When some bands play music, Rammstein are burning

Sometimes is hard for me to choose one of my favourite bands because I have a lot of them on my list but I decided to talk about this one because I was listening to them a lot of years ago, I met some people with its music, is the only one I saw in a concert and maybe I don't listen to them a lot as I did years ago but I have an special "love" for this band. For this reasons, and because they're great, I'll talk about Rammstein.

Yeah, they look quiet on this photo... but they're not always on this way xD

Rammstein is a german Industrial Metal band (is a kind of metal which includes some elements of electronic music) of 6 musicians: Till Lindemann on voices, Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers on guitars, Oliver Riedel on bass, Christoph "Death" Schneider on drums and Christian "Flake" Lorenz (my favourite one) on keyboards. They debut was on 1996 with the Herzeleid album and, since them, they release 5 more studio albums (Sensucht, Mutter, Reise Reise, Rosenrot and Liebe is für alle da), 2 live albums (Live aus Berlin and Vörkerball) and, the newest one, a greatest hits (Made in Germany) with a new song called "Mein Land". Almost all their songs are in german because they consider their own language as a perfect one for metal (Oliver said "French is the language of love, German is the language of rage"), a couple of times they sung in english but that versions didn't have the same impact as the original ones, they sung in spanish too on the song "Te quiero puta!" and had a duet in german and russian on the song "Moskaw". The topics of their songs are politics, sex, sarcasm, SM (Sadism and Mazochism), religion and some basic instincts like fight or survival.

This band is famous too for their concerts because they use fireworks, fire launchers and other pyrotechnical elements, for example, on the song Mein Teil the vocalist "cook" the keyboard player on a big and flaming pan. For that all the integrants of the band had to study and train about the use of fire for avoid accidents on stage and for the public (specially the nearest ones to the main stage).

I like Rammstein because mix perfectly metal music and electrodark elements, they have amazing CD covers, I love the german language (It gives some stregth to their songs), they have a great performance on their videos and on stage, when I saw them live on 2010 was a great moment, the music was intense and the fireworks made the sky brighter, no matter the fact the concert started at 21:00 hrs, and the performances of the integrants were so funny (I always say Till and Flake are the masters of showbiz xD) and, can sound sentimental, but their songs went with me in some moments of my life when I was on the last years of school and when I started college (when I met one of my oldest friends in college we started to talk about Rammstein a lot). Besides (with bands like Slayer, Kreator, Sepultura and Brujería) Rammstein is a band that I listen to when I need to "free" all my rage because I'm an irritable person sometimes xD

The other thing I like is they lyrics because they talk in a particular way about certain topics. For example the song "Zwitter" ("Hermaphodite"), one of my favourites, talks about a person who explains the advantages of having the elements (physical and mental ones) of both sexes (in one part of the song he talks about giving a bounch of roses to himself).




The thing I hate about Rammstein is the primitive and basic idea of some people about "German thing=Nazi" ¬¬ I have to argue with classmates a lot of times because of that.



And before I finish, there a video of their concert on Chile.


Have a good day and let's rock!
