Rammstein

Re: Rammstein

They probably have that name because of the terrible plane crash with >100 victims among the audience during a flight show at the airbase mentioned by jmervyn.

I like the show in their live performances, but the lyrics aren't that great. Too obviously meant to shock the audience. I'm not offended by their lyrics, but they would be better to my taste if they were a bit more sophisticated.

BTW, jmervyn's avatar = :thumbsup:, as he was first IIRC (and I was actually confused for a second when I saw it first), so Garbad's = :yawn: (no offense meant).

"you have asked me and I've said nothing"

Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt.

Besides, German is probably one of the easiest languages to learn in the sense of being very structured and straightforward on its rules.

German grammar might be well-structured, but I heard that the tough thing about German is learning the gender of nouns which can be pretty random. Also, German has about as many irregular verbs as English and most of the English ones are of Germanic origin. So it's all our fault... or King Arthur's (if he has actually lived). He didn't kick the Saxons' butts hard enough to prevent them from taking over Southern England :azn:

Re: Rammstein

Agreed - JMervyn's was first and fun, took me by surprise the first time I saw it, Gar's is bad (and not in a good way).

Re: Rammstein

i like the originality... listening to rammstein is like getting a quick feeling

but then it passes... i'm no long term listener. i listen a few minutes, but i can't pull through the whole album, i jump around a lot

i respect how they want to keep pushing boundaries and have been for a long time, also, how they express where they stand politically "links zwo drei vier" (the heart beats on the left)

Re: Rammstein

The reason there are no famous german comedians is that the verb comes last.

Re: Rammstein

i don't know if that is a finn singing about german or a german singing finn-style, but my comment looks like this:

german comedians may not be world-famous, but they're nothing to sneeze at

The video had nothing to do with Finns... that word in the title was a Swedish idiom det finns - roughly equivalent in use to English "there is/are".

And that was pure German humor, born and bred.

Re: Rammstein

maybe it's swedish then... i purposely avoided saying it's finnish and instead went with saying "finn" and "finn"-style, since finns are also known to use swedish

EDIT: pwned by Wildberry... so i guess it's most likely a swedish guy attempting german or a german guy singing in swedish...

anyways, my viewpoint still stands... i have my own list of german comedians who i'm satisfied with watching

Hello again old friend.

My wife is still a massive Rammstein fan.

The reason there are no famous german comedians is that the verb comes last.

I always thought that myself. Wish I could understand that clip.

Its my avatar. =P

Yeah, you original person you.

If you two were really clever you'd crop out all the blank space below the text, bannees don't have 75 pixels of empty space between the name and the join date.

And if you were half as clever as you believe yourself to be, you'd realize I messed around trying to do that for about 5 seconds before deciding not to bother.

But then, some of us don't have the sole purpose in life of mindlessly spamming responses on a discussion board that's not about a specific video game.

You have a good 4 years + seniority over Dondrei on these forums. Does the amount of posts per day really count when all it means is that he spends half the time writing that you spend reading.

If this was meant as trolling, it really didn't work out for you; you're claiming that I spend twice as much time reading posts as Donny spends spamming them.

Might want to brush up on the old comprehension yourself, if you weren't trying to give me a completely unprovoked compliment. :girly:

Re: Rammstein

You do. In fact you spent some 3-4 years spamming here before he even started spamming so gives you that many more no life points.

Re: Rammstein

Ah, the internets -- the world's only true meritocracy. The first open discourse of the people since Ancient Greece. Barriers will tumble down, the great issues of our time will be rationally and intelligently debated as we fearlessly battled bands of trolls in pursuit of truth, and in the end ignorance will collapse before the collective light of our reason...

Remember back when we believed that?

Me either. Here, have a lolcat:

I never said there was anything wrong with it. You're the one who went to a video game forum and proclaimed that you had more important things than post on video game forums.

You're now compounding the error, since you not only seem to equate posting with "mindlessly spamming responses", but also failed to grasp that I was referring to putting in extra work to truncate my avatar's image.

EDIT - and I prefer Dunecat

Didn't really like Rammstein, although they were interesting.
