FORUM RULES ABOUT WEB-BASED LINKS TO MUSIC AND VIDEO'S

Based on latest discussions on this forum, and studiing copyright laws, it is necessary to state out new forum mandatory rules, effective immediately, so, here we are.

LINKS TO MUSIC & VIDEOS: what is legal/what is not.
NEW RULES in the forum state:

From now on in our forum users shal NOT POST TOPICS THAT containin the following :
• Requests for or links to MP3s, music videos, or other files of questionable legality
• Bootlegs

So, please do not POST A LINK TO music or videos which does not directly originate from an officially legal site.

An OFFICIALLY LEGAL SITE is: rammstein.com or rammstein.de, universal music, a legitimate music site like MTV or VIVA. The links must be direct and linked only to the approved site. Any links which have copied and transferred the music or videos from an official legal site to ANYWHERE else are NOT OFFICIAL.

• Do not ASK FOR A LINK to music or videos. If there is a legal site for either listening or viewing, xTERNAL will provide the information in the NEWS section of www.RAMMSTEIN-EUROPE.com.

WHAT YOU CAN DO in the forums: You can DISCUSS a new song or a new video.

WHAT YOU CANNOT DO in the forums: provide illegal links or ask for links, give directions of any kind as to where something might be found (examples: file-sharing, other fansites, etc.). Screen caps will be allowed (within reason) AFTER a video has been made available through an OFFICIAL LEGAL LINK. Fan remixes of songs will be allowed (within reason) after the song has been officially released.

The above restrictions are necessary not because we are being “damn babies” or “. The reason is simply that RAMMSTEIN-EUROPE has made the decision to not be a facilitator of illegal activities involving copyrighted material. The reason for that is also clear. Rammstein’s Management has shown aggressive behaviour in combating copyright infringement.

Anyone who violates the spirit of the aforementioned expansion/explanation of what the RULES mean here as applied to music and videos (and this also includes the "making of videos") will meet up with one of the following consequences:

POST BLOCKED, LINK ERASED AND WORSE.... BANNED IF NECESSARY.

If you have ANY questions about what may or may not be acceptable here, you can always PM a Moderator and ask first before posting something that might get you in trouble here.

•any links to www.youtube.com (or other sharing sites of a similar nature)are generally not allowed.
While some videos like fan made items or spoof animations are allowed, we do not allow linking to youtube. Oftentimes there is/are illegal videos of Rammstein performances to the side of the linked videos. Actual Rammstein Videos which are very illegal to be hosted by that site - therefore we cannot allow links to youtube to be allowed.

So, links to youtube are now allowed - ONLY IF it is a fanmade video by you, and does not contain bootleg footage or footage of live performances or released performances. Stills from photos found on the net are OK. A montage is OK. Clips of released footage are NOT OK.

Please try to understand that sometimes while we may allow a certain individuals fanmade videos, and deny another persons it is usually because the content in it could get the forums in trouble.

Also if some individuals post their fanmade video and it turns out to be bootleg footage that they filmed themselves at a concert and consider that "fanmade" - then we will have to reverse the ruling on allowing fanmade videos PERIOD!

Here is an update on what is considered "fanmade".
Fanmade is fanmade. You did it yourself. Like cut and paste. You creatd everything yourself. No footage filmed by someone else no clips. Still images are OK.
For example:
If you go out and find 6 banana slugs in the yard, dress them up in LAB outfits, and put the skinniest one in a paper boat and play the music to SEEMANN on a kazoo. That is fanmade.

If you have a coverband and you do your own video or you have footage of YOUR band's performance. That is fanmade.

If you have images that you sketched of how you think the video for a song should have been and you put it to music - I think we can allow that.

Use your creativity.

IF YOU SEE VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, REPORT IT BY USING THE EXCLAMATION MARK IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF RELEVANT POST.

        • Offcourse Lindemann and Flake are the more inventive parts of the band but saying the guitare department "was never [...] very creative" sounds a bit exaggerated to me ! Songs like Du Riechst So Gut, Stein um Stein, Feuer und Wasser, Liebe ist für alle da (especially the live version), ... have a very unique industrial sound I've never heard elsewhere. Maybe some of the work of Robin Finck or Buckethead comes close, but it's still all miles away from that electronic machinery sound the Rammstein guitars produce.

          • Oh yeah I meant to reply to that too.
            I think Schneider is a kick ass drummer, his technique is very energetic and fitting to the music they play, his improvised live fills are always interesting. He's a tireless monster on stage too from what I've seen.
            Secondly the guitars, being realistic is important here; an undivided part of Rammstein's sound identity is the construction of songs based on one or two guitar riffs only, dunno why that part is suddenly a surprise, it's always been like that. The quality of these guitar riff decide that quality of the song, you can have an average duration of 3 to 4 minutes of these riffs, the challenge is to create riffs strong enough to sustain the duration before the listener reaches boredom. For example I could have done with one less verse in Du Riechst So Gut, the song went on about a minute longer than the music supported. Mein Land is an example opposite to that, they had one great riff, employed it correctly and finished the song just seconds before I get fed up with it. Perfect.
            Second is the aspects of the guitar riffs when functioning mainly as back up to the keyboard melody. Ich Will -and almost all Mutter songs- being a great example of how the guitar riffs complimenting the keyboard melodies so efficiently and helps create this harmonic brilliance, while maintaining the head banging and live energy angle so nicely.
            I dunno who's the creative guitar riff writers of Rammstein. But I'm leaning towards Landers since I found Kruspe's work outside of Rammstein a little dull.

              Both guitarists are very different but equally as important as each other, it is a known fact that if Richard says black then Paul will say white, they have very different ideas but compliment each other beautifully. They are both creative and work together on all riffs and solos.
              The saying is "You dont know what you have got till its gone" the truth is "You know what you had, you just did not know you would lose it" !!

              • That's right. There are no "fillers" in this band.

                They were cool musicians when they started, and they've honed their sound to something quite amazing.
                The 6-way marriage works well. I hope they never divorce.

                • I never said there were fillers in the band. I didn't even said that the other members were frauds (hell, schneider grew up to be a great drummer). I only said that, their true creative minds are Till and Flake, and if Rammstein are were they are nowadays, is mostly due to those 2 members.

                  • Snake, I'm just in the mood to "fangirl".

                    Everyone has their own opinions.

                    • Suche gut gebauten Achtzehn
                      bis Dreißigjährigen zum Schlachten
                      Der Metzgermeister
                      ^ where is this heard? Every written lyrics of Mein Teil including the one in the MiG booklet says that part. I can't find it in the song.

                      Comment


                      • ^Its in the single/videoclip version of the song. If you listen carefully, you can hear that right before the guitars start playing.

                        • Maybe the answer...

                          "At the beginning of the song in the video, the phrase "Suche gut gebauten Achtzehn- bis Dreißigjährigen zum Schlachten – Der Metzgermeister" ("Looking for a well built 18 to 30 year old to be slaughtered - The Master Butcher") is spoken, voiced by Ollie, although the album version of the song does not have this beginning. The quote is taken from an online post by Armin Meiwes."
