Oomph..

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.

To my great shame I didn’t know the band until Saturday morning.
I went to the Graspop M.M. festival and they played that afternoon.
From what I could make from the information at the little info book that I got when I arrived I thought I would like them.
As I said I never heard from them before but the Gig was one of the best ones I have ever seen, they totally got me going and the crowd went crazy after only a few songs.
Are there any other Oomph fans over here, I’m downloading :oops: :wink: a few songs at the moment but I would love to buy a record if I can find one. Are there any someone could recommend?

I have made some pictures wish I will post on my site as soon I'll get them back.

....and to say Oomph started out earlier than Rammstein ;-)

Something Richard from Rammstein once said in an interview, something like...

"I feel kinda bad for the guys [Oomph]... they even the road for us for about ten years, then we jump right over them, get rich and famous, and then everyone goes like 'oooh, look at that band Oomph, they are real Rammstein-clones' "

I guess that goes for a thousand of bands all over the world really ;D

Still, Oomph are great. So is Rammstein.

And how was the rest of GRASPOP, Christofke?

I couldn't make it, pal. I was in Leeds :von:

Yup.

Leeds :von:

I hear they inspired a lot of bands and I can see why.
At first they played a lot of Rammstein like songs but they convinced me there was more to them then the Rammstein approach. (loud, hard, fast and Fire ) I’ll probably go see them again on the Dour festival, KMFDM plays as well and I think they are worth to see as well.
As for the rest of the festival Izzytje.
It was great; only too bad we didn’t saw the whole Alice Cooper show.
Motörhead was super, You could see Lemmy had lots of fun.

I hear you ware in Leeds pal, and sounds like you have made a rather Good impression on the English peeps. :lol:
Next time I’ll go along.
