https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgwVmPPJ2C4 If this seems like a strange choice for the best current live rock/metal act, then you haven't seen German industrial metal powerhouse Rammstein live. Rammstein may be best known to some as "those guys who sing that Du Hast song" but they are far, far more. In a live setting, their theatrics are second to none. Where the likes of Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie or GWAR play up the camp angle, Rammstein just bring an all-out visual and sonic assault, packing enough pyro to blow the roof off the building. Featuring fire-spouting angel wings that dominate the stage, the hammed-up "burning" and repeated slapstick-abuse of their DJ and crowd surfing whilst in a raft, Rammstein's live show is a spectacle to behold from the moment they smash through a wall to take the stage.
