I did the same in 1998. Finally took my first trip to Germany and Austria this past Christmas. Beautiful country, awesome people…was definitely not a perfect German speaker, but they were so gracious in helping me out.
I met Richard after a Concert in 96..he was shy but really sweet. I remember, he apologized to me,that he had to interrupt our conversation for giving other fans some autographs. Yes, it was a very positive experience. A very grounded man. Paul was mocking my little sister who wanted an autograph ..of course with her than 15 years of age, she didn't got it, that he was just kidding her and was insulted..lol..i told him..c'mon don't do this to her. we both were laughing a little about this ..she was even more insulted, still didn't got it and i took her home. Again..nice guys.
I was born in Russia in 1993, Rammstein was the 1st band i remember falling in love with, they took Russia by a STORM, their song Halleluja was my JAM! (3 year old me rocking out to Rammstein was a thing). Ive listened to them pretty much my whole life, and as my music tastes have changed through out my life, not once did i stop listening to them. Their music is phenomenal, and honestly never in my life did I think id ever see them live. Last month, I saw them live in LA, and what a performance. HUGE check off my bucketlist. I dont think we will ever find someone quite as unique as them. Plus i dont think many bands make as many awesome songs as they do. Rammstein will never die.
I've been to countless shows since my first one at 11 years old. I also was at that the show in Los Angeles. Absolutely incredible and indescribable just how good it was. Being in the center of the stadium floor with pyro all around. That was something special. To think they were going to hang it up after the self titled album, I am glad I was able to see them, even if its just once. Nothing can top their on stage performances. I hope I can see them again.
It's good but LAIBACH as band made this music and even stage 10 years before, so Ram's are copy min 95%. Videos and narrator are great no doubt in that.
good yes, but the narrator could've at least dont research on the pronunciation of the german letters and ways words are said. Sounds kinda cringy hearing him butcher it.
This band has some of the most simplistic songs, but they all sound incredible. The guitar tones, which are absolutely PERFECT, Tills deep vocals, and the stage theatrics.....it's just a whole lot of pieces working in perfect unison. They deserve every bit of the success they've harvested and I hope they keep going for another 30 years.
It was only when I heard du hast playing on a film called high I got hooked on them Richard kruspe is an amazing guitarist till Lindemann has perfect vocals I love how he interacts with the crowd he gets bored during shows vocals etc thts why he likes to play around with fire etc I hope to meet the band one day or see one of their shows even my son who is 7 is a huge fan of Rammstein ♥️
I met and interviewed Flake several times, - the kindest and sweetest human being you can imagine. Always curious and so creative. Till's martial goggle glasses were very popular in the Berlin techno scene in the 90s. Their show visuals are actually also inspired from the underground techno parties that were going strong in Berlin back then, but their hearts beat for metal music, of course. This is a great channel, you have put so much work into your documentary. Amazing job!
I was in middle school when my sister bought me a copy of Sehnsucht and the matching shirt for my birthday. I was instantly addicted to their music. Now 25 years later, theyre still my favorite band and my love for them has only grown. I finally got to see them at the Chicago open air festival in 2016(17) I believe it was, and again this year in Philly during their stadium tour. I dont care how much it cost, i dont care where in the states I have to travel. They hands down have the best concert you will ever see and I will go every single time they come to America.
This is probably the most well planned out “professional” band to date. These guys did it all the right way with very calculated moves and homework. They all stayed relatively sober and are still going strong to this day. Any new band needs to take notes from these guys. You have Till, an ex Olympic, built swimmer with growling spoken vocals to the swagger of the the rest of the guys (each awesome in their own right) and then their awesome keyboard player Flake that plays those sweet choir like voices and has no issues with having live performance based comedy thrown his way. Plus that German swagger they have is awesome. This band has done internally what very very few have accomplished to date. Rammstein is why no band should have a “this is the way we’re supposed to sound attitude” and just make music and see what happens.
Crazy to think a guy like Till doing what he does with Rammstein was shy and wore those goggles so he couldn't see the crowd! I also remember people linking them to songs they never wrote etc people wanted to call them Nazis it was ridiculous really. So glad we got the absolute masterpiece album Mutter and everything else they've done 🤘🤘
He still has massive stage fright even now in 2024 he suffers with it. He changed tactic many years back so they made their stage shows even more epic and covering the stage so the audience isn't just focused on him as a singer they are focused all over the stage and because of that he no longer wears glasses just changed how he deals with it 😊
Saw them for the first time live in August this year in Montreal, their only Canadian date. They put on the best show I've ever seen and (like most of them) I'm in my mid-50s. Not just the stunts and pyro and lights, though of course they helped....but the sheer musicianship. They are all so attuned to one another, so musically tight that it's almost frightening. Thank you for covering them, doing them justice and NOT mangling how 'Rammstein' is pronounced :-)
@@fantasmaparanormal1996 there were only abouy 40k of us Canucks there in Montreal, but from all over Canada, which is a very large country....they were amazing
I was at that same show. I've also seen them 3 times before in Montreal. They are the best live performers of all time and I don't say that lightly. I've seen many huge bands like Metallica and they are way better. I always say, you haven't seen a live show until you've seen Rammstein.
