Rammstein were a great band…. were, in the past. The last two albums were crap and with Till involved in SA situations, it was inevitable. Also, they stopped playing for real fans and decided to just do arenas shows…. a sell out band nowadays!

New music I've been listening to: Voyager's latest single 'Seen Better Days' has been on repeat for the past couple of weeks.. a beautifully touching song about Danny the vocalist/keytar player's current battle with cancer. It's gratitude, it's fear, it's pain, it's anger, it's light, it's dark, and it's absolutely worth a listen and a review! 🤘🏻

What is the name of the riff that Metallica was playing in the first part of the video?

14.08… I love that RK still has Destroyer in the background. My formative band (KISS) inspired him and so contributed to my favorite band. They both have nary a bad song (KISS a few, Rammstein none).

Rammstein died like 10 years ago.

What did I listen to this week? A "BUNCH OF METAL" you never heard of because you talk about a bunch of mainstream stuff! BTW do your Rammstein homework more, they have another album coming & the documentary!

Feelin bad for Klaus. Personally, I’ve been dealing with a respiratory infection myself. It’s been almost a month and a half and still not back to a normal. The worst of it took about two weeks, and I still go into coughing fits. I’m nowhere near his age and don’t have to sing or anything, but I really hope he recovers soon, cause it can be rough

AJFA and St Anger remastered not Remixed. 2 completely different things. AJFA has already been remastered before.

I was lucky enough to see Rammstein during the LIFAD tour I don't think they are going anywhere any time soon Till has been doing tons of side projects in the meantime hopefully we get news of new music in the next year or two and hopefully a tour so my wife can experience them live 🤘 been my favorite Band forever now I would definitely be sad to see them stop

I just love the fact, that seemingly I'm not the only one still adoring The Sins of Thy Beloved 🙂

Rammstein has died 7 years ago….. Till is tired off himself, the band is on the automatic pilot! ‼️

Rammstein came back too strong in the last ten years for me to be ready for this,

I mean the guys of Rammstein are getting pretty damn old.
@jeanvonestling7408

Rammstein had 10 years between albums once and they are ok with doing side project. All it means that they do not want to mass produce stuff.

I thought that the Blackened Records reissues WERE Remastered already?

I think Iron Maiden should record a Christmas album. They can call it “Christmas With Eddie”
@thor7564

Musically and creativly, Rammstein should have quit after the third album.

Just saw Devin Townsend last night in Atlanta. Amazing show!

The Metal God's and Human Siren collabing!! How could it not be a masterpiece!

While I wish Klaus Meine a speedy recovery, I remember the voice problems he had during the Blackout recording sessions. Scorpions haven't toured the UK in over 30 years. All we've had are a few festival dates.

I really hope Rammstein finally retire or kick Till out. Otherwise, my sympathy is completely gone for them

yeah, they’ll remaster AJFA. And they’ll still screw over Jason Newstead. They’ll re-record all the bass tracks, because Jason uses a pick,and they’ll hate that, even though those fools are using picks, too. I’ve lost all respect for them after the way they’ve continued to Treat Jason. He’s a great guy. I met him in 86, when he got the job, and Flotz picked up my friend Michael Spencer. He is the biggest fan of metal, and at the time, Metallica. And those guys used that joy and excitement against him. I’ll always be pissed at that.
I expect nothing but continued disrespect for Jason

Rob and Bruce did an excellent collaboration on the first Halford album. We can hope this timing is more than a coincidence 🤘🏻

Got to say in my 44 years of seeing bands, kiss in there pomp, Alice cooper, the list goes on, rammstein are the best band I’ve ever seen. I’m not a big fan but my god they blew me away

AJFA already got its 2018 remastered deluxe box. Remastering is done up to the black album.

As you said turnstile is NOT metal, so why cover them when you could have gave us 10 new release's. If they confuse you think of them as band trying to cash in on all sounds just to….well "cash in". Not into x-mass but Strypers cover of Winter Wonderland" is good. Rob Halford picking more work at his age DAMN! for he is "THE METAL GOD"!!!! m/

I saw Scorpions at Wacken last year. Show was great! But Klaus obviously has a hard time getting around. Hopefully he get’s better soon.

Turnstile is like the Beasties Boys, that started a journey on one track, but was able to find a genre that finds them the best. Good on them.

Halford said years ago he was interested in doing a black metal project written by Isharn and Nergal. I keep waiting in hope.
