Random Rammstein with the LyricLunatics - A podcast by lyriclunatics

Part 1 of a 2 part episode on the new video 'Platz Eins' from Lindemann. Join us for a wild ride as we delve into the lyrics and video for Platz Eins... going from being disturbed and disappointed, to somewhat impressed and intrigued by the logic within it. As much as we hate to admit it, the visuals of the video offer a compelling (and disturbing) narrative of power and personality. We talk about symbolism, misogyny, the use of violence, the nature of power, the cult of personality, onstage/offstage personas, and.... SEX -- because what is a discussion of a Lindemann video without resulting in SEX.  For the full discussion of the use of explicit sexual visuals in the video, as well as the use of porn in the new Lindemann tour, and what it may all potentially mean, check out episode 2!
