As a low-level guy on the periphery of show business in the 80s, I was told no one worked harder to make a great show for their fans as Kiss. I saw R at Liberty Lunch in 1998 and was mesmerized. Du Hast hadn't broke yet. By 2003 the show was unparalleled. No one does fan service like R.
they have show in their fireworks. I work concerts for a living. The only band I've been able to enjoy as a patron has been Rammstein, there's enough stage show to keep me distracted from watching the guards working the stage.
Yup. Early on when they were first starting out they already had ideas of including pyrotechnics in their live shows, but the venues they were able to play at that time simply couldn't afford to accommodate them or otherwise didn't have any qualified pyrotechs on hand. So they said fuck it. We'll do it ourselves.
There is a rumor that early in Rammstein's career they had an "near accident" with pyrotechnics, and Till (the singer) decided to get proper certification to avoid similar incidents. Nevertheless, Till is a certified pyrotechnician, and has extensive knowledge about how to use flames in their shows :-)
Try to wrap your mind around the fact, that an east german band can fill Madison Square Garden with the flick of a finger. Of all the bands i've seen in my life, Rammstein tickets is BY FAR the most difficult to get your hands on. They are artists - not just a band. Also take a look at their official videos. They're in a league of their own amongst all the main stream vids out there.
The bands that for me are far far away from all others are, in no particular order, Rammstein, System of a Down and Gojira. I love other bands, but them three are just...you can see the abyss between them and others
They filled Soldier Field in Chicago, I had the tickets for over 2yrs because the concert kept getting postponed due to covid. Literally over 60k people, and they dead stopped the music in the middle of Du Hast, hearing all those people singing in the stadium is a memory I'll have for a lifetime.
the irony of an olympically trained swimmer loving fire (Till Lindemann the singer was an olympic swimmer for East Germany when that was a thing) is truly delightful. he is also trained and licensed in pyrotechnics they do most of their live shows at outside venues. welcome to Rammstein.
The wing assembly weighs something like 50 kg, 110 lbs in old money, and pushes the center of weight quite a ways back. The strain in the voice comes from singing loudly during the exertion of carrying and centering that weight, which makes this performance quite unique.
If it's Rammstein, and it's a live show, something will be on fire. I haven't had the privilege of attending one of their concerts, but they are considered the best. And their official music videos, especially in more recent years, are of cinematic quality. Expect a few minutes of reading the credits at the end of them. Vocalist Till Lindenman's baritone is really wonderful, and he's even published books of poetry. The keyboardist, known as Flake, is such a walking enthusiast that he uses a treadmill at the keyboard for these concerts.
I found out the day after they were playing 4 miles from were I live as the show had been cancelled a couple of times due to covid. I of 2 shows in the UK absolutely gutted
I was lucky enough to see them live in 2011 in Phoenix. I wish they came to the US more often. But it was the best show I've ever seen. Great reaction again. Thanks
This is why we love Rammstein. Many bands get to a point in their careers where they're just going through the motions because they feel they no longer need to win people over. Rammstein on the other hand, gives every show 100%. Even after all these years, they're still giving their fans everything they have and that's why there will never be another band like them.
6:30 i love that "the keyboard man is my soul" Flake, aka Christian Lorenz, actually seems to be real shy. he likes to do poetry and usually has to fight his stuttering it is so incredible to me how different the "Rammstein experience" is to what the individual members are, and yes, even Till just to say: there are so many layers beyond, even though the first layer already seems to be crazy on its own.
I simply love watching the 'first reactions' of other musicians, vocal coaches, etc. to Rammstein. It reveals so much that has been known to others in the band's 30-year history :-)"
I promise, seing Rammstein live is an experience! I saw them back in 2016 and last year, and they're absolutely amazing. I'm seing them again in June and I'm so excited!
Where there's Rammstein, there's fire 😂😂😂 I have been a fan of the guys for almost three decades now, and their music ages like fine wine. Great reaction Love from Germany
And be sure to watch a live performance of the classic song "Rammstein" ( ua-cam.com/video/6IuGu_-K7gQ/v-deo.html ). As someone knowing one of the survivors of that incident since childhood, the lyrics give me the creeps...