I learned German just so I could understand their lyrics. I wound up getting a BA in German language and literature. My first major concert was the Family Values Tour. Rammstein was the headliner. By some miracle, I got to meet the band, got a kiss on the cheek from Richard, and got his autograph tattooed on my shoulder. Ich hab euch ganz lieb, Jungs!
When I heard Du Hast on the radio I was instantly a fan..I love Sehnsucht..then I ended up checking out Herzeleid and loved it. My friend and I was got a chance to see them in concert when they came to New York and I have to say their concert is a sight to behold!! The pyrotechnics was amazing, the acts on stage jaw dropping, music solid!! Definitely will forever be on the top of my list for concerts…simply amazing!!
one of the best bands of all time. got to see them in LA and by far it was the best concert i've ever been to, my wife isnt even a metal fan and she said it was the best concert she had ever seen. Love you Rammstein
Thank you so much for this. I am absolutely a fan of their music, listening to them almost every day, and i wish it so bad that everyone who listens to them, would understand all the lyrics.Till is simply a genius.
The problem with Rammstein is; there was so many other things I wanted to include in this but a lot of the topics are 18+ (R Rated) subjects so I would risk violating UA-cam policies. I am considering an entire video on Rammstein lyrics and the meaning behind them but it just might not be viable for UA-cam.
Their videos often contain nudity but in an artistic way and that's why youtube doesn't block it or blurr it out. Just try it. Their story has to be told.
I’m 54, and I’m a new rammstein fan, yeah I know I missed a lot. Have a whole new respect for this band knowing where the came from. In the early 80’s I was in Berlin and my thought about East Germany was, it looked sad and dreary. Thank God the wall fell. Whoever put this video together did an excellent job I might add.
I love them so much with all my heart 💖 Hilariously Alter Mann was the very first song I heard of them. Usually for others it's always Du Hast, but I had an oddball pick. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
My grandson is three .His favourite song is du hast! Impressive being Rammstein will be his influential part in his journey in creating and playing music!!!
When I first heard Rammstein I bought a cassette of the lost highway soundtrack I didn’t know who they were all songs were very mellow until I hear this solid electric guitar 🎸 riffs and hear them speaking German. I was blown away I was like who the hell was that! Rewinding the tape multiple times just to hear that one ☝️ song 🎧I knew they were something special!
I remember listening to their music as a small child. It immediately stuck with me. I’ve been a fan since ever I could remember. I’ve had a hard shitty life and at my loneliest their music was there with me. I have never ending respect and love for them. A legend, Rammstein.
I’m amazed how they’ve managed to stay the same after all these years, the new album with Angst is the best rammstein riff you’ll ever hear. I’ve never known till was shy, it made me chuckle and think so different now, good to see he became less shy as the years grew! Well i’m off to listening Rammstein!!
When you watch (rare) interviews with him, you'll see that he is not only shy, but behaves introvert to almost autistic. I am German so probably it's easier to find some content, but he gives an extremely uncomfortable impression when he's not performing on stage. Also he expresses himself in a very strange manner. He is really weird... Often, they put up Flake or Richard for longer interviews.
Hands down the best live show in music is put on by Rammstein!! It’s so much more than a rock show, it really is an experience. The fact that the lineup has never changed is also remarkable and it reflects in their on-stage chemistry and presence. Long live Rammstein!!
Even the Kaiser Chiefs have had a change of drummer in 2014 because of a clash of two strong personalities. The drummer was Nick Hodgson a multi instrumentalist who also wrote some of the lyrics.
I agree - in Prague 2022. i made out (+ a little more) with my girl, then with a sweaty skinny czech guy, then she did with his girlfriend. Safe to say it was one of the best nights of our life.
@@rugierro It was Richard who started all that as he had been seeing a therapist alone while living in New York. There are two types of group therapy. One type is overseen by a facilitator where the members bring individual problems and everyone else asks further questions and offers suggestions and support. The other type is where a group of related people air problems they have with each other and it is overseen by a therapist whose job is to get to the bottom of the issues they have with each other. An example is family therapy. I tried to get a neighbour arbitration service involved when I had problems with neighbours twice but the male neighbours didn't want to know. The arbitrators will get to the bottom of what you really want rather than deal with what is on the surface. The neighbours probably didn't want to get to the bottom of why they were behaving like they did.
