Laichzeit, Live aus Berlin, 1998

[lozerboylucas]

Workin on a little something..

They are getting transed. They are getting forcibly feminized. Because I have the power to do so.

Not only that but this is actually the second time I'm doing this, the first version just sucked ass so I'm remaking it.

[lumenveritatis]

The vibe tonight ladies!!😊

[korbeniki]

Reference to the R+ song Laichzeit. Fishy fish :DD

[manngegenmann]

My dream setlist would see the return of:

Mann Gegen Mann (of course)

Haifisch

Wilder Wein

Feuer Frei

Laichzeit

Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen

Stein um Stein

Who else would like to see any of these appear ?

[laguera25]

Songs I'd love to see on the 2024 Rammstein tour setlist:

-Sehnsucht

-Pussy

-Dicke Titten

-Donaukinder

-Laichzeit

-Los

-Stripped

I'm pretty sure "Sehnsucht" will stay on the setlist. The others are longshots.

Orkus - 1997, interview with Paul (and Ollie)

Thanks to Ramjohn for the scans!

Rammstein is on everyone's lips again, adorns all the covers and is already on a big tour again. So reason enough to take the opportunity to do an interview with Paul Landers (guitar) and Oliver Riedel (bass) at the Munich Kempinski Hotel.

Orkus: You have great success. Do you still have wishes or dreams?

Oliver: We are currently fulfilling that by doing a tour in America at the end of the year. These are our next wishes and goals.

Orkus: Who would you like to tour with in America?

Paul: I would like to take a band that draws a wide audience and performs in halls that hold like 10,000 people.

Orkus: Can you think of a name for that?

Paul: No, I don't know. We're going on tour with KMFDM. So we took them with us to Germany.

Orkus: Do you want to translate the lyrics into English for the tour and the success abroad?

Oliver: We keep thinking about whether we should do it, but then we keep noticing that foreigners are so into the German language.

Orkus: Have you ever thought about how young people react to your lyrics, how they might take them literally?

Oliver: In principle, there is no danger. If so, they're already crazy.

Paul: This isn't the first time we've been asked this question. This danger also exists with horror or action films. You assume that our lyrics propagate violence, which is not true at all. And even if we did advocate violence, someone wouldn't do anything violent unless they had the urge to do it first. And then he would get the inspiration somewhere else. Maybe ‘Heirate mich’ got more people married? Should be checked... or at 'Laichzeit'; the frogs really got going that year... (laughs)

Orkus: What is the meaning of 'Du has(s)t'?

Paul: It's about all sorts of things. Everyone has their own images in their heads. We had other ideas for the lyrics, but we chose this one because it had the best 'melody'.

(So, so, but we heard that Till is coming to terms with his past in this song, but well...)

Orkus: And what about the video? Does that also have 'no' message?

Paul: Everyone sees it the way they want.

Orkus: Where did you get the idea for the 'Engel' video?

Paul: Our video company said — at the time the Prodigy video with the two rooms was up (Breathe) — we have an idea, we see two rooms, window in the middle. On the left you are in 10 cm oil, on the right the angels in white clothes and there the camera goes back and forth. And we said: "Well, let's not do that.”

We sat down and made up our own minds. A video is also a question of money and we then implemented 70% of our idea. We just wanted to reshoot the end of 'From Dusk till dawn'. Maybe it was stolen shabby, but we didn't do it consciously.

Orkus: When Flake gets the dancer's foot in his mouth; did you have to persuade him to do it, or did he enjoy doing it?

Paul: He didn't enjoy it at all. The scene that looks so funny in the video lasted 2 hours. It was very cold in the room. The tequila substitute was apple juice, so over the course of the evening he had about 100 gallons of apple juice downed on his lap, which wasn't much fun afterwards. Flake has to do things that no one else dares to do. He's actually the bravest of them all. Same with the boat at ‘Seemann’. Where he is carried by the audience with this boat. No one else dares to do that either, and he has nothing to do in this song anyway — so it makes sense.

Orkus: How come you're suddenly being played on VIVA again?

