I saw them years ago...when I was in high school, so it must have been 9-10 years ago. It was ridiculously over the top with the fire, flaming arrows and fake phallus...but pretty cool I guess.

Didn't they do a song that included chocolate cake recipe for the lyrics?

Here's the skinny on this legend...
"you are talking about d song "Die Eier Von Satan" by Rammstein meaning The Balls of Satan
Lead singer Maynard Keenan wrote this. It sounds kind of ridiculous because it is in German, but once you understand what he wrote it's quite funny and meaningful. The majority of people listening to this song are going to hear a passionate German speaker and an enraptured, cheering crowed, which they will automatically associate to Hitler his many public speeches. The lyrics, however, are nothing but a recipe for a dessert called "The Balls (Eggs) of Satan." Throughout the speech Maynard is heard saying the phrase, "Und kine Eier." Which means " And no eggs." This is where it gets confusing. Eggs actually DO represent the Jewish people. Eggs are an essential baking ingredient because they give the food it's fullness and texture. Historically, the Jews are known to do the same for any culture they integrated themselves into. Without eggs, a recipe is flat, and without Jews, a culture is flat. In the end it is a political statement, knocking Nazism (comparing Hitler's Jewless nation to the Balls of Satan - a recipe which fails without eggs), and a thumb at Americans, who will immediately associate a German speaker to Hitler, even without knowing the text.

Not live but I do have a video with them on it. Much better quality that way. They must be the German version of KISS. Way over the top for sure.
