Rosenrot.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I have to say it grew on me.

Being a huge fan of the 'Herzeleid'-CD, I kinda lost them right after that first one.

But since my missus puts on 'Mutter' and 'Reise Reise' occasionally, I decided to buy 'Rosenrot'. Also because I think 'Benzin' is a very nice song in the 'Herzeleid'-vein.

I have to admit that after the first song 'Benzin' I found all went a bit calm up till 'Te quiero puta', but after a couple of weeks I have to say I was wrong.

'Mann Gegen Mann' is also a real stomper, a bit 'Feuer Frei' kinda thing. 'Rosenrot' is a nice song with nice lyrics, and 'Spring' must be the deepest lyrics they have ever written, togerther with 'Feuer & Wasser'.

The only minor point is the Texas-chick whining away. Never liked her voice, and don't know what she is doing on this CD. Ah, well.

I also have to admit that System Of A Down's 'Hypnotize' is a lot better than the new Rammstein, tho ;)

Still have to hear the first BAD CD from the guys :)

Brings back good memories about Primus, FNM/Mr. Bungle, Suicidal/Infectious Grooves, Butthole Surfers and old Anthrax ;D

Suicidal Tendencies - Instituitionalised.

What a mind-bogglingly awesome track. 8) Takes me back to my youth does that. Who was it had the 'Speak English Or Die' t-shirt - them or Stormtroopers Of Death - can't remember. Funny as fcuk, whoever. :notworthy:

Meanwhile, that 'Texas' number is sublime, Mr Iz.

Suicidal Tendencies were indeed awesome, Dude!
Saw them on the Clash of Titans tour with Testament, Megadeth and Slayer. Quite an intense night out :lol:

Well I wasn't there, so who took you to A&E after that one. :lol: :notworthy: Or were the paramedics on standby in the venue?

Them were the days. :twisted:

That's the Chappie!
I arrived late (and well tanked up) stumbled up to the doors to pay, next thing I knew I'd walked all the way into the auditorium, unchallenged! :D

I finally succumbed to alcohol exhaustion during Slayer, that and trying to emulate their head movements. Some nice chaps round me huckled me to my feet and stood me up till I came round. I then blagged a free ride back to Glasgow on one of the buses outside. Most of the day is a fog, but what a day Image

And who might you be sharing the robe with John? :notworthy:

Not listened to it for a few weeks, thanks for the prompt.

You've not listened to "Steal This Album!" then? ;)

I loved Toxicity, but after that it was a real let down. Still haven't got around to buying Mesmerize or Hypnotize, still blowing my bank balance on dodgy 80s back catalogs :urff:

And Mann Gegen Mann is hilarious if only for the embarassment of those who don't know what they're singing along to ;D

I have to admit that 'steal this album' is the least attractive of all. Kinda weird, because 'Toxicity' is class, and so are 'Mez/Hyp' :?: You still have to buy them, really ;)

Especially when the last sentence is written 'Mann Gaygen Mann' in the CD booklet ;D

For no other reason than it's been banging out on the stereo since 6am this morning. It is rather fab and groovy. Still. :von:

I presume you've got no neighbours? :lol: Either way, well bumped Sir.

For my part, it's been Virgin Voices II (tribute to Madonna), courtesy of Mr Hunter. :notworthy: Genius, in parts, mainly the bits with Ofra Haza or Memphisto Waltz. :twisted: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: Maybe this belongs on another thread. :innocent: :wink:

Nice bump, since these days the 'Mann Gegen Mann' single is the new chart single here in Belgium. And my missus is swooning every time she sees Till in that videoclip ;) Granted, she does that with EVERY Rammstein videoclip, but especially this one ;D

Spring is my track of the week. Fcuking awesome, and very nice to scream from the bottom of the garden whilst burning stuff. Deliciously appropriate somehow. :lol: :twisted: 8) :notworthy:

Less 'free' as much as 'confined within a metal bin' :lol:

But yeah, the thought is still pretty perilous. Fear not, Ethan keeps an eye on it all for me. ;D
