Overview
1.1 Rammstein
For other uses, see Ramstein (disambiguation).
Rammstein (pronounced [am.tan]) is a German Neue
Deutsche Hrte band. Formed in 1994 in Berlin,[1][2]
its members are Till Lindemann (lead vocals), Richard
Z. Kruspe (guitar and backing vocals), Paul H. Landers
(guitar, backing vocals), Oliver Ollie Riedel (bass guitar), Christoph Doom Schneider (drums and electronic
percussion) and Christian Flake Lorenz (keyboards).
Since their formation, Rammstein has had no changes in
their line-up.
The majority of their songs are in German, but they
have also performed songs entirely or partially in
other languages including English, Spanish, French, and
Russian.[3] Rammsteins award-winning live shows are
renowned for their pyrotechnic elements and both onand o-stage theatrics.[4] Rammsteins entire catalogue is
published by Universal Music Group.

History

Founding and Herzeleid (1989-1996)

stein.

Rammstein was founded by guitarist Richard Z. Kruspe.


In 1989, he escaped to West Berlin and started the band
Orgasm Death Gimmicks. At that time, he was heavily inuenced by American music, especially that of
Kiss. After the Berlin Wall came down, he moved back
home to Schwerin, where Till Lindemann worked as a
basket-weaver and played drums in the band First Arsch
(loosely translated as First Ass or First Arse). At this
time, Richard lived with Oliver Riedel, of the band The
Inchtabokatables, and Christoph Doom Schneider (of
Die Firma). Richard had come to the realization that the
music he had previously created did not properly suit him.
He envisioned something that would combine machines
as well as the sound of hard guitars. The three started
working together on a new project in 1994. Richard soon
found it extremely dicult to write both music and lyrics
at the same time and persuaded Lindemann, whom he had
overheard singing while he was working, to join Ramm-

The band was rst titled Rammstein-Flugschau (Rammstein Airshow)[5] after the Ramstein air show disaster in
1988. Guitarist Paul H. Landers said the spelling of Ramstein with the extra M was a mistake.[6] After the band
became popular, the bandmembers denied the connection to the air show disaster and said that their name was
inspired by the giant doorstop-type devices found on old
gates, called Rammsteine.[7] The extra m in the bands
name makes it translate literally as ramming stone.
A contest was held in Berlin for amateur bands in 1994,
the winner of which would receive the opportunity to
record a four-track demo CD in a professional studio.
Kruspe, Schneider, Riedel, and Lindemann entered and
won the contest, which sparked the attention of Paul H.
Landers, who wanted in on the project upon hearing their
demo. To complete their sound, Rammstein then attempted to recruit Christian Flake Lorenz, who had
played with Landers in Feeling B. At rst, Lorenz was

leased on their upcoming live DVD, Live aus Berlin.
Rammstein began to record their rst studio album,
Herzeleid, in March 1995 with producer Jacob Hellner.[8]
They released their rst single "Du riechst so gut" on 17
August and released the album on 24 September 1995.
Later that year, they toured with Clawnger in Warsaw
and Prague. Rammstein headlined a tour of their own
through Germany from 2 December to 22 December consisting of 17 shows, which did much to boost the bands
popularity and establish them as a credible live act. They
went on several tours throughout early 1996, releasing
their second single titled "Seemann" on 8 January of that
year.
On 27 March 1996, Rammstein performed on MTV's
Hanging Out in London, their rst performance in the
UK. Rammsteins rst major boost in popularity outside
Germany came when music director Trent Reznor chose
two Rammstein songs, Heirate mich and "Rammstein",
for David Lynch's lm Lost Highway. The soundtrack for
the lm was released in the U.S. in late 1996 and later
throughout Europe in April 1997.
Rammstein went on to tour through Germany, Austria
and Switzerland from September to October 1996, performing an anniversary concert on 27 September called
100 years of Rammstein. Guests to the concert included Moby, Bobo and The Berlin Session Orchestra,
Berlin director Gert Hof was responsible for the light
show.
Sehnsucht and Live aus Berlin (late 19962000)
Rammstein started recording Sehnsucht in November
1996 at the Temple Studios in Malta.[9] The album was
again produced by Jacob Hellner. "Engel", the rst
single from the album, was released on 1 April 1997
and reached gold status in Germany on 23 May. This
prompted the release of a fan edition of the single, named
Engel - Fan Edition. This contained two previously unreleased songs, Feuerrder and Wilder Wein. Release of the second single from the album Sehnsucht was
"Du hast", which hit the German single charts August
1997 at number 5. Rammstein then continued touring in
the summer while Sehnsucht was released on 22 August
1997. The album reached number 1 in Germany after
two weeks in the charts. Simultaneously, Herzeleid and
both Sehnsucht singles (Du hast and Engel) were in
the Top 20 of the German charts. Rammstein continued
to headline sold out shows throughout Europe in September and October. On 5 December 1997, they embarked
on their rst tour of the United States as the opening act
for KMFDM.
On 2223 August 1998, Rammstein played to over
17,000 fans at the Wuhlheide in Berlin; the biggest show
the band had played there up to that date. Supporting acts
were Danzig, Nina Hagen, Joachim Witt and Alaska.[10]

Rammstein embarked on a live tour with Korn, Ice Cube,


Orgy and Limp Bizkit called the Family Values Tour in
September through to late October 1998. Continuing
their success in the US, Sehnsucht received Gold record
status there on 2 November.
The band was nominated at the MTV European Music
Awards for Best Rock Act and performed Du hast live
on 12 November that year.
Rammstein had further success in 1999, starting o the
year in February with a nomination for Best Metal Performance at the 41st-annual Grammy Awards. A year after
it was lmed, the Live aus Berlin concert was released on
CD on 30 August 1999, with a limited edition double CD
also available. Two weeks after it was released, Live aus
Berlin went to number one in the German Album Charts.
On 13 September and 26 November 1999 the video and
DVD versions of the concert were released respectively.
Further popularity ensued with the inclusion of "Du hast"
in The Matrix: Music from the Motion Picture.
Mutter (20002002)
Rammsteins album Mutter was recorded in the south of
France in May and June 2000, and mixed in Stockholm
in October of that year. During December 2000, Rammstein released an MP3 version of "Links 2-3-4" as a teaser
for their new album.
2001 was a busy year for Rammstein, starting in January
and February with the band playing the Big Day Out festival in Australia and New Zealand. January also heralded the shooting of the video for their upcoming single,
"Sonne", recorded in Potsdam at Babelsberger Filmstudios from 13 to 15 January 2001. The video was released
on 29 January 2001. The single for Sonne was released
on 12 February 2001 in Europe, featuring an instrumental version of the song, two remixes by Clawnger and the
song Adios from the upcoming album.
Mutter was released on 2 April 2001, sparking another
Rammstein tour through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. On 14 May, the second single from the album,
Links 2 3 4, was released, along with a video of the single on 18 May. After a tour throughout Europe in June,
the band then toured the U.S., Canada and Mexico from
June to August 2001.
"Ich will", the third single from the album, was released
on 10 September 2001 and a Tour edition of the Mutter
album (the cover of which is red)[11] was released, featuring alternative artwork and live versions of Ich will,
Links 2 3 4, Sonne and Spieluhr.
From 8 to 12 January 2002, Rammstein traveled to
Prague to participate in a minor scene for the lm xXx.
The band is seen in the opening scene, performing their

In July 2009, the title track Liebe ist fr alle da leaked
onto the internet, along with promotional materials. This
led Universal Music to take action against certain fan
sites.[13][14]
It was conrmed in August 2009 that the new album
would have 11 tracks,[15] and mixing of the album
which was taking place in Stockholm - had been
completed.[16] On September 1, 2009, it was conrmed
on the bands website that "Pussy" would be the rst single
from the album. On the same day, The Gauntlet posted
a promotional video for it. The video also conrmed the
album title, Liebe ist fr alle da. Later, the title was conrmed again in an interview with Paul Landers for RockOne magazine. 46,7
The music video for Pussy was released on September
16, 2009, at 20:30 GMT, released especially for the adult
website Visit-x.[17] The video contains graphic scenes of
male and female nudity as well as women engaging in sexual acts with the band members, although the actual sex
scenes were performed by body doubles.[18] The women
featured in the video are German pornographic stars.[19]
Metal Hammer released an edited version of the video
onto their website.[20] "Ich tu dir weh" was conrmed as
the second single from the album by Landers and Lorenze
in an interview for Radio Eins. Although censorship of
the song in Germany prohibits any advertisement, broadcast or public display, the video to Ich tu dir weh was released on December 21, 2009 on the adult website Visitx, just like the video to Pussy, after advertisement on
the bands ocial German website; it depicts the band
on stage in a similar conguration as on their 2009/10
tour. Any references to the video on the ocial website
have since been deleted. In Europe, the single was released on January 15, 2010, and in the U.S. on January
19, 2010.[21] Like the video Pussy, this video was also
directed by Jonas kerlund. On April 23, 2010, Rammstein released their video "Haisch". Unlike the video
for Ich tu dir weh, it contains more of a narrative rather
than a performance.[22] The single was released during
May and June 2010.[23]

CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW

Rammsteins style has tended to divide critics. New


Zealands Southland Times (December 17, 1999) suggested that Till Lindemanns booming, sub-sonic voice
would send the peasants eeing into their barns and bolting their doors, while the New York Times (January 9,
2005) commented that on the stage, Mr. Lindemann
gave o an air of such brute masculinity and barely contained violence that it seemed that he could have reached
into the crowd, snatched up a fan, and bitten o his head.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic commented that
their blend of industrial noise, grinding metal guitars,
and operatic vocals is staggeringly powerful.[46] We just
push boundaries, said Till Lindemann in an interview
with rock magazine Kerrang!, We cannot help it if people don't like those boundaries being pushed.

