#schneider is a sweetheart

[notafraidofredyellowandblue]

Schneider interview with The Bosshoss

2020 (first year of the Covid pandemic, but that is only briefly mentioned), Schneider is interviewed by Alec 'Boss' Völkel and Sascha 'Hoss' Vollmer for their radioshow (Alec is also a close personal friend of Alec, you may have seen him and/or his wife Johanna in pictures with the Schneiders).

A little translation from my side into english, because i couldn't find one yet, and because Schneider is just a big sweetheart (like basically all the Rammstein guys are) in it. The Bosshoss (BH) guys tend to interrupt him now and then, but Schneider (S) manages very well to ignore that and finish his own story (many years in the Rammstein democracy training under his belt 😊), so i'll translate their stuff only when they start a new topic (and I'll leave out the initial greeting and goodbye at the end, they are probably selfexplanatory).

--

BH: Was it easy to postpone the Stadiumtour?

S: I'm saying yes, but one saw the situation coming, and we secured dates in time for next year.

BH: You have been playing these really really big venues for a long time, stadiums, football stadiums, what is your favorite stadium?

S: This tour we have only been able to play for one summer, and that was just in Europe, I'm just going to say the best stadium in the world really is the Olympic stadium, that is a really great stadium..

BH: in Berlin?

S: ..possibly it fits us really well, but obviously it's also such a great location for us because we are Berliner and then it's a dream to achieve, finally to make it and play in Huxleys, or to make it to the O2, you know, and like that, step by step, and at some point you get to Die Waldbühne and then the Olympic stadium and.. if you get there at all.

BH: let's talk about you a little bit, you started learning music in an orchestra..

S: I could choose between clarinet, trombone and trumpet, and uh..one I felt was too big, the other too girly and trumpet, well, then I'll play trumpet.

BH: ..the little trumpet-boy Christoph..

S: Yes, so I had my job in the orchestra, und us trumpets, and trombones I think, we sat in directly in front of the percussionists, and I always had a lot of time to watch them during rehearsals and I thought that was cool, I was interested in Rockmusic as well..

BH: So you taught yourself to drum and then Rammstein happened? Or did you learn something properly in between?

S: No, it was like this, I really was inspired by it and at home tried to.. I collected sticks, leftovers from fireworks, Newyear's eve fireworks, really thin sticks. And then I became a self-taught-drummer, I build more and more stuff together in my room, from stools, buckets, musicstands, tried to craft myself a high-hat and played along with the music that I thought was hot.

BH: Are your 'greats' from this period, from that genre or..

S: Well yeah, I like, as you say, I like the straight drummers, the ones who are really in service of the band, the ones who see themselves as backing musicians, the ones who hold back and play what is important. The master is Phil Rudd, ACDC drummer, he influenced me a lot stylistically, he plays so minimalistic, when you analyse it, it is impressive.

BH: Are you nervous, when you play in LA some time, or elsewhere, then, I don't know, Lars Ulrich or Dave Grohl are backstage and look over your shoulder, are you excited?

S: Ofcourse, that's really really bad, for instance when you know .. is there (note: I can't make out the name he mentions) or Dave Grohl, all happened. And I'm not the best drummer..

BH: But it's not about that, maybe technically, but you play exactly the way you should..But Chad Smith thought it was cool? Or didn't he watch you yet?

S: Well, Chad Smith I actually know really well, he's a big Rammstein fan, he visited us often, and he was also with us in our rehearsal room..

BH: What, here at home? The drummer of Chili Peppers happens to be at Christoph Schneider's.

S: Yes, he was in Pankow (note: part of Berlin where Schneider is from, and i think Rammstein practice there too, if I'm not mistaken)

BH: Cool, and I'm always proud that we have a German band who is moving internationally, Goddamn that's a German band, I think that's really cool. Chad Smith eating soup in Pankow. Crazy that.

BH: Du you think it's important, you are all six from East-Berlin, that you are a East-Berlin band, that Rammstein has that background?

S: Ofcourse that's still always there in Rammstein, that rebellious, it was always about being against something, against the system and with Rammstein that is always a part of it, what can one be against, how can you provoke, not go with mainstream, that is a role we took on ourselves.

BH: Is there a band that really inspired you, or was crucial for where you are now?

