"Even your parents know Rammstein."
Dude, I know Rammstein because of my parents.
Im pretty sure my parents don't know them, but then again, I'm 52 ;-)
@@Gruoldfar I hope your kids know them because of you then
Same. My dad game me a dvd With them 2001, i was 11 :p
And im the Grandpa WHO play Rammstein to My grandson. He wont miss out! BTW, kidnapped My 13 year younger brother back in the sensucht dags and forced Rammstein down his throught (read ears) @ Solnahallen in Stockholm. He hated the german language and all that germany had Done in the past. He is one ofvthe Viggestorp fans today bringin his now 18 year Ola son to Gothenburg next summer. Missad out 4 Stockholm 2019. I did not! August 14th! LIFAD
i was on a rammstein concert with my parents
"Rammstein is bigger than the genre itself." I think that's the best way of summarizing their success.
Orbital Vagabond I think they are a genre in their own. No other band sounds or performs like them.
Fully agreed.
They are like Prodigy, one of a kind band.
Yes, I think they are the only band of their genre, which is called "Neue Deutsche Härte" by the way.
Like S.O.A.D.?
Rammstein is like the main reason I’m learning German on Duolingo
Same!!
Same. Most of what I say is about potatoes tho
yep - reason why i wanted to learn German
Same mate
@@rebel0058 sounds like fun
AND the small fact that they NEVER compromised on translating any albums OR singles into english, just to reach more ears. By sticking with that mentality, I believe has earned them a MASSIVE amount of respect. Just staying true to who they are.
what about Amerika? it is pretty much in English...
@@billsimmons2898 That's intentional. It wasn't selling out, it was a part of the point they were trying to make.
Yes but it IS still English....
@@AmandaHugandKiss411 Yes, but it's not in English to reach more ears. Which was point of the original comment.
@@dmitry6472 and my point was you used
NEVER compromise....
Don't use absolutes if there ARE exceptions.
How so you know why they have a English song?
"So who's booked the arena this month?"
"Rammstein."
"OK, turn off the heating and unplug the smoke alarms."

this has to be the most accurate comment i have ever seen on the internet.
Why are they so popular? Just listen to them. Excellence is self evident.
I'm totally stealing that line
Simple there the best band on the planet
Laibach
@@Fireglo I like Laibach too I like Rammstein more but I love Laibach.
Sorry I cant like your comment, youre at 666 likes but I have to let you know that I agree 100%.
I think an important aspect that is not noted by the lyrics here 3:03 is that they have a polyvalence of meanings - they use German words, which can have multiple meanings depending on the context without giving you the context. In other words, they mean all the meanings at once and perhaps none of the meaning at once - because they are "plastic words" in the Pörksenian sense (Penn State University Press, 2004). If you ignore German orthography, and merely focus on phonemes - Rammstein uses words that sound like other words (homophones) - "Du hast mich" could also be "Du haßt mich," They also do a lot of play on words, use metaphors and idioms. That is their genius. A lot gets lost in translation, which makes their lyrics appear simplistic when they really are extremely complex.
Exactly 💯
Sexy
Ma man, yo comment belongs to the top, i mean, i speak german myself and never realized how they use lyrics, so: thanks man
The way he sings "Du hast" sounds like you'd say "Du hasst"(you hate) in german, especially with this aggression. For as long as he just repeats "Du hast mich" (You hate me), the meaning really hangs in the balance. It is only once he gets to "Du hast mich gefragt" that it becomes clear.(You have asked me)
Set's the mood, to say the least.
As a German, I could not upvote this comment more! Great context acknowledging Ramstein's lyrical dexterity and playfulness with words, double entendre and imagery!
I'm a 71yr old fan. Teaching my grandkids about this great band.
My old man is the same age and even he has some respect for rammstein
Great job!!! I'm doing the same with my teens
Pissing parents off? I raised my kids on Rammstein.

@@ilkahellerling2345 I am 70 and I'm a rabid fan!
