I hate LIFAD

[Art in Heaven]

True, but then I also like Arch Enemy and Steve Harley. Steve's another relic from my past. My musical tastes are quite eclectic to be honest.

^chuffed much?

Mike Oldfield, (some members may need to consult their history teacher),

I don't think there are many people who are fans of both R+ and Mike Oldfield XD

[Snake]

^Now there somebody who understands me in this forum ^^

[Art in Heaven]

To me watching Till kick through the wall at the opening of the Birmingham gig as they burst into Rammlied was how I felt when I first played it. It was an absolute kick in the face but in a good way. From the first slam of the guitars to the thundering finish I was hooked. However, I do understand that you can't like everything. For instance, I love some of the albums Mike Oldfield, (some members may need to consult their history teacher), has produced over the years, but there are several abums by him that I utterly loath because they just sound awful to me. One of his more recent albums, Light & Shade, was truly god awfull, having been made with the programme 'Fruity Loops' and in my opinion he sodded off down to the pub and let the programme make the album for him! You still owe me £14.95 for that pile of shit Oldfield you fucking twat!
I'm a member of a Mike Oldfield forum and I'm treated as something of a heretic because of my non fanboy views, but like Snake I'm entitled to my opinion.

I love LIFAD but not everyone is going to.

It may sound like that, but it sure helps you to accept new stuff. Like this new forum (brought up in the Deathstars topic), some users may don't like it after the old one, but if they use it every day, they'll get used to it.
But that was just a friendly advice.

[Snake]

^Ins't that a little bit like self-brainwashing?

[Drama]

Every album has it's highlights and lowlights. While Sehnsucht is my favourite album, I sometimes skip Klavier, 'cause of it's irritating vocals in the first refrain.
As for LIFAD, I neeeded some time to get used to it. I hated Wiener Blut and B*, now I love them.
So my advice to Snake: just listen, listen and listen. Only then you'll understand the beauty in the new albums too!

Some older fans seem to be stuck in the past - everything after Mutter is obviously shit in their opinion

I can safely say I am not one of those people. I don't see why people are always bashing Reise, Reise and Rosenrot :/

[+ Kein Engel +]

Yeah, of course that would be one of the bad things about it ;D

[Snake]

^But them External would have to find a new admin to keep a eye on this forum, and to update the Portuguese version of the site. Which makes it sound less positive.

[+ Kein Engel +]

Wow, that sounds positive! xD

[Snake]

^When I get a new favorite band, I will get over it.

[+ Kein Engel +]

Well, they probably would have become sick and tired of making the same kinda sound over and over again - and imo, then it actually shows that the band wanted to go in a bit more creative direction And that it doesn't mean shit to you, well, that's your loss - Rammstein do whatever the fuck they want, and you can't change that And if you really hate the "new" Rammstein so much, then I seriously don't get why you're still a fan of them - but I believe that you have your reasons to still be a fan after all Btw, it's a fact that a band can't please all of its fans all the time - so yeah, there will always be someone who's bitching a lot.. Therefore my recommendation would be: Get over it or get a new favourite band :'D

[Snake]

^I'd rather see them do the same good kind of music over and over again, than to "evolve" to something else that doesn't mean shit to me.

[+ Kein Engel +]

Hmm, I actually see Pussy as a quite desperate comeback by Rammstein - imo they should have made their comeback with one of the more powerful songs on LIFAD.. But whatever, done is done :'D And yeah, I somehow hope that Pussy will be replaced with another, better song on the best of-album too :'D

LOL, I really like Tyler Squirden's post - because it's so true! Some older fans seem to be stuck in the past - everything after Mutter is obviously shit in their opinion xD I personally think it would have been too boring if they still had this kinda "machine" sound - I actually like that their music has evolved and matured into a more "natural" sound ;D Don't get me wrong, I really love Rammstein's old stuff too - but I really love that they've moved along as well Just think of Schneider's drum-work - it seriously has become way more creative (if that's the right word) on their newer albums ;D

Bagpipes on Der Meister? Wow, I've never heard that one before! xD
