2023 Europe Stadium Tour Photos 4:
Paul/Richard - Mein Herz brennt, Odense
During the 2023 Europe Stadium Tour, Richard Kruspe often visited Paul Landers on his side of the stage during one chorus of Mein Herz brennt. This made for a nice photo opportunity. While going through some of my shots, I found this series from their concert 02.06.2023 in Odense.
First, a cursed shot of Richard:
Then Richard went into intense mode:
But of course, when the two guitarists find together on stage, it often ends with smiles:

you guys for real? Picking your nose is fucking gross and you still stan this man??????????
Anon, look what you have done! Are you happy now? 😒
Paul was just sharing his hygiene routine with us! There was no need for you to be such a meanie-bo-beenie about it! 🙄 I don't know about you, but hygiene is important to Rammstein and in fact they set a good example for all of us!
General personal hygiene primarily includes showering (or bathing). 🛁
Good oral hygiene affects the health of the entire body. If harmful bacteria are not removed from the oral flora, they enter the bloodstream and promote disease. So it's essential that you do this on a daily basis. 👄 🦷 😬 💨
Cleansing your facial skin is part of the daily skincare routine. Residual make-up and dirt particles can favour impure skin with inflammation in the form of blackheads and pimples. 🧼
Regular and correct intimate hygiene is crucial so that you feel fresh and comfortable and can prevent skin irritation. 💦 Rinsing the genital area with water will suffice. Alternatively, use a mild, unscented soap. 🧴
Also, the body and skin are dehydrated due to sweating and should therefore be provided with plenty of moisture after cleansing. 💧
So you see Anon, they're everything but gross! They're just a bunch of super wholesome men who help each other with their hygiene routines! ✨

Not a question! BUT RICHARD IN HIS 50 IS SOMETHING! Right?
Hi 😊
I must say, Richard has always been quite fascinating regarding his looks (especially regarding his versatility style-wise) and brought in every decade of Rammstein history (already three this year!) something different to the table so to speak.
A tiny summary from my little delusional perspective:
1. 1994 - 2004: Starting as very small and cute boyfriend material, Richard dipped his toes into the 'silver god'-water for just a moment and ultimately did a 180, arriving at the iconic 2000s spiky style 🖤
2. 2004 - 2014: The evolution into a full blown rock star vampire began (much to my neverending enthusiasm) while being as muscly as ever, a thankfully short emo hair era ensued. However, he quickly found his way to a different style and tried out the mohawk 😌
3. 2014 - 2024: Richard stayed true to his style (red/black aesthetic, arm sleeves, vest....) yet kind of matured further - he seemingly developed his love for coats even further, got a bit more chunky and massive in his physique, yet again found his way back into the slightly vampire lord-y aesthetic. Overall, and this is just my opinion, now he looks more alluring than ever. Maybe due to the mixture of masculine energy and slightly feminine curves?
This small overview is by far not complete, but I find it remarkable how versatile Richard is and was in his style and appearance. And Richard in his 50s is really something, my absolute favorite phase so far! 🤍

