dimmir á jørð so fríða

Hi 👋🏻

Had to think for a bit about where to look for this hint, but sure enough, I find it at Alec Völkel's IG:

Caption reads: "A birthday party is serious business! Whoop whoop to the one and only @christophschneider_official We love you! ❤️🥳🤟"

Oliver is known as the quiet, reserved anchor within the Rammstein dynamic - someone who enjoys living in his own world and comes across as gentle and shy. And yet, his interviews (as rarely as they are) are truly fascinating and offer the reader a chance to get to know Olli and his perspective on things a little better. Here's a small selection:

Break-Out:Did you have a lot of problems with your parents? Oliver: Not a lot at all. My parents are quite young, which is good. Because the age difference isn't that big, we had it good with each other. My father and mother also liked the same music as me. We were almost more like friends the family. (Break Out Interview, 2002. Very interesting since he talks a lot about his childhood and youth)

HR : There is a real Rammstein paradox : your brutal, violent, aggressive side, and at the same time all this derision, your humor. Can you explain this particular approach? Oliver: Maybe this paradox stems from our origins. We come from the former GDR, grew up in a totalitarian system, with state structures like the Freie Deutsche Junge, which was compulsory. It is completely paradoxical to baptize an organization in which it was forbidden not to take part. To survive in such a murky environment, it was necessary to develop a little humor ! (Hard Rock interview, 2001, together with Richard)

Metal Hammer: Which country most often misunderstands us? Oliver: I would have to say Germany is the country that most often misunderstands us. Germans are very repressed in a lot of ways. They feel a sense of shame about what happened in the war. This means a lot of bands and a lot of people are quite cowardly in what they do and what they say. So they’ll pick up on the fact that our singer rolls his r’s and say that he’s imitating Hitler and that we’re Nazis. This is nonsense, but this is the way a lot of people in our country think. But we think that we are not responsible for what our fathers and grandfathers did. It was not our fault. We have no blood on our hands. We ourselves have nothing to be ashamed of. (Metal Hammer, 2005, together with Till)

Break Out: Your tours have meanwhile turned into really bombastic material battles. Aren't you tired of this? And how do you deal with it on the months-long journeys? Oliver: Despite the great success and the long tours, everything is fine internally, because the standard that we now have on tour means that each and every one of us has our freedom and we can pursue our personal wishes and concerns. So the whole thing is very pleasant and that makes touring a lot of fun again. (Break Out 2005)

Here's me and my little depressed sidekick Punpun (from the manga "Oyasumi Punpun", highly recommended):

I couldn't decide, so I'll just post several of these - because boi, if that's not Richard:

And also this:

I'll just leave these brilliant quotes here 🤡

Your Result:

Piano

Everyone does - or at least everyone should - learn how to play the piano when starting to learn music. It's a very complicated instrument that you find everywhere and that welcomes players of any skill level. You're the type of person who has a bajillion tabs open at once. You're a dedicated person. When you find something or someone that matters to you, you pour your heart and soul into it. People see you as a talented person. Don't work too hard - remember you owe it to yourself to rest.

I can't play any instrument irl :')

Tho I always wanted to learn how to play the piano and guitar!!

i cant play any instrument irl tho i wish i could play guitar

This was fun!!

I think this describes me quite well actually! Apart from being an extrovert, I'm definitely not. But I do enjoy being with people, I just have a limited social battery.

guess who figured out how to tag on mobile
