During their "Made In Germany European Tour", the path of mighty German industrialists Rammstein led to the Slovenian crime scene once again, their second appearance here (the first was back in 2005). These fellas are uniquely famous for their spectacular live performances, leaving nothing to coincidence. Explosions, fire, lovely multi-colour flames, all kinds of pyrotechnics that you cannot think of, burning people, etc. On the other side they are masters of interpreting love and hate in the way of excessive perversion and bizarreness. All of that combined with a heavy sound of more... (by Abattoir) Read more ›› |

Def Leppard
Before Def Leppard came to the "Battery Studios" to record their album, a church choir used it to record some church hymns. When they left, someone left behind an open breviary, with a hymn that had the words "Rock of Ages". That gave the band the spark to write a song with the same title for their album "Pyromania", which was one of their greatest hits in the USA.
