I can't get enough of Rainer Landfermann.

00:24 - BornToBeWild666
Anyone there???

00:14 - Guib
@Lit. No, this will only look bad for him. He does not represent every single breathing metalhead in the world

00:13 - Lit.
You guys realize if he runs it into the ground, this'll look bad for the rest of us.

23:56 - Guib
That's so great ! I'm glad for indonesia, not only because of this Metalhead but because he sounds like a good politician.

23:30 - Mr. Doctor
That sounds pretty cool actually.

23:10 - Marcel Hubregtse
