Rammstein videos

[bosscerbera]

Been watching a few of these videos and thought they were pretty incredible.

Anyone else a fan?

[Forthright MC]

ohh yess! Rammstein are mighty!

i thoroughly recommend the "Volkerball" CD/DVD package, the concert footage from the show in Nimes is epic!

Amerika, Ich Will and Benzin are probaly my favourite vids from them

Recognised Amerika when I heard it today but had never seen the video before, very very clever.

Have pulled down about 16 videos on Torrent, been watching on a 4 metre projector screen with 3.5kW of audio. Absolutely mindblowing.

Is the Nimes show the Feuer Frei performance with the fires on stage and down the sides of the audience?

theres always fire when Feuer Frei is about to be played! (well theres fire pretty much all the time at any Rammstein gig! and amazing pyro too! )

I can't believe I've only just stumbled on them - the production standards are extraordinary!

Who/what are they? Heavy German equivalent of the Floyd???

Awestruck!

[Forthright MC]

i believe they are known as german industrial or "Tanz" (dance) metal, whatever the catagory is they're awesome IMO! the band was founded in '94 and they have released 5 albums (6th is on the way)they have sold about 12 million records worldwide IIRC and the band still has all its original members!

some good background and band info here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rammstein

LOL! Had the same effect on you when you discovered them then?!?

Till Lindemann's booming, sub-sonic voice would send the peasants fleeing into their barns and bolting their doors

That's about the sum of it!

oh yeah they certainly did! i had a few of their albums, but then i sold them (to a languages teacher of all people!) and rediscovered them and the new material a while later. i then set about reacquiring their back catalogue (still haven't got Sehnsucht back yet, must get around to finding a copy!)

This is how I first heard Rammstein last year, pretty tragic footage though........

This is quite cool though

Strange you hadn't heard of the band before Phil, I'm sure I gave you a copy of my TR compilation that I did last year, it had 2 Rammstein tracks on it.

Get yourself to one of their gigs, bloody amazing! just don't stand too near the front, a mate of mine had the hair singed off his forearm

Didn't make the connection!

[Forthright MC]

only just managed to find this little gem!

the absolutely tremendous Volkerball encore of "Stripped"

Rammstein singing in english and crowdsurfing pontoons ahoy!

When i heard the R'stein boys for the first time it reminded me to this:

Late 80s Belgium front 242, a techno fav.

[SlidingSideways]

I acquired a copy of an album called Muttertag (I think is a bootleg, can't find it actually for sale anywhere) which I can only describe as a sort of "Pete Tong essential mix of Rammstein songs".
Fantastic driving music

[Nickthebassist]

Rammstein = mint. I love their pounding menace, it's brilliant for working out to too.

[Kuroblack350]

Simply awesome band - saw them live at Manchester on their last tour - easily the greatest live band I've ever seen. (you could FEEL the flames!)

So many good tracks, I love Engel, Reise Reise, ALL of the mutter material.

They also make cracking (if a little weird) ringtones - Sehnsucht and Zerstoren especially!!!
