Rammstein - Du Hast
Tomorrow evening, I’ll be ticking off one of the bands on my list that I’ve always wanted to see live: Rammstein. They’re on at Wembley Arena, and thankfully a mate of mine managed to get a couple of tickets.
Rammstein are famous for their live shows, which are usually full of explosions and incredibly pyro-maniac in nature. I read somewhere that they do this because they expect the general (non-German) audience not to fully understand the lyrics. Thus the music and the visuals become more important to the experience of the live show.
I’m biased, because I speak German, but I love this band. The lyrics are actually really clever in their use of puns and wordplay, and the themes they cover aren’t the usual ones you find in music. Put this together with some absolutely pounding industrial metal, and it’s a match made in heavy metal heaven.
I’m really excited about tomorrow night, and can’t wait. After Rammstein, the only two bands that I desperately want to see live: Korn, and Faithless. Sometime soon, sometime soon…
