"Rammstein Paris": Next live DVD?

[yermawsucks]

My vinyl set arrived yesterday and absolutely gutted. The box is damaged as the Rammsteinshop did not appropriately package the item. It must have dropped in transit and a corner was damaged. I have contacted the shop but I doubt they will replace as they are sold out! And everywhere else is selling out too! Why the fuck did they not bubble wrap it? They are shipping it to Australia: its travelling almost half way around the world - bubble wrap should be a fucking given!

and I was really looking forward to listening to the album on my drive to work tomorrow

The final part of the Making Of

[MonsieurSander]

Just watched it again. I think it's one of their best releases to date, it really shows the...show? Anyway, I dig the slow-mo's, the close ups, even some of the added effects. The things i don't like are the sparks for flake and the added voice for till during Mein Teil, Till's great enough by himself. I didn't expect Amerika to be so good, the lightshow looks beautiful!

I went to see this in cinema a couple months back and it was okay, so I bought the blu-ray now.

This second time i didn't like it so much. Some of the effects are still cool (mostly the slow motion images and some of the added sound effects), but some of the effects bothered me a lot more this time, like Till's snake tongue, the band members black eyes and keyboard lightnings. They serve absolutely no purpose at all. The biggest problem of course is the fast editing, which was a little annoying in the cinema version, but with this 2 hour show I just started to count how many songs there still are remaining, hoping the show to end already. It's really frustrating to watch that kind of editing for this long.

I wonder how much Rammsein: Paris will sell and what kind of reviews it will get. To be honest, I hope it will not sell much and get mediocre reviews at best. Then we have a change to a normal DVD next time.

Giving the control of the DVD to someone else and touring with the same setlist and show as previous year makes me wonder how much motivation the band has these days. After two disappointments in a row with this DVD and the upcoming tours setlist, I no longer have very high expectations of the new album.

"I'm not 100% behind the film"

adding, "maybe because it's the first time I'm not in control." ;-)

^I didn't count the effect in WIDBIFS as being CGI, just as a weird camera effect (which ironically, I kinda thought it was neat). The butterfly in Links I didn't even noticed, but it doesn't sound as stupid as a snake tongue during Feuer Frei.

As for wether or not the pace was a mistake of the band, I think we'll need to wait for RP to be released and check if the editor for RP was the same on as RiA. If it is the same one (and I suspect it is, because there is reseamblance of editing between the two) than the band hired a lousy editor. But if the editor isn't the same person, than I am going to get convinced that the band is giving bad notes and demands, and have no fucking idea what they are doing.

Richard actually said in an interview that "Rammstein: Paris" was the first time the band completely let go of their control, and let someone else take the wheel. On a few occasions, the band would ask Jonas to do some changes, but overall they let Åkerlund be in charge. Richard even concluded by saying "I'm not 100% behind the film" and also saying "I this film is polarising".

This new DVD might be the first Rammstein DVD I wouldn't buy, though the CD interests me. I would like to have the chance to buy just the CD.

The butterfly in Links I didn't even noticed, but it doesn't sound as stupid as a snake tongue during Feuer Frei.

As for wether or not the pace was a mistake of the band, I think we'll need to wait for RP to be released and check if the editor for RP was the same on as RiA. If it is the same one (and I suspect it is, because there is reseamblance of editing between the two) than the band hired a lousy editor. But if the editor isn't the same person, than I am going to get convinced that the band is giving bad notes and demands, and have no fucking idea what they are doing.

It happens at 3:03 in Links.

Well, I liked RiA, but indeed sometimes the switching between NY and Montreal was too obvious. Especially during Keine Lust where Till's hair constantly changes from slicked back to hanging in front of his face. Many people complain about those things in Völkerball as well, but it was handled way better though. Despite that, RiA still has my blessing.

even though there are no CGI

Oh, yes there is (not that I have a problem with it actually), if you have a close look (Till's head fading/widening/slow motioning in WIDBIFS or the butterfly flying from Till's mouth in Links). But than again, when is there ever given time to have a close look? Maybe indeed during Mutter, which I overall enjoyed, I must say. But it also means we'll probably only have 3-4 songs that are IMO somewhat reasonable in terms of pace - with which I'm alas not even saying it never bothered me in Mutter. This not a mistake on the band's account, which gives me all the hope for the future. I hope for them the big audience likes this.
