German industrial metallers RAMMSTEIN have scheduled what appears to be a one-off show in the U.S. — the band's first in 10 years — on December 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
In a recent interview with Seattle Gay News, RAMMSTEIN guitarist Richard Kruspe was asked when fans could expect to see the band perform in America. "Good question," he replied. "Actually, we talked about it today, a lot. What we plan to do right now is a lot of things — we're not 20 anymore, so things have changed for us. At the moment, it looks like America is the only market where we cannot provide the same show as we play in the rest of the world. So we have to be balanced, like, what makes financial sense? One of my dreams is Madison Square Garden — just to play one show and to feel out, like if there is a need for us, are people waiting for us, what can we do, what would be the next step? It can change, nothing is set in stone, nothing is confirmed, but we've talked about what's the best thing, so the fans are happy and the band is happy. But I'm a big supporter of the American market."
RAMMSTEIN's latest album, "Liebe Ist Für Alle Da", sold 22,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 13 on The Billboard 200 chart. Previously, the group's best rank came with its 1998 chart debut, "Sehnsucht", which peaked at No. 45 off the strength of its only U.S. radio chart hit, "Du Hast".
"Liebe Ist Für Alle Da" arrived in stores on October 20, 2009 through a marketing and distribution deal with Vagrant Records and Universal Music Germany. The album was produced by Jacob Hellner and RAMMSTEIN, with recording done at Northern California's Sonoma Mountain Studio. The first single from the 11-track release was "Pussy", which was released as a digital single on September 22, 2009 and accompanied by one of the year's most viral videos.
RAMMSTEIN is:
Till Lindemann - Vocals
Paul Landers - Guitar
Richard Z. Kruspe - Guitar
Oliver Riedel - Bass
Christoph Schneider - Drums
Flake Lorenz - Keyboards

Do not like but might shoot |
|
I was waiting for somebody to see that. |
|
I'm going, possibly one of the most awesome bands I've ever seen live. |
|
no interest in this. are they a band that can pack msg? |
|
I was thinking the same thing. In terms of size, it must be like playing the TD bank garden. Are they that big of a band? |
|
didnt they get banned from Worcester? |
|
I saw them like 10-12 years ago..it was enrtaining for a few minutes but going boring and obnxious very quick |
|
i have only been in msg once. on new years 1995 when i was under 21 and walked into a phish concert that was going on there with a friend by walking in through the outdoor. |
|
Metallica is my only msg show |
|
Apparently they sold out Madison Square Garden... hoping they'll do a regular US tour after this |
|

|

|
I work for a company that deals with "big" event tickets |
|
I had no idea they had such a following. |
|
how sad is it that 22,000 albums sold gets you #12 on Billboard now ... it says their record with "Du Hast" only made it #45 but back then I guarantee you they sold 20x as many albums to make it to that lowly position. |

|
Abigail Williams was just added to this show. |
|
Wouldn't doubt it. Ubiquitous buttdarts. |
|
haha...i was never opposed to some rammstein...it's true that they would do more than a major american venue would let them, but at least they "support our market" |
|
My dad took me to that Worcester show when I was 13 or so.
I remember the horrified look on his face when the ejaculating dildo came out. |
|
