Thats quite a story ivve.
weird, I was choosing between these very 2 languages in 1st year, I took German and I don't regret it
the idea of learning a whole new language is challenging enough without having to learn Kanji on top of a new grammar and possible male/female inflections etc
however Japanese is a great language and I love when I notice that I've been looking less and less at the subtitles in anime
I know a surprising amount of Rammstein and had actually heard 2 of their other songs off th Lost Highway soundtrack before having heard Du Hast a year or 2 later
one song was called Hierate Mich and I had no idea what it meant, and so at a party meeting a german chick, she asked what german I knew, I said this and apparently i had inadvertently proposed to her
Hierate Mich is the imperative for "marry me"
Rammstein is still good. Who the hell knows what theyre saying, or why theyre so fucked up, but the beat is good.
Ivve, partially true, theyre wierd as hell, make lots of odd videos, and tend to get in lots of trouble for their live concerts for nudity, odd stuff, violence, etc.
An odd video:
one of my favorite songs by them, I kinda wish it stayed as melodic as the start
and ya, Rammstein concerts are messed up, he's often covered in silver body paint or lit on fire (the way stuntmen do)
also:
basically the town is famous due to a disaster/tragedy, for Canadians it might be like calling a band Walkerton, for americans it might be like calling it Virigina TechRammstein takes their name indirectly from the German town of Ramstein-Miesenbach, the site of the flight show disaster on 28 August 1988. The band's signature song, "Rammstein", is a commemoration of the disaster. In a short period before the band became well known, they performed using the name "Rammstein-Flugschau" (literally meaning "Rammstein-Airshow").
howie I made a rammstein joke did you see it
it was ever so funny, teehee
even quebecois is a better language than japanese
my rational mind will not accept quebecois as a word
pourquois pas?
no no the one where I quoted someone
yes
