It was an awesome show; Rammstein puts on a fucking great performance!!! There was something to watch/look at for every song. Unfortunately this was probably a good part of the reason there was no moshing. (HOW DISAPPOINTING! T_T) Still, it was awesome for all that it was lacking in moshing. Liz and I started out around 4-ish rows back, but quickly pushed our way up to the 2nd row.

There really is nothing like the feeling of being completely unable to move in a crowd because of the press of bodies all around you; simultaneously being surrounded by fucking loud, fucking awesome music!

Hahah, toward the end of Pussy, they brought out a big cannon, painted to look like a penis -- and shot soapy foam all over the pit. And like the smart thing that I am, I got distracted, held my breath, and then realized I had to breathe and promptly inhaled the soap. And choked. Yes, I'm a fucking idiot. Everyone in the pit got wet with soapy foam. THEN they shot ticker tape out of the dick-cannon, so we were all wet, and soapy, and covered in paper.

...IT WAS KIND OF AWESOME.

They opened with Rammstein, which was great. And along the way Du Riechst So Gut, Du Hast, Links 2 3 4, and Pussy were probably my favorites of the songs they played. I would have liked to hear more from Sehnsucht (Eifersucht, or Büch Dich, or Spiel Mit Mir in particular), but the last song of the night was Engel:



Yes. That was fire shooting out of the tips of those FUCKING EPIC mechanical wings. (...Did I mention how much Rammstein uses pyrotechnics in their shows?)



Also. The opening band was Combichrist, who I was actually excited to see live! They're also a dance metal/industrial band whose songs I really like (especially to dance to at clubs). GODDAMN THEY WERE FINE. Smudgy body paint, jeans riding really low (and tight)... NNGHHHH.

\:D/ Glad you enjoyed it, Sara! And good to know they still use pyrotechnics for their show. Waaaaay back when I saw them they set the singer on fire and pulled him, standing on a platform, through the audience.

PS: Can't see the pic you posted. :(

I mean this is complete fangirl wish-fulfilment, but I bet you Arthur has an insane crush on the band, collectively, and in his secret heart of hearts he would totally let Till or Richard do him if they asked.

Yes.

I totally believe that. *nods* Not like he'd actually tell Eames or Ariadne or anything, naturally.

Jealousssssss. I'd lovelovelove to see them live. (I have a slightly bizarre and inadvisable crush on Till.)

Combichrist sound like exactly my cup of chai. Am checking them out now!

Combichrist verdict: AWESOME.

Oddly enough, I couldn't see the picture at first, but now? GIANT FIRE-BELCHING WINGS OF BRILLIANCE.

Hee, me too. ;) Behind the bad boy act, he's totally shy and adorable in interviews. I like that in guys.

Oh, me too! Total kink. Is that even a kink? If it isn't, it should be!

When I first saw Callum being his awkward, dorky, shy self in an interview, I just melted.

Seriously: RAMMSTEIN = FLAMETHROWERS. And, surprisingly, SEQUIN SUITS!!! You are Fabulous, Christian!
I must admit while watching the show I was reminded of the cartoon Metalocalyps, and the crazy shows that band put on ^^

"Release the Kittiiiiiiiiiies!!"
