On this site I'll include everything I know about my favorite band , including a recordings list, news and gossip, photos,
show reviews, and more.
The name
Three Italian air force jets collided on August 28, 1988 at an air show at the US airbase in Ramstein, Germany.
About 40 spectators died in the first minutes and several hundred were injured. In the next two months, the death toll rose
to 69. In short, it was a disaster.
The name was all over the media at the time and just got stuck in their heads. They changed it from Ramstein (with one
M) to Rammstein (with two). It is not a real German word, but literally means "Ram-stone". They chose it to provoke and because
the meaning seemed to fit their music. Their first song, "Rammstein" was about this tragedy.
Thanks for taking a look at my site. Be sure to get in touch with your thoughts and suggestions. I'll be updating
frequently, so please check back often.
