Blessed by Fire

Till Lindemann and his summoned on Saturday to more than 30,000 people in Avellaneda. No screens, very dark, flames, pyrotechnics and a crushing sound. So the trick of setting fire to a fan on stage!

Racing around were rows and rows of faithful worshipers of black. Corsets, T-shirts and fishnet stockings, vinyl pants, borcegos, hair dyed and many, many, Rammstein T-shirts.

The Avellaneda cylinder with a long bleeding rocker in tow (Redonditos in 1998) and massive crib sheet calls religious devotion and loud sounds brought together on Saturday with the return of Rammstein, devoted to the fire, explosive pyrotechnics. And the controversy.

Before the Germans, as an appetizer looming Bloodparade local credit. The electro-rock group played six songs in half an hour (all from their latest album State of Trance) where the singer Brenda Cuesta evening shook the academic power and sound more than acceptable for a support band.

Download a giant curtain and begins waiting for the arrival of Rammstein, an hour and twenty minutes where several of which were settled into the stalls or those who populate the field already felt that we had to sharpen the eye. It would be a show without screens (at the request of the band) to not be distracted from the visual display of the sextet Germany. A haze hovers between the sweaty mass when the pressurized water cooling.

Turn off the lights and light up the screens of their phones. Sounds like the intro and the black curtain falls reveals a giant German flag, a prelude to the onset of detonation and Rammler, first track of their brand new Für Alle Da ist Liebe. Eyes are riveted on him, the burly singer Till Lindemann who wears black overalls and an apron (beef type) red leather combined "? with red feathers around the neck. And the first trick of the group comes from the mouth of a singer with such a tiny light bulb, stuck to his palate, which enlightens every intonation.

The mass cry Ramm-stein! intimidated by the threatening clouds that were in the storm elsewhere. The stage-grave (a big black box), hidden flames, explosions and lights that seem frantic track military targets. In Bückstabü Till now shows his characteristic pose stooping forward and sticking with his fist right thigh. Keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz moves awkwardly from his suit while the two guitar players mirroring (Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe) are fixed, flanking Lindemann, while watching the mass robotically.

The minute of the third theme (Waidmanns Hail) an assistant enters the stage, speaks to the ear Till and he stops singing and goes from the stage. Thus began one of the tense moments of the show. Maladjustment "sound (it was several issues until settled)? Problems with the fireworks? Any wounded?. No. The fence on the right side moved by the pressure of the people, forcing it to stop the show about 15 minutes until the problem was solved.

This added to the cry of "The Light, The Light!" -To turn off some sectors of the stadium were lit, and the goals that got him to Banfield Racing that night (and were celebrated in the stadium before the show) was an unusual mix for this type of event. The darkness that was claimed was an accomplice to many who were in one of the popular low, go out there and run into some sectors while the audience cheered him with applause (¿?).

Returning to the show, the stage turns red to get the album Mutter with Feuer Frei and masks, flamethrowers on the scene. The guitar players point to each other to Till's voice while expanding your tongue fluttering to the public. Lindemann kneels before the firing battery and an impressive marks the end of the topic. A vulgar display of power (visual and audible) to be repeated with Mein Teil when Lindemann-clad like a mad and bloody butcher-light a giant pot with a flamethrower while the keyboard down with a suit that flashes and fireworks from the stage falls and follows him, forcing him to walk the stage from end to end. Rammstein is a band that calculates mm detonations and explosions, leaving nothing to chance. "We train for this show after show with special effects engineers, tell us Lindemann hours later.

Another of the highlights of the show was when Benzin (in the middle of tongues of flame coming from the stage) Till is a supplier of gasoline to a fire breather and a false-fan gets on the stage waving their arms and cheering. Lindemann so burned by "error" while an assistant follows him and tries to blow with some blankets. If not before you saw on You Tube remains in doubt. Accident? "Morbid?

Du Hast (the most chanted in the evening) two pyrotechnic comets are ejected from the stage and burst against the side towers of sound. Bounces back to collapse on top of the main structure. More broadly than the night effects, comparable with confetti (confetti) coming out of a hose placed in the crotch of musicians (see list of issues and effects of each) to the controversial and censored subject Pussy. Till says in Spanish, "Hands up" and people obey mass. Then would the first break (scheduled) in the evening after thirteen songs stick and stick.

For the encore looms Sonne (with blasts from the pit of photographers inclusive), Haifisch (Shark) in which no utiizaron the raft on which bassist Olivier navigate among the public. And in the mesmerizing Ich Will (the best of the night) where they throw the house out the window with the firing of 16 guns and a large explosion at the height of the battery. The sound did not lower its level throughout the show.

The second part of the encore comes with surprise when the first riff sounds your dir Ich Veh's latest album and several comets light up the stage altogether. A flash. The theme is interrupted ("was planned, just do the first part," he said later the Yes guitarist Paul Landers) and the catchy hooks touch I want you whore (Rosenrot disk) with Till singing in Castilian dragging R with that mark the so personally. The band says goodbye, and while they did a set with eight songs from his latest album and only one (Du Hast) the successful Sensucht not heard many complaints about the lack of such classics as Muter, Engel, Sensucht, Mich. Bestrafe Rise Rise or Amerika.

The audio-visual demolition which succumbed Racing for two hours left exhausted breath to the complaint. And the musicians were impressed by the national allegiance. "I expected no more than 15,000 people. They are very crazy. In a year and a half back," revealed the singer to Yes. Hopefully.
