Rammstein: Industrial Angels (2003 Video) User Reviews

A very good source of info about Rammstein

[shambolism · 8/10 · 27 April 2006]

A very insightful look at Germany's biggest musical export, Rammstein: Industrial Angels interviews various prolific people in the early years of the band.

Focusing on Richard Z. Kruspe-Bernstein (guitars) and his creation of the band and the very individual industrial rock style he was pioneering, the film provides an in-depth narrative and interviews from media personalities, friends and various other people who know the band.

While being an excellent source of background information on this fantastic band, the lack of any footage of the band itself or any music by Rammstein is disappointing.

just an ordinary bootleg

This documentary really sucks. None of the band members are being interviewed. Just some (old) friends and Americans who can't even pronounce the German words. There is also an (INCORECT) discography included and a trivia, which is too EASY! It can be interesting for people, who just became a Rammsteinfan, but when you're a fan for a longer period, you'll probably know anything already that is told on this DVD. Remember, that this is not an official release!

If you want to buy it, search for a cheap one, because it isn't worth much money! The same goes for the CD Maximum Rammstein, developed by the same people.

Unlike someone else I wouldn't call this a bootleg. Calling it a bootleg suggests the DVD is illegal. Which would bring up as to why a certain online rental spot that uses the colors blue and yellow has it for rent. Which is how I ended up watching this.

It's okay as far as it's questions. But the editing is beyond hope. The silliness of locating a camera behind the interviewee is distracting. But worst of all, they don't use Rammstein music. It likely would have been better just to strip what music there is off the documentary. Alas they don't and clearly the idiots who are controlling this item don't understand Rammstein. Rammstein isn't death metal. Yet half the time we've got death metal playing in the background.

Then there is the interviewee's themselves. Where did they dig them up. Some of them aren't the best fans in the world. One in particular seemed to be a little hostile, but still raved about them. You'll likely get a better semi documentary off their music video DVD. (no don't ask me to spell it. I don't speak German) Hence the confusion all these years over You hate and you Have me. :P
