#rammstein opinions

[notafraidofredyellowandblue]

Seemingly unpopular opinion - I really like piano version of Engel and don't like the current Rammlied intro. I prefer the MSG version a lot more. Thoughts?

oh, i'm never up to speed with what opinions are popular or not 😊 mine is probably even more unpopular: why not leave Engel off the setlist altogether 😄

Rammlied...

2023

Madison Square garden (2010)

I'm undecided on this, i like the touch with the lift sequence in 2023, and i think there has been some cutting back on the pyro in general, but the 2010 version seems a bit more powerful musicwise as well...but then, maybe that's because 2010 is an officially published concert so the sound may have been improved a bit on that....maybe i should listen to a view more versions to decide 😇

Is it an unpopular opinion that i think Armee der Tristen in 2022 was a perfect starter? 🌺

#rammstein opinions #we all have them

[marimayscarlett]

Obviously, I'm just speculating, but taking from what Schneider said last year - I don't think the rest of the guys were ever jealous of Till's solo work. Why would they be? Especially after Emigrate. Richard and Till clearly need a bigger let out than Rammstein can provide, and if it doesn't interfere with Rammstein, then why not? But unlike Emigrate, Lindemann went on tour. Garnered negativity that reflected onto the band. And most importantly, unlike Richard, Till got further away from them. He didn't want to and couldn't spend more time with them as individuals and as a band member. He got a new friend group, new entourage, which integrated into Rammstein and put an even bigger wedge between them. Till even stopped flying with them! And that what might've caused resentment caused by fear. Is Till quitting Rammstein? Is he even still our friend?

And Richard had a fight with Zoran before the backstage bj video which btw was tasteless and lowkey offensive to the band and the crew. Mein Teil is a great video but they've made some masterpieces since then. None of which had to involve sado masochism veiling itself as "being misunderstood".

I've nothing against Till doing what he's doing, he has every right to it but I also believe that last years incident should've been a massive eye opener (not the fucking young women part. He made it very clear with his poem that he doesn't care what we think about that) but that if he wants Rammstein to continue, he cannot lead a double life. Richard managed to separate Rammstein-self and Emigrate-self whilst still maintaining both full time. Till completely failed that, clearly deeply hurting 5 other individuals in the process. It was easier for him to do what he wants and ice everyone out. It's better if they took a long, long break than ruin 30+ year relationship with silence.

As for Zoran. He's just bitter. If post Zoran Rammstein videos are Ali Express, then wtf does that make him? Because no one even knew of him before the band and certainly he's not making any headlines post band. His only saving grace was Till but even then, his Lindemann videos aren't even the best ones..

Hi and thank you for the time and effort you put into writing this out 👋

I will work my way through this message and will add some of my own thoughts to it - this will be subjectiv and not everyone has to agree with everything.

It is true that Till and Richard both needed an additional outlet for their creative processes - the difference is that Till treats his solo project like a normal band and likes to go on tour (Richard mentioned this in one interview once that touring is a vital part for Till's creative life), while Richard treats his more like a studio project. Going out, touring with a stage show like his, putting out videos in this very style which is seen as 'typical Till' by now I might say - all this can serve as a target for misunderstanding, resentment, problems in general.

I do sometimes wonder why he takes these risks (after last summer more than ever). I know he as an artist has his own visions and wants them to come to life, which is his right - but I sometimes ask myself if it's worth it. If it's worth it that others have to deal with the problems his work/behavious has caused. But then again: it's none of my business and he has the freedom to do as he pleases.

I used this ask as an impetus to read Schneider's statement again (something which still triggers me a bit and which i haven't done in over half a year), and Schneider writes this: "Till has distanced himself from us in recent years and created his own bubble. With his own people, his own parties, his own projects. That made me sad, definitely." While I never understood this as being criticism towards Till having his musical side project, I do see it as criticism on how he treats it and how he handles things around it - between the lines there is (at least from my point of view) definitely discontent and concern. So I do believe the band doesn't see anything wrong with having side projects (in Richard's case they were even happy and relieved about it), but maybe in the trend of side projects demanding too much attention or developping possible unpleasant characteristics/outgrowths.

One can only hope that the last year really served Till as a wake up call to overthink some structures which gained influence around him.

"It's better if they took a long, long break than ruin 30+ year relationship with silence." I'm honestly not sure about this and I don't know what good a break would do in this case - since seemingly nothing incriminating had happend, there's no reason for a break in this regard, and maybe, just maybe, it's good for the band to work together this year, in their anniversary year, to actually feel close to each other, to reminisce together, something in this regard.

Regarding Zoran: Like I said in the post I reblogged, I find it highly conceited of him to quite literally say that every thing that came after him music video-wise, every art work from another director is inferior to his work in its quality (hence the 'AliExpress' metaphor). If he really means it that way, it's quite laughable to be honest. In my opinion, he is resting too much on his laurels he garnered from 'Mein Teil' - which admittedly had an immense effect and gave us Frau Schneider, and from "saving" 'Mein Herz brennt', but to say that the music videos of 'Deutschland', 'Adieu' or 'Zeit' are below his standards is mind-boggling to me (if I understand his allusion correctly).

Zoran's Lindemann videos are not my taste, and saying he wanted to express lonliness and insatiableness with a porn-video seems hypocritical and sends out 'oh I'm an artist, of course nobody understands me correctly'-pick me vibes. I'm not surprised that a lot of people who respects their own work didn't want to work with someone anymore who made a project like 'Till the end'.

