We’re celebrating everybody’s favorite German industrialists. Over two decades in their legendary career, it was easy to find 10 Unforgettable Moments from Rammstein.

Rammstein’s live show is one of metal’s greatest spectacles. Going far beyond almost every act in rock history, Rammstein have insane stunts planned for every song in their set, so it’s crazy to look back to 1996 and see how stripped down the band’s stage show used to be. Though Rammstein were still pyromaniacs 21 years ago, their control of the element was still primitive, leading to an accident where a flaming rig fell into the photo pit. From this point onward, Rammstein started hiring professionals to work their pyro, while vocalist Till Lindemann became a licensed pyrotechnician.

During an episode of our signature ‘Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?’ series, Rammstein guitarist Richard Kruspe told us about fleeing East Germany for West Germany as a young man. Kruspe unknowingly found himself in the middle of a political protest and was subsequently arrested in 1989. He was held for six days and even beaten by authorities. Feeling suffocated by his surroundings, Kruspe fled from the East to the West shortly before the Berlin Wall fell.

Ever wonder about the making of Rammstein’s “Keine Lust” music video? The entire band dressed in fat suits with sophisticated prosthetics transforming their faces. You’ll see the making of “Keine Lust” in this Loud List, along with the moment where Lindemann finally got to rip off his mask.
