Rate The Artist/Musician #47 - Rammstein
Well last time, we had George Canyon, Jay-Z, Type O Negative, and of course Pink Floyd. George got a 45, Jay-Z a 51, Type a decent 69 :naughty:, and Pink Floyd a 87 (Would have tied Hendrix if not for Skips vote :mad:) But ah well this tim... FEUER FREI! Rammstein http://www.enquire.org.uk/youngpeopl...rammstein1.jpg Rammstein is a German NDH-metal band. The band is widely accepted as part of the Neue Deutsche Härte-scene, alongside bands such as Oomph! and Die Krupps. Their sound has been dubbed as Tanz-Metall (lit. "Dance Metal").<sup id="_ref-2" class="reference"></sup> Their songs are performed almost exclusively in German. Formed in 1994, they have sold over 12 million records worldwide. Rammstein's entire catalogue is published by Universal Music Group. Although most songs are written in German, the band has had significant success outside German-speaking nations, in Europe as well as in the rest of the Western World, and Asia. It has been confirmed that the band is reunited from their vacation and has begun writing their sixth studio album, which will be released sometime in 2008. Kruspe, Riedel and Schneider originally founded Rammstein following an attempt by Kruspe to compose American-influenced music with a West Berlin band called Orgasm Death Gimmicks. As Kruspe put it, "I realized it's really important to make music and make it fit with your language, which I didn't do in the past. I came back [to Germany] and said, 'It's time to make music that's really authentic'. I was starting a project called Rammstein to really try to make German music". He invited Till Lindemann, a former competitive swimmer and drummer for the garage-rock band First Arsch, to join the project as a vocalist. The four entered a contest for new bands and won, attracting the interest of Paul H. Landers, who knew them all and decided to join the band. Christian "Flake" Lorenz was the last member to join; he had played with Landers before in the punk-rock band Feeling B and was initially reluctant to come on board, but was eventually persuaded to join. Their first album was released a year later. 1) Jimi Hendrix - 91 2) David Bowie - 89 3) Queen - 89 4) Johnny Cash - 87 5) Pink Floyd - 87 6) Tupac - 85 7) Guns N' Roses - 83 8) Public Enemy - 83 9) The Doors - 81 10) Iron Maiden - 80 11) Alice in Chains - 80 12)Pearl Jam - 79 13) Dio - 78 14) Dr. Dre - 77 15) Gang Starr - 77 16) Black Sabbath - 76 17) Children of Bodom - 76 18) Metallica - 75 19) Ice-T - 74 20) Pantera - 73 21) Stone Temple Pilots - 73 22) Sonic Youth - 72 23) Primus 70 24) Queens Of The Stone Age - 69 25) Type O Negative - 69 26) Garth Brooks - 68 27) Nine Inch Nails - 67 28) Joy Division - 65 29) Wu Tang Clan - 64 30) Megadeth - 64 31) Outkast - 64 32) Anthrax - 62 33) The Killers - 61 34) Dropkick Murphys - 61 35) Eminem - 60 36) Slayer - 60 37) Tenacious D - 59 38) NOFX - 59 39) Disturbed - 54 40) Godsmack - 51 41) Jay-Z - 51 42) George Canyon - 45 43) U2 - 40 44) Staind - 31 45) Rihanna - 28 46) 50 Cent - 27 |

4. They've got a couple good songs, but they sell themselves on shock and a stage show, and unlike Manson, they don't back it up with much along the lines of talent.

Also, and I'll post it here because the results are in it, I'm a little surprised to see Pink Floyd outscored by Bowie and Queen. I mean, even with Emoskippord's score, I expected them to be big enough that no single fag's score could take them down.
|
Yeah, Pink Floyd should be #1
|
No Metallica should. :mad:
|
Seriously, Dio better then Metallica? Don't fucking think so. :mad:
|
Dio has a drummer worth a fuck.
|
Dio is infact better than Metallica

lol come on, Oomph! and Die Krupps? |
I don't get what's funny about that, but I don't know who Oomph! is, and I've only heard of Die Krupps through a compilation or two.

What Up G?

Oomph! baby baby
Baby baby Oomph! baby baby Baby baby |
very good band, 9. I cant believe U2 is rated so low. I know bono is a tit but they have some good songs. They deserve to be higher than shit like Garth Brooks and Distrurbed. And Queen should be no. 1. Thank you Wembley
|
lol @ Dio being higher than Dr. Dre.

Dio's not mindblowing or anything, but Dre's primarily good as a producer. As a rapper, he's okay, but really.... |

Rammstein is all about fun, and I like fun. |
el freg :heart:

I give Rammstein a solid 8. I spent two years in Germany and they were the mainstay in the Metal Scene there. Entirely too much techno over there, though.
As for Dio being better than Metallica, I guess it's a matter of preference. Dio was one of the first I fell into listening to, with Metallica being next as it just seemed to be the 'In' stuff to be listening to at the time. I consider Metallica more of a 'fad' than anything else. |
Metallica in many ways really was a fad. Though you can't knock their commercial success. However, their success is rivaled by such legends as the Backstreet Boys, Kenny G, and Linkin Park (Actually, LP has only sold like 12 million records less than Metalica with far fewer records or years active....How's that for proof of what sales mean?).

Metallica is the greatest. Godsmack rules. And wrestling is fake.
