Rammstein

[apache]

Been into this bunch for a while and this video Feuer Frei from XXX is the business, anyone know where I can catch them on tour?

I only recently discovered this band, but ever since I've been awfully glad the next-door neighbour is deaf.

You could have a look here:

http://rammsteinsite.com/
http://rammsteinniccage.com/

but according to the second site, they're not touring at the moment and probably won't tour now until there's a new album out.

Great band, my german exchange student told me about them, they're lyrics are really twisted though.

Just grabbed a few tracks off WinMX - blimmin good stuff, best not put any in the multichanger though.

Might lead to some unnecessaily rapid driving...

You think? I reckon they're quite clever!

I agree with the point about unnecessarily rapid driving, though...

Edited to add: If anyone's downloading, get "Engel" and "Spieluhr". Superb stuff!!

Ok yer they're quite clever, for instance, the album 'Mutter' is kinda like a story, but I mean Adios talks about putting the needle on the vein, and Zwitter is about Hermaphrodite's.

How many english or american bands sing about hermaphrodite's?

Edited to add: I love listening to the intro of Adios on full chuff quality guitar. Must keep it out of the car though after I pass my test.
And SGirl, they're great tracks.

Yeah, great band. I got into them when I worked in Germany. There is an interesting theme running through most of the videos dont you think? Dominant woman and submissive men. Like (cant remember the song) the one with Snow white or "du riecht so gut" with the wolfs and the women. Did they also do the video with Lara croft? .....or "mutter" (mother), do they have issues

Agree - good music, and I only encountered their music this year. So any suggestions for similar sounding music, I'm always looking for new good music from the German scene. The best music I discoverd this year though was VNV Nation, though they're not exactly new.

top band, really tight, fast and punchy guitar, catchy riffs, lyrics.....weeell can't have everything and they have a wicked sense of humour, just have to see them live. Interesting to find so many post adolescents (to put it kindly) into this stuff

I've never been described as a "post adolescent" before!! Thanks Apache - I think!!

Maybe a PH visit to a Rammstein show would be in order? I'd love to see them live too.
