  • Hidden Track!:

    Zitat

    According to several rumors, a hidden track is available on the next album "Liebe Ist Für Alle Da". It would suffice to rewind the CD after the launch of the first song "Rammlied" to listen to a text entitled Till "Schäferlied"


    One technique that recalls the album "Reise, Reise", where you could hear a hidden track of a black box of a Japanese plane crash.

  • Englische Übersetzung des Interviews im dänischen Gaffa Magazin


    RAMMSTEIN: RED / GOLDEN / BLACK


    After four years, efforts have finally paid off and Rammstein is ready to release its long-awaited new album. The title is "Liebe ist für alle da" (Love is there for all), and is in itself, a sarcastic understatement, the black is the dominant color in the flag of these Germans.


    "Everyone has a dark side. You, me... everybody in the whole wide world. The Darkness may be stronger in different people, but is always present in us all. To deny this darkness is like denying a part of human nature. "-RZK.


    For not living in denial, we have Rammstein.


    Richard Kruspe, guitarist and founder of Rammstein, has no difficulty expressing their thoughts with the right words. The profile of the band is characterized as "an attack on good taste", as previously described, and with "Liebe ist für alle da", the Germans continue their tour of the circles Dante's Inferno.


    GAFFA comes to meet Rammstein in Berlin. The press conference takes place in the building of Universal Music, a department complex set aside the river and, as always, is limited and exclusive interviews with selected media. After the album listening session, we are asked to sign some confidentiality agreements, and then we provide an interpreter for our interview monitored with bassist Oliver Riedel and guitarist Richard Kruspe.


    Rammstein has a reputation for being rather moody and not fit very well with the press, and Oliver Riedel seems to confirm this. He doesn't use more syllables than necessary. He says, politely, how the keyboards have a more pronounced role, as in the first album, and emphasizes how the intro of the song "Haifisch" has an influence of Depeche Mode:


    "It is a tribute to one of our greatest models. This is what we originally wanted. Combine the sound of the synthesizer with something heavier. And it is a recurring feature throughout the album. Thus, "Liebe ist für alle da" brings to mind our first jobs."


    Oliver acknowledges that this has been a unusually long to finish an album, but it is very diplomatic in his opinions, especially when asked about the alleged conflicts related to the texts and music of singer Till Lindemann and Richard Kruspe. This last one takes the issue comfortably and in good humour. He said essentially that he is the leader of ideas and the highest in the hierarchy, a position that not even the charismatic Till Lindemann has challenged.


    The relationship did not improve when Kruspe launched the alternative project solo (and in English tongue), "Emigrate" in 2008, created during the pause before the work of "Liebe ist für alle da."


    "I am glad that we managed to finish this album. Several times I doubted if it became to happen. It all has to do with this: In all, we carry a strong emotional charge. When we are together in Rammstein, it's like when you put a battery to charge. There is positive energy, but there are also negative energy."


    Kruspe, as dictated by the dress code of the gang, is wearing a black satin suit full length. Obviously, he is above the prohibition of smoking in the lounge of the company that holds a sign "No Smoking". While enjoying his cigarette, asks GAFFA our immediate reaction to the new themes.


    German International.


    "Liebe ist für alle da" contains all the classic ingredients that have made the first German band Rammstein has achieved international success and sold millions of records singing in German. Although the United States or Canada are not their major markets, "Liebe ist für alle da" contains words that can be known for documentaries and feature films.


    In "Rammlied" Lindemann says: "Manche Führer, manche folgen", and the full S/M "Ich Tu Dir Weh" speaks of "Stacheldraht" (barbed wire). On the first single, "Pussy," we find words such as "Blitzkrieg mit dem Fleischgewehr", "Autobahn", Mercedes Benz and "Sauerkraut". The song "Waidmanns Heil" can be translated as "Greetings from the Hunter", but is an old term and rare in German terms, and basically read between the lines that their texts are aimed at an audience that knows what comes of German culture from black and white documentary of History or Discovery Channel.


    "It's true. We are aware that we use terms that are known internationally. It is important to have references that can also be understood in Denmark or Mexico, since it is well known that we have always used references to German culture. The image of Germany still is still associated with Nazism and the Communist regime, but we set our distance from them." says Kruspe, who lives in New York since 2001.


    "The spiritual is like" -Lars von Trier


    "Liebe ist für alle da" also borrows other aspects of German culture. You can find references to "The Threepenny Opera" by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht in the phrase: "Und der Haifisch Der hat Tränen", and the title of "Wiener Blut" (Viennese Blood) is taken from Richard Strauss's operetta of the same name.