Someone only has to look at the artistry and dedication they put into their videos let alone their music to realize that they're a gift I praise them for standing up amongst adversity to be the band that they become
I was 15 when I got to see them live on the first Family Values tour in 1998 - with Korn headlining, Limp Bizkit, Orgy and Ice Cube. Rammstein BLEW every other band out of the water with their pyrotechnics, including shooting a flaming arrow on a line all the way across the arena. I've NEVER seen any band or act come close to their live shows, and probably never will in my lifetime. If you get the chance to see them live, GO. The money is DEFINITELY worth it!
This band is awesome! I love the shock and provocative stage shows they have. I love anything shocking, controversial and anything that pushes the limits of what's acceptable in society. Whether intentional or not, it's definitely awesome! The fact they were constantly shut down and deemed "too offensive" yet still made an amazing career out of it just makes me love them more lol. Awesome documentary! 🤘🤘
German artists often do it e.g. German cabaret is very hard and direct but on an intelligent level. Try Volker Pispers or Serdar Somuncu 😉 there are some translated videos.
The performance in New York is noteworthy. When he yelled at the firecracker he should run away and later he should piss off. Of course, he had disturbed the performance. The man was, of course, a stuntman.
Rammstein is the BEST band EVER. I’ve been a fan since 1996 & have seen them 11 times now. They are my favorite band and will be so until the day I die.
I am so happy I found this. I never checked out the band except for Du Hast...now I really am interested. I think this is actually an important video in our time today! Our species needs to learn how to behave as human beings.
In Australia the Lost Highway soundtrack came out..and I was like what the hell was this??!! AWESOME..lucky I understand a fair bit of German..and yeah one of my top favourite bands..they still blow me away today.
I've been a drummer my whole life and during my highschool days I turned metal. Almost 25 years later I heard of Ramstien. The guitarist of my band is a European Spanish. He loves the band. My co-worker from Mexico reborn Christian was a huge fan. I came across one short and I am now amazed at what I am catching up with. I'm shocked that I let this slide by me with no interest at all. It's not a crime to love your land. Rock on Ramstien. 🤘
My mum spent eight months looking for that disc. We had to go three hours away to the mall of America. Best wait for my 12th birthday. It was a journey of a lifetime. One of my favorite journeys.
I began to learn German solely because of this band! Then just made sense to teach myself, since my family has roots to Germany. These guys fucking rule!
The opening scene in the XXX movie blew my mind. Had no idea who they were and after that scene, didnt really care much about the rest of the movie. Just wanted to see the rest of the show by the band. Incredible. Simply incredible.
I was at the Halloween show in'98. It was a pretty fkin epic show. Also went to MSG show in NYC in 2010. If you ever get a chance to see em...please do yourself a favor and make it happen!! 🤘
Thank you- I needed this as the band is somewhat of a conundrum with hardly any information available about them. They put on a killer show. Let’s not kid- the best I have seen in my 30 year concert-going-tenure. Cannot wait for the European tour in 2023!
What an amazing, insightful documentary. Being a pretty die hard Ranmstein fan I knew about 80% of this stuff but it still felt great to re-learn a bunch of cool facts about the band's upbringing and impact on the world. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of knowledge.
Of course being in Orlando FL... I was introduced to the band with Du Hast! When I borrowed the CD from my BFF at the times Bro... I was WHOA!!! then found an OG pressing of Herzalied at like BestBuy... in 7th grade! That CD became my fave!!! There was absolutely NO INFO U COULD FIND OUT ABOUT THEM!! especially being a poor kid with no computer or internet! After like 6 years I took a break for a while. While at a Used DVD store I found the VOKERBALL DVD!!!! THAT showed me a WHOLLLEEEE other half of their music I'd missed! Was re WHOA!! again! Sadly!.. I let people borrow really rad things like that and they never give then back or just disappear with all my stuff they borrowed! Great piece here! I would've take a hammer the the hands (like in the film CASINO) to have this info back then!!! Kudos on a great piece of art guys!!!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻🍻🍻😎😎🤩🍸🍸🍹
Great to see this! I love this band so much! It's also hilarious how American and British people get so upset about their lyrics and performances. They always crack me up me with their antics and at the same time make me think with their wit. Great band!
That's quite a generalization. Rammstein is my all-time favorite and I'm American. (My mom is from Germany, though) So don't judge all people from the comments of some woke losers on the internet
Saw Rammstein at Family values tour back in the early 90s in Cleveland with ice cube, Korn, limp Bizkit and Orgy. They we're amazing then and just as amazing now 💯❤️🔥🔥🤘
I FKN love your channel. It's so raw. So in-depth. So respectful. And so professional. You've got no idea what you're contributing to the metal community with your content. Will you ever do a docu on the history of Hellfest, and other metal concert festivals? I think that corner of the metal world has got a lot of untapped stories.
