Rammstein party 1997 - uncut (part 1) - Viva interview
Unedited footage, which at times is almost like a homevideo (cameraman having a lot of attention for booze and pretty girls), but also contains casual footage of Rammstein mingling (one more awkward than the other) with guests at a party on their behalf after the successes of 'Engel' and 'Du Hast'. The band arrives at abt 11:00 (white limo) and at abt 21:00 it contains an interview with a very goodlooking, relaxed, flirty and giggly Schneider (occassionally almost zoning out 😊 )
In case someone is interested, i did a bit of translation of the Schneider bit..(he's so adorkable i couldn't resist putting the giggles and smiles in 😊)
Interviewer (I): (to the cameraperson) Are you running? Okay .. Somehow seems like a relief today, I mean, for you it has been clear for a long time that the success is there, but today is such a great conclusion, right?
Schneider (S): Like a relief you say..
S: Yes, of course, we have known for a long time that we have practically sold so much that it's gold and .. eh .. and now there finally is the party, we've all been on vacation and .. (laughs) .. one is happy, but it's a bit hectic because .. because you have to say good day to other people and you don't even know who to talk to and eh .. how to say something exactly .. (giggles) .. and eh .. with whom one can talk more closely, it's just a little crazy.
I: Is it somehow still a special day, do you feel that way or is the feeling this..say .. feeling of success with 'Engel'..with the position of 'Engel' in the chart, has that already happened earlier?
S: Yes, we were already happy beforehand, today it's more, actually more of a relaxed party where you .. just don't think about anything .. drink a little and .. well you don't have to do anything, you know ... except give an interview (giggles in the camera)
I: Okay, it will be over soon..Now 'Du Hast' has also entered the charts, straight in at no. 5, now it's starting..are you starting to get a bit spoiled, almost, somehow..?
S: Well, I'd sooner say confused.. I mean, with 'Engel' we hadn't expected that it would be such a high entry into this kind of charts.. because it was new for us as well..and now also with the 'Du Hast' title which... we .. well, is a bit is different from the 'Engel', and to have it enter this high as well.. but of course we are totally happy (stares)
I: Definitely yes, I heard the video shoot was also quite funny somehow?
S: Yes totally funny.. we did that at an airport.. and we.. tried to act out a little maffia story.. fitting to the text we thought.... what do you mean funny...(grins)
I: I heard there was a neat story somehow, that Bravo TV was on location, they were filming as well..
I: .. okay something different .. it is far from over for you, you finally had vacation, because you also had a lot .. you shot the video, you did a tour, but I think in autumn again another tour is starting?
S: yes, in principle .. we now have to prepare for the tour again and eh .. yes that starts in september so ... after the release ...
I: .. for the new album also with the set of new songs..
S: Yes, and then later we go on a bigger tour and on that ofcourse we'll be offering something new, and eh.. we have to prepare accordingly (smile)
I: Now Paul had said to us the latest interview on your last tour in Düsseldorf, he told us .. actually you wouldn't need this whole, as he says, pyro shit, because you are a band that has enough, let's say, bang effects on stage, apart from the pyro, just your music.. There's a pyro show here too.. by now it's also really fun though, isn't it?
S: It's totally fun. It's fun and one eh.. keeps developing, one idea turns into another and at some point you can't get let go, you always want to outdo yourself, and at some point this thing will probably come to an end, you can't .. (giggle) .. set fire to everything .. (laughs) ..but..maybe at some point we'll think of something else, we don't want to be just a showband after all, but..it's basically just.. to a normal concert..
I: From the start you were really a live band because you hardly ever had airplay at the beginning, no radio station dared to play Rammstein, neither did television stations ..
S: Yes..wel.. ofcourse they were cautious and probably still are cautious and..eh..ofcourse we're happy that Viva plays videos and.. but our music doesn't belong on Radio really..
I: ..by being a live band, you are of course much more connected than bands that mainly do TV and radio .. does it work like that between you ..
S: Yes totally well, it's a kind of constellation that works and that's why it's probably also a thing that has become relatively successful because .. that thing about the people that's right .. and eh .. of course there are bands that go in the studio and make a song and then ... do it for radio and television and such, and maybe they go touring much much later and with us we are a live band and .. with us these other things come ... later. . (grin)
I: Bizarre Festival now in Cologne..will you play the new album or still partly the old..
S: We already play.. on our last tour we already played a lot of new stuff and.. to try them out..and ofcourse at the Bizarre Festival we'll play new things as well.
I: Nice..then party on and thank you for being with us..