1.1.3

Lyrics

Rammstein performing Mein Teil in 2013, one of the tracks from


Reise, Reise. The track is based on the events of The Meiwes
Case.

rot, respectively.[48]
Several of their songs are related to controversial and taboo subjects such as sadomasochism,
homosexuality, intersexuality, incest, pedophilia,
necrophilia, cannibalism, pyromania, religion and sexual
violence. Also several of their songs are allegedly
inspired by real-life events.
These songs include
Rammstein (Ramstein airshow disaster), Mein Teil
(The Meiwes Case), Wiener Blut (Fritzl case) and
Donaukinder (2000 Baia Mare cyanide spill).
Wordplay is a fundamental component of Rammsteins
lyrics. In many instances, the lyrics are phrased in such
a way that they can be interpreted in several ways. The
song Du hast, for example, is a play on the German
marriage vow Willst Du, bis der Tod euch scheidet, treu
ihr sein fr alle Tage? (Will you, until Death separates
you, be faithful to her for the rest of your days?"). In
the song, the traditional armative response, Ja (Yes),
is replaced by its negation Nein (No). The song starts,
in fact, with a play on words: Du... Du hast... Du hast
mich... meaning You have me. This line is often mistaken for You hate me, because in German, there is no
distinction between the pronunciation of Du hasst (you
hate) and Du hast (you have). The pun is later resolved
as the sentence is completed: Du hast mich gefragt/Und
ich hab' nichts gesagt (You [have] asked me/And I [have]
said nothing). Confusingly, the band did also make an
English version of the song named You Hate, which was
not translated directly from Du hast. While many arguments are made about Du hast, it is known that Rammstein used this wording to intentionally mislead the listener and create humour in the song, causing many nonGerman speakers to be confused.

1.1.4 Live performances

Nearly all of Rammsteins songs are in German. However, the band has recorded English songs as well as a
cover of the song "Stripped" (Depeche Mode). In addition, the songs Amerika, Stirb nicht vor mir/Don't Die
Before I Do, and Pussy contain lyrics in English. The
song "Moskau" (Moscow) contains a chorus in Russian,
and Rammstein has not ocial song "Schtiel" (cover of
song ""(Shtil) by russian popular heavy metal
band "Aria") entirely in Russian. "Te quiero puta!" is entirely in Spanish, and the song Frhling in Paris has a
chorus in French. Oliver Riedel commented that German language suits heavy metal music. French might
be the language of love, but German is the language of
anger.[47]
The bands lyrics, as sung by Till Lindemann, are an essential element of their music, and shape the perception
by fans and a wider public. Among other things that are
seen as controversial, Rammstein also refers to classical
German literature, e.g. Johann Wolfgang von Goethes
famous poems Der Erlknig (1778) and Das Heidenrslein (1771) for the songs Dalai Lama and Rosen-

Rammstein are known for their frequent use of pyrotechnics during live performances.

Rammstein have achieved particular fame for their


over-the-top stage show, making such extensive use of
pyrotechnics that fans eventually coined the motto Other
bands play, Rammstein burns!" (a quip at Manowars

1.1. RAMMSTEIN
song Kings of Metal, which states, other bands play,
Manowar kills). Following an accident at the Arena in
Berlin in which some burning decorative parts fell (27
September 1996)[49] the band started using professionals to handle the pyrotechnics. Lindemann subsequently
qualied as a licensed pyrotechnician; he spends entire
songs engulfed head-to-toe in ames. He has suered
multiple burns on his ears, head and arms.

7
level stage, with half the band playing the lower level,
as the other half was placed at the upper. At this tour,
the upper level rose over 2 metres above the stage oor
and had an oval entrance just beneath the drums. At both
sides of the upper level, a special lift made it possible for
the band members to access both stage levels. On the
Liebe ist fr alle da Tour (starting 2009), the new stage
still had a two-level design. This time, however, the upper level only had about half the height as on the previous
tour. Stage entrance was possible by a hydraulic ramp
in the middle of the stage oor. At each end of the upper level, stairs are placed in order to gain access to both
levels.

The heat during live performances is so intense that, on


occasion, people have been carried out of concerts suering from heat exhaustion, and lighting gantries have been
seen glowing red-hot from repeated reball hits. The variety of the pyrotechnics can be seen in a recent concert playlist, which includes such items as "Lycopodium This tour included not only the extensive use of pyrotechMasks, Glitterburst Truss, Pyrostrobes, Comets, nics, but also a massive lighting show, such as the famous

others, Till changed costumes between songs, dressed accordingly for each. For example, in Mein Teil, he was
dressed as a butcher, in Reise, Reise, as a sailor. The
rest of the band each wore their own preferred costume,
but none quite as bizarre as Tills. The bands air for
costumes is evident in their music videos as well as their
live shows. In the Keine Lust video, all members except
Lorenz are dressed in fat suits. In the Amerika video,
all members of the band wear astronaut costumes.

Richard Z. Kruspe,[50]
Their onstage antics have also got them in trouble. During their stint on the American Family Values Tour 1998,
alongside acts such as rapper Ice Cube, Korn, Limp Bizkit
and Orgy, the band was arrested for indecency. In one of
the more infamous moments vocalist Till Lindemann engaged in simulated sodomy with keyboardist Lorenz during their performance of Bck dich in Worcester, Massachusetts. They were subsequently arrested and ned

to appeal the ne, and spent more in legal fees and court
fees than the $25 ne.

1.1.5 Band longevity


Since their formation in 1994, Rammstein has had no
changes in their line-up. Richard Kruspe had said in a Revolver Magazine interview that it is because of the band
respecting each others wishes to take a break; either for

Richard Z. Kruspe,[53]

Members of the band currently have side projects that


they take part in during Rammsteins inactivity. Kruspe
currently fronts the group Emigrate while Till Lindemann
began his project Lindemann, in 2015.

from Berthold Brecht ("Left, 2, 3, 4; left 2,

Controversies

Imagery
The New York Times described Rammsteins music as
a powerful strain of brutally intense rock... bringing
gale-force music and spectacular theatrics together.[54]
The members have not been shy about courting controversy and have periodically attracted condemnation from
morality campaigners. Till and Flakes stage act earned
them a night in jail in June 1999 after a liquid-ejecting
dildo was used in a concert in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Back home in Germany, the band has faced repeated accusations of fascist sympathies because of the dark and
sometimes militaristic imagery of their videos and concerts, including the use of excerpts from the lm Olympia
by Leni Riefenstahl in the video for the Depeche Mode
cover Stripped. MTV Germany studied the lyrics,
talked to the band and came away satised that Rammstein are apolitical; Peter Ruppert, then head of Music
Programming at MTV Germany, stated that the band
aren't in any way connected with any right-wing activities. Such criticism may be unavoidable for a German
band that deals in harsh, militaristic-style imagery.[55]
Their cover of their debut album Herzeleid, released
in Germany in 1995, showed the band members barechested in a style that resembled Strength Through Joy in
the eyes of some critics, who accused the band of trying to
sell themselves as poster boys for the Master Race".[56]
Rammstein have vehemently denied this and said they
want nothing to do with politics or supremacy of any
kind. Lorenz, annoyed by the claim, has remarked it is
just a photo, and should be understood as such. Herzeleid
has since been given a dierent cover in North America, depicting the band members faces. The clip for the
song Amerika shows people from dierent nationalities throughout the video and Rammstein members taking photographs with them at the end of the clip.
The song "Links 2-3-4" (Links being German for left)
was written as a riposte to these claims. Kruspe said:
"'My heart beats on the left, two, three, four'. Its simple. If you want to put us in a political category, we're on
the left side, and thats the reason we made the song.[57]

Lorenz stated that the song was created to show the band
could write a harsh, evil, military-sounding song without
being Nazis.[60]
Relation to violent events
Rammstein were cited in relation to the Columbine High
School massacre in 1999, when a photo of Eric Harris
wearing a Rammstein T-shirt were revealed in his 11th
grade picture and wrote the Rammstein logo on a yearbook he signed.[61] Though there was no evidence to correlate the band and the massacre. In response to the
shooting, the band issued a statement:
The members of Rammstein express their
condolences and sympathy to all aected
by the recent tragic events in Denver. They
wish to make it clear that they have no lyrical
content or political beliefs that could have possibly inuenced such behaviour. Additionally,
members of Rammstein have children of their
own, in whom they continually strive to instill
healthy and non-violent values.[62][63]

Coincidentally, on September 10, 2001, the single and


video clip of Ich will (I Want) was released which portrays the band as bank robbers who want to get a message
across and receiving a Goldene Kamera (Golden Camera) award, a German version of the Emmy award, for
their actions. In the United States, the video clip was
broadcast only late at night after the attacks of September
11, 2001, in New York City although many media ocials and politicians requested the video to be pulled from
broadcast completely.
Following the conclusion of the Beslan school hostage
crisis in Russia in September 2004, the Russian authorities claimed that the terrorists had listened to German
hard rock group Rammstein on personal stereos during
the siege to keep themselves edgy and red up.[64] The
claim has not been independently conrmed.