Really appreciate that! Just trying to leave some sort of educational archive for future Rock and Metal fans! Festivals would be very interesting to cover, there's a lot of crazy stories out there so I'll most likely do a series on that in the future! Thanks for the support!
This was cool. I really appreciate how the history of the nation was integrated with their personal journeys and public perception. I do find it funny that I heard music clips from like 8 different artists, none of which were Rammstein ;) I had a chance to see them in the early 2000's when they were touring for Mutter. Absolutely incredible. I've not had the chance to see them since. :(
I have ALL THEIR CDs and I've seen them in concert!!!!! I LOVE THEIR MUSIC !!!!!!! I looked up what the songs mean in english!!!! One song is an english lullaby
for short; brutal and direct but effectively very daring. A brave group exposed to controversy. I can say that this is one of the bands that you and I listen to, which will never be in a place comparable to the well-known bands, but will be hidden in a very special place 🤧♥︎ ᵕ̈

I'm amazed that it's still the same six guys almost 30 years later. Nobody's quit, nobody's died. LIFAD.
They've had a lot of therapy sessions together in order to do this. Richard has said in a German interview that he saw every album as the last one. If it wasn't for their therapy sessions over the years, they would not still be together with the same line-up I think.
Especially for being an "edgy" band too.

@@lapislazarus8899 That's a hard one but I think I agree.
That really is almost unbelievable, but there it is.
I can well believe their need for assistance.
You know a band is legendary when you need a history lesson to introduce them.
Maybe in this context, but otherwise I'm not so sure they need an introduction at all. I find that much more legendary.
I love how it has the feel of a war documentary interspersed with photos of the band. It made me smile because I love both so to me this is a dream!
That's very well said.
😂
Aaand if your sister’s German teacher is showing/playing songs of Rammstein 🤘🤣
You know how big of a deal they are :)

should have seen the latest tour! UNBELIEVABLE!!! Best concert of any band I've ever seen!

To think they were going to hang it up after the self titled album, I am glad I was able to see them, even if its just once. Nothing can top their on stage performances. I hope I can see them again.
your last sentence........ eeehhhh yes 😂
I learned to speak German because of this band. Hats off gentlemen, hats off.
The favorite documentary channel and narrator of musicians...
Killer work...
You are too kind!
Du hast mes ! Das gud 👍
I want to hear more about German band -Blutengel!!!
It's good but LAIBACH as band made this music and even stage 10 years before, so Ram's are copy min 95%. Videos and narrator are great no doubt in that.
good yes, but the narrator could've at least dont research on the pronunciation of the german letters and ways words are said. Sounds kinda cringy hearing him butcher it.
This band has some of the most simplistic songs, but they all sound incredible. The guitar tones, which are absolutely PERFECT, Tills deep vocals, and the stage theatrics.....it's just a whole lot of pieces working in perfect unison. They deserve every bit of the success they've harvested and I hope they keep going for another 30 years.
It was only when I heard du hast playing on a film called high I got hooked on them Richard kruspe is an amazing guitarist till Lindemann has perfect vocals I love how he interacts with the crowd he gets bored during shows vocals etc thts why he likes to play around with fire etc I hope to meet the band one day or see one of their shows even my son who is 7 is a huge fan of Rammstein ♥️
👍...well said, Sir - Amen to that! 🔥🔥🔥And thanks to RAWMUSICTV for posting this great documentary. Best regards from Berlin.
I met and interviewed Flake several times, - the kindest and sweetest human being you can imagine. Always curious and so creative. Till's martial goggle glasses were very popular in the Berlin techno scene in the 90s. Their show visuals are actually also inspired from the underground techno parties that were going strong in Berlin back then, but their hearts beat for metal music, of course. This is a great channel, you have put so much work into your documentary. Amazing job!
I've heard a lot about all of the guys being super sweet. Till seems quite intimidating though haha.
@@VampiraVonGhoulscout he is just terribly shy.
@@claudia.k.g.1271 I get that vibe. I've heard he's really nice too.
A lot of goggles were left over because of Germany's forays into snowy territories during the war. Punks co-opting war materials.

I was in middle school when my sister bought me a copy of Sehnsucht and the matching shirt for my birthday. I was instantly addicted to their music. Now 25 years later, theyre still my favorite band and my love for them has only grown. I finally got to see them at the Chicago open air festival in 2016(17) I believe it was, and again this year in Philly during their stadium tour. I dont care how much it cost, i dont care where in the states I have to travel. They hands down have the best concert you will ever see and I will go every single time they come to America.
