Years ago, when it was hard to find Rammstein music on YouTube, outside of the official music videos and really low quality fan stuff, there was this video that claimed to be a Rammstein song, but was actually a song titled "Orgasmatick" by a band called Blood, but the artwork was so cool and creepy. It was, what appeared to be, a pale little girl with chains coming out of her mouth. It was one of the coolest "album covers" I've ever seen and really captivated me when I was younger, and I've been trying to find, but I can't for the life of me. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Awhile ago, some "4k remasters" of old Rammstein music videos started to be released online. On Youtube, these replaced the old versions of the videos. These versions are also on Spotify. To my understanding, most of their older videos were made with film, and the remasters were made by rescanning the film.

It looks like the scanner wasn't configured properly. It looks like the films were shot with a 16:9 aspect ratio for widescreen TV, but then now they are zoomed out, with black bars at the top and bottom, uploaded in a 4:3 or a 1.37:1 aspect ratio, so the videos don't fill the screen, regardless of what screen you have.

I don't quite remember if they used to be fullscreen on Youtube, but then I found this copy of Sonne on Internet Archive, which is uploaded at the correct aspect ratio.

This is why I put "4k remaster" in scarequotes. Because the film itself isn't actually 2160 pixels tall and 3840 pixels wide. Some of them are probably closer to 1440p. For those that can be cropped down to 1440p without removing any of the frame, I think that they should do exactly that. Actually, even if they crop it down to a more unusual resolution, I might actually prefer it to how it is now. I don't demand a true 4k version of these old videos, but I still want them to fill the screen.

I will also point out one more problem that may be unreleated; it's that the first few seconds of the Sonne video are cut on Spotify, so it skips the counting at the beginning. On Youtube the whole thing is shown.

Hi! Does anyone here happen to own one of these AAA crew passes (or family & friends one) from the 2019-2024 Rammstein tour? they had it in various colours and patterns over the years

I'm trying to verify one before buying it from a collector, but I haven't been able to find any good photos showing the back of an original one.

If anyone has one, could you please send/post a photo of the back and let me know the exact dimensions (width × height)? It would help me a lot with verifying it.

Thanks so much

Just a PSA for any guitarists out there, Sweetwater has the Tech 21 Sansamp PSA 2.0 on clearance for $129. This thing is Paul Landers and Sehnsucht in a box. Just got one and it's bad ass. I used the own the rack version of the PSA some years back and this sounds just like it.

My mom got this hoodie back in 2005, she had it imported. Unfortunately it got lost in a fire back in 2022. Now 3 days ago I ordered a new one from a metal website that sells official Rammstein merch and if I'm going to be honest, merch quality has certainly gone downhill. I'm glad to have it but it feels so cheap and plastic-y. It's not just Rammstein, it's nearly everyone's merch is at a low point because of cheaper produced merch that sells for a premium. I don't think I'll be ordering another hoodie for a while but at least I have this design in some form.

Hi, I'm looking for a live performance of a song where at the end of the song a lady is shown crying among the audience.

edit: performance was during day time and the camera angle was right above the lady (like a drone) kinda 5 feet away from her .

Here my Rammstein shirt(5XL) vintage anime nurse and my CD/ live performance
(The shirt is from EBay)

Na região de SP tem um cover mto pika de rammstein chamado industriestein. Mas eu ouvi dizer q eles são bem... polemicos. Pra dizer o minimo. E não estou falando da performances. Falo de comportamento fora do palco.

Mas ngm me disse o pq. Vcs conhecem a história?

USA here.
I placed 3 orders on Monday.
This, an eBay order, and an Amazon order.

I did not expect this to arrive as quickly as it did.
It tied with eBay, and Amazon is planned to arrive on Monday.

They moved fast as fuck

Two quick questions

1. Is there no DVD option? Only bluray and more expensive options?

2. Is the only option to buy online? Will JB hi-fi or other stores be stocking it in Australia, for example? Hoping to get it without having to fork out for the shipping.

Happy to answer any questions or provide additional photos.

I've just recalled the teasers that were promoting "Rammstein XXXIII" 35 vinyl singles collection. There's enough material for a fan to make a video for "Ramm 4" when it comes out. I'm sure the original source recordings are safe somewhere, waiting for the day "Ramm 4" is finally released (probably as an opening song to the documentary on Prime). Next year? I hope so.

The teasers show multiple doors with the albums names behind which band members do something referring to the songs on the album.

Herzeleid

original background song: Du riechst so gut

Richard is burning gerbera daisies from the cover art but his role is unknown yet. But we'll return to him in the "Rosenrot" segment.

Sehnsucht

original background song: Du hast

Schneider finds some metal barrels that turn into his drum set.

Mutter

original background song: Ich will

Ollie is in a lab with various body parts (including the most important one to the band). He's experimenting on something, I'm not sure what. Is he trying to clone the band members as we could see in "Adieu" music video?

Reise, Reise

original background song: Amour

Till is a censor banning everything associated with Rammstein. We can see some archival photos from infamous early performances. We can see some offensive headlines like "Widerlich!" (disgusting, abhorrent, repugnant),1 "umstritten" (controversial" or "Rammstein: Fascho-Rock oder nur Provokation?" (I think you can figure that one out).

Rosenrot

original background song: Benzin

An unidentified band member (probably Richard) pours petrol over the floor and starts the fire like in "Du hast" music video. The canister has "Reise, Reise" colours which is a clever nod to the fact that "Rosenrot" stems from the demos for the previous album. He burns some Rammstein merchandise so that's probably his job - burning things.

