Rammstein Meet and Greet in Mexico City 10/02/22
Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting four of the rammboys before their show in Mexico City and thought it’d be nice to share my experience (plus I’ll be able to reread and relive this every day for the rest of my life) ♥️
Get ready for a very long post:
Oliver:
He was serious but very kind. He came, greeted me quietly, smiled a bit when he heard me greeting him in German, signed my book and then left before we could have our picture taken because Tom (their meet & greet assistant) got distracted by someone and forgot to take it. I have to admit that I freaked a bit about that cause I thought I had missed my opportunity but Tom noticed immediately and asked Oli to come back.
We shot the pic and then I moved to the side to let him pass through but instead of that he stepped really close to me (which ofc made me scream internally) and without saying a word, he took the book from my hands and started flipping through it, then he saw the cover with a really confused face, gave it back to me and left. That’s when I started wondering if the band actually know about the merch they sell cause he looked as if he didn’t know what that was.
Flake:
He was so happy and cheerful the entire time. He greeted me in English and when I answered in German he gave me a huge smile and switched for the rest of our chat which went a bit like this:
(I handed him the book and he saw the pic I had chosen of him)
Flake: (laughing) „Das bin nicht ich!“ - That’s not me!
Me: „Was meinst du damit? Natürlich bist du das!“ - What do you mean? Of course that’s you!
Flake: (laughing even harder) „Nein, nein. Das gefällt mir nicht, das bin ich nicht“ - No, no. I don’t like that. That’s not me.
Me: „Wer ist es dann?“ - Who is it then?
Flake: (still laughing) „Ich weiß nicht, lass uns nach einem anderen Foto suchen“ - I don’t know, let’s look for another photo.
(We flipped through the pages until he saw one he actually liked)
Flake: „Sieh dir das an, das bin ich“ - Look at that one, that’s me.
(He signed it, we had our photo taken and then he started inspecting the book the same way Oli had)
Flake: (surprised) „Wo kauftest du es?“ - Where did you buy this?
Me: „In dem Rammstein Shop” - In the Rammstein shop
Flake: „Wirklich? Toll! Ich hatte es nicht gesehen! Sowieso, vielen Dank, viel Spaß bei der Show! - Really? Cool! I hadn’t seen it! Anyway, thank you so much, have fun at the show!
Me: „Vielen Dank!“ - Thank you!
Flake: (laughing as he walked away) „Aber das war nicht ich!“ - Still that wasn’t me!
Me: „Das bist du doch!“ - It is you!
After that I think someone asked him about the meaning of his nickname, to which he answered “Flake es flaquito” (“skinny” in Spanish)
Paul:
He arrived before Flake left and told him, wearing his usual cheeky grin, to speak Berlinerisch Deutsch with us. Then he greeted me in English and laughed really loud when he saw his pic on the book. I asked to hug him, to which he answered „Ja doch!“ (yes, of course!) and gave me a big nice hug (I wished that Tom had taken our photo in that moment but sadly didn’t). Then he wished me fun at the show and left.
After that, a girl showed him a photo of him and Richard kissing and asked him if they’d do it that night, he only laughed and said “We’ll see what happens”.
Till:
We knew he was coming cause he almost kicked the wall to the ground before coming in. He was super nice the entire time, spoke to everyone in Spanish and joked around a lot. Once he came to me, I totally froze and couldn’t do more than greet him and show him his pic on the book. He noticed my reaction with a smile and was very kind about it, he signed my book and then I somehow managed to ask if I could hug him. He immediately embraced me super tight and then we had our photo taken.
After that I was about to let him go but he held me tighter and started growling loudly. That’s when I finally came to my senses, I looked up to him and laughed but in a second he had already picked me up and was dragging me out of the room. Everyone started screaming and I told him “you can take me with you if you want, I’d be happy to go” to which he laughed, gave me a peck in the head and let me go. Then he took my hand gently and led me back to the group. Finally he shook my hand, made a bow and said it was really nice to meet me.
The meet & greet ended shortly after that and we were led back to the stage area. It’s needless to say that it was the best day of my life.

Whoever did Richard’s makeup for the 2022 Mexico shows deserves a kiss on the mouth
Hello 👋
The person(s) who were responsible for his makeup and look back in Mexico deserve everything. A kiss on the mouth, a hug so tight to crush ribs, a raise and a bonus worth to be able to buy like a yacht and everything this person dreams of because Richard's look was CHEF'S KISS. The hair, the makeup, his outfit...I just let the picture material speak for itself:
But just imagine, maybe it was himself who put on this wonderful dark vampire-esque makeup - he also would deserve everything 😌

Paul Landers playing in Mexico City, 2022.
"We consider the Mexican fans as the most enthusiastic. For us, it's always like coming home when we come to play to Mexico. We like the colourful sarapes and the colourful handicrafts; the Mexican airline gave us mango with chilli and, of course, tequila, which has already caused us so many headaches!" | Paul for the fansite Rammstein-Mexico in 2011