This is probably the most well planned out “professional” band to date. These guys did it all the right way with very calculated moves and homework. They all stayed relatively sober and are still going strong to this day. Any new band needs to take notes from these guys. You have Till, an ex Olympic, built swimmer with growling spoken vocals to the swagger of the the rest of the guys (each awesome in their own right) and then their awesome keyboard player Flake that plays those sweet choir like voices and has no issues with having live performance based comedy thrown his way. Plus that German swagger they have is awesome. This band has done internally what very very few have accomplished to date. Rammstein is why no band should have a “this is the way we’re supposed to sound attitude” and just make music and see what happens.
Crazy to think a guy like Till doing what he does with Rammstein was shy and wore those goggles so he couldn't see the crowd! I also remember people linking them to songs they never wrote etc people wanted to call them Nazis it was ridiculous really. So glad we got the absolute masterpiece album Mutter and everything else they've done 🤘🤘
He still has massive stage fright even now in 2024 he suffers with it. He changed tactic many years back so they made their stage shows even more epic and covering the stage so the audience isn't just focused on him as a singer they are focused all over the stage and because of that he no longer wears glasses just changed how he deals with it 😊
Seeing them in concert is on my bucket list. The videos look insane
I saw them earlier this year, it's an indescribable experience.
Yes, yes!!! You MUST! ❤️I saw them in September! Best show ever!!
Best lyrics, and best simple, but soooo heavy riffs!! And, still on top of their game, given their last two albums. There only getting better!!!!
The lyrics are deep and meaningful, but most of it gets lost in translation
Agree…
I saw them in San Antonio last year. Thirty years as a group hasn't dulled their edge.
Mutter was the first album my mom ever bought for me, don't speak a lick of German but did pick some up with 2 decades of being a Rammstein listener!
Saw them for the first time live in August this year in Montreal, their only Canadian date. They put on the best show I've ever seen and (like most of them) I'm in my mid-50s. Not just the stunts and pyro and lights, though of course they helped....but the sheer musicianship. They are all so attuned to one another, so musically tight that it's almost frightening. Thank you for covering them, doing them justice and NOT mangling how 'Rammstein' is pronounced :-)
Saw them in Cardiff back in June. Seeing my favourite band ever at my very first gig in a stadium of 70,000 people or so was a hell of experience!!
@@fantasmaparanormal1996 there were only abouy 40k of us Canucks there in Montreal, but from all over Canada, which is a very large country....they were amazing
I was at that same show. I've also seen them 3 times before in Montreal. They are the best live performers of all time and I don't say that lightly. I've seen many huge bands like Metallica and they are way better. I always say, you haven't seen a live show until you've seen Rammstein.
Why am I just finding this band I graduated high school in 86 I should have known...lol..
Hey!! I was there too :)
It was also my first time seeing them live, it was life changing.
I had no idea how much history Rammstein has. Amazing. Great documentary.
I learned German just so I could understand their lyrics. I wound up getting a BA in German language and literature. My first major concert was the Family Values Tour. Rammstein was the headliner. By some miracle, I got to meet the band, got a kiss on the cheek from Richard, and got his autograph tattooed on my shoulder.
Ich hab euch ganz lieb, Jungs!
When I heard Du Hast on the radio I was instantly a fan..I love Sehnsucht..then I ended up checking out Herzeleid and loved it.
My friend and I was got a chance to see them in concert when they came to New York and I have to say their concert is a sight to behold!! The pyrotechnics was amazing, the acts on stage jaw dropping, music solid!! Definitely will forever be on the top of my list for concerts…simply amazing!!
Hands down my favorite band of all time! I've seen them twice! They never disappoint 👊🏿
Rammstein got me into music when i was likw 10
im 29 now and theyre still my favorite band ever
one of the best bands of all time. got to see them in LA and by far it was the best concert i've ever been to, my wife isnt even a metal fan and she said it was the best concert she had ever seen. Love you Rammstein
"simulated a sexual act with one another" That is a very generous way to describe the performance of Buck Dich.
Thank you so much for this. I am absolutely a fan of their music, listening to them almost every day, and i wish it so bad that everyone who listens to them, would understand all the lyrics.Till is simply a genius.
Rammdiction can't be healed ❤️🔥
Seen them in Chicago in September and it blew my mind! Best performers on the planet! 🖤🤘
You SAW them, not SEEN them.
I hope you do a part 2! I’d love to learn more about their inspirations behind the songs.
The problem with Rammstein is; there was so many other things I wanted to include in this but a lot of the topics are 18+ (R Rated) subjects so I would risk violating UA-cam policies. I am considering an entire video on Rammstein lyrics and the meaning behind them but it just might not be viable for UA-cam.
