1. What, no KMFDM or Einstürzende Neubauten?

"Ramstein" has two "m"s btw.

[Skip Intro]

2. grumble grumble nt

[LeftyMom]

3. Beat me to it.

Being a bitch, I probably would have posted the correction auf Deutsch.

[flvegan]

4. I blame it on my Megalomania.

Oooh, sick KMFDM reference.

[LeftyMom]

5. Music dork threads are fun.

Same time tomorrow, I say we start threads to argue about the comparative merits of old punk bands. :D

[Skip Intro]

6. Evidently you just called me a dork.

Eloquent.

I bow to your superior wisdom.

[LeftyMom]

8. Actually I called flvegan a dork

in a way that was approving and suggested affinity. I doubt he minds.

[flvegan]

9. Celebrate relentlessness

Menace to society.

[MrSlayer]

7. Kreator or Sodom would be a better example.

Rammstein is industrial. Hell, some of their stuff is practically dance music. That's not Metal.

[HughBeaumont]

12. Even if we're talking industrial metal . . .

. . . Red Harvest and early Berzerker are better examples for this section.

[Forkboy]

16. Red Harvest has never made the jump from average to excellent.

I keep expecting each CD to be the one, but it never happens. A good band, don't get me wrong, they keep taking sideways steps instead of going forward, to me anyways.

[Forkboy]

15. Pleeeeesure to kill!!!!

Earworm number 1 of the day. Thanks. :D

[MrSlayer]

35. Saw them last month with Exodus.

Great show. My son and I met Mille afterward. He was hanging out signing autographs and taking pictures, cool dude but frigging tiny. He's about 5'5". Catch them if you can.

[Forkboy]

36. I almost killed myself seeing them with D.R.I. two straight nights.

Talk about neck-snapping fun!!!

Mille is tiny, ain't he? :)

[MrSlayer]

37. Ah, I remember that tour.

D.R.I "Four of a Kind" and Kreator was still supporting "Terrible Certainty" I believe. D.R.I. is another great band that hardly anyone outside the scene knows about. They had the measure of Reagan and early neo-con politics down. Damn shame they are inactive now. Spike has recovered from his cancer but apparently Kurt has started a new band.

[BreweryYardRat]

10. Rammstein at high volume = bliss.

Especially when you're driving alone and don't have to worry about complaints.

If the rearview mirror doesn't shake, IT'S NOT LOUD ENOUGH!!!

[Connonym]

11. ...

:headbang: Du Hast never gets old

[Rob H.]

13. If you like Rammstein, check out Eisbrecher

I don't have their first, self-titled release, but I've been loving their second and third CDs, Antikörper (picks: Leider, Kein Mitleid, Wie Tief?, and Eiskalt Ehrwischt) and Sünde (picks: Kann Denn Liebe Sünde Sein, Kom Susser Tod, Die Durch Die Hölle Gehen, and 1000 Flammen) ever since they came out.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. I prefer Autobahn, personally.

"A sort of--ugh--technopop...."

[Forkboy]

17. Singing along to Rammstein is a blast.

I have no idea what I'm saying (probably singing praises to Hitler...oh well, it's usually praises to Satan...same diff), but it's a blast anyways.

[Call Me Wesley]

18. Uh-huh,

singing 'praises to Hitler' would be the last thing regarding Rammstein. Not all German heavy metal bands are related to neo-nazis ... :hi:

[Forkboy]

19. I know I know.

Jeez, DU is a tough room sometimes.

[Call Me Wesley]

21. LOL! No offense.

Check out these guys! They're louder than Rammstein! ;)



:rofl:

[Forkboy]

26. LOL...alrighty then.

Nice cover. :rofl:

What's even funnier is that when I read your first reply my very first though was of Fawlty Towers and the German tourist episode. Whatever you do, don't mention the war. :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

33. You know, when I was young and naive ...

.. but this was the past, sooo ...



Okay, I mentioned the war only once or twice but I think they didn't notice! :) We're all friends now!

[Heidi]

24. Don't mind CMW! Once you get past the Aryan surface

(blonde hair, crystal blue eyes and sturdy Germanic build) you'll get down to his warm, fuzzy, romantic, Italianesque inner Mussolini. :rofl:

Hey, Forkboy -- he's a card carrying Socialist and former member of The Fourth International. :hug:

[Forkboy]

25. "It's been a terrible blow to my life looking like Mussolini, you know."

"Especially when I was a kid, you know, I was about seven, right, and I was down the Youth Club, you know, dancing away, right, like in the 'sixties, doing the Twist,you know. And, em, there was this girl, right, and she comes up to me, and she goes,"'Ere! Are you Mussolini?" I said, "Emmm...Yeah." She says, "I thought you was dead." I says, "No, it was just me day off, you know." So she pulled me over the dance floor and butted me in the face! I said, "What's that for?" She said, "That's for the invasion of Crete!"



Sorry, Young Ones flashback! :)

[Heidi]

30. NO APOLOGY!!!! I just fell in love with your

mind (a little more than I already was). :loveya:

:hug:

[Forkboy]

32. Pfffft...women! They only love me for my mind.

:rofl:

:hug:

[ZombieNixon]

20. In fact, the vast majority are not.

[Call Me Wesley]

22. And the ones who are,

1) sing like crap
2) play like crap
3) look like crap
3) are crap ...

:hi:

[ZombieNixon]

23. And usually get thrown in jail.

:P :hi:

[Forkboy]

27. The only neo-nazi bands I really know of aren't even German, they're Norwegian.

Go figure. :shrug:

[WildEyedLiberal]

28. There are a weird amount of Polish/Ukrainian/slavic neo-nazi bands, too

Which makes ZERO SENSE.

Hey, fellas? You DO realize Hitler considered you "untermenschen", right?

:crazy:

[Forkboy]

29. Well, we have Log Cabin Repubs, so there's no telling what gets in people's heads.

:)

[ZombieNixon]

31. And Eastern European, bizarrely.

Ukraine and Poland seem to be the epicenters of Fucking Stupid Metal these days. :shrug:

[Call Me Wesley]

34. Well,

German neo-nazi bands wouldn't be able to hold a concert, being shown on TV, record legally, so it's all in someone's basement with crappy sounds, privately burned CD's called 'Landser Beyerhund,' etc.

'Böhse Onkelz,' similar in style to Rammstein, stopped mid-track and kicked a guy out of a concert who raised his right arm. They spoke out against them many times. But I think, if it's at high volume with some cynical German texts, those beer-drunken idiots think it's all about them ...
