[edit] Eh?

" During a concert in Gothenburg, Sweden on July 30, 2005, Till Lindemann suffered a knee injury when Flake accidentally ran into him with the Segway. This caused concerts scheduled in Asia to be canceled" Is this really necessary?--Schwarzes Nacht 13:28, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rammstein is not anti-American.

I'm tired of people treating people of German decent as evil. Just cause Hitler was one of the ex-leaders of Germany.

The Germans are the most industrial people on the planet. The have the best road, the best vehicles, the best technology, and the best music. Associating such a great country of great industry and culture with hate and intolerance is wrong.

Amerika is a reminder that our country, the United States, has been very invasive. Our government might not be the invaders, but the corporations are. The people who have accused Rammstein of being anti-American are the representatives of the industry that is suppost to be supporting their record. RIAA! Just cause Till Lindemann isn't dressed in an Old Navy T-shirt and eating McDonnald's for breakfast doesn't mean he is anti-American.

One thing I liked about the Amerika video was that they didn't attack any political party which has been one of the many problems with most musicians, which according to their label, they must express liberal support against conservatism. This is brainwashing if anything.

The members of Rammstein know that while they are against the war, the real warmongers are not the American Government, as implied in Green Day's American Idiot, but the American Corporations, which have invaded other cultures with consumerism.

As a result, the industry has fought back. Rammstein's Reise, Reise and Amerika albums have been hard to find at any American music retailer. Anytime anyone request to hear the new Rammstein album in the United States, the station plays Du Hast as if thats to only song they've ever heard.

The silence must stop!

As it turns out, no foreign government has recently made a decision to invade a certain oil-rich country in the middle east despite protests from various parts of the world, using justifications later shown to be empty.

The same world that protested action against Hitler in the 30s? (PS the al-Qaeda connection has come out as true.) GreatGatsby 03:42, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Looking at your contributions, Hitler figures prominently in your defence of the Bush administration (e.g Talk:Abu Musab al-Zarqawi/Archive2). I take it you're familiar with Godwin's Law? About Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda:
The consensus of intelligence experts has been that these contacts never led to an operational relationship.