    This last issue is a somber event and yet, a good example of Rammstein's timing. Just as when they released "Mein Teil" (Reise, Reise, 2004) on the eve of the trial of the German cannibal Armin Meiwes, the wounds of the case presented in "Wiener Blut" are still fresh. In these modern times there are no witches, but Hansel and Gretel are at risk of being assaulted in the woods by a sinister man named Joseph Fritzl.
    "The Fritzl case is so unique that we had to do a song about it. What happens inside the head of a monster? It's like everything terrifying and fascinating at once. However, some people are frightened by only one idea, the concept of taboo." -Says Kruspe.


    It is here that gives us the phrase we have quoted at the beginning of this article, the fascination of Rammstein on the sides of the human condition. Kruspe emphasizes to Lars von Trier as a good example of how the public can react when an artist puts his hands in the darkest corners of the human mind:


    "Till and I are rapt by the Dark Side. Like many people. Your own filmmaker Lars von Trier, with his film "Antichrist" is a good example of how art is open to criticism by addressing issues or side of us that do not recognize or accept. That's the thing with Rammstein."


    The provocation is also a lucrative lifestyle. With an estimated 15 million albums sold, the universe of Rammstein is loaded with ultra-violence, sexual perversions and black humor (tongue-in-chick), ready to continue with "Liebe ist für alle da." Incidentally, the cover artwork features a chiaroscuro scenario that is reminiscent of the famous painting of Rembrandt's "Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp"


    But if a large proportion of Rammstein's agenda is aimed to challenge the good taste and decency, why not go to a more "hot" subject like religion? For example, to mock the Pope or the Prophet (as did the football club Schalke 04 with his controversial anthem, which provoked the Muslims).


    "Religion has never been a big issue for us. We grew up in the totalitarian regime of East Germany, where religion hardly existed. I have no doubt that we would take the issue if we find something that looks interesting. So obviously we are influenced by major scandals. Sex was not taboo in the GDR. I refer to "normal" sex between a man and a woman. Everything else was taboo, of course!" -Says Kruspe laughing while lighting out another cigarette.


    Rock=Revolution


    Kruspe recognizes that the urge to break taboos and to rebel against convention comes from his youth behind the Iron Curtain. Under communism, it was virtually impossible to make a career as a rock musician in the GDR.


    "I was completely engulfed by KISS. Their music and attitude was considered "dangerous" in the eyes of the system. They really represent the "Western decadence". The Rock served in part as a disguise for a popular revolution among youth in the GDR, but especially the musical aspect, the energy of it was what attracted me most. As a teenager, was a fan of Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin guitarist) was my hero. And still is! And when I heard AC/DC for the first time, I was completely enchanted. The music was really heavy, blues-based, Led Zep back. "


    Only the weight of the music is crucial to Kruspe, who marks his distance in terms of comparisons with the "traditional" heavy metal:


    "As a band, synthesizers and guitars combine our music alike. Heavy metal has always focused on lead guitar and its solos while the rhythm guitar stays in the shade. A few years ago, we were on tour with AC/DC, and some nights I would stare at Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar) and it was Wow, man! that's great playing! That is most valuable for a band. As a collective, there's not a space to show individual members. "


    The collective may be experienced in Denmark on December 15, when Rammstein will give a concert at the Forum. Tickets sold out in less than an hour, and now are resold on the Internet at exorbitant prices.


    "Liebe ist für alle da" will be released on Oct. 16.



    RAMMSTEIN - curious facts.


    Richard Kruspe had in the early 90's, two children with Till Lindeman's ex-wife then . She kept the last name after the divorce with Lindemann, and Kruspe's daughter is called Khira Li Lindemann.
    Kruspe experienced firsthand the totalitarian regime of the GDR. As he climbed the stairs of a subway station, he suddenly found himself in the midst of a political demonstration, he was arrested at the scene and had to spend six days behind bars. Immediately after his release, Kruspe escaped to the West via Czechoslovakia.
    Guitarist Paul Landers is the son of East German father and Russian mother. Landers spent a short period of his childhood in Moscow with his parents.
    Drummer Christoph Schneider is the only member who did military service in the army of the GDR.
    The keyboardist Christian Lorenz shared an apartment with Paul Landers in his youth. When not playing music, financed their bohemian lifestyle by selling handicrafts in a flea market.

  • RZK @ The Gauntlet:




    The Gauntlet: How are you doing?


