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.

  • How and when did you get into rammstein

    I am so bored at work that i have decided to tell you all my story and hope that you are all still awake at the finish lol!
    Back in 2001 my brother and i were at a rock night at our local pub when the DJ played this amazing song.
    Me "who is that"
    My brother "Thats Du Hast by Rammstein"
    Me" Who is Rammstein"
    My brother "A german industrial metal band
    I was totally smitten, my brother then went on to lend me HERZELEID and SEHNSUCHT. i could not stop playing them for weeks, then MUTTER was released and loved it even more.
    It was then that i bought Live aus Berlin and discovered the lush one, omg not only awesome music but gorgeous guitarist as well.
    The rest is history, one and only live concert in 2005 at Brixton and now the proud owner of all the CDs and DVDs to date.
    Are you still awake?
    Motto is i loved the music before the man.
    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" !!

          My dad had it the Mutter album playing in our car, when I was about 10, and I fell in love with Mein herz Brennt, but then he lost the CD so I didn't listen to it again. Then 2 years later, I was in a friend's car and listening to the music, which sounded familiar and half way through Feuer Frei I remembered the name. Went straight home and logged onto youtube. Since then I have been pretty addicted to them and have constantly annoyed my pop-orientated friends by playing their albums on full volume.

          Sorry it's short Maya, but that's all there is to it

          @RBF, February cannot come soon enough, it will be my first concert for any artist..glad that I'm starting with my favourite

            I have always been a metal-head (I'm 50 now) into Metallica, Maiden, Priest, Motorhead etc., and I appreciated (and still do) the theatrical and technical aspects of music (whether it be rock, metal, classical etc). I also secretly liked Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Frankie Goes To Holywood. As I played in metal bands at the time, I always wanted to do music by some of those bands but with added METAL, but never really got it going.

            Then one night, I heard 'Du Hast' at some club back in 1997/8 and this music was what I had been thinking of for a few years!!!

            Next day, I went straight out and bought 'Sehnsucht' and 'Herzeleid', then came 'Mutter' and it totally knocked my head off - still my fave R+ album.
            I always liked Metallica's 'One' and 'Nothing Else Matters' kinda as my fave songs, but now it's Ohne Dich and Rammlied..... or maybe Ich tu Dir Weh.

              OK, so, I'm still really new to them. I've only been listening to them for about a month now. I know, shame on me. It's better late than never, right?

              Anyway, I first heard about them back in my high school days. I had a group of friends who loved that band, and I think they tried to get me into them at some point. I remember them showing me the album artwork for "Sehnsucht" and being really freaked out. (I was a sheltered child growing up, and there was so much that I wasn't used to seeing. It was quite a shock for me at the time.) Honestly, at the time, seeing them like that was enough to scare me away. I feel bad for saying that, but it's true.

              Fast-forward to a couple of years ago. I first heard "Du Hast" when I got "Guitar Hero 5." I thought it was weird at first, but it really grew on me. I think a lot of it had to do with the keyboard ditty that I became obsessed with playing over and over again. I played that song a lot, and I got to where I could almost perfect it. A similar thing happened when "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock" came out (which has "Waidmann's Heil" on it). "Guitar Hero" showed me that they were cool, but I have a huge list of music that I look into, and they were kinda put on the backburner. I finally decided to do so not too long ago on a random whim. I looked up singles from videos on YouTube, loved them, and went to go get their music. I've been listening to them pretty hardcore since then.

                  That was a great moment.

                      Sorry but I thought "WTF, this is a short story" meant that you were against them

                      I know, only just got tickets for it so I might have had to wait even longer!

                        Sure, this is a problem of language. @RBF was asking "Are you still awake?", you ask something like that, when you are telling a long and boring story. So I was expecting at least a long story and I found a short one with lines containing only 4 words, I translate my spanish thoughts like that.

                              I was 10 years old when I heard my big brother listening to some music in his room. I went to see what it was, and the first thing I saw was six almost naked men - he was watching the video of Mann Gegen Mann on his computer. My first reaction was 'wtf!', but after listening for a while I really started to like the music. Later that day I asked him to put all the cd's into my mp3-player, and I seriously fell for their music.

                              And now I've been listening to Rammstein for seven years, and all those years this band has been my favorite one. I've experienced two gigs, and the first one was a real lifechanger!
