What does /mu/ think of Rammstein? Why did they achieve success outside of Germany whereas most of their peers (Oomph!, Megaherz, etc) never did?
I liked them. My mother introduced them to me, so they will always have a spot in my heart

David Lynch

And Matrix and xXx
They were literally a meme.
In the state of memebands

Being on the Lost Highway soundtrack definitely gave them a boost. They were already all over MTV by the time The Matrix and xXx came out.
"Du Hast" gets knocked for being one of the band's weaker singles but the music video getting regular play on MTV was almost solely responsibly for their popularity in North America.

Are you talking about the abysmal English versions of "Du Hast" and "Engel"? Because those trainslations were pure shit.
