What I love about Rammstein is they don't make complex riffs just for the sake of being complex. Both guitarists are very capable but they just play what sounds heavy and badass. They don't need to prove anything.
The hardest thing about playing their songs is to be accurate. Because of their simplicity mistakes can easily be heard so they are perfect for any begginer. I used to play a lot of their songs while starting out. All in all, nice video dude 🤘🤘
Rammstein has the right idea. Simplicity is the key. But their technicality is making everything work so well together and their stage prescense/performance
They are all easy, BUT to sound a good at Rammstein the guitarists and drums must be extra tight. Thats the secret. Its simillar to ACDC, simple but the gaps, focus and tightness are the challenge.
There's nothing complex about Rammstein riffs, or any of their music. What makes Rammstein special is that all those simple bits put together make a sound that is complex. And as you would expect from a well oiled German machine, timing is precise and they play super tight as a band. I love rock music and bands like Muse and Placebo, Linkin Park and Korn. As good as they are, none are as tight as Rammstein.
@@Candleinchains almost wrote an angry comment cause i mixed the word heavy with hard. Halfway trough my keyboard warrior rampage i realised, maybe i should have read properly trough your comment before responding. Cheers mate
1:03 just iconic from the first second. A perfect match to the movie "Lost Highway" as well. Most of these riffs are instantly recognizable to me, very strong character and overall a remarkable style. One small note though: it is not "Rise Rise", it is "Reise Reise". Also "Du hust" means "you cough", it is called "Du hast" :'D
I noticed their older songs had much more complex riffs. Which are amazing. I guess with time they found ways to make it less complicated and easier for themselves
From the most recent album, I'd say the song with the hardest riff to play would be "Giftig", and then maybe "Angst", but I don't think they're close to their most difficult ever.
Dude get yo titles in order. It’s „Reise Reise“ („Journey Journey“ it’s what sailors tell eachother before a journey, they dont say „Good Journey“ because good journeys have bad and good parts in it).
I could never figure out how to play the song herzelied I know all their songs on guitar I even followed the tabs still sounded off for that reason I say hardest riff
I was surprised Herzeleid wasn't here too. Richard's version of that main riff is a pain to get cause you've gotta mute a string in the middle of it. Paul's is easier once you get the hang of lifting off just your second and fourth fingers to leave the root powerchord.
Can you do the same video about Pain, since Peter Tägtgren from Pain did most of the music for Till in their project "Lindemann". And a lot of Pain riffs like "Trapped" for an example are similar to Rammstein riffs.
