P.S. - no one really talks about Gib Mir Deine Augen much.

Like this? New avatar.
No idea. I got it awhile ago and it is a well made mix of mirroring the live performances of the song, including musical pauses that are usually heard when Till wheels out the giant cooking pot/cauldron. I'm sure/know it's fan made. Well done though, VERY well done.
LOVE the music. Not too big on the lyrics.
Fan made. It's a good one, alot fan made ones, and some are nice, some are just mixed with live shit and sucks.
Gib Mir Deine Augen is an interesting one, along with Vergiss Uns Nicht - as being the very rare times that R+ have actually put legitimate b-sides out in recent years, save for the stuff like Kokain/Feuerrader and 5/4 back in the Sehnsucht/Mutter days.
I always hated how they just packed each single release with remixes, a lot of which I personally can't get into. We know they always had leftover songs from each album, they managed to get a bonus disc going on for LIFAD. I remember hearing a few years ago that they recorded Vergiss Uns Nicht with the german rapper Bushido, and did it around 2005 - and strangely enough when they decided to release Mein Land in 2011 they stuck it on the single. GMDA was leftover from LIFAD, and I'm sure they went back into the studio previous to MIG to do that alongside Mein Land and Mein Herz Brennt piano version, I might be wrong though. I'd kill for them to one day release a disc of leftover album cuts.
I was under the impression that GMDA, VUN and ML were all from the LIFAD sessions, considering they have the exact production quality, and their demos were all part of the same pack.
Interesting about VUN in 2005, though! Can you find the source on that?
True about the production quality thing, perhaps they rerecorded VUN. The news was on fan sites many years ago, and I've just found a wikipedia post that says the following:
Vergiss uns nicht feat. Bushido
In 2005 Richard met German rapper Bushido. They went home and the rapper recorded a verse for a different version of "Vergiss uns nicht". The rapper's book "Zeiten ändern Dich" (Time changes you) features a complete chapter about that recording. In 2011 a version of the song without rapping was released.
I remember reading at the time that the version with Bushido was to be used for a Best Of album, that was rumoured around 2005. In the end Rosenrot was released.
I remember reading just before Rosenrot was announced that the band were to release Los as the final single from Reise Reise, and there would be a 'Plugged' version of that track included in the track listing, but it got canned for the release of Benzin. I always dug the live plugged version of Los, so this was shitty news that it never got released, or even recorded.
Rap? On that gorgeous track? Disgusting!
Meanwhile, what does everyone think the next single/video will be from Skills In Pills? There are so many great crazy ideas they could use.
I have a funny feeling it will either be a serious one for Home Sweet Home or a complete pisstake with Cowboy.
@Space Suicide excellent avatar haha
Change your member title to "and I don't like it".
Fish On would be an excellent track for a music video. I could see the two of them in a thunderstorm on the Sea on a giant ship searching for mermaids to fish for. The entire video has them tracking an elusive one down but they only end up snagging something super goofy at the end of the video in a hilarious reveal.
Just my two cents.

Will everyone give me a golden shower if I scan all 80 pages of the super deluxe edition when it arrives?
2:20 mark, I love how he stands with his hands behind his back just like on the Volkerball film -
Till does some serious claw in that one.
Look what was uploaded a few days ago!
Some random shots:
mine's finally arrived as well after some stock delay with Amazon
Book looks great! @Ryan

No idea. makes me sad.

I need to waste money.
glad I got the super deluxe. What a graphic book! Love it!
could do with less pictures of vaginas with blisters though
I've been away from R+ for a few years now. When LIFAD came out, very little apart from Ich Tu Dir Weh and Haifisch really clicked with me. Might have been because of the loss of a family member I went through shortly before it came out, but I kinda zoned out on most of it, and after I heard Roter Sand I just couldn't do it, ever again. Broke my heart. Wish I'd checked the lyrics earlier and known it was about cowboys.
Anyway, pleased to say I picked up the album again yesterday, and it's really doing it for me now. Back into active listening and time to catch up.
Side note: As a completist Rammstein drove/drives me insane. There's a specific reason I don't own Live Aus Berlin or Volkerball...I'll never for the life of me understand what the thought process is behind keeping an entire half of a concert for a deluxe edition which invariably disappears from shelves as soon as I've got the money...
Ending on a more positive note: Ein Leid is just one of the nicest tracks ever. It's sweet, and really beautiful.

PS - @Space Suicide - the 00:59 second of the Jonas K remix of Fat makes me happy. The way "siiiiize" is altered.
Looks like the long awaited DVD will be called In Amerkia. I'm guessing it's the msg show since the promo shows alot of NYC pictures.
Holy shit I had completely figured this would end up as their version of a "soon" project. So thrilled we'll finally get to see this. Hopefully it's got a blu ray release and not just DVD. Weird they're putting this out now but considering in that one interview Till told that Canadian guy that they'd be seeing Rammstein again very soon, maybe they're planning on another tour sometime late next year? Who knows at this point, this is a nice surprise regardless.
More is always good.
