Flaming Nightmare - We Like

The BDO blog posted a small piece about Rammstein. Knowing how transient these things tend to be I am reproducing it here for future generations to enjoy (I'm not going anywhere):

FLAMES! FIREWORKS! RAMMSTEIN!

Posted on: September 30 2010

Do you like Germans? Explosions? Then you’re gonna love Rammstein. Formed in the mid-nineties in Berlin, the industrial metal band (is there a stronger sounding musical genre out there? I doubt it) have sold over fifteen million records. Folks who see Rammstein performing in the flesh are not only delighted by the group’s fetching onstage outfits, but also their tendency to SET THEMSELVES ON FIRE for a lark. The whole thing sounds like an OH&S* nightmare but fear not - frontman Till Lindemann is actually a licensed pyrotechnician.



I also rather like the way one YouTube user has summed up the band in just seven words.

“Flame gun is cool, Rammstein are awesome”

Indeed!

I know one German chap here in NZ who hates Rammstein, but loves their live show. That says it all, really.
