1000% True Rammfact Of The Now

Olli, the Godly being that he is, is the reincarnation of many things, one of them being the Bering Land Bridge that once connected Alaska to Russia's Far East.

Olli threatens to sue the next fan that asks him to "drop the bass."

Assuming that enough legal power is eventually acquired, Oliver Riedel is prepared to go through with a lawsuit against the next Rammstein fan that asks him to "drop the bass."  A very upset Riedel spoke with a journalist at his home in Schwerin last month in concern with the imminent lawsuit.

"I'll have these idiots come up to me at a meet and greet or somewhere out in public and they'll be like "Hahaaaa heeeeey Olli, drop da bass!".  Just the other day, I'm out having a picnic with my family and some jerk comes up to me and tries to high five me saying "Heyyy bro, drop the bass!" and I literally had to stop myself from breaking his nose."

Divulging into more detail, he explains: "At first I was like "Why do you want me to drop the bass? Do you even know how much one of these things cost?" I mean, I'm very well off, don't get me wrong, but if I had to drop the bass every time I was told to, I'd be bankrupt trying to replace them.  Then I go online to do my research and find out it's a dubstep reference.  Do you know how sick this makes me? Do you know how angry it makes me that people are trying to compromise my wealth by trying to be punny? I don't even like dubstep! Do I fucking look like I listen to Skrillex?  Fuck."

When asked if the same consequences were to apply if any of his band mates were to make the request, he simply answered "Ask Schneider what happened to him the last, and only, time he said it.  They know better now."

If you have ever wondered why Ollie has not been in as much interviews as the rest of the band, it is because Ollie has a very inhuman vocal range.  He is capable of singing notes so high that it shatters windows on submarines and spaceships, and notes so low it causes anybody within a 3 mile radius to soil themselves.

Fortunately for Olli, he has used his unusual talent to his advantage.  When the band is not touring or recording, Olli works at malls across Germany as a human Mosquito Alarm, which has decreased youth loitering, vandalism and shoplifting by 40% in some shopping centers.
