I am emotionally invested in this reddit thread about someone apparently finding original Rammstein music video tapes just thrown on the ground in Berlin?! And nobody knows where it's at now or if someone saved it?!

And now we wait for the anniversary stuff 😍

Rammstein are imo very unpredictable with what stuff they release and when, but i do hope that the 30 year anniversary will really bring us something nice, and it's not just something we as fans came up with 🌺

Doom, a demon from Hell, is assigned to a mission where he has to kill the members of a band named Rammstein.

A simple task, in theory, but Doom didn’t expect to start appreciating his victims, especially the bassist, Oliver.

i should have probably known my top 5 would include something eurovision-related

I sometimes wonder if where Richard lives is somewhere close to where the guys used to hang out in the early days. Prenzlauer Berg isn't that big, so I'm curious if there's any significance to the building because before he bought it, it wasn't much of anything (like most of PB).

It kinda sucks that early Rammstein days are not that well documented, at least not as extensively as Feeling B. I'm sure Paul has loads of photos, but no one filmed them that much.

Hi 👋

As a matter of fact, Richard apparently really does live close to precisely two locations which were rather significant in the early days of Rammstein.

In this interview, it is mentioned that his house is located near the spot where the Knaack Club existed. Here, Rammstein played their first concerts in the beginning of their career as well as when they were already very popular - this location doesn't seem to be that important to Richard, but the second one which is mentioned: near the Knaack Club, the former rehearsal room of Rammstein was located, which holds fond memories for him.

[Rammstein at the Knaack Club in 2004. They played three concerts to present their new album "Reise Reise" to their fans]

It's interesting to note that despite having lived at Prenzlauer Berg very early on (he moved there for I think two years when he was 19, but felt very lonely in this part of the city and spend most of his time playing guitar, mentioned here) and many memories were made there, Richard really isn't a big fan of the city. He mentioned numerous times that Berlin striked him as cold and elitist and doesn't overly feel like home, at least when he moved back there after his time in New York. Slowly he warmed up to the city, he doesn't really know where else he should live in Germany (mentioned here) and as a father, Richard is amazed how many playgrounds there are in Prenzlauer Berg 😊

Prenzlauer Berg in general is apparently in the process of heavy gentrification (a reason why the Knaack Club had to close its doors), which Richard heavily critizes, and he thinks that Prenzlauer Berg got rather boring now that a lot of artists can't afford the rent anymore. If he hadn't any personal relations to this district, he would've most likely live in Kreuzberg.

I don't know if the building held any significance before Richard bought it - he once mentioned that he actually didn't like the building in the beginning and only bought it because of the rooftop 😅

Regarding the documentation about the early Rammstein days: it really is noticeable that Feeling B has an extensive "archive" with videos and picture materials as well as a whole book ("Mix mir einen Drink") dedicated to their history. The book holds some information about the formation of Rammstein, but not a lot. There are two documentaries about punk music in the GDR in general, which also has some Rammstein/pre-Rammstein information (I can sadly only link the trailers since you have to buy them to watch them):

"flüstern & SCHREIEN - Ein Rockreport"

"ACHTUNG! WIR KOMMEN. UND WIR KRIEGEN EUCH ALLE."

A fotobook with Paul's pre-Rammstein pictures would be very informative, as well as some more picture material of the numerous other bands the band members originated from (Orgasm Death Gimmick, Die Firma, Das elegante Chaos, The Inchtabokatables and more). Well, we can dream 😊

So, I recently went insane and wrote a Paulchard fic. I haven’t written fanfiction in nearly ten years, but I have spent the last few weeks working on a fic, because this band has taken over my brain and the inspiration took me. Paulchard is so strong it hijacked my brain and fanfic came out.

To be honest, I'm a little shy about posting it, because I haven’t posted anything in so long and I don’t have a Rammstein-themed blog. I'm more of a lurker (I follow way too many rammstein blogs). But I’m also excited because it seems like a pretty chill fandom. Please be gentle. I hope it can bring even just one person some joy. Thanks @marimayscarlett for encouraging me to make this post!

Summary:

Eddie always said Corroded Coffin was a band that was ‘big enough’—and Steve generally agreed. They were big enough that the core of their fanbase had evolved from late-80s metalheads to include the vaguely obsessive diehards of the internet era who picked apart liner notes like they held the answers to god and the universe and everything, but they still never had to dodge the paps outside their house. It was weird, but the band was fucking weird, and Steve-and-Eddie were likewise pretty goddamn weird, so it mostly worked out fine. Until the fans started questioning the stupidly out-of-place performance credit listed on track fucking nine once Studio Album Seven finally got its release date. - - - Or: it is perhaps deeply unfortunate that, on the album that Corroded Coffin agrees to release a limited edition box set of custom-cast fucking dildos for, Steve Harrington is unwittingly listed as a contributing musician. Or else: maybe it’s not unfortunate. At all.

Thanks for the rec!

To absolutely no-one's surprise, I have Paulchard on the brain again 💙

This little story is inspired by an interview i heard a while back. I won't say which one, because i don't want to spoil. Hope you enjoy!

Note: In the past, I posted my fanfic to @22ndcentury, my other blog, but I've decided to start posting these on my main blog now

I did it.

It's the last chapter of A mistake can change your life, and I'm incredibly sad, I'm going to miss this story.

I hope some of you will enjoy it :)

with the previously unknown pictures from his younher days Richard posted on his IG in recent months...imagine how many more photos there are out there... they really need to do another photobook or something.. (and Paul used to make photos as well over the years...loads of those still in the archives as well i bet..) 😊
