Movie Reviews of Rammstein: Live Aus Berlin
Movie Review: Great DVD for fans of Rammstein
Summary: 5 Stars
Considering everything you get - 17 tracks of live music (3 with 5 additional camera angles to choose from), 14:30 of interviews, 5.1 Dolby Digital sound (the Amazon info doesn't say it's there, but it is), and an additional hidden track for the controversial "Stripped" video (as previously mentioned here, hit 23, then Enter on your remote at the main menu) - fans of Rammstein can't afford not to have this DVD.The "Buch Dich" track has been edited out of the DVD version, but this is not a censored DVD; it's just the only one available, at least in Region 1 NTSC format. The only way to see "Buch Dich" is by picking up the VHS tape. If you're trying to decide between the two formats, I'd say the DVD is tops, hands down. I have both, and since I've gotten the DVD I haven't picked up the VHS even once. The video and audio are superior to that of the VHS, and the VHS doesn't have any of the additional features you can find on the DVD.
Speaking of video and audio, they're both pretty good, but not great. There's some minor artifacting in the video due to the onstage smoke effects combined with the fact that this is just a single layer disc. The 5.1 Dolby Digital sound seems to be a bit lacking in bass (though the band never has been all that heavy on it) and the rear channels mostly only play crowd noise. But again, this DVD is definately the best way to enjoy a Rammstein concert, aside from actually being there.
Movie Review: RAMMSTEIN....RAMMSTEIN....RAMMSTEIN....That's All You Need
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 19, am in college and love to listen to 'good' music. Easily said I know, but how do you define good music? What draws the line between worth while, and a waste of time? That's easy. If you listen to a band more than once, it's good. If you listen to them more than ten times, twenty, thirty, etc...it is just that much better.With Rammstein, you get just that. It's funny, how can a band be so popular in the United States, when more than half of the people that like it don't understand what their saying. It's funny that this is so, but that's the world for you. Rammstein is not one of my favorite bands, but every time I listen to them, I get a feeling of adrenaline. I do understand some German, and I get what they are trying to say, but that's not why I listen to them. I listen to them becasue I like them. Just that simple.
This DVD makes me want to see them in Concert Live! I bought this from Amazon.com for a friend as a Christmas gift. He let me watch it with him, and now I wish I had bought it for myself. I might just do that.
It's hard to say anything else on this, but i suggest that you buy this, or buy this for someone who enjoys Rammstein. If you buy this as a gift, you will be one of their favorite friends or relatives for a while to come.
Movie Review: The best home music video on the market
Summary: 5 Stars
This 17 song set captures all the intensity of a Rammstein live show. From the opener, 'Spielt Mit Mir' to the closing 'Seemann', Live Aus Berlin is packed with footage from Rammstein's stop in Berlin in August of 1999. This DVD catches all of the violence, the emotion, and the fire of Rammstein. Unfortunately, the DVD version cuts Buck Dich out, but the extras and improved picture and sound quality make the DVD the overall better purchase. Rammstein uses a lot of stage theatrics, from costumes, to flamethrowers, fireworks, and slick lighting, to make the show more exciting for the audience. Till Lindemann even sets himself on fire (wearing a special suit, of course) during the song, 'Rammstein.' I don't know what's cooler than that? Their musicianship is tight and top-notch as ever, just as good live as in the studio. The extras include an interview with the whole band, as well as multi-angle views of 'Tier', 'Du Hast', and 'Rammstein'. If you're a Rammstein fan, this is an essential to own, a real Rammstein fan would be hard-pressed not to have this in his or her collection. It's a much better buy, in my opinion, than the 'Live Aus Berlin' CD, the visuals are half of Rammstein's show. Available on VHS and DVD.Movie Review: Live Aus Berlin -- the best live show I've ever seen
Summary: 5 Stars
Live Aus Berlin (LAB for short) is by far the best live show I have ever seen. Rammstein fans will not be disappointed. If you have seen the beginning of the film XXX, then you have witnessed a sampling of a Rammstein performance. Rammstein performs with pyrotechnics like a Kiss concert times ten, costuming on par with Gwar, and lights and set right out of musical theater. Yet, for all this, Rammstein is distinctly German. The songs are taken from Sehnsucht and Herzeleid, but the highlight of the show is a stunning performance of the single, Wilder Wein. During this beuatiful ballad, all three guitarist step onstage dressed in oversized sombreros as each strums the haunting melody as a kind of mariachi band. It is unlike anything I have ever seen, both humorous and eerie. The only downside is that the vesion I own had the song Buch Dich (Bend Over) cut from the show. However, an extensive interview with scenes from Ramstein's videos and other live performances made up for this minor setback. All in all, I highly reccommend this DVD for any fan of Industrial/Heavy Metal music. Rammstein shows their appreciation for their fans by putting on one helluva show.Movie Review: Rammstein Rules Through An Amazing Night
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
