10 of the most high-profile scandals related to Rammstein

The iconic German metal band Rammstein probably know even those who are far from "heavy" music. The secret to the success of the team not only in the global hits that break new records of popularity, but the constant scandals that do not give to lose the rockers out of sight either during the tours or in between them.

Oddly enough, but in 1994, the group had already recorded their first album, but still had no name. Choose anything for a long time failed and in the end, brainstorm, was born the name Rammstein ("Ramming stone").

The musicians did not know that Ramstein is the name of a small town, where in 1988 he was a terrible tragedy. During the Airshow, which is situated near the town of the homonymous NATO military base in the sky collided with three Italian aircraft, one of which fell into the crowd and caught fire. Then killed 70 people and about 400 were injured.

But when a tragic coincidence became known to change something was already late and rockers leave it as it is, and besides, it recorded the song Rammstein dedicated to the crash at an Airshow. This provoked the wrath of the media as the memory of the event was still too fresh. Thus, the history of the German group began with a scandal.

After the release of the video for the song Stripped, the group was accused of fascism. The reason for this was that the video clip was created from the frame of the documentary film "Olympia", which is my favorite female Director, Fuhrer lenny Riefenstahl filmed the Olympic games of 1936 in Berlin.

Among the many athletes from around the world in the clip shown and German, personified at that time, the superiority of the Aryan race over the other. In the video there was another provocation — the flag of Nazi Germany were cut from it, but put in its place American. According to many, this change reflected the opinion of the members of the group about American democracy.

In March 1996 the band Rammstein was invited to the British MTV program "Hanging out", going live. The Germans had to play two songs. Before I go on stage, the musicians were warned that they would not take any improvisations, especially those related to violence. It was made of the fact that even then the rockers were known as lovers of explosions, flashes and spooky hoaxes.

Despite the warning that in case of violation of the rules will be broadcast immediately interrupted, the lead singer till Lindemann in his speech, had crushed the vial of fake blood. Everything happened as promised the TV broadcast was stopped, and the musicians put the door with a warning: "To your weren't here".

One of the greatest scandals of the group erupted because of performance associated with the performance of the song Bueck Dich. Lead singer and keyboardist Christian a few times, played some sort of sexual act on stage, in front of the audience. Because of this, the charges of homosexuality is persecuted members of the group for many years, and concert organizers in advance warn rockers from this "show".

The most serious consequences because of the unbridled scenes from Rammstein was in the US at the concert in the city of Worcester's. There they were allowed to finish his statement, and then Tilla and Christian was taken to the police station and forced to explain about immoral behavior. But it so happened that immediately after "act" on stage off electricity.

Surprisingly, Rammstein is a command for which no scandal can be a real scandal! That's what happened with the album Mutter, to which I really wanted to cling, but gave no reason. First, the media has tried to develop a theme around a strange image on the cover, then somebody heard in the Intro of the song Mein Herz Brennt plagiarism of the song Kashemir of Led Zeppelin.

But none of the charges have not found a response among the masses. Then all forces were thrown to the clip of Ich Will, which is considered inappropriate, immediately after the September 11, 2001. But this is not passed, so reluctantly from the German band and its new album, behind, until next time.

The song Mein Teil was written by Lindemann, after, in 2001, the world was stunned case that occurred in the German town of Rothenburg. There's Mauves Armin was killed, dismembered and ate jürgen Brandes, with his full consent. Met the killer and his victim through an ad in the newspaper in which Meiwes wrote that is looking for an able-bodied man between 18 and 30 years for slaughtering.

This terrible story formed the basis of one of the most popular songs in the entire history of the German group. A little later, there were no less provocative clip with lots of blood and culinary attributes. Interesting, but even the "Butcher" Mauves, serving a life sentence, tried to sue the rockers, but only increased the hype around the clip.

The song Amerika became critical of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and the video for this song alludes to the well-known hypothesis that the video of the landing of American astronauts on the moon was filmed on the Ground with Director Stanley Kubrick. The Americans did not appreciate the humor of German musicians and were outraged by the song and video.

Because of this, Rammstein ruled composition of their American tour, in order not to irritate the Patriotic public. But at concerts in other parts of the planet joke on fast food, Disneyland, Mickey mouse and astronauts continue mercilessly exploited.

As we already know, accusations of homosexuality are not unusual for musicians Rammstein. The song Mann Gegen Mann and the same clip again, critics have noticed the calls for same-sex love between men. Hints were so obvious that the video was immediately banned in several countries.

After the release of the song, the debate about sexual orientation of the participants of group did not cease. Supporters that the German rockers still gay people to death grappled with those who support the idea that the video is filled with metaphors and hidden deep meaning, far from sex, especially gay.

The provocation which the musicians of the German band prepared for their world tour titled Liebe ist für alle da eclipsed all previous childish pranks rammsteinfan. The band recorded the song Pussy and took her pornographic video, which was uploaded on pornosayte in September 2009.

Today on the Internet you can find three versions of the clip: original pornographic subjected to partial censorship and completely cut and therefore uninteresting and lost the original meaning. The latter option has even shown up on some music channels, but in a "castrated" version of it with no success.

One of the latest scandals associated with the video for the song Deutschland, in which the musicians appeared in the clothes of concentration camp prisoners. Felix Klein, Commissioner of the Federal government to combat anti-Semitism, said after seeing the clip that this time the members of Rammstein actually "crossed the red line".

And the audience liked video on YouTube only for the first day it was watched by over 6 million users. Fans expressed their support musicians and protested the fact that their Pets practiced biased attitude, and every step must be condemned.
