So then, got a chance to see Rammstein in March. I've been on Youchoob and their stage show looks awesome apart from the band looking a bit, well.... Gimpy.
Not sure about music either, but tempted to go for the spectacle of it all.
Any Rammstein aficionados here?
will be seeing them in Newcastle end of February... 2nd time seeing them and looking forward to it (and whilst I have to be in the right mood for their music usually, the whole live experience does rather put you in the right frame of mind! :D)
I'm not really a fan, but I'd love to go to a gig. Their shows are crazy!
My only experience of Rammstein is about 5 years ago when a lovely (and very attractive) young lady friend of mine plonked me in front of a large telly, surrounded by a rather expensive hi-fi (Yes! A female hi-fi geek!) whereupon she proceeded to play Rammstein's Feuer Frei on the Hi-Fi and on the telly..... A Kylie Minogue live performance of I-don't-know-what (well, I couldn't hear it) which had blokes prancing about in leather uniforms waving big flags.
It was utter genius. It synced perfectly!
I'm not a Rammstein afficionado, but Reise, Reise is a great album. Los is my personal fave on there, but it's certainly not their typical style!
Sawtooth you have to go,
I don't listen to Rammstein a lot but I go see them live every chance I get their show is awesome and a must see IMO.
I've seen them twice so far and have a ticket to see them on the 25th of Feb in Birmingham, even if your not familiar with the music I don't think you can help but enjoy their live show it really is worth seeing :)
Thanks everyone for your comments - i'm feeling suitably encouraged to go now, obviously wearing flame retardant clothing and possibly earplugs!
Saw them back in '02 or something. Their shows are crazy indeed. :D
Certainly a band worth seeing live. I've some of there live DVD's and they are pretty crazy. The fire mask in particular :oops:
Made it home... and it was... quite quite awesome :)
Saw them in Birmingham on Saturday and for me they just keep getting better, although this was a bit of greatest hits tour everything they did that they'd done before in terms of the show they did bigger and better
Wow - so looking forward to this show tonight. I've watched a few youtube clips from the O2 gig and it looks astounding! :)
I would totally recommend ANYONE to catch Rammstein live. Even if you don't particularly get off on their music (and I was borderline). If you don't come out of one of their shows with a huge grin on your face you probably haven't got a pulse. Over the top with a good dollop of excess on top. Stunning.
Glad you enjoyed it... but as you say, you'd have to be a corpse not to (hmm, does that include the protagonist of Milliontown then? ;))! Pure theatrical extravagance at it's jaw dropping finest :)
Me and my ladyfriend DESPERATELY wanted to go, but all the standing seats went too quickly, and then she was in hospital on the day they were playing manchester. Well gutted.
Quote from: "RobRideout"...and then she was in hospital on the day they were playing manchester. Well gutted.
I hope that last bit is a statement of disappointment and not the medical outcome of her visit?? :? ;)
Hope she is well/OK...or indeed "well OK". :)
She's ok :P She wasn't gutted in the hospital, thankfully. I don't think they do that anymore, do they?!
Our music tastes overlap very rarely, so it's a shame to miss out on a band we're both passionate about, though.
There's loads of youtube footage of the Nottingham gig and although it might not be much of a substitute, it DOES capture a lot of the energy and spectacle. Some of the audio quality is a bit duff but it WAS bloody loud! Watch the end of Amerika - it's mental! :D
I don't think I'm overstating things here - but this could have quite possibly been the best gig I've EVER been to. And that list includes Genesis in Knebworth in the late 70's, Yes on the Going for the One tour and Muse on the Black Holes & Revelations tour.

Not familiar with the band at all,but that 2nd.clip(http://youtu.be/WV1eWK4YYjM (http://youtu.be/WV1eWK4YYjM))...is amazing! :DLooks like a great night out!
Now, Jem could learn a thing or two from Flake... like playing keyboards whilst on a treadmill... music and exercise in one!
And more flames... actually... for Frost* we'd probably want snow-guns :D
I'd vote for a strict snow-guns policy too. :)
Quote from: "Pedro"I'd vote for a strict snow-guns policy too. :)
Not sure about that - Rammstein have got that cornered too.
Except i don't thing it's supposed to be snow, and I don't think it's suppost to be a gun.... ulp! :shock:
I won't include a YouTube link as it's a bit rude, but the more intrepid can do a search for themselves...
Not even remotely close to the video for the song in question in rude terms... :shock:
And 'twas not cold enough... proper snow or nothing I say!
