Rammstein were my gateway in to metal music. I bought the album 'sehnsucht' while I was down in Bath with my dad (he was on a course for environmental health and we stayed in the campus...and I got my first taste of a student union in the summer months lol)...and this was the 2nd track on the album. Rammstein are one band I would love to see before I die...they are meant to (and do, if you watch any of their live dvds) put on an awesome live show. If I had a top 20 bands I've listened to most in my life Rammstein would definitely be in there :)

Monday, August 25, 2008

Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me
