    They are a German, supposedlly 'industrial' metal band with some techno, orchestrial hint to it. Anyway, they're great.

    uhm...

    They don't take their own group serious. They have an act with a giant dildo and milk. They use Nazi footage and symbols. They are a mockery of industrial music. They are not unique soundwise. Listen to Ministry and all other metal-industrial mergers.

    I like the Lost Highway contribution.

    Have you heard the beatles, the stones, the doors, pink floyd, ...? It is hard to understand how one could vote them best band ever.

    Thanks for replying.

    First things first.
    A - They do sound unique, Ministry sound remotely similar and if you actually sit down and listen to every single song like I have, you'd see the differences straight away. If Rammstein and Ministry sound alike, shouldn't I like both bands? I'm not to big on ministry, I only like their guitars.
    B - Stripped is good, not a Rammstein original, but good
    C - They do take themselves seriuosly. They are very into their music. The shows they put on are to entertain. I don't think in the slightest that they failed.
    D - They don't use Nazi footage. They use historic footage. I believe that U2, NIN and many other famous bands did the same thing. They just include a few Nazi's here and there, so did Saving Private Ryan. Are you going to have a go at Steven Speilberg about that. One of their songs (Links 2,3,4) is about marching. Now, what did the German soldiers in WW2 do a lot of...you in the back there...marching, yes, thank you.
    E - Yes, theres an E. I didn't even mention that they are the best band ever. Did anyone else. Its down to personal opinion. I hate the Beatles, The Doors and Pink Floyd. You sound excatly like someone I know, a certain Joseph R. He says the same things. I have a huntch that you and he are the same. Correct me if I'm wrong.
    F - Du Hast is good. Have you heard the Techno Remix
    G - God I'm passionate aboput Rammstein...can you tell?

    So... if we all were to vote for our favourite bands ever, wouldn't you vote for Rammstein?

    Yes I would vote for them, but I didn't say that they are the best band on Earth. Rammstein wouldn't even get into the top ten best bands on Earth. In my personal opinion, I think that Ramms+ein are my favourite band of all time. Someone like the (crappy) beatles would get it, definatly not Ramms+ein. Its all this prejudice thats going around. Even you A4Ever showed some prejudice towards Ramms+ein.

    Didn't I first look and then judge?

    i dont get this argument, you are arguing something completely pointless. Rammstein are certainly not the most popular band and i'm sure they are not the most original band out there. Most people wouldnt even know Rammstein - This is why the "'crappy beatles'" would be voted best band ever - not because they are predudice! We all have opinons on whos our favorite band, why cant we just leave it at that - although, i dont see it possible to have a favourite band ever because simply there are so many music varietys and bands that you cannot hear them all, in my opinion it would be closed minded to vote a band the best band ever.

    Ho, and H...die Faust was never a song by Rammstein.

    and I...like them not because of "Du Hast". At first I thought it was horribly scheiss but I wasn't one to judge by just one song, so I tried others and today I have all three of their albums (and many more).

    But Thor, we are too much into this crazy band for them to understand all of this, aren't we?

    whatever dude, it makes no difference to me. to be honest i will still be able to get a good nights sleep knowing that out there, there are people that follow blindly one band.

    I like Megaherz. And we're not crazy for following one band. It shows our dedacation.

    Anyway, I'm also a big fan of the following:
    Static - X
    Karmic Jera
    Megaherz
    The Rollins Band
    Metallica
    M. Manson
    Gun 'n Rose
    Slayer



    Rammstein are the best though (my best)

    I just got the Resident Evil soundtrack today. I only got it for Rammstein: Halleluja. I've got it on my PC, I wanted it on CD and was willing to pay £12 for. Stupid ain't I. But its one of my fav songs.
