Rammstein For Download/Sonisphere?
Let the 2010 festival rumours begin!
You know us at Metal Hammer online, we love a rumour and here is the very first rumour that we are gathering for the 2010 festival season. Excited? You bloody should be! It involves a bunch of nutty Germans coming to a field on out fair isle and blowing the fuck out of it!
On the latest press release for Rammstein’s new single, it ends with the following nugget: “Rammstein start a run of European dates in November of this year, with UK headline shows plus a possible major festival appearance heavily rumoured for 2010.”
A bit full-on for an official release, no? We know it’d be far too much for Reading/Leeds to handle so what’s your money on? Rammstein at Download or Rammstein at Sonisphere?

I would love to see them live, but I’m really annoyed at the direction of their new album, at least the single. That was seriously the biggest crock of shit I’ve heard in a long time.
You are bloody joking me….. Excited? how can anyone get excited about these bunch of clowns no one actually knows what the hell they are singing about! well lets hope they will be in one of the tents some where. Better still not at all!
Any bets they get announced as headliner then get bumped down to the second stage in favour of BFMV or Feeder, oh and Gregg the new song kicks sven shades out of anything from ‘Rosenrot’.
agree with danny boy there a pile of shite!
The new single’s not even out yet though so how can you tell what it’s like from some 20 second snippit preview?
And Danny Boy, you don’t have to sing in English to be successful!
Why do you think they’ve sold thousands of albums worldwide!?
If you don’t understand them them then use a bloody onlien translater or brush up on your GCSE German skills you lazy sod!
Too many countries and are falling victim to anglo-americanisation, where European languages are being overun by English!
I say bring on Rammstein to healdine Download 2010!
i think Joel deserves a beer for handing you that STFU. i listen to more bands that speak/sing/scream in their own native language. just because your an ignorant little cock Danny Boy doesnt mean that every band has to make music in english just so you can hear what they saying while your wanking yourself off to pictures of boy george in prison.
but back to topic.
im really looking forward to Rammstein. i reckon they can conquer the world again after their long hiatus. im hoping for lots of little gems like on their first 2 records but then ive liked all their albums.
Cheers Luke
If anyone DOES want to know what Ramm’s songs are translated as then go here:
http://herzeleid.com/en/lyrics
Got translated lyrics/song titles for all their albums to date, and I’m sure once Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da is released the songs’ll be on there at some point (Y)
I’m definately looking forward to their live return, it’s been far too long!
Hope their stage show is interesting too
Well said Joel but surely Danny Boy is just a wind up!!!
Maybe, but half the people on this site don’t seem to have a sense of humour when it comes to some of the bands featured xD
Music does NOT have to be serious all the bloody time!
Fingers crossed for Download 2010!!
That would be great!!!
that would be awesome if they played download next year *fingers crossed*
I assume they’ll be at Download. They’ve been asked the last 6 years to headline, if I recall correctly.
I don’t think they’ll be a Download – as it has already been said that Download is going all old school again next year – Van Halen, Metallica and others were rumoured.
Therefore, i think they should, and probably will play Sonisphere on the Saturday – and Iron Maiden playing the Sunday.
Download deserve them more, having been begging them to play for years. But Sonisphere could get them if they offer more money. Subbing Maiden? Would be the Soni way.
Aye but it’s a bit early to tell yet!
Plus, there’ll probably only be one day of classic rock again as opposed to the whole 3 days, PLUS havn’t Metallica been over here more than enough times lately?
They healdined Soni this year, headlined Reading/Leeds last year, played Webley two nights in a row in 07, and headlined Download in 2006!
I’m not badmouthing them at all, but usally there’s quite a gap in years if a band headlines Download/Donnington more than once.
PLUS (lol) I don’t think Rammstein havn’t played Download/Donnington… at all I don’t think?
Or at least not in recent years, so there’d be room for them AND a classic rock headliner or two, but knowing Download there’ll be one classic band headlining one day, and one or two more modern day bands headlinging too like 2007/08.
FUCK YES!!!!!