Without any doubt, these concerts are absolutely epic. Each and every concert. The videos they produce are unbelievable pieces of art. Textual, musically/audio as visual feasts. The pinnacles of these days art. ‘Zeit’ and (piano) ‘Mein Hertz Brent’ absolute masterpieces.
I always love finding a new person reacting to Rammstein. I especially love your enthusiasm while watching them. They are definitely such an amazing band for not only there amazing live shows (as you now know from watching this and their performance of Du hast) but also their very creative music videos. I absolutely can't wait for you to react to more Rammstein and see what you think of them. Also I can't wait for your Spiritbox reaction as well!
Lyrics can be disturbing with Rammstein - Not with this song though. You should always look them up, they are important. You will not find the typical: "I love her so much / oh why did she leave me" kind of song with Rammstein. With some of the songs they are hard to translate because of double meanings, allusions, german figures of speech and so on of which they use a ton.
Yeah, absolutely. They make heavy use of word play and several layers of meanings and intentional ambiguity. Even for a native speaker like me its not so easy to fully grasp whats hidden in the lyrics on the first take. They really put an effort into their lyrics, as with the rest of their performance. They were intense when I got to know them around the mid 90s ("Asche zu Asche" was the first song i heard from them) and they just kept getting better and better... wow
The song in a nutshell means and he sings ‘God knows I don’t want to be an Angel’. …../this show in ‘10 sold out in 10 minutes. Actually 2 shows in 10 minutes. …LOVE ENGEL..ONE of my favs. But there are so many. Seem the in 9-‘22 in Chicago. I wasn’t expecting that. I was just starting to burn out on endless listening of RAMMSTEIN..then I seen the Chicago and was sucked in again. AMAZING. EPIC.

I've been a fan of Rammstein for 25-plus years now they released their first album in 1995 titled, Herzeleid which in English is Heartbreak. Here are Rammstein's Engel lyrics in English. [Verse 1] Who in their lifetime is good on Earth Will become an angel after death You look to the sky and ask Why can't you see them [Chorus] Only once the clouds have gone to sleep Can you see us in the sky We are afraid and alone Because God knows I don't want to be an angel [Verse 2] They live behind the sunshine Separated from us, infinitely far They must cling to the stars (Very tightly) So they don't fall from the sky [Chorus] Only once the clouds have gone to sleep Can you see us in the sky We are afraid and alone Because God knows I don't want to be an angel God knows I don't want to be an angel God knows I don't want to be an angel [Bridge] [Chorus] Only once the clouds have gone to sleep Can you see us in the sky We are afraid and alone Because God knows I don't want to be an angel God knows I don't want to be an angel God knows I don't want to be an angel God knows I don't want to be an angel God knows I don't want to be an angel
I finally got to see Rammstein in Cardiff stadium last year, best show I've ever been to. They used so many pyrotechnics people thought the stadium had caught fire 😂
The last and the best show I visited before the lockdown and the war was Rammstein. Had a ticket for one more but was unable to attend due to obvious reasons. They do love their fireworks :) I was in the middle of the crowd open air and when those flames kicked in it felt warm even 100 meters from the stage. Can't imagine the heat ON the stage! Cool reaction, keep up :)
I really enjoy watching your facial expressions as well especially when you like something you get a big smile, keep up the great reactions, I suggested one in another comment 🤪
@@rayactions It was a real treat to watch your reactions over the course of the video. From pure astonishment, to utter disbelief, joy and many other emotions, your eyes darting around, you beeing kind of overwhelmed at times. At the end you clearly needed some time to fully process what you just saw ;-) As to the lyrics - yes, they are bordering the dark side at times and are generally not "nice" and polished, but more a mix of being rough, to the point, blunt and many other things. Be sure to watch a live performance of the song "Rammstein" from their first album, then read the (translated) lyrics, have a look at the back story and watch it again...
