Not sure they'd have been quite right for the 100 Club It'll be fine as long as there's a roadie with a fire extinguisher and a bucket of sand. Rammstein is one band who need a big stage but their shows are so much more than just music. I think someone whose not in to Rammsteins music could enjoy their shows almost as a theatre show. Quote

I took my missus to the MK Stadium gig. While she'd never heard their music and wouldn't choose to now she hugely enjoyed the gig. Quote

I know somebody who works with him and has done for many years. I can't be too specific. Your comments apparently are bang on. What you see onscreen is what he's really like. Completely devoid of any single redeaming character. Did you ever see that TV series where he toured Ireland with his wife in a car? Absolutely dreadful. Quote

LeftyP Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 Lacking charisma-just about anyone who sits in front of a television camera these days. I'm staying in a hotel and they have a TV on in the breakfast room. I've never seen so many bland and beige people ever! Quote

I would argue the talent point is unfair. He can technically sing, he just does it in a way that sounds so bland. I think that's the problem with Coldplay, they're all decent enough musicians, they just make music that is extremely bland. It's the sonic equivalent of beige. 1 Quote

Their first album was really good and they could have gone on in that direction. But no, they had to have a blinkin' big hit and all the life was sucked from their heads. Quote

I think they end up afraid to do anything creative after that just in case it doesn't do well. They need to keep the sales up once they've got used to the money, women/men/other and drugs. Like Dave Hedgehog in Bottom said, it's all about birds, booze and budgerigars. Quote
