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.

Whatever you do may seem insignificant, but it is most important that you do it.
Till Lindemann is the oldest member of the band, and a certified pyrotechnician .
Before joining Rammstein, Till Lindemann worked as a carpenter's apprentice, gallery technician, and basket weaver.
In November 2002, he published a book of poems titled Messer.
His father, Werner Lindemann, was a famous writer and poet in the former GDR (German Democratic Republic).
During adolescence, Lindemann was a competition swimmer, and became European junior champion. Due to bad behavior and a lesion in the abdomen, he left competition in 1979.
Though now the lead singer of Rammstein, Till originally played the role of drummer in the band First Arsch.
In a radio interview in 2004, Lindemann stated that he will leave his musical career at age 50, to spend more time with his children.
In 1994 he joined Rammstein, alongside Christopher Schneider, Richard Kruspe and Oliver Riedel. Together, they competed and won the Berlin Senate Metro contest, which allowed them to record a professional 4 tracks demo.
He was arrested along with Christian "Flake" Lorenz, on June 5, 1999 when the band was performing in Worcester, Massachusetts (USA). This incarceration was due to staging made for the song "Bück Dich ', where they simulated explicit sex with a dildo. They were ordered to pay a fine of $ 25.

^I don't know. I'm not too keen on seeing them having homo-erotic behavior on stage.

Any lead singer or band member that pierces their face to put in an LED light that looks really freakin' awesome when he opens his mouth is totally amazing. I don't know of ANY other band member that has ever done that before!
Till does everything with style! I also think taking an eyebrow piercing at the age of 47 is...surprising and a bit freaky. But yeah, after all, it's Till Lindemann
^Its not freaky. Its just a midlife crises. After the MiG tour is over, the piercing is gone.

That's great - there are all kinds of people on Youtube trying to mimic Till by putting neon lights in their mouths and singing the lyrics to Rammstein songs horribly. It's hilarious.
