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.
This probably won't apply to people who despise the song, but a tip for those who don't mind or like Pussy : play it as loud as possible, IMHO it makes the music sound just a tad more powerful and less shitty
I had a hard enough time listening to it the few times I've done it. I don't think playing it louder would help at all. In fact, knowing how much I really don't like it, I'll probably be nitpicky and find more things wrong with it, making me dislike it even more.
Maybe, I don't think it will work for many people. But I find that music always sounds different when it's played at different volumes (and I don't mean it sounds louder or quieter), whatever the song may be
Slightly strange I guess...
No, I think I understand what you mean. Some songs just don't sound right when played at a low volume, and vice versa. I feel that way about certain music sometimes.
If it's any consolation, it's really the only R+ I have problems with. I even have an appreciation for songs like "Herzeleid." (while the music is really repetitive, I like the lyrics, and Till sounds nice on it, especially when he says "Jahre." I'm just like, "BUHHHHH. x_x" xD)
I find songs loose most of their energy and power played at a low volume
When it comes to songs like "Herzeleid" , I tend to only listen to the live version of the song. If it hadn't been played live, I do not think I would like it at all. Although at the moment I have developed a soft spot for the Herzeleid album...
Speaking of jams, I've just been addicted to "Mutter" (the song) this past week. I started to really love it. I saw the music video for it for the first time a couple of days ago, and since then, I've been playing it hardcore. I'm working really hard on trying to memorize the lyrics (which is hard, given that I'm not a native German speaker and don't really have a lot of knowledge on that language at all).
The song is beautiful, my friends were stunned when I explained to them what it was about. I know what you mean, I get funny looks trying to sing in German :') I currently have 2 lines from "Haifisch" stuck in my head....they're not even in the right order
I don't believe I have, no. I'll make a note to YouTube it the first chance I get.
Oh yeah, especially at the key change after Till's all like, "MUTTEEEEEEER." That whole section is my favorite thing right now. <3
Really, it's not memorizing the words that's the problem. It's trying to pronounce them as close to the way German people do as possible. Having listened to so much R+ in so little time, I understand the nuances of German diction, but I sometimes have problems actually doing it. I suppose I do OK for a person who has never even taken a German class before, but I'd like to do better. :/
My mp3 player has about 15 hours playback before it needs charging and I used it all up just playing that song on repeat <3
If you can pronounce or learn any of the words without taking any lessons then that really is something to be proud of =) don't beat yourself up over it
Having lyrics and full translations printed from the Internet helps a lot. I also have a very good friend who is trying to teach me a few things over Facebook Chat.
I really should be quite pleased with my progress thus far. I remember how excited I was when I finally sang through "Reise, Reise" without looking at the lyric sheet.
