Sometimes ppl are so incredibly funny. A few months back I commented on a post about the German band Rammstein. Everyone was hailing them, but I said what needed to be said: That they’re Nazis and should be treated as such. I have never gotten so many angry replies to anything I said, every single one of them defending Rammstein and telling me I didn’t know shit and that patriotism is a good thing and omg how could I say something like that and that I didn’t know what the term Nazi really means and that one look at my bio made everything clear.

Three things:

First of all - my bio? What part of my bio makes anything clear about my comment? The only thing that makes anything clear is your reaction to my bio… So… ???

Secondly, all the replies to my comment came from countries like the US or Australia, telling me that patriotism is not an issue and that you can love your country blablabla… Like… Have you read about your countries’ history? Have you read the news lately? How can you love countries that treat their minorities like shit and other stuff like that? Probably because you don’t belong to a minority… Well… Also, I’m not sure, but if I remember correctly, the OP of the video is Jewish. Rammstein makes music that’s especially appealing to Nazis, they don’t ban them from their concerts (like other bands do), they don’t speak up against them, there can be seen the “Hitler Gruß” in many occasions in the audience etc… Just fyi. And one person defending them is trans. Guys, Rammstein’s lyrics are all about exclusion. I was rolling on the floor laughing my fat ass off when I saw who defended them.

And last but not least: Guys, don’t sweat it. I will still say Rammstein are Nazis and that patriotism is a bad thing regardless of how disparaging your remarks about my opinion and my bio are.

You know why?

Fun fact: I’m fucking German. I know Nazis when I see them. I went to protests against them when you didn’t even knew what the term “Antifa” means. My grandfather was one until his death in 2014. In some German states these racist, homophobic, patriotic assholes are part of the government. You still see swastika graffiti on the streets, especially near Jewish organizations and stuff.

I am so sick and tired of ppl from countries with a different history than Germany telling me what racism, patriotism, and national socialism look like. In Europe and especially in Germany, these things are taught in schools. We actually deal with our history (or at least try). And whatever is said about Rammstein in their defense is pure window dressing. They have done a lot for better PR, but behind that nothing has changed.

And if you’re still not convinced that they’re assholes, read this article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramstein_air_show_disaster?wprov=sfla1

The band named themselves after this disastrous event that killed 70 people and injured about a thousand. Especially in the beginning, the band’s props and sets at live shows showed burning debris, and the band members’ jackets were often on fire too. Every time somebody criticized them, they said it was a coincidence. Yeah. Sure.

In conclusion: Rammstein are assholes. I don’t like them. Do I tell you to not listen to them? No. It’s your decision what to do. Do I think you’re an asshole too if you listen to them? You bet I do. Am I going to shut up about it? Hell no! So, have fun insulting me for telling the truth, I don’t fucking care.

“Zeit” is almost here – only one week to go! © Bryan Adams @rammmsteinofficial

Rammstein, Kunsthaus Tacheles, Berlin, 02.07.1994.

Fromm OOR, November 2005, interview with Schneider:When the interview can begin on the boat, drummer

Fromm OOR, November 2005, interview with Schneider:

When the interview can begin on the boat, drummer Christoph Schneider and singer Till Lindemann walk along the railing. The two have an animated conversation in which Lindemann in particular reinforces his words with many gestures.

Do you feel that Rosenrot is more consistent? Ultimately, these are leftovers from the experimental Reise, Reise.

“Those aren’t leftovers, but good songs that just didn’t fit Reise, Reise. Many songs had the same character. There were three ballads and you can’t put them on one CD. Two records seemed the most logical thing to do.”

Rosenrot does indeed hatch surprisingly quickly.

"We only had to write five or six new songs: Benzin, Mann Gegen Mann, Spring, Te Quiero Puta and another pop song that was not presented at the listening session. I don’t think the new songs are very different from Reise, Reise. There is not much time between these two albums. If you wait and leave songs on the shelf for too long, you lose the feeling. Maybe you don’t like them anymore or they belong to a different time. Of course, such a song like Te Quiero Puta is also very different… That song would stand out on every CD of ours.’

Whose idea was that anyway?

"Till, though for a while the song was an instrumental that the band loved. We’ve been pushing Till, ‘can you write a text please?’. For us it was a very important song; nice and fast. However, he could never come up with anything appropriate, even gave up. Only at the end did Till suddenly come up with a Spanish text.

What the hell is it about?

Schneider laughs amusedly. "Ask Till…”

(About Mann Gegen Mann) Another typical Till brainchild?

Laughingly: “I can easily say yes. After all, we have already described every form of love. I think it was time we had a discussion on such a subject. Now you can of course ask me if we are all gay…”

Rammstein is not averse to leather, witness the last show.

"None of us are gay. But Mann Gegen Mann’s text does have an interesting approach. It throws a whole new perspective on the subject - at least I never thought about it that way. I mean, Till also came up with a song about hermaphrodites. He always point out a few intriguing things.”

During the recordings of Mutter, the band democracy turned out to be a problem for you.

“It has been this way from the beginning: everyone has the same rights and obligations. There is no leader in the band or anyone whose voice weighs heavier for doing more. When we started we felt that it was possible to write songs together in the rehearsal room this way. Somehow, though, that balance shifted, making certain people… [looks aside] so unmanageable that we had big fights. Some members even placed themselves completely out of it; it didn’t matter anyway. The power struggle within the band was just too bad.”

It was mainly between guitarists Paul and Richard, I understand.

"No, Paul wasn’t the problem. Actually, it was all about Richard, he wanted to control the course of the band. Tried to make all decisions, to contribute his ideas everywhere. Richard was no longer open to changes. He came up with a lot of material and wanted to push everything through. In the end, no one listened to his ideas anymore. Not even to hear if they were good or bad. No, Richard’s ideas were fired in advance because they came from Richard.’

You never had the urge to take control?

“Everyone at Rammstein has that potential in a way, which is very difficult. For example, you may come up with something, develop it and deliver it accordingly. But yes, then the rest will hear it… You can have two men who say that your idea is beautiful and two who don’t like it at all. Then they try to change your idea so that they like it too. During that process you notice that the original concept becomes less and less recognizable. You lose it. But that’s just Rammstein. And that includes this attitude. For some it is easier than for others. The fact that we are a unit is good, everyone feels good about that too, At least for eighty percent of what we do.’

You always look very calm on stage in the midst of all the chaos, and the calm way in which you now tell the story also gives the impression that you are the stabilizing factor within Rammstein. The cement, so to speak.

“I see myself as someone who always guards harmony. I can find myself in that cement; In the end, I’m the drummer that holds everything together. On a personal level I try to understand all the extremes within the band. Sometimes opinions are so far apart that some members can’t make a decision or talk to each other at all. Because I understand both sides, that can sometimes help. I’m a harmonizer, haha!’