According to the German online music magazine Band members said this about the issue:

1.1. RAMMSTEIN
Theres been a lot of talk about that, but
if there are radical feelings in people anything
can wake them a painting, a picture, whatever. Its just a coincidence that it happened
to be our music. Its important to think about
what caused them to make their decisions, how
they became animals, not their taste in music.
Whenever something like this happens its like
Okay, lets blame the artist. Such bullshit.
Our music is made to release aggression,
and people listening to it are also needed to
do that, but its not our fault. Should we stop
making hard music because bad people might
like it?
Pekka-Eric Auvinen, the perpetrator of the Jokela school
shooting in November 2007, also included Rammstein
in one of his favorite bands. However, he noted that
the music among other things was not to blame for his
decisions.[65]
Furthermore, Elliot Rodger, the perpetrator of the Isla
Vista killings in May 2014, was also a fan of Rammstein
according to his YouTube records. On a lyric video of
Mein Herz brennt, Rodger wrote: "[G]reat song to listen
to while daydreaming about being a powerful ruler. Even
though Rodger wrote in his manifesto that he wished to
become a dictator and punish all the people who rejected
him, there was no direct link found between the bands
music and the killing spree.[66] Santa Barbara police later
conrmed that Rodgers main motivations were sexual
and social rejection.[67]
Videos
In October 2004, the video for "Mein Teil" (My part)
caused considerable controversy in Germany when it was
released. It takes a darkly comic view of the Armin Meiwes cannibalism case, showing a cross-dressed Schneider
holding the other ve band members on a leash and rolling
around in mud. The controversy did nothing to stop the
single rising to No. 2 in the German charts. Meiwes (who
was convicted of manslaughter in 2004, then retried in
2006 and found guilty of murder)[68] brought a lawsuit in
January 2006 against the band for infringement of rights
to the story.
The bands own views of its image are sanguine; Landers
has said: We like being on the fringes of bad taste.[69]
Christian Flake Lorenz comments: The controversy is
fun, like stealing forbidden fruit. But it serves a purpose.
We like audiences to grapple with our music, and people
have become more receptive.[70]
The video for Pussy was released September 2009. It
features graphic scenes of nudity along with women engaging in sexual activity with body doubles of the band

9
members. It is the third Rammstein video to include
nudity.[71]

Placement on the Index


On November 5, 2009, their sixth studio album,
Liebe ist fr alle da, was placed on the Index of
the Bundesprfstelle fr jugendgefhrdende Medien or
BPjM (Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young
Persons), making it illegal in Germany to make the album
accessible to minors or display it where it can be seen by
people underage, eectively banning it from stores.[72][73]
According to the ocial statement of the BPjM, the depiction of lead guitarist Richard Kruspe holding a woman
wearing only a mask over his knee and lifting his hand to
strike her behind has given cause for oense, as well as
the lyrics to Ich tu dir weh which supposedly assist to
spread dangerous BDSM techniques. Furthermore, the
advisory board has taken into consideration the alleged
promotion of unprotected sexual intercourse in the lyrics
to Pussy. The band, as well as several members of the
German press, reacted with astonishment to the decision.
Keyboardist Christian Lorenz expressed surprise at the
advisory boards parochial sense of art and regretted
their apparent inability to detect irony.[74][75] On November 16, 2009, a stripped down version of Liebe ist fr alle
da was released. As of May 31, 2010, the administrative
court in Cologne has decided to waive the suspensive effect of the inclusion into the Index (case 22 L 1899/09).
The German department deleted the record from the Index on June 1 (Decision No. A 117/10). On June 9, the
band announced on their ocial website that the original
version of the album was already available at their shop
and that a release of the single Ich tu dir weh in Germany was planned in a short period of time. In October
2011, the oending song was removed from the Index by
a court ruling in Cologne.[76]

Purported legal action


In 2010, Rammstein settled out of court against
Apocalyptica's former record label Sony Music Entertainment GmbH as the successor of the by now defunct
aliated label Gun Records for using Rammsteins label
in marketing Apocalypticas 2007 album Worlds Collide,
which featured a duet with singer Lindemann.[77][78]
The legal action apparently did no harm to the relationship
between the bands, since Apocalyptica were seen on stage
with Rammstein during the song Mein Herz brennt in
February 2012 at Hartwall Arena, Helsinki, Finland.

2.1 Till Lindemann

about his problem with alcohol and the diculties of being a father to Till Lindemann when he was a teenager.[6]

Till Lindemann (born 4 January 1963) is a German musician, songwriter, pyrotechnician, actor, and poet. He is
most commonly known as the lead vocalist and frontman
of the German Neue Deutsche Hrte band Rammstein.

In 1978, Lindemann was a participant in the European


Junior Swimming Championships in Florence nishing
11th in the 1500 m freestyle, and seventh in the 400 m
freestyle swimming a time of 4'17"58 was shortlisted to
go to 1980 Olympics in Moscow.[5] Lindemann discontinued his participation in the sport due to an injury.[7]
According to Lindemann, I never liked the sport school
actually, it was very intense. But as a child you don't
object.[1] Lindemann later worked as an apprentice carpenter, a gallery technician, a peat cutter and a basket
weaver.[8] Lindemanns mother had published a letter entitled My son, the frontman of Rammstein, or "Mein
Sohn, der Frontmann von Rammstein" in German, dedicated to Till in 2009.[9]

Lindemann is known for his use of excessive pyrotechnics, stage performances and his baritone voice, and
his specic performance move, known as the The Till
Hammer, as well as his use of lyrics in songs which
have caused controversy, particularly when it comes to
Nazism. Lindemann, along with Rammstein were also
blamed for the Columbine High School massacre. Worldwide, the band has sold over 10 million records, and ve
of their albums have received platinum awards.

Lindemann has been listed among The 50 Greatest Metal


frontmen of all time by Roadrunner Records. He has appeared in some lms as a minor role, and he also has 2.1.2 Career

announced that Lindemann would start a new project with
Peter Tgtgren named "Lindemann".

2.1.1

Biography

Till was born in Leipzig, East Germany, but he grew up in


the village of Wendisch-Rambow near Schwerin (in East
Germany).[1] His father was the childrens poet Werner
Lindemann, and his mother, Brigitte Gitta Hildegard
Lindemann, was a journalist and writer, working for
Norddeutscher Rundfunk from 1992 to 2002, at which
point she retired.[2] Lindemanns parents rst met at a
conference in Bitterfeld in 1959.[3] Lindemann has one
sister, Saskia who is six years younger.[4][2] At age 11
he went to a sports school at the Empor Rostock Sport
Club,[4] and from 1977 to 1980 attended a boarding
school.[4] His parents lived separately for career reasons
after 1975, and divorced when Till was still young.[5]
Till Lindemann lived with his father for a short time, but
the relationship wasn't healthy: in Werner Lindemanns
book, Mike Oldeld im Schaukelstuhl, Werner wrote