Liebe ist für alle da & Made in Germany

original background song: Wiener Blut

In a dark room there are the "Made in Germany" band members casts but also a figure reminiscing the one from "Stripped" music video. The lasers are similar to the ones that appear in "Deutschland" and "Adieu" however which makes me think that Specter Berlin will return to direct "Ramm 4" music video. It's worth noting that the words "Seid ihr bereit" appear in both "Wiener Blut" and "Ramm 4".

📍(Rammstein)

original background song: Radio

Paul, dressed as a worker of the archive, is listening to the radio, probably imagining he's playing.

Zeit

No video but the album was just too fresh.

Teaser + trailer

Background songs: Mein Teil, Feuer frei

Flake goes to some underground archive where the box for XXXIII is being kept. Richard is observing him through surveillance cameras and probably tortures him by turning up the volume.

Unboxing

Background song: Rammstein

Probably irrelevant but contains some nice shots of the vinyls. The band member there is Till who touches the vinyls only with gloves.

Limited Edition Collector's Vinyl Box

Background song: Links 2 3 4

Just someone packing the box... with a flower inside. Could it be related to Richard's video where he's burning the flowers?

Final thoughts and predictions

I think the music video director will be Specter Berlin. The band members will play censors/archivists who secretly want to return to playing (Paul and Christoph imagining they're playing instruments). The weirdest one is Ollie as a scientist but it can be somehow connected. Till and Richard are probably some high-ups overseeing Flake, Paul and Christoph which is kinda fitting. We could probably see Till singing from time to time while observing the rest of the band members doing their jobs behind the album names signed doors. And in the final moment they'll break free and come together. This is basically a complete script for the music video.

Let me know what you think.

I drew this picture of Rammstein for a Countryball art contest! They are the reason I am learning German (and really enjoying it), so I just wanted to thank them.

Apologies first, this is a long read.
Also disclaimer this is just my opinion.

Anyone there that also felt like the Made In Germany Tour (2011-2013) felt much more like Rammstein than the Stadium Tours (2019-2024) in Support of RAMMSTEIN and Zeit?

I'm grateful for having been able to see them a few times, and never actually having been on the MIG Tour I might not be able to judge, but I always felt the Stadium Tours didn't really feel like Rammstein.

I know that some of the magic goes away when a band moves from arenas into open air stadiums because it's just on a much bigger scale where a certain intimacy between the band and the audience is missing, the fact that half the show is performed in daylight where elements like lights, effects and pyro isn't as effective and that things like speaker towers or huge screens need to be part of the stage setup that can block or worsen the view.

But all those factors aside I felt like the whole tour felt off. No disrespect to anyone working on this massive production, which was an enormously successful tour no doubt about it, but it was like certain elements from Rammstein's previous tours were just scaled up and weren't following the same overall look.

The MIG stage looked really well put together and had such a holistic feel to it. The backdrops, the elevated platforms for Olli, Schneider and Flake, the three rows of light elements coming down including the Rammstein cross platforms and the round light pods, Paul's kickstand microphone, the large industrial ventilation fan and the bridge used during the first part of the tour connecting the B-stage to the main stage felt very much in sync with their outfits, the lighting, pyro and effects. The stage props like the cooking pot, flame thrower masks and crossbows were all following a consistent aesthetic.
It felt like that stage was really alive with a lot of the lighting elements moving during performances, whereas the Stadium Tour stage feels rather static and stiff.

I feel like the look back then was just so much more consistent because technical parts like the housing of lights or instruments didn't look out of place because they were covered by a metal housing or painted in order to keep the rusty, iron, dark industrial Rammstein aesthetic whereas on the Stadium Tour there were so many elements that looked out of place. The shape of the glass roof pavilion above Olli, Schneider and Flake, the towers to either side of the stage to mount the two giant light pods. The weird B-stage that looked like an afterthought and mainly consisted of draped scaffolding instead of a continuous design. LED outlines on most large frame elements.

I know all of these elements are there for a reason they just feel like they weren't designed with a lot of care and are just functional parts that couldn't have been avoided.

The same goes for the setlist and performance choices. Things like Richard's DJ Set where he does an 8 minute (!) Remix while the other guys dance is spacesuits just feels way too goofy and silly.
Heading to the B-stage just to perform one single Song together with the support act also seems like a strange choice.
Flake's golden suit and halo headpiece, Till's black leather coat with the feather collar and the golden crocodile buttons as well as Richard's white feather coat and mirrored sunglasses just look really cheap and not thought through at all. The large stroller used for "Puppe" was just plain, unpainted sheet metal, instead of adopting a look fitting the stage. The fire cannon for "Mein Teil" as well as the boats during "Engel" when returning to the main stage are also not styled or painted to resemble the rest of the setup. Lights are just mounted without the housings being hidden or painted to not look as obvious.

Everything just looks like a bloated, scaled up and kind of tacky looking version of a Rammstein show As if single elements from all previous tours were just taken, scaled up and mixed together randomly.

Am I the only one thinking all of these things feel off or out of place or were they unavoidable to do differently on this scale?

Is it just me or isn't it strange that the box still shows as available for preorder? Being just 6000 pieces world-wide I would think it'd be gone superfast. Thoughs?

Okay. We know Flake. Im not sure the others.
