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


    way to prove my point einstein
    That doesn't prove anything, it said what Rammstein, not Ramstein, translates to.

    i.e.... nothing.

    i'm well aware of the base dude.... now go back to my comment on how that base got its name.
    "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.

    It got it's name from Ramstein-Miesenbach. The band got their name from the base. Their name's literal meaning is ram-stone.

    I pronounce the band name "Rammstein" correctly (or the best to my knowledge) for the same reason I pronounce Richard Wagner's name correctly, they are both artists that I deeply respect and it really just sounds stupid any other way.

    Exactly. We're not talking about pronouncing cities, we're talking about a word the band themselves came up with for their name. I don't see how there could be other pronunciations when it's not even a real word when combined.

    Because I never learned the correct way to pronounce his first name. I never said I'd be against that, just didn't know that's how you pronounced it. It's not like I'm saying I wouldn't have if I had known that prior.

    I'm going to keep pronouncing Rammstein the Anglican way. Just like I'll keep pronouncing Mexico, burrito, Lamborghini Gallardo, and a bunch of Italian foods the Anglican way.

    If you're trying to learn the language and are practicing it then I don't care but besides that it's just weird and slightly annoying

    and you'll probably get punched in the face in America if you speak like that too

    in America? naw. I doubt that would happen anywhere. In America, you pronounce stuff the Anglican way. In other countries, citizens give you benefit of the doubt, knowing you don't speak the language