I was at the Coventry UK show in June 2022 and the energy of the show is amazing. They did a piano version of Engel, which was magical. Made me cry afterwards.
Rammstein always puts on a massive show, every show is an experience. Till is a qualified pyrotechnician so he designs all their Pyro for the set, including the wings. Just another amazing show from one of the best live bands going around
They have always turned heads and put artistic integrity above self. The Fact that lead guitarist Krupse is a classically trained jazz guitarist amd chooses industrial metal guitar blows my mind.
Im guessing this was your first time watching a live video by Rammstein, their live shows are literally LEGENDARY, and Till Lindemann the singer is actually a licensed pyrotechnician so thats why you see him and the rest of the band do all sorts of crazy stuff with pyro. I was lucky enough to FINALLY get to see them live in person back in 2019 and it was and Im pretty sure it forever will be THE SINGLE GREATEST show I've ever seen in my entire life!
I've seen Rammstein six times, and this is one of the more tame uses of fire in their show. Back in the late 90's they used to START their shows by lighting Till Lindemann on fire and he would sing the entire opening song with flames mere millimeters from his face.
I have seen them in the 90s when they played way smaller gigs. If you managed to get somewhere close to the stage you smelled after petroleum so bad, you could not light a cigarette….
It's always fun to see people's reactions to fireshow in live concert of Rammstein... Guys, just find on UA-cam their '99 live concert "Live aus Berlin", there was a real fire show that they put on themselves as pyrotechnicians. Bleeding soloist's head in the Sehnsucht song, burning microphones in the song Asche zu asche, flaming bow with burning arrow to the crowd - Du reist so gut, burning soloist!!! - Rammstein song, drummer in sparks - Engel, Flake on the boat in a crowd - Seeman... You'll get an unforgettable experience.
The whole wings rig weighs around 50kg, or roughly 110lbs. So you can imagine how this strains Till's chest, back, etc, forcing him to sing right through that compression. Add to that is this song usually happens sometime in the middle or even the end of the show, so they've already been exhausted by 1-2 hours of performing. Just to put it into perspective. The lyrics of Rammstein are usually very deep, poetic, and often contain multiple meanings. It's often difficult to translate them with their multiple meanings into English, so it often happens that you only get one meaning. The context as well as the grammatical structure of a line can change the content of what is said significantly in German. Engel isn't stuffed to the brim with these double meanings (not necessarily double entendres) like so many other songs are. But the interpretation is still open depending on who is listening and what they focus on. That's the fascination of Rammstein, that they rarely if ever, declare only one interpretation to be correct. They always smile, but never confirm or deny any specific meaning. They prefer to leave that up to the listener.
Rammstein has been a favorite of mine since Sehnsucht. I'm so happy to see them having a modern resurgence with all these reaction videos. Fun Fact: Most of Till's showmanship with the pyro and weird goggles and whatnot (the distractions) are pretty much because he's shy and needs the audience focused elsewhere while he's putting on this masterclass performance. They're such an incredible band :D
So hard to whistle on key and on time in a live performance too! Heat and nerves/adrenalin working against you even more than singing!.. and while playing an instrument too! So glad to you hear like keyboard guys! ;) Rammstein - always spectacular!
Absolutely. You just can't capture the intensity of the lower frequencies in recordings, the sheer power of the basses in a live concert is astounding... The only other time i've experienced something like this was at "Maschinenfest" festival in Essen
0:15 About 20k capacity, they play in stadiums of 50k+ usually 😁 Engel is one of those legendary songs that's always great to hear and always triggers me to sing along. Just like Mein Herz Brennt and Du Hast. I think most Rammstein fans feel the same. Have to say their live performance are always crazy as well, and hot with a lot of pyro effects. Few years ago I was sitting all the way on the other side of the stadium and when the pyro near the stage went off even where I was it was hot as hell 😅 Rammstein is pronounced like ramstine by the way 🙂
The boardman name´s Flake Lorenz and yes, he´s very crazy but the great musician and the Till Lindeman voice is fantastic. I´ve seen their concert on two twice and I really loved it!!!!
