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.
I hope to follow them next year for a few festival shows in Europe.
I am suprised they never released a video, maybe because it wasn't a "new" song ? Who knows.
How lucky some people are to party with Richard and be in dressing rooms.
And I think it's logic this tour is smaller than the LIFAD one. It's after all "only" a greatest hits tour, so there's nothing new to offer. In essence it's some revival of the old glory and many bands choose to not extend something like that (like Metallica, Guns N' Roses and Iron Maiden).
The economical crisis is worst than ever, more countries, the euro is in danger too. We are fucked.
"only"? OMG, how could you say that? It's "the best" all in one.
If that it's so, how do you explain that "small tour in the USA"? They tour all the country, hadn't done like that before, full stage and big arenas, maybe because after MSG they saw the market wasn't closed for them, so we are talking about money again.
I can also confirm the Asian plans too while chatting with Paul Landers in his dressing room after the show in Worcester, I also asked if they had plans to tour Australia too but he said no.

We could talk during hours....
With "only" (on purpose highlighted) I don't say the quality is less (on the contrary, a greatest hits should in many respects be the best set list ever), but it's not new, it's all done in some form or another (although R+ succeeds in many ways to make something new out of it) and it's something many bands and critics don't see as a very essential part of their career. It's more like a thank you to the fans combined with a chance for many people to see some of the older classic stuff as well. And that's exactly why I think they extended their US tour: that audience didn't have much opportunity in the past to see all those classic songs. This tour is therefore the perfect opportunity to catch up with their US fans!

I got it, I even copy the "", in their case, I think it was epic, , maybe not essential for their career. But I disagree, of course they thank their base fan in USA, but most of all, they want new fans.
I watched Volkerball last night, i used to watch it at least once a week, i wont say i am tired of it but i yearn for some new material, of course we would all much prefer a live DVD of the MIG tour but i would settle for LIFAD, it would be better than nothing....its been far too long since the release of Volkerball and lets face it as Maya said if they have been filmed then what a thorough waste of money not to release it. Oh please let it be true and we have some new material for Christmas
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" !!
I think their pause taking is very legit, but I'm not so happy about their pr. I mean, they could give the fans more official information than we have now. I mean certain things are kind of confirmed (Live DVD, European tour in 2013, new MHB single, asian tour), but that the band doesn't publish that information on an official basis (through their site) bothers me a bit. As long as they don't do that, I'm not so sure about anything. I'm just saying: I know other bands that made a videoclip, released their single, but eventually never published the video. And some bands have tons of gigs filmed but never put it into a DVD. Not to be a stormcrow here ...
But so far the band never disapointed me, so I'm looking on the bright side . Let that christmas present come!

^On the other hand, they render fansites useful, since they actually publish such information and rumors, whereas the oficial site doesn't.
"Which is better, eternal happiness or a ham sandwich? It would appear that eternal happiness is better, but this is really not so! After all, nothing is better than eternal happiness, and a ham sandwich is certainly better than nothing. Therefore a ham sandwich is better than eternal happiness."
Sure? You can't, they have changed their plans before, nothing is sure until they publish it. Like the video, I was thrilled with Eugenio Recuenco's video and now there's another one directed by Zoran Bihac.What means that? No fucking idea, we could discuss it during hours, but we'll have to wait. S
@Snake That's a way of seeing it; they could give us more clues....
