They were socialists punks & goths from east germany who would regularly get in fights with reactionaries in their youth??? I genuinely did not see this coming. Maybe it would have been obvious if I spoke german but I don’t and I am shocked. Genuinely expected chud behavior

    Tons of their songs and imagery and music videos and concert stuff also are like…gay sadomasochism stuff.

    I actually saw rammstein in concert (part of the family values tour) and while haven’t seen many live shows, it was easily the most unforgettable show I’ve ever seen anybody put on.

    I still remember:

    • Lead singer comes out for the opener with a laser eye and a metal jacket they then set on fire.

    • Missile launcher shot over the crowd

    • Laser show

    • Simulated gay sex with giant flashing robot strap-on

    • Same strap-on then sprayed water over the crowd (a blessedly cool relief in the pit honestly)

    I’ll never forget 'em