S: Early on I was inspired by classical music, my parents are from a classical music background. The first rockalbum I heard was a Classic Rock album my parents got as a gift from the west, and then I got into the 70's Hardrock bands, starting with Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, but then something strange happened to me, I had listened to those Rock things for a while, and a lot of Jimi Hendrix and that 70's stuff. And then the 80's arrived with all those new bands, those Spandex bands, and those didn't turn me on, and then I took a turn and got more into the Classic Pop world for a few years, Depeche Mode, that was a different feeling at the time. At the start of the 90's a new 'bad' thing, starting with Ministry..

BH: Ministry, ofcourse..

S: .. and then Pantera, that was the only metalband... for me they were.. that was such an ultimate, banging, that was the coolest metalband ever, and that was a time just before we then started..

BH: Are there musicians who already died who you would have liked to have worked with?

S: That's a good question..

BH: Thank you..

S: ..I would love to do a little side-project..

BH: do something with Bosshoss

S: Yes, we could do something

BH: Right, we did a song of Rammstein once

S: and you did it very well

BH: Mein Land

S: Yes, and I can speak also for my entire band when I say that really impressed us, that wasn't just a remix, you did a coverversion of a song, you translated it and made a real song out of it.

BH: Yes, it was Mein Land, we called it 'My country'

S: That was better than ours..

BH: No, no, no... Well dear friends, listeners of the Rodeo Radio Rock show of Bosshoss here, Christoph Doom Schneider of Rammstein just said Bosshoss is better than Rammstein.

BH: Nightliner or private jet?

S: Well nowadays I'm going to say private jet

BH: Coolest thing is a Sprinter by the way

S: Oh, I know those days too..

BH: Hotel or rather go home

S: Well actually I love a hotel..

BH: Really?

S:.. after a concert I love to go to the hotel, have a little peace and quiet and go to sleep, well not right after a concert obviously, first get down and chill out, but not go home immediately.

BH: David Lynch or Tarantino?

S: David Lynch at the time made Lost Highway and accidently discovered our music and used it in his movie. We were megalomaniacs at the time..

BH: Neubauten or Kraftwerk?

S: I'm going to say Kraftwerk is the band that is closer to my heart, I really love them, I think it's one of the greatest bands ever in Germany, if not the greatest, because they show well everything we are, is so German, and that at a time when there wasn't anything like it. Maybe with Kraftwerk it's the music and with Neubauten the lyrics and their aggression...their consistency in breaking with everything. They also did something nobody did before, so really they are in the same league.

Schneider is such a sweetheart always willing to pose with a fan, so i'll share this one from Gothenburg today 🍀 (and we won't complain about the fanny pack, because that's just really handy for a travelling dad 😊)

(fan mentioned Richard didn't do a photo, but did sign and hug, Olli and Paul went away together i think)

Spiritual successor to this post

Here’s what I think Reverse: 1999 characters would be like in a normal British secondary school

I’ll add extra stuff if I think of anything else to say about them

Vertin

Year 11

NOTORIOUS skipper. Actual miracle if she shows up in class

Usually gets grades 6-8. Actually really smart she just cba to put effort into work/assessments most of the time

Besties with Sonetto since year 7

Usually really quiet and keeps to herself

But she can be an absolute menace to students/teachers alike if necessary

Sonetto

Year 11

Gets grades 7-9. Cries if she gets a 7

Reminds the teacher about the homework

Absolutely would snitch on people without question

Student council, form representative etc.

One of the few people that put their hand up

Matilda

Year 11 (technically Year 10 but she moved up a year)

Also gets grades 7-9 and cries if she gets a 7

I feel like she’d be mistaken for a Year 7 (projecting here sorry Matilda)

Constantly trying to one-up Sonetto in class

I dont think she’d be very popular 😬 sorry girlie

THIS MAKES ME LOOK LIKE SUCH A HATER LMAO I SWEAR I LOVE MATILDA

Medicine Pocket

Sixth form

DO NOT‼️ LET THIS BITCH HAVE ACCESS TO A LAB‼️‼️

Seriously who let them do bio/chem a level

I think they’d do maths/further maths asw

Literally a miracle they aren’t expelled yet

Would try and fuck with the people in the lower years

X

Year 11

Gets grades 7-9 (damn so many nerds)

Honestly kind of a wildcard. Idk whether he’d be one of those smart and relatively popular guys or if he’d be seen as a weirdo

