  • The beginning scares the shit outta me

  • I had a dream like this once. It was the worst dream BTW.

  • I heard an interview with Blixa once and he referred to their music as folk music. Fell off my chair.

    Blixa for World President!! :)

  • I don't get it. That was wierd.

    

  • Makes so many others look like dillettantes of their avowed committments.

  • long live cropped t-shirts! long live die under-booben !

  • Can't wait to hear Nouvelle Vague do a cover of this, lol

  • xodarap: "Throbbing Gristle invented Industrial!!!!"

    rotedrachen: "Einstürzende Neubauten invented industrial!!!"

    fritzo: "Genesis P. Orridge, Dave Ball and E. Neubauten gave a fuck and recorded Decoder together" :P

  • mindfuck...

  • only Residents come close..

  • damn this is crazy dont remember ever laughing as much :D

  • Schade, das Ende fehlt. Das war das erste Lied, dass ich von den Neubauten gehört habe und war sofort begeistert. Das Video ist klasse. Auch von mir... Thanks for uploading.

  • I first heard this back when I was 12 in eighties. It blew me away. Halber Mensch was still one of their best albums. This video really captures the extent of their creativity as an industrial sound system with a stunning visual medium. Thanks for uploading.

  • thats right!!!!!!!!!!!!i don't use any drugs but understand the atmosphere very well.........maybe i'm crazy...........but what's the definition of the word"CRAZY"

  • so this is where anna varney cantodea took her look from, thats actually pretty rad

  • FUCKING GOOD !!!

  • this video is what started it all for me.

    I knew nothing about these people before, (except one of guys is from the Bad Seeds)

    and I still haven't managed to memorize how to spell this band's name.

  • only a schizophrenic person would know the true meaning of this.

  • @1787dude

    or an amphetamine user

  • @MrBrianSlade luuuuulllzzzzzz

  • @MrBrianSlade only idiots think that a crazy or drugged person would be the only one that could 'understand' this. Fans of industrial music aren't all mentally-challenged freaks or drug users.

    You may also want to consider the thought that this may not have any concrete meaning, only an atmosphere, two very different things.

  • @KingOfUm

    Ummmm, you may also consider that you simply fail to comprehend it. Moreover, labeling a mentally challenged person as a freak, doesn't make you sane, right? As for myself, I never said that that Industrial is a music genre only for a specific group of people, only that this song talks about substance abuse. Express your stereotypical ideas somewhere else. Au revoir!

  • @MrBrianSlade To speak of comprehension, you have no idea what my comment was about. I was making fun of you for referring drugs to this music. You can't go to almost any Industrial/experimental/noise music video on youtube without some half-wit saying 'lololol drugs' or some dumb shit like that. The song may be about drugs, but a person can understand a drug song without having to have used drugs, right? I'm a fan of Lou Reed, and I can understand his drug songs without the drugs.

  • @KingOfUm no, you can't.

  • @darkRoyalty Good god, I really hate pretentious people.

  • @KingOfUm good god, shut up.

  • @darkRoyalty You were the one not minding your own business. Since you failed to notice I was not insulting EN or trying to spread my ego, I was only saying that I hate people who make drug-references on Industrial music videos, because people fucking do it all the time.

    And how the hell do you get off so high and mighty without even saying anything concrete or interesting, 'no you can't; good god, shut up', yeah, you're such an intellectual.

  • @KingOfUm Actually, this song is not about drugs but rather the result of an experiment Blixa practiced on himself. If I remember correctly, he wanted to know how sleeplessness would affect his Central Nervous System (which is what ZNS stands for) so he went something like 4 days without sleep and wrote the song.

  • @SoNickPick That's something of what I had read in the Strategies Against Archetecture 2 booklet, but I couldn't remember. It just pisses me off straight when I read these idiotic comments, not to mention the type of jackasses, li MrBrianSlade, who think they're hilarious.

  • @KingOfUm You're exactly right! That's where I read it... But don't get to worked up about trolls and let haters hate; I'm just glad somebody posted that awesome video on YT.

  • @SoNickPick Me too, I love the whole film. Did you know that they just recently released it on DVD? I have it only on VHS.

    You're right, people really shouldn't raise their blood pressure over internet quarrels.

  • entyre poésie, rock experimentale et theatre.. (meme si les neuibauten n'ont jamaos font du theatre en vrai) j'adore!!!!!!!!!!

