When you want foreign music that rocks, you can't get any better then Rammstein
Watch till 2:10 and you'll be in for a treat that only Rammstein does

Rammstain rocks. I love how daring they are. Need I mention their song Pussy?
By the way, have you seen the Mein Teil live video? If not, check this out.
Rammstein got some insane live concerts.

I have indeed, I have both Live Aus Berlin and Volkerball on DVD, + all the albums. Can't wait for their new live dvd filmed at Madison Square Garden. They are my Fav. band of all time

Rammstein FTW. The song Augen auf by Oomph is okay but I don't really like their other music too much. And there are too many good Northern European metal and gothic rock bands to name.

Also Yann Tiersen is an excellent musician (French). Sorry, I don't know how to embed videos

Just about everything I listen to is foreign to me.

 

[Zac Smith]

Yes, I have taken quite a liking to foreign music.


I like quite a few foreign bands, but oh those crazy languages...

Hahaha
Does it make me stupid that it took me about 10 seconds to realise that Muse could actually be foreign for some people?

Edit for clarity: I am a British one

Not at all, I did the exact same thing

 

[NLS]

I like this one.

I have made a list of concerts I have to attend to before I die.

1) Metallica (might be once they finish their next album
2) Rammstein
3) AC/DC (final tour)

Just hoping i'll be lucky enough to actually get a ticket this time. Last time I was too late and it was sold out.

Gogol Bordello. Intro's a bit quiet.

 

[notimeforlulz]

Q1: Yes
Q2: As follows

1. Slot, Russian
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDNaBulvKgc

Only 1 video because all of their music rocks this hard!

2. Fokofpolisiekar, South African
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MdSh8OGCGw

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eonCPmX8af0

Multi links cause not all of their music is great.

EDIT:
I really like the lyrics they've got in some of their songs, it stems from them growing up with the guilt of apathied in south africa, does not apply to me, but damned awesome lyrics.

From antibiotika:
Aim for my heart!
It pumps wilderness in here too.
I feel like a tourist,
in my own homeland
like a beast in a cage
on antibiotics!

From brand suid afrika:
A landmine of guilt
A one man concentration camp

 

[WinkyTheGreat]

I found out about Wir sind Helden while taking German at Ohio State. Love this stuff

Spoiler

EDIT: Can't believe I forgot about Nightwish

Firstly, the premise of this topic is absurd. We are on the bloody internet. The most famous contributor to this site is Australian. One of the most popular groups of people are Canadian. A great wad of the user base is anything but American. Shape up or ship out.

Secondly:

Gogol Bordello. Intro's a bit quiet.

Except that Gogol Bordello is an American band.

Thirdly:

Behold the Swedish awesomeness that is Graveyard, you ethnocentric bastards:

i can 1-up regarding live aus Berlin, i was there when the thing was recorded, being all of 11 at the time.

It's always hilarious to see Rammsteins marketing play out the way it does, the music and the way of singing is designed to appeal people who speak English(mainly americans) and because what is big in america must be good their popularity here does increase as well.
They were never as popular here as they are abroad, mainly because of nazi accusations which nobody but as really cares about.

What i really like about Rammstein is that because of them irish teens know two things from Germany, Hitler AND Rammstein (and only one of those actually is German).

OT: ehm i really like Joy devision.

Yeah... Well iv gotten a bit into Tyr recently.



And for a good band that may be foreign to you, theres Volbeat.