@@RAWMUSICTV pls put the link. Trust me we will watch it. I’m not into pron but I visited a site just to see pssy. We will be there
Their videos often contain nudity but in an artistic way and that's why youtube doesn't block it or blurr it out. Just try it.
Their story has to be told.
@@RAWMUSICTV If you do that, please include Mein Teil. What a messed up story that is!
@@RAWMUSICTV Maybe you could upload a full documentary version elsewhere where it's allowed to show explicit content?
Hands down THE *BEST* concert show I have ever seen. Rammstein doesn't play, they burn! \m/
I’m 54, and I’m a new rammstein fan, yeah I know I missed a lot. Have a whole new respect for this band knowing where the came from. In the early 80’s I was in Berlin and my thought about East Germany was, it looked sad and dreary. Thank God the wall fell.
Whoever put this video together did an excellent job I might add.
I can't express how much I love this band!
I saw them in concert in 1993 and I have ALL THEIR CD'S !! I LOVE THEIR MUSIC !!!! ALL OF IT !!!!! Its the music, nothing else..talented musicians!!
Born 1984 big Rammstein fan since about 24 years or so..i just went to two concerts and they're just so freaking amazing..this band is legendary
I love them so much with all my heart 💖
Hilariously Alter Mann was the very first song I heard of them. Usually for others it's always Du Hast, but I had an oddball pick. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
My grandson is three .His favourite song is du hast! Impressive being Rammstein will be his influential part in his journey in creating and playing music!!!
Wild to see I am not alone in learning german just because of Rammstein
When I first heard Rammstein I bought a cassette of the lost highway soundtrack I didn’t know who they were all songs were very mellow until I hear this solid electric guitar 🎸 riffs and hear them speaking German. I was blown away I was like who the hell was that! Rewinding the tape multiple times just to hear that one ☝️ song 🎧I knew they were something special!
😂😂😂😂😂😂exactly
I wonder how many kids like me and my sister took german for our high school language class because we wanted to understand rammstein lyrics 🤔🤔
I did lol
Took it for 5 years and was almost fluent. I've forgotten more than I learned though 😂. Maybe I'll get back into it.
@@krspykreame1 lol same
just got out of a german class and hell yeah, this is exactly why i’m taking them lol
I remember listening to their music as a small child. It immediately stuck with me. I’ve been a fan since ever I could remember. I’ve had a hard shitty life and at my loneliest their music was there with me. I have never ending respect and love for them. A legend, Rammstein.
I’m amazed how they’ve managed to stay the same after all these years, the new album with Angst is the best rammstein riff you’ll ever hear.
I’ve never known till was shy, it made me chuckle and think so different now, good to see he became less shy as the years grew!
Well i’m off to listening Rammstein!!
When you watch (rare) interviews with him, you'll see that he is not only shy, but behaves introvert to almost autistic. I am German so probably it's easier to find some content, but he gives an extremely uncomfortable impression when he's not performing on stage. Also he expresses himself in a very strange manner. He is really weird... Often, they put up Flake or Richard for longer interviews.
Hands down the best live show in music is put on by Rammstein!! It’s so much more than a rock show, it really is an experience. The fact that the lineup has never changed is also remarkable and it reflects in their on-stage chemistry and presence. Long live Rammstein!!
Totally true. I've been to hundreds of concerts. They are the best live performance band I've ever seen. I wish they would tour the US more often.
Even the Kaiser Chiefs have had a change of drummer in 2014 because of a clash of two strong personalities. The drummer was Nick Hodgson a multi instrumentalist who also wrote some of the lyrics.
I agree - in Prague 2022. i made out (+ a little more) with my girl, then with a sweaty skinny czech guy, then she did with his girlfriend. Safe to say it was one of the best nights of our life.
They've been to group therapy, among other things, in order to keep it together.
@@rugierro It was Richard who started all that as he had been seeing a therapist alone while living in New York.
There are two types of group therapy. One type is overseen by a facilitator where the members bring individual problems and everyone else asks further questions and offers suggestions and support. The other type is where a group of related people air problems they have with each other and it is overseen by a therapist whose job is to get to the bottom of the issues they have with each other. An example is family therapy.
I tried to get a neighbour arbitration service involved when I had problems with neighbours twice but the male neighbours didn't want to know. The arbitrators will get to the bottom of what you really want rather than deal with what is on the surface. The neighbours probably didn't want to get to the bottom of why they were behaving like they did.
I'm thankful I was able to see them live just once, one experience that will never be forgotten
Zeit is what I listen to while I run. Rammstein creates powerful music. Great video.
Rammstein, the reason so many rock fans learned German.......and they're incredibly good.
