Rammstein: Volkerball

[Hardrock69]

After waiting around for 4 fucking months hoping to find it in a store in Gnashville, I just fucking ordered it as an Australian import, and got it today.

Got the version with the DVD that has the entire show from Nimes, France in July of 2005, 4 songs from Brixton Academy in London February of 2005, 3 songs from Tokyo, Japan in 2005, and a promo video shot at their gig in Moscow in late 2004.

They are fucking amazing. MAJOR production with HUGE fucking light show (something on the order of a Van Halen show from 1984....or MORE), and of course LOTSA fucking FIRE!!!!

They have never let me down. I knew this DVD would kick my ass, and it did. The package also comes with an edited audio CD of the Nimes, France show, 75 minutes in length.

If you dig heavy music at all, anything they have released is worth owning.

I have ranted about them before.

And when I buy their future releases, I will rant about them again.

Money well spent.
Worth every fucking penny, and then some.

:cool:

The ULTRA deluxe edition has another DVD that has a documentary detailing the recording of their last album also.

RRRRAMMSTEIN !!! didnt know you dig them so much. they are very popular in europe. they have a cult status or are very near to become cult

[Hardrock69]

Well, let me put it this way: Selling out stadiums is hardly what I would call a "cult following".

That is what it is in the US though....I have personally turned a lot of friends on to Rammstein here in the States who had never heard of them, and they became instant, rabid fans...

They do not tour much over here, and when they do, they do not play large venues.

The only time I saw them was at a former movie theater turned concert venue called Bogart's in Cincinnati that holds about 800 people. It was on the Mutter tour, and they still were allowed to use a lot of pyro.

They were maginificent.

I love Rammstein.

For some reason, I catch a lot of flak for it, too, over here in the city. Apparently here Rammstein fans are stereotypes as goth kids who shop at Hot Topic.

I need to get more into them...The video and song for Amerika is quite clever.

[Hardrock69]

They have written some amazingly heavy, yet heartfelt ballads.....

There are some songs, and some albums I like more than others, but overall their entire output kicks fucking ass!

They have such a high degree of quality it makes many, many other bands at the arena/major label level look like amateurs by comparison....
