Movie Reviews of Rammstein: Live Aus Berlin
Movie Review: AMAZINGLY EYE POPPING or OPENING
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great DVD that is very entertaining and without a dull moment. I don't like to watch concert footage because they are boring and the music usually doesn't sound as good but this is Rammstein and they know how to put on a show. They are playing to a soldout stadium in Berlin. The audience is consevative looking and the age group is mixed which is interesting to see because Rammstein is an industrial metal band. If this was in America the audience would be smaller and they would all be young and wouldn't understand what they were saying. The band members are in costume and have silver stuff in their hair which you don't see too much from rock bands who usually go on in a t-shirt and a pair of jeans. The pyrothectics rage from sparks coming out of boots, drum sticks, a bow and arrow also microphone stands and the singer are on fire and the singer shooting a flamethrower over the audience. It also has some humor to it like when the very skinny keyboardist tries to dance and the singer thrusting his hips and when he wheels himself around during the song Heirate Mich. Sometimes the keyboards are little bit louder than the guitars but I didn't mind it because it gave it a different sound. The song Wilder Wein is much better here than the studio version because it isn't as long and the accoustic guitars and violin give it a nice touch. There is also an interview at the end with subtitles for those who don't know german.
Now for the things that weren't that good. They show the same clips of the audience members over and over, some of the parts are slowed for a second and when the singer slams a microphone stand on stage they show it from different angles. The reason I didn't like all that was because it took away from the live feeling but it's easily ignorable. I find myself watching this DVD all the time and it never seems to get old and watching this DVD will either make you a fan or a bigger fan of Rammstein like me.
Movie Review: Rammstein = Good, Amazon.com Editorial Review = BAD
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a huge fan of Rammstein (And Megaherz, they deserve mentioning, if you like Rammstein check them out) since the album Sehnsucht came out. Ever since i first heard their music i was blown away by the sheer power of it. I bought the VHS of Live Aus Berlin when it came out and their visual performance is appropriate for the music which contains such a roller-coaster ride of mixed emotions. The DVD is even better than the VHS of course because everyone knows the quality is higher but the added bonus features are very nice too.I dont however see why they had to censor Buck Dich, it was a comical gag and was not meant to be taken seriously. I mean they preformed it that way live in Europe and never had and problems as far as people complaining about it being "dirty and homosexual" but when they preform it in USA they get arrested for it, and the song gets edited from the DVD but its still on the vhs? . How pointless is that, i mean if you dont want to see it you can just push a button and then - WOW - you are on the next song.
But aside from that it is still a worth while purchase if you like Rammstein even the slightest. However, the "Official amazon review" that is at the beginning of this page is, in a word - pathetic. I mean of the 2 song titles the guy tried to translate he got neither of them right. "Du Hast" means "You Have" NOT "You Hate", and "Heirate Mich" means "Marry Me" How could anyone mistake that for "Worship Me"? (obviously no research was done for this article). So since the reviewer didnt know exactly what they are saying he just assumed for the worst, and made their lyrics sound even more fitting to his relating of Rammstein to the little angry kids at Columbine and Nazis. Get better reviewers Amazon.com, geesh.
Movie Review: THESE ARE MY PEOPLE
Summary: 5 Stars
YOU MUST SEE THIS PRODUCTION!!! Let me explain. I'm nearly 51 years old, and have seen more stadium and arena concerts since 1970, than I can count. My listening experiences have ranged from the San Francisco sound, to progressive/art rock, to fusion jazz, to bluegrass/finger-style guitar, with a little classical and symphony thrown in. Let's not forget Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I actually play classical guitar. When I first heard Rammstein on the radio (Du Hast), I thought it was Megadeth singing in German. When I saw the opening segment in the movie "XXX," I couldn't believe it. I decided I needed more "footage." I ordered Live Aus Berlin on DVD, and can't quit watching it. From the "space-men" intro, to the final note, it just totally blows me away. My effort to categorize it fails, but images of Kiss, Devo, Ozzy, Kraftwerk, and Sparks all materialize, though nothing nails it. It is way over-the-top. What impresses me nearly as much as the performance is the audience. My image of a Rammstein concert in the US would be attended by gothic, punk, or broom-headed mohawk types, which in total may fill a small theater. When the "Live" camera view panned the stadium, revealing the huge Berlin audience, there were high-schoolers, working stiffs, war vets, real people, even over-50s like me. This would be a Bruce Springsteen audience in the States. What this tells me is that music like this is "mainstream" in Germany. If this is indeed the case, about Germany and the music they embrace, then surely these are my people! I'm really tempted to book a flight right now to see a live show... It's that good.Movie Review: Rammstein, Teutonic music GODS
Summary: 5 Stars
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! @_@
Movie Review: as perfect as the Rammstein experience can be . . . at home
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD explodes with great audio. The DD5.1 track completely immurses you with music. When you're sitting in the middle of this powerful sound cranked up, you almost feel like you're in there with the crowd. Audio = A++There are some minor problems with the Video, but nothing that you're even going to notice if you're really listening to the music. I just can't get over how crystal clear the audio is. Anyways, there's a few problems with shimmer and artifacting, but who really cares? This is mostly about the sound. In fact, who cares when you get Rammstein in a nice widescreen format and dolby digital 5.1. Hell you can even turn on the German subtitles! Video = A-
Bonus: Alright. Bonus material. You get a 15 minute interview with the band and you can watch it with subtitles in english, french or spanish. There's even a hidden video ("Stripped" from the Depeche Mode tribute album) that you get as a bonus when you solve all of the triva on the DVD-ROM portion... oh yea.. the DVD-ROM portion that everyone seems to be forgetting about.
This is also NOT a single layer disc as mentioned in another review. In order to attain the 9GB of data that's on this disc, it's a specially made dual-layer single-sided DVD. Similar technology was used on stephen king's "the Stand" to fit on one DVD (18GB dual-layered, double-sided)
If you enjoy Rammstein and have a DVD player... BUY THIS! IT'S INEXPENSIVE AND COMPLETELY ROCKS.
