The song is about the Armin Meiwes cannibalism case that happened in Germany. Armin found a voluntary victim via the Internet, through a sex ad, and ate parts of him.

That's Rammstein. They sing about cannibalism, incest, rape, school-schooting, necrophilia...don't mind. That's metaphor, it's like a dark mirror for society and the depths of our souls. Just look what Shakespeare wrote about......And Till doesn't write his lyrics in simple ways, there is a poetic beautiness in the songs. Beautiness out of ugliness, that's art. And what they do, with all the cheesy show, is so oversubscribed and with a wink, that you can't take it too serious, even if you understand every german word. They have a dark humour.

This is classic Rammstein. Very pleasing sounds with very dark lyrics. This is based on a true story that happened in Germany.

The correct way of looking at Rammstein is like Opera. They're not trying to send a message, they're presenting a narrative with spectacle.

Mein Teil is a song that retells the story of Armin Meiwes, a cannibal who posted an ad on a website called "The Cannibal Cafe" in 2001. His ad stated that he was "looking for a well-built 18 to 30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed." Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes, an engineer from Berlin, answered Meiwes' ad. The two then solidified their agreement and met on March 9, 2001 at Meiwes' home. The two made a video which depicted Meiwes amputating Brandes' penis and then attempting to eat it raw, before ultimately having to fry it (in salt, pepper and garlic). Brandes was bleeding out, and Meiwes ultimately ended up reportedly killing Brandes by stabbing him in the throat and then hung his corpse on a meat hook. Meiwes ate the corpse over the course of ten months, storing parts of the corpse in his freezer. Meiwes was only captured after he had consumed 44 pounds of Brandes' flesh and then posted a new advertisement online, which caused the authorities to be alerted. You can read all about his case and such online, but for the sake of citing information, I'll give you guys a link to the Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes

"This is too much" Till: hold my beer... *"Buch Dich"*

This is strange but in almost any hollywood movie you can see shootings , killings , rapings etc. But when a little bit of (fake) blood appears in a music video , people suddenly become disgusted very easily . The best phrase in the whole song : Ein Schrei wird zum Himmel fahren , schneidet sich durch Engels Scharen Vom Wolken Dach fällt Feder Fleisch , auf meine Kindheit mit Gekreisch .

You wanna see controversial watch their live performance of Buch Dich.

Rammstein songs usually are so lyrically masterful that they can easily have more than one meaning.

“I’m just genuinely confused why someone would make a song about cannibalism” Listens to Cannibal Corpse

"Why would anybody sing about cannibalism?" Sori is so innocent it's adorable... Don't you ever introduce her to brutal death metal.

For all those who wrote “Buch dich”: it’s spelled “bück dich”... Buch = Book Bück = bend (imperative)

Why would you NOT sing about cannibalism??

It was about an incident in Rothenburg Germany. Basically a Man made an Advertisement in the Internet to look for someone who can eat him alive. Low and behold he found someone, they met and he was eaten. sorry for my bad Grammar.

1. For a couple who have taken interest in metal music and its subgenres, you guys have pretty low threshold for disgust and alienation. Metal musicians have been writing about human horrors and atrocities since Day One. Hell, even Black Sabbath named their band after a horror movie of the same name, which was quite an avantgarde move back in the 60s'. 2. Writing about serial killers and mass murderers have been a common trend among metal musicians. Slayer, Exodus, Mudvayne, Judas priest, etc. It's really not a novelty. 3. Sori, easy with the baseless skepticism on the band's live performance. Not only Till (the vocalist), but all 5 other members of the band are licensed pyro-technicians, and this flamethrower gimmick was pretty trivial in comparison to the stuff they've done in the past. 4. "Judge not lest thee be judged yourself". Devout Christians (ex-muslims) should know better. This is niche entertainment, appealing to people with more flexible mindset and musical taste. So no Sori, "majority of the world" don't listen to Rammstein -or Metal- music. 5. Providing some background and context before jumping into a song will go a long way, might even save one from a lot of awkward situations later on.