  • there was never something like it before and there will not ever be something like that again

  • Throbbing Gristle quite literally invented the term "industrial music" in the 70s. They started a label called Factory Records with the slogan "Industrial music for industrial people." Industrial music at its start was not dance music, it was a sort of anti-music experimental movement. Einsturzende Neubauten is an amazing band and in many ways evokes the experimental and transgressive impulses that inspired the early industrial music genre.

  • Comment removed

  • I can hardly write their name, but they are oh so zehr zehr good. I am moving to Berlin. Who wants to join me?

    Check out Blume, if you haven't already.

  • I can hardly write their name, but they are oh so zehr zehr good. I am moving to Berlin. Who wants to join me?

  • i do believe he actually coined the term 'industrial' due to their use of no musical instruments at this time, grinders and 45 gallon drums instead

  • ..das Zimmer hat Seegang.

    

  • If this song is industrial, than Nick Cave is industrial too... You are really talking nonsense...

  • whoa this is the crazyest shit ever!

  • amazing!.. look like some sort of tribal dance...futuristic and archaic at the same time!

  • Veoh is no longer available in BRAZIL. If you are not in BRAZIL or think you have received this message in error, please go to veoh.com and report the issue.

    Good, I can´t see the full video =(

  • Thank you so much for the video link! I think that seeing this movie yesterday just changed my life, though I still have yet to know how. As for the arguments regarding Industrial music, though, I think the concept of Collapsing New Buildings is illustrated here as the pivotal cornerstone of the movement. That, and Blixa's screaming still gives me raging orgasms. But the art-meets-philosophy thing is still there. :D

  • This is the ever first time that I see EN´svideo, I´ll check the german text, maybe so i can understand what the fuck this video means. Their crazy surreal so called music piece is awesomely impressive and quite shocking at times, but like this one, this is a blast. Well done..!!

  • A Perfect Circle totally ripped this off, like ICP stealing their song "Miracles" from Chris and Cosey.

  • wtf is this video supposed to mean

  • Reznor had his place but this isn't it. This is the holy ground.

  • trent who what now? reznor is a dirty dirty name never spoken in the midst of this level artistry. and keep austin weird? fuck you. that city wouldn't know creativity if it spawned a universe wide revolution within it's supposedly liberal city limits. we can only hope that one of us or at best or something we come in contact with at worst makes strides that make this much sense in the scheme of it all in the next 5 years. somebody get to werk!!

  • these guys got a great imagination

  • YES !! traveling from Dublin to Amsterdam to see them in October. Went to London to see them once, but they canceled on the day. Hopefully this time it works out better.

  • Yes yes yes! Thanks a million for posting this. This is the sorce! Without E.N. and Skinny puppy....well,....SUCK IT REZNOR! yea.

  • ESN...Yum!

  • WOW, The waking nightmares of a crystal meth addict !!!! This is Fun WEEEEEE !!!!!!

  • Einsturzende Neubauten + Japanese butoh dancers - way to go!

  • hell realm.

  • Einstürzende Neubauten INVENTED Industrial music!!!

  • @rotedrachen No.

  • @rotedrachen - as great as EN are, bands like SPK and Severed Heads (Australia) and Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire (UK), were making similar music in the late 70s, several years before EN formed... though EN took it further.

  • @EYEmusique  I always found SPK Boring, personally.

  • @rotedrachen well, they didn't Throbbing Gristle did... but that doesn't stop Neubauten being fantastic.

  • @rotedrachen

    Don't like the label "Industrial" for this music. I have been into electronic and experimental music a long time and most of my favorite groups don't like the label either. Newer Metropolis artist can use that term because most of the music put out under that label is regurgitated thin crap anyway. Einsturzende Neubauten ARE fantastic in every way please don't cheapen or dumb down there status by calling them "industrial".

  • @idm808

    THANK YOU

  • @idm808 Agreed. I really cant put a label on them. They have some songs that are as far away from the term "industrial" as can be, but then some like this.

  • Comment removed

  • @rotedrachen

    Throbbing Gristle existed before though.

    But they might be the best industrial band I would agree with that!

  • ¿industrial? Thats not exist, (es una banda que le da prioridad a la percusión con objetos desechables, ya se habia hecho y aun se hace de nuevas maneras), people find this thing of stuff by youtube and star to post stupid coments (like this maybe too) about music, this and nin and blablablabla sorry my caca english.

