MetalHeart Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I thought there was already a thread for Rammstein, but to my horrorealization, THERE WASN'T! So here it is. (majority of the info taken from Herzeleid.com. Rammstein.com, and rammstein_pimp on LJ) Who is Rammstein? The Story: Rammstein was started by Richard Z. Kruspe-Bernstein. In 1989 he escaped from East Germany over the border between Austria and Hungary. He eventually ended up in West Berlin and started a band in 1993 (Orgasm Death Gimmicks). At that time he was very influenced by American music. After the 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. At this time, Richard lived with Oliver Riedel (of the band The Inchtabokatables) and Christoph Doom Schneider (of Die Firma). Richard realized that the music he had previously made was not right for him. He envisioned something with machines and hard guitars together. The three started working together on a new project. Richard soon found it hard to write music and lyrics at the same time. He got Till to join them as he had often heard him singing while working. A contest for new bands was announced and the prize was studio time. The four of them recorded the first Rammstein demo and won. Paul Landers knew them all and wanted to know what they were doing. After listening, he agreed to join. At this point, all they needed for the machine-sound was a keyboarder. They tried to get Christian "Flake" Lorenz to join, as he had played with Paul before in the band Feeling B. Flake was not entirely thrilled with the idea at first and didn't want to join for a long time. But, he eventually agreed. About the time the band was formed, they all had relationship problems which provided the foundation for their debut album Herzeleid (Heartache) in 1995. Since then, they have reached gold and platinum status for their music and have become Germany's number one music export. The Name: Three Italian air force jets collided on August 28, 1988 at an air show at the US airbase in Ramstein, Germany. About 40 spectators died in the first minutes and several hundred were injured. In the next two months, the death toll rose to 69. In short, it was a disaster. The name was all over the media at the time and just got stuck in their heads. They changed it from Ramstein (with one M) to Rammstein (with two). It is not a real German word, but literally means "Ram-stone". They chose it to provoke and because the meaning seemed to fit their music. Their first song, "Rammstein" was about this tragedy. Rammstein is about to release something I want very badly. No, not their Sea Men! VOELKERBALL!!!!!!!!!! [click the picture to go to the Voelkerball site.

MetalHeart Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Taken from LJ: R+'s plans for 2007/2008Thanks to a poster on Herzie: "In the new METAL HAMMER magazine (http://www.metal-hammer.de/Inhalt.html) there is an interview with Emanuel Filiak about Völkerball and Rammsteins plans for the next year. He said that they want to do the South-America-tour (which was delayed some time ago) in 2007 and that they are invited to some festivals in europe next year. The band will meet in january to plan all this in detail and also talk about a complete new europa-tour. Filiak said they will start recording the new studio album in 2007 and will release it in 2008." (You might remember that the South American dates were the ones cancelled when Flake got the mumps last year (the Asian gigs were cancelled because of Till's knee injury).) For the life of me I can't remember where, but I think I read/heard from at least two different sources that a World Tour was in the works for 2007? USA included?? I hope it wasn't my mind tricking me again!! I HOPE THEY COME TO AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. If they don't I guess I'll just have to go to them! YAR!!

MetalHeart Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Alright, the highly anticipated new album is being released in October, and their first single is..... PUSSY. Got this in my email today: 1st SINGLE "PUSSY" "So take me now, oh don’t you see I can’t get laid in Germany..." After four years of studio-abstinence, the first single of the new album is coming out September 18th! PUSSY! Carried by a gigantic wave of testosterone, Rammstein unsheathes its sword and presents what makes man an animal. So start your engines. With pedal to the metal on the Autobahn of German clichés, where homage is paid to the hand-to-hand battle between the sexes with words like Bratwurst, Blitzkrieg, and Mercedes-Benz... to destinations abroad, past Heidi with her burgers and away from the German Fräuleinwunder. There, pleasure lurks like a yawning abyss... The single is appearing as a 2-track Digipack with the song "Rammlied" as B-side. And look forward to a new video from Jonas Åkerlund, celebrating its premiere September 16th, 10 pm at www.visit-x.net/rammstein! The new album appears in October, but more about that soon. The email also contained this SUPER SAUCY picture. NSFW, but totally safe for your heart-on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
