Die 'Stein Are Back

[Ray de Galles]

Lawd knows what's going on here, it's like every Rammstein single and video ever all rolled in to one :

[Snake Plissken]

Without seeing a translation of the lyrics, it's the story of Germany. Visigoths, Hindenburg, Weimar Republic, Nazis, Baader-Meinhof gang.

Song is pretty awesome too.

[Janik]

One could construct a three year degree course just out of deconstructing all the meanings and symbolism in that little lot.

Brilliant!

[Snake Plissken]

Could have sworn I had seen this one here. Oh well.

[Wouter D]

That works remarkably well. Is there a genre that Till Lindemann cannot sing?

[Snake Plissken]

Even Euro-dance seems to work. New video. (NSFW: Boobs)

Album is a solid 7/10 for me. And climbing.

[Snake Plissken]

2020 tour cities (not dates or venues) announced. Only UK (sort of) show is Belfast.

As if the place hasn't had enough explosions in its history.

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Speculation is that they'll play Download in 2020, hence why no UK show other than Belfast. Though the counter theory is that their immense production for stadium shows couldn't be accommodated at Download (although AC/DC once built their own stage next to the usual one so its not completely out of the question I suppose).

[Ray de Galles]

They're looking at other shows as alternatives to Download, though that could end being the gig.

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Belfast now confirmed as June 17, and with the preceding date being June 10 in Belgium, so if they are doing another UK show it's either Download on the weekend in between or an alternative venue the following weekend.

[Snake Plissken]

Tweet says "UK Shows to be announced". Shows plural sounds like it won't be Download, because I assume Download would want exclusivity.

[Ray de Galles]

It's definitely English stadium (or stadia) rather than festivals, exact ones TBA.

I'm biting the bullet and going to see them at Stade de Franchise next week with former OTFers Purves Grundy and Wyatt Earp. Had hoped to go to Berlin Olympiastadion instead but plans hit a hitch.

[Snake Plissken]

Will wave at you from Block L1.

[Snake Plissken]

Two tickets for Belfast got. In the Feuer section, whatever that is.

MK tomorrow! Eeeek! Stupidly excited and trying desperately not to click on any spoilers.

[Snake Plissken]

Review: Holy fuckballs.

[Ray de Galles]

Yes, pretty astounding. Certainly the best time I've seen them outdoors. It even made being in that abomination (and the same lounge and seating section as fucking Winkleman) worth it.

[KGR]

I have tickets to go to Belfast. I've never been to Northern Ireland before.

Glad you enjoyed it yesterday, Plissken and RdG.

[Bored Of Education]

Two tickets for Belfast got. In the Feuer section, whatever that is.

Bloody hell, from my slight grasp of German, that is the 'fire' section. Better pack a....no, I have no idea.

[Snake Plissken]

Sunblock. Factor 150.

[Furtho]

... could we not have had a ...thon?

Anyway, I was at MK station picking someone up just after 7pm and there was a guy outside touting tickets, which I've never seen before in MK. Also striking the number of people that responded to his, "Anyone need Rammstein tickets?" with "... who?"

And the answer is:
Ricoh Arena, Coventry - 20 June 2020.