  • @rotedrachen I don't want to split hairs but I think that honour belongs to Throbbing Gristle.

  • @rotedrachen Throbbing Gristle invented industrial music. Nice try, fanboy. To be fair, though, E.N. were early on the scene and incredibly important pioneers.

  • @rotedrachen no, ni ahi. Throbbing Gristle creó el sello industrial

  • @rotedrachen Pretty sure Throbbing Gristle did. TG was from 1975 and Einstürzende Neubauten was from 1980. Both great bands.

  • O_O I'm in love.

  • i just read the history of this band and i think this guys are genius... i mean this is the spirit of the music... like they doesn't need do nothing to like to you 'cause what they do are passionately. fuck comercial shit... fuck mtv fuck the radio... long live to the under music ! ! !

  • y que mierda hago yo tirando blipis y clickis desde un pc,??????

    cuando pierdo el amor por la musica siempre vuelvo a E.N.

  • i think this song is about hte central nervous system

  • Comparing Einsturzende Neubauten is really pointless as well. All of what I have heard and seen has more emphasis on performance than music. Einsturzende Neubauten is obviously great. But to say that NIN (and whomever else you want to degrade) isn't as good as Einsturzende Neubauten is like talking about different types of ice cream and saying that turkey is good.

  • I want my 80s back

  • "OUR" 80´s!!!!

  • that´s the real 80´s ...the industrial music! the underground! not the copy´s of sinth pop, and bad versions of real music!!

  • It was the spirit of the age,inkognito!!!

  • i used to have a hard time spelling this guy's name lol

  • krass krass krass...!

  • That's Brent Treznor to you, mister!

    But yeah, EN makes him look like Justin Timberlake. Some of the more dissonant stuff off The Downward Spiral was pretty good though.

  • when i first heard this song I was so caught up with the rhythm..oh I just loooove it!!!

  • Was passiert, wenn man japanischen Exzentrismus und musikalisches Gedankengut ala Einstürzende Neubauten miteinander kombiniert?

    Außergewöhnliches, Kunsvolles, Verrücktes, Krachiges, Makaberes, Rockiges.....

    einfach nur schön zuzusehen!

  • dancers in video for stinkfist are Osseus Labyrint

  • bitchin

  • 日本語に突っ込みを・・・

  • This is NiN and Tools grandfather.Old school shit.

  • totally agree with you!

  • When I got this DVD I thought the exact same thing.

  • What does tool have to do with anything

  • @45009234 i think this song is about the central nervous system

  • bla bla bla geld

    cash

    ihave the shirt on at this minitelook to my videoresponse on that peace staggersu

  • Did any members of DaiRakudokan ever do anything with the band Tool (i.e. the video for "Stinkfist") ?

  • just i have eheh!!! with buto great!!!!!!!

  • Crack.

  • It will never become better than this.. crazy German musicians together with crazy Japanese dancers.. One of the most industrial tracks in history.. and a bloody good one. I can only say one thing to mr Reznor: "Look, listen, kneel.. pray"

  • nin and einsturzende neubauten are both good

  • I'm pretty sure Einsturzende is WAY better...

  • @azynkron

    He's not allowed look

  • @azynkron hahahhaah nevermind

  • @azynkron just because someone uses a drum machine it doesn't make it "Industrial." honestly lacks any depth.

  • @azynkron Trent Reznor is a hack.

  • @azynkron little weird fact, Henry Rollins has their logo tattooed on him. I saw it in sons of anarchy. Reznor knows nothing compared to these guys. I hear some influence in Mike Patton's projects at times.

  • dance... the central nervous system..it dances..

  • Comment removed

  • this song makes me feel alive. it´s so muck engegy and... Art. Einsturzende Neubauten is phenomenal and Blixa is a hero.

  • dei geni blixa è un grande! bellissimo video bel pz

  • I fuckin love this devilish killer sound and beat of this song and band. Can't get enough of it.

  • Bocc

  • EN meet Sogo Ishii! I love this. And as a matter of fact I love the entire Halber Mensch film.

  • Les destructeurs de nouveaux bâtiments...

  • When I first heard this, I thought it was:

    'Tanz of/the sick(en)ness'

    I suppose that is appropriate for butoh

  • Zentralnervensystem

  • tremendo!!!