I really, really hope you get to see them. This pandemic is a pain.
Weird flex , but ok
Rammstein is art not just music. What they put into their videos and their stage show. Pure brilliance.
When anyone from this generation complains: "I was born in a wrong generation, today's music suck!", just say: "Rammstein."
I don't get why people even say that. Just listen to the old stuff then what's the problem?
@@clintwestwood3046 You're makin WAY too much sense.
That frightens people. I'm a happier man now. Thanks for that.
The late 80s and early 90s is a era to be proud part of, even 30 years later… Regressive dance pop music can’t kill that stuff.
@@j_freed That's when all of the greatest metal genres were born
Just avoid pop music. There a of good stuff out there.

I'm 60 and still listening to Rammstein!!. Went to a concert about 8 years ago. Awesome!
I'm 60 too, saw them several times, next time in 1 month together with my mum. She loves them too, and she's 77.
I was pregnant with my son when I went to see Rammstein in Glasgow. He used to sit in his car seat headbanging and singing Sonne. Bless he's nearly 18 now and loves them to the surprise of his school friends.
"It's just so much cooler when you dont understand what he's saying"
*laughs in German*
"Its german humour, its no laughing matter"
tis so true though
i tried looking up the lyrics but it was so bad i vowed to never look again, almost ruined it lol
eclipse English is not really sufficient for German poetry. Tried to translate some of my fav German songs into English for friends - they just sounded flat. There’s simply a deeper meaning to them in German, one which can’t be translated so easily.
@@ntk8787 yea its definitely weird and explainable
seems to be the case with most foreign music though - rammstein was the only one i did look up however and only after like 2 decades due to a friend telling me to
Personally i never pay any mind to the words of a song, its all about the voice matching the music. The words are lost to me unless i specifically pay attention but if i do that then the music goes in the background if you know what i mean. I prefer the latter.
I went to german school so I knew the language but I started really like german when I started listening rammstein , I love Till Lindemanns accent, he is amazing :D
From the German point of view it's also really interesting that the thing I like the most about Rammstein is completely lost on international audiences: their lyrics. Aside from Till sounding really fantastic, he's also a really talented poet (he actually even published poetry over the years). The themes and stories are really interesting, mature, well told and offer some really great insight into the human condition. They are often told from the perspective of some interesting, complex and sometimes deranged character, which is a fact that often gets overlooked by critics: the lyrics are not from the point of view of Rammstein or Till, but from a character.
And as a fan of literature I can't help but notice the influence of classic German literature and poetry. A lot of the lyrics are really similar in style and rhyme scheme to German poets like Goethe or Schiller (they even referenced some classic works in their songs, e.g. Roter Sand references Effi Briest, Haifisch references Brecht, Dalai Lama references Goethe). If you took certain Rammstein lyrics, mixed them up with poems by aforementioned poets and asked someone to determine which were written by whom, I guarantee you that he would be completely unable to do so consistently.
I really like that Rammstein is so popular outside of Germany and they have a lot of qualities to justify that, but it's a bit of a shame that Till's poetry gets lost in translation.
I swear to god, i was looking for your comment.
It's a shame that too little people actually care to look into the more poetic context and meaning of their songs.
Cheers from Swamp-Germany (more commonly known as the Netherlands)! :D
^^^ ich auch
Completely agree. Understanding the lyrics and all that word play is essential and brings it to the next level....
Well said and I couldn't agree more. Once you get into those lyrics (i'm czech, but luckily today it's no problem to find a translated lyrics) you get a whole new experience. Those songs you skipped before get a new meaning and deliver message you weren't aware of before. My favourite example: Steim um steim ;)
I’m so so so happy I study German because these lyrics are fantastic! Been a fan for years now. It is sad that the English translations lose the emotion and sub meanings.
I've been hammering my speakers with the music of Rammstein since day one .And here i am at 66 still cranking their music up . Have listened to a lot of h-metal bands in my life so far ,but Rammstein stands alone at the top with there creative sound .