Just listen to Sonne bruh

You HAVE to react to more Rammstein live performances. They are just the greatest entertainers in the whole extended metal scene. They are also very groovy and their lyrics are written in a weird metaphorical style which ist very interesting if you can get your hand on good translations. As always keep it up mates! The song Mein Teil is inspired by this "neat fellow": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes

The Song is about a weird criminal case which took place in Rothenburg, Germany where two men meet each other one to eat the other and one to be eaten by the other one. The weird part is that it was consensual I think they even filed the whole ordeal. It is written from the perspective of the "victim" eating his own reproductive organ (don't know if youtube will filter other words) while bleeding out. which in case you are wondering actually happened. The phrase "Mein Teil" is referring to the male reprodictive organ. P.S. be careful with Rammstein reactions they are really picky when it comes to copyright.

Their reaction for me was 🤮. The song have a story. It's ok if they never heard the song, but next time wouldn't be nice if you both at least try to read the story behind a song? Some songs are based in real life facts!!

You should reacto to Lindemann - Praise Abort!! :D

"To my knowledge, nobody's gotten hurt from this show." Yes there was an incident. Some of the ceiling decoration caught fire and landed on part of the crowd close to the stage. The band kept them company in the hospital, and then got their pyrotechnics training. That was 1996 and nothing's happened since, other than bandmembers getting singed or bashing themselves. Also, damn, Vin. You can entertain darker thinking without being a terrible person. It's okay. Step it up.

Bathory - Oden's Ride Over Nordland/A Fine Day to Die (the former is a little instrumental, really adds to the experience of the latter!)

I saw this live, it was nuts! Such an amazing live band \m/

Part of why I absolutely love this reaction and the confirmation of the genuinity of it, you had absolutely no clue what this song was about! Love it!

Love this song. It is based on a true story . Very frightening but interesting. I always like to bring this song up and ask people: " who out of the two is more "demented" the cannibal or the willing participant"?

Vinand Sori should watch the whole Volkerball concert. You will enjoy it fo sho !!! Thanks a lot for this.❤❤

I don't know why but I found you guys a day a go and can't stop watching

The smooth lava lamp in the back brings the correct vibes to this video :) thx for your reaction

I sing this to the love of my life when I'm treating her to a lovley meal. And she loves it. Ist doch so gut gewürzt und so schön flambiert Und so liebevoll auf Porzellan serviert Dazu ein guter Wein und zarter Kerzenschein Ja da lass ich mir Zeit, etwas Kultur muss sein. Because I'm from Sweden, where we all are not some stuck up christians getting an erie feeling because some dude sings in german.,

Watch their video for “Rosenrot” and “Sonne”. Two of their best, in my opinion of course.

"It's a no from me" You killed me Vin! Legit one of your funniest reviews haaaaa

Sori, your "sleepy" hair looks great, and thanks for this great video guys!

He sings about Armin Meiwes - better known as Cannibal of Rotenburg.

Rammstein forces the listener to confront himself with these dark and terrifying things. You learn how to handle it and in doing so, become a better person. Getting to know the dark side is certainly a useful thing to do, because these things happen IRL. When i listened to Rammstein as a child, it made me grow as a person. I learned how to view things that were foreign to me from a different perspective. This is only possible because Rammstein tell their storys in a neutral, observing way. They don`t judge, so the listener has to make up his own mind. This song in particular is an interesting look at the mind of a twisted person. I mean, it really makes you think how he got there, to do something like that. EDIT: Also, this song has nothing to do with veganism, animal rights or anything on that regard. The metaphor "cuts through angels" is more meant to illustrate how for off the rails this person has gone. His actions are so beyond any moral that even angels just can't stand it, basically. His sin rips his soul apart. That is why his childhood is mentioned as well. It asks these question where did this "evil" began. Was there something weong in his childhood ? Or maybe the "evil" was in him all along. Or maybe viewing his actions as evil only depends on the perspective. Rammstein put a lot more thought behindn their lrics than most people think.