Love the reaction, holy molly. They bought the whistle and the wings. Rammstein brings the Beat but we all know the message. Love the reaction. Stay safe,🤘
"I gather that this man this man loves fire..." I saw them live in Mexico City, when they were still an opening act. For their introduction to the audience, the first song, with the same name as the band Rammstein, he was on fire, literally on fire for the entire song. Later they had boots with fire throwers, they shot flare lights with a bow to slowly descend over the stadium and so many other things... It was amazing. And the energy of their music, I loved it! Not need to say they stole the show. After that, the other band made their show and the audience was like "oh, you think that's pyrotechnics, how cute!"
I read somewhere they were about 50kg. The hardest part is the fact that they are so far off his centre of gravity, they try to pull him over backwards. Then as they open he has to actively change his position so he doesn't just fall forwards as the weight moves forward.
It's the combination of great music, fantastic performance art and some pyro stuff of the highest order. If you go to Rammstein you get the whole package. Very unique theatrical Amusement.
i was 19 years old, listening to...other trash...thought i knew life and music.... A friend of mine threw in a LaserDisc with Rammstein Live Aus Berlin - Engel... I was... reborn!
The only time I've seen them live was during Korn's Family Values Tour (back in '99?). For the first song, Till Lindemann (the singer) came out in what looked like a really bulky coat. Half way through the first song, they lit him on fire! Turns out it was a fire suit. So yeah, he likes fire...lol. I believe he has a pyro technics license which is why their shows have a lot of pyro.
Watched your Rammstein reactions, I have to suggest 2 more though!! Rammstein - Ich Tu Dir Weh (Madison Square Garden), and Rammstein - Deutschland (Official Music Video) Normally always suggest live versions of Rammstein songs, but the official video for Deutschland helps with the song so much. Keep it up, channel is growing quickly!
Wherever Rammstein performs in the world, fans can sing along with the German lyrics. Even in France. The band is known for its sensational live performances. The song singer, Till Lindemann, is a trained pyrotechnician and uses his knowledge a lot during the shows. What you might think is blood on his arm is a protective gel against the flames. Fun fact: The keyboardist runs on a treadmill and covers about 16 miles during a concert.😁😁😁😁
I know lots of people have noted that til is a licensed pyrotech but the reason way was back in the mid to late 90s a bunch of fans got hurt when part of the stage caught fire cuz of the pyro. Apparently the techs messed up some how and a beam above the stage caught from the flames, and fell and hurt fans. After that til got certified and at least supervises and test out all their pyro before shows to make sure it is safe. I believe there is video out there about the incident.
I love the "is that fire?" Lady, those are pilot flames. They ignite the real flame. Also, they had a bad experience some years ago with Pyro, after that Till (the lead singer) became a licensed pyrotechnician and now they make all their pyro "In-house" so they know it's safe.
He (singer - Till Lindeman) made those wings. All the fireworks on their show are his work . He is fireworks engineer and all the stuff you see is thanks to him
There is a version of Scala & Kolacny Brothers , a Belgian girl choir group. The management of the German group Rammstein officially contacted the Kolacny brothers with the question whether the band could have all the recordings and scores of Scala’s version of Engel.
No group puts on a “show” like Rammstein. They are about two hours of pure, pounding energy.
Yep! My sister went to Rammstein Concerts twice here in Germany and said that their shows are absolutly mindblowing.
last i saw them in gotheburg they started at 18 and ended at 23:30, my ears were pounding for a few weeks after that
And fire... don't forget fire
@@gabrielstratton1775 Yes. Lots of fire. 😁
I love Rammstein but GWAR shows blow them out of the water
KISS: "we have fireworks in the show"
RAMMSTEIN: "HOLD MY BEER"
As a low-level guy on the periphery of show business in the 80s, I was told no one worked harder to make a great show for their fans as Kiss. I saw R at Liberty Lunch in 1998 and was mesmerized. Du Hast hadn't broke yet. By 2003 the show was unparalleled. No one does fan service like R.