🤙🤘
"Keine Lust" doesn't really translate to "I don't feel like it..." it's more like "I have no desire."
Also "Lust" in German can really mean "lust".
It loosely implies either meaning though, depending on context.
Languages can be idiomatic as much as literal so translating is not so linear.
@@j_freed Certainly true. I just feel like the translation here is a bit too simplified. It doesn't really capture the depth of the lyrics.
@@andreasrademacher5715 it could be lust or desire, whatsoever. The other way around, "lust" in English could also mean "Begierde" aside from "Lust".
It means "I can't be bothered" - it has nothing to do with lust or desire!
Why is it so popular.....simple, because it’s dope as shit my man.
Hey, aren't you the same guy who played Te Quiero Puta! in spanish class?
I saw it in a comment under a lyrics video of that song and as I saw your username and profile pic I immediately had flashbacks lmao
Sorry if you are not the same guy, but I just felt like I had to ask...
If it's not you, then forget about it all and have a good day!
@@janoslegyenfennajanoshegyen yeah that’s me
True but that doesn’t tease apart the WHY of the band’s Dopeness... how did they become what they are...
And maybe that doesn’t even matter, because you don’t focus on analyzing the band you just experience the music. Alles anders macht nichts...
That's the problem with you people today. You like to analyze everything. You do not feel.
Almost 8 minutes summarized in one sentence, well done!
I'm dead with those song pronunciations and I'm not even german
@Hey Zeus Edgy
The struggle of hearing European words in English speaking accents is too great. I wince when I hear people pronounce the city of Turku as "Tyrrkuu". It's "TURku" with the emphasis on the first syllable because that's how Finnish works.
if you are german it sounds even better XD
How did you put this comment in then?
Me too lol
Simple, they are unique. There is so much real pain in their music that you can't help but stop what you doing and listen. It's captivating. They have an upside to them and a funny side, but the painful side is where they truly shine. Some of it is truly heart breaking and I love them for it. Rammstein is life, very few bands can capture that
Because Rammstein is the best band known to man and my favourite hands down! The bridge in Mein Herz Brennt is intoxicating. A day without Rammstein is like a day without sunshine 🌞
Set designer: how many pyrotechincs you want?
Rammstein: ja.
Just Like this Till has a diplom in pyrotechny and he is the pyrotechnicnician of rammstein
every person should o to their concert in their lifetime, its show like o other, I remember when I was a teenager and rammstein came to my country... my mother didnt let me to go but I was still going and I dont regret it it was amazing
@@syzer6202 I was gona say that.
He does the crazy stuff ppl watch on their concerts.
@@HK-gm8pe It looks a bit like an In Extremo concert with all these pyrothecnics (a German Band I came to know through the video game cameo in Gothic).
Rammstein is the reason why I started to learn German.

I wanted to learn German when I heard Die Eier von Satan by Tool. It was hilarious.

@@jazzleclap6401 dieses,dessen,daß
I think the real key to their enduring appeal is their sense of humor coupled with their willingness to tackle controversial/difficult themes. Bands tend to get overly serious and self important, or they go TOO silly or vapid. They ride the line artfully and have for decades
Even my 73-year old Asian father knows and likes Rammstein. (He discovered them by himself) That’s how popular they are. 😂❤
#11 - Because Til is metal enough to punch his own kneecap back into place as a dance move on stage.
Lol only diehard fan will get this one...
AKA the “Till Hammer”
“Deutschland” is the best damn thing to happen to music in a long time.
Preach it, brother!
please check the following song: ua-cam.com/video/ZxDyT00YY5w/v-deo.html
Ew no
You won’t hear me complaining, it’s really awesome
To me, it's a dimes a dozen Rammstein song, nothing special. "Radio" is different.
Its so stupid to say German is a brutal language i mean every language sounds brutal if you shout every word
yeah everyone thinks germans automaticly scream their language but literally every german person ive met is very chill
its simple. languages with more vowels sound softer, the ones with more consonants sound harder. most extremes I'd say are french and russian
In latvian butterfly is "Taurenis". Shout it out loud and it sounds angry.
