We'll I went with bunch of buddies of mine to see one of my favorite bands, Rammstein perform live at Grand West Arena in Cape Town. First thing people always say is "Who the **** is Rammstein?". This is usually followed by a thought bubble in my head filled with fire and brimstone. Well, if you don't know it a German Metal band, and happens to be totally awesome in every possible way! Now some of you might prefer to go to Roxette or to see Celine Dion live. Not me! I like to ROCK! Thats exactly what I did. The show was filled with pyrotechnics, lighting effects, and crazy shit the likes of which Cape Town has never seen before. Christian 'Flake' Lorenz, the keyboard player for Rammstein came crowd surfing over me in an inflatable boat, how cool is that! They set this poor gimp on fire during the show, lucky he was wearing protective clothing. They kept firing off those flame throwers, the heat of them hit our faces like walking into a furnace and when they started playing my favorite song 'Du reich so gut' I was going crazy, hopping around like a mad rabbit surrounded by an orgy of thousands, dark jumping mad rabbits. Man! these guys are hardcore! Some label them as Neo-Nazi Satanic Evil delinquents, and if you one of them I feel sorry for you because you will never get what Rammstein is really about, one of the most intellectual minded and thought provoking acts ever. It brought out all the dregs from the sewers of Cape Town, the lost generations, the dead, the ones you never see when you walk along the boardwalks of the Waterfront in the day time, and it made them feel alive again. All my best friends were present :) Thanks Rammstein for that wonderful show.
