[kj] rammstein-shine or shit?

[Brendan Quinn]

Rammstein were not-quite headliners at a festival gig I went to a year ago,
below Tool. As much as I thought I'd never live to see the day, they
probably put on a better show. Lead singer had a ton of stage presence and
energy, and volume, and Tool just couldn't get it up, Maynard fluffed a
chorus or two etc. Too much bloody wine maybe.

 

I'm in a similar boat, never really gave Rammstein much effort, but perhaps
for that reason, on the day I was really surprised and they basically stole
the show. I only got in front of them so I could better position myself for
the Tool (oo er). I've got the Mutter album but never really listened to it
other than Du Hast, which is cool but pretty metal by numbers. The thing is
an annoying size and sticks out in my collection, bloody germans ;p

 

So my 2c - don't really know if they have any nuance but if you like a good
metal stadium gig, they deliver.

Quite a few jokers I know are into Rammstein.  Can't say they've ever done
it for me, but I've never really tried.

just picked up the made in germany cd along with my smurf dvd,
told by the girl in hmv,'she really wanted to play it but not allowed to
play 
non festive stuff'
 
i picked it up as i havn't got ich will and sonne on cd,
 
i looked at 2010 rockring? german gig on u tube looked awesome, but
we saw them in brixton academy the week after the shepherds bush kj gig 
(2005?)and we walked out after 10 minutes and sat in the bar as a man in a
pot 
was brought in on the opener, and the band were playing on different levels
and 
the whole thing just looked too like 'pull the plug out and they're fucked'
 
i read a review in kerrang 2 weeks ago which said they were becoming a 
pantomine.
 
i think till lindemann is one of the best front men around, but have i
missed 
something?
 
i've yet to hear a rammstein album with more than 2 good tracks on yet they
seem 
inpirational live on a stadium stage when they put their catalogue
together.(but 
not in a 5000? seat venue after hearing killing joke the week
before-especially 
after hearing sgd &dbd for the first time}
 
jaz once said he'd like rammstein as support?!!!