I would say that Kiss said: "We use fire in our shows."
Rammstein replies: "That's cute."
So true
they have show in their fireworks. I work concerts for a living. The only band I've been able to enjoy as a patron has been Rammstein, there's enough stage show to keep me distracted from watching the guards working the stage.
LOL🤣
the singer is a qualified pyrotechnician so he does alot of the planning for the live shows. A man of many talents.
its my understanding the whole band has their certificates
@@beazlbub68 I think there is a difference whether you are fully entitled or a helper.
Till Lindemann is a Pyrotechnical Engineer. thats why he use a lot of that in the concerts
In some shows they look dirty and sweaty, but in reality it's fire retardant gel! They are nuts.
Yup. Early on when they were first starting out they already had ideas of including pyrotechnics in their live shows, but the venues they were able to play at that time simply couldn't afford to accommodate them or otherwise didn't have any qualified pyrotechs on hand.

[Verse 1]
Who in their lifetime is good on Earth
Will become an angel after death
You look to the sky and ask
Why can't you see them
[Chorus]
Only once the clouds have gone to sleep
Can you see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone
Because God knows I don't want to be an angel
[Verse 2]
They live behind the sunshine
Separated from us, infinitely far
They must cling to the stars (Very tightly)
So they don't fall from the sky
[Chorus]
Only once the clouds have gone to sleep
Can you see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone
Because God knows I don't want to be an angel
God knows I don't want to be an angel
God knows I don't want to be an angel
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Only once the clouds have gone to sleep
Can you see us in the sky
We are afraid and alone
Because God knows I don't want to be an angel
God knows I don't want to be an angel
God knows I don't want to be an angel
God knows I don't want to be an angel
God knows I don't want to be an angel

There is no other band on this planet with a "live" show like Rammstein. LEGENDARY 🤟🤟🤟
The way the pillars come down at the end of the song/show is very emotional.
I've seen Rammstein six times, and this is one of the more tame uses of fire in their show. Back in the late 90's they used to START their shows by lighting Till Lindemann on fire and he would sing the entire opening song with flames mere millimeters from his face.
I have seen them in the 90s when they played way smaller gigs. If you managed to get somewhere close to the stage you smelled after petroleum so bad, you could not light a cigarette….
It's always fun to see people's reactions to fireshow in live concert of Rammstein... Guys, just find on UA-cam their '99 live concert "Live aus Berlin", there was a real fire show that they put on themselves as pyrotechnicians. Bleeding soloist's head in the Sehnsucht song, burning microphones in the song Asche zu asche, flaming bow with burning arrow to the crowd - Du reist so gut, burning soloist!!! - Rammstein song, drummer in sparks - Engel, Flake on the boat in a crowd - Seeman... You'll get an unforgettable experience.
Rammstein has some of the most insane pyrotechnics ever for stage performances - which puts them in a category of their own in my opinion
RAMMSTEIN is one of the most awesome live bands ever!
The whole wings rig weighs around 50kg, or roughly 110lbs. So you can imagine how this strains Till's chest, back, etc, forcing him to sing right through that compression. Add to that is this song usually happens sometime in the middle or even the end of the show, so they've already been exhausted by 1-2 hours of performing.
Just to put it into perspective.
The lyrics of Rammstein are usually very deep, poetic, and often contain multiple meanings. It's often difficult to translate them with their multiple meanings into English, so it often happens that you only get one meaning. The context as well as the grammatical structure of a line can change the content of what is said significantly in German. Engel isn't stuffed to the brim with these double meanings (not necessarily double entendres) like so many other songs are. But the interpretation is still open depending on who is listening and what they focus on. That's the fascination of Rammstein, that they rarely if ever, declare only one interpretation to be correct. They always smile, but never confirm or deny any specific meaning. They prefer to leave that up to the listener.
Rammstein has been a favorite of mine since Sehnsucht. I'm so happy to see them having a modern resurgence with all these reaction videos. Fun Fact: Most of Till's showmanship with the pyro and weird goggles and whatnot (the distractions) are pretty much because he's shy and needs the audience focused elsewhere while he's putting on this masterclass performance. They're such an incredible band :D
Rammstein is pure art. Incredible live, creapy in their videos. Fantastic. My Top 3 live Bands: Nightwish, Epica and Rammstein. All a must see 😀
100% love Epica also, I would absolutely love to see them in concert one of these days.
Seen them lots of time and they never disappoints! Seeing this for the first time it blew my mind!
I waited 3 years to see them in September…worth the wait the best show on the road at this time
Saw them in Rhode Island.Amazing show.Only other concert topped it was SOAD
I waited over 16 years to see them live, and when I saw them do this, I straight up cried happy tears the entire song.
"This man loves fire" Well, he is a certified pyrotechnician.
They all are these days lol
The line between a pyrotechnician and a pyromaniac is very blury 😉
Til initially became a pyrotechnician because of an incident that happened in their early years
Rammstein should be on everyone’s bucket lists for a show
Your face at the end was priceless. Subscribed!!! Rammstein top Live band!!! Greetings from Guatemala
So hard to whistle on key and on time in a live performance too! Heat and nerves/adrenalin working against you even more than singing!.. and while playing an instrument too! So glad to you hear like keyboard guys! ;) Rammstein - always spectacular!
I went to their who in Göteborg, Sweden last year. It epic, absolutely amazing!!
Always the best reaction stay how you are don't change you are truly amazing 🥰👌
Thank you so much 😁
I love watching Rammstein! It’s always a show. Till is absolute passion unleashed. As a side note, he is a certified pyrotechnician.
GOAT live band. Seen them 6 times live. Apart from performance, sound is not justified in these recordings. Have to be experienced live!
I've seen them 3 times, 1 indoor & 2 outdoor, and I agree with everything you say.
Absolutely. You just can't capture the intensity of the lower frequencies in recordings, the sheer power of the basses in a live concert is astounding...
The only other time i've experienced something like this was at "Maschinenfest" festival in Essen
0:15 About 20k capacity, they play in stadiums of 50k+ usually 😁
Engel is one of those legendary songs that's always great to hear and always triggers me to sing along. Just like Mein Herz Brennt and Du Hast. I think most Rammstein fans feel the same.
Have to say their live performance are always crazy as well, and hot with a lot of pyro effects. Few years ago I was sitting all the way on the other side of the stadium and when the pyro near the stage went off even where I was it was hot as hell 😅
Rammstein is pronounced like ramstine by the way 🙂
This is everyones bucket list to go to a rammstein concert
That whistle, CHILLS already from the first blow...
You haven´t even seen the craziest stuff yet - and LIVE - you really feel the fire :-D
The boardman name´s Flake Lorenz and yes, he´s very crazy but the great musician and the Till Lindeman voice is fantastic. I´ve seen their concert on two twice and I really loved it!!!!
Love the reaction, holy molly. They bought the whistle and the wings. Rammstein brings the Beat but we all know the message. Love the reaction. Stay safe,🤘
The amount of trucks driving around with all the fireworks and scenery is beyond imagination ! 20 trucks or so for thé Hellfest once … incredible
This is a real taste of Germany
welll Till IS a pyrotchnician so yeah he loves fire XD
Flake loves to play on the treadmill - to get his steps in XD
Have seen them 4 times and it was amazing each show. Highly recommend sitting in the hot zone.
i barely speak any german, but i absolutely love Rammstein, the band is so damn good
"I gather that this man this man loves fire..." I saw them live in Mexico City, when they were still an opening act. For their introduction to the audience, the first song, with the same name as the band Rammstein, he was on fire, literally on fire for the entire song. Later they had boots with fire throwers, they shot flare lights with a bow to slowly descend over the stadium and so many other things... It was amazing. And the energy of their music, I loved it!
Not need to say they stole the show. After that, the other band made their show and the audience was like "oh, you think that's pyrotechnics, how cute!"
Great reaction. Btw i saw it LIVE in montreal, and those flames were HOT all the way back at the BELL CENTER. It was sick! best live band on earth.
they have an English version of this song but hearing it in their native language is the best
This BAND loves fire! >>> "Mein Teil" ("My part")
I saw them last year in México, Oct 4th is the day I will always remember.
seen them few times live, they blow you away each time!!
I read somewhere they were about 50kg. The hardest part is the fact that they are so far off his centre of gravity, they try to pull him over backwards. Then as they open he has to actively change his position so he doesn't just fall forwards as the weight moves forward.
Saw them in Toronto about 10-11 years ago, amazing!!
That's right irs a massive venue for epic and semi Rare concert. They don't hit USA many times as we'd like.
It's the combination of great music, fantastic performance art and some pyro stuff of the highest order. If you go to Rammstein you get the whole package. Very unique theatrical Amusement.
THANKS for your GREAT reaction! RRRRRAMMMSTEIN!!!!!
“This man loves fire” hahaha that’s an understatement. 😂
RAMMSTEIN RULES THANX FOR YOURE REACTION
i was 19 years old, listening to...other trash...thought i knew life and music.... A friend of mine threw in a LaserDisc with Rammstein Live Aus Berlin - Engel... I was... reborn!
The only time I've seen them live was during Korn's Family Values Tour (back in '99?). For the first song, Till Lindemann (the singer) came out in what looked like a really bulky coat. Half way through the first song, they lit him on fire! Turns out it was a fire suit. So yeah, he likes fire...lol. I believe he has a pyro technics license which is why their shows have a lot of pyro.
Watched your Rammstein reactions, I have to suggest 2 more though!!
Rammstein - Ich Tu Dir Weh (Madison Square Garden), and
Rammstein - Deutschland (Official Music Video)
Normally always suggest live versions of Rammstein songs, but the official video for Deutschland helps with the song so much. Keep it up, channel is growing quickly!
Wherever Rammstein performs in the world, fans can sing along with the German lyrics. Even in France. The band is known for its sensational live performances. The song singer, Till Lindemann, is a trained pyrotechnician and uses his knowledge a lot during the shows. What you might think is blood on his arm is a protective gel against the flames. Fun fact: The keyboardist runs on a treadmill and covers about 16 miles during a concert.😁😁😁😁
I was in San Antonio September 2022. Awesome show!!!!!!!!
I'm just binge-watching your videos and i have to adjust my volume with every video. xD
Rammstein is one of the best bands 🤘greetings from germany 😊
I know lots of people have noted that til is a licensed pyrotech but the reason way was back in the mid to late 90s a bunch of fans got hurt when part of the stage caught fire cuz of the pyro. Apparently the techs messed up some how and a beam above the stage caught from the flames, and fell and hurt fans. After that til got certified and at least supervises and test out all their pyro before shows to make sure it is safe.
I believe there is video out there about the incident.
I love the "is that fire?"
Lady, those are pilot flames. They ignite the real flame.
Also, they had a bad experience some years ago with Pyro, after that Till (the lead singer) became a licensed pyrotechnician and now they make all their pyro "In-house" so they know it's safe.
The Madison Square Garden Pyro performance of Ramstein is the "calm down" version of the outside arena full performance ;-)
He (singer - Till Lindeman) made those wings. All the fireworks on their show are his work . He is fireworks engineer and all the stuff you see is thanks to him
Absolutely gorgeous performance at Soldier Field in Chicago last September 🖤🤘 Incredible show, the energy is ridiculously good 😊
There is a version of Scala & Kolacny Brothers , a Belgian girl choir group. The management of the German group Rammstein officially contacted the Kolacny brothers with the question whether the band could have all the recordings and scores of Scala’s version of Engel.
They are MY GENERATION!!! They are in ther 60-ies! "Bad ass"? Das war uns!!! Das IST uns!!!!
They are one of the best live bands to see
As a Fan you see him coming on the stage with those wings and you just KNOW they gonna explode sooner or later! 🤣
I watched them live twice! And it was hot as hell from all those fire!
