"Rammstein"
Song

"Rammstein" is a song by the German Industrial metal band Rammstein. It is the eleventh and final track on their debut album Herzeleid and was the first song written by the band. It is essentially about the Ramstein airshow disaster[1]. According to an interview with rhythm guitarist, Paul Landers the sound of the main riff of the song is made by him and lead guitarist, Richard Kruspe each playing a similar riff with different octaves (Richard plays the middle and Paul plays the lower).[2]

In the Live aus Berlin performance of the song, lead vocalist Till Lindemann ascends from underneath the stage, via a trap door. He wears a burning coat, and special goggles from which a laser beam is projected, from one of the lenses. When they performed the song in the 2004-05 "Ahoi" tour, Till no longer wore the flaming jacket, opting instead for dual arm mounted flame throwers.[3]
