Great reaction. There are so many eastereggs in the video, referring to journeys of the band. With their ups and downs. There are almost no signs or pictures that don't have purpose. So well put together. You were pretty much on point with most of your analysis. They played this song as the outro song during this year's stadium tour. Goosebumps moment. Among with the songs "Zeit" and "Angst". You should check out "Angst" and "Zeit"(time) from their latest apbum. I recommened with translated lyrics from educatedmarine for example. They are so powerful. The name of the album, as you know is "Zeit"- time. All the songs deal with the large and small shenanigans of our time. With love from Germany ❤ (The outro music of this video is a classical version of the song "Zeit")

What a great reaction. You got the idea of rammstein. It is not the complexity of the Sound it's the Power that's comes from the great Work of engineering the music.

It's the Opera Garnier in Paris 😊

Rammstein know how to make a video 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Great reaction 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Best reaction to the video. ZEIT, ANGST, DEUTSCHLAND and Mein Herz brennt (both versions) are absolute masterpieces, as is Adieu.
-
Thanks for this reaction! Adieu is so powerful - slow but unstoppable! ♥

Oh wow!! I heard "Adieu" live this summer, but somehow now seeing the music video for the first time and how you interpreted all of it gave it so much more meaning. What a video! "Hit you like a ton of bricks" was pretty much on point. 😄

Of course, it would have made sense to pick out the video that has English subtitles. There is. Rammstein is trying to kill her old self here. But as you can see in the endcredits, they were actually killed during the attempt at the beginning. They never took the elevator down. So they remain the old ones as we know and love them. The music video is full of eastereggs and references from other rammstein videos. The endcredit music is from the song "Zeit". You should see this next.

Thx for your nice reaction 👍

This video has so many hints and possible ways of Interpretation: First of all there are references to earlier songs and videos like "Ich Will" ("heist", haircut, smoking), "Mein Herz Brennt" (grid, cave), "Deutschland" (red beam and coffin in space shown at the official countdown to the premiere) , "Liebe ist für alle da", "Mann gegen Mann" (masses of bodies), and of course: "MUTTER" (cave with grid, Till in cave, "Mutter 22" on the laboratory door). It looks like they are on a crusade (crosses in focus) using a car with "LIFAD 6" as number plate: LIFAD is the official fan community of Rammstein and also the name of their sixth album. They enter the Paris opera house and shoot their way towards the "laboratory". While doing so, they are "dirty", dressed up for the fight. Flake mages to get the door opened with his hacker tool. On the door you find the letters “Mutter 22”. This can have (at least for me) two meanings: Their third album Mutter was released in 2001 and will become 21 years old next year. Even more fitting is another explanation for me: Around the time of “Mutter”, the band had internal conflicts and they were even close to a split. Beside other things there were disputes about the artistic future. So, they open the door “of “Mutter” and behind it there are clones of themselves. And they somehow have a kind of similar looking to the fetus (a 200 year old dead fetus btw.) One could see those “clones” as former beings of them from the “Mutter” area. Beside that the always straight red beam (past and future / red thread) has lost its direction. Like the band wasn’t clear which way to proceed. The current Rammstein change their behavior, become soft, sentimental, … before they burn down the lab and their “Mutter” clones. For me it shows, that they had to break free from the situation they were in, but nevertheless it was their live and their success, … The following scene will introduce the cave to us. From above there are six statues looking / facing downwards into it. Down there are the band members in a cage surrounded by masses of creatures (for me the fans). The band members in the cage are attached to chains, which are pulled by the creatures (fans). The band is stuck in a cage is in hell. The masses are following them, but they are are also “tormenting” the band. The fans themselves are also stuck in hell themselves. Within the cave the band is first in the cage and has metal “helmets” on and the creatures don’t move. Then they get rid of the helmets and the fans start to move. The bands gets more energetic. Finally they get free and rise towards heaven, smiling, but there is still some firing of guns. With them the fans rise up. The next scene is still irritating: The band is on ground level of the opera again, moves towards the cage and they all jump into the cave. Now you see the “band-creatures” standing on top of the cave. They rise their arms and it seems that they are pulling down the giant statues from the top of the cave. Everything crushes down, but the straight red beams rises upwards. They had to crush the hell with the giant statues as “gods” at the top and the band caught in a cage at the bottom to have a straight direction again. While the credits of this incredibly insane production are shown, one can see the dead band members lying on the floor towards the laboratory door. Right in front of the door with still “Mutter-22” on it, we find the dead Flake with his not successful hacker tool trying to unlock the door. Is this an alternative ending? Maybe. Somehow. I get the idea, that there are two time layers woven together. In the past the crushed the hell, escaping the boundaries given by fans, public, media and very probably even themselves. They were successful and the band had a future, represented by the straight upward red beam. But history can repeat. They are always endangered to get trapped again, to be torn apart. And therefore in 2022 there can be a new “Mutter-Crisis” like in the original one. They have to be aware of it and have to fight it every time it happens. When they nowadays find their “clones” behind that door, they know, they have to “burn” them down, but they have now a more differentiated view onto the past and therefore there is also sympathy for and an emotional connection with their “clones”. But if they do not face the danger of getting trapped again (as clones or as caged creatures) there will be no future for Rammstein. Then band “THEN” would die and the red beam would disappear. But if they are aware of it and if they continuously succeed to avoid being trapped again, there IS a future for the band All these ideas written down here are my personal thoughts. They can be one explanation, they can be wrong, they can be one of many interpretations. I still have so many question marks myself. But also some ideas, that might be not totally wrong.

