Hi Mr.  Back!

Yeh, I love them - in fact, it was the first harder-rocking band  which
I heard in my life.
And they keep  rocking!

I met this awesome German girl here (Wash D.C.) who was doing a stint for  
her P.H.D. - she was in the music scene and all. I asked her "what about  
Rammstien"- I could feel my points just going down the drain as soon as it left  my 
mouth. 
 She wasn't like "What the hell" but basically its like they don't  even 
register- she couldn't even comment good or bad--kind of like maybe how  Korn 
would be here to us- cant bash them and say they are bad, its just like a  no 
comment...
I think I read somewhere (or maybe heard on this list) that they basically  
were just rocker guys looking to do some band and were looking for a genre  to 
plug into and  - they were looking into a "Chili Peppers" template  but 
decided against it- Somehow they came up with the Rammstien bit- 
similar to the "Garbage" band who were just A and R people who decided to  do 
a band and just did a paint by numbers look the right way, have the right  
sound, say the right things type generic alt rock band (or whatever you want to  
call them)-
though I do like Rammstien I also realize they cant have  total heart so It 
takes a little away from it all...
