Since there's some activity on this thread now I'll ask you all something.

I'm trying to get a Rammstein tribute band going. I might have a drummer and I'll be taking care of vocals.

I need 2 guitarists, keyboardist and bass player.

Anyone?!

I play bass :cool:

@ DrumSteve - I see Wiener Blut was written about you haha

Thanks for the replies lads. There is however, another slight problem - logistics. I live in Thurles. Where are ye all from?

And we're STILL waiting for "Mein Land" to be released! It's an epic track though!

Hahaha

I thought they might have done something with that when they released that Wiener Blut hoodie with Flake on the front of it. That's usually an indication but not this time

Was that just a pic from the Sonne video... can't really make it out?

DrumSteve · 17-10-2011 4:14pm

Just in case anyone is having any doubts about getting tickets for this... Get those tickets... You'll not regret it!

I hope they play this...seen it live already but it's a hell of a tune.

Nope, that one you're thinking of is richard with a huge guitar. That had the RAMMSTEIN logo in green across the top and the R+ in green on the back. Incidentally, it was my first ever Rammstein t-shirt

THIS is the one I'm talking about.

Ha that's an odd one alright, they could have probably done till up to look like him which would have been better. I got the GF one of those pussy t-shirts with the pink poodle at the Birmingham gig... she still wears it which give me a laugh.

Getting guys with instruments is one thing. But who has a flame thrower and other assorted Rammstein stage paraphernalia?

I'd say it'd be a great cover band to play in though. I hope you get it off the ground, einheisserschre!

When I posted a few days ago, there was 1500 left. Mostly in the tiers/balcony. Not many standing ones left at this point.

old gregg · 20-10-2011 10:53am

I may have posed this at some time past but can't remember .... I have a few German native/speaking friends and they all say that once you understand the lyrics of Rammstein the wheels start to come off the whole thing. I'm 2 weeks into a learning German course so in no position to comment but I've looked at translations to a few songs and they can be pretty ropey. I do love the music and booked my concert tix within mins of release so I'm not approaching this negatively.

So, to the German language speakers who do enjoy Rammstein, how do you resolve this or is there even anything to resolve? Does it even matter? Danke

To be honest, I know what the lyrics are about and it doesn't bother me (Check out Spiel Mit Mir for instance). It's all about the music and melody and also a lot of pyro.

Actually since when have lyrics mattered anyway? (I am the table springs to mind)

Without specific reference to Rammstein my personal belief is that it's all about the music, the quality of the lyrics is a distant second. I could name a dozen bands writing lyrics in Finnish, Polish, Russian, Ukranian, French, German, Japanese, Romanian, Moldovan or Gaulish which, with a few exceptions, I have no idea what is being sung about. The music still appeals to me more than plenty of bands singing in English.

old gregg · 20-10-2011 11:44am

well, the lyrics don't bother me either and yes I too listen to music that contains lyrics in different languages and all that good stuff, but in this instance the question relates specifically to Rammstein and how the lyrics are perceived by German speakers.

Lyrics only matter in the context of how you perceive them, not anyone else.

I'll give up on this. How I perceive the lyrics has nothing to do with the question.

Well you asking how an entire community of German speakers feel about it...? Nobody can speak for all of them though I would imagine they feel the same as the rest of us... Some probably like it, some probably dont, most probably dont care.

old gregg · 20-10-2011 12:20pm

the question was posed to German speakers who are Rammstein fans on this forum. No one else. Nothing to do with my perceptions. Nothing to do with other languages. Nothing to do with anything other than a pretty unimportant question that turned into a proposed learning experience for me in how unimportant my personal perceptions of lyrics are.
