Happy B-Day Paul!!

There was an evolution, and has worked for us. If we compare the Rammstein with a large boat, has been very difficult to change course and appearance of the boat. All we did was change a little direction, but if you want us to compare to David Bowie or The Ramones, will not work. We are not so, we follow the same line. A line in ascending ...

Paul Landers




Fanstein, end of semester at the Uni for some of the school year for other continuous or just routine work for most people of our country. The point is that, as a rule, in December means VACATION. And after a brief season without major news of the band, except that Till Lindemann contracted a bad cold around day 03/12 - was it the "fever"? - Apparently contaminating the entire band, causing partial loss of their natural speech, ie, he was hoarse. This resulted in the cancellation of the show would happen in Luxembourg the next day (04/12), with then the need to mark it down for 31/01/2010.

To the pandemic and its impact on musical entertainment, blessed be the great Paul Landers, who today complete its 45 years existence. Toast to all the talented musician of Rammstein! Born on December 09, 1964, few know the real name is Heiko Paul Landers Hiersche who was born in East Berlin, contrary to what many sources have reported on the band. The discussion, moreover, if he would be the only member not-Rammstein-German, to the world in Бярэсьце (huh? Belarus), is old and outdated - his mother was Russian. Lived in Moscow for a short time as a child, contributing to its current fluency in Russian, although they can not read or write the language. At 16, he left his parents due to conflicts with his stepfather - the time you took the first name Heiko, second only Paul Hiersche to honor his father.

The guitarist's musical career began in 1983, the East German punk band called Feeling B, his colleague being Christian "Flake" Lorenz and Aljoscha Rompe - after, Christoph Schneider would play in that too. In 1986, Paul formed the First Arsch, along with Till Lindemann and Richard Kruspe. Besides these, he played in other less famous, such as Die Firma and Die Magdalene keibel combo. Years later, he and Flake join Till, Richard Schneider and Riedel, forming the current group Rammstein.

The personal life, finally, Paul definitely changed the name when in 1984 he married Nikki Landers to 20 years old, joined the surname of his wife with the first name of the father (Paul Hiersche). They had a son named Emil and divorced in 1987. Still, preferred to keep its current name. He also had a daughter later, the result of another relationship. Moved Flake's house after his divorce with Nikki for a long time. He developed a strong personality because of jokes about his height (current: 1.69 m) and therefore is very humorous - good humor helped him overcome childhood nicknames.