Lindemann at a Rammstein show during the song Engel

who released an album titled Saddle Up, and played


one song (Lied von der unruhevollen Jugend) with
a punk band called Feeling B (which was the former
band of Rammstein members Paul H. Landers, Christoph
Doom Schneider and Christian Flake Lorenz).[10]
During his time in Feeling B, he played the bass guitar in the band.[10] In the 1990s, Lindemann began to

write lyrics. In 1994, the band entered and won a contest in Berlin that allowed them to record a four track
demo professionally. When questioned as to why Rammstein was named after the Ramstein air show disaster,[11]
he said he viewed images of the incident on television,
and that he and the band mates wanted to make a musical memorial.[12] Lindemann then moved to Berlin. During Rammsteins early years, because of his use of overthe-top pyrotechnics, Lindemann has burned his ears,
hair and arms.[13] Band mate Christoph Schneider commented, Till gets burned all the time, but he likes the
pain.[13] An incident in September 1996 caused a section of the bands set to burn, and as a result, Lindemann got his certication in pyrotechnics so the band
could perform with pyrotechnics more safely than it had
previously.[8][14]
During Rammsteins US tour with Korn in 1998, Till and
his band mate Christian Flake Lorenz were arrested
in Worcester, Massachusetts for lewd conduct performed
during their song "Bck Dich", which consisted of Lindemann using a liquid squirting dildo and simulating anal
sex on Lorenz.[15] Both Lindemann and Lorenz were released the following day after bail was met.[15] This incident did not stop Lindemann from performing in the same
manner for future shows outside the United States, particularly in Australia when they performed at the 2011 Big
Day Out,[16] but the United States performances of this
song were changed into a sadomasochistic theme that did
not feature dildos. In 1999, the band was blamed for the
1999 Columbine massacre, which they denied their music
was a factor.[17][18] In November 2002, Lindemanns poetry book Messer was published. It consists of 54 poems
compiled by Gert Hof, the author of the book Rammstein and was the bands pyrodesigner for the last seven
years.[19] In July 2010, Lindemann, along with Flake, was
interviewed by heavy metal anthropologist Sam Dunn for
the VH1 Classic series Metal Evolution, on the topic of
shock rock.[20]

him while riding a Segway PT.[21] This injury caused
several tour dates in Asia to be cancelled.[21] In 2005,
ve Rammstein albums received platinum awards and the
band also received the World Sales Awards for over 10
million sold copies worldwide.[22] During the lming of
the bands music video for "Ich tu dir weh", Lindemann
wanted a light put in his mouth to create a visually stunning eect.[23] Band mate Paul Landers suggested that he
use a esh colored wire and run it along his cheek to shine
a light into his mouth from the outside.[23] Lindemann refused, and instead opted to have a surgical incision in his
left cheek, so that a light could be fed into his mouth directly, and largely out of sight.[23][24]
There is a specic performance move of Lindemanns,
dubbed The Till Hammer. This move is where he bends
his knees, beats one st o his thigh in a hammering motion while turning his head from side to side. On occasion,
Flake has been seen to parody the move on-stage. Unlike
most band frontmen, Lindemann stated in an interview
that he does not like being looked at while on stage, where
he would wear sunglasses.[25] The main purpose to the
bands signature pyrotechnics has also been stated to actually be a tool in thwarting the audiences attention away
from Till; whilst doubling as a spectacle for the audience.
Till also opts to look at the back to the mixing booth,
or does hand gestures during guitar solos to distract the
audience from looking directly at him. Due to his onstage anxiety, Lindemann usually asks his band mates to
use a rubber dinghy to crowd surf during shows, as it
gets the audiences attention away from the stage for several minutes at a time.[26] In 2011, Roadrunner Records
listed Till Lindemann at number 50 of The 50 Greatest
Metal frontmen of all time.[27] In 2013, Lindemanns second poetry book, In stillen Nchten was published.[28] He
commented on the poetry, saying The vast majority of
my poems could have been written a few hundred years
earlier.[28] On his 52nd birthday (4 January 2015), it was
announced that Lindemann would start a new project with
Peter Tgtgren named "Lindemann".[29][30][31] The band

Skills In Pills.[32]
Film and television

Two songs from the album Herzeleid were used in David


Lynch's 1997 lm, Lost Highway.[33] Lindemann has also
played minor roles in some lms, appearing with his
bandmate Christoph Schneider as musicians in the 1999
lm Pola X,[34] playing a character named Viktor in the
childrens comedy lm Amundsen der Pinguin (2003),
and also appearing as an animal rights activist in the 2004

2.2.1 Biography
Early life
Christoph Schneider was born on 11 May 1966 in
Pankow, East Berlin, East Germany. He has one sister,
who is two years younger than him.
Schneider left the extended secondary school at age 16
and went on to work as a telecommunications assistant.
In 1984, he served his national service with the East German Army; he is the only member of Rammstein to have
served in the military.[1]

2.2. CHRISTOPH SCHNEIDER


Career

Current touring kit

Christophs parents wanted him to learn an instrument,


so they sent him to a special music school connected to
a Pioneers orchestra, where he was oered the choice
between trumpet, clarinet and trombone, out of which
he chose the trumpet rst because it was the easiest to
play. He describes himself as very talented at playing the
trumpet, and after a year he got into the orchestra and
played concerts. It was here he became interested in playing the drums: he was impressed by the equipment and
kept looking over his shoulder at the drumset while playing. He told his parents he wanted to learn to play the
drums, but they weren't supportive of the idea because
they were both from the classical world. He would go
home and practice with sticks and built his own drum set
with tin cans and buckets. He bought his rst drumkit at
age 14, after which his parents had to accept it and let
him rehearse and take lessons.[2]
In 1985, Schneider quit his telecommunication job to
pursue his musical ambitions by studying music at university, but failed to get into university twice,[1] being rejected because he possessed no other musical skills such
as playing the piano. He continued to learn to play himself.[2] Schneider tried consistently from 1985 until 1990
to get into bands as a drummer, nally being successful
with Die Firma.
In 1994, he joined Richard Kruspe and Oliver Riedel in
forming an early version of Rammstein. After Till Lindemann joined the band, they entered the Berlin Senate Metrobeat contest, winning the chance to record a
professional demo with four tracks.[1] A previous band
of Schneiders, Feeling B, provided two other members
of Rammstein, Paul Landers and keyboardist Christian
Lorenz.

Personal life
The nickname Doom comes from the video game of
the same name. Schneider needed a name for the German copyright agency, but found there were too many
Christoph Schneiders already. Paul Landers suggested
the name Doom because they liked the game. Schneider has said that if he knew that name would be on every record he played on he would have chosen a dierent
one.[2]
His favourite rock bands are Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin,
Motrhead, Black Sabbath and AC/DC.[2]

demonstration. He was hit on the head and arrested just
for being there, and thrown in jail for six days. Once
out of jail, he decided to leave East Germany. Because
of the Eastern Bloc, he entered West Germany through
Hungary. When the Berlin Wall came down, he moved
back east of Berlin, Germany.

Rammstein was formed back in 1994 when Richard, who

Wittenberge, 24 June 1967) is a German musician
and guitarist of the German Neue Deutsche Hrte
band Rammstein, as well as the frontman of the band 2.3.3 Personal life
Emigrate.

2.3.1

Early life

Richard Zven Kruspe was born in Wittenberge, East Germany. He was originally given the name Zven Kruspe, but
changed his name to Richard under the belief that everyone should be able to change their name. He has two older
sisters and an older brother (Gordon Kruspe). His parents
divorced when he was young. His mother remarried, but
he did not get along with his stepfather. They moved to
the village of Weisen when he was young. Because of
the poor relationship with his step-father, Kruspe often
ran away from home in his early teens and slept on park
benches. He later got into wrestling as a way to channel
his anger.
At the age of sixteen, Kruspe and some friends visited
Czechoslovakia, where he bought a guitar. He had originally planned to sell it, because they were very expensive and thought he could make a nice prot. However,
once he returned to East Germany, a girl at a campground
he was staying at asked him to play. He told her that
he couldn't play, but she kept insisting, and Kruspe got
mad and started strumming the strings. The harder I
played, Richard said, the more excited she got. Something clicked in my head and I realized girls like guys who
play guitars. This got him interested in playing the guitar, and as a result, he began playing every day and night
for the next two years.

2.3.2

He has a daughter, Khira Li Lindemann (born 28 February 1991). Her last name is Lindemann because her
mother was previously married to Rammstein lead singer
Till Lindemann. Khiras mother kept the last name Lindemann when she divorced. Later, she and Rammstein
guitarist Richard Kruspe had Khira. The two never married, leaving Khira with the last name of Lindemann.

Career

Kruspe married South African actress Caron Bernstein on


29 October 1999. The ceremony was Jewish and Kruspe
composed the music for it. He took on the name Richard
Kruspe-Bernstein during their marriage. Sometime in
2001, he moved from Berlin to New York to live closer
to his now ex-wife Caron. They separated in 2004. His
name is now back to its original Kruspe as the divorce
was nalized. In 2011 he left New York because it is
not the right environment for the next part of my life
and moved back to Berlin.[2] It was also at this time that
Richard announced he was becoming a father for the third
time.

In 1989, bored with the apathetic music scene in his


hometown, he moved to East Berlin and lived on Lychener Strae and made music all day. For two years,
Richard lived in an apartment with a drum kit and a guitar, and he made music by himself because he did not
know anybody there. It was a lonely time according to His son Merlin Esra Besson was born on 10 December

mother is Margaux Bossieux, bassist of the all-girl NY
punk band Dirty Mary. According to his ex-wife Caron,
one of the reasons for their divorce was an aair between Kruspe and Bossieux, her best friend at the time.[3]
Bossieux was involved in the recording of Emigrates debut album. She and Kruspe seem to have had an on-again,
o-again relationship over the years.
He speaks uent English and sings in English for
Emigrate. His favorite bands are Kiss, Black Sabbath,
Big Black, AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Suicidal Tendencies, Pantera, and Depeche Mode.

Quotes and interview

On the separation rumours

Music career

We never wanted to, but after Mutter we had some difcult times because the third album is the most dicult
one and we had a lot of pressure on us. We also had our
dierences between the group members and everyones
expectations were dierent. We took a year to rest, and
after that we realized that we wanted to be together and
to go on.

