Welcome again to everybody! Please sit down, stay awhile and enjoy our groups most honoured tradition, our weekly discussion thread! Oh and if you find the giant spoon, please let me know, I seem to have miss placed it when changing the thread over this week.

Till Lindemann, vocalist and lyricist of Rammstein.
Fucking hell, I was just listening to Amerika an hour ago and it inspired me to reflect on how the Fascists once tried to Germanize the world, failing where the U.S. succeeded.
I was a little reluctant to mention the inspiration because I was worried that that would have made others here berate me (I feel like I read somewhere that there were ties between Rammstein and neofascism, but I could be misremembering). Now that I know that Till Lindemann is basically a heavy metal Michael Jackson I’ll be careful to mention the inspiration critically.
I do not know where is it that you heard about Rammstein’s ties with fascism, but if it was in this page, chances are it may have been from me.
That being said, I do not think that phenomenon you describe is a novelty to the 20th century. I personally think Britain has been to this day the one with most success at it - As well as the most destructive.