People should watch german tv programs and then, say if it's brutal or not. I mean, if you watched Deutsche Wielle's news German you would know German can sound just sexy.
It sounds very definitive, rough even. English sounds very smoothed out in comparison.
This video was realeased just before they dropped the 2019 album and went on world stadium tour (corona stopped the tour though). That tour (continued this year) is now ending and was an INSANE success, they instantly announced a new europe tour for 2023 and have sold out ONE MILLION tickets in a few hours. Absolutely insane for a foreign language band in a "niche" music genre.
I was there. I heard Du Hast when i came out, nothing since. 2019 my son asked if I would take him to see his favorite band, Rammstein in Minneapolis. We bought tickets. Got postponed one year, then another. Went to the show last month. By far the biggest, most insane show I've ever seen.
Sonne is such a masterpiece. I never get tired of hearing that song.
Agreed. One of my favorites. The music video is beautiful too.
I'm the "parent" that pisses my "kids" off with Rammstein. I enjoy every minute of it!
football master Awesome. I don’t speak German but I love the songs in that language.
Same! My pre teen has a rocker mate who thinks we are cool so it adds to her annoyance 😂🤣
Your kids must be lucky but my mom seems she's accepting my rock/metal band genre
Tell them to stop listening to their rap and beatboxing then
Same!!
There is another thing: If you look at their videos, you will notice them exchanging smiles, winks, small gestures; They are doing what they love with their very best friends.
Fantastic music. Great visuals. Wonderful stage shows. Poetry. Social commentary. Amazing videos.
Till’s voice.

Honestly, it's not the language that sounds metal, it's the way the language is spoken. If you yelled "butterfly", it would sound intimidating to a foreigner just as much as schmetterling. Try saying schmetterling like you would say butterfly, it's just as gentle.
True. If I yelled *"BUTTERFLY!"* at an american, it would be more weird and maybe amusing to them, but only because they understand what butterfly means, and the meaning of the word is what infuses the situation with irony and thus makes it funny. I could probably intimidate somebody who doesn't understand English that way. Or, if you aggressively yelled "mariposa" at an English speaker, they'd likely be intimidated, too, not because mariposa as a word is harsh, but because a stranger is aggressively yelling at them in Spanish.
I mean funnily enough the example he gives right after that is hier kommt die sonne which is much more melodic than hard which German is also well suited for
Thank you. I love German, I think it's a beautiful language, but people like to rag on it because it has more guttural sounds than the fancy pants romance languages.
It's just a huge circle jerk that Americans and probably the rest of the world has that German sounds angry. Well of course it does when you try to mimic an ss officer shouting commands. Once you learn it it's a beautiful language.
@Antifa Action You and nebraskadude totally miss the point. Go play elsewhere, kids!
Also: Till Lindemann is a learned pryotechnician, he always works on the stage fireworks himself.
Actually every member of the band studied after they had a small acident in stage.
@Pauline
Yes, in the past he worked no it, but not anymore.
Not anymore after the accident

@Ben Mokriš men, just watch their links 2 3 4 , and shut up please, some of their fan's are really ultra-right , but Till Lindemann left-winged.
@Ben Mokriš who are you to say what political beliefs Rammstein fans have? I'm right-wing, not conservative just right-wing/nationalist. I love Rammstein because of the combination of the militaristic guitar riffs and the way Till sings in German, just amazing sounding. Rammstein lean left-wing but not crazy leftist, the song Radio is about how the communist regime censored what they could or could not listen to and limited their freedoms. The song America is clearly anti-globalism.
@@alexanderkvita3610 and the music video Stripped was edited by Leni Riefenstahl herself =)
"Even your parents know Rammstein..."
its my dads favorite band, and quickly becoming mine as well with this new stuff.
You can be proud of your dad and he can be proud of you. Excellent music taste :D.
