Hi everyone. Since most of you are German, I am assuming you have at least heard of Ramstein. So do you like it? If so, whats your favorite song? If you dont, what other type of music do you like?

i would say that i could count all the germans here with my fingers :) why do you think we write english here all the time? there are much english/american and spanish/"whatever countries that speak spanish" users, only a very small part is german or dutch.

I'm not aGearman but I like Ramstein.
I mostely like Rock and I have periods when I like very much one band(like 2-4 weeks I liked very much Scorpions or Savatage or Alice Cooper) but all togather I love them all very much(but I ofer them my heart separetly:)) ).
But I am not limited only on rock, I also like hause, disco, rock n' roll, blues, rave, tehno, classic, and many more( but don't count R n' B even though I can find one rnb to bee nice).

I pretty much like rock too. I though irrlicht was a german word anyway so thats where I got that idea.

just because its a german word it does not have to be a german community :) i like rammstein too (not all songs, though). i also like (heavy,nu)metal and maybe even a little punkrock.

I believe its spelled 'Rammstein', and it's alright to listen to every once in a while.. not too much
tho.

and omaremad: Dutch and German are very different languages!!

FOA: i'm from Austria.

if you really look at the differences the following facts appear:

schools in germany/austria/switzerland will teach "their form of German, Standard".

if you look at: http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=AT
we have 2 ethnic and one official german dialects in austria. if you ask
the average austrian thats 5-8 dialacts.

switzerland is really problematic:
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=CH

http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=DE
for germany thats 17 ethic dialects.

if you look at: http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=NL
it also shows some german dialetcs but those are of the more obscure sort.

that basically means that even Germans and Austrians may not fully
understand each other, unless the Germans are from Bavaria or speak
"German, Standard" (and the Austrian too) -- even less a Dutch speaker
whose dialect seperated some 500 years ago.

the fun thing is that someone speaking "Yiddish" (=Jewish; not really
related to Hebrew) will be understood quite good in Vienna by natives,
although it mostly developed in (slavic) eastern europe.

:)

PS: and i love rammstein (or was that ramstain?) ;-)

Rammstein has got good tunes, I'd also suggest listening to other older Industrial bands and some other new ones: i.e. Front 242 (although they're not so heavy, they definitely are pioneers in this genre), KMFDM (might be to "housy" sometimes), Rob Zombie, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Godflesh, Nitzer Ebb, and even Marilyn Manson. Then there's this Nu metal movement which is freaking interesting and attractive! :wink:

As I mentioned it before, I've been listening to slipknot a lot.
