Ich möchte mal fragen wer sind die von der Lindemann Band eigentlich von maria rost

I'm not sure I completely understood your question, but this will be an opportunity to introduce the members of Till's group a little !

Let's start with the singer : Till Lindemann aka Teddybear. Is it really necessary to present him ?

Next we have the "Coven" consisting of Jes Paige, Constance Antoinette and Emily Ruvidich :

Emily : Guitarist from North Carolina and based in Los Angeles. She studied astrophysics before becoming a musician. She performed with the bands "Killer Queen" and "Doll Face" ;

Constance : Keyboard player from West Hollywood. She is also guitarist and keyboardist for "Aesthetic Perfection" and guitarist for Demi Lovato ;

Jes : Guitarist from New York City. She has, among other things, studied with the guitarists Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. Close friend of Joe Letz, they have a project together, which they presented during private shows. She is also a model and actress.

Then there is Danny "Renholdër" Lohner : Bassist for Till, he is best known for his work with Nine Inch Nails with whom he entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He has also worked with Perfect Circle and many other artists.

And we end with Sandy Beaches aka Joe Letz : I'll let you read his biography on Rammwiki. Otherwise Joe is a drummer and DJ, close friend of Richard Kruspe, he appears in several Emigrate videos. He is also a drummer for the bands "Hanzel und Gretyl", "Combichrist" and "Aesthetic Perfection".

Welcome to Silvertown, located at Corriganville (in the Simi Valley, a bit north of Los Angeles) where many a TV an' Movie bad hombre bit the dust,  it's Bank was robbed more times than can be remembered... Even John Ford's US Cavalry rode out of Fort Apache at Corriganville and through movie magic, reappeared in Monument Valley...  In the Saloon you might've rubbed elbows with the great and near great,  Randolph Scott, Gene Autry, John Wayne, The Cisco Kid,  Hopalong Cassidy (drinking Sarsaparilla), Edgar Buchanan, Audie Murphy,  Gene Kelly, Robert Mitchum, Max Baer, Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom, Rin-Tin-Tin, Roy Rogers, Clayton Moore & Jay Silverheels (The Lone Ranger & Tonto),  Captain Midnight, Marshal Matt Dillon, Hoss Cartwright an' all his clan to  Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone or Claude Rains from "The Adventures of Robin Hood",  Richard Boone as Paladin, Steve McQueen the bounty hunter, Nick Adams as Johnny Yuma, or Harvey Lembeck as Eric von Zipper... even Ray (crash) Corrigan hisself...

Today it seems its Bronco Bunny and Kalamity Kitty's turn ta shoot it out... But after emptying Kalamity's Navy Colt an' Bronco's rusty 44 without hittin' anything important, they wrestled around in the dust for a bit, till the Director called time... Then they headed for the Silvertown Hotel for a long soak in the bath an' arguing over who got to use the hair conditioner first... It's all gone now, burned to the ground in the 60s by wildfires, but the memories still linger, on celluloid and video tape...

Flake's podcast - Rhythmic Finesse

podcast 2022-07-12! published 2022-07-13

This time Flake's topic is 'Rhythmic Finesse', which i think can also be interpreted as 'unusual rhythms'. Flake mentions he usually doesn't care for songs with the standard 4/4 pop rhythm very much, they go right through him, they don't 'stick' and therefore he doesn't remember them. But a song that has a different rhythm, that has a few hooks and edges, those songs are the ones he finds interesting.

And as it turns out, he doesn't have to go far to find examples: Fellow Berlin band 'Die Ärzte' are featured with 'Gib Gas lieber Michael Schumacher' right at the start, and 'Monsterparty' at 1h34. Flake considers them one of those bands who are musically better than they usually play.

Some smaller rambles, like at 0h09 on hearing 'Satisfaction' by the Rolling Stones for the first time (he plays a different version for the theme of this podcast) and innocent guy Flake didn't understand what that word meant, so he looked it up in the dictionary, still didn't understand. Then he read a book about a Count duelling with a Knight who said during the duel "I demand satisfaction.." and Flake still didn't understand what it meant. Still doesn't for that matter 😊

At 0h44 he plays Led Zeppelin with Kashmir. Flake and his friends liked this song so much that they created a band with that name, their singer was Swami Dama Adjara, who was one of the few East-Germans who got a new name from Bhagwan (his german name was Micha, that was easier to remember for Flake).

But back to the topic, there is a band who tried many rhythmic variations, and Flake knows this band very well: Feeling B (most of the variations were created by accident by the way🌺), so there's much to enjoy for Feeling B fans:

We have a 5/4 rhythm in 'Die Pest' (1h06) which was created when singer Aljoscha got the idea to do a medieval theme. They got in touch with a medieval-music band from Rostock, and they were the ones who taught Feeling B about the different rhythms. Feeling B's drummer refused to play it, and so the band took Christoph Schneider back (that's what Flake calls him, he doesn't mention that that happens to be the Rammstein drummer now 😊). He had already left the band, because he had been fighting with the band, especially with the singer (Flake admits that it would have been difficult not to, with all the alcohol, and conflicting characters..Flake mentions it's not easy to stay together with a band..."but that's not what this show is about", so we don't get juicy anecdotes 😊). Anyway, he did manage to play a 5/4 rhythm, and that was the start for Feeling B to play more intricate songs. The song features Steve Binetti on leadguitar.

Then 7/8 rhythm (at 1h15) on 'Mystisches Mysterium", songtitle thought up by Aljoscha, because nobody could think of a fitting name (this happens often with bands that Flake plays in 😊)

And then at 1:18 we get a 11/8 rhythm from Die Magdalene Keibel Combo, which is a spin-off band from Feeling B that Flake and Paul Landers created, because Aljoscha was putting ever fewer effort in lyrics, and Flake and Paul didn't like that.

Rammstein isn't played in this podcast, nor mentioned, apart from a sidenote at 0h40 which i still thought was worth mentioning: when Flake announces the band 'The Streets' he adds "I don't call them Mike Skinner and the Streets, because it annoys me when people say 'Till Lindemann and his guys'". 😄

Rammstein is a real 6-man band 😊...but we knew that, didn't we 🍀
