Getting arrested for wearing a metal shirt? That sounds ridiculous, I think that used to happen during communism regime.
Do they listen to your phone too?

Yeah, like I can imagine the shirt being too racy for school (look at Brujeria's Matando Gueros shirt, I probably wouldn't be able to get away with that one at school.... although I'd defenitely try), but for the govt to get pissed is really dumb...
 
Although I know that in Germany no one is allowed a Cannibal Corpse shirt of the first 3 albums... or maybe they changed that law.

Wait... Its a law   wtf am I reading?!

I remember having fun once, it was terrible...

It's a law in Germany (or was). During the Death Metal period in the 90s German kids started getting into Death Metal, and people were afraid of it, so they put a bunch of bans on various Death Metal bands (If CC comes to Germany they can't play songs from the first 3 albums).

As Far as I can remember, that law is repealed. They are now allowed to play songs from their first 3 albums.
Germany has Extreme laws for banning albums, like the album Krebskolonie from Eisregen, it is ultimately banned, not even people over 18 are allowed to buy it, Hell they aren't even allowed to mention its name.

Didn't know that thing about banned t shirts in Germany. Maybe it's just not appropriate for school, work or church, but I don't see why a government would ban gory T shirt wearing on the street, in your own private free time... Or it could have been in East Germany, that would make more sense. Maybe Skinless could tell something about that.
 
We have a romanian folk rock band called Phoenix that used to be banned by law to play in their hometown, Timisoara...but that was in the 70's. They even left the country and returned in the 90's, after the revolution (fall of communism in Romania).

It really doesnt make any sense anyway . I mean , imagine a cop stops you . He would know if your t-shirt is made from the 3 first Cannibal Corpse cds ? Or they made them in wanted! posters ?

oh he ought to be an admiral, a sultan, or a King
And to his praises we shall always sing
Look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
Lord bless Cha

 
I think I should point out that when a goverment bans something (a movie, a book, a CD) they're only giving it a higher status. They're publicizing it, and they're making the general populous interested in it.
 
Oh, and in Germany there's something called THE LIST.
Stuff goes on there like DVDs books CDs movies etc and onyl 18 year olds and older can buy them. Rammstein's latest album Liebe ist fur Alle Da was put on there a few weeks after its release 'cause the inner artwork shows one of the guitarists spanking a naked chubby woman over his knee, and there's a burlap sack over her head. And there're other pics of naked women in various stages of vulnerability (being chloroformed by the singer and such).
Aaand 'cause the second track mentions putting barbed wire up a woman's vag... as if Rammstein has never written anything worse than that... (look at the lyrics to Spiel Mit Mir and Hirate Mich)

You probably mean The Index.
And what they did with LIFAD was really stupid. Rammstein didn't do anything different in this album, than they have done in the previous ones (I mean lyrics wise).

But the Eisregen album really is extremely banned, and that for like 8 years or so. Like I said, not even people over 18 are allowed to buy it, because it is full of crazy lyrics about cannibalism, Necrophilia, sexism, and other inhumane themes.

---

 
Yeah, exactly. The people who make the Index probably don't look over Rammstein albums... probably one of their kids came home with the album LIFAD and played it, and their censor-happy parents heard it... actually now that I think about it LIFAD is less risque than Herzeleid or Sehnsucht.
 
About Eisregen, that's not even that bad... Intense Hammer Rage is Austrailian and if they release more albums under the name Intense Hammer Rage they'll get arrested. They got in deep shit for the release of their first studio release, too, and most copies of it were destroyed.
