I'm learning German right now. But its because of Rammstein, I have a German background, and I want to learn a 2nd language.

I'm german but grew up in the US with my parents speaking English

That's really cool. Good luck with it, mate! I'm german and I learn English.

Du bist sehr nett

Vielen Dank!

Danke

when the only lyric from sehnsucht you can understand is the sad wailing in the background

Are they a german metal band?

Yes, they are a german band. They are pretty popular around the world even though they sing in German. One of their most famous songs is "Du Hast"

I think it's really cool that the audience sings in German even though the concert is in France.

Rammstein also uses amazing pyrotechnics on stage. Till Lindemann (the singer) is actually a pyrotechnician. One of my favourite effects is when he wears wings that are set on fire. He wears them when they play the song "Engel" which translates to angel. Anyway, here are some videos with some of their best effects:
