Another cool thing about Rammstein is that they've known each others for ages and the exact same guys are playing who were playing when they started 23 years ago

[@SoftSpokenFern]

xooperz and some of them of them knew each other before Rammstein

True! Richard said in a recent interview that they do couples therapy to function as best as possible as a group, I love & respect how they take the time & have the maturity to solve their issues like that.

[@Rammstein45]

The most professional band in the history of metal.

[@magnuskevinsen2380]

Metal? Rammstein is an amazing Hard Rock "Neue Deutsche Härte" band, but certainly not Metal. Maybe Metal-inspired but Metal is something else. Sodom is Metal, Bathory is Metal, Iron Maiden is Metal.

[@OfficialArthusamakh]

Bruder Friedrich Rammstein is metal. Herzeleid was kind of a Rammstein version of industrial metal and since then it has evolved more and more into just Rammstein‘s thing/NDH. Hard rock surely not. Iron Maiden is more Hard rock than Rammstein. 😬 Both on my top 3 favorite metal bands.

[@SoUnDMaN831]

@Crytica: Not trying to be rude pointing this out, but there is no one in Rammstein named Paul Lindemann. There is Till Lindeman & Paul Landers. Since you combined the names of two different members, I'm confused. Which band member did you meet?

[@Crytica.]

Sorry im retarded, I meant Till(obviously), I was thinking about a Paul while typing and mixed them up. hahaha welp xD

Rammstein in the whole package. Their music, videos and concerts are absolutely awesome!

[@sternpio]

He learnt Russian at school (like most pupils in the DDR) as a foreign language and not English. But I have to admit his English - except for the pronunciaton - is really good.

[@Rebel_Vamp1r3]

sternpio and he lived in Russia

[@Alyssa-yx5gs]

He actually speaks english better than russian. According to his interview he understands ru well and he pronounces 70% of words perfect, rest with GER accent, which makes him sound sexy. but it is hard for him to form sentenses. Cute fact: He lived in Moscow for only a year, when he was 7 yo, so he remembers words, which are important for a kid - TASTY things =)))

[@k.a.wippel7949]

His english is slightly better than Till's. His choice of words is better but Till has more flow.

[@davejoerger8928]

sternpio His mother was Russian, I think. They all seem to understand English very well but Richard speaks it the best. Richard lives a lot of the time in New York so it's understandable.

[@Jarrow13]

As far as I know he was born in East Germany, East Germany was under Soviet communist occupation. Part of the whole concept was "Soviet Socialist Patriotism" that I reckon was the reason why the Russian language was taught in East German schools.

[@Galeryn218]

i love paul's smile, you can tell he is the type to be the prankster/cheerful guy in the band

I really like Paul he's really awesome and his voice is so beautiful , I love have Rammstein has always stuck to its core and not changed how they are as most bands do now. I love linkin park still sad Chester died but Paul was right I felt what he said was true I felt they went away from their core and what they were and missed the older music.

[@GotoMaki4Micah]

what happened to lp musically is tragic. in my opinion, no one else sounded like them. maybe others rapped but it was not on lps level. its common to find your niche, your style and keep doing that but LP just went off the rails. i was not a fan of mtm, hunting party or one more light. meterora and HT set the bar HIGH. i feel they did a lot of devolving from there. i feel they where listless in the studio and just threw shit together to fulfill their contract. we aren't always batting a thousand at work are we? sometimes we just need to get through the project. their contract was up with OML.

[@Glasshexagon]

Linkin Park didn't stray away from their core. It's just their core not being metal. That's why they went trendy - they were trendy from the start, when nu metal was in the prime.

[@gagypetkovic]

@@GotoMaki4Micah So you want from them to repeat ? You are wrong,you can't make same music when you are 24 and 40 years,as they grew up so did their music,MTM is very good Given Up and Bleed It Out were bangers,also THP is their heaviest album.

[@lilyofthevalley5586]

[@alexf6392]

Yulissa Angelique Cliche 100%. Has nothing to do with the nation. I'm german myself and it absolutely depends on the people. From my perspective I don't see how you came up with that.

Amaroq You should learn a bit of respect and understand that english might be really famous around the world that it's an obligation to speak your language. Not everybody comes from a country where english is the first language. I would like to see you speaking another language. The world isn't turning around your little beings, get that in your head man. English isn't my first language at all and I have a little (at least) of respect for English non-speakers as much as the people who talk only English.
