Thousands of fans crowded into berlin to lympics stadium for listening i think the simpler songs of genius some people accuse ram started making monotone simple music but the genius in this simplicity i love. Rock music and so on and they are one of the top and best in the world including the show and due to the music and loss i think for the 1st time in my life i can understand german. What i find most interesting would ramstein is that provocative and they are have been playing for a long time and. Also. Many foreigners something about germany at least we foreigners think you know i think that they are telling us something about. The concert on the home turf turned into a real family event for fans of all generation and. Levels of commitment to were sold out immediately. Why ramstein ramstein also might also show or some people as a matter were hero acts of 1st of all they always put on or some show. Thought i was one of those people wonderful for a father than treating his daughter to a ramstein concert she didnt have to drag me i want to see them too. But im the main reason you want your b. S. Im mostly here for her. Im sure and spent 2 weeks testing and preparing the show and the work paid off their fans were blown away. The power techniques were excellent it was a wonderful performance from beginning to end of the show over to the show the explosion the fire always great. It was awesome so the whole thing was oh so make it is a paper the atmosphere. Like all the barker crew there is so the fans like to like ok and recently the critics think what did the band thinks is very special for that. Date and in advance they said that they didnt want to end up like for example the band kiss from the United States that states that means performing in the old costumes with the old well known make playing the old stuff which doesnt shock anybody anymore thats why im stein is playing mostly the new songs from the new album and but not everything is so lets take a look what the fans posted on social media its really funny they still got what they expected 1st of all a stage for explosions and fire and no im staying content without flame throwers for example. From the outside it looked as if they had set the whole stadium on fire but dont worry. We see that here it is everything is still there again that critique some sticks out. Of how the new sounds a bit boring very very it but what other band is doing a show like im saying no band from the well because the advance a was so successful that to extend that they should be very lucky playing these huge venues as we said theyre really big outside germany i mean the touring europe right now with a big especially in america why do you think this is well because the band played right from the beginning with a cliche of the bat jim and i guess like the bad german in the movie and the way to learn the man sings and the military look every one has a some sort of reaction to this might it positive or negative and the bad most the most successful german bands in the world with german lyrics 1st of all theyre like to shock once again and then you video auslan. Its a bit of a look. There we have it the view i want to show you. That with me here is. Yes they have this illusion so the history of germany as a colonial power. Probably not so they all are very political fault i meant that they do attract unfortunately a sort of neo nazi following to some extent but they said to be very left wing so. Yeah they rarely give interviews so we have to guess what they were really trying to express with the provocations but even though sometimes it looks the up a bit they seems to be left wing songs like all links would but i will prove that so the last 234 letter really means is that the hottest beating on the left side ok michael thank you very much as a way thank you. From brutish music to you brutish just. From switzerland likes to smash windows but he does it very carefully and with surprising results hes an artist who has to in effect destroy something and then rebuild it creating a work could be a smash calculating machine or his favorite role material. You might be tempted to brand the work of artists as willful destruction. But what looks like vandalism up close makes a different impression when seen from a distance. The easiest way to grab peoples attention is to use materials creative no one has to be. Some of his last portraits are currently being shown at a gallery in basel. Often their artistic merit only becomes evident at 2nd glance. Curator philip broglie promotes this will serve an art scene with exhibitions like this one. People look around dont really think everythings broken we even have people come in who want to fix something others think were a repair work shop. But for me this is about telling stories. Specializes in classical portraits made a fine usual materials to train carpenters experimented with wood and stickers. Later he used tools like these hammers he took part in made it into this portrait and did the same thing with a calculating machine. Like a face that i want to capture it somehow see a face on the street and think thats what i want to. Thank. He finds his motifs on the internet or photographs them himself. With these traits i always make sure theres as much play of light and shadow as possible because that makes it more lively than if its illuminating even if that would be a picture. First a very good sketch is the outlines of the portrait on a pane of glass. Then he marks the spots that shouldnt shatter and those he needs to work on more intensively. Out of a car is well suited in terms of how its made because it doesnt fall apart the 1st time you strike it thats the reason i work with this kind of glass. He works on the brightest parts of the image with a hammer and chisel the brighter they are the more he concentrates on that. Its an interplay of power and pressure. One wrong blow could destroy everything. He hammers out this portrait going around half an hour. I mean its very sensitive work whats always difficult is all the shades of gray they require a few strikes but not too many if its too many then it stays that way theres no turning back. The cracks in the car windshield form a portrait seen one very good checks the contours on his smartphone to see if his work is turned out the way he planned. Extraordinary stuff.
