    i dont get the fuss with the pronunciation.... it's the Anglican way of pronouncing it.

    it would be like pronouncing "Mexico" as Meh-he-co (because thats the Spanish pronunciation
    that's what I was trying to get across also. Pronounce it the Americanized way.
    If that's the case then everyone in this country should refer to the band as "Ram Stone".
    that doesn't even make sense
    I was thinking the same thing lol

    There is no Americanized way for the word/phrase "Rammstein". Ram Stone is the translation, I figured you would be able to understand that rather quickly.

    "Rammstein" translates to "Ram Stone" take out the extra "m" and it becomes a famous air base, not a city. That is where the band got their name from.

    Ramstein-Miesenbach (not just Ramstein, in order to make sense you need Miesenbach, I can't just say New and mean New York) is a municipality in the district of Kaiserslautern.

    Then you would know that "Rammstein" (gotta' have that extra m!) means Ram Stone.

    What does "Rammstein" mean?

    "Rammstein" is translated to "ramming stone" but that isn't why the group chose the name. They chose the name after the terrible plane crash at Ramstein (note only one 'm' in the spelling) Air Base. That is what the song "Rammstein" is about. I have the video from the accident in my video section.

    But they JUST said Ramstein.... that makes absolutely no sense. he basically just said "New".
