Rammstein: Live aus Berlin

Rammstein kicks ass like always ! They are one of my two best hard/heavy bands (the other one is Metallica). And this live performance is really great. Now I'm starting to learn german language :o). I recommend this video... and not only for Rammstein fans. I give it 10 cause I'm a huge Rammstein fan ... for non Rammstein fans ... 8.

If you haven't seen this you haven't lived! Six men - one stage - thousands of fans - pure power! This is the best concert I have ever seen. Especially the performance of "Wilder Wein" - without e-guitars - is just great! Rammstein is not one of these bands which don't have anything else but a good manager. They know what they want, you can see it in their show. And their songs are so powerful - you will love them even if you don't understand the lyrics. (But, believe me: the lyrics are the best!)

Very few live videos can produce the sheer power of what Rammstein can do. With their trademark flamethrowers and high adrenaline stage antics, Rammstein remains one of those cult bands which most people will never get to see in person (like myself). Until the day I get to see them in person, this video will have to be my single concert experience of one of my favorite bands.

During their 2001 tour sweep through North America, Rammstein played a festival show near San Antonio, TX known as "The Fire and the Fury". Those two words alone summarize what most of the U.S. is missing out on! Simply put, there isn't a hard rock or heavy metal band on American soil that can even compare.

Rammstein's musicianship far surpasses most hard rock acts of the last few decades. The music carries pulsing bass rythms with the searing fury of guitar chords, laced with pounding drums and intense synthesizer sounds. All are mixed to perfection to form a unique and almost deadly fury of thrashing rock that is Rammstein.

Rammstein's German vocals and pyrotechnic show only serve to enhance the overall experience of the fury that is their sound. The shame is that most Americans are missing out on one of the best hard rocks shows ever to take the stage.

Rammstein garnered some success in early 1998 with the single "Du Hast". Yet Rammstein is so much more than a one single band. "Du Hast" isn't even Rammstein's best song, despite its popularity.

Never was there and never will there be a performance more powerful and more passionate than Rammstein Live aus Berlin. There is only one thing better that Rammstein music : Rammstein lyrics, therefore it is forbidden to watch this without knowing the lyrics. I sometimes call it "The Death experience", not because it has something to do with dying but 'cause when it's over you'll have the feeling that you have just seen an entire lifetime passing in front of your eyes. This will be a journey to passion, rises and falls, from heartache to funny dancing, from there to obsession, grief, jealousy, then again hilarious sex toys, wild wine tears, blood freezing and flesh burning stories about the living, the dead, the undead ... You'll never be the same again after you will have lived this experience.