    Richard Kruspe: I am just trying to recover; I just got out of the hospital yesterday.



    The Gauntlet: Having your breast implants removed?


    Richard Kruspe: [laughs] No, I had knee surgery. I am alright but a little handicapped. I had some pain for a couple of weeks and went to the doctor because I was afraid. If I am in pain now, what would it be like on tour for two and a half years? It was something about the meniscus and was broken basically and they had to fix it. It was time to do it. I am glad I did it and now have four weeks to get back on track and rock & roll.



    The Gauntlet: You get some good painkiller drugs?


    Richard: I don't really have that much pain. It was just a little in the beginning. I feel handicapped and can't jump around all the time. I usually wake up in the morning and do at least an hour of jogging or some sport and now I can't do anything. It just doesn't feel good.



    The Gauntlet: You might want to look into a sports doctor. I was a cross country runner and started having knee issues with the fluid from the continual impact.


    Richard: Oh yeah, maybe. I grew up in East Germany and have been into sports since I was four. I was a wrestler for seven years.



    The Gauntlet: Very cool, In high school I was a Greco-roman and freestyle wrestler.


    Richard: Very nice. Do you still do any sports?



    The Gauntlet: Does chasing my kids around count as a sport?


    Richard: That can be a sport too. They are young still right?



    The Gauntlet: Yes, now they are eight and almost five.


    Richard: My daughter is 18 and my son is 17. I'm not running after them anymore.



    The Gauntlet: What do they think of the bands first video, "Pussy”?


    Richard: I showed it to my girlfriend and my daughter at the same time and they were laughing., They thought it was really, really funny. I didn't have a problem with them. Actually I haven't heard any problems with it from anyone. I never have seen so much response or tension from a video. We didn't plan on using the song as our first single. We had a meeting with our record label and it came out as an idea to release that as the first hardcore single. I thought it was the same thing we did last time and wanted to do something else. "Pussy" is unlike any other song on the record and I felt like if they could do something really dark and not that funny but a really interesting video then it would work. We gave the song to our favorite director, Jonas Akerlund and just three hours later he got back to us and said "guys, let's fucking make a revolution and make a porn!" We all had big smiles on our faces. We knew in the beginning that MTV would not show it but we had the internet. But then Youtube wouldn't show it and we had a problem. So we came up with the idea to put it on an adult site. In two weeks, we had like 12 million people watch the video which is just amazing.



    The Gauntlet: Who came up with the characters for everyone in the video, Partyboy?


    Richard: Those came from Jonas. He had all kinds of characters already laid out. Jonas is one of the guys where we don't really have to do anything. Usually we come up with stories for videos, but not with him. With him, we just have to trust him. He has such a dark side to certain things and that is why I like to work with him.



    The Gauntlet: Were you at all upset you weren't the ‘Heeshe' with the tits?


    Richard: [laughs] You know what, the funny thing was no one knew what the other guy was doing. We all had our own rooms and own stories and we didn't know what was happening. It was funny to see how it was all shot.



    The Gauntlet: So it was sort of along the lines of how you shot Mein Teil?


    Richard: Yes, it was the same way, exactly.



    The Gauntlet: By the looks of the video, it appears you had a lot of fun making it.


    Richard: You can put it that way. I had some thoughts about the whole porn industry and thought it was this cruel industry. I realized that the people were really, really friendly, caring and professional. I was very surprised by that. There was nothing cruel or dirty about it at all, just very professional.



    The Gauntlet: Do you always have that funny smile during sex?


    Richard: I actually never watched myself but you have a point. I really should watch myself or videotape it. I never really...I can do it. I did that a long time ago but every girl is different. Do I really smile? Sometimes I guess, I will have to check that out. You really have me thinking on that one.



    The Gauntlet: Is the album as a whole a concept album with 'love' being the central theme?


    Richard: It is and it isn't. All our tracks have something to do with the darker sides of love and sex. They aren't the happy love songs. We always chose to write about the darker side of relationships. We always have chosen an album title from a song and this time it was so hard to choose one for the title. Nothing really popped out for an idea. From the beginning we had a title called "Seid Bereit" which translates to ‘Get ready' but this really never made any sense. I was working on the solo for Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da and hearing Till's voice all the time and I thought wow. When you first hear the title, it sounds cheesy but then there is a deeper meaning. I picture all the bad guys in the world and what love is there for everyone. It is true that love is there for everyone and it doesn't skip anyone. All of the sudden it had a very spiritual meaning to me and you can play with the words and show the darker side to love you know.