Oliver: VIVA didn't want to broadcast us until we were in the charts. And they thought we'd never get on the charts.

Paul: VIVA now stands as the 'Good Uncles'. In fact, they aren't. They didn't play us at first and the video for 'Engel' was initially rejected. MTV played us with 'Seemann' first, but at a time when nobody was awake. So you paid extra attention. But for VIVA, they just jumped on a moving train.

Orkus: What did you think of the television appearances you did?

Oliver: I think we don't do that that often anymore. We come across as so lax because we couldn't decide how we would be filmed there. We always try everything and didn't know that television sucks. But we definitely tried.

Orkus: How has Rammstein changed your private life? For example, do you have less time?

Paul: I've never had time. What has changed is that I now take my phone number from the phone book.

The real friends are there, and it's the same there as always. They know you, they know how you are, they are happy or suffer with you, everything is fine there. And then those who don't know you. They always see you as a Rammstein member and praise you. (Below or above the waistline?) They envy you, and actually only see success and then think you've become weird. Because of the success, the people around you want to see you differently, and that's pretty tough. You're being pushed into a position you don't want to be in. The success of Rammstein came more by accident and unplanned. And we didn't have to bend over backwards or make compromises. And our friends know that too.

Orkus: You all have children, don't you?

Paul: Nah, two don't have children...

Orkus: Then I hope you're not the two.

Paul: Yes, unfortunately it's us, but we can answer for the others.

Orkus: Alright. What would you wish for your child?

Paul: ... that's too complicated for me, to be honest ... that it doesn't get sick? ... And then what do we wish for? ... I wish for my child that the mother doesn't buy so many toys. But she does anyway.

... we don't have a good answer to that, we have to think about it longer ... the question is too good for us. write that!

Orkus: Okay, continue. Is there life after Rammstein?

Paul: We firmly believe that it may be over in six months or a year. In that respect I'm looking forward to it, because my life was good even before Rammstein and will be good afterwards. I'm really looking forward to the second record. We have just as many problems as before, just of a different kind. Our problems lie in maintaining the good mood internally. Success affects you more or less. You just have to recognize the problems and come up with a solution for them.

Orkus: Do you also have problems with each other?

Paul: No. Or shall we not say more or less than usual. The band is like a relationship and everyone knows what happens there. The relationship to each other is different after a month than after 3 years.

Orkus: Did you actually meet?

Paul: We are friends. 5 were friends, or 6. But one with one wasn't. And now everyone with everyone, except for a few. So they were friends with someone else.

Orkus: Uh, how???

Paul: Well, as an example, I was friends with Flake. I always relaxed with Till at the weekend when I felt like it. We went to swim. I was friends with Richard and with Schneider, our drummer. The only one I wasn't friends with was Oli. But Oli was friends with Richard again.

Orkus: Now I get it. What do you think of bands emulating Rammstein?

Paul: Unfortunately I don't know any, but I would listen to the CD with interest. I'm a little happy about it, because when you're imitated, it's like praise.

Orkus: Do you actually want to change your style, do something different?

Paul: Yes, but we already wanted to with the second record. That's probably the music that's inside of us. We try it with another producer or another studio. I don't want to compare us to Picasso, but he also had his style when it came to painting. We also have a certain style, but when we started we were constantly compared to the Krupps and Laibach. The music like Krupps, singing like Laibach. In this respect, what we do is not that unique.

Orkus: The artwork on the new album immediately reminded me of Marilyn Manson. Do you know why?

Paul: The photos were taken when nobody knew Manson. That was over a year ago. I would also compare us to a Prussian military band and Marilyn Manson to a gay and lesbian satanic band. I don't see any similarities there and, to be honest, I think his image is better than ours.

Orkus: Finally, let's do a short brainstorming session. What do you think of when you hear the following words: East / West?

Paul: Too bad.

Orkus: ….

Paul: Oh, I have to answer with more than one word?

Orkus: Would be nice, yes.

Paul: Mmh, the best things don't come to mind until the next day. So east/west is like husband and wife, which is better? Nobody knows for sure...

Look, I grew up in the east, you can't end that with a bang. It might take 40 years, then it'll be the same again, but until then... My son will be more Western than me.

Orkus: Aha, so you do have a child after all?

Paul: Yes...

So look, it's all natural. You are a victim of your environment, everyone is like that. The people of Munich, for example, are different than Berliners, and the people of Hamburg are different again.

Orkus: Backstreet Boys?

Paul: We have the same bus driver.

Orkus: Drugs?

Paul: No more or less than other people in the area, as now non-amp musician consumption. It flares up at times, but in principle average or even below the average of the normal population.

Orkus: Respect?

Paul: You usually have it wrong in front of people. Or anything.

[ireallyamnotgay]

Random ask but do you have any music recommendations?

- @riotsnrebellion

Ooh, yeah. If you mean bands then probably Leathermouth or some Rob Zombie.

There's still a lotta songs I listen to that I don't necessarily like the band, like Laichzeit or Ride the Lightning.

[ace-of-hearts-and-spades]

Got tagged by @ventiswampwater to list 5 songs I've been obsessed with lately. Thank you my friend!! 🥰💞

🐟 Laichzeit, by Rammstein (x)

Girl help I can’t stop listening to this song about fish which I’m also 90% sure is a metaphor for fucking. I’m limiting myself to one Rammstein song for this, or else all my answers would be Rammstein songs lmfao.

🍪 Nookie, by Limp Bizkit (x)

It’s a nu metal classic for a reason, okay? It’s fun!! Definitely my favorite LB song.

🚨 Battle Ready, by Otep (x)

RAAAAAAAA THIS SONG MAKES ME WANNA FIGHT AND BITE AND MAIM AND KILL. I fuckin love Otep bitch. This is my kinda queer music!!

💀 Suffocate City, by The Funeral Portrait & Ice Nine Kills (x)

I’m not familiar with the Funeral Portrait but INK is what got me back into metal as an adult, so I’m a sucker for pretty much anything they do.

🧩 SAW/TRAP, by Jackson Rose (x)

Literally just discovered this song earlier today but. Dude. I’m obsessed. Blame the Saw hyperfixation idc, this goes hard.

No pressure tags: @visceravalentines, @eggsandbeer, @ace-disgrace-on-the-case, @thequeerestdad, @slaasherslut, and anyone else who'd like to share some music! :3

[a-lost-daemon]

The corpus of Rammstein's discography spans decades, providing a wide variety of expression of masculine sexuality in their lyrics from the profound to the disturbing. 'Laichzeit' or 'Spawn Time', 'Bueck Dich' or 'Bend Over', 'Herzeleid' or 'Heartache', and 'Du Reichst So Gut' or 'You Smell So Good' provide a spectrum within merely titles of four songs from their first two albums. Later work continues this brutally honest subject matter, their lyrics when taken as poetry revealing deep introspection and wild affront, violent offense and romance and all the imaginable spectrum between all present at once. With this perspective it is possible to view the entirety of the lyrics of their body of work, and that of frontman Till Lindemann's solo work, as a fascinating lyrical look into male eros. In this essay I will

[nyarisu]

Ok, so. The Rammstein concert from Budapest 07 July 2023: I presumed the setlist would be the same as the last year so Rammlied and Bestrafe mich were a fucking suprise (“Wer wartet mit Besonnenheit” damn right, this was the lucky third attempt to see the guys and it worked out for me in the end), I didn’t see them that well because I was quite far away but I could admire the amazing light and fire show, everytime the towers went off I felt like being near a big ass firecamp, the whole stage structure was fucking amazing

and did I mention Bestrafe mich??

The only way this could have been even more perfect would have been with Laichzeit and Mutter on the setlist as well and my Top 5 would have been complete!

And! Before the concert they had a playlist over the speakers with their own songs and I did get to hear both Amour and Eifersucht<3 They are not that well known and obscure enough to suprise me again, even if it was just a playlist.

This is not to mention the insane amount of screaming and headbanging I did. I actually couldn’t see half of the show because my hair was always in my eyes XD I almost brained myself a few times with the metal handrail in front of me, that’s how hard I headbanged!