  • Bellissimo, vorrai dire

  • where cna i learn how to pronunce their name?

  • @ DevilJins: for an english speaker, the phonetic transscription would be something like "iyn-shtyrtzen-deh noy-bouten"

  • hm.. I'd suggest you try to check upp some videos on some different places. Its kinda tricky to show how its pronounced with the english sounds on the letters.

  • Its pronounce is "TONNO"

  • I love EN, but this video is sincerely disturbing. i like it.

  • *****remenber , 1998 CLUB cine opera mEXICO CITY huauuuuu

  • The ' nervous system dances'

  • grotesque performances always go well with neubauten's music

  • Genial!

  • i do love it

    too great

    too wunderful

    thanks for uploading

  • it´s not wunderful but wonderful

    I would write wunderbar

  • That is so fucking weird.

  • This does wonderful things for my meninges.

  • ke fottuti!! stupendo

  • It's not the red of cabernet sauvignon..No,No No..It's Not that red

  • Stellare!

  • EN + butoh = <3

  • 4:05-4:08 shes a gonna eat ya!!!!

  • Es tanzt das ZNS !

  • _0_

  • //I don't this ''music'' at first

    but i can't stop watch it now

  • !!!

  • Throw in some crazy japanese and some crazy germans.. what do you get?

    One of the best industrial songs made.. Somehow this song has always defined the genre for me allthough EN perhaps would call them selves Avantgarde.

  • yea dude, im soo into rammstein, NIN, all those industrial works. My dad introduced me to these guys and wow, ppl whom are fans of the fore mentioned sould pay mad respects to this band.

  • Of course, ZNS is my favorite song from Halber Mensch. But I know of others just as great from O.T, Kollaps, and Stahlmusik, check the other albums out if you haven't already.

    Although, Halber Mensch should be such a credit to Industrial music.

    Geeze, Blixa Bargeld would hate us calling his music Industrial, haha.

  • I always thought of them as the type of band that would comeout of the ashes of the apocalypse. Like they knew they should be playing music but they didn't know what music is.

  • oh yes it's great:-) But really funny (for me) is 4:58;-)

  • Wow, great music!!!

    2:57 is so funny XD

  • No they don't.

  • wicked...I like the primitive camera work, and am glad my ZNS no longer tantzt.

  • It's awsome...no, not awsome...I can't find the right words I can't believe that someone could do something like that Only EN were able

    love it till the end of the world

  • It looks like a musical-version of "Tetsuo - The Iron Man" :)

  • first I associated on Tetsuo too... glad to see it's not only me!

  • tja da war Blixa noch kreativ... ;-)

  • this is pure art !!

  • i love this so much

  • a matter of artistic creativity. brilliant!

  • I won't be able to sleep tonight but...

    great art

  • The Butoh Dancers are a fine piece of work! I love the video, pure originality and Industrial likeliness :]

  • what up ammutbite. ES TANZT DER ZET EN ES

  • its funny how the neubauten crew actually looks somewhat "normal" in comparison to the japanese butoh dancers! i didn't even know this video existed until i saw a clip of it featured on the "listen with pain" documentary. excellent collaboration! deliciously eccentric and creepy!

  • But when you think about it, EN DO look very "normal", with the exception of Blixa back in the day. Oftentimes, the most amazing and unusual music is created by the most ordinary and rather bland looking people.

  • H.Bosch meet E.Neubatan. Demonic.

  • No ijustsigneduptobagu this is nothing like Birthday Party, this is the birth of industrial music. Einsturzende Neubauten are the greatest! What a fantastic clip. Check out Muslim Gauze, Skinny Puppy, Diamanda Galas, John Zorn...

  • Run Blixa, ruuuuuuuuuunnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hm, I'm a big fan of EN and all the rest of HM I really like but this didn't impress me too much I must say. It sounds like they're using an electric drum kit

  • Then you don't know EN.

  • Did you just post 3 comments regarding mine?

    Err...

  • Yeah, sorry man, I'm really not great at this whole "internet" malarky; I shall desist presently.

  • i love it!:-)

  • It's Einsturzende Neubauten. It says it on the top.

  • art

  • Fantastic to see that this band is known in the U.S.

    Are their records available in the States?

    Do you have english versions of the lyrics?

    YouTube is about to change my way of seeing the world... Neubauten known in the U.S........