Can we talk about the bands engl7sh knowledge?
So Till was the first one to learn it. Knew enough to communicate in the early 90s. Probably most fluent of them all since he also probably read the entire dictionary and synonyms.
Richard did 0 to 60 in just 2 years. Obviously, moving to NYC and having English speaking wife helped a lot, but from 1998 not being able to, to 2001, speaking with easy, is truly impressive. Sassy german accent. More fluent in street talk than eloquence.
Then we have Schneider, who I think is as good as Till and Richard, but has the heaviest german accent making it seem like he's not as good.
There's Paul who's simply not used to expressing his opinions in English, and therefore, his brain cannot keep up with his tongue.
Dear sweet Olli, his English skills are as mysterious as himself. We probably only heard him speak English 3 times..
And then there's Flake. We know his skills got immensely better in the last 10 years alone. Went from don't wanna say something in case I sound stupid to reading books publicly.
Overall, like for a lot of us, english is necessary for survival. Especially if you travel a lot and meet lots of people. But kudos to them for learning it so quickly, especially when they were already in their mid/late 20.
Hi 👋
Oh, this is a wonderful ask! I think about the band's English learning journeys and their language skills in general quite a lot (it kind of is one of my 'roman empires', to use a contemporary phrase), since there are a lot of different skill levels present in this band. Let's work our way through it:
1. Till: the language genius of the band
I noticed Till's talent for languages and to express himself quite early on, and like you said, he seemingly was the one person in the band who could use English already in the 90s for conversation and explaining, like in this interview:
youtube
Another interview where Till speaks about the Nazi accusations the band has to face time and time again, he expresses himself and the points he likes to make so well:
youtube
Not only does Till speak English, from my knowledge he apparently speaks spanish, russian, I heard him speaking some polish - he is really talented in this regard and he has my utmost respect for it!
2. Richard: if eagerness to learn was a person
Richard seemed so lost on their first America tour in 1998, he was quite isolated from the rest of the bands which participated in this tour which made him apparently feel pretty lonely (I mentioned his language journey a bit in this ask). Movies helped him quite a lot to get more acquainted with the english language, and apparently he mastered english well enough around the time when he met his later-(ex) wife Caron in the end of the 1990s. Surely moving to the US together with her must've refined his english skills a lot, but to even consider moving there, he must've already speak enough english to at least feel a bit comfortable in an english speaking environment (at least that's what my thought process would be). I must say, I admire Richard's drive and eagerness to learn this language so quickly, and he became competent to express himself quite well. Here's an interview from 2004, he seems so relaxed speaking english, which makes me quite proud of him:
youtube
Here's another interview from 2017 as an example, Richard speaks quite fluent and seems to be very comfortable in the english language. He once said it's easier to make small talk in english than in german - he might not have to most sophisticated vocabulary in english with grand words and uses a lot of fillers (his famous "you know" always at hand), but he knows how to express himself in a straight forward yet entertaining and charming way.
youtube
3. Schneider: hidden talents
From what I've heard, Schneider definitely knows how to express himself and has a surprisingly well equipped vocabulary. I say 'suprinsingly', since I didn't expect this at first - like you mentioned, his german accent seems to distract from this fact a bit. In comparison to Thomas Lang (an austrian drummer), Schneider of course sounds a bit clunky and not that relaxed - nevertheless, he comes across quite soft spoken in the english language and knows his way around expressions.
youtube
In this interview Schneider finds his way into the speaking 'flow' a little better in my opinion, and brings across his points quite clearly. Despite his heavy accent, you can still understand him quite well (at least that's what I think) and it seems like he puts a lot of effort into finding the right words to describe certain things coherently.
youtube
4. Paul: motivated endeavours to express himself
Paul seemingly can use english to make conversation to a certain degree and understands the language without problems. In the earlier days of Rammstein, while speaking english he came across a bit ungainly, searching for correct expressions or words, like the infamous "slimey into people" - but you still know what he means 😅 I think here you can notice what you mentioned in your ask, he knows exactly what thoughts he would like to express, yet is a bit inhibited by the fact that he doesn't know the correct words for it.
youtube
Here's another, more "recent" interview from 2017 - he's a bit more comfortable speaking english, yet for me as a native german speaker, it became apparent (through all the english interviews I saw with him) that Paul tries to transfer the typical german sentence structure into the english language, which of course doesn't fully work and gives of a bit of a circuitous vibe. Yet he's quite understandable as well I think.
youtube
And a personal favourite of dear @dandysnob (who helped me looking for Paul's interviews, thank you dear 🤍), which shows Paul has no fear to make contact with fans using a different language than german 😊
youtube
5. Olli: Once again an enigma
I found several quite interesting and charming interviews with Olli, who's a joy to listen to (he comes across as shy and yet eager to answer the question he gets in a friendly and detailed manner), but all of them are in german. In my ask about Olli during meet and greets, it was mentioned that he doesn't seem to be really comfortable in the english language.
6. Flake: from fearing of ordering a cup of bacon to fearless one-man show
Flake is someone who isn't scared of expressing his opinion about matters and things he doesn't enjoy (he's not the biggest fan of the US to put it mildly) and also expressed that he struggles with the english language quite a lot (for example during 'Rammstein in America'). Plus he sometimes has a reoccuring stutter (since his child hood), is quite shy and he has, together with Paul, the broadest Berlin dialect you could imagine - and what does this guy do? Mastering the english language just enough to give public speeches about his early musician days in front of a whole audience, really overcoming his fear of public speaking and doing so gracefully in a different and hard language for him! Mad respect for him, and he maintains his distinct humor while doing so:
youtube
Flake's vocabulary isn't really refined, but good enough to express his thoughts in simple and understandable phrases. Same as Paul, he seems to adapt the german syntax into the english language, yet he speaks so fluently, barely searching for the words he needs!
Plus he even had the guts to sing in english on stage, another iconic moment, linked here (can't put any more videos in this post due to the video limit).
"But kudos to them for learning it so quickly, especially when they were already in their mid/late 20." I borrow this statement of yours to bring this post to an end, since this is exactly my point of view here - it really is remarkable how well many of them find their way around the english language 😊

Please, I need to know, as high priestess of the temple of Landers Chaos, what are your top five horrible little gremlin moments? When he’s giving absolute peak Paule energy?
Dear sister of the temple of Paulchardism, you have given me an arduous task, but I will do my best. As you can imagine, his deeds and feats are too many to contain in five points only, so I will take some liberties to showcase why I worship this devilish but also angelic entity, Paul "coccolino" Landers the God of Chaos.
Sacramental confetti: Unlike the usual customary procedure of other religions, ours preaches that God Paul ingests the confetti-host directly, blessing all his followers, without the need for us to ingest it as well. It suffices to simply observe the act! [e.g. 🎊]
Holy zoomies: Since two different entities, the angelic and the devilish, dwell in our God Paul, they occasionally come into conflict causing a sudden release of energy. We followers can consider ourselves lucky and blessed when it happens before our humble eyes. [e.g. 🔫 , 🚐, 🌪️, 👉]
Divine decluttering: While the current pope calls on his followers to fight the disposable culture generated by consumerism, our God Paul invites us to throw away anything that has outlived its usefulness, to avoid the unnecessary accumulation of items. [e.g. 💅🏻 , 💥 , 🎀, 🎤]
Celestial mockery: Every so often our God Paul teases or provokes the other Gods, even if they are bigger than him. He fears no one and we followers aspire to be like him. [e.g. 🤡 , 🗣️, 🐸, 🩰]
It must be said that sometimes he overdoes it and thus his fellow Gods lose their patience. They have to scold him and put him back in his place every now and then.
Godly screech: And finally we have the godly screech, that only those who are worthy to be followers survive! For those of you brave enough willing to try and pass the test, you can listen to it here 🔊. Good luck!
