Well this news came out of the blue.

the accuser apparently has said the same about metalica.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

You uhh…got any sort of link or source here bud? Also Metallica is a band not an individual who can commit sexual assault

 

[cornonthecrobb]

Singer of German band Rammstein accused of recruiting fans for sex

Young female fans allegedly ‘cast’ to have sex with Till Lindemann during and after heavy metal group’s shows

www.google.com

The publishing house Kiepenheuer & Witsch, which published an anthology of Lindemann’s poems in 2020, announced it was parting ways with the singer, citing the string of reports as well as a two-year-old pornographic video in which the Rammstein frontman appears to insert his penis through a hole cut into a copy of a volume of his own poetry.

Ok well now is anyone really going to sit here and claim they haven’t done the same?

"Recruiting fans for sex"

That's a new spin on the word "groupies."

 

[Trunx81]

Really was waiting until THIS topic arrived here. Took you long enough. Let me grab my Popcorn.

 

[Methos#1975]

Isn't this like every band?

They're called "groupies" and there's nothing wrong with that and also it's a major factor on people starting to play in a band.

Spoiler

Damn, never noticed Till got a giant fucking head.

 

[Ragnarok]

A perverted German? Now I’ve seen everything.

 

[cornonthecrobb]

personally I don't believe a word of it

Well to be fair, the point of getting rich and famous should be to have chicks willingly consenting to playing with your wee wee, not to drug and rape them.

Which he didn't do.

"At the pre-concert party, the woman said, she had two alcoholic drinks but then started to act erratically from about 8.30pm, with gaps in her memory, leading her to later fear that her drink had been spiked. A urine test she obtained from a pharmacy showed no sign of drugs in her system.

In a follow-up post on 30 May, the woman said: “Till did NOT touch me. He accepted I did not want to have sex with him. I never claimed he raped me.”

What's the fucking problem.

"An article in Süddeutsche Zeitung cites another woman, who had attended an after-show party following a Rammstein concert in Vienna in 2019, and had drunk alcohol.

After passing out, this woman said she regained consciousness to find Lindemann “on top of me” inside a hotel room. According to Süddeutsche, the singer then asked her whether she wanted him to stop and later left the room."

What's the fucking problem.

We're in the era of sexual regret = assault.

 

[Wildebeest]

Not really. You have Radiohead who actually act like their job is to be professional musicians, then you have Lostprophets.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

I mean, if I'm reading the story correctly.......we're now in the era of accepting "no" and walking away = assault.

I'm very confused by this story.

“Young female fans allegedly ‘cast’ to have sex with Till Lindemann during and after heavy metal group’s shows”

Aka: rock and roll

 

[jason10mm]

"Hey, want exclusive access to a rock star because you are young and hot?"

"YES!"

"Do you want to have ze sex mit mich?"

"NO"

"Alles gut"

Seriously, this guy is like the poster child of proper rock star behavior

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Which he didn't do.

I support the presumption of innocence, I’ve never heard of Rammstein being anything but responsible over the years, especially when it comes to safety of their fans given their extravagant pyrotechnics and other shit. And if a guy makes it as a rock star I’m not gonna fault him for partying and banging a consenting adult. But that’s not what he’s been accused of doing

If there’s some physical evidence she was drugged or whatever it should be presented. But like most of these kinds of things it’ll probably end up being a he said she said

 

[Fuz]

Yes, there is:

"At the pre-concert party, the woman said, she had two alcoholic drinks but then started to act erratically from about 8.30pm, with gaps in her memory, leading her to later fear that her drink had been spiked. A urine test she obtained from a pharmacy showed no sign of drugs in her system.

Dude, can you fucking read? This character assassination based on nothing, it's slander, it's trying to damage someone's reputation and it is fucking serious.

Yea I can read, I missed that part, thanks for pointing it out.

 

[NickFire]

The article suggests that groupies still exist (duh) and that anyone on record agrees that he takes no for an answer. Rather horrific if his name is being dragged through the mud simply because groupies and rockstars still have casual relations.

 

[MDSLKTR]

then you have Lostprophets.

I remember the thread here 10 years ago. That shit was vile.

I love that Bill from Tokyo Hotel literally said this shit about his own band during a normal interview like a decade ago, and NONE SAID A SINGLE THING ABOUT IT... like... it's almost like that's expected shit for rock stars to do

 

[Droxcy]

Likely to be thrown out

 

[Firestartah]

I already liked Rammstein, you dont have to sell them to me.

 

[FUBARx89]

Didn't she do the same to Metallica the cretin?

 

[Come On Tars]

which song is better. Du hast or Sonne

 

[Toons]

Who?

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

This is not wunderbar.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Not really. You have Radiohead who actually act like their job is to be professional musicians, then you have Lostprophets.

I remember watching a documentary on the subject of Ian Watkins and his depravities and my God I've never felt so physically sick in all my life. listening to the testimonies about him and the woman involved was haunting.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

The dude was getting his dick sucked in a music video - allegedly - Platz Eins, I think it only released on porn sites

Hip-Hop/Rappers do this shit all the time, nobody bats an eyelash.

 

[Patrick S.]

The typical reactionism in Germany is fucking stupid, as always. Now the're gonna create "protection zones" at concert by leaving the front row empty. Clown country I'm living in.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Well this news came out of the blue.

the accuser apparently has said the same about metalica.

Pedro picapiedra esta en problemas!!! .

Fred flinstone is on problems!!! .


He is follow me on Twitter.

Help me understand the logic here? Doesn't that just make the front row the second row? And what are they supposedly protecting the audience from? What's the strongest argument for doing this?

 

[Peggies]

You uhh…got any sort of link or source here bud? Also Metallica is a band not an individual who can commit sexual assault

Metallica is a pretty cool guy. He commits sexual assault and doesn't afraid of anything.

 

[Patrick S.]

I have no idea man.

 

[Sleepwalker]

So he didnt have sex with any of the victims and left when told "no".

I say burn him down



Also waiting on a link for the supposed metallica allegations

 

[JonSnowball]

The uncensored video for Rammstein's Pussy is awesome though

 

[mitch1971]

Hip-Hop/Rappers do this shit all the time, nobody bats a false eyelash.

I guess idk, I like rammstein's music, but what I mean is, maybe Its possible, but yea all rock bands have groupies and do some shady shit I'm sure.

 

[Davesky]

It’s funny how it always seems to be the alternative artists that face these kangaroo court allegations that the mainstream media can get it’s dick wet over.

 

[01011001]

same logic like the missing 13th floor in some hotels and high rises... or a missing 13th row in a plane n shit.
just so people shut up

[NinjaBoiX]

I’ll usually wait for a while with this kind of thing before forming an opinion one way or the other, innocent until proven guilty and all that.

I actually think there should be some kind of legal restriction on naming anyone until an official judgement has been made, these kind of accusations can tank a career even if they turn out to be false.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Groupies?

 

[01011001]

that ending

To be fair, in Japan it’s justified, pronouncing “4” is “shi” which means death, so it’s pretty understandable they don’t have a 4th floor (just number it 3 and then 5 and beyond) in their hospitals, if a loved one is one of the verge of death, you don’t want family members and friends asking where their room is and being told to go to the 4th floor.