Either way teachers WEEP at the start of the year when they realise he’s in their class

DO NOT‼️ LET THIS BITCH HAVE ACCESS TO THE DT DEPARTMENT‼️‼️

Sotheby

Year 9

Decent grades in everything but really likes chemistry specifically

That one girl who nobody hates. Actual sweetheart

Suuuper loud though

(Not so secretly) loaded

Regulus

Year 11

Gets grade 7 max. Yeah the school system really isn’t for her

Deceptively lonely. Is well-liked and hangs out with loads of people but only has 1-2 real friends

Really loud in class and talks back to teachers without meaning to

Schneider

Sixth form

Not sure what she’d do for her a levels ngl

Would politics be one of them?

There are like. 10 billion wild stories about her and all of them are true

Would be called leng 💀

Despite joining the sixth form from Sicily, she somehow already knows loads of people both inside and outside the school

Vapes. Im so sorry

Hiii

Do you know how Schneider and Ulrike meet? Or anything specific about her ? Im just curious to know

Hi anon! ✨

Ah, Schneider and Ulrike, what a lovely couple! ❤ Before I dive deeper into this topic I'll just say that my knowledge of Ulrike is rather limited. I admit, I was once curious too and spent some time googling her, but the information was rather scarce and I wasn't persistent enough. Both she and Schneider seem to like keeping things private and I respect that very much.

Schneider divorced Regina in 2009, and one of the earliest pictures of him and Ulrike I could find is from 2010. So, supposedly they got together around that time.

Source: (x)

The circumstances of their meeting are a mystery to me and I doubt anyone except for their friends and associates knows how exactly the two met. I also don't know how old Ulrike is, but to me, it seems like she is about 15-20 years younger than Schneider.

Ulrike is a psychologist. She studied at the University of Vienna and has a master's degree in Natural Sciences. Sounds pretty awesome, if you ask me! If you want to know more about her professional journey, you can check this link out.

Schneider and Ulrike got married on July 5, 2014. The wedding ceremony was held at Schloss Ulrichshusen (x). Here are a couple of pictures from their wedding, just look at these sweethearts 🥹

(credits to Steffen Böttcher)

A bit unrelated, but it's always nice to see familiar faces among the guests! In the photo above you can spot Stefan Kretzschmar in the background. He is a professional handball player and a good friend of Schneider. Schneider even made an appearance in the documentary about Stefan :) And here is a picture of Richard's daughter Khira with Ulrike:

There is also another lovely picture that was supposedly taken on the day of Schneider's and Ulrike's wedding 🥰

This year, in just about a month from now, Schneider and Ulrike will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. It might sound weird but the fact that they have been together for so many years really warms my heart. It's always refreshing to see a couple being able to commit, and I wish these two many more years of love ❤✨

Thank you for the ask! If there are some important facts about Ulrike I'm missing, please feel free to add anything I might have overlooked 😌

[satrnretrnsintrlude]

braden schneider rlly is such a sweetheart like the more interviews and stuff i watch hes so ADORABLE AND POLITE AND SO AGGRESSIVELY CANADIAN (in the best way possible)

[withered-rose-unbreakable-lotus]

I tried Reverse: 1999 today and omg I love it. I know it will get harder to not want to uninstall after a while but for now I enjoy it. Favorites so far are:

Mr APPLe, this fine gentleman, yes.

Bunny Bunny, who's actually a bear in battle, but always bunny. The Southern accent killed me, she's such a sweetheart. An oddly enough her story reminded me a bit of Pearl (the horror film. only without the killing.)

Matilda the brat. She's fun and I love her powers. And the French self talk during battles.

Zima, this reserved Russian poet with the tit (the bird, I'm referring to the bird)

and Leilani, the friendly Hawaiian girl that seems to always worry she's in the wrong battle. xD

But the one I am dying to get is the Toothfairy. UGH I'm so intrigued! I want to know everything about her backstory.

There are also characters I wish I had played today but got scared cause their numbers or buffs had me worried I would fail to use them right but absolutely love where they are going with their stories:

All in all 8/10 and totally recommend. Also I'd suggest you played in English cause the voice actors are actually speaking English with the accents of their country which is so fun to me. Although I am still wondering why Schneider pronounced her goodbye as Andio. I'd expect sth more Italian based on what we learn. Anyway.
