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.

    Another artist who recalls getting resistance initially to covering Depeche Mode is Rammstein guitarist Richard Kruspe. He discovered the synth-pop group while growing in the former East Germany where it was difficult to find records by his favorite bands; nevertheless he became a fan after seeing them perform "People Are People" on TV and, in 1998, he convinced his industrial-metal group to take on Black Celebration's "Stripped." "I even paid them money to do it," he jokes.

    But even once the rest of Rammstein were on board, he had to make a concession with the way the song was recorded. "I remember going into the studio and Till [Lindemann, vocals] was trying to sing 'Stripped down to the bone' and for hours he couldn't get rid of this thick, German accent," Kruspe says. "So we eliminated the 'down to the bone part.'"

    For his part, Lindemann says he has come around to Depeche Mode, save one thing. "They don't have guitars and when you play metal, you want to hear a guitar, so it demands a cover version," he says. "But Depeche Mode are the best band without guitars where it's still working."

      During the writing proces of Reise, Reise, Till had a serious break up with his girlfriend. Three days later he entered the studio with the lyrics of Wo Bist Du?

      The song Benzin is the result of an ongoing demand of Paul Landers. For years he had the title "Benzin" in his head and he kept on irritating Till with it by saying: "Why don't you write a song about gasoline? Eventually Till wrote one.

      Paul doesn't really care for awards. He feels honoured for them, but the little statue they get doesn't interest him too much. In an interview with MTV in 2005 he talks about how some members of the band just give their award away immediately (to friends or relatives), others just leave them unpacked, others install them or hang them up in their bathroom... And if nothing of that works out, there's always ebay, Paul jokes.

          ^Wow, intersting stuff there! Nice found!

          I didn't know the chorus origanlly was sung in a happy, folk-kind of way , as in a jolly sing-along.

            For their first record, the band was asked to put a crossed out swastika on the back of their album, just to openly and explicitly distance themselves from nazism. They refused, as they didn't want to bring up any theme they have nothing to do with.

            In a demo version of Deutschland, they didn't yell "Deutschland" in the chorus but "Mutter". They liked the demo, but they didn't want to release another song called 'Mutter'. Therefore, they asked themseleves why they couldn't call it "Deutschland" instead, and sing about that. This turned out to be difficult, as the rhythm was already quite set, leaving only the possibility for short, concise lyrics. Till did manage it, and the band was very happy with the end result.

              Some new ones I found out:
              • Although conscription (military service) was obligated in East Germany and most european countries, Schneider is the only member of the band who actually did it. The others found ways to get out of it.
              • The "Hallo hallo" in the beginning of Das Alte Leid was originally just Till testing the microphone, like he often did but it usually didn't get recorded. They thought it somehow fit, so they just kept it.

                The "Ich will ficken" was also a not originally intended verse. It was chosen by Till, as they had to fill up the blank they had at this point of the song. They wanted Till to shout something, but they couldn't come up with anything. Finally, Till was asked what he wanted to yell, whatever he wanted, even if it didn't make any sense in the song. And this was what came out.
              • Sometimes, when the setlist is made, the band adds a song which they haven't played in a while. To practice these songs, Flake often goes on youtube to look for live version or rather even the song played by one of the Rammstein cover bands. He then listens to the song several times and tries to play along, until he's back on track.
              • The fluid in Till's dildo that is used for Buck Dich is actually Pernod: it has the right colour and doesn't smell / stick / goes bad and isn't poisonous. In the past they experienced with milk but it went bad very quickly and so gave an awful smell.

                ^ I knew about the pernod, which is sometimes you could see Till squirt the last into his own mouth Wasn't Schneider in the border guards?

                It's fun about Flake using YouTube for older songs.

                  ^Haha, I don't know what service Schneider ended up doing, only that when a few days in advance, when he received his uniform, he really regretted not trying to get out of it somehow. It seems like youngsters in East Germany actually did manage quite often to get out of it, you only had to try hard enough, pull some strings through people you knew etc.

                      • Right after they shot the Sonne video, the band had to get immediately to the airport to be in time for their performance at the Big Day Out-festival in Australia. They washed themselves, but it would've taken days and many showers for them to get rid of all black filth they were covered in after two days of shooting as mineworkers. And that time lacked - only hours after the material was filmed, they had to catch their flight. As a result, they really messed up the plane. Reluctantly, they were accepted on the plane by the crew, which they instantly regretted after seeing how the seats, toilets and everywhere a band member came was covered by black dirt. And to reach Australia, one flight doesn't do the trick, so afterwards they went on yet another flight, which they messed up as well.
                      • Till is often multiple times asked for his plane ticket while boarding and being in the flight. Apparently, as a giant mean-looking, musceled man, it seems like he doesn't really look as someone who would travel in business class.

                          ^^ Poor clean-up crew. They normally only have about 10-15 minutes to make the plane ready for take-off again. I guess they needed a little longer here and so delayed the return-flight

                              It's already a few years old, but for those who don't know it yet: Richard once was guest in Loudwire's Wikipedia: Fact or fiction? to talk about wether the things on Wikipedia are correct or not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By8kfo8qSkQ



                              Only in May 2020, so more or less 6 years after this went viral, did Wikipedia change their pages (at least in English, German and Dutch), based on this video.

                              He might not be the only one about who mistakes are to be found on internet. Till for example claims he's a bit older than Wikipedia says, though he didn't elaborate how old he actually is..