I live in Costa Rica, since I am a kid my sisters and I listen and watch the videos without an idea of the lyrics, we didnt even speak english...so german was on different level. But the music the passion they transmit was just wow. Even my parents, conservative, catholics people dont mess with rammstein, the reconognize the old songs and even whistle angel when they ear it. That is rammstein, borderless.
Same here! You guys should go see them together. It's an amazing experience.
My Mom didn't understand why I loved Rammstein so much until she came with me to see them in concert.
@@07prxone Great to hear! That would seem out of place for just about any other European Band. A few of my Mexican friends love them too. I love bonding with people of different cultures over music. May music forever be without borders. :)
Rammstein is proof that music transcends language, it speaks to something inside u!
They are so popular because they put on a live performance that is in my opinion unequaled in terms of lighting, pyrotechnics and theatre. They also have great music to back it up.
they give it all back to the fans, thats why
total band isn't even worth 5 million for all of them... Till said "we have what we want, we do it for the love of the music, and our fans"
I think "Blitzkrieg mit dem Fleischgewehr!" sounds better than "Blitzkrieg with the meatrifle!"
You´re damn right!!!
You answered. Lyrics, lyrics and lyrics and they are perfect.
Tbh it may just be better called fleshrifle.
You also could say "Lightning Warfare with the fleshrifle". Dosen't sound as bad. From Germany with love.
To me the first thing that really got me into Rammstein was that Lindemann's voice can be absolutely mesmerizing to me, that band is the whole reason I started learning German.
Came into my last job and met new collegues from Russia, Turkey, Romania and Egypt, we all bonded immediately through Rammstein.
nice
Sehnsucht was the album that initially got me interested in European metal as a young kid…also, the album that taught me that you don’t have to understand every word in order to find something moving. Up until that point, it was Metallica, Alice In Chains, Korn and all that…oddly, Rammstein ultimately led me to learning about bands like Stratovarius, Burzum and Meshuggah, too. 🤷♂️
"German makes the lyrics sound cooler" truer words were never spoken it was about 50% of why I took German in high school
I took 4 years of German in high school for two reasons, one, Rammstein, two, Spanish and French were too boring and mainstream for me, so I took German instead, and I don’t regret it at all!
I signed up for German in high school because of Rammstein but after seeing how complicated it was, I switched to Spanish 😂
@@GlaziolaNacht I only had german at my school lol. The spanish teacher transferred schools, so we only had one foreign language class(which was taught by my legally deaf, geriatric German teacher)
53 year old here. Heard a lot of Rammstein through the years with no interest. It’s 2020 and absolutely hooked! These guys are so diverse and amazing. Have to catch up for the years lost.
Have fun ;)
Im 54 :-)
Their first album Herzeleid (1994) is still their best in my opinion

But my 1st ever album that I bought was Sabotage by Black Sabbath and I saw AC/Dc a lot before they were big, so have always been a bit of a headbanger (can't do it know, makes me sick). To me Rammstein are a continuation of the music that I have always loved, but just different. So glad that my son got me into them, and I love Lindemann too, Til's other band. Brilliant.
I'm a big Emigrate fan, Krisppes other band. Check out Ghost.
Pure audible and visual bliss.
I’m a Boomer who’s constantly amazed, astounded & in awe of Rammstein, even more so to learn they’ve never had a lineup change
Keep it coming leute!
"Look, I'm old enough to remember when 'Du Hast' came out!" OMG, Methuselah, did you see dinosaurs, too?!
I would add "lyrics" to the list, since the lyrics why seemingly straight forward at times always have like a greater depth to them really. There is so much irony, hidden imagery and subtle social and political criticism to it while depicting the obscene nature and conflict of the human mind, at times sheer brutality on the outside but the deeper meaning makes them relatable and personal, showing in merciless "in your face" way that we have a part in that grotesque nature.
But then I realized based on how many fans word wide probably never understood a word of that Till sings, the lyrics are probably not the reason Rammstein is popular, even though they might be very important to a more involved audience.
