Concert Review: Rammstein (Rosemont, IL - Allstate Arena - May 10, 2011)


It's been a while since I can say I've been so excited for a concert that I'm actually nervous beforehand.  But again, we are talking about a band that is acclaimed as being the best live band in the world right now.  I'm referring to, of course, none other than Germany's premiere industrial metal band, Rammstein. 

The atmosphere of the concert, though, began way before my friend and I made it to the Allstate Arena just outside Chicago.  Drunken grunts of "Rammstein" being yelled just about every other sentence, people acting like they know how to speak German, and just more drunken jibberish were mere samples of my experience on the train and bus rides there.  Don't even get me started on how crazy it got when we actually got into the arena.  Surprisingly, there was an unusual abundance of people in costumes.  This isn't to say I wasn't expecting this, but I was thinking more leather type outfits.  The outfits that I did see there were more along the lines of something you'd see at a Slipknot concert (hell, I even saw a girl dressed up as Rainbow Brite).

Read the rest of the review after the break.
