OK so Zig Zack music video - Ollie is Harald Glööckler, Till a fucked up version of Liberace. Richard, I think, could be Cosmo Queen of Melrose. Any ideas for Paul, Schneider and Flake?

😄

i'm sure someone has tried to work it out before, but i couldn't find it, so here are my guesses

For Olli Harald Glööckler is a definit yes, we see him in many of the inspiration pics in this behind the scenes photo by Jörn Heitmann

Also in this same pic at the very top, i think we see Donatella Versace and Mickey Rourke, and given that they are two very famous plastic surgery clients, i think a combination of the two for Till's look

As these guys (including Jörn) are German, i wouldn't be surprised if they looked for their inspiration more on the German 'Promi' people, and for Richard thought of one time hearththrob Costa Cordalis (especially when showing the abs), who it seems also has payed a visit to a surgeon at some point

Paul...hmm... i was thinking Wolfgang Joop or Dieter Bohlen but for now my bet is on Siegfried Fischbacher (of Siegfried and Roy) or Thomas Gottschalk (maybe bits of both)

Schneider i'm going with Paul Stanley from Kiss, because of the outfit and i think Mr. Stanley seems to be using a bit of a hairpiece (at least going by this pic of him without)

Flake: i have no idea, to me Flake is always Flake 😊 but maybe they went with the 'Baron of Botox' Dr Fredric Brandt himself

Some addendum to the off-stage topic, since @sechsherzen pointed out some additional coats to me, thank you a lot 🤍

2.7) In the infamous Zick Zack music video, Richard is wearing a coat with zebra pattern (fitting nicely to his guitar in the video) and like with the chicken coat, goes without another outfit underneath (a satirical nod to the youth obsession in show business to show off his "pecks"):

2.8) In the music video for "You can't run away", one of his outfits consists of a fluffy lavender coat (kind of has a Muppet feel to it imo):

2.9) While researching a bit more, I found some more black coats, which I'll summarize under one point:

- the black coat from the 2019 promotion shoot:

- the black coat from the Adieu MV, which is most likely the same one he wore on stage in 2022:

- and the black fur coat from the Deutschland fotoshoot:

By all means *eyes emoji*

Hi 👋

I took this ask as an invitation to figuratively dive into Richard's coat closet, and tried to compile every coat he wore in the last 30 years.

And oh boy, this man surely loves a good coat. He's the one member of this band who consecutively wore a coat on almost every tour and really takes a liking in the dramaturgical effect of wearing long (often times dark in color) coats and later reveiling additional outfits underneath, especially in later years. It fits his somewhat dramatic stage presence and he started quite early with these kind of stage outfits!

I subdevided this overview in two sub-topics to give this post somewhat of a structure, because this will be long.

1.) Richard's coats on stage (organized by year and tour)

1.1) Firstly, the plain black coat from the Herzeleid tour which he wore in 1995/1996. It's from what I could find the first time he wore a coat on stage while playing for Rammstein.

1.2) Addtionally, he wore the shiny red and silver coat during the Herzeleid tour as well as partly on the Sehnsucht tour in 1997. Same as the black coat before, he forwent any additional outfit underneath.

1.3) Also on the Sehnsucht tour, Richard wore the somewhat futuristic (reminded me a little bit of Star Treck costumes) black and silver coat which is clearly visible in Live aus Berlin. It suited the whole style of this era quite nicely and fit into the vibe of Till's cyborg/futuristic jacket as well.

1.4) For his outfit during the Reise Reise tour in 2004/2005, Richard settled for a black military-style coat. The button rows seem to be reminiscent of french military uniforms from the 17th and 18th century (as well as the button lines and the embroidery on the collar of the underjacket) and his pants were designed in a similar style. The lining of the coat is bright red, a theme which would occur numerous times over the years.

1.5) During the LIFAD tour, Richard wore a grey-mottled coat made out of a somewhat leathery material, adorned with silver buttons and a red armband - again he incorporated a red element in this coat, just like with the one before. On a sidenote: He once mentioned that Michael Jackson was an inspiration for this armband because Richard liked the cool look of it - his leg-belts (visible in the right picture) also kind of resemble the harness Michael wore on stage and in some videos during his Bad era.

