Falscher Schmetterling

Till and Andreas Berg, vocalist of the Swedish band Deathstars, which served as the opening act during the MIG tour in 2011. Gdańsk/Sopot, November 15, 2011, Ergo Arena. I read the tour diary; they had a really fun time and hung out with Rammstein. It was during this tour that Kat (Eric Bäckman) and Till had a slapping contest. In Stuttgart, Deathstars failed to pay their tab for food and drinks at the club, holing up backstage at yet another Rammstein party. In Zurich, they grabbed a few bottles and joined Till in his dressing room, where he had shut himself away with friends and family. It took Deathstars just half an hour and a bottle of tequila to overturn the drinks table, strip down, and start wrestling. In Berlin, following their concert at the O2 World Arena, Rammstein and their crew took the group to a large beer garden and treated them to food and drinks. When Skinny (Joonas Kangur) realized he didn't have any cash, he started looking for an ATM but soon ran into Christoph "Doom" Schneider, who offered to lend him 50 euros.The next day, he was reminded of the loan from Christoph. When he went to him to return the money and express his thanks, Christoph replied, "What loan?" He was clearly drunk as well.😉😅

Richard needs to smoke one more cigarette.😉😘

Paul is smiling so sweetly at someone, and Oliver is signing posters with such concentration that the tip of his tongue is even sticking out.😉

February 2001 – Rammstein and Placebo. This could have happened at the Australian music festival Big Day Out. At the time, both bands were headlining the festival and could have crossed paths in a less formal setting.😉

This photo is from Pinterest; it was likely taken on February 28, 2010, at the Olimpiysky Sports Complex in Moscow. Following their massive concert in Moscow—part of the world tour supporting the album—representatives from the record label Universal Music Russia presented the musicians with this commemorative award.

Patrick Hellmann (1954-2024) was a Moroccan-born German designer who trained in the United States and created a chain of fashion houses in many countries, bringing back the chic and popularity of the hotel, whose history began in 1914.

The Schlosshotel was acquired in 2014, and Patrick brought a contemporary couture spirit to the classic legacy of Lagerfeld (one of the hotel's previous owners), while preserving the historic frescoes from 1914.

Till attended the opening of the famous GQ Bar in 2017.

This photo features Sascha Vollmer, a member of the German country rock band The BossHoss.

In 2018, the GQ Men of the Year event—which honors outstanding figures in music, design, film, and sports—took place at the Komische Oper. Although Till was not nominated, he enjoyed himself at the exclusive after-party held at the GQ Bar in the Patrick Hellmann Hotel.

The photo was taken during the after-party for the 2018 GQ Men of the Year Awards ceremony in Berlin.

It has not been possible to definitively identify the man next to Till—suggestions range from a Swiss writer or a Polish actor to Hellmann’s assistant.

All these awards ceremonies are so boring and monotonous 😉; it’s far more pleasant to spend the evening in lovely company.

Lindemann is in the company of Katharina Stumke, about whom there is no specific information; she is not an actress, model or musician, just a spectacular woman who loves to hang out in high society.

In 2007, Rammstein were just guests at the ceremony, but they weren't sad about it.😉

Host: It's been a quiet evening for you; it's rare that this band isn't nominated or performing. This is a completely new situation for you; how will you handle it?

We'll handle it and get drunk...😍😅

Paul: How do you like my hat, isn't it cool?😅

Host: This is a message after some confusion this year about Till's departure and all that, but you're working on a new album.

Yes, it was fake news from an American website, and everyone seemed to be grateful for it, but we're still here at this time.

We were just in the middle of pre-production and didn't even notice when all the phones started ringing, and we thought, "What's going on?

Ohne Dich , Brussels 5.08.2023

Unfortunately, almost no photos or videos from this concert survive. One interesting example is the song "Wilder Wein," during which, unlike the Made in Berlin concerts, Rammstein appeared in long white coats, while Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers played acoustic guitars. I'd love to see them in white coats.

A few words from Richard before the concert by the Russian band Aria, which performed at the Knach Club in 2004 (Berlin).

Rammstein on Reality Chek TV (Mutter Tour Era)

We played one day a week in the basement of our house, and we made noise.

We tried to be bad and dirty, and after a year, people told us...

"We like this. We don't like other bands, regular good bands. We like this project."

They hoped to entertain America. But when they arrived, they realized that Americans, like everyone else, expect entertainment and hope for something interesting.

It was hard growing up in East Germany. There were standards set by these people, and they were only...

about 1.20 meters tall. It was hard to get any taller.

We never discuss lyrics, even in German. Not even in German, because everyone can sing whatever they want, and our

lyrics... they can be interpreted in different ways.

Never say we mean it. We said what you think. And it's always different from what we think.

At the beginning of the Rammstein show, we didn't do anything. We just stood on stage,

the singer gets bored, and We started slowly setting things on fire.

Our first experience with fire was when we doused the audience with gasoline.

We laid a gas pipe and carried it through the hall, because at the beginning...

We had about 30-50 people at the concert, and there was enough space

to organize it all.
