With ramstein diehard fans also coming up on the show this is exactly what you usually dont want to see unless youre a fan of the swiss destruction are to see more go on from shattered glass to the collapse of a wealthy family we look at put in books the debut novel that won thomas a nobel prize in our series of 100 german must read. Ramstein have a reputation for putting on the most amazing large shows also one of the most controversial bands around with their frequent use of nazi era imagery that often gets them into trouble especially here in germany now they just crowned their career so far with a huge concert in the Olympic Stadium in a venue which of course was famously built to showcase the olympics in nazi germany back in 96. 00. Like moths to the flame tens of
thousands of fans crowded into berlins a lympics stadium. I think the simpler songs of genius some people accuse ram started making monotone simple music genius in this simplicity i love. On the rock music and so on and they are one of the top and best in the world including the show and the music and last i think for the 1st time in my life i can understand german. What i find most interesting with. A provocative and they are have been playing for a long time and. Also. Many foreigners something about germany at least we think you know i think that they are telling us something about. The concert on the im steins home turf turned into a real family event for fans of all generations. Commitment to your
sold out immediately. Our own son i why ramstein ramstein or also im also a show or some people doesnt matter were here or after 1st of all they always put on or some show my. Father 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 on the main reason youre here yes im mostly here for her. And spent 2 weeks testing and preparing the show and the work paid off their fans were blown away. Pyrotechnics were excellent it was a wonderful performance from beginning to end of the show vic the show the explosions the fire always great. It was awesome so the whole thing was for so many good as
a paper the atmosphere. My Colleague Barker crew is so the fans like to like a lot recently the critics think the band thinks its very special for them. And in advance they say 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 this is really funny they still got what they expected 1st of all a stage for explosions and fire and no im staying content without flames rose for example for. On the outside it looked as if they had set the whole stadium on fire
but. Here we are receiving it here it is very easy everything is still there again critique some think so ever. Of the new songs a bit boring very very it but what are the band is doing show like im showing no end 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 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 they like
to shock once again and then you video auslan. Sometimes have a look. There we have it the view i dont want to show you just brought up with me here it is. Yes they have this lucians to the history of germany as a colonial power. That he pulled it out so they all are very political but they do attract unfortunately a sort of mirror to following to some extent but they said to be very left wing so. Yeah they rarely gives interviews so we have to guess what they are 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 got us what they really need is that the hottest beating on the left ok michael thank you very much as

The windshield 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 the. Interplay of power and pressure. One wrong could destroy everything. He hammers out
this portrait in 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 the snow turning back. To.
