What do you think are the most underrated Rammstein songs?
You’re shooting me the best questions as of late my friend!!!
Well, first I’d say Adios from Mutter. What it says and how it says it gets under my skin. Nichts ist für dich, nichts bleibt für dich.
Then, Reise Reise (from Reise Reise, lol). Struggling and real. Also Amour from that album.
The whole of Rosenrot imho. There’s so many poetic songs like Wo bist du and Stirb nicht von mir.
Thank you!!!
What's the foam like during Pussy? Does it make clothes and stuff actually wet or? Asking so I know if I can go to the standing area if I see them 😂
Lol, yeah, I forgot to tell about the foam! It was sticky and smelly and I was scared that my fancy jacket was going to get ruined. 😂😂 And yes, it was wet, like a snowstorm in the middle of July.
In Tallinn, there also was a hilarious security guard who was completely covered by the foam and the white paper thingies after Pussy and he just stood there and laughed.
What exactly does Flake mean that Richard is the only rockstar in the group because I'm pretty sure that Till is a rockstar too.
Well, I can only speculate, but this is the entire quote from Heute hat die Welt Geburtstag:
“One of our gitarrists wasn’t that interested in magazines and instead always took a big guitar on board the stewardesses fought with when trying to accommodate it. They came to the conclusion that there had to be a famous guitarist on board. They were right even. Richard is the only real Rockstar amongst us. Those long coats he prowls in through the streets only suit him.”
What I think he means here in his typical Flake way is more down to personality. And then you have to consider what even a Rockstar is. I think from a popularity and the whole girls and jets around the planet thing point of view one could even argue Till is the bigger Rockstar even. They’re selling out stadiums in under an hour, technically they all are. But it used to be more than that, I think.
I am romanticizing this so take with a huge grain of salt, because it’s something I personally fell in love with years ago when it comes to this kind of music, and that I think is sadly a bit dead, (you could argue through letting fans get too close for the mystery to stand like he says), they same way guitar music as a whole is a bit “dead” (and that’s an entirely different sort of conversation). Being a “Rockstar” I think was always about this extremely individualistic stance of a person going on stage, and showing a side of themselves most people would be afraid of showing or even discovering about themselves, and it creates a certain charisma that is very difficult to put in words and impossible to have if you’re not that way as a person naturally. You can’t fake it, if that makes sense. And I don’t think Rammstein as a whole have this that much. I mean Till writes poetry, that on it’s own might do that, but then he wraps it in spectacle, almost like he’s covering it back up. Or it’s in a book and you can’t even see him. Not that they don’t have charisma, but it’s different, it’s the whole unit/impenetrable force thing more than the, for lack of better word, temptation of a beautiful devil. If you look at Mick Jagger singing Sympathy for the Devil, which for me and I think for many classic Rock fans is the definition of a Rockstar, it’s exactly that, it’s look I am deplorable, I’m not even playing it, but you can’t look away and you can’t help finding it beautiful, so beautiful that you start thinking it’s not that bad after all. We infact got so used to seeing it that I think sometimes that same thing almost looks cringy today, because it is so open and honest in a way. That tension is something I think “Rockstars” have always played with. Don’t forget that we are talking about a concept that I think Flake would relate to in a way of 40 years ago, when alot more was still offensive. Till’s charsima isn’t like that, it’s in a way less sneaky and slippery if that makes sense. It doesn’t mean it’s less intense, it’s just a different colour, do you understand what I mean?
I feel a bit self important because I have used this exact sentence in a fanfic to describe it, but it’s all about snorting glitter and then the glitter makes your eyes water and smudges your mascara and it’s a beautiful, painful, mess. When I think of stereotypical Rockstars I think of Mötley Crüe and Guns N Roses and AC/DC and the Rollings Stones, oh and Lemmy! and it’s always like these guys are seeking out these extreme lifestyles in order to have a story to tell and to sing about again, like they are perpetuating their own story that way,and Richard has admitted that he sometimes seeks out pain or creates problems in order to be creative, and I think in a way it’s that. I do think Till does that too in a way, but I also buy that he would be happy growing apples all year. Richard needs to dance on the edge of a knife to be content.