Controversial opinion

Some Rammstein fans are going to be very mad at me..but it has to be said sooner or later. The best option for Rammstein right now, if they wish to salvage themselves and their reputation as a group,is to cancel the current tour and to either break up or take a very long break. This is based on Till's behaviour. Because for the general public,the other 5 members of the group do not matter. They think Till=Rammstein. That is quite dangerous considering the fucked up shit Till is doing. I don't want them to break up,but if they don't,they're gonna be dragged down through Till's current downward spiral.

I get that you're perhaps in denial...but this has to be posted.

To be very honest, part of me is so completely unfazed by this whole situation because like… omg you mean to tell me that the man who gets his sex secretary to pick out cute young women from a crowd of adoring fans to go to the after party/after-after party is getting accused of creating a dangerous environment/resulted in one of these girls getting potentially assaulted? Shocking.

I’m not saying this in a way that’s dismissive of any potential harm that has been caused or victim blaming any girls that did get harmed, absolutely not; I’m more so turning the question back onto people who are so hardlined about “no, he didn’t.” Like on a wholistic level it almost doesn’t matter because, at the end of the day, this whole system by the Lindemann posey is insanely predatory in nature.

Whatever.

Some people need to hear this:

I'm not the biggest fan of Abelard, but they are who was chosen to perform! Even if it's not to everyone's taste, they are undoubtedly talented and deserve some form of recognition. If you're so up in arms about the opener, show up late to the concert or just don't go at all! But there is no need to harass the performers themselves, or go on long-ass rude tirades in comment sections or anything like that. Something didn't go your way- grow up.

#abelard #rammstein #this has nothing to do with having an opinion rather how you voice your opinion #its just a concert at the end of the day #dont be a dick #this was liberally just announced and the shit of seen from some people is just abhorent

For my metalheads, I'm stuck. Thoughts on the Rammstein/Till Lindemann situation now that charges have been dropped?

#rammstein #till lindemann #metal music #alternative music #i completely stopped listening to them when the accusations came out. now that ive seen an update im just.... not sure #so put ur personal opinions and let me know how you feel bc me my boyfriend and my bestie are all stumped #it would really help if anyone knows the german law system a little and can explain on what grounds the charges were dropped and how it #looks from ur pov because i only have an american POV for laws and such

[boyohazard]

the dom/top comment. what you think of Till? I have... thoughts.

I think Till is likely a service top. He's very clearly a masochist, and he also clearly enjoys being dominated, but he doesn't really strike me as a bottom. But I also feel like he could dom if he really wanted to. He's a very complex person, honestly, and I feel it's the same in the bedroom.

#lucasposting #ask an ed #in my tillchard fantasies he's definitely a dom cuz richard definitely isn't #but he'd also be an excellent sub for paul or schneider or flake #(i don't rly have any opinions about oli cuz he clearly wants his privacy and i wanna respect that) #rammstein #till

(fire emoji) unpopular opinion on mr zee kay?

Huh, you really got me thinking. I saw this ask in my inbox a few hours ago and my brain went like this for solid three hours:

While I don't have the big unpopular opinion about him (since the Zee Kay girlies on here are pretty much united when it comes to stuff about him), I have some tini tiny opinions concerning him which maybe not many people share:

I grew to absolutely love his early 2000s eyebrows. They give him kind of like a dainty/fruity/yet cool look, I slowly really start to love them.

I am not the biggest fan of the sleeve thingies he picked up on wearing during the LIFAD tour and still wears today. It looks kind of try-hard in my eyes, I could do without them.

Sometimes I think it would've been good if he hadn't shared too much about his kids online, especially about his youngest daughter Maxime. The family pics and music videos are cute and all, and he sure is a dedicated father, but from a mother's point of view and after some research about the topic of posting children online, I don't think it's the best idea.

Maybe not an unpopular opinion but something which is super rarely talked about: I love how friendly, interested and polite he is in most interviews. He really takes his time for his answers, engages with the interviewer like it's a normal conversation, asks counterquestions, commends good research by the journalist and is pretty diplomatic even if some questions are downright impertinent. It's a joy to listen to him or read his answers. Like I said, not really an unpopular opinion, but something not really talked about (at least I have that feeling) 😇

For those who still believe Till Lindemann is innocent...an innocent man truly wouldn't try to attack newspapers and file lawsuits for defamation,and he has lost 3 of them (that we know of). You wouldn't do this unless your power is in danger. I also got a feeling that NDAs are also involved here,and that we will hear about more allegations during the tour. Cause after all,the eyes are on Rammstein during the tour. And I truly want justice for the victims and that Till gets what he deserves,that is losing his power,cause in my opinion,he's probably needs something really drastic to stop acting the way he has since 2020.

Now that it seems that Rammstein are in the green, legally speaking, I really hope they make all the necessary announcements and then leave it alone.

I've read they intend to take further legal action against certain publications for their biased reporting which, yeah, that's absolutely fair. The reporting on this case has been abysmal - lacking in accuracy and the necessary neutral voice for these sorts of cases. I do not mind a battle, or three, between Rammstein and the tabloids.

What I really hope is that they don't come after any of the people who came forward. And, yes, that includes Shelby.

Think what you will about these individuals, but I do not believe legal action will achieve anything. It will not correct the damage done, nor will it make Rammstein any friends. I do not believe any of those who came out did so with malice. They may have achieved it, but their intentions and their personal feelings remain true. As such, continuing to engage with them is just beating a dead horse and opens them up to far more abuse than the system could ever deal out.

Rammstein will be fine. They've been damaged (that's for sure) but they've handled this situation well and have show they've earnt the trust of their fans. They will survive and, hell, are likely to thrive, but for now let them rest.

Of course Till Lindemann randomly publishes a heavy, partly first person crime splatter short movie on youtube in russia (there are subs) 😅 🤷‍♂️
