Old Shame is In-Universe only


** The music video for their cover of "[[Music/DepecheMode Stripped]]" was lifted from a Nazi propaganda film about the Berlin Olympiad, and the band has received death threats for this. The band have stated before that while they appreciate the cinematography, they absolutely disdain the politics, and somewhat regret making that video.
** The band also hated the original video for "Du Riechst So Gut", so much so that they recorded a new video for the song in 1998.

** Japan got "Hallelujah" as a bonus track on ''Mutter'', and the US got it as a bonus on the Best Buy edition of it. However, fans elsewhere had to either import those copies or find the rare "Links 2-3-4" single. A demo version of the song was released on the ''Resident Evil'' film soundtrack.
** In Japan, ''Reise Reise''[='s=] cover and pre-gap hidden track were seen as distasteful due to being to do with a Japanese plane crash, so the hidden track was removed and a new cover was devised featuring a ship. This was later used as the cover for ''Rosenrot''. Remixes of "Mein Teil", "Amerika" and a bonus DVD featuring clips from the band's DVD ''Lichtspielhaus'' were also included.
** The US got a new cover for ''Herzeleid'' with white background, whilst the original cover remains in place everywhere else. It was likely the cover was changed for revealing too much of the band's upper bodies, rather than the Nazi controversy alluded.
** The US also had a minor bonus with ''Reise Reise'', as the flight recorder hidden track was actually included at the start of the track rather than being hidden in the pregap. As pre-gap tracks are hard to rip on computers, this has made it popular with collectors.
** Australia got "Stripped" as a bonus track on ''Sehnsucht'' and when the band toured in 2001, got their "Asche Zu Asche" single with five live tracks as a bonus tour disc too. This version of the album is quite collectible.

* CutSong:
** The middle six songs on the ''Rosenrot'' album, "Rosenrot" through to "Hilf Mir", had all been cut songs from ''Reise Reise''.
** There is one more outtake from the ''Reise Reise'' sessions, "Eisenmann", which had a newer version recorded during the production of ''Liebe ist für alle da'' leaked online in 2010.
** The instrumental later for "Pussy" had different, cut lyrics which were used partly in "Gib Mir Deine Augen" (b-side to the 2012 reworking of "Mein Herz Brennt") and others in "Was Ich Liebe" (from the self-titled album).



** French youtuber Creator/LinksTheSun's pseudonym is a reference to "Links 2,3,4". Also, one of his videos is a critique of "Seeman".

* FanNickname: A small circle of fans gave Doom's... erm... manhood... a nickname, (''Doomieconda'') and it became a running joke that he has a case of BiggerIsBetterInBed. Not to mention the assorted nicknames for the band members, such as Reesh and Fly Boy for Richard, Paulchen and The Littlest Rammstein for Paul, and Tillie and Bear for Till.
