Spectacle of music and fire as German rockers hit stage - Nottingham
IT starts with a torch. A single beacon held aloft to signify the entrance of six men who spend the next two hours dominating your senses and redefining the word awesome.
A huge gangway descends over the crowd, enabling the boys from Berlin, bearing their own logo and the flag of St George, to stride confidently to the stage.
There's breathless anticipation as lead singer Till Lindemann counts us down into the head-banging ferocity of opening track Sonne.
From then on it's an almost unbelievable spectacle of music and fire that has made Rammstein the greatest exponents of industrial metal for nearly twenty years.
It's impossible to gauge how much work goes into designing and preparing the pyrotechnical wizardry of this show, but the pay-off is simply superb.
You name it, they've got it – from fireworks and flares to showers of sparks and face-mounted flamethrowers. It's by no means gimmickry or a sideshow to the songs. It's artistic and majestical, creating an atmosphere of burning passion and intensity that wholly enhances the music.
With six albums of classic tunes to plunder, it's a break-neck ride through most of their greatest hits and a showcase for individual and combined musical talent.
Lindemann is an effortlessly powerful vocalist, capable of both subtle phrasing and strong emotion, while behaving like a human sparkler.
Guitarists Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers are the riff-meisters, perfectly complimented by Ollie Riedel on bass, drummer "Doom" Schneider and keyboard maestro "Flake" Lorenz.
For the thousands of delighted fans who certainly didn't mind fudging their way through foreign lyrics, this was a truly incredible and immensely entertaining night.
Rammstein play Nottingham Arena
It was a fight between fire and ice as Industrial Metal giants Rammstein rocked Nottingham's Ice Arena to its foundations last night.
The band emerged from an overhead metal walkway spurting smoke and flames and following a flame torch procession through the crowd to get to the stage, you knew this was going to be no ordinary night.
Following the dramatic entrance the spectacles grew even more extravagant through the two hour set. It transcended the dramatic to the bizarre and the downright ridiculous and never failed to entertain.
Pyro like you've never seen before shot forth throughout the show blasting intense heat that could be felt more than 30 feet from the stage, which left many faces on the front rows short of an eyebrow or two.
An early highlight of the show was during Mein Teil when frontman Till Lindeman, dressed as a psychopathic blood-spattered butcher, used a massive flamethrower to shoot and blow up keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz who was bizarrely in a giant metal cauldron.
Flake survived the spectacular explosion and later surfed over the heads of the crowd in a black rubber dinghy making his way from one end of the arena to the other across a sea of hands while guitarists Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers kept it all together back on the main stage.
It's unlikely on paper but all songs being delivered in German and with little to no in-song chat, added to the feel of the night. It was quite a moment when the 10,000 strong arena sang Du Hast word for word and even the band slip out an involuntary smirk as they hear what seems like half of Nottingham roaring back in fluent German.
Part of the show was conducted in the middle of the arena on a smaller raised stage which the band crawled to, whilst chained, whipped and led like dogs.
At one point an eager fan climbed on to the gantry which joins the two stages but was rapidly chased off by security and dived off the top of it into the crowd below gaining a huge roar of approval from his fellow audience members. Shortly after this unexpected incident they played Buck Dich to a spectacle that really needs to be YouTubed to be fully appreciated.
In spite of all of the flamboyance and special effects, Rammstein have the musical back catalogue to support their standing and their thumping, powerful sounds deliver in spades.
The two hour set was perfectly formed and included highlights Mein Hertz Brent, Engel, Amerika, Ich Will and Pussy. The latter made its appearance to end the show and saw Lindeman riding a massive, phallus shaped cannon which ejaculated foam all over the first twenty rows or so of the crowd.
It's unusually hard to sum up a Rammstein show. Even if their brand of music doesn't appeal this band really have to be seen to be believed. Their massive stage production makes Lady Gaga look restrained and they are simply unrivalled in terms of pure entertainment value.
Five stars.
Review: Rammstein, Metro Radio Arena Newcastle
WHEN a band rolls into town with a seemingly endless convoy of trucks snaking back as far as the eye can see you just know that you’re in for something really special.
German industrial rockers Rammstein have built an unrivalled reputation for their stunning stage show over the years, so the packed arena was buzzing with anticipation as to what delights the Teutonic Goths would unleash.
With a post-apocalyptic stage that wouldn’t look out of place in a Terminator movie, complete with ramps, risers and space age trimmings covering every inch of the stage combined with flamethrowers, fireworks and explosions you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d just walked into a war zone rather than a rock show. The words “extravagant”, “breath-taking” and “jaw-dropping” just don’t do justice to the scale and majesty of the spectacle.
This may all be inconsequential if the music wasn’t up to scratch but with the Gothic splendour of the flamefest opener Sonne and the heavyweight riffs and hypnotic driving beat of Links 2,3,4 they have the songs to back up the visuals.
Singing in their native tongue may have seemed like commercial suicide on paper but in reality it merely strengthens the impact of the music. Hearing 12,000 Geordies sing along with Du Hast and Ich Will is an experience.
Virtually every song features one stunning effect after another, usually involving fire, lots of it. With a song titled Feuer Frei you just know things are going to get hot. Possibly the most startling point in the show is where frontman Till Lindeman flambés geeky keyboardist Flake in an oversized cooking pot during Mein Teil.
Having a huge production didn’t stop the band connecting with the audience and when keyboardist Flake took a break from his treadmill to surf over the top of the crowd in an inflatable dinghy he ensured every last person in the arena felt part of the show and when a smaller stage emerged from the centre of the hall, the whole band were right in the thick of it.
With a snowstorm of confetti and foam fired from a huge “cannon” adding to the party along with Lindemann’s colossal fire spewing mechanical wings during the sinister Engel the crowd were kept mesmerised and entertained to the very end.
Rammstein really have to be seen to be believed. They have raised the bar so high that it’s difficult to envisage anyone being able to match it in terms of intensity, spectacle and sheer entertainment value and those who witnessed the event in Newcastle will remember the marvel of a Rammstein show long after the cavalcade of trucks have headed off into the night and on to the next unsuspecting city.