    The Gauntlet: When will Rammstein give the U.S. a proper tour?


    Richard: Let me put it this way, we will definitely come. Obviously it is really complicated. Everyone knows about the band and the show in Europe. Our problem is that we play in much bigger arenas in Europe. We play a stage show that was designed for 20-30k people and it doesn't fit a small club of 3-5k people. That is a problem. When we come to America we can't bring everything. We keep going back and forth. The pyro is part of our show and I don't know how far we can go with that. I have been living in New York for ten years now and I want to play America. It is a question right now to the organizers. There is nothing set in stone at the moment but we want to play 200 shows over the next two and a half years. We have definitely made it clear that we will play America but at the moment, there are a lot of logistic problems. We live in a digital world so people know what we do on stage. It is just so hard to bring all that across the world to America. We decided to go that way with the show and there is no going back. It is our curse, we can't just get up on stage and play the songs, that isn't what Rammstein is about.



    The Gauntlet: Just package it as the Rammstein acoustic tour.


    Richard: That is something I want to do, but in a more artistic way, but I can't really talk about it. I really have a great idea and it is something I can really look forward to doing with the guys again in four years.



    The Gauntlet: Something classical with big string sections?


    Richard: Mmmmm maybe [laughs].



    The Gauntlet: With the level of intensity that Rammstein requires from you both in the studio and on stage, how much longer does the band have?


    Richard: I always like speaking with you because you make me think. I think that every band that has been together for over 15 years has had a moment. In every band there is that highest moment of creativity and you reach that certain level of outcome or genius. After that you are just trying different things to get that moment back together. I think that with the right amount of distance and time between each event, you can reproduce this as often as you want. Right now I am not looking to get back into the studio again with Rammstein because that was just hell for me. It was too much. I am really looking forward to playing these shows and I am looking forward to doing an unplugged version of Rammstein which is not the way most bands do it. I want it to be a way to get excited. But going back into the studio with Rammstein, no way.



    The Gauntlet: And that can always change, being on the road for two and a half years will do a lot to your way of thinking.


    Richard: Yeah, but we have been together for such a long time and we are a democracy and it gets really complicated. We have to talk a lot about everything. It all has to be talked through and takes a long time. We have had those moments with the band and they are great. I am grateful for what we did but everything has an end. There is a time when you have to move on.



    The Gauntlet: Do you think you can pinpoint when that end is, when you reach that upper level of creativity so you don't go out on a low note?


    Richard: I think that there is no need at the moment. I am really happy that we finished this record which wasn't easy at all. I don't think there will be a need for a new album in the next two years either. The good thing about Rammstein is we have played the live market really well. There is always a need for a Rammstein show. If I am going to an AC/DC show, I don't care if there is a new record or not. I just want to hear them play T.N.T., Dirty Deeds, and Highway to Hell.

  • Albumbewertung aus dem Sonntags Blick (Schweizer Zeitung)
    Fazit: Hart, extrem, sexistisch, blutig, gruselig: "Liebe ist für alle da"


    Provokant: 4 von 5 als Bewertung


    ----------------------------------------------


    Hier noch das Interview:


    SonntagsBlick Magazin: Es heisst, ihr hattet Zweifel, ob ihr euer neues Album jemals fertigkriegen würdet.
    Chris­toph Schneider:

    Wir sind das zuerst einfach zu locker angegangen. Wir wollten keinen
    Druck. Also haben wir geprobt, Ideen gesammelt, dann mal wieder Urlaub
    gemacht. Dabei ist die Energie verlorengegangen. Bis wir gemerkt haben,
    dass wir nicht Ideen ohne Ende brauchen, sondern mal ein paar Songs
    fertigmachen müssen. Man kann zwar rumprobieren, aber irgendwann fängt
    das an zu nerven: Wenn man immer mit denselben Leuten in dieser Blase
    steckt, aber dabei nichts zu Ende kriegt, weil wieder einer was anderes
    will.


    Dass Sound und Texte auf dem neuen Album schlichter, direkter wirken – war das eine Reaktion auf diese Schwierigkeiten?
    Es war ohnehin unser Ziel, das Album etwas härter klingen zu lassen. Nicht
    so orchestral und episch, wie das auf den letzten Platten war. Wieder
    mehr auf den Punkt zu kommen.


