What I like about Rammstein is that they don't mind doing some silly stuff to put on a good show, like silly costumes and all. A bit of effort to be entertaining. Good stuff.
What I like about Rammstein is that noone can force you to go to one of their gigs. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I recognize their high entertainment value.

listening to rammstein...my hd is filling with their music videos... ICH WILL ICH WILL ICH WILL ICH WILL ICH WILL ICH WILL ICH WILL ICH WILL ICH WILL .... back to listening btw, ICH WILL is a GREAT song.
rammstein.... appears to be....a....uh...less "homosexual" version of kiss....or perhaps a love child of kiss and alice cooper. all about the flary, explosive live show...to make up for the muzik. im sorry....im trying to understand what ppl see in them, i really am....but someitmes my negativity gets the better of me.... see....theres a time for brain-bashing, arm-thrashing,person-killing techno/metal....but seriously....how can you say its your favorite type of musik to listen to 24-7? and on top of that, even if it IS, how can you differentiate between rammstein and kmfdm/mdfmk and all the other hardcore german naziesque-connoing bands? what makes rammstein special?
personally for me it is their new age metal. ummmm I duno, it's really hard to tell. melody, words, vocals.... yeah- good question I listen 24/7 to metal AND trancePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! can't really agree. I for the first 5 mnths had heard only their cd. only recently an idea struck me, that I could try and find their videos.
Hey Avatar, I've been on the Herzeleid.com e-mail thingy for a while now, but at least someone else thinks its good. Rammstein just really want to entertain people. I think they've pulled it off quite well. Having actually been to a concert of theirs, I can say that they have to put up with a lot. I was near the front, and when they pulled out the pyrotecniks out, I was sweating in less than 10secs. It was boiling. Even after moving back to the middle, the heat was amazing. Plus there was all the skin heads for Raging Speedhorn there that hated Rammstein just because they were German. They threw bottles (plastic, still hurts though), food, anything they could get there hands on. I think that Rammstein has got quite an unique sound. Not like other bands like Megaherz who sound similar but have a sort of rap thing going. Yak. Who says I only follow one band blindly, I follow many bands with my eyes wide open (half closed if I get hit in the face for wearing one of there T-Shirts, that happens sometimes)
One can be a generalist too Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Just to chime in that Rammstein is my favorite rock band next to Guns 'n Roses. However, I'm also a big fan of Pink Floyd. I like Rammstein's crispness and fullness of sound and yet a certain musical subtlety at the same time. It's unique; I've not heard anything in that class that could match them. Very tight stuff, slightly techno, and bloody gory gothic as hell. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Though not being a German speaker I'm not able to benefit from the actual verse. Perhaps so much the better, as I've been told by a German friend that most of the Rammstein songs are either moronic in content or just blinkin' perverse to a fault. I don't mind; I listen for the music. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Couldn't have said it better myself Overdoze. i think your better off not knowing what they say example: Speil Mit Mir = Play With Me (and not in the lets play tag way) Buch Dich = Bend Over Zwitter = Homaphrodite (I can't spell that, I hope you all know what that means, if not, ask) They have managed to blend at least three types of music (Metal, Tekno and Orchestrial + others) and pulled it off rather well.
Rammstein, a human burns, Rammstein, a mass grave, Rammstein, and the sunshine... We can see him walk around the church. Since a year he is alone. Tonight he sleeps on your grave. Marry me... marry me... (Heirate mich) Here comes the sun... here comes the sun... Just three fine examples. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Very squeky clean examples. Heirate mich is a great song. Inspired by Stargate don't you know. For full translations, go to www.herzeleid.com or .net
yup herzeleid.com is great for audio files. i'm also the webmaster of http://www.rammstein.ws (free e-mail and side-by-side lyric translations as well) anyway, even webmasters are not all too obsessed over the band. in fact, there are times we don't even listen to their music for more than a month. I like Lacrimosa (gothic) and Die Toten Hosen (punk) as well, so we all try to look for balance.
i am a long time fan of Rammstein as well. Herzeleid is my favorite album of theirs. also, i should say how it always makes me laugh when a person starts a subject on a band they like, and somebody else comes in and ridicules the person for his taste in music. i understand if you dislike the band, but to debate about whether or not one should enjoy listening to a the band in question, or to blatantly show hatred for the band and disgust for the person for being a fan of the band is ridiculous. it's musical taste, not political theory. get over it. i'm new, by the way.
I agree. I hope I just spoke my opinion and did not insult anyone. Personal taste is good. You can't discuss tastes and colors.
I say my fav albulm is Mutter as it has my favourite songs in it (Links + Zwitter) but Herzeleid comes a close second (Heirate Mich + Leichzeit + Der Meister)
