The main experience of Ramstein

Rammstein is the most famous industrial heavy metal band in the world, composed of a group of proletarians who are tired of factory life in eastern Germany. They inherited the consistent style of German electronic music-no emotion, cold and metallic feeling. They create by sampling guitars, singing completely in German, and often interspersed with cold and ethereal backup singers in the background, which is similar to the medieval feeling. Their music mixed industrial and electronic elements, and published albums such as Herzeleid, Rosenrot and Mutter.

Development history

-Rammstein Germany's famous industrial metal band in the 1990s inherited the consistent style of German electronic music-emotionless, cold and metallic. They create by sampling guitars, singing completely in German, and often interspersed with cold and ethereal backup singers in the background, which is similar to the medieval feeling. What is a chariot? The chariots came from Germany, the former East Germany, a dictatorship, which made us feel like comrades-in-arms. They can also better understand the mechanical and tragic heroism in their music.

Rammstein was founded in East Berlin, Germany on 1994. Its members include lead singer till lindemann (once a member of the former East German Olympic Swimming Team), guitarists richard kruse Pei and Paul Landers, bassist Oliver Riddle, drummer Christopher Schneider and keyboard player fraker Lorenz. Similar to the famous visual rock band KISS, Rammstein also used fireworks to set off the atmosphere of the performance, but Rammstein's slightly autocratic lyrics and industrial heavy metal music style showed that they opposed commercialization. Although the band strongly denies it, Rammstein's fans are mainly people with right-wing political views, because their songs always reflect their dissatisfaction with juvenile sexual harassment, man-made disasters and ecological problems.

The word Rammstein literally translated into a stone car used to attack the city in ancient times, but the band pointed out that the name Rammstein came from an air show crash in 1988, when 88 people were killed. Their debut album Herzeleid was recorded in Sweden. Despite the tight budget, this album has sold more than 500,000 copies in Germany alone, which also shows the band's huge commercial prospects. After the release of 1997 album Sehnsucht, Ramstein's image occupied the major newspapers in Europe overnight. American fans who followed Marilyn Manson and KMFDM began to fall in love with Ramstein after the famous director david lynch quoted two songs of Thain Sucht in the movie Losthighway. Like Marilyn Manson, Ramstein was also involved in the shooting incident at Columbia University, because in April 1999, two students who shot and killed other students claimed that their motivation came from Ramstein's concert. As a result, every album sold by the band was marked with bloody events in red. The new album Mutt is still full of tragic heroism. From the initial atmosphere to the songs full of rumbling steel and industrial flavor in the middle, and then to the tragic slow songs behind, it still shows a band style that can be described as "great".

In Ramstein's motherland, few people think that this much-criticized band can have much future. However, the development of the facts is often unexpected: the cold and distorted industrial metal noise, crazy and chaotic rhythm attacks and unparalleled arson addiction make them suddenly break into the United States and quickly conquer the ears of American listeners who pursue excitement.

Established and early (before 1994)

Rammstein was founded by guitarist RichardZ.Kruspe. 1989, he fled to West Berlin and formed the orchestra OrgasmDeathGimmicks. During this period, he was influenced by American music, especially Kiss. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, he returned to Schwelien, where Ti Lin Deman was a basket manufacturer and drummer of the FirstArsch Orchestra.

At that time, Richard lived with OliverRiedel of TheInchtabokatables and Christoph "door" Schneider of DieFirmad. Richard realized that the old music didn't suit him. He wants a kind of music that combines a machine with a guitar. So the three began to write together, but Richard found it very difficult to write music and lyrics at the same time, so he persuaded Lin Deman to join Ramstein. Richard first discovered it when he overheard him singing at work.

An amateur orchestral competition was held in Berlin from 65438 to 0994. The winner can record a demo of four songs in a professional recording studio. They won the game and caught Paul's attention. Landers, who wants to join the band after listening to the demo, said. Make the music more complete. Rammstein tried to invite Christian "Flake" Lorenz, a former member of FeelingB and PaulH. Landers, join us. Lorenz hesitated at first, but finally agreed to join the band.

On March 27th, rammstein went to London to perform the MTV program HangingOut, which was their first performance in Britain.

The soundtrack was released in the autumn of US 1996, and later in Europe1April 997.

The album's first single "Engel" was released on April 1997, and was certified as a gold record in Germany on May 23rd. Then the single was released on the fan board "EngelFanEdition", which included two unpublished songs "Feuerr? The second single of der and WilderWein albums is DuHast, which captured the fifth place in the German single list in August of 1997.

