Guitarist vs. Guitarist❤️🖤❤️‍🔥

Du riechst so gut It seems there were issues with the pyrotechnics; the usual fireworks shooting from the guitarists' sleeves were missing—Richard didn't have them at all, and Paul's didn't go off. 🤔😔

"Du riechst so gut" , Rammstein's first music video, was released in August 1995 (August 17, 1995). With a limited budget, a manager instead of a professional director, band members inexperienced in the intricacies of video production, and untrained dogs on set, few were confident the video would be broadcast anywhere. It was only released in 1998 on the single of the same name. Despite all this, the video turned out beautifully, and everyone took Fialik's vision seriously.

Till: In the video, we only used the same expressive elements we'd already used on stage.

Bare torsos, suspenders, black thrift-store pants, and the sweatshirt-inspired look were also noticeable.

We tried to carry that over into the video. Then we oiled ourselves up, which also looked good.

Paul: We thought a video would be like a restaurant meal.

You say, "I'd like one video, please," and that's it. It was only later that we realized that for a video to turn out well and reflect the band's character, we had to work hard ourselves.

Interview with Paul Landers and Oliver Riedel 3.03.2006

Why should people listen to this record (Rosenrot)?

We are so relaxed that we approach it quite casually; the result is a calmer record.

Ultimately, these were the songs that made the cut—very tender and melancholic ones.

We can move on to the issue of homosexuality and sexuality in general, as discussed in the album.

Sexuality drives the entire world, so I think everything you see and do is related to sex.

For example, no one would go to a disco if there was no sex, or at night, or to a restaurant if they could eat there, but from now on...

From 11 p.m. on, there won't be any bars, for example, and no music will be playing. Why would I care?

It's also important to note that these songs need to reach people because of the shame they evoke.

Before we move on, there needs to be something boring, something new, and so on, that just occurred to me.

I've always enjoyed festivals where, for example, we're not headlining, where other bands are playing on a different floor.

What is Rammstein like?

A big oil tanker, cruising the world's oceans, and if it ever needs to change course, it has to start preparing a week in advance so it can then round the bend.

We didn't get what we wanted, but we knew exactly what we didn't want: simply copying other bands. That was the trend at the time.

We're imitating American bands, it's a crossover, and we were trying to find our own identity, and you can probably see that.

LAIBACH : FOUR DECADES OF PROVOCATION - NOW DRESSED IN POP

tabularasamagazin.de

Markus Hofmann: Laibach has been around for over 40 years.

Years. What's your secret to constantly improving without losing the essence of your creative identity?

Laibach: We remain faithful to one method over another.

A fixed style. Laibach has never been defined by any single musical genre, visual language, or political context. Our identity lies in how we process this material: through appropriation, transformation, over-identification, and confrontation.

The world is constantly changing, and with it the forms of ideology, technology, and popular culture. Therefore, we alter our appearance to reflect the present, while the underlying mechanism remains unchanged. In this sense, Laibach doesn't constantly reinvent itself, but rather reconstructs itself again and again from the same genetic material.

Perhaps the real secret lies in the fact that we never considered Laibach a finished project. It is an open system, and as long as the contradictions that created it remain, there will always be reason for it to take on a new form.

Memories of Prague, the Fleco café, and the first acoustic guitar bought for resale.

About democracy in a group or how difficult it is for six captains to steer a ship.

About Pussy: My daughter even laughed when I showed her this video, and she just laughed. It's funny, you know.

Everyone makes a big deal out of it, but it's just...funny.

How to come to a Christmas party with one gift and everyone will be happy.
