Documentary Rammstein in Amerika – running time on DVD: 2h //

TV Cut-down: 1h30

This documentary by Hannes Rossacher tells the story of Rammstein in Amerika by focusing on the chronological development of events in the band’s history in North and South America. The film contains a great deal of unreleased footage from the band’s personal archives.

The first two-thirds of the film portray the band and their rise in the US and Latin
America up to 2001; their simultaneously regretful and disenchanted “Farewell to Amerika” following the events of 9/11; and their explosive return to a sold-out Madison Square Garden.

The film accompanies the band on their various visits to the Americas throughout the past 20 years.

The film can be broken down into the following chapters:

1990 – 1993 EAST GERMANY: Where does Rammstein come from? The bands in which they played in East Germany. Life and making music in the East.

1993 FIRST US TRIPS: After the Fall of the Wall – impressions from the band’s first outside encounters.

1994 RAMMSTEIN: Formation of the band. Development of the show concept.

1996 BIZZARE FESTIVAL / USA / BOB BIGGS: First contacts with record labels in the US. Finding an agent. First club shows.

1996 SUPPORT TOUR WITH KMFDM

1996 DAVID LYNCH/LOST HIGHWAY: Cult and credibility.

1997 DU HAST / RADIO / MTV: Commercial success.

1998 FAMILY VALUES TOUR: Language and life on tour.

1999 HEADLINER TOURS: Life on tour. Getting arrested. Concept of morals and art in the USA.

1999 MEXICO / KISS / SAO PAULO: From feverish excitement about Rammstein in Mexico to the worst show ever in Sao Paolo.

2002 INTERNET / MUSIC-VIDEOS / TRIPLE X – The media landscape is changing.

2008 “LIEBE IST FÜR ALLE DA” – Album Recordings in the USA.

Alongside the documentary footage, the film features a vast number of US and
Canadian artists and interview partners, such as Iggy Pop, Chad Smith (Red
Hot Chili Peppers), Moby, Melissa auf der Maur, Marilyn Manson, Kiefer
Sutherland, Steven Tyler, Jonathan Davis (Korn), CJ Ramone, Scott Ian (Anthrax), Slipknot, System of a Down, KISS, and Taylor Momsen.

Ah, right, well I took it off, but this video stay may be interesting to watch which shows what parts they took.

^You cannot link to ANY bootleg clips!

By the way, the site SeidBreit has made a comparison of the 2 concerts (Montreal and MSG).

^Yes, my question was regarding one tiny moment where Till's lip movement didn't exactly match the sound, though I'm not sure whether that's the editing or Till's bad lip-synching with the voice-over ...
I wouldn't know about the other mistakes; I don't care to much about it actually, only if it's all good in the end. At Werchter 2013 Richard's mike didn't appear during Du Riechst So Gut, so he made us yell his part each time. A few moments later, an angry Till throws his water at one of the crew members and pushes one away out frustration (nothing hard or dangerous, just to make a point). It was quite funny . I just hope they've picked one of the better gigs, not one that "failed" in too many respects. In the end I think all Rammstein concerts are good enough to watch, but some are just less good, and I hope it's not just the name and fame of Madison Square Garden that made them decide to choose that particular gig. At the Wuhlheide or Arènes de Nîmes for the previous live DVDs, there was a special vibe, something 'hanging in the air' according to several band members, and I hope the same goes for this show.

Uhu, yes I remember the sickness as well. I believe it was in the period of the swine flu terrorizing western Europe, and all of them got sick to a certain extend, though Till and Flake (who was replaced one night I think) were the most affected ones. I'm glad I was too late to book that Luxembourg gig, because the alternative date turned out absolutely impossible for me .

[Chrisss Nofff]

I think Till blew his voice in the first Lifad show(s) to an extend where he could continue the tour (as cancelling dates is always kind of out of the question for every fan-respecting band, except if there's a REALLY good reason like an accident or sickness), but couldn't put too much strain on his voice. That would explain why he didn't even do the chorus of Liebe ist für alle da: it's sung a pitch higher than his normal clean voice, which made it too much of a strain to pull off in that moment. A pity, because during the MIG-tour he would've been able to. The reason why he blew his voice could be that he misjudged the vocals on LIFAD, maybe not realizing to the full how much vocal range and screaming he put in the record. Or overdoing during the warm ups and/or he maybe didn't train a lot during the hiatus.

I agree with 100% of what you said, except you also need to consider that Till was sick early in the tour, and they postponed a concert in Luxembourg because one night he felt really bad. But that was as far as I know the only concert the band ever had to postpone due to Till having vocal issues.

[Chrisss Nofff]

^ I don't understand your question, are you refering to the editing? With small mistakes I meant stuff like the microphone not working on "B*****" properly at parts, messing up the lyrics in "Du riechst so gut", not hitting every note correctely on "Sonne". Little stuff I noticed throughout the years of watching/listening to bootlegs of the show.

I think if they already decided to re-record stuff on Rammlied, they will probably fix those other parts too. That's what I meant.

All in all, I think this has some similarities with the production of the "Mein Herz Brennt" video. The original version of the concertmovie that was supposed to be released christmas 2011, which was directed by Matthew Amos and featured audio mixed by Stefan Glaumann, has been discarded. They probably were not pleased and sent it back and forth until they were satisfyed. That could explain the delayes.

PS: As of now I am only nitpicking. Don't think I am actually dropping some serious criticsm here. Actually I think this is will be a very good and well produced release by Rammstein. I'm just blabbering about some tiny details I notice. If it get's annoying feel free to ask me to stop.

@Chrisss: why would you think they made a lot of mistakes? I think it looked ok on Rammlied, no (though yes, I did spot a moment where it didn't perfectly corresponded, but that is all).

[Chrisss Nofff]

Till's overuse of samples and backingtracks is another reason why I think the LIFAD tour wasn't the bands strongest tour. I don't have a problem with him using some samples, because they are playing industrial metal. A genre which cannot be played 100% "live" without using some samples and added effects (which is partially Flake's job).
Flake putting on a sample which Till sings along to is in a sense their way of performing, and I don't think there is anything wrong about it.

That being said, they usually only used backingtracks for small parts, usually when vocals overlapped (Das alte Leid), to make a stronger chorus (Heirate Mich, the "Hei, hei" shouts), or when a song had an overnatural scream which cannot really be reproduced live (Herzeleid, Stein um Stein).

But with LIFAD they went a little to far with almost entire choruses and segments being full playback. I can imagine this being irritating for Till, so at some point, I think he didn't really sing along to it anymore, and didn't really perform authentic to it.

It looks like they are re-recording most of the vocals since Till in addition to this, also did a lot of small mistakes. But here I am pre-judging again.

[Xendar]

I agree with Snake that it is clever, this way to conceal they are using the album's playback.
But frankly this new playback (or an audio mix) sounds bad.