Great reaction! You should watch Zeit (with lyrics) Amazing song!
-
The opening remind me of the opening of "Ich Will" with the breaking in to a secure building and that was twenty years ago. The lyrics are a farewell song to a loved one it would not be out of place at a funeral. The video added a whole series of layers to it plenty to overthink with LOL For video making there are several rivals often with less money but still producing clever and inventive and insightful videos Sabaton and Electric Callboy spring to mind often more than just a filmed stage performance.

The lyriks are always on point. You listen to the last Song of the album. Take a look at the first song called "Zeit" (Time). Look at lyriks too. Then you understand the meaning of the album. You find parts of the melodie from the first song in the last song. Rammstein give always a journey..... Geetings from good old Germany 🇩🇪🤘😎🤘🇩🇪

Learn German or get the English translation 2 this song, its a perfect song/video 2 awesomeness. This song is the last they play at every concert/ it’s last and a new beginning. It’s a wicked banga!

I've read that Rammstein was asked whether this is a goodbye of the band and they answered that this is not their intention and they don't have plans to end up with their music. The whole album - which has a kind of melancholic touch (even in the funny tracks) - was made under the impression of personal losses of the band members. In this context, lyric-wise "Adieu" looks to me as the feeling of a lost fight against death ... not of the own death, but of loved ones ... and to finally accept that there is nothing to stop it. A kind of sad acceptance of the inevitable. Video-wise they are referencing to the time when they had produced their album "Mutter" and almost parted and had to reinvend themselves - which they did fortunately.

Am I the only one who think it is funny how Richard always have a cigarette? 😅

When the pendulum swings back, will not be fun

I think they are now in phase where money/commercial success doesn't matter anymore. Now they want to create real art (in their own way) and leave footprints in the history of (rock)music. And I hope that they will go back to the roots, when they are satisfied. Their liveshows grow too big and they might loose their contact to the audience some day. Paris was okay, but Moscow ? Their liveshows reminding more and more to the public events during the III. Reich. That cannot be their intention. Hopefully they stay Punks deep inside their hearts...

👍❤️

Maybe you can react to the band Evergrey a heavy Swedish band with amazing vocals The song eternal nocturnal is a nice way to start😊
