Sonny: Okay, I Know I Made A Slight Mistake

Sonny: Okay, I know I made a slight mistake━

Michael: Whatever you're gonna say, save it for 10 seconds.

Sonny: What happens in 10 seconds?

Fredo: Just hang on for another 5 seconds, and know that we've all been there at one point or another.

Sonny: What happens in 5 seconds?

Tom *storming into the room*: SANTINO CORLEONE, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!

Michael + Fredo: That.

Morgernstern

This one always makes me cry so this will probably be typed through a waterfall of tears. 

The percussion effect of this pyro is so damn powerful. You feel it right in the chest even through a screen. So is the wall of sound that the guitarists are creating but for me the highlights here are Till’s quasi operatic vocals and Schneider’s incredible drumming.

I don’t know who Paul is laughing at but it’s precious. Even though there’s so much more to him I can see why he’s sometimes known as Sunshine Paul. 

I give the band most of the of credit and rightfully so as it’s their show but sometimes it’s nice to step back and look at the work of the crew and the lighting here is just breathtaking. The stage looks caught halfway between heaven and hell.

The lyrics are even more poignant when you know that Till is really talking about himself. It breaks my heart every time I remember that and how poor his self image can be. 

Mein Teil

I love the slow sinister walk towards each other before hitting you with that incredible riff.

That cauldron looks so incredibly heavy, I remember Flake saying that he doesn’t know how Till can pull it.

He genuinely looks deranged here.

It always amazes me how much trust and skill it takes for Flake and Till to make this stunt work. I don’t think I could ever trust anyone that much.

It’s strange to see how stripped down this version is compared to later Mein Teil performances. It’s still great but personally of the two on this dvd I prefer the performance in Japan.

Stein um Stein

I’m spending the whole concert claiming every song as my favourite. They can’t all be my favourite of course but this is the ultimate Rammstein dvd for me. Reise Reise era and album are my favourite and as much as I love every album, for me they’ll never produce anything better.

This is a great example of why I love that album so much.Every time I listen to SUS it makes me just as emotional as the first time. It never loses its power.

This is why I love Till as a frontman so much. He uses his whole body to express his emotions. He doesn’t just sing it. He lives it. He seems to become almost possessed by the characters he plays at times. He can be that convincing(Deutschland to name but one example)

That high pitched little sob breaks me.

I love how delicate his movements can be sometimes. 

That screaming guitar will be the end of me. 

Los

It’s such a good feeling when you see bandmembers are having as much as fun as the crowd.

This is one of their songs that’s 100x better live. I like the album version but it’s so discordant that I don’t listen to it as often as I should. Also it’s so much fun watching them come together like this.

I love Flake’s attempt at a Schuhplattler dance. It’s like watching a spider trying to cross an electrified floor.

This is the perfect Fuck You to their critics. I’m so proud of them.

The harmonica part always makes me laugh though I love it. Could they possibly have gotten him a smaller instrument? It looks ridiculous lost in those enormous hands of his. 

Adorable Flake Oli moment. My heart.

I live for Till dominating Flake though sometimes I wish that they’d bring back their Feuerrader routine.

Du Riechst so Gut

If there’s ever a statue of Till I want it to be in this pose. Him standing holding the firebow with one leg raised. I have a thing for hunter/archer Till.

No offence to Prince but I’m always so happy to hear Der Wahnsinn instead of Sexy Motherfucker. That quickly got old for me. 

Synchronised headbanging. More of this please. It looks so powerful when they do it together.

I still think that these are some of Till’s best lyrics.

I love his little bounce.

I don’t have a name for those flame arm thingies but they’re such a great effect.

The zombie pose makes him look genuinely sinister, especially with the way he spits like a hissing cobra. What is it with me and Till expelling saliva? He just does it so well. 

Please never take this song off the setlist or I will cry A lot. Almost as much as the people who are unfortunate enough to have suffered my ramblings here.

Did Sollozzo ever give Tom Hagen his sled back? I need to know!

He was perfect for this role. His final scene was so powerful. One of my favourites from the entire trilogy.

Abe Vigoda as Sal Tessio in THE GODFATHER (1972) and THE GODFATHER PART II (1974)

The Godfather novel aka almost 600 pages of Sonny's enormous dick, Lucy Mancini's 'hoo ha', Michael being a drama Don and everyone bullying Tom.