After that, the orchestra continued to tour, and the album Sehnsucht was officially released on August 22nd, 1997. This album topped the charts two weeks after its release. At this time, two singles (Engel and DuHast) from the first albums Herzeleid and Sehnsucht were in the top 20. From1September 1997 to1October 165438+, rammstein held full concerts all over Europe, and then released the song DasModell, which is a cover of the power plant orchestra. This single also includes another unreleased song "Kokain in In". On February 5th, Ramstein and KMFDM held the band's first tour in America.

1998 On August 22nd and 23rd, rammstein sang in Wuhlheide, Berlin, attracting more than 17000 fans, which was their biggest concert at that time. The warm-up bands and singers are Danzig, Ninahagen, Joachim Witt and Alaska. The concert will release the live DVD "Berlin Live".

Two weeks later, Live Berlin topped the German album charts. Berlin Live video version was released on September 13, and released on October 26th 165438+DVD version.

Introduction of works

From 65438 to 0995, RAMMSTEIN's first album HERZELEID (Heartache) was a great success, and its title song Heartache entered the German charts, and it remained until the band released its second LP two years later, which also received good response in Switzerland, Austria and other countries. With this album, Ramstein began to enter the European pop music scene. At the same time, censure followed: the band was sharply accused by the German media as neo-Nazi and fascist admirers, perhaps because of the band's live performance atmosphere. In Ramstein's own words, "We are terrible romantics." Their performances combine many dramatic and magical effects, especially those with flames as props. Therefore, some people accuse their clothes, their bare breasts during performances and the huge yellow background set off by the fire as harbingers of new racism. In addition, some people compare Lin Deman's singing with Hitler's speech. In fact, however, Ramstein's music is nothing more than singing the praises of lost love, longing for love and anger at betrayal, and there is no speech or political tendency involving historical issues.

1In August 1997, RAMMSTEIN's second album "SEHNSUCHT" ("Desire") was released, which quickly squeezed into the top of the German charts, and within a week, it climbed up the charts of European countries one after another. SEHNSUCHT not only broke through the sales of double platinum in Germany, but also achieved impressive results in many non-German-speaking countries. From 65438 to 0998, this album was first released in the United States by SLASH Company, which attracted great attention from American fans, which undoubtedly became another milestone on RAMMSTEIN's music road. Subsequently, the band held a small performance in America, which was their first performance in America. Although there are language barriers, it has not affected the enthusiasm of the audience at all. This is exactly what the old saying goes: Music knows no borders.

There are even more dazzling stage performances, and I can't help but vaguely recall the scenes when gorgeous rock was popular. Not long ago, Ramstein participated in the' Family Values' concert in Korn as the' second leading role'. The band performed very well this time, and the audience was infected by their enthusiastic performance atmosphere, which almost overshadowed the master KORN.

It seems that in any case, there is no doubt that unless they want to, Ramstein will never change himself for any reason. The flame game will continue, the lyrics will still be in German, and the video will still be on tape. Otherwise, they are not Ramstein. In the words of the band: "Ramstein is Ramstein, and we will never change our way."

Liebeistfüralleda album banned.

Ramstein's album Liebeistfüralleda released in 2009 (hereinafter referred to as LIFAD) suffered setbacks in Germany. Although you are the number one in Germany and even Europe, LIFAD has been completely banned from being put on public shelves in German record stores.

The German Ministry of Family Affairs said that LIFAD is harmful to children because of the unusual song titles, lyrics and pictures in the CD. The cancellation of the current version of LIFAD will be implemented on June165438+1October 1 1. Consumers need to show their certificates at the counter. 18 years old or older can buy the new version of LIFAD. At the same time, the single "Ichtudirweh" will not be released and performed in Germany, and the advertising of LIFAD can only be aimed at adults.

There are many specific reasons for being banned. First of all, the cover of the album is a photo of six members of the band eating naked women, and the inside page has an image of Richard slapping the buttocks of naked women, but this is not serious compared with some other bands. Their lyrics are not out of line like some of their peers. Although their albums swept the German charts, it's a pity that German politicians are not their fans. After protests by relevant youth welfare organizations in Germany, politicians ruthlessly banned this top album. Affected by this, Ramstein fell to the runner-up position in this week's ranking. Rammstein members can only complain that their album has hit the gun of the German government. Germany is trying to remove yellow and violent elements from music and movies. According to the data, the albums banned in Germany were 1 16 in 2007, 13 1 in 2008 and 96638+0 before the end of 2009.
