That's how musical careers worked in Eastern Germany back then. To get acknowleged as a musician you had to go to a musical college and get a degree. That's what he says about much being about sports back then as every stateowned comany had its own sports compartment but music was hard to get in professionally. Also the lyrics were strictly watched by the government. Everything remotely not approved was banned and maybe even imprisoned as an enemy of the state. That's why Rock music from that time (known as 'Ostrock' / 'Eastern Rock') is known for its cryptic lyrics about freedom using many metaphors. So yeah, shame they didn't elaborate on that as it's quite an interesting and twisted subject.

I'd like to specify that this was the case with East Germany. Music was extremely important in East Germany, but you couldn't just do it and evolve into business activities there. You needed a license and some sort of specific education. Productions had to be in German with some exceptions for internationally successful artists, but those were extremely rare. Basically you were trapped inside the German speaking part of the Soviet empire at its western rim. The music market of the free German-speaking world (West-Germany, Switzerland, Austria, South Tyrol (Italy), was dominated by the West German music industry with its international ties. After the crushing of the liberalisation attempts in Czechoslowakia in 1968 it became obvious to the West that the Eastern Block had to be outperformed in every aspect. And since the GDR could not shine (towards the West) with industrial production anymore, showing off with cultural production (TV, film, literature, theatre, music) and especially, sports became a thing for the regime. East German athletes were 'bred' to be high performers in their fields by any means. Several of them had to sacrifice their health for such state goals. In general it can be stated that the education in East Germany was on a high level, especially the academic one. Back to music. To be a successful artist in East Germany you needed to be in line with the regime. But even as such it was possible to be successful in the West. Some used the possibility to perform in Western Europe to stay there and became even more successful.

[@tilllindemann7690]

Hallo. Ich möchte mich für Ihre liebevolle Unterstützung wie und Kommentar in meinem Leben und meiner gesamten Karriere bedanken.

[@SharityGaming]

Saw him yesterday in Berlin ^^ he is smaller then I expected

[@zeem3366]

Sharity Gaming- Really that's all you have to say about that? Wow

[@Corvid]

It's one of the attributes you can't really judge without seeing someone in person, and it's quite strange to think someone is a certain size, and realise they're different in person.

[@barbaravance6774]

Corvid Quite true! There are many lead singers I always thought of as tall that aren't. Who knew@?!😉

[@cameroncrane3770]

But also like with me I thought all these people were tall when I was little but then I grew up and 6' and still not quite done growing so now most of these people are short compared to me and it's just weird

[@rhythmelf8881]

Sharity Gaming than* I expected👍👍👍

[@julienderiviere4907]

"It works!" is the default message for an Apache web server... My guess is they were *migrating* the *Emigrate* website :) Very cool interview!

[@alfiemoran6684]

Let's all take a moment to appreciate how good his English is

[@alexandermortzfeld7420]

Giorgos Kyriakopoulos they are from Germany, so it’s quite obvious

[@emmiedring8178]

Rammstein is my all time favorite. Got their 25th anniversary shirt and my hat yesterday. 😁 Richard is an amazing musician, I don't know if Rammstein would be the same without him!

[@patasaurusrex2492]

David Lynch is a big Rammstein fan. He had the crew jam out to their albums on the set of Lost Highway. Henry Rollins talked about it on his podcast.

[@V01D72]

Awesome, Richard is everywhere nowadays, probably has to do with his new emigrate album:) not that i'm complaining, he is interesting to listen to and a true inspiration for me. Also, he likes to talk a lot, I think they cut a lot of content hehe

[@mjrtaurus2714]

Love how in addition to the accent, he has the slightest lisp. Makes his voice very distinct and impactful.

[@msevda]

Richard is so talented and extremely handsome! Love you Richard! I love how he paints his nails black and white and I love that killer eyeliner!

[@albertjones6176]

Hey gurl

[@TheGamermouse]

Man muss Richard einfach lieben ♥

[@albertosotelo9969]

Richard is great, he took some time off with some fans in Mexico to go out and play, make some tacos and go to a school, he is awesome

[@shellykrikava9783]

Richard always makes me smile, so handsome xoxo

[@georgiak8132]

He's so handsome!

[@talldave1000]

So cool. I'm glad I found this video. Richard is put together pretty tight. He's humble and smart. Respect!

[@cherrybrock8951]

Es ist sehr schön, freundliche Kommentare zur deutschen Sprache zu sehen, auch wenn es schwer zu lernen ist 😄 (sorry if my german isn’t very good, i’m still learning)

[@Alex-vc8uo]

[@Satori_2024]

[@likskirtspleetscreen]

Never seen a more competent, grown, respectful, smart, well educated and committed band.

[@daveschwartz5893]

[@matteotamburella608]

You just gotta acknowledge that Richard is a very interesting man, with a very interesting story behind him.
