Crazy Gigs

NME has a post up on its blog about crazy gigs from a range of people, and Luke Lewis (Editor, NME.COM) named a 2005 Rammstein show has the craziest he's been to:
Rammstein, Berlin Velodrome, 2005. Most people have heard about the sex toys, flamethrower-guitars and rubber dinghies that make up a Rammstein live show, but you really have to see them in Germany – where health and safety laws are suicidally lax – to get the full eyebrow-singeing effect. I’ve never seen so much fire in my life. At one point singer Till Lindemann shot a fireball from a crossbow: it flew over the heads of 20,000 Germans, hit the back wall, and came flying back at him. To this day I have no idea how he did it.

Of course, we know (wires, baby), but let's leave him wondering.

Cowboys & Indians

You have surely heard the of the stereotype that portrays Germans as humourless. I have. It's utter bollocks, as any Rammstein fan can attest to. They do have a certain grim brutality though:

I got the video from here, and I have to agree that Rammstein couldn't be any scarier than that. Cruel, cruel Bundeswehr!
