2) It's hard for me to give again a copy/paste from wiki's description
of the band (it's already done in Rammstein-Video Pack DVDRip) and since
I think that you might know almost everything about them, I only want to
paste here some words about the controversies around Rammstein's Imagery and some weird articles related to violent events in which some puritans blame the band or their lyrics for being what they are... Well, as
someone said a time ago: "Listen to my music, not my lyrics" -  and even
so, what a f... some lyrics could do? If you're already a pshycho, some
lyrics won't make you a more pshycho than you are.

  Imagery


Quote:
Described by the New York Times as a powerful strain of brutally intense rock" who "bring gale-force music and spectacular theatrics together", Rammstein has been a band with a highly controversy-prone nature. Rammstein have not been shy about courting this controversy and have periodically attracted condemnation from morality campaigners.
Their stage act earned them a night in jail in June 1999 after a liquid-ejecting dildo was used in a concert in Worcester, Massachusetts. Back home in Germany, the band has faced repeated accusations of fascist sympathies due to the dark and sometimes militaristic imagery of their videos and concerts, including the use of excerpts from the film Olympia by Leni Riefenstahl in the video for Stripped. Their debut album
Herzeleid, released in Germany in 1995, originally had a cover featuring the band members' upper bodies without clothing; critics accused the band of trying to sell themselves as "poster boys for the Master Race".[ Rammstein have vigorously denied this and said that they want nothing to do with politics or supremacy of any kind. Christian "Flake" Lorenz, annoyed by the claim, has remarked that it's just a photo, and should be understood as such. Herzeleid has since been given an
alternate cover in the United States, depicting the band members' faces.
The song "Links 2, 3, 4" (Links being German for "left" ) was written as a riposte to these claims. According to Kruspe, it means, "'My heart beats on the left, two, three, four'. It's simple. If you want to put us in a political category, we're on the left side, and that's the reason we made the song". On the other hand, this is also an allusion to a military marching cadence since "Links, 2, 3, 4" is typically heard during marching practice in the German army with "links" referring to the left foot. The song is also an answer to the saying "the heart beats left", repeatedly outspoken by Oskar Lafontaine, in 2001 a famous member of the SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany) and almost the title of a book written by him (the title is Das Herz schlägt links instead of Mein Herz schlägt links – "The heart beats left" instead of "My Heart beats left" ).
According to the German online music magazine Rammstein took with this song position on the side of Oskar Lafontaine. They write: Rammstein binden den Lafontaine-Spruch "Mein Herz schlägt links" in ihren Text ein und zitieren eine Zeile aus einem alten Hannes Wader-Arbeitersong ( "Links, zwo, drei, vier; links, zwo, drei, vier; wo dein Platz Genosse ist, reih Dich ein in die Arbeitereinheitsfront, wenn Du auch ein Arbeiter bist" ). (Rammstein embed the Lafontaine saying My heart beats left into their lyric and cite a line of an old Hannes Wader
workers song ( "Left, 2, 3, 4; left 2, 3, 4; where your place is accomplice, queue yourself into the workers united frontline, if you are a worker yourself" ).)
Christian "Flake" Lorenz recently stated on an on-line chat that the song was created in order to show that the band could write a harsh,
"evil" , military-sounding song that was not about Nazi ideals.

Relation to violent events


Quote:
Rammstein were cited in relation to the Columbine High School Massacre in 1999, when photos of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold wearing Rammstein T-shirts were revealed. In response to these articles blaming the band of school violence, the band issued a statement: "The members of Rammstein express their condolences and sympathy to all affected by the recent tragic events in Denver. They wish to make it clear that they have no lyrical content or political beliefs that could have possibly influenced such behaviour. Additionally, members of Rammstein have children of their own, in whom they continually strive to instill healthy and non-violent values" .
Coincidentally, on September 10, 2001 the single and video clip of Ich will ( "I Want" ) was released which portrays the band as terrorists who
want to get a message across and receiving a kind of terrorist award for
their "actions" . In the United States the video clip was broadcast only late at night after the attacks of September 11, 2001 in New York City although many media officials and politicians requested the video to be removed from the program completely.
Following the tragic conclusion of the Beslan school hostage crisis in Russia in September 2004, the Russian authorities claimed that the hostage-takers had " listened to German hard rock group Rammstein on personal stereos during the siege to keep themselves edgy and fired up" . The claim has not been independently confirmed.
Band members said this about the issue:
"There's been a lot of talk about that, but if there are radical feelings in people anything can wake them – a painting, a picture, whatever. It's just a coincidence that it happened to be our music. It's important to think about what caused them to make their decisions, how they became animals, not their taste in music. Whenever something like this happens it's like 'Okay, let's blame the artist'. Such bullshit. (Till Lindemann).
"Our music is made to release aggression, and people listening to it are also needed to do that, but it's not our fault. Should we stop making
hard music because bad people might like it?" (Christoph "Doom" Schneider).
