SOAD song:

Intro
Loud bit
Quiet bit
Loud bit
Soaring bit
Loud bit
Quiet Bit
Loud bit
End.

Repeat twelve times, give it a title and sell it.

Totally agree (with the odd change) but like The Ramones I love them to bits and look forward to every 'new' song.

I once listened to SoaD in order of their albums all the way through and i do see how the band has evolved - changing their style slowly. And they remain one of my favourite bands. <3

They really haven't changed since SOAD. They've got a bit more pretentious but that's about it.

Judging from your vast collection, you must be a fan?

Not really, no.

I got the demo through an aquaintance years ago, The promos I've got through radio work, club work or via aquaintances in that line.

I haven't felt the need to buy any others as I could just listen to that one and get the same experience.

Swaying back on topic to Rammstein, know of any more bands that sound like them, industrial i think is the correct term.

Rammstein aren't industrial.

Fair enough to the above points.

As for Rammstein, what else can you class them as? When i first heard them, they really were like no other band i had ever listened to.

Name some present industrial bands then and explain what genre Rammstein is? =/

Listen to Ministry, Skinny Puppy, NON (if you want to go way back), KMFDM, Einstürzende Neubauten, Frontline Assembly, Pitch Shifter (not pitchshifter though - different style), Godflesh, Laibach, Front 242, Throbbing Gristle, Coil...

Currently, 'Industrial' music has been pushed more towards electronica; you have gabber acts (Gabba God, Vohnny Violent/Ultraviolence and so on) who take Industrial to a polemical extent, ripping out a 4/4 beat, upping the tempo, adding syncopation and layering samples and vocals...But then you have the EBM side of things; borne out of F242 and their cohorts, retaining a stricter time signature and a more 'open' sound.

Rammstein? Right now I'd place them as a generic Metal band...Sehnsucht was nudging towards an Industrial flavour but they hen kind of took a step backwards towards an open, radio-friendly, polyrhythmic sound...
