Elliot Rodger , the perpetrator of the Isla Vista killings in May 2014 , was also a fan of Rammstein according to his YouTube records . On a lyric video of Mein Herz brennt , Rodger wrote : " G reat song to listen to while daydreaming about being a powerful ruler " . Even though Rodger wrote in his manifesto that he wished to become a dictator and punish all the people who rejected him , there was no direct link found between the band 's music and the killing spree . Santa Barbara police later confirmed that Rodger 's main motivations were sexual and social rejection