Joel – Metallica did 1 night at Wembley, not 2.
Can’t decide whether this would be fabulous or god-awful. Rammstein fully deserve a headliner slot at a festival like Download or Sonisphere, but both festivals are so horrible that it would be a serious pain in the tits if my only chance of seeing them next year was at one of these. Download is so huge that getting anywhere near the band is nigh on impossible – I’m an old woman, and I can’t spend 10 hours hanging onto the barriers at the front any like I could 20 years ago. Sonisphere was slightly less hideous but what twat decideed to put the stage at the top of a hill – nice clear sightlines for the audience there, not. Holding out for Metaltown in Gothenburgh for a much better festi experience (so long as they get the toilets sorted).
(Me)- Metallica played the live earth gig the day before they headlined Wembley so it was two nights back to back.
To have them headline either festival would be amazing! Can’t wait for new album and new tour!!!
Jason Craig – the context was that they’d headlined as opposed to been part of, and they only played 3 songs so it would be stretching the truth to say “they played two nights back to back”. And to be pedantic, they were on in the afternoon at Live Earth…
True point ‘Me’, but the point is they still played two days in a row at Wembley while they were over
DOWNLOAD, FUCK SONISHPHERE
FUCKING DOWNLOAD
that would be immense
I like you’re thinking NICK
Download, didn’t Andy Copping say they had 1 of the headliners already lined up
I hope it’s Download to be honest. It needs some decent headliners
He did say he’d confirmed one of next year’s headliners yes!
But he’s unlikely to reveal anything until next year
But yeah, if he’s bagged them then I’m getting a ticket withotu a shadow of a doubt.
I just hoem he saves them for the last night though or the other headliners will be in shit (in comparison to them in terms of sheer bang for buck spectacle)!
This is wrong Downloads been trying to get Rammstien for ages and they never do
I can see them touring sure maybe one festival but not UK Festivals
Me- your a real cock
Jason Craig – my a real cock what? Oh, did you mean ‘you’re’? Illiterate fucktard.
Me- I think you got the maessage ha ha
Jason Craig – what, that you’re illiterate? Yes, yes I did.
Joel, are you serious? How can you contradict other people on, QUOTE ‘If you don’t understand them them then use a bloody onlien translater or brush up on your GCSE German skills’ UNQUOTE, when you can’t even use the English language properly yourself! Learn to spell, OR, try an online spellcheck, thicky!
Me – did you mean ‘i’m’ instead of ‘my’? ‘My a real cock what?’ isn’t in any shape or form, English. That does not make sense at all. Illiterate ‘fucktard’.
See now, Rammstein live is frickin’ awesome. But would the Festival bosses allow the full set? All the pyros, all the explosions, Till chasing Flake around the stage with fuck off big machette or firing a flame throwers out over the crowd… generally all the stuff that makes it a Rammstein show… or would that bastard “health and safety” stick his oar in?
Quite a lot of their pyros are an integral part of the stage so it might not be possible for them to do it all what with the change over of bands during the day.
I’m thinking Download could get them (simply cos of the amount of time they’ve been asking) but I’d prefer to see them headline a smaller venue (like Brixton again) so we’d be guaranteed the full spectacle and you can feel the heat no matter where you are!
But if they get the job…
me- Oh dear the halo has slipped and choked you.
Royal – don’t involve yourself in something that’s clearly beyond your comprehension. What I was doing was making the point that by incorrectly using ‘your’ instead of ‘you’re’, he had implied that he was talking about something I owned/was possessed by me, as opposed to speaking specifically about me. So no, I was correct and you now look like a fucktard too. Maybe you’re related to Jason?
Jason – clearly not!
me- YOUR’E so correct what i actually mean’t was do you own a cock a opposed to being one.
Me – two points i would like to make to you. Firstly, when quoting someone else, please use proper grammar, i.e ‘ or “. If you leave it blank, as you clearly did, then it would be you who was saying it. Secondly, ‘What I was doing was making the point that by incorrectly’, wrong again. Where is the comma after the second ‘was’? It is missing. Clearly another mistake, yes? So, before you dictate to people on how to spell, please take a good look at your own doing and use English grammar, which is lacking. Dipshit.
