RAMMSTEIN RELEASE BEHIND-THE-SCENES FOOTAGE FROM ‘MEIN LAND’ VIDEO


Rammstein are incredibly active this week. The German industrial aggro warriors announced a North American tour set to take place this spring and now they’ve released behind-the-scenes footage from their campy, beach-set ‘Mein Land‘ video.

This footage is longer than the actual vid itself –it’s nearly a half-hour in length, so if you’re going to watch it, realize that you are making a commitment. It’s also in German, but has subtitles, so you’ll need to pay attention. By nature of these two facts, it’s NSFW. So if you’ve got 30 minutes, take a gander at it this weekend. It’s certainly entertaining and worth the investment of time you’d make.

In the clip, the band says it always dreamed of doing a beach video with a bunch of girls, which is a stark contrast to the dark, subterranean music. The band mentions that rap videos always have lots and lots of girls. Rock stars can’t be upstaged by rappers and hip-hoppers, so Rammstein decided to feature lots of pretty ladies in bathing suits.

The video’s pastel colors were also used to reflect another time and another era, when things were simpler and, well, brighter. Who knew Rammstein were so nostalgic and sentimental?

Rammstein Keyboardist Victim Of Arson







Flake Lorenz, Rammstein’s keyboardist, has been targeted by an arsonist.
The Gauntlet reports that Lorenz had a barn on his property forced open by a thief, who later set the structure on fire.


The barn was old, and set back a ways on Lorenz’s property in the Liebenwalde district of Germany. Half of the barn was scorched and destroyed before fire crews were able to respond to the scene to extinguish the flames.


Flake also suffered losses to his classic car collection, which was housed in the barn.


Police managed to identify and capture the suspected arsonist: a 28-year-old male with a criminal record.


The suspect, whose name has not yet been released, reportedly had a fiery car crash not too far from Flake’s residence.


Police recovered stolen studio gear from the douche nozzle’s wrecked auto.


Flake was not at home at the time, as he is out on tour with the band for their upcoming retrospective release Made In Germany 1995-2011.