In 1983, Paul Landers formed the East German punk


band, Feeling B, together with Flake Lorenz and Aljoscha
Rompe, in which Christoph Schneider would later also
play. In 1986, Landers formed First Arsch with Till Lindemann and Richard Kruspe. He also played in a number
of other bands including Die Firma and Die Magdalene

Flake squatted/lived in an apartment with Paul during


their early years. When they weren't playing gigs, Landers and Flake would sell jackets made from cut-up bed
sheets and dusters on the black market. Two jackets
a month meant as much money as an average salaried
worker. It was quite easy to make a living; not to work
and stay out of trouble, says Landers, You only got
problems if you were caught.
The group disbanded in the mid-1990s. On special occasions, the band members would get together for individual
concerts at punk festivals, until Rompe died in November
2000 of an asthma attack.

3.2 Rammstein demos


In 1994, Rammstein released some demos that are currently very rare. Some are original songs and some are
also demos that became songs on Rammsteins rst album, Herzeleid. These are the most well known demos
found across the internet.[1]

CHAPTER 3. DISCOGRAPHY

3.2.1 Herzeleid studio demos (1994)


Der Riecher (The Smeller - Du riechst so gut
demo)
Hallo, hallo (Version 1)" (Hello, hello - Das alte
Leid demo. This demo appeared on Rammsteins
demo tapes and a various artists promo CD titled
New Industries)
Hallo, hallo (Version 2)" (Hello, hello - Das alte
Leid demo. This version is much closer to the nal
version of Das alte Leid, and was released ocially
by Rammstein)
Fleisch (Flesh - Weies Fleisch demo)
Rammstein (Rammstein - Rammstein demo.
One version appeared on all of the 1994 demo tapes
(4-track 6-track and 8-track) and another was featured on a various artists promo CD titled Time for
a cut, which was released later that year.)
Seemann (Seaman - Seemann demo. It is longer
than the nal version and includes a verse section
with whistling for vocals)
Schwarzes Glas (Black Glass - original track. Guitar ri also used in Der Meister)
Jeder lacht (Everyones Laughing - original, some
of its lyrics were reused in Adios. This track
appeared only on Rammsteins much rarer 8-track
demo tape. Only the rst 1:40 were leaked onto the
internet to the public)
Die Zeit (The Time - Alter Mann demo. The
only known version can briey be heard in a 1994
video titled Achtung, wir kommen!" (only second
part of 1st verse and chorus). This version of Alter
Mann had slower tempo, harder guitars and drums
and more synth sounds and eects (choir, strings
and something like distorted square wave). In studio
demo synths mixed bit rough and out of time, unlike
live 1994 version)

3.2.2 Herzeleid live demos (1994)


Feuerrder (Wheels Of Fire - 1994 original live
demo, with the instruments directly recorded and
remixed. This makes it sound like a studio demo.
It is released on the single Engel (Fan edition)" and
it also appeared on the 2007 bootleg Kein Engel.)
Wilder Wein (Wild Wine - original. This demo
was ocially released and is indeed a live demo,

Laichzeit (Spawning-time - Laichzeit demo)
Bringer (Bringer - Wollt Ihr Das Bett In Flammen
Sehen?" demo. Rammstein continued to use the title
Bringer in set lists for shows after the demo period.)
Die Zeit (The Time - Live Alter Mann demo.
Commonly referred to as Das Wasser soll dein
Spiegel sein. Full version of 1994 demo with correct synths)

3.2.3

Sehnsucht live demos (1995-1997)

Afrika (Africa - Sehnsucht demo performed live


in late 1995 as 'Afrika', and early 1996 as 'Sehnsucht'.)
Spiel mit mir (Play With Me - Spiel Mit Mir
demo from Sehnsucht performed live throughout
1996. Also had dierent versions when played live.)

Rein, raus (In, out - Rein, raus demo)


Adios (Adios - Adios demo with much darker
lyrics.)
Klitschko (Klitschko - Sonne demo. In this version, the rst chorus consists only of a count up to
10, without the lyrics Hier kommt die Sonne.)
Spieluhr (Music box - Spieluhr demo with
slightly dierent lyrics mostly in the chorus.)
Mutter (Mother - Mutter demo with the only difference being the last word of the song. Till says Oh
gib mir Gift!" instead of Oh gib mir Kraft!".)
Sandmann (Sandman - Mein Herz Brennt demo
with alternate lyrics)
Links (Left - Links 2-3-4 demo)
Ohne dich (Without you - Ohne dich demo. This
was the only song that was not captured by the tape
recorder. It is said that the song sounded much like
the 'Beta version' on the Ohne dich single. The song
itself only appeared on the album after Mutter.)

Bestrafe mich (Punish Me - Bestrafe Mich demo


from Sehnsucht performed live throughout 1996.
Sounds like album version, but with dierent synth 3.2.5
bridge.)
Alter Mann (Old Man - Alter Mann demo from
Sehnsucht performed live throughout 1996. Unlike
1994 version this same as album version, but had
another synth eects, another bridge, longer synth
intro)
Schwarzes Glas (Black Glass - original track. This
version is used guitar ri and keyboard samples
from Eifersucht, but main ri and vocals from
1994 demo. Lyrics are dierent.)
Du Hast (You Have - First live performance was
in Amesterdam, Melkweg. The songs structure is
longer, and Till in the last choruses he sings An instead of In.)

Mutter/Reise Reise/Rosenrot studio


demos (2000-2004)

This section covers all three albums from 'Mutter' to


'Rosenrot' inclusive, since the songs for all of the given
albums were realized and demoed in a parallel fashion.
Many songs on the two albums after Mutter were taken
from the selection of Mutter songs that didn't make the
cut initially.
Hallelujah (Hallelujah - Demo version of Halleluja (note the removal of the letter 'h' in the nalized track name). This demo version diers a
bit from the actual in that it doesn't have an ambient eect during the intro section, and that the bass
line in the last verse is dierent. The nal version
of the song (Halleluja) appeared the bands single
CD titled Links 2-3-4, whereas the demo version

32

CHAPTER 3. DISCOGRAPHY
(Hallelujah) was featured in the Resident Evil ocial soundtrack and also made an appearance as a
secret track after a few minutes of silence at the end
of the Japanese edition of Mutter. Halleluja also
appeared on the 2007 bootleg Kein Engel.

Eisenmann (Ironman - Original music/lyrics. This


demo leaked into the general circulation on the internet near the end of 2010, as a result of an unsuccessful demo trade.)
Stirb nicht vor mir (Don't Die Before I Do - Demo
version of Stirb nicht vor mir (Don't Die Before
I Do)" from "Rosenrot". This version had altered
lyrics, entirely in German, and had no female vocals. This track leaked onto the internet in 2008 and
is actually an unnished recording of the song that
was made during the Mutter era.)
Ohne dich (Without you - Beta version of Ohne
Dich that was ocially included in the single of the
same name. Although the song (and its single) belong to the Reise, Reise LP group, this beta version was actually recorded during the Mutter sessions.)

3.2.6

Liebe ist fr alle da studio demos


(2007-2009)

These were found on a 9-Track demo CD:

Donaukinder (Children of Danube Beta version of


Donaukinder. Sounds like the nal version, yet
mixed a bit dierently and lacks a guitar solo.)
Mein Land (Instrumental) (My land - Instrumental
demo of Mein Land. This is the earliest demo version known.)
Mein Land (Demo Version) (My land - Another
demo of Mein Land, with keyboard solo)
Mein Land (Beta Version) (My land - Mein Land
beta version, leaked around mid-2011)
Sirene (Version 1) (Sirens - early demo version of
Gib mir deine Augen with completely dierent
lyrics in the verses.)
Sirene (Version 2) (Sirens - early demo version of
Gib mir deine Augen with completely dierent
lyrics in the verses.)
Sirene (Version 2 Extended) (Sirens - early demo
version of Gib mir deine Augen with completely
dierent lyrics in the verses. In this version, the piano outro which has been removed in Version 2 returns.)
Gib mir deine Augen (Instrumental) (Give me your
eyes - Instrumental demo of Gib mir deine Augen,
with an all new bridge, something that the Sirene
demo lacked.)

Donaukinder (Children of Danube - Instrumental


demo of Donaukinder)

Gib mir deine Augen (Give me your eyes - demo of


Gib mir deine Augen)

Legion (Legion - Ich tu dir weh demo which uses


the bridge that appears in the nal version as a ller
section for two verses.)

Pussy (Pussy - Another demo of Pussy. Same


lyrics as Panterra, over an instrumental that sounds
more like the nal version of the track.)