Mein Tiel 😂😂😂 but i love you guys thanks for doing Rammstein and keep up the good work we appreciate it

I'm glad you guys picked this video This is the best live show of this song

Rammstein ist und bleibt meine absolute Lieblingsband😎🤘

A great addition to your reactions would be finding information about the songs during the discussion part, like with this song when it's based on a true story about a cannibal it would be cool to hear your thoughts on the actuall event.

They been using fire for years. Its awesome live!

this video is super entertaining. i hope you guys will talk about the armin meiwes incident at some future point.

React to Allegaeon: Proponent for sentience III. For what I know you never reacted to them and that's a missed chance for open goal. Nonetheless I very like your channel and I found a new favourite after hearing and reading the lyrics of The Black Dahlia Murder (Asylum). I was blown away. I work with people with mental illness and I can see that there is an amount of people who don't get any attention by their families. That's why I'm a fan of your channel. The variety and the surprises that go along with it. Keep up the good work.

do Praise Abort from Lindemann next. Lindemann is collab between Rammstein's Singer, Till Lindemann and Peter Tägtgern the Singer from Hypocrisy and Pain. In this band, Till wrote the Lyrics and actually sings english while Peter wrote the music. It kinda feels like an english version of Rammstein

The discussions are awesome.

LMFAO Vin's reaction and the burrito moment. Classic.

Since I see , that a LOT of people in the comments already explained the meaning of the song and what's it about so here's the translation of the lyrics: Today I'll meet a gentleman He likes me so much he could eat me up Soft parts and even hard ones [3] are on the menu Because you are what you eat and you know what it is It is my part - no My part - no There that's my part - no My part - no The dull blade good and proper I'm bleeding heavily and feeling sick Although I have to fight to stay awake I keep eating while in convulsions It's just so well seasoned and so nicely flambéed and so lovingly served on porcelain And with it, a good wine and gentle candlelight Yeah I'll take my time You've got to have some culture Because you are what you eat and you know what it is It is my part - no My part - no Because that's my part - no Yes it's my part - no A cry will ascend to heaven It will cut through hosts of angels Feather-flesh will shriekingly fall from the top of the clouds onto my childhood *Fun facts:* 1 - although "Teil" in german means part or piece, it can also be a slang for "penis", which is high-likely what they were going for 2 - The reason why they were most likely going for the "penis" part is definitely because, the willing victim of Armin Meiwes, wanted his penis cut off, and they ate it together.

Ich Du dir weh (I hurt you) live from Madison Square Garden

Hey thanks again for the shout out! I don't think I've ever seen Vin reacting this emotional to any band before. LOL.

i saw this tour live in baltimore and the fire ball from the explosion went out over ten rows .

I love how Sori loved this video and Vin looked like he couldn't be more disgusted by it.

Now check out bloodbath - eaten! Based on the same incident from the viewpoint of the victim. My request, Hypocrisy Alive, or War Within!

I'm glad that you guys are getting in to listening to Rammstein, there is alot of interesting conversations to be had. That said, I recomend Ich tu dir weh or Du riechst so gut

Who needs Las Vegas when I can get my Circ de sol-Rammstein here on the V&S channel 😂😂 jk🤗

Vin would probably love Rammsteins Mann Gegen Mann music video ;)

Rammstein on arte? That's the most highbrow culture TV station I can think of in Germany.

Hahaha feckin brilliant!

I'll see Rammstein live in May 2019, in Gelsenkirchen/Germany *.*

There're so many better songs by rammstein. I'd recommend "Mutter", "Mann gegen Mann", "Ich tu dir weh" and "Pussy" (Also they're famous for their extremely well made music videos also.) I'd obviously still also recommend Moonspell and Tiamat for you to react to :P

"spiel mit mir" and "wiener blut" would also be great.

Everytome i see someone watching i can't wait to see their face during the solo. BOOM!

This band is in my bucket list to see live.

Mein Teil = My Piece.

Reaction Agalloch - Fire above, ice below Please!

Haha. ARTE is a TV Channel which is founded by the german&french state. And they broadcasted Rammstein? Nice.

