战车的现场与索多玛的120天

　　对德国的了解，确实是始于二战中作恶多端的纳粹，后来才慢慢认识了战前很长时期里的优秀文化和战后至今的各种优质产品。德国，德国人，就象一个严谨有礼的绅士，在我的印象中，是干净利索的短发；是一丝不苟的态度；是理性思维的擅长者；是冷漠与高贵。

　　再后来，身边有不少朋友都去了德国，德国电影，德国音乐不知不觉中进入了我们的文化生活。Kraftwerk基本算是我最早听到的德国音乐，早期的电子，今天听来却丝毫没有寒碜的感觉，简单却极具想象力，仿佛可以在音乐中触摸到理性的模样。接着很多听黑金属的朋友频频介绍德国，北欧的乐队----虽然到现在为止我依然无法接受BLACK METAL，但是德国BM乐队的形象深深的留了下来：肌肉男，嗓音/唱法骇人的主唱，强烈到你无法理解的某种信仰；最重要的一点是：音乐上古典元素的反复运用让他们显得既有激情又有理性。这更加加强了我印象中德国人那种坚如磐石的气质：冷硬，男人味---不过，多加了一点---等待爆发的疯狂。

　　Lacrimosa和Rammstein是我们相对熟悉的德国乐队，尽管一个阴柔一个阳刚，一个极力回复古典的优雅，一个全情投入工业的严整，但他们都以不同的形象展示了似乎是德国人气质里的冰冷---是的，冷得让我产生了许多恐怖的联想，比如月黑风高杀人夜，比如纳粹军官用人皮作画。

　　我不能确定，这只是我个人的想象力丰富，或真是这些德国音乐从骨子里透出来的气氛。在我看了Rammstein（战车）的柏林现场以后，我确定了，我确定了我内心中的点点恐惧并非只是杞人忧天。朋友们把战车的柏林现场说得天花乱坠般的精彩---当然他们的音乐，现场发挥，各种硬件条件，真的是我们为之着迷的地方---但是，我最深的感受恐怕只能是：恐惧与恶心。

　　
　　...........................

　　德国人太可怕了，他们的音乐已经很好的说明了这一点，而这绝不是一种对高手的赞赏。

by Ed Nimmervoll
Rammstein was formed in 1993 by an assembly of factory-weary proletarians raised in East Germany. They took their name (adding an "m") from the location of a German tragedy where 80 people were hurt and killed as the result of a crash during an American Air Force flight show. The literal translation of "ram stein" is a battering ram made of stone.
Word of Rammstein's horror romanticist blend of theatre and music spread like wildfire. One-time Olympic swimmer Till Lindemann would sing entire songs engulfed in flame from head to toe. The band's first album, Herzeleid (or Heartache), built on the grounds created by the band's live reputation. Scaling the German charts (and remaining there until the release of the second Rammstein LP some two years later), the album also introduced the band to the world outside of the Germany/Switzerland/Austria region. As Rammstein's second album, Sehnsucht (Longing), was released, the band was headlining throughout Europe to crowds of 10,000 to 30,000 people. Sehnsucht entered the German charts at number one immediately upon its release, and came very close to doing to the same in Austria and Switzerland. Within weeks, entries on other countries' charts had Sehnsucht rubbing elbows with Prodigy, Radiohead, and the Rolling Stones on Billboard's cumulative Eurochart. From there the fever spread, transcending any perceived language barrier. Somehow, the German language is integral to the Rammstein sound.
