"Feuer Frei!" is the command to start shooting in German military language and also a well-known song title from the German band Rammstein. It is also often mistaken with [| Fuer Frei], a german Website. Feuer frei! is one of the band's better known songs because Rammstein made an appearance in the 2002 movie xXx performing Feuer frei! from the album Mutter. It literally means "fire free" (or "fire freely"), but the closest equivalents in English would be "fire at will" or "open fire."
The UK Feuer frei! single was released in three parts (2xCD, 1xDVD), in three different colours (Yellow-Green-Orange), each with different tracklistings.
[edit] Video
The video for this song was released in America on MTV, to promote the movie xXx. The music video consisted of the band playing on a fiery stage, with several clips from the action scenes of xXx. In this video, Rammstein's new, punkier look can be observed, mainly by singer Till Lindemann's mohawk haircut. Though the band may look a little different, the song is completely faithful to their sound, including their traditional heavy riffs, hardcore drum beats, and melodic keyboarding.[citation needed]
[edit] Live story
Feuer Frei! debuted live in a concert exclusively for members of the fan area in April 2000, when it was called "Punk". Its next performance was until May 2001 (this version being the album one) and since then, it has been played in almost every Rammstein concert. During live performances of this song, Richard, Paul and Till wear flamethrower-masks; Lycopodium masks, which shoot flames several feet into the air.
