German industrial metallers RAMMSTEIN have scheduled what appears to be a one-off show in the U.S. — the band's first in 10 years — on December 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

In a recent interview with Seattle Gay News, RAMMSTEIN guitarist Richard Kruspe was asked when fans could expect to see the band perform in America. "Good question," he replied. "Actually, we talked about it today, a lot. What we plan to do right now is a lot of things — we're not 20 anymore, so things have changed for us. At the moment, it looks like America is the only market where we cannot provide the same show as we play in the rest of the world. So we have to be balanced, like, what makes financial sense? One of my dreams is Madison Square Garden — just to play one show and to feel out, like if there is a need for us, are people waiting for us, what can we do, what would be the next step? It can change, nothing is set in stone, nothing is confirmed, but we've talked about what's the best thing, so the fans are happy and the band is happy. But I'm a big supporter of the American market."

RAMMSTEIN's latest album, "Liebe Ist Für Alle Da", sold 22,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 13 on The Billboard 200 chart. Previously, the group's best rank came with its 1998 chart debut, "Sehnsucht", which peaked at No. 45 off the strength of its only U.S. radio chart hit, "Du Hast".

"Liebe Ist Für Alle Da" arrived in stores on October 20, 2009 through a marketing and distribution deal with Vagrant Records and Universal Music Germany. The album was produced by Jacob Hellner and RAMMSTEIN, with recording done at Northern California's Sonoma Mountain Studio. The first single from the 11-track release was "Pussy", which was released as a digital single on September 22, 2009 and accompanied by one of the year's most viral videos.

RAMMSTEIN is:

Till Lindemann - Vocals
Paul Landers - Guitar
Richard Z. Kruspe - Guitar
Oliver Riedel - Bass
Christoph Schneider - Drums
Flake Lorenz - Keyboards

Lady Liberty doesn't bleed dammit! unless it's French....See disclaimer

[Mr. Roboto]

I bet that's a wild ass show.

I'll bet it will be. Godammit - they come to the states and play one show - although I figured that's how it would be. One of my friends and I have been saying that the next time Rammstein comes to the states it will probably be just one show, and that we would go - no matter where. I don't know - NY is along way away. We'll see...I would love to see them!

The shows are all still kind of far away from me. I might consider Illinois, but I don't know. Sure wish they'd do a full tour!

[Timothy]

hopefully these shows do well and the add some more.

[cotis]

I'll be at the Izod one - special show like this, can't turn it down.

Am I a fan? Certainly not - but it will be cool to experience it.

[TAP]

I wouldn't go to the Izod again, even if GNR reformed with Hendrix opening.