"were not aware they had to wear more clothing." Actually choked on my toke when I heard that!
I wish this episode was longer. Great work
Despite the many facts, so much story was left out that it could have been a 2 hour documentary.
@@tosa2522 i would gladly watch a two hour documentary on Rammstein
@@tosa2522 4 hours if David Lynch would make it 😁
@@CavHDeu 👍🤘
As an old old who fan this band intrigues me.
Someone only has to look at the artistry and dedication they put into their videos let alone their music to realize that they're a gift I praise them for standing up amongst adversity to be the band that they become
Saw them last month in Foxbrough Mass!
Nice! Saw them back in June...INSANE SHOW!
July ❤️🔥 and next year firezone 🤘🏻😎
Nice!
Such an amazing band! They're phenomenal! 'Kein Lust' is my favorite! 🖤🖤🖤
Same
Awesome video too
I was 15 when I got to see them live on the first Family Values tour in 1998 - with Korn headlining, Limp Bizkit, Orgy and Ice Cube.
Rammstein BLEW every other band out of the water with their pyrotechnics, including shooting a flaming arrow on a line all the way across the arena.
I've NEVER seen any band or act come close to their live shows, and probably never will in my lifetime.
If you get the chance to see them live, GO. The money is DEFINITELY worth it!
This band is awesome! I love the shock and provocative stage shows they have. I love anything shocking, controversial and anything that pushes the limits of what's acceptable in society. Whether intentional or not, it's definitely awesome! The fact they were constantly shut down and deemed "too offensive" yet still made an amazing career out of it just makes me love them more lol. Awesome documentary! 🤘🤘
There were so many other things I wanted to include but the video would probably get taken down by UA-cam 🤣
German artists often do it e.g. German cabaret is very hard and direct but on an intelligent level.
Try Volker Pispers or Serdar Somuncu 😉 there are some translated videos.
The performance in New York is noteworthy. When he yelled at the firecracker he should run away and later he should piss off. Of course, he had disturbed the performance. The man was, of course, a stuntman.
They are legends! My brother introduced me at six years old and i love 'em til now. And today I'm 31.
Happy belated birthdayyyyyyyyy
I first heard Rammstein when i was 19 in india. Now at 39, i attended their concert Vienna (2023). Amazing experience.
110% american here, and i absolutely love the music they produced! Love em
Rammstein is the BEST band EVER. I’ve been a fan since 1996 & have seen them 11 times now. They are my favorite band and will be so until the day I die.
I am so happy I found this. I never checked out the band except for Du Hast...now I really am interested. I think this is actually an important video in our time today! Our species needs to learn how to behave as human beings.
In Australia the Lost Highway soundtrack came out..and I was like what the hell was this??!! AWESOME..lucky I understand a fair bit of German..and yeah one of my top favourite bands..they still blow me away today.
I love Rammstein mostly because of the riffs. Heavy and simple. I'll take heavy and simple over technical playing any day.
Simple yet perfect riffs and beautiful and powerful lyrics. And we can’t forget the showmanship of the entire band and the delivery of Tills voice.
@@climber950 the music is not so simple,just sounds it
I've been a drummer my whole life and during my highschool days I turned metal. Almost 25 years later I heard of Ramstien. The guitarist of my band is a European Spanish. He loves the band. My co-worker from Mexico reborn Christian was a huge fan. I came across one short and I am now amazed at what I am catching up with. I'm shocked that I let this slide by me with no interest at all. It's not a crime to love your land. Rock on Ramstien. 🤘
I saw Rammstein a few month ago in Chicago and it was the best concert I've ever been to!
Saw them in San Antonio a couple months ago, best show ever!!! Can't wait to get feuerzone someday
I'm 49 (yes, I'm old, get off my lawn), Australian and took high school German in 1986. I absolutely rocked out to 'Sehnsucht' in 1998(?).
My mum spent eight months looking for that disc. We had to go three hours away to the mall of America. Best wait for my 12th birthday. It was a journey of a lifetime. One of my favorite journeys.
I began to learn German solely because of this band!
Then just made sense to teach myself, since my family has roots to Germany. These guys fucking rule!
Great video, good history. I'm 75 my son introduced me to Rammstein a few years ago.
The opening scene in the XXX movie blew my mind. Had no idea who they were and after that scene, didnt really care much about the rest of the movie. Just wanted to see the rest of the show by the band. Incredible. Simply incredible.
I know right the they were dress i was like wtf who are these demons jajaja
I was at the Halloween show in'98. It was a pretty fkin epic show. Also went to MSG show in NYC in 2010. If you ever get a chance to see em...please do yourself a favor and make it happen!! 🤘
I truly have loved this band since their beginning.