I think people don’t see it in him necessarily, because we connect that sort of charisma with a certain elegance he doesn’t have a lot of the time, I mean he is also an unfortunate dumbass and a nerd, which is adorable. But the thing is, he’s also this, and Till just ... isn’t.
Plus, as a bonus, there is always this:
I remember when i first "saw" you it said "I have no favorites" but now its hard to not notice you have one. And one i like a lot, too! Tell us how did Flake find the way into your heart. Step by step :)
It is a little obvious, isn't it xD
Well, I was shown a really fun monthly "fandom" challenge thanks to @derwahnsinn that actually fits perfectly with explaining how Flake found his way into my heart. So, I'll be posting that with explanations for how my interest was piqued and then my appreciation grew.
Thank you so much for this ask, Tinnike! <333

Hi 🤗 thank you for the asks and have a good day !
19. Favorite stage costume each member has worn?
Till and Flake (reise reise tour 2004/2005)
Schneider and Ollie (european stadium tour 2019)
Paul and Richard (made in germany tour 2012)
22. Favorite photo of Paul? If you can’t post it, describe it.
25. Favorite photo of Flake? If you can’t post it, describe it.
(sorry for the terrible quality of these photos. And all credits go back to their owners)
You came home after a long exhausting day at work, everything's normal except... Your gummis bears are missing. The eater is sleeping on your sofa, some gummy bears are around him and the smol mess he made. Till smiles in dreams and moves a little to adjust his position, would you forgive him?
HE WOULD BE FORGIVEN IMMEDIATELY AND A PILLOW AND BLANKET WOULD BE BROUGHT SO THAT HES NOT UNCOMFORTABLE SLEEPING
What are your favorite Rammstein friendships and why?
All of Rammstein is a lovely family, so all of them. But especially:
Till/Richard – I mean…friendship, sure. You know, how friends raise their children together, and steel cows together, and rub each other’s tiddies, and imply they give each other hand jobs, and defend each other from everyone, while growing into better people over their lives together. Friendship.
Till/Flake – The trust that Flake has in Till. The protective aura Till has for Flake. I think Till makes cranky Flake soft, and Till loves how important he is to Flake. I just adore them.
Paul/Schneider – Why do I get the feeling that when Paul and Schneider get together, mischief levels go through the roof? It’s just speculation on my part, but I see Paul and Schneider as getting exponentially more silly when together.
Paul/Richard –They’ve overcome a lot of differences and disagreements to get where they are. Watching them be so close with each other this tour has been a highlight. Richard stated that he’s been going through some life stress lately, and it’s clear to everyone that Paul is THERE for him, at least on stage. The kissing is, I think, fanservice. But the hugs, the hand holding, the cuddles, and casual touching? The love is real.
Who do you think Till has a stronger bond with at the end of the day, Richard or Flake?
Definitely Richard. That isn’t to say that he doesn’t have an incredibly strong bond with Flake. He certainly does but his friendship with Flake is comparatively uncomplicated. It’s pure love and adoration. His relationship with Richard is so much more intense and has so many layers. It also has teeth. They’re best friends and brothers but they’re also something beyond that. Two sides of the same coin. They are also literally family with their eldest daughters being sisters who share a Mother and Richard’s daughter Khira-Li bears Till’s surname.
Together they have raised their daughters,fought neo-Nazis,shared homes, suffered and starved,committed crimes,consoled each other during times of heartbreak, partied, created music, and became global superstars.
They have so much shared history in common too. I’d expand upon that but I’d like to leave it for another post. I think that their shared experiences, painful and traumatic as they are, have only strengthened their bond.
Thank you for the ask, Anon.
