Rammstein

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Girls' latest comes hot on the buttocks of Rammstein's preposterous video for their single 'Pussy', which was released on a webcam sex site and features members (in two senses of the word) of Rammstein in, out and waved about a bevy of scantily, and eventually entirely unclad, porno-cliche women. Of course, Rammstein being Rammstein it's all part of their epic wind-up as Teutonic agent provocateurs. Perhaps they could be granted that if a) 'Pussy' wasn't the weakest song on an otherwise superb album and b) from Rammstein, a video featuring oodles of shagging hardly feels that exciting. The group sitting down for tea with the local vicar would surely have been more revolutionary. The flagrant use of nudity can, of course, be intended to subvert - The Cribs no doubt had this in mind when they employed a naked lovely to cavort around the set in the anti-lad anthem 'Men's Needs', though the jury is out on whether the one-handed mouse hunters who tuned in got the message. And anyway, Throbbing Gristle playing along to the COUM castration film it wasn't, and you could argue that even Add (N) to X's 'Plug Me In' was, a nearly a decade ago, and rather fitted their seedy brothel electronica.

How's this for an intro, no shuffling onstage and muttering "hello" for these boys:

That translates variously as

Dead People Cool!

Dead One Geil! :confused:

or

Dead Horny! :eek:


I'm confused. Not for the first time where Rammstein are concerned.

I told my ex-boyfriend not to sell that footage of me with my friends to Rammstein!!! I was so angry. Oh well, at least I'll be famous.
I long for the pork of Porcupine. (A slide show dedicated mostly to Will right here.... http://www.examiner.com/rock-music-in-l ... -here-tour)

Crap seats, fantastic gig. Go and see them!

Rammstein
MEN Arena
February 2, 2010

ARRIVING by 20 trucks and taking 10 hours to construct, the latest arena spectacular by German superstars Rammstein is probably the greatest rock show on the road.

Fronted by a man who sings like Boris Karloff and looks like a barbarian in fetish gear, Rammstein make techno-flavoured industrial metal known as Neue Deutsche Hrte. They also like to blow things up.

In the debut UK performance of their latest tour, everything was planned to perfection, executed with precision (even the mic stands were motorised, surely the BMW of band kit), and powered by pyrotechnics. Wars have been fought for less oil than was burned during this show.

Climax

In one set piece, a pretend stage invader in a black hoody was set alight. In another, singer Till Lindeman and the band's two guitarists wore flamethrowers on their faces, while Wiener Blut saw the stage strewn with eerie, laser-eyed dolls which then exploded.

The highlight of the show wasn't petrol-powered. During the tongue-in-cheek Pussy, the climax of the main part of the show, Lindeman mounted a giant cannon and soaked the first third of the packed crowd. Some staff looked less than amused. A tough move to follow? Not for Rammstein, who closed the encore with Lindemann dressed as a metallic, flaming demon for the stirring Engel.

If it seems as if the music seems incidental, it wasn't the bands dark, doom-laden dance-metal was utterly compelling throughout, a ceaseless assault of razor-sharp guitars, unrelenting beats and blood-curdling vocals.

Popular opinion has it that a foreign-language band needs to sing in English to appeal to UK audiences, but these Teutonic rockers have proved that's just not the case. Great showmanship and great explosions are an international language.

Without a doubt one of the best gigs I've ever seen.