I agree. And I worry that it comes across as slightly "snobbish" or "Oh, you don't understand the deeper level maaaaan" but you are absolutely correct. And I think, unfortunately, the dude that is narrating this video is one of the people that doesn't actually really get it.
Take their most "popular" song... I bet there's millions of people who would say Du Hast is their favourite song, yet aren't able at all to articulate what it's actually about, and that's a shame.
The keyboard is what made me fall in love with them
Yeah, I turned 40 this year and have a 14 year old who has been doing the 'Til Hammer' since he was 5 xD

Try to shout "Papillon" like he shouted "Schmetterling" and you know why it sounds brutal or harsch.

Well i live in Kazakhstan, and during the 90s and 2000 Kazakhstan was still in close relationship with Russia and Russia was with Germany so most of the countries in USSR knew rammstein. My grandma with my close friend introduced me to them. And she still knows them, heck even my mother knows them. And my mother is a rock and metal enjoyer from like 10 years old. So i love metal from my family. I still love rammstein and metal music. Thanks to my family for introducing the best music genre to me. Rock on!
When someone explains how great your favorite band is for 7minutes. It honestly feels great
Yes that's truely a great feeling :)
I'm going to see them in two weeks in Munich 😍
@@niklasmende446 Dude... I'm jealous.
Nice profile pic........ lmao
@@void2662 too lazy to change it lol
I know❤
I’m a parent and it pisses my kids of that I listen to rammstein
My 12yr old daughter when I picked her up from class yesterday... "Rammstein again father?"
@@trmaddy I would be so happy if my family listened to Rammstein. Instead they just ignore it.
trmaddy my daughter tells me to put the headphones on..so I do and I start singing loud!
My aunt likes rammstein and i have nothing against it. I just love that she can like a band like them!
Now your kids are pissing me off 😂
53 and I'm still listening to them. I love the band.
Nobody:
Absolutely no one:
Usanians: "German is a brutal language"
They were arrested in 1998 during KoRn's Family Values tour.
Rammstein rule and I'm loving Deutschland and Radio. Bring on the new album! 🤘🏻
Radio is better imo
@@claytonmartin3305 NEIN!
@@KoRnBaKo 😏😏
I saw them in Las Vegas in 2017 with Koran and Stone Sour as the opening act. The place was old out! Packed to the rim.
@@zigzack4144 I was also at that show
Rammstein. The band that will stay with me till the day I become an 'Engel'.
The band changed my life in drastic ways. Never change Rammstein!
Du willst kein Engel sein.
Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.
Hehe..."Till" the day
If you listened and understood the lyrics, "Engels" say it sucks to be one. Cheers
I introduced my son to them. Took him to a concert his senior year of high school. He's only a year older than Du Hast.
Even their newest album is an absolute banger.
Rock on Rammstein! One of a kind band!
Till Lindemann sounds like a wanderer in the 1000s telling stories of the dangers in the forests
This is poetic and pretty spot on.
I am regretting that I wasted many years not wanting to give this band a chance. But lately I have been listening to their music and I am really getting into this Rammstein music.
I was at their concert in Budapest with my wife 5 days ago. After 10 days we will going to their concert in Vienna, but this time I will take my mother and my wife with me.
Parent (62) here.
When my two than boys made me listen to ''Spieluhr'' 20 years or so ago I was blewn away.
This is...Goethe, Novalis and Rilke.
German classic poetry meets heavy metal.
It is certainly not my kind of music, but it also certainly is quality.
These guys were and are top musicians and top artists.
Till Lindemann is really into poetry. Not only are songs like " Dalai Llama" a reinterpretation of the " Erlkönig" ( Erlking) by Goethe himself. Till also published his own poetry some years ago. Based on a fair share of their text writing, they must be really into poetry.
Because they sound amazing and dont care about criticisms.
actually, they do.
They were consistantly labeled a right-wing group. thats why they made "Links 2,3,4"
@@stableape2967 understandable. I wouldn't to be associated with it if it didn't describe me.
