Please help me with my Germanic Obsession

OK. I’ve essentially brought heartache upon myself by 1) being born in America and 2) liking a German band that all Americans think are NAZI*

Are there any German dopers out there (or industry insiders) who can obtain a video copy of the new Rammstein video Ich Will for me? It was released today on MTV and VIVA in Europe, and WILL NOT be released in the states (although from the content of the video and our hypersensitive society I can certainly see why).

Anyway, I just wanted to throw this out there…I don’t know if MTV or VIVA have shows like TRL or something that you KNOW the video would be on and you could tape it for me?

I’d love you forever.

and ever.

…That I’m German, jarbaby.

I have it, if you want me to email it to you. It’s in RM tho, so the quality kinda sucks.

You can also buy the single, which is out today and has the video on it.

You are not the only one that likes it. :slight_smile:

Jarbaby - I found this site that look like it has it online, or at least has a link to it somewhere. I’m not sure. It says that it’s available to Fan Area members (?).

You’re talking about this. You need a password… it would be illegal and against board policy to say more than… email me if you want help.

yep, I’m a member, and I’ve seen it in crappy bit map Real Player format. Thanks for your help, though :slight_smile:

I’m looking to get it in a good quality, full screen version, on video or Mac compatible DVD.

Simetra, I thought that the CD single was

  1. only being released in Europe

and

  1. had a ‘live video’ version of Ich Will on it, not the video. I thought it was concert footage. Am I wrong?

Per email I recieved:

As far as I know, the single will be in US, and this seems to say just that.

Looking at it again tho’… it looks like you’re right about the video just being of the live concert. Sorry 'bout that… I was wrong.

this is from the rammstein.com news site:

Release in Europe only

The new Rammstein single is called “Ich will”. Due to the big success during every concert this single was chosen to be the third release out of the current album “Mutter”. And for those who like to receive an impression of Rammstein’s live performance: there is an extra live-video-recording of the new song included.

(bolding mine) So I think that I’ll have to have it IMPORTED to get it here, and that will take a while. I only asked about the ICH WILL video here because through a bunch of searching I was able to get Sonne and Links on video tape from someone, and this is clearly (not so clearly in Real Player :rolleyes:) their best video yet. I know MTV will never play it here, and I doubt if they’re sending it to radio stations and video outlets in the U.S.

I wish they’d just put out a video compilation Video/DVD and be done with it.

*The dark dungeon’s walls are black granite, slightly damp; humidity from the thunderstorm raging outside, she reckons. Her bare feet are cold, as are her wrists under the heavy iron shackles.

The oak door at the top of the stone stairs flies open, and by the glare of a lightning flash she sees him silhouetted in the frame: Herr Funfhase!

A thrill of fear runs through her as he stalks down the steps, the hard leather of his heels clack-clacking, the cruel riding crop in his hands slap-slapping.

He stops in front of her, adjusting his monocle and leaning in close to examine her, unsmiling, like a cut of meat he is predisposed to find wanting.

“Was Sie benötigen, soll und häufig und von jemand verprügelt werden, das kann,” he says. She bites her lip hard enough to draw blood. Then she swoons.*

Good luck with your obsession!

Fraulein Baby -
I am going to DE in Oktober and will be happy to get
the video for you, and upon my return to the USA have
our video guy convert it from PAL to NTSC.
That is if you can survive that long?

Mit freundlichen Gruessen!

Jess, I will also be in Duesseldorf und Stuttgart starting Oct 5th for a week. I will be more than happy to pick it up for you! Just let me know, ok?
I also live ten minutes from you and there are plenty of PAL conversion places over on Devon.

You know how to find me…just look out your back door when the lights are off :slight_smile:

You guys are great and helpful. I’ve found someone to send me the video so that’s taken care of. But MikeyG, I’ve realized what I want you to buy for me in Germany, and I’ll pay you back when you return. Email me!
