Rammstein Tour '10 - Ireland !

P_1

Wow! One of those bands that I've always wanted to see.

Venue wise I can see them using either the Point or if its finished on time, the new concert hall they're building near Grand Canal Dock, think that should be completed by January and seats around 5000 or so.

anonymous_joe

Woohoo!

dan254

can't wait, the 3 best gigs i've ever been to were all Rammstein gigs, still gonna go see them in Britain but can't wait for the Irish show, they're better indoors as well, the ambassador has a similar feel to brixton so would be good if capacity is big enough

Mushy

I also pledge my support to the attendance of this gig!

Maybe I'll see them twice!

Yup me too, although the rammstein website made a hames of my order so im still waiting to see back if im getting my tickets....Still though an irish announcement is the best news ive heard since...well a while haha. Go RAMMSTEIN!!

nyarlothothep

Does anyone else find that the singer sounds a bit like McBain?

Nightwish

Or that McBain sounds like Till!

I can say that with me in attendance at this gig, Richard Kruspe is not safe

This is brilliant news. Was gonna go abroad to see them on the 09 tour but with the recession and all that, couldnt really afford it, so delighted to hear they'll be coming here!

Brixton Academy capacity ~5,000
Ambassador capacity ~1,200

Also the Ambassador is not a venue any more, being converted to a library in the future.

This sure is excellent news, assuming the gig goes ahead.

Think that was an urban myth, could be wrong though.

Oral Slang

Cool, really delighted to hear they might be coming here.

Manowar & them are pretty much the only bands I can think of that I like but haven't seen live yet (scratched Sacred Reich off the list this weekend )

Seraphicblue

sooo....R/M forum trip anyone?

None it's all mainland Europe in 2009. The UK dates will be around the same time as any Irish date.

I think the "Rammstein don't play Ireland due to not being able to do their pyro" rumour was balls. They can play a stripped back show (Brixton ones as an example) just MCD/Aiken never saw them as being profitable so didn't bring them over (and still may not, they are in talks nothing more).

Bands of their size are contacted by the promoters not the other way round so if no one in Ireland asked them to play they wouldn't. DME certainly couldn't handle them

Ghetto Cornetto

Don't you just love it when news of a gig comes and slaps you in the face?

senordingdong

Folks, lets be realistic, I think the O2 is the best we could hope for...unfortunately, that means alot of fans will have to sit.

Still though, stellar news.

IRISH DAYWALKER

hopefully they will come to thomond park oh yeah!!!!!

José Alaninho

RAAAAAMMMMSTEEEIIINNN!!!! :cool:

This has made my f*cking day, can't wait! Does anyone know if they still play Buck Dich live? Epic performance, as anyone who's seen it will testify to.

So where's the Boards.ie bus leaving from?

They probably still do, minus the weenis.

I'd love to see their show with pyrotechnics, maybe another time

What makes you think they wont do it with pyro in ireland?

barry181091

Yeah, Rammstein never bring half-assed sets with them, If they cant do the pyro they simply wont come i'd say.

Regarding Büch Dich, I would say not. As they haven't even sung any Rosenrot (Except Benzin) tracks live yet, not to mention the new album which will be priority #1.

Here's some recent pictures of rammstein that have been leaked (Mods- Please don't delete :P ):

November 2008 (Most recent picture of band together) :


Till looks aufully scruffy and tired I think

Leaked picture from new album (Could be a video capture from a music video, but the general opinion is not) :

blastman

Any release date for the album yet?

barry181091

Sometime in the Autumn. . .most likely in early November, just before the tour.

Did someone change the tags on this ? I don't remember I put down 'boards goes to rammstein' lol

So good interest in the Bordsies bus then

MetzgerMeister

IrishHalo, the reason Rammstein never played here before is due to the fact that they didn't have a big enough fan base or album sales to warrant bringing all their pyro over.

The Brixton gig was actually postponed until they were allowed use all their pyro stuff. With Rammstein, it's all or nothing as they think the pyro is an integral part of the live experience. They are right!

I've been into Rammstein and they've been my number 1 band since I was 11. Contemplated going to see them in Germany as I never thought they'd come here but I'm delighted!

By the way, anyone here interested in starting a Rammstein cover band?? I'm looking for 2 guitarists, a bass player, keyboard player and a drummer.

Traviata

Do you'll also sing the songs in german?

I'll see Rammstein@ Nov. in vienna, im very excited too see them live, 've never seen them before *-*

BoB_BoT

I was under the impression there was issues with pyrotechnics in Ireland. Actually it was from a discussion on a bus, but the guy telling me it could have been full of it.

MetzgerMeister

@ Traviata - yeah, I do! that's why i don't need a singer

@ Bob - Trust me lad, I've been following their every move for 12 years and I can honestly say that if you hear something like that from the "du hast fans" it's just something that they heard somehwere. I've heard that myself a few times and I know it's bull. Sure apparently Rammstein were on the Late Late show years ago too! haha

BasuGasu

I'm hopin for the point! I was at the wrestling there a few months ago and the lower seats pull back so the floor would be huge! Awesome as s.h.one.t!

IMO, since this is going to be Rammstein's first time ever playing in Ireland, the point will be too small. It would be brilliant if the weather was cold, not rainy or windy and the gig was on in the RDS where Metallica often played. That would be unreal!!

senordingdong

They will never pull a crowd for the RDS, not even the indoor one.
I reckon they couldn't fill the O2 point but it's still probably the best bet.

As for this pyro bollocks. Has it not dawned on these fools that countless bands have played here before and used pyro?

MetzgerMeister

Yes, other bands have used pyro, but not next to near to the extent of Rammstein's pyro! Till is a qualified pyrotechnician for god's sake!

I think I may have over-shot it with the RDS thing. Then again there's only about 5 people that I have seen who joined the official Rammstein community! Nevertheless, I hope they have a band like Eisbrecher supporting them! Or Krieger. Eisbrecher would be unreal!

Nea

I dunno where the pyro rumour came from but its going back awhile.
I think the O2 is definately the best bet as the RDS is a cowshed and weather would be miserable(as usual) for outdoor RDS. By the interest in this thread I am sure it would sell well.

German band Justice (not the dancey kind) were rumoured on a forum as support.

MetzgerMeister

Yeah since it's jan-mar the weather will probably be horrible. Sure it's the middle of the "summer" now and the weather is STILL miserable!

The only thing we can be sure of is that they will put on an unreal show as usual and it will be deadly!

Sebzy

Oh yea so there.

Thanks OP
