Influences: -Martial music ____________________________________________________________ ________ Some early material by Laibach and later neoclassical releases by the band—such as the Macbeth release—were influential on certain artists within the martial music genre. ____________________________________________________________ ________-Rammstein ____________________________________________________________ ________ The popular German musical group Rammstein has acknowledged influence by both the aesthetic approach and some Laibach material. When members of Laibach were asked by an interviewer about Rammstein "stealing" from them, they responded that "Laibach does not believe in originality… Therefore, Rammstein could not 'steal' much from us. They simply let themselves get inspired by our work, which is absolutely a legitimate process. We are glad that they made it. In a way, they have proven once again that a good 'copy' can make more money on the market than the 'original.' Anyhow, today we share the territory: Rammstein seem to be a kind of Laibach for adolescents and Laibach are Rammstein for 'grown-ups.'"
