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 gotta say, I think you're too much drawn in to the "newer stuff sucks" mentality, just like everyone did with Metallica back when they came out with Load. That's only my opinion though. To me, LIFAD wasn't a sellout album, it was a move towards more heavy metal-oriented music rather than dance-metal like Herzeleid. I thought it was a really good album.

    Songs like "Pussy" fall in with that weird sense of humor the band has, and "Haifisch" has so many meanings if you're willing to take it apart. And complaining about four years between albums? A band doesn't need to churn stuff out to be good.

    Honestly, I think you're just jaded with this album since you've been a fan for so long, but again, that's just how I feel about your original post. If their next album is a step back in the direction of Mutter and Sehnsucht, you just might be suprised.
    It's widely accepted that while dreaming, the subconscious is bringing forth and examining various thoughts from throughout the day. I disagree; I believe that the id is manipulating the subconscious in order to see its fantasies fulfilled. So in this line of reasoning, dreams are not just a random assortment of discarded thoughts, but rather the truest sense of self that we can possibly be.

      ^Thats exactly what I would like to happen. I did notice the move towards more heavy metal-oriented music, but I don't think it was a very brave one. Or even well executed.

        I love the album and I love the way the band take the mick out of themselves in the pussy video, but more so watching pussy live.
        There are historically only two R+ songs I'm not keen on, and they are "Stirb Nicht Vor Mir" (I fucking hate the female vocal), and I've never been sure about "Der Meister", the guitars are great, but the keyboard sounds too much like bloody bagpipes for my liking.

          ^Sharleena Spiteri gets on my tits in that song :/ but I stumbled across a live version of the song which was actually pretty good

          I find Pussy to be a song that is easily remembered. I have one friend who hates metal music (including R+) but knows half of the lyrics of pussy....it's rather amusing when she doesn't realise she's singing it

            Hmm, I actually see Pussy as a quite desperate comeback by Rammstein - imo they should have made their comeback with one of the more powerful songs on LIFAD.. But whatever, done is done :'D And yeah, I somehow hope that Pussy will be replaced with another, better song on the best of-album too :'D

            LOL, I really like Tyler Squirden's post - because it's so true! Some older fans seem to be stuck in the past - everything after Mutter is obviously shit in their opinion xD I personally think it would have been too boring if they still had this kinda "machine" sound - I actually like that their music has evolved and matured into a more "natural" sound ;D Don't get me wrong, I really love Rammstein's old stuff too - but I really love that they've moved along as well Just think of Schneider's drum-work - it seriously has become way more creative (if that's the right word) on their newer albums ;D

            Bagpipes on Der Meister? Wow, I've never heard that one before! xD

              ^I'd rather see them do the same good kind of music over and over again, than to "evolve" to something else that doesn't mean shit to me.

                Well, they probably would have become sick and tired of making the same kinda sound over and over again - and imo, then it actually shows that the band wanted to go in a bit more creative direction And that it doesn't mean shit to you, well, that's your loss - Rammstein do whatever the fuck they want, and you can't change that And if you really hate the "new" Rammstein so much, then I seriously don't get why you're still a fan of them - but I believe that you have your reasons to still be a fan after all Btw, it's a fact that a band can't please all of its fans all the time - so yeah, there will always be someone who's bitching a lot.. Therefore my recommendation would be: Get over it or get a new favourite band :'D

                      ^But them External would have to find a new admin to keep a eye on this forum, and to update the Portuguese version of the site. Which makes it sound less positive.

                          I can safely say I am not one of those people. I don't see why people are always bashing Reise, Reise and Rosenrot :/

                            Every album has it's highlights and lowlights. While Sehnsucht is my favourite album, I sometimes skip Klavier, 'cause of it's irritating vocals in the first refrain.
                            As for LIFAD, I neeeded some time to get used to it. I hated Wiener Blut and B*, now I love them.
                            So my advice to Snake: just listen, listen and listen. Only then you'll understand the beauty in the new albums too!
                            Life is drama... Drama is art.

                                It may sound like that, but it sure helps you to accept new stuff. Like this new forum (brought up in the Deathstars topic), some users may don't like it after the old one, but if they use it every day, they'll get used to it.
                                But that was just a friendly advice.
