So where does the name 'Rammstein' come from? "Rammstein" translates to "two stones that collide with one another" or "stones colliding" or "ramming stones" or "ramming stone." Till said in an MTV interview: "The name came from the big catastrophe that happened in Ramstein, which is a place in Germany, where the American airforce had a flight show. They crashed and over 80 people got hurt and killed. So the first song, actually, was about that accident. And then there was always like a cause when they'd say: 'Ramstein, Ramstein!' So it came into our head and it stayed there. We just changed the spelling slightly because Ramstein is actually spelt with one 'm'. It also became somewhat of a provocation, by just repeating it, it kind of became like a symbol for us, an anthem."
