Rammstein, whats the general opinion on this group?

Run_to_da_hills

I played a couple of tracks from their Mutter album at a rock night on Saturday and they went down like a led Baloon, "get that German crap off etc" had to quickly fade them out. Is there any Rammstein fans out there?

Karl Hungus

Good god, I can't imagine when Rammstein wouldn't go down well, terrific band.

Royale with Cheese

I likey

Run_to_da_hills

I would normally follow them after something from Metallica, I believed they backed up Metallica at a few gigs. Have two of their albums although my favourite is the Mutter.

nyarlothothep

Good songs and good cheese

SUPER SUPER Band ............. incredible live shows also!!!!!

an_dorchadas

I love them ... LOOOOVE THEM!! Absolutely love them. And so to sum up...they're fabulous...

Otis Driftwood

Cool band and the video For Keine Lust is quality.
The song kicks ass too!

Somnus

Ah they're a great band. I usually go through periods of listening to them. Which is good cause I dont get tired of them.

I'd love to see them live!

Rammstein are great. I can't believe they didn't go down well at a rock night, I love it when I hear Rammstein in a pub. It usually gets people jumping.

I'd love to see them live.

KTRIC

Feckin great band. I have all their albums.

I found that a lot of Germans don't like them. Some even said that they're music "sounds" very Pro-Nazi

kev_s88

listened to them today for the first time in about 6 months and i was blown away all over again.Mutter is such a good album.every song on it is pure quality.

its one of the few albums that i could just listen to every song over and over again and not get tired of them in any way.

its also cool cause i understand the majority of what they're saying :D

I quite like Rammestein myself and most rock/metal fans I know like them as well so I'm surprised they got such a hostile reception. Out of curiousity, what did you play that the crowd liked?

GLaDOS

Have Mutter, Rosenrot and recently got Sehnsucht. Mutter and Rosenrot are seriously class albums. Sehnsucht is a much different style but i like, havent listened to it enough to make up my mind on it yet.

But anyway, yea, Rammstein are deadly

lord lucan

savage band,must have been a seriously tough crowd for that not to down well

Oral Slang

Excellent band - really love them. One of the only bands I like that I haven't seen live yet, really wish they'd play one of the festivals..

Maiden, AC/DC and Metallica die hards. Even anything relativly fresh from Maiden like "Fear of the Dark" or stuff from Metallicas "St Anger" album (I would consider not great myself) would also not go down well.

lord lucan

sounds like they needed educating but wouldn't listen. any of the st. anger stuff would be too long for a rock night but i don't get why they wouldn't like rammstein,most metal fans i know love them

i hate people like that. they don't like music... they like the "style"... or whatever. morons.

as for rammstein, stunning example of a band. it's rare that every single album from a band is pure gold..

DeadSkin

Have heard a lot of their stuff over the years and have liked it, but never got round to buying any of their albums .

Den_M

A few words on this band...
'DU...DU HAST...DU HAST MEICH!'

I love em! A guilty pleasure if you like. Also, that riff in 'Sonne' just crushes.

PonyP

Ich will, Mutter are great songs!
Ramstein rock!!

orestes

Idiots, Rammstein are fooking awesome, Mutter is an amazing album

What are you scuttering on about? I've seen nothing but praise in this thread so far.

orestes

I meant the people who complained to the op about playing Rammstein, that's who I was calling idiots, sorry for not being clearer

Den_M

Ah right, I get you.

Lemming

Great band! I don't know much of their stuff but what I've heard thus far I've enjoyed.

And just to show how awesome they can be: Feuer Frei - LEGO style.

Parsley

I have much, much love for rammstein!

Nea

Truly Amazing.
I have much love and respect for the band and would love to see them play here. Some chance of that!!!

They are amazing live, you could try showing your crowd some of the Volkerball DVD. If that doesnt change their mind I give up.

blastman

I can't believe a bunch of so-called metal fans don't like Rammstein. I'm a fan of older metal myself and I came across Rammstein by accident and I think they're brilliant, some crushingly heavy riffs.

Mutter and Reise, Reise are brilliant albums and Volkerball is an amazing live DVD. I will definitely travel to see them in Europe when they tour next, I reckon.

I found the same, most Germans don't like them. The reason most gave was that the lyrics were awful. The fact that I can understand a fair bit of their stuff probably means they could have a point.

Blackthorn1011

I really dont understand how people who listen to Metallica & Maiden etc could turn around and give out about Ramnstein being played. They've such a great crushing sound.

I love them, and i'm not even a big fan of metal anymore but would listen to them anyday.

Wasnt a fan of their version of Barbie Girl though....:p

In my experience they seem to paly HUGE vanues all across Europe.


What I love about them is that they don't seem to write filler.

BostonB

The majority of people who are going to reply to this are going to like them aren't they. I'm surprised a heavy rock crowd didn't like them though.

Undergod

I'm a very big fan, I wouldn't listen to them all the time but it's always a joy to come back to any of their albums.

Their lyrics are actually very clever a lot of the time, I'd say. Very witty commentary and wonderful word play.

pleasant Co.

I think they're one of the most consistant bands in recent history... no major dip in the quality of their music...
I do like them, and reading through this thread makes me want to listen to them, so I will

FearDark

Wow i cant believe the reaction you got, Rammstien are pure class, keep on playin it, dont mind the die hard tools, theyre probarbly still wearing skin-tight jeans and ripped iron maiden t-shirts and live in 1989... (in their parents house):pac:

KrazeeEyezKilla

They are one of those bands that you don't even have to be a metal fan to like. That crowd were idiots.

Xavi6

I'm not a metal fan bu any means but I love Rammstein. Their live album is one of the best I've ever heard. Brilliant stuff.

Endaaaagh

Rammstein literally means battering ram made out of stone
"we're all living in Amerikaaaaaaa......Amerikaaaa ist wunderbar"

Ph3n0m

Where is this pub/venue located - name and shame the fools

SirLemonhead

I find them boring, but whatever..

Mossy Monk

I love them too but German friends of mine hate them because if the lyrics.

I have several german friends and they all say the same , in that they consider them racist, even the ones big into metal wont touch them
for that reason and then there is the BIG truth in that the lyrics are
pure sh**e. One friend told me that many of the lyrics are lifed from
stories and poems etc I dont speek german at all so i can continue to
enjoy them in blissfull ignorance

Undergod

Racist? I've read the lyrics to pretty much all of their songs, and know most of them from the last few albums, and there is nothing racist about them. They specifically wrote a song in response to being called Nazis, or the various right wing accusations.

garth-marenghi

seems like a pretty lazy accusation to make against the band saying they are racist/nazis etc just because they are german and type of music they make, a lot of their songs are bascially love songs,if dark ones at that! if anyone has any proof (lyrics, statements etc) that back up these claims of racism etc do post them, am definitely a fan of the band, would love to see them live

Agreed.

senordingdong

Well I think U2s lyrics are crap.

That doesn't make it so.
Whatsmore, they sold out the Wuhlheide stadium in Berlin four nights in a row.
That's impressive by any stretch of the imagination.

god's toy

Wow I've always loved Rammstein but felt I was in the minority, happy to see I'm not!

Have all there work and Sonne is still my fave song... top class vid to boot!
(the unedited one is better )

Rock on.