Augen zu (Eyes - Liebe ist fr alle da demo with


some of the verse lyrics being from Wiener Blut)

Seid bereit (Be ready - Wiener Blut beta version


with a harder synthesizer chorus mix, piano sound
intro and slap bass in the second verse. Not to
be confused with the early Mutter recording Seid
bereit, which is a song about dancing vampires)

Panterra (Pantera - Full English version of Pussy


sung to the instrumental track that was later used for
Gib mir deine Augen.)
Ramm-Mix (Ramm-Mix - Rammlied demo with
no lyrics for the verses.)
Roter Sand (Red sand - Demo version of Roter
Sand)
Waidmann (Hunter - Waidmanns Heil Instrumental Demo)
Was ich liebe (What I love. Original lyrics about one
person killing everything he loves. Music is an early
version of Pussy.)
These demos were leaked and appear to be unnished
versions from the recording sessions of the album:

Ich tu dir weh (Version 1) (I cause you pain - A demo


of Ich tu dir weh after Legion)
Ich tu dir weh (Version 2) (I cause you pain - The last
demo of Ich tu dir weh, with an almost completed
sound.)
Mehr (More - Mehr demo, in which lead singer
Till Lindemann performs medium growls at the beginning.)
Rammlied (Ramm-song - Rammlied demo, without any of the orchestral strings or choirs)
Waidmanns Heil (Hunters Salute - Waidmanns
Heil demo, with extra lyrics in the bridge)

Frhling in Paris (Spring in Paris - Frhling in

Demo version of

Haisch (Shark - Haisch demo version)


Halt (Stop - Halt demo, with alternate intro)
Liebe ist fr alle da (Love is there for everyone Liebe ist fr alle da beta version. Close to the nal
version, apart from the shorter solo.)
Fhre mich (Lead me - Fhre mich demo)
Some demos didn't make it into the 2009 albums release,
but may or have appear(ed) in later singles, compilations
or other albums. These demos were still, however, made
during the LIFAD recording sessions.

The direct translation of Herzeleid is heartache"; however, according to an interview on Talking Metals podcast in 2007, Richard Kruspe stated that it doesn't translate to Heartache, but in the German language, it simply
means heartbreak. The album is a culmination of the
relationship troubles of all but one of the six band members, hence the title Herzeleid.

nibal song), which helped to boost it to second place in
the German music charts after its release in early August
2004. Remixes of the song were done by Arthur Baker
and the Pet Shop Boys. At the beginning of the song in
the video, the phrase Suche gut gebauten Achtzehn- bis
Dreiigjhrigen zum Schlachten Der Metzgermeister
(Looking for a well built 18 to 30-year-old to be slaughtered The Master Butcher) is spoken, voiced by Ollie,
although the album version of the song does not have this
beginning. The quote is taken from an online post by
Armin Meiwes.
Ohne dich (Without You) is a power ballad. It is seen
as expressing mourning over the loss of a loved person.
It follows a slow, even romantic ballad style. The central motif is Without you, I cannot be..., With you, I am
alone also...

Till Lindemann (pictured) stated several times that "Mein Teil"


was inspired by the Armin Meiwes's situation.

The album revels in the type of paradoxical, multifaceted existentialism which comes second nature to Germans but is persistently untranslatable to Americans and
it opens with the track Reise Reise which means journey, journey, and we are immediately put on notice that
this particular journey will be a grim and harrowing one,
leavened by German existentialism in the grand tradition
of Mann and Goethe.[4] The references to Goethe come
in Dalai Lama, a modern version of Goethes poem
"Der Erlknig", set in an aeroplane rather than on a horse;
the title is a reference to the 14th Dalai Lama's fear of
ying. The song Amerika deals with the worldwide inuence of the culture of the United States of America.
The songs two verses are sung in German with a chorus in English: We're all living in Amerika, Amerika
ist wunderbar, We're all living in Amerika, Amerika,
Amerika. The band views it as a satirical commentary
on Americanization, and it features mentions of CocaCola, Mickey Mouse, and Santa Claus.

Los is a German sux meaning "-less (as in meaningless), but it is also an adjective meaning o or loose,
and when used as a command it means go!". The track
itself is reminiscent of Depeche Modes early work, with
repetitive acoustic guitar and a stripped-down, insistent
beat.[4] The album ends with the track Amour, one of
the most intimate love songs written by the band. In
the context of a disc lled with the imagery of great
black gaps in the fabric of human rationality, Rammstein
somehow manage to make honest and sincere romance
seem just slightly alien, and tinted with enough melancholy to satisfy the heartiest emo-kid. Theres also a guitar solo towards the end, another uncharacteristic gesture
in the album.[4]

4.4.3 Release and artwork


On the U.S. release, the "easter egg" fragment is placed
at the beginning of Reise, Reise in normal playback.
The 2005 pressing does not contain the easter egg, but
the original 2004 pressing does. On the European version
the easter egg is in negative time, to access it, you must
rewind the CD past the beginning of Reise, Reise. The
American iTunes version of Reise, Reise also contains
the easter egg. On April 21, 2005, Rammstein released
a special Japanese version of Reise, Reise, with dierent cover art, which was later used as the Rosenrot cover
art, though slightly altered. The booklet also features the
same art as Rosenrot, but with the songs from Reise, Reise.
The easter egg is not present in negative time as it is on the
European version. It features two bonus tracks: Mein
Teil (You Are What You Eat Edit)" and Amerika (Digital Hardcore Mix)". The Japanese Limited Edition has a
bonus DVD featuring footage from Lichtspielhaus. The
Japanese Limited Edition was re-issued in 2009 as SHMCD and DVD edition, featuring the original orange cover
art.

The song Mein Teil is about Armin Meiwes, a man


who achieved international notoriety for killing and eating a voluntary victim whom he had found via the Internet. After Meiwes and the victim jointly attempted to eat
the victims severed penis, Meiwes killed his victim and
proceeded to eat a large amount of his esh. Because of
his acts, Meiwes is also known as the Rotenburg Cannibal
or Der Metzgermeister (The Master Butcher).[5] According to Rammsteins bassist Oliver Riedel, the song came
about after one of our members brought a newspaper
to rehearsal and it had a story about the cannibal guy in
it. We were fascinated, shocked and amused at the same
time. Vocalist Till Lindemann stated, Its so sick that
it becomes fascinating and there just has to be a song The album artwork shows a damaged aeroplane cockpit

Recorder, Do Not Open. The inner part of the Digipak


edition case shows a picture of the six members in suits
wielding suitcases and weapons (like Michael Douglas in
Falling Down) leaving from a crashed aeroplane. The
cover art is an allusion to the song Dalai Lama, which
deals with an aeroplane accident. It is also suggestive of
the overarching travelling theme of the album. While
past albums have all featured the six band members in
various photographic scenarios, Reise Reise features a
minimal packaging, and there are no photographs featuring the bands members.[4]

Commercial performance
The album sold 26,716 copies in the United States in its
rst week of release in November 2004 to debut at position no. 61 on The Billboard 200 chart.[3] It was in the top
ten in several European charts and reached number one
hit in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Iceland, Finland,
Estonia and Mexico. As of February 2006, the album
has shipped 1.5 million copies globally.[1]

4.6 ''Liebe ist fr alle da''


Liebe ist fr alle da (German for Love is for
everyone[10] ) is the sixth studio album by German Neue
Deutsche Hrte band Rammstein, which was released in
most of Europe on October 16, 2009, the United Kingdom on October 19, 2009 and the United States on October 20, 2009.[11]

In July 2009, a promo version of the title track, Liebe ist


fr alle da, leaked onto the internet, along with various
promotional materials.
As of October 16, 2009, pictures taken throughout the
recording of the album are available on Rammstein's ofcial website.
The album was released on October 16, 2009 in Europe
and October 20 in the U.S.[14] It became platinum in Finland before its release, solely from pre-release sales.[15]
It debuted at number 3 in the French charts,[16] making
it Rammsteins most commercially successful album in
France to date. Furthermore, the album entered at number 13 on the US charts, making it Rammsteins highestcharting album in the United States, although it subsequently fell o the US albums chart after four weeks. In
Germany, the album entered the charts at number 1 after the best start of a music album in 2009[17] and beating popular German R&B-singer Xavier Naidoo's new album Alles kann besser werden. It remained high in the
charts until it was censored.
According to Richard Z. Kruspe, B********" does not
stand for Bastard, but for Bckstab", a word made up
by the band to mean whatever you want.[18]
Paul H. Landers stated that tracks which did not make it
on the album would appear as B-sides on singles and that
there would be a special edition of the album with ve
bonus tracks.
The song Frhling in Paris features lyrics from the song
"Non, je ne regrette rien" by Edith Piaf.
On November 8, 2009, Rammstein played their rst show
for their Liebe ist fr alle da tour in Lisbon, Portugal,
their rst live show in four years.
As announced,[19] a video was shot for the albums third
single, "Haisch", which premiered on the bands MySpace page on April 23, 2010.
Waidmanns Heil is a playable track in the rhythm video
game Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.[20][21]
In 2013, the song Fhre mich was featured in Lars von
Trier's lm Nymphomaniac.[22]

4.6.2 Censorship
4.6.1

History

The album title was conrmed on September 1, 2009,


in a promotional video[12] for the new single, "Pussy", released on September 18, 2009 in the European Union and
September 19, 2009 in the United States. The singles Bside is Rammlied.[13]
The video for Pussy was released on adult website VisitX, two days before the single. The video features scenes
of explicit male and female nudity as well as the band
members (played by body doubles in the nude scenes) engaging in sexual activity with women.

