Wow, this is spectacular! The song itself is alright, but the lyrics are absolutely amazing and incredibly powerful. I love it! Amazing song writing, seriously spectacular.
Oomph is fucking incredible. Incredible vocals, heavy as hell riffs and beats that move your feet and make you headbang. I'd love to see these guys tour the U.S.
Medieval Germany after the fall of the Roman Empire was subject to being within the yolk of unstable, religious-state control. it was from this worsening institution that the 30 years wars culminated, which saw one of the worst massacres the German peoples have ever experienced; rivalling even WWII. It was believed this event shaped Germany’s ultra-militaristic war culture.
What's wrong with enjoying something not in your own language? I don't have to speak German to enjoy the music. That's sort of a rude thing to say.."Keep German things German". There's nothing wrong with sharing your music with people who don't know the language. And if you'll notice, there are english translations on this video, I assume for people who don't know German in the first place. There's no need to be selective in who can comment and in what language.
Even as a 100% Beliver i like this song, the beauty of any form of hearn, audio, visual or otherwise, its regardless of what the writer-creator meant when they make it, its still up to interreption and can be understood diffrently by diffrent pov
@snes317 Well, yes. Grammar is a important part of the german language. Instead of "the" we use "der" (male), "die" (female) and "das" (neutrum). That´s just one example. Here´s another one: gift means in german "Geschenk" while "Gift" has the meaning of poison. You should watch out for the familar words because they often have a different meaning in german. I hope i wasn´t writing much. ^^
little translation fault^^ "Dann wird das Menschsein zum Schafott"= "then humanity will become a gallow" It doesn't say thet humanity goes to the gallow, it says that humanity is a way to kill
@AlienGh0st Well, it is about how humans invented god. You need atheism as premise, even the song is not about atheism. Besides the translation is not accurate, so maybe you get it wrong. For example it actual says: "If you want to be a human and no animal, put god into your territory. So being a human will be the gallow - animals dont need a god." That has a different meaning than the not accurate translation in the video.
@AddictedToAnimecrack Agreed dude. Rammstein is my favorite band, and people are always like "But you don't even know what they are saying!".......SO!? And yes I do hahah
@GeistvonWut its awesome language and if u like this german music learn german not every german can speak english i can but dont know if the others can and want to keep german things german
lol religious people should just stop being stuck up in the comments XD if theres anything i hate more than religion its people who judge others based on BELIEF im atheist and i despise it when christians call us names and declare that we are all arrogant or harmful like wtf grow up. if OOMPH!'s members' beliefs make you dislike the band i feel sorry for you.
A REAL and TRUE Christian doesn't judge ANYONE, including atheists. A person that calls another person negative names because their beliefs are different is not following the Christian religion correctly. The Christianity religion teaches to treat EVERYONE with respect and "love thy neighbor" regardless of ANY reason. Next time, just remind them this- "If you knew the Bible, then you would know it clearly states, 'Do not judge or you will be judged' and 'He that is without sin shall cast (throw) the first stone.'" It sounds like these people are the hypocrites that give Christians a bad name. It makes me angry because I am a Christian and I respect everyone as opposed to acting like I'm better than anyone else. Please believe that true Christianity is not ever supposed to be judgmental and never treats another person negatively. You don't deserve to be judged. I don't deserve to be judged and neither does anyone else. We are all human beings and we all deserve respect regardless of beliefs, religion, race, gender etc.
Except the vast majority of atheists act exactly how you describe. They go around mocking people's beliefs, poking fun at them because they can, and people like Bill Maher are the flagship perpetrators as he does this needlessly.
catastrophucked Ridicule is just a harsher form of criticism. Religion deserves criticism. Especially in America, where (despite a clearly established separation of church and state) politicians often propose bills/laws that would deprive people of their rights based on obvious religious biases. Some of these proposals even get accepted. That shouldn't happen. An elected official should leave their religion at home or in church. They shouldn't take it to the office with them.
this song isnt about athiesm. athiesm means you dont believe in god and i did not here anything in this song saying they didnt believe in god. this song is about people who use religion to get wat they want and tous god as a shield to hide behind
Menschsein = being human Humanity = Menschheit Leider fällt mir in deinen Videos oft auf, dass du englisch net so gut kannst... Aber man versteht was es heißen soll
@SteinUndStahl666 my point is that i hate arrogant athiest trying to say their is no god and that if their was a god then why do some many bad things happen.
"Gods are for species that betray themselves."
That actually makes perfect sense.
This song is so sick. Brings back good memories, too.
Thus song has the most DELICIOUS guitar I've heard in a while.
Wow, this is spectacular! The song itself is alright, but the lyrics are absolutely amazing and incredibly powerful. I love it! Amazing song writing, seriously spectacular.

I love the more people love Oomph and good German Metal Music. Just proving Schlager and German /Austro Pop is trash

I suppose "good on you" if you can believe something untrue.
I love that song...^.^

Ich brauche keine Kirche die mir sagt was ich zu glauben habe. Glaube und Religion sind zwei ganz unterschiedliche Dinge :)
Holzmich wo du recht hast hast du recht

@4everUSNavy See in it what you will, but it's a good song.
Menschsein means human being. Or... I think it does. O.o Sorry if I seem offensive. I...that's what I thought. X_X
@snes317 Nono, not Er ist -Eine- Popstar
Its written Er ist -Ein- Popstar.
Trust me, I am german. ^^

@GeistvonWut It is figurative.
@AddictedToAnimecrack ^ yup, german is awesome

@SC1337 You just turned me off.
Sie haben es nicht ganz verstanden. ^^
Actually this song can easily be interpreted as a "religious" song.
(top comment) "this is now my fav song cos it bashes god~ Thumbs up because I'm so cool cos i hate god"
