The Rammstein: Ich Will
Marcia Swindell
"Ich will" (German for "I Want") is a song by German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein from their third studio album Mutter. It was originally released in Germany on 10 September 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. The German single contains a live cover of the Ramones song "Pet Sematary" sung by Rammstein keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz.
The music video of "Ich will" features the band members staging a bank robbery, making it seem as realistic as possible. The video shows both the robbery and its aftermath, and moves between these two scenes.
In an interview, Rammstein described the music video of "Ich will" as being a demonstration of the media's obsession with a good story, as well as an illustration of the immortality that can be achieved by those who commit wrongs.[1] The video was filmed in Berlin in the former State Council of the German Democratic Republic building (Staatsratsgebäude) which now houses the European School of Management and Technology.[2]
The Ich will video is based on the hunger of the media for a good story, and the immortal fame criminals get. In the video, the band members are engaged in a bank robbery. It shows both the robbery and its aftermath.
Ich will
Ich will dass ihr mir vertraut
Ich will dass ihr mir glaubt
Ich will eure Blicke spüren
Ich will jeden Herzschlag kontrollieren
Ich will eure Stimmen hören
Ich will die Ruhe stören
Ich will dass ihr mich gut seht
Ich will dass ihr mich versteht
Ich will eure Phantasie
Ich will eure Energie
Ich will eure Hände sehen
Ich will in Beifall untergehen

The main action took place before that, at the moment when a group of robbers broke into the bank. The first thought that arises in my head paints a picture of an ordinary robbery. But the invaders have completely different intentions. They are not interested in money, rather, they themselves are ready to pay to be heard: each of those who enter has some kind of defect that makes them a minority in a society that is indifferent to the problems of those who do not belong to it. The group is prepared for the meeting with the cameras: stylishly dressed, well-groomed, self-confident. A huge bomb is tied to one of the gang members: self-sacrifice is an important part of the action, which will help attract the attention of a bored society.
Rammstein will perform their final US shows in Los Angeles, CA on September 23rd and 24th with Duo Jatetok, then head to Mexico for 3 dates at the start of October before heading back home. For 2023 the band will be on their full European tour. If you didn't catch them this year, keep your eyes peeled for the next US run.
With the first Rammstein album you hear, it's hard not to be slightly amazed by the sheer chutzpah of it all. The German lyrics, the prog rock tendencies, the classic metal guitars, and the ridiculous basso profundo vocals -- you either fall for it, spurn it, or are utterly bemused by the extremeness of it all. Unless you're a fanatic, it wears a little thin the second time around. And for most listeners, MUTTER, the group's third album and sequel to their inexplicable commercial breakthrough Sehnsucht, will be the second time around since it's their first release since becoming a high profile act. Thing is, if you've heard that record, you've pretty much heard MUTTER, since all the trademarks are in place, without much noticeable variation. Yes, there are slight differences, chief of which is the cleaner production, which streamlines everything so the guitars don't seem as heavy, the songs not as epic, and the whole enterprise not as ridiculous. That's not the same thing as stripping the group to the basics, however; it's more like wrapping up the music in nice, shiny paper and putting a ribbon on it. That's not really good for a group like Rammstein, but it doesn't dilute their impact, either, because they are what they are and no amount of polish will make them mainstream (nor will it make it possible to take them seriously). So, that does mean that MUTTER isn't as good as Sehnsucht, but it isn't a stumble either -- and if you liked the first, you'll like this (not the same thing as being amused by the first -- in that case, this will try your patience). That still doesn't answer the question whether anybody outside of diehards needs more than one Rammstein album, but that's just a question of personal taste.
While you need a high amount of saturation, this can also muddy up your sound in a hurry. So a good balance between distortion and bass is key, which can go either way. And because all gear is radically different. You will need to experiment with the right amount of gain.