The album was added to the index of the Bundesprfstelle


fr jugendgefhrdende Medien (Federal Department for
Media Harmful to Young Persons) in Germany, due to
the track "Ich tu dir weh" and a picture inside the album booklet displaying Richard Kruspe spanking a nude
woman.[23] This means only adults can purchase the album; additionally, it must not be displayed in stores
where minors have access (see BPjM for details).[24] As
a consequence, the album was re-released in Germany
on November 16 in an edited version without the censored track and picture.[25][26] The band still played the
instrumental version song live in Germany until it was ul-

4.6. ''LIEBE IST FR ALLE DA''


timately banned from live performances.
Despite the censorship, the video to Ich tu dir weh was
released on December 21, 2009, on adult website VisitX, just like the video to Pussy, after advertisement on
the bands ocial German website. Any references have
since been deleted, presumably following German law
prohibiting advertisement for media on the index. In Europe, a single was released on February 5, 2010, and in
the UK on February 15, 2010.[27]

3. The songs title is a play on the homophones du hasst
(you hate) and du hast (you have).

6.4.1

Overview

There are two versions of the song: the original version


completely in German, and a second version partially in
English (found on special editions of the Sehnsucht album). In the second version, the rst chorus and the
verses are in English and the last chorus is in German.
The English lyrics are not a direct translation of the German; the original lyrics use the German homophones
haben (to have) and hassen (to hate). When conjugated
in the second person singular form (i.e. you), the verbs
haben and hassen become respectively hast and hasst;
there is no phonetic dierence between these two words.

6.4.2

Live performances

The rst known performance of the song dates from 15


May 1997 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.[1] Over the
years, several stunts have been used during the live performances of Du Hast, ranging from the dildo used in
"Bck Dich", to the bow used in "Du Riechst So Gut".
In their Reise, Reise and Liebe ist fr Alle Da tour, ames
shoot several feet into the air and Till Lindemann red
with a dierent bow into the air, starting a chain reaction that red rockets over the audience. Being a fan
favourite, it has been played in almost every concert
to date since its initial performance. When performed
live, the intro is always a bit longer than in the studio
version.[2][3][4]

pair of goggles. The goggles known as Schlitzbrille
were shown again in the music video for Ohne dich.

6.6.2 Live story


The song was rst performed during the very rst Rammstein show, on April 14, 1994 in Leipzig, Germany.[1] A
fan favorite, it was used as the last song of the show during
many of the Herzeleid tour concerts. During live concerts
in the Sehnsucht tour, Till usually simulated ring rockets
over the audience with a bow (actually propelled sitting
on a string) and then the bow started to propel sparks in
all directions as Till rotated it. During some concerts,
he used it during dierent songs, like Laichzeit at the
Bizarre Festival in 1997, or Du hast, during the Family
Values tour in 1998. Guitarists Paul and Richard would
conduct the audience during the extended solo. The song
wasn't played at all during the whole 2001-2002 Mutter
tour, but it returned to the setlists on their Reise, Reise
tour. This time, Richard and Paul wore jackets that shot
ames/sparks from one of their sleeves, running from the
shoulder down to their forearms;[2] one would stand facing away from the audience, the other would stand facing
the audience, and then the pyrotechnics would be activated simultaneously while the two performed the tapping
hammer on solo.[3] After being dropped for the Liebe Ist
Fr Alle Da tour in 2009, the song returned to the setlist
on the 2010 part of the tour, and the song was occasionally performed with the pyrotechnic jackets, however this
time it was done with both guitarists facing the audience.

6.9 Sonne
"Sonne" (German for "Sun") is a song by the German
Neue Deutsche Hrte group Rammstein. It was the rst
single released from the album Mutter. According to Till
Lindemann, the song was originally written as an entrance
song for the boxer Vitali Klitschko, whose surname was
also the working title of the song.[1]

6.9.1

Music video

The video features the band as dwarves mining gold for


Snow White. Apparently, this came about while several of the band members were watching the old Disney
lm Snow White, and had Sonne playing in the background, giving them the idea for the video. Also (as told
by Paul in the Making Of Sonne video) the video came
out of a video Olliver (bassist) did mixing the Sonne
song and parts of the Snow White movie with his computer. The band supposedly went through nearly 40 different ideas for the video, such as the story of a boxer,
before choosing the Snow White theme. One of the other
ideas was a video about the dropping of the atomic bomb
on Hiroshima (which would have matched the lyrics and
the depressed-sounding vocalization). Lady Snow-White
(German "Schneewittchen") is played by the Russian soap
actress Joulia Stepanova (Yulia Stepanova). There is also
an extended version, which is longer and has more scenes

The song has become a regular feature on the Moroccan


Desert Race, the Tuareg Rally. As the German organisers
play it at loud volume each morning at 06.00 across the
race hotel to awaken the competitors.
The female vocals in the song Sonne are samples
(called Lamenting 6, 7, 8, and 10) from the music
library Symphony of Voices by Spectrasonics.[3] Paul
Romero also used the lamenting samples in the 1999
game Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor.
This sample may be heard in the outside Ambient
Music. They can also be heard in the Australian TV
series Underbelly.
Hardcore producer and DJ Angerst samples the
Rammstein song in his track Criminally Insane,
from his album Pissin' Razorbladez,[4] using the
outro of the original song where the vocal sample
is used.
Metalcore band Caliban and Schlager/ traditional
Volksmusik singer Heino have done a cover.
Some viral videos have a song called "Hitler" by an
unknown band erroneously identied as Rammstein
which fuses the melody to Sonne with incoherent
potentially pro-Nazi lyrics. There are many grammatical errors in the lyrics.[5]

6.9.3 Live story


It debuted as Klitschko on 16 April 2000. The song was
very dierent from the nal version released in Mutter.
Sonne was also played in some concerts of the Big Day
Out festival 2001, and those concerts were the only time
the third verse of the song was sung. When played live,
the band usually omits the nal stanza, and instead they
play a slightly longer intro and outro. Theatrical ames
shoot several feet into the air when Rammstein plays the
song. Since May 2001, Sonne has been played paired
with "Ich Will" during the encores in most Rammstein
concerts to date, this has been changed however since
2009.

CHAPTER 6. SINGLES

6.10.1 Overview
The lyrics were written in response to allegations of
fascism/nazism directed at the band. In the song they say
my heart beats to the left, 2-3-4, insinuating they are
on the left of the political spectrum. The refrain is an allusion to the revolutionary song Einheitsfrontlied, written
by Bertolt Brecht for the Communist Party of Germany
in the 1930s and re-popularized by Hannes Wader in the
German Democratic Republic.[1]

6.10.3 Live story


The song debuted live in April 2000 on a concert just
for members of the fan club. Then it was called simply
Links and had some minor dierences compared to the
nal version released in Mutter. It was also played during
some concerts of Big Day Out 2001. When played live,
it usually extends to almost 5 minutes because of added
instrumentals. Since its debut, it has been played in virtually every Rammstein concert, exceptions being most
of the shows in Big Day Out 2001 and three consecutive
concerts exclusively for members of the Fan Area in October 2004.

Along with Nebel, Ich will was the only song from
Mutter that was not played live in its demo form in the
concert for members of the Fan Area on April 2000. Instead, it debuted on May 1, 2001, in another concert for
members of the Fan Area. When played live, explosions
are part of the performance, and it usually closes the show
during festivals. It has been played paired with Sonne
during the encores in every Rammstein concert up until Made in Germany 19952011 (tour), where Sonne
opened the show while Ich will maintained its position

6.12.1 Overview
The song was conrmed by Till Lindemann and Richard
Kruspe to be a reference to their unhappy childhood relationships with their own mothers. The lyrics tell the story
of a child not born from a womb but in an experiment,
thus having no true father or mother. The lyrics describe
his plan to kill both the mother who never gave birth
to him and himself, a plan which he proceeds to carry
out. However, he still fails to kill himself, instead ending up mutilated and no better o than before. The child
begs, possibly prays, for strength, but his dead mother
does not answer. The narrative of the song is similar to
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, in that the character takes
revenge for his misfortunes on his 'parent', and then ends
up no dierent from before the 'parent' died.
The video for Mutter follows the storyline of the song,
whereby the character kills his mother and then dumps
her body in a river, ending with the character in a cage or
dungeon that is set into the ground.
The single includes 5/4, a song in quintuple meter that is
instrumental except for a Speak & Spell dialogue sample
that was played as the intro for live shows since 2000, but
wasn't released until 2002.

