My girlfriend loves the band, has since she was pre-teen. In her eyes, they can do no wrong. To the rest of us, we saw nothing special. The band has been running the same fire-in-the-cauldron schtick with the song Mein Teil for more than a decade, now. Every guitar lick sounds like what other more innovative guitarists were doing decades ago. All of the patches are dated. Just about every song sounds like Til is reciting a bad limerick. And let's not forget that these 60 year olds are still writing deep cerebral music like "Fat Titties". Perhaps, it's time to grow up... or not.
I was told by everyone how amazing the fire show was going to be. Truthfully, l saw KISS in 1996, and it was a far better visual show. And they were consumate professionals.
When you're a teenager acting like a teenager, you are the cool kid. When you're a bald, overweight 60 year old teenager, you're just creepy, dude. The only song, post-concert, that has found its way onto my playlist is "Zeit". You can keep the rest.