1.6) An absolute personal favourite of mine: The studded coat Richard chose for the 2013 part of the Made in Germany tour, oftentimes paired with the torn black and red top underneath. This one also got red lining, as well as a fine red line near the cuffs of the coat.

1.7) In 2016 for the Festival tour, Richard wore coat in a more cosy and snuggly style, which marked a break in the clean cut coat-aesthetic up to this point. It was more in the style of a cardigan with a zipper instead of buttons. The armband made a reappearance as the signature red element (mirrored by a red band on his pants), and red lines along the seams added this colourful accent.

1.8) For the 2019 tour leg of the Stadium tour, Richard mixed things up by wearing a two piece combo made out of a leathery material, with a studded cap on the right shoulder and red elements in form of the usual arm band and a red folding in the front. The lower part of this outfit was removable, so the upper part remained as a jacket.

1.9) In 2022, he wore an all black coat with a belt and flaps along the shoulders, as well as snap fasteners as buttons; it overall resembled the typical look of a trenchcoat and seemed less rigid then the previous ensemble.

1.10) A true fandom favourite appeared on the scene in 2022 when he presented the infamous chicken coat. This one was already known from the "Freeze my mind" music video (from 2021) from Richard's side project and other band Emigrate. Different than in the music video, where a vest completed the look, Richard again after years went on stage without any outfit under it. This coat was used by him also during this year's tour leg.

1.11) Another personal favourite of mine is the black coat with red lining which he wore during this year's tour. Affectionatly dubbed "the vampire coat", this coat appears to be quite clean cut and simple, but has a very nice and dramatic effect on him (choosing gifs this time to underline this sentiment).

2.) Richard's coats off stage

Here are some of the coats Richard wore off stage during band fotoshoots and outings. Not counting normal jackets or parcas here.

2.1) The fur-lined coat during the Rosenrot fotoshooting:

2.2) The reoccuring black coat with fluffy fur elements, worn by him while being presented with awards in 2005 in Berlin as well as during the Echo award show in 2009:

2.3) He wore another black coat which looked pretty similar to the one before but is still slightly different during a signing in Paris 2004:

2.4) And a brown/beige kind of trenchcoat was his style of choice for the Fashion rock night in 2009:

2.5) During the outdoor shooting for the LIFAD album, Richard wore another black coat:

2.6) And lastly, the fancy embroidered coat Richard chose for promotion pictures for (I think) his first album with his band Emigrate:

Not sure if I was thouroughly enough and found every coat he ever wore, but I think the presented ones here really express his love for this piece of clothing in general 😊 I'm looking forward to either seeing a new coat on Richard next year or a return of his vampire coat 🦇 (Still hoping to see the studded coat someday again).

Hey 💓 I realized I have an ask, too!

In the Zick Zack video, in the middle, where Till disappears from the stage and Flake tries to patch him up, what is it that Till shouts? It’s not in the song lyrics, and there’s no way I can understand it!

hi @naivenaive (always good to have a non-anon ask 😊)

Just a brief interlude, Till notices his face starts to 'droop' and goes backstage, with Doctor Flake fussing after him.

Till is grumbling at Flake: "Are you serious, just see how this looks"

Flake fusses some more and disappears to the clinic area, Till: "Fix it!"

(On stage the guys are waiting for them to come back, Schneider spots an opportunity he's long been waiting for)

In the clinic Flake is fussing with a liposuction device (to suck out fat).

Till: "Suck out? What do you want to suck out?" and he reaches for the stapling machine.

Flake frets "Wait..wait.." but Till has already stapled his drooping skin back in place

😊

something like that 😊 and now we know why they call Flake 'Doctor' 😄

Flake's editon

Day ten - favorite role in music video

This one! He looked so innocent, so pure, so scare. I bet they made fun of him even long time after. But to me, it looks absolutely cool, this scene is amazing and he is just perfect in it.

From Engel video

Doctor Flake from Zick Zack. This role suit him so much. People did call him doctor for many years, now finally he could be one. Who else would look like this when looking at perfect lady's butt.

From Zick Zack video

Keine Lust "fuck everything" Flake is my favorite one. Especially together with making of video where Joern talking about him, how when he has keine lust, he has absulutely keine lust in anything at all.