    Wie bei eurer knalligen Sex-Single «Pussy», wo es heisst: «Steck Bratwurst in dein Sauerkraut»?
    So eine Seite haben wir auch, eine etwas lustige, banale. Es ist nicht für
    alle Bandmitglieder einfach, plötzlich so ein Lied zu machen. Aber wenn
    man das ins richtige Kleid steckt, kann es schon wieder cool sein. Und
    dann den lustigen Porno-Videoclip dazu …


    Ihr widmet euch aber auch ernsteren Themen. «Mehr» spiesst menschliche Gier auf. Und in
    «Wiener Blut» wagt ihr euch an den perversen Inzestvater Josef Fritzl.

    Klar, das ist natürlich eine Geschichte für uns. So was ist ja oft unser
    Thema, auf allen Alben. Das ist für Till (Sänger und Texter; die Red.)
    eine ganz leichte Übung, glaube ich.


    Du sagst, ihr seid quasi «zuständig» für so etwas. Steckt ihr euch damit nicht in eine Schublade?
    Man ist, was man ist. Das merkst du nach so vielen Jahren in einer Band.
    Man kann sich nicht komplett neu erfinden. Die Band besteht ja immer
    aus denselben Menschen, die eben etwas Bestimmtes gut können. Und wenn
    es viele Leute gibt, die genau das gut finden – dann hat man irgendwo
    eine Berechtigung, es auch zu machen.


    Mit «Mein Teil» habt ihr auch schon mal den Fall eines kannibalischen Triebtäters
    verwurstet. Was ist der Reiz an derlei Abartigkeiten?

    Warum sind solche Dinge auf den Titelseiten der Zeitungen? Da geht es ja los.
    Viele Menschen haben ein Interesse an Skandalstorys. Unsere Medien sind
    ja meistens voll von schlechten, krassen Nachrichten. Und wir sind Teil
    dieser Welt. Till singt viel über diese extremen Arten von Beziehungen.
    Er macht das irgendwie gut: Man muss ein bisschen darüber schmunzeln,
    aber eigentlich ist es auch total gruselig. Das hat eben immer zwei
    Seiten bei uns.


    Lange wurdet ihr als gefährliche Provokateure hingestellt. Seid ihr von der Öffentlichkeit manchmal zu ernst genommen worden?
    Wir sind keine Witz-Band. Aber wenn man wie wir extreme Themen musikalisch
    verarbeitet, bringt das einen gewissen unverhohlenen Witz mit sich. Es
    ist gut, wenn man merkt, dass wir das nicht zu ernst nehmen. Es geht
    uns nicht um eine persönliche Identifikation. Keiner ist am Ende so wie
    das, was da gesungen wird.


    Inwiefern ist eure Lust an der Provokation durch eure DDR-Herkunft beeinflusst?
    Die rührt sicher aus der Zeit der 80er-Jahre, als wir in der DDR als
    Underground-Musiker anfingen. Da war man gegen das System. Dieses
    provokative Dagegensein hat uns gefallen. Etwas zu tun, was aneckt. Das
    war unser Ding und das haben wir später mit Rammstein auf
    Gesamtdeutschland zu übertragen versucht. Das ist uns ja auch gelungen
    (lacht). Plötzlich galten wir als «rechte» Band. Für manche klangen wir
    wohl zu deutsch.


    Wie seid ihr damit umgegangen?
    Die Band wurde schneller gross als wir. Wir mussten hinterherwachsen und
    uns mit unserer Wirkung auseinandersetzen. Antworten finden auf die
    Fragen, die man uns stellte. Dieses Sich-Erklären hat aber auch
    genervt: als Musiker immer über Politik und Ideologie reden zu müssen.
    Heute kennt Rammstein jeder und weiss: Die machen so ein bisschen was
    Härteres, Extremeres, sind aber ganz nett. Das hat sich normalisiert.


    Ein Erfolgsfaktor von Rammstein ist die energiegeladene, pyromanische
    Bühnenshow, bei der sich euer Sänger selbst in Brand setzt. Ihr werdet
    auch älter. Wird das nicht irgendwann schwierig?

    Till verausgabt sich da wirklich total: Abend für Abend so eine Show zu
    machen und auch noch zu singen! So wie wir das bisher machen, kann man
    es wahrscheinlich nicht ewig durchziehen. Aber auf dem Barhocker
    sitzend, mit der Klampfe in der Hand – so werden wir bestimmt nicht
    enden.

    Ich bin verbrannt mit Haut und Haar - Verbrannt ist alles ganz und gar
    Aus der Asche ganz allein - Steig ich auf zum Sonnenschein
    :rauchen:
