I want to share my story. As a child, I walked with a friend near my house, on the playground. And towards the end of the day I found a dirty CD on the ground. It was without labels and packaging. I brought it home, dusted it off, and decided to see what was written on it. There were only 3 video clips. Two of them are not interesting, but the last one was this video clip, Ich Will. I watched it several times, at full volume. That was the beginning of my love for Rammstein. Then I was about 10 years old. It's been 21 years, and I'm watching this clip, as if for the first time, with delight
The music video was released in Germany on September 10, 2001, but many channels did not air the music video (which was to debut on U.S. television the next evening) as it was released the day before the September 11 attacks. Also, the police officers in the video were real and not actors. They taught the band how to fall on the ground without hurting themselves and how to act when they get their handcuffs on. All of the band members except for Ollie and Flake have handicaps in the video. Till has a crippled right leg. He has to walk with a crutch. Paul has burn marks on his face. Richard has one hand that is a plastic hand, through which he has no sense of touch. This explains why he starts the alarm. He didn’t feel how he pushed the button. Schneider has one eye missing and has a glass eye in its place.
The lyrics are what makes the message even more chilling. It shows how insane humanity is. And when the crowd is singing the chorus during a real concert, they play into the message and often without even realizing it. However, I love how they critique media, social media and especially the people falling for it. And boy, do they play their audience, too.
One of my favouritw video of theirs. So stylish, so much symbolism, so well cut with music. The scene were Till talks to the dead journalists is iconic.
The best live version of this is probably from the Hurricane festival in 2016, important for English cc "Rammstein - Ich Will (Hurricane Festival 2016) PROSHOT HD [GER/ENG/RU/ES/FR]"
The video and the song reminds me of a criminal case in Germany. In particular the Gladbeck hostage taking. It is a criticism of the media, which interviewed the hostage takers live during their kidnapping and thus gave them excessive attention. I can't shake the feeling that the media still resents Rammstein for this to this day. Sorry for my english.
I assume the inspiration for the song and the video was a true crime. In 1988 there was a bank heist in Germany (Gladbeck), after which the perpetrators fled and took hostages. During the escape, journalists conducted several interviews with the perpetrators and obstructed police work. After 54 hours of flight through almost half of Germany, the perpetrators were caught. Two hostages and a policeman were killed. The behavior of the journalists, who hindered the work of the police due to their close proximity to the events, later sparked an intensive public debate. In the video Rammstein seems to provoke media attention by the heist, not primarely to steal money. The line "Wir wollen in Beifall untergehen." (We want to drown in applause.) indicates it. The live version of this song (e.g. Ich will - live from Hurricane Festival 2016) shows a great involvement of the audiance.
They are band that can polarise opinion, but, they are a musical powerhouse. And as you say they make mimi movies to accompany their songs Loved the opening of this video very dark/dystopian/1984esque Inspired choice to react to
Hi Sabina, I've been into hard rock and heavy metal all my life and Rammstein are the iceing, the best for last. Ich will love their music till I die. Thankyou.
3:00 They fall because they were "shot" by the cameras. The scene takes place only in the minds of the robbers, because their goal is to become famous through the crime.
I remember in the early days of youtube, say 06-2010, this song was fucking IMPOSSIBLE to find with the music video. There were fanmade uploads with still images from the video, or the video with the wrong audio, so if you wanted to show this to a friend you had to find one of the video uploads and mute it and time the audio in another window to it 😂😂 I was so happy when they officially uploaded it lol.
My favorite Rammstein song paired with an excellent video. Nobody does music videos like Rammstein. Nobody in the roughly 45 years of music videos has any musical group done videos at such a high production value.
It would be so fucking scary to be in the middle of a bank robbery and a) a robber intentionally taking their mask off and b) intentionally pressing the silent alarm.
the live version is amazing, there is really a dialogue between Till and the audience who reply to him in the chorus part: Till : Könnt ihr mich hören? (Can you hear me?) Audience: Wir hören dich (We can hear you!) Till: Könnt ihr mich sehen? (Can you see me?) Audience: Wir sehen dich (We can see you!) Till: Könnt ihr mich fühlen? (Can you feel me?) Audience: Wir fühlen dich (We can feel you!) Till: Ich versteh euch nicht (I dont uderstand you...) in the last chorus, Till replaces "mich" (me) by "uns" (us), and the audience "dich" (you singular) by "euch" (you plural)
My daughter's school used this song in German class because of all the different pronouns and their different cases. Also, probably, because it was a lot of fun for the teacher to make a bunch of 12 year olds sing this.
Theres always a story behind their songs this one in particular. The Gladbeck hostage-taking (also known as the Gladbeck hostage crisis) was a high-profile crime in West Germany and the Netherlands in the summer of 1988, during which three people lost their lives. The bank robbery with the subsequent taking of hostages began in Gladbeck in North Rhine-Westphalia and ended after around 54 hours on Autobahn 3 near Bad Honnef with an access by the Cologne police's special task force (SEK). In the aftermath of the crime, the behavior of the police and reporters was massively criticized and a social debate about the responsibility and limits of journalism was initiated.The behavior of the journalists, who hindered the work of the police due to their close proximity to the events, later sparked an intensive public debate. Among other things, several interviews were conducted with the perpetrators, a press photographer acted as a liaison to the police and a Cologne journalist rode in the getaway car to show the perpetrators the way out of the city centre. The Gladbeck hostage-taking is an important subject of investigation in media system research. Explanation from another poster so thanks for the effort. Did I mention this is utterly awesome live ? !!!!!!!
I recommend checking out the "making of" the Ich Will music video, it offers a lot of insight. It is the first time they deliberately created out a sort of call/response with their music, when they play this live it is amazing to be there in the thick of it, when Till says he want to see our hands, you see an entire stadium of people raise their hands - in Paris this year he even shouted in French "Raise your hands!!" after singing that line. it is a great song and a great music video, and brilliant for a stadium sized crowd in live performances!
this music-vid is a reference to the Gladbeck hostage-taking in Germany, whereby the bank robbers could drive unmolested across the whole country! Even then (1988) the media presence was more important (audience quota) and the police subordinate!
I would love to see your reaction and you should react to those 2 songs!: 1- Snuff by Corey Taylor (the acoustic live version) 2- Keeping Me Alive by Jonathan Roy (Acoustic version too) They worth every second and promise you will feel nothing similar while hearing thems! Ps: Love you reactions!
Ich will! I want) I want to hear your voices (I want) I want to disturb the peace (I want) I want you to see me well (I want) I want you to understand me I want your phantasy (I want) I want your energy (I want) I want to see your hands (I want) to go down in applause You see me? do you understand me? Do you feel Me? Do you hear me? Can you hear me? (We hear you) Can you see me? (We see you) Can you feel me? (We feel you) I do not understand you Can you hear me? (We hear you) Can you see me? (We see you) Can you feel me? (We feel you) I do not understand you I want I want I want I want We want you to trust us We want you to believe everything we say We want to see your hands We want to go down in applause, yes Can you hear me? (We hear you) Can you see me? (We see you) Can you feel me? (We feel you) I do not understand you Can you hear us? (We hear you) Can you see us? (We see you) Can you feel us? (We feel you) We don't understand you I want I want

I always prefer the official videos But with this song, a live version with English subtitles is clearly preferable The title only makes its full sense with an audience! Please react😊
Sry, iam german guy.... dein Kommentatorenfreund sollte mal den Hintergrund dieses Lied verstehen.... entweder er wurde noch nie gemobbt oder ist rieses großes arschl... , wenn es das 2. ist, Iam ready for him
Ummmm, errr do you understand German? Next time please put the English subs on so you can fully appreciate the song. Glad you enjoyed the video Sabina, but that (it would seem) is all you could do. :/

They just announced a new tour, taking them to Valby next year. Its still possible to get tickets to the Danish show

Sorry for my english.
Ooh, your english is okay for me , as german 😅😅.
Ja , denke von der Gladbeck Posse (?) , Drama wurden sie inspiriert !?
I believe that Rammstein have indeed said that the Gladbecker Geiseldrama was what inspired the song. The media making celebrities out of criminals.
I assume the inspiration for the song and the video was a true crime. In 1988 there was a bank heist in Germany (Gladbeck), after which the perpetrators fled and took hostages.

Fantastici
Not only this song is an absolute banger, but the video is harsh criticism of media sensationalism and voyeurism.
Hi Sabina, I've been into hard rock and heavy metal all my life and Rammstein are the iceing, the best for last. Ich will love their music till I die. Thankyou.

Thanks!!
This song really awesome 😊
Yes!!
you're cute)) but your subtitles A R E R E AL LY H A R D T O R E A D! @@sabina1118

Wow! I love to see your reactions during the video, also the smile on some parts of the video😍. Keep it up girl! Good luck.
You should watch the live version.
Noted!!
and subtittles, very important!!! please!!!@@sabina1118

haha it's actually 22 years old :)
Crazy
but still very good
One of my favourite Rammstein songs along with Feuer Frei. Check it out!!!!
My favorite Rammstein song paired with an excellent video. Nobody does music videos like Rammstein. Nobody in the roughly 45 years of music videos has any musical group done videos at such a high production value.
HOW AWESOME ARE THEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really awesome!!
The only song I know, that has lines written specifically for the audience. Amazing live.
"I love that synth of madness". What an awesome way to describe Flake ❤
I heard Rammstein for the first time in 2001 when I was 10 years old, now I am 33 years old and still listen to it today
The Song is from 2001 !!!
Really Love this Kind of Song... Kudos Sister 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I recommend the live version at Hurricane festival 2016. Another extraordinary example of crowd interaction!
It’s from 2001.😊
Ooops 😀🙏🏻
Your so funny and cool Sabina. You produce unique content!
It gives chills when the crowd sings the chorus in live concerts
This song is from the album Herzeleid which i think was the best. Discovered them from the David Lynch film Lost Highway.
It would be so fucking scary to be in the middle of a bank robbery and a) a robber intentionally taking their mask off and b) intentionally pressing the silent alarm.
Absolute Masterpiece ❤ Rammstein 🔝🔥🔥🔥❤❤
the live version is amazing, there is really a dialogue between Till and the audience who reply to him in the chorus part:
Till : Könnt ihr mich hören? (Can you hear me?)
Audience: Wir hören dich (We can hear you!)
Till: Könnt ihr mich sehen? (Can you see me?)

Till: Könnt ihr mich fühlen? (Can you feel me?)
Audience: Wir fühlen dich (We can feel you!)
Till: Ich versteh euch nicht (I dont uderstand you...)
in the last chorus, Till replaces "mich" (me) by "uns" (us), and the audience "dich" (you singular) by "euch" (you plural)

Hello Sabina. I am German and recommend a Rammstein song. "Seemann" is one of the oldest songs and the only one that has been covered

this music-vid is a reference to the Gladbeck hostage-taking in Germany, whereby the bank robbers could drive unmolested across the whole country!
Even then (1988) the media presence was more important (audience quota) and the police subordinate!
I suspect the gun toting scenes in 'Adieu' were a callback to this video.
Uhhh yes!!
