I suppose you know that I am a fan of the German Industrial "Metal" band Rammstein. I feel obligated somehow to post Ich Will. Unfortunately the videos of this tune for the Houston show are sub par but someone in San Antonio and Philadelphia did it right.
Top Philadelphia and bottom San Antonio.
This should be about the last of these for a while I guess. Good Rock is good opium. Shame we have to get back to reality.
A friend of mine said that one Michael Savage called Rammstein music to "invade Iran with." Or some such. Savage has some rather strange ideas at times.
There are finally some very good videos of Rammstein's Houston concert that was held Friday last. The show was Broadway, a fireworks display, and exceptional music all mixed together to produce a show to remember.
These guys grew up in the now defunct German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and I would imagine they know a thing or two of totalitarianism. Do you think for a minute that I would have been able to enjoy this exceptional show had not the "Iron Curtain" fallen? What about the persistence of the American government and people for supporting freedom over tyranny in Eastern Europe? You know the answer.
Rammstein is not for everyone and no mistake. Most lyrics are in German and it is Rock n Roll the way God intended it to be. Not every one's cup of tea. That being said, enjoy the opening of the show.
Rammstein is again coming to the New World. They have already taken the East and will be coming West to Houston in a few short months. Enjoy Rammstein's Moskau. Jawohl Herr Korvettan Kapitan it should be a great show.
Rammstein is coming to Houston. Quite a few months yet to wait but it will be worth it. Enjoy ReiseReise. Brothas and Sistas it should be a great show.
Tickets already in hand. It will be quite a few months before they make it to Houston but it will be worth the wait. Enjoy Rammstein's Wilder Wein. It should be a great show. Allah willing.
Some more excellent rock n roll from Northern Europe. This particular band is Rammstein from Germany. They have been around for quite a while and are second to none in my humble opinion. They do not often tour the U.S. and that is a pity. They seem to be misunderstood here in the U.S. and some ignorant swine feel compelled to compare them to something unspeakable. That is ridiculous. They are not Landser after all. Don't know who Landser is? Look it up. These guys (Rammstein members) grew up in pre unification Eastern Germany and know a thing or two about totalitarianism. I believe that is true for all members of the band. At any rate, some of the most innovative rock music seems to come from this general area of Europe. It is interesting that the lead singer, Till Lindeman, was in his younger days, an Olympic hopeful (swimmer) for the now defunct GDR. On an interesting note; Michael Savage said that this was music to invade Iran with. I could not agree more.
