Rating: Summary: AMAZON NEEDS TO CHECK ITS OWN REVIEWS!!! Review: As other reviewers have stated, the Amazon review has INCORRECT translations of German. "You hate" is NOT spelled "Du Hast" but rather "Du hasst" (or haßt). "Heirate Mich" means "marry me", not "worship me". Anyone in a beginner's German course could translate the lyrics and understand the context, or barring that, use some minor effort to look up English translations of the songs on the internet. Not only that, but the Amazon review focuses on rather old news of controversy rather than the merits of the music and performances. The current Amazon review is not only dated, but seems to attempt to associate Rammstein's leanings with that of the Columbine killers. Anyone familiar with R.'s music and interviews would know that they are quite "Left". The Amazon review doesn't tell potential buyers enough about the Rammstein DVD, but it does rather illuminate the ignorance of that particular author. Amazon needs to replace that review with something more apropos. Considering the number of folks who have called Amazon on these errors, why hasn't the review been updated? Shame on you, Amazon.com!
Oh BTW, I did very much enjoy the DVD. However, I would recommend the Lichtspielhaus DVD as far superior. I'd never even heard of Rammstein until a friend told me about them and loaned me the DVDs. Sure, they're not everyone's cup of tea, but don't let phrases like "industrial metal" (or whatever lame label people use) scare you off. I generally do NOT like "metal", but these guys are something else! It's very richly textured music, very distinctive, thematic (and sometimes near-Operatic) and I also think the lyrics are worth the effort to understand. (HINT HINT AMAZON.COM!)
Rating: Summary: Rammstein Rules Through An Amazing Night Review: This is a fantastic concert with one caveat. The DVD release omits the song "Bueck Dich" in its entirety because of some pseudo sexual antics the band engaged in onstage. What was the logic here? It already existed on the VHS version of the tape, but the U.S. release of the DVD it was censored/edited out. Why? The DVD already bears the "Parental Advisory" label, so what the heck? It's a little disconcerting to me that that no mention of or warning is given of number(s) taken out, so you may (I did) feel a little shortchanged of the full concert.
Having said that, what we do get on the DVD is nothing short of spectacular with Deutschland's über band putting on a show that rivals easily the very best super stadium productions here in America. Rammstein does it with more flair and theatricality than anyone - and their pyrotechnics are the best in the business. What lead singer other than Till Lindemann can make an entrance completely engulfed in flames? The show is spectacular and the audience goes nuts, singing along through this great, great night.
As good a concert video as you will ever see and hear. Rammstein Rules!
Rating: Summary: Rammstein, Teutonic music GODS Review: I remember when my copy of LaB DVD first came in...I had chills, I couldn't WAIT to get it in my DVD player and on my screen. My anticipation was amply rewarded. From first song to last, each one was far more intricate and beautiful than their 2-D album versions. You could tell the band was giving 1000% of themselves in every note they played, especially rhythm guitarist Paul Landers, who was so sick with flu during the recording of this DVD that he had to be iced down between songs to bring down his raging fever.
I was especially blown away by the live version of Wilder Wein. The original, demo version I'd previously heard was tinny, and was all synth and lead singer Till Lindemann. Nevertheless beautiful, but made breathtaking when the three guitarists (the previously mentioned Landers, lead guitarist Richard Kruspe, and bassist Oliver Reidel) joined in on accoustic guitars. Gorgeous. Even with sombreros...
This DVD is a MUST HAVE for any Rammstein fan. To not own it, is like a Christian without a Bible, pointless.
And the extras are unbelieveable! I especially liked the alternate camera angles option. To watch my favorite member, up close, through a whole song, without cutting to the others? GLEE.
In closing, I'd like to make a quick commentary on Amazon's review. I am deeply disappointed. I would think a site as well-established as yours would do your reasearch before so grossly mistranslating their song titles. For shame.
BUY THIS DVD...
I COMPEL YOU! @_@
Rating: Summary: WOW! Review: Ok here I go. This is one of the greatest concerts that I have ever seen. And believe me I have seen some good ones this is one of the best. Till is out there doing his thing and by god it is amazing. If you have never heard Rammastein before they are techno metal. So put the techno metal thing toghter with at least 20,0000 fans or more and pyro and you have the concert. Just amazing
Rating: Summary: Totally Worth It! Review: I was trying hard to decided between dvd or video but since the dvd didnt have Buck Dich, and I really wanted that one I choose video. The performance totally was worth losing all the extra interviews because its really awesome. This video is great, and I dont really like concert footage that much but trust me you'll love it. The sound is good and the band is totally hot with thier make up and costumes. If you like Rammstein, this is one to own!
