Garçon! Diesel!

In response to my recent WTF Eva has provided some vital information: Lindemann did the same thing for Pink. He is apparently a closet sommelier, who takes time out from his performance to organise a tipple for any special guest who might happen to be enjoying the show from the wings. I have this wild image in my head of the front-man trotting out from behind a gantry with a glass-cloth-draped arm bearing a tray of wine glasses, serving any artists attending Rammstein's shows with fine German wines.

I must say that I can't think of a higher level of service than to have your drinks order taken, mid-song, by a man simultaneously holding sway over 10,000-plus maddened rock fans. Yes please!

WTF?

Really?

RIAA impersonator?

Further to the weirdness on RammsteinActuell's channel, the videos that play through the official Rammstein website are throwing similar messages (I thought they were the same channel, to be honest), except rather than UMG named as the claimant it is the RIAA. Perhaps Rammstein video service is being targeted by a troll. Whatever the case may be, someone needs a kick in the slats, be they RIAA, UMG, or a third party playing silly buggers.

Et Tu UMG?

The RammsteinActuell channel on YouTube has had the video of Schneider drumming removed:

"Der Drummer hat sein Bestes gegeben"
This video contains content from UMG, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.

Oh dear, dear me...

Thanks to morlac for the heads up.