6.14 Mein Teil


Mein Teil (German: My share, My part or slang for
My penis) is the rst single by the German industrial
metal band Rammstein from their fourth album Reise,
Reise. The song is inspired by the case of Armin Meiwes
and Bernd Jrgen Armando Brandes. In March 2001, in
Rotenburg an der Fulda, the two men aged in their 40s
met each other, cut o and cooked Brandes penis and
consumed it together. Afterwards, Meiwes killed Brandes with Brandes permission and ate his remains.
As a result, Meiwes was sentenced to eight-and-a-half
years in jail for manslaughter, but was later charged with
murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

as a blood-stained chef holding a microphone with a large
butchers knife attached to the end. Keyboardist Christian
Flake Lorenz appears in the pot, with metal cylinders
attached to his arms and legs, and plays the keyboard
during the song. After the second chorus, Till takes a

Rammstein. It was released in September 2004 as the
second single from their album Reise, Reise.

CHAPTER 6. SINGLES

Content

The song deals with the worldwide inuence of the


culture of the United States of America. The two verses
are sung in German with a chorus in Denglisch: We're all
living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar, We're all living in Amerika, Amerika, Amerika and We're all living in
Amerika, coca cola, sometimes war. The band views it as
a satirical commentary on Americanization, and the lyrics
refer to such things considered American as Coca-Cola,
Santa Claus, Wonderbra and Mickey Mouse.

6.15.2

Video

The video shows the band in Apollo-era space suits on the


Moon, with shots of other cultures acting like stereotypical Americans and some using American-owned products such as cigarettes, with the assertion that American culture is everywhere. The high-tech Apollo scenes
are intercut with African, and Australian Aborigine tribal
footage as a stark cultural contrast. The end of the video
shows that the band have actually been in a fake Moon
set in a studio,[1] complete with lm crew, an allusion
to Apollo moon landing hoax accusations. Till Lindemann, Rammsteins lead singer, wears a space suit with
the name Armstrong on it, a reference to Neil Armstrong. The video ends with a band photograph left behind on the moons surface while the recording of Jack
Swigert's quote Houston, we've had a problem here is
being played.

6.15.3

Live performance

As with every song from Reise, Reise (except Ohne


Dich), Amerika debuted live in three consecutive concerts for members of the Rammstein fan club. During
the live performances of this song on tour, Flake is often seen riding around on a Segway PT with confetti cannons ring red, white and blue confetti in a parody of
a ticker-tape parade. It was the last song of the bands
main set, and was played at every concert of the Reise,
Reise tour. During a concert in Gothenburg, Sweden on
July 30, 2005, frontman Till Lindemann suered a knee
injury when keyboardist Flake accidentally ran into him
with the Segway PT; this caused concerts scheduled in
Asia to be cancelled.

6.16 Ohne dich


For the Christina Strmer song, see Ohne dich (Christina
Strmer song).
"Ohne dich" (English: Without You) is a power ballad
by German band Rammstein from the album Reise, Reise.
It can be seen as expressing mourning over the loss of a
loved person. The song was released as the third single
from the album on 22 November 2004 in Germany (peaking at #12), Switzerland and Austria. Other countries releases followed up from that date. It follows a slow, even
romantic ballad style. The central motif is 'Without you,
I cannot be..., With you, I am alone also...'

6.17 Keine Lust


"Keine Lust" is a song by the German band Rammstein.
It was released as a fourth & nal single from the album "Reise, Reise" on 28 February 2005 in Germany,
Austria, and Switzerland as a maxi-single, a limited edition digipak single, a 7 vinyl single, a 12 Vinyl single,
and as a two-track.

Video

The video was lmed in the Kaun Valley and on the


Groglockner in Tyrol, Austria. It shows the band climbing in the mountains when Rammsteins vocalist Till Lindemann falls and gets badly hurt. The song then ends
while the band sits in the tent and Till, with gangrene
eating away at his injured leg, longingly watches up on a
mountain peak. The music starts again as the band starts
to climb the mountain, carrying Till on their shoulders. In
the end, they reach the mountain peak, Till takes a look
around and dies satised.

6.17.1 Video
In the Keine Lust video, lmed in January 2005 and
nally presented only a month later, the band is morbidly
obese. The lm appears to be a reunion with visibly aged
band members and instruments that are clearly old and
dusty. Out of all of the band members only keyboardist
Flake appeared not to have gained any weight (because
anything he doesn't want to do, he doesn't do, which
includes eating). He arrives in a motorized wheelchair,
just in time to play the keyboard part. At the end of the
video, the rest of the band leaves, abandoning Flake who
has managed to stand during the song and now cannot sit
back down (or walk).
The video was up for a nomination for the MTV Europe
Music Awards in November 2005.

It was then played in the non-festival concerts until the
end of the tour, but this time without any pyrotechnics.
However, as of the Liebe Ist Fr Alle Da tour, Benzin has
returned to being performed with pyrotechnics, including
a amethrower disguised as a petrol pump. By the end of
the song Till Lindemann uses it to set a 'fan' on re, who
runs through the stage until the song is over.

The video portrays the band as travelling monks from different religious orders who have come to a small village,
Fundata (nearby Braov), Romania. The main story of
the video shows the bands vocalist Till Lindemann falling
in love with one of the local girls, whom he met during a
celebratory feast. At her request, he enters her house and
murders her parents. As he leaves the house, he smiles
to the girl and she smiles back briey, before crying out,
at which the villagers rush upon Till from the darkness
and beat him. They tie him up and burn him on a stake;
Tills fellow monks and his lover participate in the execution by throwing burning brands onto the woodpile. The
girl in the video is portrayed by Romanian model Ctlina
Lavric, who was 14 at the time of shooting.

Full lyrics of this song at MetroLyrics

6.19 Rosenrot
"Rosenrot" (German for Rose-red) is a song and single
from the album of the same name by the German band
Rammstein.
The Rosenrot track was highly anticipated by fans of
Rammstein, as it was rst hailed in February 2004 to be
the rst single from the bands fourth studio album, Reise,
Reise (the song "Mein Teil" took the honour instead).
In the end, Rosenrot didn't even make the tracklist of
Reise, Reise, a move that the bands management claimed
left them speechless.

The plot partially mirrors the songs lyrics: in both the


video and the song, a man is asked to commit a selfdestructive yet pointless act by his lover, and dies in the
attempt while she is unharmed. In the video the man
commits murder and is executed; in the song he attempts
to retrieve a rose from a mountain, and falls - Both fall
down (Beide fallen in den Grund) - to his death .

The video premiered on 2 February 2006, on MTV Germany and was directed by Jonas kerlund. The video
quite clearly conveys images of a homosexual nature. The
band members in the video are almost entirely naked,
aside from frontman Till Lindemann. Till is dressed
in long black hair extensions, and feminine high heeled
boots that go part way up his thighs. He also wears a set
of black latex briefs. The rest of the band members wear
only black army boots, and their instruments cover their
genitals. The video alternates between shots of the band
playing in an open room and a writhing group of naked,
muscular, oiled men.

The music video for Mein Land was lmed on 23


May 2011 at Sycamore Cove State Beach, in Malibu,
California. It was directed by Jonas kerlund, and depicts band members in casual 1960s beach attire. It shows
them having a party while words in Beach Boy-type font
describe the beach party. Near the end of the video, it
cuts to 2012 and shows the band performing at the same
beach, but dressed up industrially with ames shooting
from various things around the stage. During the stage
performance, each band member has face paint similar
to Brandon Lee in the lm The Crow. The music video
was released on 11 November 2011.[4]

6.25 Mein Herz brennt


"Mein Herz brennt" (German for My heart burns) is a
single by German industrial metal band Rammstein. The
song rst appeared as the opening song to the bands third
album Mutter in 2001, and was used as the opening track
for concerts during that era. In 2011 it appeared on the
bands rst greatest hits compilation titled Made in Germany 19952011, being the only song on the album that
at the time of release had not been released as a single or
had a music video.
It was announced on November 22, 2012 that the song
would be released as a single to promote the thenupcoming video collection Videos 19952012.[1][2][3] A
piano version of the song was released as a single on 7
December 2012.
The songs lyrics involve a narrator describing the terrors
of nightmares. The opening line of the songs intro and
chorus (Nun, liebe Kinder, gebt fein Acht. Ich habe euch
etwas mitgebracht, meaning Now, dear children, pay attention. I have brought something for you) is taken from
the 1950s German childrens TV show Das Sandmnnchen (The Little Sandman). Every night the show would
come on and Das Sandmnnchen would tell bedtime stories. This may entail the songs narrator being a darker
version of the title character.

banned Han Chinese migration to Manchuria. In 1681,
the emperor ordered construction of the Willow Palisade,
a barrier beyond which the Chinese were prohibited from
encroaching on Manchu and Mongol lands.[4]

The Soviet Socialist Republics of the later Soviet Union


began such restrictions in 1918, with laws and borders
tightening until even illegal emigration was nearly imposPull factors
sible by 1928.[5] To strengthen this, they set up internal

By the early 1950s, the Soviet approach to controlling

Koreans still manage to illegally emigrate to China.[15]
Other countries with tight emigration restrictions at one
time or another included Angola, Ethiopia, Mozambique,
Somalia, Afghanistan, Burma, Democratic Kampuchea
(Cambodia from 1975-1979), Laos, North Vietnam,
Iraq, South Yemen and Cuba.[16]