Another thing, i can involve myself in what ever i want to involve myself in, thanks.
Thanks for explaining yourself to me by the way, it was very nice of you.
Illiterate ‘fucktard’.
wot is goeing on? This is sposed to be abowt muesic not abowt u ME or wotever u call yerself. why r u pikeing on peeple wot has jason dun to u? he cum on here and sed sumfin and u just nit pik. this is sposed to be abowt muesic man not just abowt u ME
STOP actiiing lick a morron ME if u dont lick it dont say nuffin its that simpaul
Intrushun- Weell sayd ha ha.
Royal – I could pick fault with what you’ve said, but frankly, I can’t be bothered.
Jason – I can’t be bothered to attempt to decipher what you’re attempting to say.
Intrushun – It was actually Jason who started the argument here by name calling, all I was initially doing was correcting Joel and then Jason. Jason obviously didn’t like being wrong, so it’s gone on from there. As you now (should) see, I started nothing. I wasn’t “pikeing” on anyone but I take offence at being called a name for no reason. So please get your facts straight before joining in.
Anyway, this is beyond boring now, shall we just call it a day and do something more productive, like listening to some tunes?
LMFAO!!!!!
EASY! EASY! EASY!
me -Yeah lets call it quits then i’ve had my fun winding you up, let’s face it i wasn’t saying anything in particular, but it got YOUR’E goat matee.
Calm down children!
@ Royal I’m aware that I have made mistakes in some my comments but that’s because I type quite quickly.
Come on everyone makes typing mistakes now and then don’t they?
At least I’m able to take blame for my spelling unlike some of the folk commenting here.
You know who you are!
ME wot is your problum? i hav got my facs rigt i no wot im talkin bowt. I t dusnt mater ho started wot u dint ned 2 speek 2 me lick that i was tring 2 help and tell u u wer rong thats all. This isent a playgrownd wer all inteligunt peeple ho got there wiyers crossed? u have. dont worrie pick up a pengwin
wot has a fence got 2 do wiv this? Why a fence? r u a farrmer? u dint need 2 taik a fence just ask if u can borow it im shur the farrmer wont mind. no need 2 steel
I do really hope Download get Rammstein next year, they deserve it alot more than Sonisphere,
To whoever pulled the question about pyrotechniques out of the bag, in 2008 when KISS headlined, they were allowed to use pyro and fireworks, thlihgh I heard they threatened not to play if they couldn’t play.
(oh and they’ve been banned from playing in a city in Germany for using pyro without permission haha!)
Even Limp Bizkit had the odd kaboom at Download this year!
So I ask, why not Rammstein!?
Well said Will (Y)
A headlining set by Ramm at Download would surely make KISS’ pyro display look like a sparkler in comparison!
so to all you doubters why have they sold out all there european dates then if they are crap
will prob play same venues as last time in uk
and maybe one festival sonishphere prob if same date as this year as at end of european festival season
see you in europe in december
Will – good to know.
I’ve heard that Rammstein are a bit like that with their displays. I don’t think they would want to tone it down… ( *can* they tone it down??
) and talking to some mates about it it looks like it’s possible for the pyros and stuff to be protected during the day as they do the set changes so it’s a pissibolity
And Joel – too right it would!
\m/
fuckin’ grammarfags everywhere man
It would be no problem at all for a full-scale Rammstein production as a festival headline. They are already confirmed for Rock Am Ring so why couldn’t it be done over here in the UK?
I’m almost certain we’ll all be seeing them in the East Midlands next year and it will be the greatest thing ever witnessed at Donington.
I go to Barcelona to see them for the 8th time next month and have a ticket for the 2010 show at Manchester. Rammstein is simply the greatest show on earth and it WILL happen at Download.
@Andy Dreadz: or maybe not seen as their headlining sonisphere, good on em too, download used to be the dogs bolox now its just full of whiney emo bullshit, sonisphere where tha metals at!
