When i got this book... ooh, was i excited! this is extremely wonderful and gave me a better insight to how RAMMSTEIN works. Schneider's writing in this is a bit silly and has no real subject (what an awesome guy), but at least it's better than Olli.. who wrote nothing at ALL! LOL. Richard and Paul's descriptions are very interesting about the early days (petrol floor.. haha), and Till and Flake... well, they're just themselves...with sexy results! The pictures are great. i was gazing at one of them in south america so long that i noticed- Paul and i wear the same boots! Such sexy results have we! GET THIS BOOK, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT!...

Boy, did I ever love reading through this truly excellent compilation of common promotional and rare personal photographs in this well-worth-the-50 Deutschmarks book about the greatest German rock group of the modern, or any age, in my opinion. But hey, no offense to the Scorpions, or even Kraftwerk, it's just that Rammstein is definetly my favorite. Being of German heritage, I greatly appreciate the material included. There are many great-looking photos, ranging from on the set of their videos, to live in concert, to them on Holiday in Greece and Mexico. But that's not all. From each member of the group (except for Oliver the bassist, for some odd reason) there are personal recollections. What detail, and what exiting lives these guys have led! They speak about meeting, recording, performing live, and sometimes their personal lives as well (i.e. wives and children). And I love it! Back to being part-German, yes, that's just where I was to buy this item, last December, in Heillbronn. Right in the middle of the Weinachsfest und Markt (Christmas festival and market), boy, was that ever a fun time! Anyway, I really enjoy this book. Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, and Mutter are masterpieces of rock music, and man, these guys put on a hell of an action-packed show! But only from what I've read and seen in this book and on the Live Aus Berlin DVD, unfortunatly, I've never actually attended a live show. But that doesn't mean I still can't! I hope to do so one day, yes, indeed! Bottom line here, get this book! The Six Teutonic Titans of Metal will be in your gratitude. Auf Wiedersehen, jetzt, meine Damen und Herren!!!!

These people are amazing. I have never heard such incredible music in my life. I listen to their music for hours everyday. Their concert performances are astonishing, even those who are not fans (yet) listen and watch in awe. When Till Lindemann sings, I become so mezmerized, and added to this powerful voice is the beautiful music played by the five talents, creating a melody wonderful enough to make a person high. The book is a way to get a glimpse into the lives of these masterminds.

Even though I expected more text on this book, I think it's really good, some of the pictures are masterpieces, especially the ones in black and white. I recommend it to all Rammstein fans. It's well worth.

This is a 150page book of photos of Rammstein, do you need any more convincing? definetly worth getting and stocks will go fast!

When I got home last Friday and saw a little box under the doormat I soon learned that perhaps I COULD have made the High School track team. It cetainly took long enough to get to me..but my RAMMS+EIN book finally came!! I ran inside and sat by the lamp almost too afraid to open it. But I had to of course. Just looking at the cover I felt warmth running through my veins. It just looks so important. I finally managed to open the cover very carefully and spent the next 10 minutes giggling like a well fed (...) school girl. I didn't have time to actually read anything then because I had to drive my little brother to see someone...but as valuable this item was I brought the little book along and strapped it in the backseat. It was so precious! Anyway..I finally did some reading later that night. Richard has a way with words. He does the most talking. He seems like such a sweetie. Till is comical **You really have to read the part where Till talks about how he met Richard..and what Richard looked like** Paul is Paul. He never seems to change. I never saw one of their Pre-Herzeleid live shows...but Paul describes them in such a way that I really regret it! How can being straight forward be humorous? Only He knows. FLAKE!!!! Though not directly insiteful....a keen mind will decipher the hidden meaning within Flake's words. I am rather biased to this section. Christoph and Olli didn't have anything to say in this book. Rather disappointing..but it's made up with pictures!!! (...) You've not seen all of these before. I think alot of these shots were saved especially for this book. Most of the book is not on the internet and magazine articles. You will be surprised. (...)
The only fault of the book is that there is not really enough text. But it was created by their live show stage designer. Go figure... The pictures are the art. There ARE rough drafts for some of their songs. GREAT!!

I have been obsessed for over 6 years now. I never thought a book would come so soon..but I'm glad it did. It makes RAMMS+EIN seem as special to everyone as they are to me. Wow...a book.

BUY THIS BOOK TODAY! It will take forever to get to you...but it is worth it!!!!

(...) it's great...some good photos and biographies of the band...enjoy it!

Im not much a reader, exept for the master mind of horror,
Stephen King and his brilliantly written work. When my book finally came in, I was so filled with joy that I went in my room and started reading the wonderful book which Rammstein graced the cover of. There was wonderful pictures and they six german master-minds of teutonic shock-rock are quit interesting to read about. I must admit, no other band has ever brought me the thrill of being a obssesive fan like Rammstein has. Those 160 pages filled with the deranged Berlin natives are the best 160 pages I read since the hilarious, Gertrude Besserwisser's "Sheisse!". If your a Rammstein fan like me, get Rammsteins book because as long as you have to wait for it to arrive, you'll be ten times as happier to get the honor to hold it in your hands and read it over and over and over . . .
Plus you get to see pics. of the wonderfull mad-men, Till,Christpoh,Flake,Oliver,Paul and not to forget the wonderful,
Richard Kruspe. These guys are great. Yeah, I know that my review makes me look like a Rammstein lovin' ..., but I urge you to buy it as soon as you can, like RIGHT NOW!!!!!

But thats besides the point.

Anyone else following the endless ins and outs concerning this book since the Spring of '99? Well.......the wait is finally over! Rammstein's Management HAS confirmed that the book will be released in late October 2001. It is approximately 160 pages with approximately 150 photos. Endlich!!!

If this book comes when it's supposed to, it's going to be a very Merry Christmas indeed!
