In 2007, Apocalyptica released their album ‘Worlds Collide,’ that featured many guest vocalists, including Till Lindemann of Rammstein, who sang on their cover of David Bowie’s ‘Heroes,’ called ‘Helden’ in German. That much I knew already because I’m a fan of this particular song and especially Lindemann’s vocals on said track.
Apparrently, Apocalyptica promoted ‘Worlds Collide’ in Germany with a sticker on it, saying ‘featuring Rammstein,’ instead of… you know… ‘featuring Till Lindemann of Rammstein‘ and that caused Rammstein to sue Apocalyptica for trademark infringement and Apocalyptica were ordered to pay 45,000€ (about $59,000) to Rammstein.
I don’t want to add anything to this because Rammstein are known to even sue their fansites for ridiculous reasons. Check out a fan made video of Apocalyptica featuring Rammstein Till Lindemann after the jump. It’s a good song nonetheless.
