Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA, 26 April 2012
While many European Metal Bands will fly under the radar due to less popularity in other parts of the world such as America, they still manage to make a signature label for themselves for their unique sound, style and musical talent that can often separate them from the rest of the world and that one band is certainly at the top of the roster Rammstein. With a history of just a mere decade under their belts of one of the most bizarre Shock Rock Metal Bands out there next to say Alice Cooper and Kiss for the greatest stage show from the naked eye.
Seems like forever since Rammstein gripped America by the throat with one of the most amazing stage productions that truly leaves your jaw drop below your waist. While they have a great known following across the Mid – Atlantic with such performances during festivals in the summer with the likes of Wacken and Bang Your Head which are extremely popular, Rammstien’s first staple to America comes to no surprise and they truly nail a rock anthem with Du Hast a song that can be heard around the world for its superior music style and great German lyrics.
What really separates Rammstein from any Euro Band these days is that no material ever recorded ever is done in English. While I do enjoy some great Bands like this, it’s not quite hard to get use to a great band that doesn’t speak English much nor actually sings in English redefines European Metal with a bullet. While one song can echo over the air waves since the nineties’, Rammsteins live stage antics will wow you like never before as if back during the first Family Values Tour which took place here in Philly at the legendary Spectrum where at one time was noted as America’s Show Place, Rammstein certainly made a rock shock statement in the middle of the show as the stage went dark for a moment and then the lights went up and there stood the singer performing with a metal jacket in flames. Being so close then you could smell the lighter fluid and feel the intensity of the fames during that moment any music fan knew that this Band holds the bizarre record for stage antics.
As if that wasn’t enough to leave you gasping then, Rammstein have returned to thrill millions during their Made in Germany Tour celebrating more then a decade of pure German metal at it’s finest degree and not playing the entire region of North America, so for those of us like myself who had the rare opportunity to see the greatest show of Rammstein here in Philly at the Wells Fargo Center in front of Thousands. While there was no Support Band to fire up the fans, instead Rammstein had a different approach; fans were entertained by some DJ playing music for 30 minutes prior to Rammstein in the headliner spotlight.
Unlike many bands with a great stage production and brilliant light show that can wow your senses in an instant, Rammsteins stage show was nothing less then brilliant with tons of Pyro, shooting flames, smoke bombs, and tons of light spreading across the stage making it one of the most spectacular stage settings in the history of any metal band from the land of Germany. even if many fans like myself who, will never understand a popular band like Rammstein who for years have made their mark with every CD in German, Rammstein still can be clearly labeled amazing as a live band, like any show its all about the unique performance and this band has that down to the bare wire.
Rammstein doesn’t come to America often and when they its clear here if you miss getting to see them perform, you’re missing a great show as they performed some great songs such as Amerika, Du Hast, and Keine Lust among others. Another great show with Rammstein, as this one out beats their Family Values 1999 Spectrum performance,
