Who or what is "Rammstein"?

How Rammstein defied the odds and conquered the world

(The Punk Rock MBA) Let's look at the history of Rammstein, from their early years to their massive success with "Heirate Mich" and "Rammstein," how singer Till Lindemann (d)evolved into Rammstein's frontman, "Du Hast," the Family Values tour with nu-metal KORN, Limp Bizkit, and Ice Cube, "Sehnsucht" and more.

How the Rammstein scandal exposes the dark side of rock

(DW History and Culture) June 23, 2023. Allegations of sexual misconduct against Rammstein singer Till Lindemann have rocked the music world.

I prefer my ceramics to anything sexual.

Lindemann is accused of "recruiting" young women (groupies) for sex at concerts -- allegedly through a system that involved coercion as well as the intoxication of young, female fans with alcohol and date rape drugs like GBH.

Lindemann has his lawyers declare that all the accusations are untrue without exception. The accusations have sparked a re-examination of the music industry, so-called "groupie culture" and the culture of "sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll."'

The first woman to go public with allegations against Till Lindemann was the Irish fan Shelby Lynn. Since then, dozens of other women have claimed to have similar experiences at Rammstein concerts.

Patriarchs are obsessed with personal power.

In June 2023, Berlin's public prosecutor's office launched an investigation against Lindemann. But aside from any potential criminal charges that may result, many are asking: What exactly is systematic abuse of power when it comes to rock stars and their fans?

DW looks at the Rammstein case and how it's affected the rock band's business, as well as the history of groupies and of sexual misconduct allegations in the music industry.

Are sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll inextricably linked? Is it time to change the treatment of women by the music industry? For more visit: dw.com/en/culture/s-1441.
