I’m just wondering about his equipment in the mutter tour, i noticed richard used a silver guitar that had a superstrat body and a red guitar that had sort of a ibanez iceman. What are those guitars?

There seem to be lots and lots of questions on how Richard gets the sound he does. But, that sound is really just 2 Rectifiers running in stereo, with active EMG pickups on his ESPs and perhaps some of a boost and pre-eq. I mean, his sound IS the classic Mesa/Boogies Dual rectifier sound, just a bit sharper and perhaps gated a bit tighter. That’s it.

Richard U ROCK. U are the one who inspired me to learn guitar, I fully agree with KRISTINA & SANCHOO. You are one of the best Guitarist i had ever seen.

What makes you very special is the style and grace of playing the guitar. Your solo bits in Songs, just to name a few ADIOS, STIEN UM STEIN, HERZELEID, WEISSES FLEISCH, RAMMSTEIN, AMOUR is just mind blowing and i dont find any adjectives in dictionary to express my profound liking for the way you play.

I was dumbstruck when I saw you playing ADIOS live…. OMG playing the guitar thats on FIRE,,,, Fcking no Guitarist on earth cud do this dude,,,, Richard is the sexiest dude,,,,

PLEASE COME TO PERFORM LIVE IN INDIA,,, WE HAVE FORMED A RAMMSTEIN INDIA FAN CLUB FOR MARKETING RAMMSTEIN IN INDIA,,,, PLEASE COME TO PERFORM LIVE IN INDIA,,,

Hallo. Mein Name ist Christian, aber nur rufen Sie mich an Chris. Ich bin der nicht großer Fan von Rammstein, ich habe mehr zu Green Day. Wie auch immer, ich denke, Sie sind sehr cool und Sie haben eine sehr fett-Gitarre Gruß an mich Christian

Hello. My name is Christian, but just call me Chris. I am ikk the big fan of Rammstein, I have more to Green Day. Anyway, I think that you are very cool and you have a very bold guitar greeting me Christian