Reached the 60k mark. Congrats

Hey guys could you try Slipknot - Scissors

Nightwish - The Greatest Show On Earth (live @ Tampere)

Welcome to the world of Rammstein ;)

A gr8 band to see live

I listen to stuff from alternative rock to slamming brutal death metal but there's something about Rammstein that terrifies the shit out of me, something no other band can do...

Mann Gegen Mann and Mein Herz Brentt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty light for Till Lindemann lyrics. Check out his side project Lindemann he made with Peter Tagtren from Pain/Hypocrisy. Till would write lyrics then in the studio during recording he would turn to Peter and say, "we can't say this right?" and Peter would giggle and reply, "It's fine man, it'll be funny, leave it in." I'll send you guys the album. :D

Damn I gotta see them live been a fan for 20 years and still haven't seen them

Katatonia - Leaders

Proud of you two. A lot of things that Rammstein make their songs about are based on real life events or situations. Blew my mind when i found out what the lyrics were back in the day and that it was based on a true story of voluntary cannibalism. I thought it was a happy little song about eating different meats....ell oh ell. Maybe it was after all but whoa :O.

Best thing is the video is aired an ARTE, a german-french public tv station mainly focused on culture but they always had a home for heavy music

Please, react to Rammstein "Deutschland" ✌🏻

I think it's funny how you can listen to all the Soul Devouring, Eternal Damnation, Black/Death Metal stuff...but you draw the "disgusting" line at physical evil. Metal is rebellion/shock.... Rammstein has shocked you.

Your reaction was so epic B)

I love this. It is pure theatre. Chilling topic. lol

Bloodbath - Eaten is a wonderful song about cannibalism.

You should really check out Dir en grey if you think this is extreme. Start with Dir en grey - Vinushka Uncensored PV.

Song was entirely inspired by a crime report on Bernd Jurgen Brandes and Armin Meiwes (look into it :p) Till Lindemann *vocalist* said "It is so sick that it becomes fascinating and there just has to be a song about it." He does things and says things for shock value, is his artistic way to express rather than a literal "message." xD I love Rammstein cause he wont' hold back no matter what people may say about them :)

Rammstein. One of the best live shows I have ever been to. Das es Mein Teil!

You got to play Ministry Psalm 69

Yeeesss! Mein teil!!!🤘🤘 And more SEPTICFLESH please! Portrait of a headless man (official video) Anubis Vampire from Nazareth Prometheus Martyr Virtues of the beast Enemy of truth Sangreal

The song is about „Kannibale von Rotenburg“ his name is Admin Meiwas.

Saw them live last week. Fucking amazing show I'm telling you

Sodom - Agent Orange - - - --------1987

React to "Eaten" by Bloodbath!

OMG THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING ♥

after so many metal reactions you still don't get what this music is about. wow.

Guys this song is about Armin Meiwes and his victims Armin Meiwes is an infamous cannibal who was active on Deep Web's Cannibal forums. the song is inspired by one of his victim's who volunteered to be eaten by him. This is not what member of Rammstein promote they are not Cannibals they're just story tellers for instance their song Weiner Blut is about Josef Fritzl a man who kidnapped his own daughter trapped her under the basement of his house under the nose of his family faked the disappearance of her and kept her hostage for decades until she finally escaped.

Type O Negative - Black Sabbath

Mein teil literally means "my tool" (and non-literally "my part") and it refers to the bit that they cut off and ate first. It is about the the Armin Meiwes case...

Nice reaction video. Btw - in english it would be spoken "Mine Tile" - that's sounds equal to the german "Mein Teil" and translated it means "my part".

Their Ich Tu Dir Weh live video is probably one of the better ones fyi

rammstein sonne rock am ring 2010

Suddenly, I'm feeling peckish. Great song by the way.

FYI...The band name “Rammetein” is based on the Airshow disaster that happened at Ramstein AFB. The band gave the word “Rammstein” the meaning of “Man on Fire”.

PLEASEEE react to: Dark Tranquility - Lost to apathy or Misery's crown Avantasia - The scarecrow Sabaton - Primo Victoria And Bathory - enter the eternal fire and the lake (so you can see their both eras)
