Rammstein Megathread

MetzgerMeister

Jaysus that video gave me chills!

At the very start I thought it was going to be a song called "Spiel Mit Mein Teil"

Wrongway1985

People suggesting it's a documentary of Rammsteins presence in Amerika as they spell it . Can't imagine its a live DVD it shows MSG in that trailer and they last played there in 2010?

MetzgerMeister

They have been talking about the MSG show coming out on DVD since they were touring LIFAD. That was long before the MIG tour when they played here and that was in 2012!

It's a fair point. But since they skipped Dublin in the lifad tour, it will be good to see the lifad songs in concert.

Documentary and the MSG show, according to Rolling Stone

I'm sure they are delighted!

Remember Tills response last time they headlined.

Was it a sarcastic response or a positive one? Can't tell for sure here

He said something along the lines of it only being a festival and not a moon landing .

They'll be the new KISS at this rate.

MetzgerMeister

It's an awful price to be asking! There's only one song I want from that whole thing and it's Los Full Band Version.

devildriver

Slightly off-topic.

Just seen that Lindemann (Till and Peter Tatgren sideproject) has a new video.

Now I'm not a big fan of the album but have to give them credit for the seriously whacked out videos.

This, as you might imagine is NSFW:

Sorry, my bad!

FYI, the full band version of Los is on YouTube. It's quite different to the one we know and with new lyrics added in.

Also from Affenknecht regarding the next release:

Flake commented the following about Rammstein’s new tour and album:

– As of now, the band is rehearsing and writing new material.

– They are considering not releasing a new record, but simply write new songs which will be released in some other form. According to Flake, releasing a full albums «isn’t what it used to be».

– Rammstein will only play festivals in 2016.

– Most likely, Rammstein will play some new songs during the next tour.

– If Rammstein decides not to release a complete album, they might consider to keep touring with their new songs.

This is only an excerpt from the magazine’s facebook site. The full interview is available in the latest issue, available in Berlin.

Translation - there's not as much money in it as there used to be.

True. The cost of producing an album for a band like Rammstein is huge. In this day and age 90% of people who hear it will be downloading it for free/illegally so they will be relying on ticket sales and merchandise to fund it.

They say they will only play festivals in 2016 therefore there won't be much by way of ticket sales for their own gigs.

According to interviews with Liam Howlett, The Prodigy are going down the road of EPs for future releases and won't be releasing albums again.

Motley Crue said the same. So too did KISS, the later eventually changing their mind.

Production and distribution processes need to be overhauled too.

MetzgerMeister

That's true.

They've done incredibly well out of me over the years with regards to the merchandise from rammsteinshop.com :pac: I even have an order on the way to me as we speak I'd love to see some past items make a comeback though like the Volkerball zip up jacket, Army green totenkopf longsleeve and the Live Aus Berlin t-shirt. I'm on my 7th weisses kreuz hoodie since 2004!

In fairness, their shop is amazing. Wish I had seen this before my friend's birthday last month:

Yes there's loads of nice goodies there. But shipping is crazy expensive as with many German stores.
