Laibach in N.Korea - Dass jemand ein Konzert gibt, dass für jemand anderen als das anwesende Publikum gedacht ist, erlebt man nicht so häufig.

Oh Mist, hab ich schon wieder Star Trek und Star Wars verwechselt? Sorry.
All Germans listen to Rammstein on repeat? 🤨
So, I have to admit I bought their first two albums when I was young and edgy. I'm sure a lot of people eventually grow out of their "let's listen to rape fantasy songs performed by a guy that was accused of actual rape" phase that other people might never have been in, so I guess there are quite a lot of Germans that don't heavy-rotate them.
Before all that row zero drama I checked out their then-recent album. "Deutschland" was great and still sticks out to me, partly because I liked the song as such but also partly because the text is not so much about wanting to fuck corpses and much more about the inner conflicts of the German identity.
“let’s listen to rape fantasy songs performed by a guy that was accused of actual rape”
What? Which song does that? I don't speak German so they all just sound like, 'cool shouty German', with flame throwers to me.
Not OP and actually a Rammstein fan, but a bunch of them do.
Ich tu dir weh, Puppe, and Wiener Blut are the first ones coming to mind.
Or weißes Fleisch. Or Liese.
I mean, I get it, their selling point is provocation. They bank on themes like that. I'm not even judging, I'm just saying that keeps and drives more than enough people away from them, too. It's not like they are universally loved, fat from it. Their fans are devoted, certainly... Concerts are sold out, no matter how big the stadium. But I know more people that made a conscious decision not to listen to them than who do and their texts play a big part in that (which is absolutely in line with their intentions as they could hardly sell provocation if people didn't feel offended).
Engel or Mein Herz brennt
Fuck Reddit, fuck u/spez and fuck anyone who goes back!!
Mein Herz brennt in the piano version is really one of their best songs.
