I'm somewhat doubtful you could beat the Iron Maiden performance I saw

Of course, you can have a good stage show without many theatrics or props... But Dillinger Escape Plan takes the cake there, in my opinion.

I've never seen Rammstien live, but I've heard things, and they sound good. Thier studio work is nu-metal with a nice dose of industrial / electronic influences. Heavy but catchy. I dig it.

Rammstein were formed with the intention to make authentic German music. When they formed, Nu Metal was only in it's infancy in the US. The founding members of Rammstein were all in agreement that the projects they undertook before Rammstein all failed because they had too many American influences.

Rammstein also have no rap, hip-hop or urban traces in their music. They have no MC or DJ. They have none of the heriatage that can be found in Nu Metal music.
Wikipedia defines Nu Metal as:
"Nu metal (standing for "New Urban" Metal, aka aggro metal) is a controversial subgenre of heavy metal music. It sometimes bears some influence from hip-hop, because rhythmic innovation and syncopation are primary. Nu metal bands also feature aggressive vocals (either rapped, shouted, or sung), drop-tuned guitars that are clean or distorted, (with riffing similiar to the Seattle scene of the early 1990's) a funk-based rhythm section, and occassional DJ techniques such as turntables and sampling." Rammstein exibit very few of these hallmarks.

Finally, the Wikipedia entry describes them as:

"Although it cannot really be said that Rammstein stick to any particular genre of music, they are most often described as an industrial band; they are also often associated with heavy metal and hard rock."


Overall, Rammstein are one of the bands that are criminally mis-labeled because their music proliferated at the time that a high-profile music movement reached it's peak. Among their most hardcore fans and it's band members:
