I've made this thread to inform everyone about what R+ music is around. Most of the titles on the list can be found on youtube or elsewhere on the web.

- Das Modell (cover Kraftwerk)
- Kokain (B-side Das Modell)
- Alter Mann (special version with female vocals) (B-side Das Modell)
- Feuerräder (Engel Fan edition + 2007 bootleg "Kein Engel")
- Wilder Wein (Engel Fan edition + 2007 bootleg "Kein Engel") + enhanced version on the B-side of Amerika
- Halleluja (B-side Links 234 / Mutter limited edition)
- Pet Semetary (B-side Ich Will, cover Ramones, live performance with Flake doing vocals)

- Vergiss uns nicht (B-side Mein Land)
- Mein Herz Brennt - piano version
- Gib Mir Deine Augen (B-side Mein Herz Brennt – piano version)
- Los [full band version] (non-accoustic, longer version of the song with even extra verses; was only released on the "XXI - The Vinyl Box Set")
Unreleased demos
- Jeder lacht (unreleased 1994 demo - some of its lyrics were reused for Adios. There's the Saalfeld version and a short 01:44 version)
- Schwarzes Glas (unreleased 1994 demo; There's also a 1996 version with the Eifersucht riff, different electronic parts and different lyrics)
- Eisenmann (unreleased 2007 (?) - by some unofficials claimed to be a left-over from the Rosenrot period. It apeared online in the end of 2010 as a result of an unsuccesfull demo trade, as claimed by unofficials)
- [Biest] (officially untitled track - A bootlegger dubbed this song as "Biest". Most fans postulate that this is an early demo of Tier due to the similarities in the lyrics during the chorus. The overall meaning of the song differs however)
- Hallelujah (Demo Halleluja [note the removal of the letter 'h' in the finalized track name] This demo version differs a bit from the actual in that it doesn't have an ambient effect during the intro section, and that the bass line in the last verse is different. The demo version (Hallelujah) was featured in the Resident Evil official soundtrack and also made an appearance as a secret track after a few minutes of silence at the end of the Japanese edition of "Mutter".)
Early and alternative versions
HERZELEID (mostly from the studio demos 1994)
- Bringer (demo Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen; even after the demo fase, this song turned up on setlists under this name)
- Fleisch (demo Weisses Fleisch)
- Der Riecher (demo Du Riechst So Gut)
- Demo Seemann / Komm in mein Boot (one of the demos is much longer than the end version and includes a verse section with whistling for vocals)
- Hallo, Hallo [version 1] (demo Das Alte Leid, also known under the title "New Industries")
- Hallo, Hallo [version 2] (demo Das Alte Leid, much closer to the final version) (a demo of Rammstein and Laichzeit can also be found, but they resemble the final version very much)
- Demo Heirate Mich / Kinski (the structure of the song is quite different and the main riff is not the same)
- Demo Alter Mann / Die Zeit / Das Wasser soll dein Spiegel sein (with very different keyboards, much slower and longer with more riffs; Till sings in a very low parlando-voice)
- Blutige Risse (alternative version of Feuerräder)
Note: several of these songs had English versions that were never released. Sometimes some show up on the web (like "Matrose", an English version of Seemann)
SEHNSUCHT (Mostly from live demos 1995 - 1996)
- Afrika / Sehnsucht (1995 version of Sehnsucht with less keyboards, lyrics about 50% similar to the final song and a different structure)
- Sehnsucht - 1996 version (early version of Sehnsucht with similar lyrics, though different structure, chorus, keyboards etc.)
- Engel (English version) (aka Angel in the booklet – US version of Sehnsucht)
- Demo Du Hast (it exists and sometimes apears on the web, but most leaks of it are quickly removed by music labels / managements due to violation of author rights)
- Du Hast (English version) (aka You Hate in the booklet – US version of Sehnsucht)
- Demo Spiel Mit Mir (this had different live versions in 1996)
- Ich was mit dir (Demo version of Spiel mit mir. Different lyrics and they used the Sonne riff in the chorus)
MUTTER (from live demos 2000)
- Sandmann (demo Mein Herz Brennt)
- Links (demo Links 2-3-4)
- Mein Herz schlägt links (other Demo version of "Links 2-3-4". It has different lyrics and a Reggae-like guitar part)
- Die Geburt (demo version of 5/4)
- Klitschko / Der Boxer (Sonne demo - In this version, the first chorus consists only of a count up to 10, without the lyrics "Hier kommt die Sonne"; It was planned as entrance music for the boxer Wladimir Klitschko)
- Punk (Demo version of Feuer frei! . Different lyrics: „Es brennt, getadelt wird wer Schmerzen kennt“)
- Demo Mutter (only difference being the last word of the song. Till says "Oh gib mir Gift!" instead of "Oh gib mir Kraft!")
- Mutter [orchester version] (The Orchester Version of Mutter was played as outro during the 2002 Mutter tour. It's probably a track of the rejected "Mutter Orchester Album")
- Demo Spieluhr (with slightly different lyrics mostly in the chorus)
- Flake-Blues (demo of Zwitter)
- Demo Rein raus
- Tod hat ein Gesicht (demo Adios, with much darker lyrics)
- Letzter Kuss (Demo version of Nebel. It has the guitar riff of "Ein Lied")
- Demo Ohne Dich (from the year 2000; It is said that the song sounded much like the 'Beta version' on the Ohne dich single)
- Ohne Dich [orchester version] (An orchestral version of Ohne dich was played as an outro during some LIFAD concerts)
- Schwula (demo version of Mann gegen Mann already from the Mutter era)
REISE REISE / ROSENROT STUDIO DEMOS (2002 - 2004)
- Demo Benzin (without vocals, more rhytmic keyboards)
- Student (other demo Benzin. Paul stated this song was the demo version of "Benzin".
First verse or chorus was "Alle bleiben stehen, alle wollen es sehen") - Absynth (Unreleased track. Flake uses a software synthesizer from Native Instruments called "Absynth"; this demo might be older, but the first mention of it was shortly after the Reise, Reise period. On the web some tracks can be found with this name containing aspects of Benzin)
- Spring weiter / Spring Jungle (Part "Spring demo", part unreleased song)
- Demo Stirb nicht vor mir (unfinished, with alternative lyrics, without female vocals and entirely in german; dates from the Mutter period. Next to this demo there should also be a version with Bobo who sings the English parts in German, but except for Flake’s mentioning in an interview there’s nothing to prove its existence. Flake once mentioned also that an alternative version of the song would be released.)
- Ankarra (Demo version of "Zerstören". It seems to be a speech with a music box in the background (like the ending of the final song)
- Hin und her (unsurfaced track; could be a demo or working title of Hilf Mir)
- Holz / Ahorn (unreleased track)
- Ich bin (demo version of Te Quiero Puta; with German lyrics. The chorus would be: „Ich bin ergeben, so ergeben“)
- Sonntag bei Omi (Unreleased song. Could refer to Lindemann's Messer poem"Großmutter".
Paul mentioned a song which is too heavy and gross - even for a Rammstein release. He might’ve been referring to this one)
