Rammstein fans angry over ‘credit crunch’ concert
German industrial metal band Rammstein have been forced to apologise to their fans after a “low key” performance left many feeling short changed. The band are claiming that since the recession they have had to “downscale” their theatrical ambitions, and are hoping that the “music will do the talking” for them.
Rammstein fan Alice Kreuzfeld-Smith said “When Till Lindemann shimmied down a rope holding a sparkler – that actually went out halfway down the rope – I thought to myself… ‘maybe they’ve made some cut-backs’, but I wasn’t prepared for what followed. Recession or no recession, I’ve got expectations for a Rammstein concert, and they don’t include a catherine wheel that fails to go off.”

6:08 pm on March 20th, 2010Is this some sort of joke? :S
I think it’s safe to say the concerts most of us have seen/been to were nothing short of spectacular! I saw them in Barcelona and Birmingham and there was no “cost cutting” to be seen.
