Friday Top 10: Best live albums
What’s better than listening to your favorite album by your favorite band? Seeing your favorite band live. And what’s better than spending your day watching midget porn? Nothing… uh… I wanted to go somewhere with this… oh yeah! What happens when you combine the first question with the first answer? Not listening to your iPod while you’re at a concert, you dumbass, listening to your favorite band’s live album!
You know why metal bands are the best live performers? Because others aren’t metal. So now I’m listing the best fucking live albums… like… EVER!
Make the jump, you fool!
Rammstein are invading America
Rammstein are invading North America. After playing a sold out show at the Madison Square Garden in New York last December, Rammstein are coming to the States for their first North America tour since 2001, covering nine cities, including some Canadian ones.
Rammstein are known for their love for America and their flawless English accents and are coming to the States in May for nine headlining gigs. Richard Kruspe, Rammstein guitarist and known New York lover (for real), commented on this tour:
“We have waited 10 long years for the perfect opportunity to bring our full show to North America. The time is now and we are excited to share this with our fans who have waited for so long.”
Dates after the jump.
Apocalyptica set the record straight
A couple of days ago, a German website called Anwalt24.de leaked information about the trademark infringement case involving Apocalyptica and Rammstein. The website claimed that Rammstein sued Apocalyptica and the latter were ordered to pay 45,000€ (about $59,000) to Rammstein.
Apocalyptica now issued a statement regarding the leak and the case;
“The article’s headline is substantially wrong: neither the band Apocalyptica nor their management are or were involved in the described lawsuit. However, the parties involved are the band Rammstein and Sony Music Entertainment GmbH, as the successor of the by now-defunct affiliated label GUN Records.
It is correct that GUN Records published advertisements with the stated endorsement disregarding existing agreements, and the band Rammstein subsequently filed a lawsuit against Sony Music Entertainment GmbH as the parent company. It is furthermore correct that Sony Music Entertainment GmbH and Rammstein have agreed on a settlement, the details of which, however, are unknown to Apocalyptica and Halbe Miete Management. We ask that further articles on the topic correctly reproduce the facts.”
Well, alright. I didn’t care 3 days ago and I don’t care today either.
My Thoughts On: Rammstein
First off, this is kind of a new format we’d like to write. “My Thoughts On” is exactly what it says, we post our thoughts, our personal opinions about a subject and I’m starting with Rammstein.
Why Rammstein of all bands, you might ask. Well, you’ll understand why within the first couple of sentences. Let’s get it on after the jump.
The day Germany sued Finland
In 2007, Apocalyptica released their album ‘Worlds Collide,’ that featured many guest vocalists, including Till Lindemann of Rammstein, who sang on their cover of David Bowie’s ‘Heroes,’ called ‘Helden’ in German. That much I knew already because I’m a fan of this particular song and especially Lindemann’s vocals on said track.
Apparrently, Apocalyptica promoted ‘Worlds Collide’ in Germany with a sticker on it, saying ‘featuring Rammstein,’ instead of… you know… ‘featuring Till Lindemann of Rammstein‘ and that caused Rammstein to sue Apocalyptica for trademark infringement and Apocalyptica were ordered to pay 45,000€ (about $59,000) to Rammstein.
I don’t want to add anything to this because Rammstein are known to even sue their fansites for ridiculous reasons. Check out a fan made video of Apocalyptica featuring Rammstein Till Lindemann after the jump. It’s a good song nonetheless.