@@stableape2967 So Rammstein is kind of 'Neo - Nazi' something??
@@user-wb6jt7cd4c No, they are left wing. Links = left
@@TS-dm3os Oh I see ^-^ thx
I'm an old lady and I love this band. If I had grandkids I would be turning them on to Rammstein.
My parents (65 an70) love Rammstein!
The bands been pissing my parents off? Who do you think got me into Rammstein!!!!!
my words!
Most money I ever paid for concert tickets was Rammstein in 2017. I know I got a steal when the show was over. Best. Live. Show. Ever.
Rob Johnson Same! I was in Las Vegas with Korn and Stone Sour as the opening act. Most expensive price I’ve ever paid for seats but the view was amazing and their performance was the most insane thing I have ever seen.
Unfortunately viagogo motherfuckers make tons of money on Rammstein and other music, I wish viagogo would all die.
Same I ended up with second hand tickets to see them live in Chicago 10 years ago,, SO WORTH IT!!!
@@zigzack4144 I was at that show as well! I have been a fan since I lived in Germany. Their songs hold a special place with me. I was stuck in the mosh pit at that show but was totally worth it!
I'll see them in 20 days in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Paid 89 Euros for the ticket. I'm blessed.
Não existem palavras para dizer o contexto todo. Me identifico com a história de vida de Richard sobre sua família, sentimentos, seu país, etc. A primeira música que ouvi foi Engel e sempre foi a minha preferida. Quando vi a letra, descobri que tinha tudo haver comigo. Na minha opinião é a emoção que eles me dão , sou uma pessoa intensa e acho que assim combinamos. Só sei dizer que é muito amor envolvido...
A number of years ago, I had an online friend from Germany who was very into music and he would share with me songs and videos from different artists he was into. One day he sent me a video from Rammstein. I really liked when I heard and decided to search for more from them. The more I found, the more I was blown away. They had a unique sound and a great look. I developed quite the obsession with them for a number of years. I saw them in play live several times, including one time when I travelled from South Florida to New York City to see them play Madison Square Garden. My obsession has cooled over the years as obsessions often do, but I still appreciate their music as well as the experiences I've had and the friends I made as a result of discovering this one of a kind group..
when i was 15 (36 now) i gave my mother a rammstein cd for here to listen. She fell in love with them. Going to take her to the next concert (tickets r bought) . She says this is the best present i could ever give her
Just saw the show in Prague. It's the best show in history. It's impeccable, overwhelming, sublime. You will never want to see another band's live ever. They ruined it for everyone else. Magnum Opus!
@@sebastep I really cant wait. When it comes for them ruining it for everyone else i say, Ja mach das!
my mother is in her 70'sand she loves them
I first heard Rammstein when I bought the Matrix movie soundtrack. "Du Hast" was one of the songs on it, and I instantly became a fan of the band.
I first heard Rammstein in the beginning of the movie xXx, singing Feuer Frei.
Same, i ran out and bought Sehnsucht right after!
Kitten Lyric That's dating you, man, if you remember the Lost Highway soundtrack, lol. I remember that, too. "Heirate mich" was on there, wasn't it?
My first Rammstein album was a cassette copy of Sehnsucht that I stole from the local Walmart, lol. I bought it later on CD to support the band, and I've bought their other albums, too.
I first heard Du Has on Pandora while listening to Viking metal songs
I’m going to the show LA this year freaking excited!
Bro....those 10 points nailed it!
Couldn't agree more & they're the reason I discovered the German Metal scene years ago.
Even learnt a lot of the language thanks to their music too...LOL
The parent comment is ridiculous. I'm 59 years young and I've adored their music since the beginning. The best.
There Paris concert footage is a god damn masterpiece of cinematic glory in every form. It truely is a work of art and will last the test of time.
I’ve listened to that live album countless times. Incredible!
Love you Loud wire magazine !!!
Love this band for so many reasons
