Together they sound very good. Together they make the Rammstein sound. Both guitarists summon their ominous, crunchy tones live and in the studio by plugging Mesa Boogie and SansAmp preamps direct into the mixing board. But heavy riffs are only part of Rammstein's aural assault. I think it's interesting that people today are willing to take bits and pieces from all kinds of music and mix them together, but for me the main thing is songwriting.
Most people forget to develop that ability.
Having conquered most of Europe, Rammstein set their sights on a more challenging territory-America. Musicians like the Foo Fighters' David Grohl and the Afghan Whigs' Greg Dulli, who witnessed Rammstein's European festival performances, became outspoken fans and began telling any journalist who would listen about the band. The response was encouraging, and shortly thereafter the band signed a deal with Slash Records. Slash released Sehnsucht stateside last February and Rammstein's manager has been negotiating plans for a full-scale U.S. tour opening for a major headliner. However, few bands have the balls to let a band such as Rammstein take the stage before them, knowing that it's hard to compete with superior fire power.
