Rammstein News

I really didn’t know if to publish this “news”. But after all I decided to write down a little notice: if you want to hear some unusual Rammstein ring tone, just go einslive.de and listen to the number one ring tone (Platz 1: Rammstein). After some time you will hear a spoof of Engel. It is up to you if you like it or not…

Christian Lorenz alias Flake played in GDR times in the punk band Feeling B, later in Rammstein. Now he has a book of tapes, photographs and Stasi reports. WELT ONLINE asked Flake about punk party, occupied houses and the Nazi allegations against Rammstein.

Christan “Flake” Lorenz is keyboardist from Rammstein, he began as a member of the punk band Feeling B.

Who likes Rammstein humorous elements on stage must adhere to Christian “Flake” Lorenz. Flake played that role first during Feeling B era ( “We always wolln artig!”). The band existed from 1983 until 2000, when their singer died.

Flake and the guitarist Paul Landers moved in 1994 to the band Rammstein but Feeling B still continued. They remained a fun-punk band with a strange tendency to medieval folk music.
Who wants to read the whole interview, feel free to do so on welt.de (the article is in German and I don’t have time to translate it)

Richard Z. Kruspe was interviewed by the magazine Talking Metal about the release of the album “Emigrate” overseas. The guitarist has re-stated his desire to make a tour with Emigrate but it will not come as Rammstein will be active. On the next album and tour Rammstein, he said:

“We are waiting for the next record now […] I am confident that we will go to the America in the next round […] We are planning a big world tour. Be patient.”

Finally, Richard is working on a second version of its ESP guitar customized Richard Z RZK.

A book called “Vampire” was published in France. In this book, Till, vocalist of a well-known rock group, is possessed by the spirit of an ancient vampire.

He becomes a murderer, feeding on the vital energy of mortals, or by letting them live by their suggestion worst nightmare, causing orgasm, depending on the circumstance.

And no, you are not dreaming, the writer, Patricia Cornuz, used the real Till Lindemann to build its main character, it has also encountered during a trip to Berlin.

As I have already informed you, radio Goethe interviewed Paul Landers, the guitarist from Rammstein. You can read the whole interview (in German) on following page: radiogoethe.org

Some quotations from the interview:

Radio Goethe: On your DVD “Völkerball” we see the French, British, Japanese enthusiastically sing along your text. How you explain that the concept really works?

Paul Landers: Perhaps because there is no concept. Most suspects behind a man thing, the success has always as a prefix. I like to read biographies of inventors and so on. Many inventions are made accidentally, as the record. Even the good inventions are always accidentally. And our band is now no concept. Our concept - if one of them now wants to speak - was actually, if all shorts, we have long pants, all have long hair, we have short hair, all singing in English, German, we sing. That was really our concept. The fact that we are not the usual paths. Moreover, we are from the East and thereby in relation to the West Germans quite unconcerned what authorities are concerned. So we think now is not if we do it now, it may well be that in the not good. So these alleged anticipatory obedience, we have not correct. And the opposite - times when we tried to be so neatly, it is always to the rear started. So our best recipe is simple. And I can really only guess each. Especially if it is not allowed, it is interesting, and then it usually was. Behind the mountain is always beautiful, as is the sea. And when the confrontation and afraid of the anger, then it remains so lukewarm.

Radio Goethe: When will be the new album released?

Paul Landers: That’s a very good question (laughing). So we are in the process of about 30 ideas in demo mode recorded and in about three weeks there will be the first song as a demo. Then 20 will be junked and then the ten most beautiful will work. I think at the end of the year comes the CD out. We will start probably in the spring with the recording.

Jennifer from forum sent us some very interesting scans of recent magazine issues:

This magizine is called “Hit Parader” and this month they featured best bands live.
Rammstein came in as 96 (They should have been one!) But yea. Here. Closer up to Rammstein.

And I don’t know if this counts but Rammstein was in Hit Parader last year in September/October. I am unsure if these scans will come useful: [1] [2]

And also in the issue of METAL HAMMER which had that Emigrate article they also featured a Apocyliptica article and they talked about Till. Front page of article (no Till), page with Till. close up of Till talk.

And also here is a higher quality scan of that second page of the Emigrate article.

Thank you Jennifer
