i like that they openly condemn the nazi part of their fanbase. they're a pretty cool antifascist band considering the singer and the lead guitarist used to beat up skinheads in the gdr
one of the interviews theyve done with rolling stone, i got it from a quote from a classic rock uk article from 2019.
Quote:
Far from flirting with Nazi chic, several Rammstein members retain a strong attachment to the communal left-wing ethos of East Germany. "We have grown up as socialists," Lindemann told Rolling Stone. "We used to be either punks or goths; We hate Nazis! We are coming from an entirely different culture. We used to beat up those right-wing morons, and we still would today."
see the other comment here. Deutschland and Links 2 3 4 are their most overtly left-wing songs, with Deutschland (Germany) being a song that pretty clearly speaks out against german nationalism in particular, and Links 2 3 4 (Left 2 3 4) being a song clearly defining them as left wing while poking fun at people saying they're right-wing because of their militaristic aesthetics through making the whole song pretty much a marching tempo