Thinking that a dude like Till could be shy blows my away.
Most amazing concert I ever saw
Its so weird to know that I was in Germany when this band started, and I would blast their songs while zooming down the autobahn.
Thank you- I needed this as the band is somewhat of a conundrum with hardly any information available about them. They put on a killer show. Let’s not kid- the best I have seen in my 30 year concert-going-tenure. Cannot wait for the European tour in 2023!
What an amazing, insightful documentary. Being a pretty die hard Ranmstein fan I knew about 80% of this stuff but it still felt great to re-learn a bunch of cool facts about the band's upbringing and impact on the world. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of knowledge.
Of course being in Orlando FL... I was introduced to the band with Du Hast!
When I borrowed the CD from my BFF at the times Bro... I was WHOA!!!
then found an OG pressing of Herzalied at like BestBuy... in 7th grade!
That CD became my fave!!!
There was absolutely NO INFO U COULD FIND OUT ABOUT THEM!!
especially being a poor kid with no computer or internet!
After like 6 years I took a break for a while.
While at a Used DVD store I found the VOKERBALL DVD!!!!
THAT showed me a WHOLLLEEEE other half of their music I'd missed! Was re WHOA!! again!
Sadly!.. I let people borrow really rad things like that and they never give then back or just disappear with all my stuff they borrowed!
Great piece here! I would've take a hammer the the hands (like in the film CASINO) to have this info back then!!!
Kudos on a great piece of art guys!!!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻🍻🍻😎😎🤩🍸🍸🍹
Been my favourite band for 15 years now, their shows are in incredible, hope next tour they stop in Western Canada.
Great to see this! I love this band so much! It's also hilarious how American and British people get so upset about their lyrics and performances. They always crack me up me with their antics and at the same time make me think with their wit. Great band!
That's quite a generalization. Rammstein is my all-time favorite and I'm American. (My mom is from Germany, though) So don't judge all people from the comments of some woke losers on the internet
@@sarahbritt1234 doesn't have anything to do with "woke"
I love them and I have a huge crush on till lol ❤😂
Yes I now have a man crush lol
The greatest live band EVER.
Saw Rammstein at Family values tour back in the early 90s in Cleveland with ice cube, Korn, limp Bizkit and Orgy. They we're amazing then and just as amazing now 💯❤️🔥🔥🤘
Brilliance is the word for this band. From One of many UK fans for as long as I can remember !
They always taught history in their own way and keep with humility and understanding. I still jam them
I FKN love your channel. It's so raw. So in-depth. So respectful. And so professional. You've got no idea what you're contributing to the metal community with your content.
Will you ever do a docu on the history of Hellfest, and other metal concert festivals? I think that corner of the metal world has got a lot of untapped stories.
Really appreciate that! Just trying to leave some sort of educational archive for future Rock and Metal fans!
Festivals would be very interesting to cover, there's a lot of crazy stories out there so I'll most likely do a series on that in the future! Thanks for the support!
My God, until the age of 70, the movie was on TV. I thought it was very good. Maybe too good?
This was cool. I really appreciate how the history of the nation was integrated with their personal journeys and public perception. I do find it funny that I heard music clips from like 8 different artists, none of which were Rammstein ;)
I had a chance to see them in the early 2000's when they were touring for Mutter. Absolutely incredible. I've not had the chance to see them since. :(
I saw them at Family Values in ‘98 and have been in love ever since. It was EPIC! What I saw in Philly was definitely pushing the limits 😂
God I love Rammstein more than I could ever express, thanks for the amazing video brother.
Can’t believe they are such humble guys considering their quality music. Couldn’t design any of this. Thank goodness Rammstein stuck to who they were.
Till is still such a beautiful, ruggedly handsome man at 60 years old.
I am blown away! So very, very glad to have watched this!
One off my favorite band, saw the live for the first time in 2019 in Ullevål Stadium in Norway, i never will forget😎🤘🔥🇧🇻
Need to see them live they look and sound incredible
Saw them live in 2022, the most incredible experience!
This is the best documentary on Rammstein I have ever seen. Very well done.
I have ALL THEIR CDs and I've seen them in concert!!!!! I LOVE THEIR MUSIC !!!!!!! I looked up what the songs mean in english!!!! One song is an english lullaby
for short; brutal and direct but effectively very daring. A brave group exposed to controversy. I can say that this is one of the bands that you and I listen to, which will never be in a place comparable to the well-known bands, but will be hidden in a very special place 🤧♥︎ ᵕ̈
Rammstein was part of my career from day one. Thanks to the video Engel, I got a Mohawk. Danke Rammstein!!! ❤️💛🖤
RAMMSTEIN - PLEASE DONT STOP MAKING YOUR MUSIC !!!
