Nothing. It's gibberish. According to Joe Elliot (the lead singer), that's their producer, Robert John "Mutt" Lange just being funny and counting in the song. (aka 1 2 3 4). But you are right in the words, that is him saying Gunter Glieben Glauten Globin

The line "Gunter glieben glauchen globen" at the start of "Rock Of Ages" came about when Lange uttered the phrase after getting bored of saying "one, two, three, four" in the studio. The band thought it to be so amusing that it ended up on intro of the final recording. The phrase is not proper German and actually doesn't mean anything. The line was later used by punk band The Offspring as the intro on their 1998 single Pretty Fly (For A White Guy).

It's German for "It's better to record ballads over and over than to burn out!"

It's latin for "It's better to burn out, than to fade away!"
Seriously though, I haven't a clue. Does sound like it could be a countdown, but after he says that, their is a drum countdown, so who knows?
