Here is a rather tame version of their concerts.

I've listened to them for years... great band.

FYI - there's a website out there somewhere that has a whole bunch of Rammstein bootlegs for download, authorized ones according to the site. Some were pretty good quality, some not so good, but worth the download.

Oh yes, I have listened to them since 1997... there is no better band to jam to when your only goal is to get really really drunk!! :D

By the way I went to their concert when they came here and it is awesome.

Also... if you have not seen the movie XXX yet, there's a great scene in the beginning that's basically Rammstein in concert.

Oh Hells yes, been listening to them since I was about 11, dont know why, but I have loved them since the minute I heard them.

Was a bit freaked out when I saw some of their live acts, im sure some of you guys know what they do (just random weird stuff, one of them included a hose and some white liquid....)

Rammstein are great. First heard them on a matrix album.

..never heard of them but I was born very close to there. I think I still have some family there too.

I had a tape of them before they became popular even here in Germany. If you like their music, try to get the "live in Berlin" dvd. They have an amazing live Performance.

Rammstein are my favourite band. In fact I'm listening to them right now.

DENN.... DU BIST.... WAS.... DU IST.... UND.... IHR WISST.... WAS.... ES IST!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

But yeah, they're the perfect combo for me - industrial rock is great. The guitar riffs (although they sound somewhat similar) are catchy, the lyrics are memorable despite the fact they're in another language, and the keyboard is pure magic. My only gripe I have with Rammstien is that they do not use Oliver's Bass Guitar to its full potential - he basically plays the same riffs that Rich/Paul play on the guitars but on a lower octave... so you can barely tell its there. Of course, you can hear it well on 'Seemann' since is Bass-based (and a masterpiece, I might add). [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm being a bit cautious not to let Gorillaz become my favourite band, because they rock too.

DAS IST MEIN TEIL!!! MEIN!!!

So cool :D

Hey, have you seen the Keine Lust video? It's funny as hell! :D

Were they are in the fat suits? yes it's hilarious.

The problem with Rammstein is that they just play Ministry songs and just put in different lyrics in German. I do admit that they do industrial well, just not as well as Ministry or Nine Inch Nails (early).

I just watched the Keine Lust video. It was awesome. I really don't think there's anything funnier then watching fat guys headbang. That was AWESOME. Now I wonder how I can apply a song about laziness to my football season... How am I supposed to get pumped when I know the song is about laziness? So sad, so sad. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

yeah what ever, but even if that was even remotely true, then you'd have to admit that the german language fits this kind of music 1000 times better than english [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm not a Ramstein fan, but there is a german band I like called Panzerchrist. The death metal fans among you should deffinatly check them out ;)

If yuo like Rammstein, you should check out the bands Richthofen, Megaherz, Totenmond and Stahlhammer.

No thanks. What's with all the sauerkraut metal lately ? :D

Hehe Johnny, I like a single German band, the rest of them are hairy nords [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

I've been listening to Rammstein since, like, the seventeenth century, man. Yeah. And if you're a real fan you'd of course have the "Live in Wittenberg" Ur-demo that they did like before anyone had ever even heard of them, guest starring Johann Faustus and his Black Poodle Band. Supergeil. [img]graemlins/yawn.gif[/img]

Do you actually understand hwat they sing?

I do, but a lot of rammstein fans don't..

I look up the lyrics usually, but not when they actually sing.

Also: OOMPH!, Eisbrecher, and Sonic Front.

Rammstein are amazing. That's all there is to say.

My friends dragged me to their show at Brixton this february. Even though I always stare in disbelief whenever anyone tries to tell me how great their music is, I can honestly say I enjoyed myself once I went with the flow of crazy jumping up and down.

I'd take Death From Above 1979 any day when I want music with that kind of riffage.

Yeah I like them. First song I heard was around 4 years ago so I don't know them very long. Don't have any CDs but I like what I've heard so far, both the new and old songs (like from the start)

You kids, go listen to some real music again. ;)

I think they're pretty good, good enough to merit me having all of their albums. The English cover of Amerika is particularly good, look out for it. :D
