Rammstein is my fave band, actually.

Being that I live in Germany, I am hoping to be able to see see them in concert.

-Name of artist/Band/musician, etc.: Rammstein
-Picture: Rammstein
-What genre you think they fall under: 'Tanz-metel' (German)
-Favorite song and add the lyrics: I have a few, but I shall provide lyrics to "Rosenrot"
-What you rate them: On a scale of 1-10? 11. ^.^;;
-Additional comments:

Everyone knows Rammstein, I'm sure. They are a German "tanz metel" band that have gotten quite well-known worldwide. A lot of people know the songs "Engel", "Du Hast", "Stripped", "We're all living in America", "Moskau" and, of course, songs from their newest album 'Rosenrot', like 'Benzin' and, of course, "Te Quiero Puta!".

The songs I would personally recommend by Rammstein are "Sehnsucht", "Klavier", "Links 234", "Mutter", "Moskau", "Ohne Dich", "Rosenrot", "Stirb nicht for mir", "Wo bist Du" and "Spieluhr".

Rammstein has been called fascist and promoting of national socialism, Nazi-ism, and White Supremacy, and generally advocating criminal actions and racism. However, when asked about this directly, as any Rammstein fan knows, they maintain that they have no official political standing and do not advocate hate crims, racism, nazi-ism and so on.. In fact, they have said that the song "Links 234" was an answer to the political question. They have said that if they MUST be listed in a political catergory their "Heart beats on the left". (There is a political party in Germany that is called 'Die Linkspartei' or 'The Left Party' -the official name is "Die Linke.pds", but I have no idea if Rammstein are actually refering to this party or not.)
When asked to explain their music, they simply say that they like making ripples, they like to be noticed, they like to shake things up a bit.


LYRICS (I've only translated the title):

"Rosenrot" ("Rose-red")
by Rammstein


"Sah ein Mädchen ein Röslein stehen
Blühte dort in lichten Höhen
Sprach sie ihren Liebsten an
ob er es ihr steigen kann

Sie will es und so ist es fein
So war es und so wird es immer sein
Sie will es und so ist es Brauch
Was sie will bekommt sie auch

Tiefe Brunnen muss man graben
wenn man klares Wasser will
Rosenrot oh Rosenrot
Tiefe Wasser sind nicht still

Der Jüngling steigt den Berg mit Qual
Die Aussicht ist ihm sehr egal
Hat das Röslein nur im Sinn
Bringt es seiner Liebsten hin

Sie will es und so ist es fein
So war es und so wird es immer sein
Sie will es und so ist es Brauch
Was sie will bekommt sie auch

Tiefe Brunnen muss man graben
wenn man klares Wasser will
Rosenrot oh Rosenrot
Tiefe Wasser sind nicht still

An seinen Stiefeln bricht ein Stein
Will nicht mehr am Felsen sein
Und ein Schrei tut jedem kund
Beide fallen in den Grund

Sie will es und so ist es fein
So war es und so wird es immer sein
Sie will es und so ist es Brauch
Was sie will bekommt sie auch

Tiefe Brunnen muss man graben
wenn man klares Wasser will
Rosenrot oh Rosenrot
Tiefe Wasser sind nicht still"


Note: The name "Rammstein" comes from an American naval base in Germany called "Ramstein" (during an airshow, there was quite a disaster when one of the planes crashed into the audience... you can read about it on Wikipedia.org), and also from the word "Ramm". Herzeleid.com probably has a lot of info on it as well, actually.

More lyrics, info and etc.. can be found on Herzeleid.com

The race for quality has no finish line...




I have to agree with you completely... and Rosenrot and Engel are my favorite songs by Rammstein





...so technically, it's more like a death march

i think rammstien is a great band with an amazing sound.
but my favorite song would half to be Du Haste. sadly most the world belives the lyrics are you hate

its actualy

You

you have asked me
you have asked me and I have said nothing

Do you want, until death seperates you,
to be faithful to her for all days

No

Do you want, until death, which would seperate,
to love her, even in bad days

No

Wir waren namenlos
Und ohne Lieder
Recht wortlos
Waren wir nie wieder
Etwas sanglos
Sind wir immer noch
Dafür nicht klanglos
Man hört uns doch
Nach einem Windstoß
Ging ein Sturm los
Einfach beispiellos
Es wurde Zeit
Los

Sie waren sprachlos
So sehr schockiert
Und sehr ratlos
Was war passiert
Etwas fassungslos
Und garantiert
Verständnislos
Das wird zensiert
Sie sagten grundlos
Schade um die Noten
So schamlos
Das gehört verboten
Es ist geistlos
Was sie da probieren
So geschmacklos
Wie sie musizieren
Ist es hoffnungslos
Sinnlos
Hilflos
Sie sind gottlos

Wir waren namenlos
Wir haben einen Namen
Waren wortlos
Die Worte kamen
Etwas sanglos
Sind wir immer noch
Dafür nicht klanglos
Das hört man doch
Wir sind nicht fehlerlos
Nur etwas haltlos
Ihr werdet lautlos
Uns nie los

Wir waren los



We were nameless
and without songs
We were never again
really wordless
Still we are
a little songless [2]
Yet we're not toneless
You can hear us
After a gust of wind
began a storm
Simply matchless
It was time
-less [3]

They were speechless
So totally shocked
And totally powerless
What happened
Somewhat composureless [4]
and surely
understandingless [4]
That will be censored
They said groundless
Too bad about the music
So shameless
That should be forbidden
It's witless
what they're trying there
So tasteless
how they're making music
Is it hopeless
Senseless
Helpless
They are godless [5]

We were nameless
We have a name
We were wordless
The words came
Still we are
a little songless
Yet we're not toneless
You do hear it
We aren't flawless
Just a bit anchorless
You will become soundless
You'll never get rid of us

We were "-less" [6]

[1] This song has several puns or double meanings that just don't work in English. As a suffix, "-los" is the same as "-less" in English. As an adjective, "los" is more like "off" or "loose". As a command, "Los!" means "go".

[2] Another pun. The German saying "sang- und klanglos" means "simply", "unnoticed", or "without any ado or fuss". It comes from the fact that there is no singing (Gesang) or bell ringing (Glockenklang) at simple funerals. The word "sanglos" is only used in this phrase in German. The lyrics mean that they are one part, yet not the other, and therefore are not going to simply be unnoticed.

[3] And another. Because it is written and said apart, it can be seen as "Es wurde Zeit. Los!" ("It was time, go!") as well as "Es wurde Zeitlos" (It became timeless").

[4] Not a real word, I know, but it fits.

[5] "Sie sind Gott. Los!" means "They are God. Go!" while "Sie sind gottlos" is "they are godless".

[6] And finally, "Wir waren los" can been seen as "We were -less" or "We were off".
