The world is far from being freed from Rammstein

Werchter 2010, the big Rammstein interview: "Do not worry, the world has not yet redeemed us"

If a band Werchter fireworks will provide, then it is Rammstein. And you can literally feel, for the six Germans reveal themselves, armed with flamethrowers on the stage as real hobbypyromanen. Ready for a portion flambéed metal on Saturday, July 3? Rammstein guitarist Paul Landers wants it clear from the following interview. Even though he did not last, but ...

Rammstein closes with a living music legend, the Werchter Saturday off: six studio albums, sold over fifteen million records, sold out tours monster, known from New York to Timbuktu. And with German music ... Who the band already live at work saw (in December at the Sports Palace, for example), know the Werchter audience Saturday to expect: riffs that everything they see on their journey will destroy, keyboards that hyperkinetic in pursuit, carrying drums with a precision bombing ... Blitzkrieg in your ears, in short. Added to this is still an über show, including burning a stuntman, a phallus and the necessary flare gun, which very close to the musicians arrive. Is it safe, we ask - always concerned about the welfare of other men - in our best Jean-Marie Pfaff German to guitarist Paul Landers.

"I walk almost every evening light burns," says the 45-year-old Berliner serious. "But do not worry: these are just first-degree burns, which provide no permanent damage. And you have it for free, for a good show. "

You currently touring to promote your latest album "Liebe ist für all da ', which sounds a lot harder than its predecessor" Rosenrot "(2005).

Paul Landers: Right. "Rosenrot" was an epic, trans, bombastic album, including a string. Rammstein with lots of ketchup. Now we wanted to serve again without ketchup Rammstein: straightforward. Back to our roots, yes, because our fans have asked us again to a harder plate.

Back to the roots, which looks like a metal trend, Slayer and Sepultura did, and even Metallica, with 'Death Magnetic'.
Yes, although I failed to find Metallica. We have "Liebe ist für all that 'although a return to our roots, but the album sounds very topical, as Rammstein anno 2010, while Metallica's latest album sounds like they made in the eighties. I found "Death Magnetic" quite disappointing.

Your previous album dating from 2005 already. Suggests that "Liebe ist für all da 'not easily been reached.
We have taken a break after the previous album. Not because we were burned, but because we could afford, we have the money and time. For the first time since the beginning of the band a full year, we do not Rammstein spent. And that was not easy: for example, I myself really need three months 'rehabilitation' of the group, but after that I greatly enjoyed the freedom. I learned to surf with my family and travel. Forced actually, because I had absolutely no sense at first: with Rammstein I travel all around the world almost constantly, so I could pack my bags again. But I've learned that traveling with the family something else. It is - how shall I say diplomatically? - A lot more relaxing (laughs).
A year before we have withdrawn the studio, we then start working on new music, albeit in a different way than before: the previous albums, all worked separately and in the end we brought the different pieces together. This time it was the beginning of teamwork. Because we had played together so long, we really enjoy it with six new musical works. It went really well, because we soon had 50 useful ideas, which we at one point overwhelmed by the sight. We have thrown away half, and then it went better, even if an album to record an agony: planing, planing and planing again, until finally the desired result is achieved.

Your latest album is a time to put the index in Germany and could not be sold to minors because, in more unsafe sex and dangerous practices sm would propagate. For the first single from "Liebe ist für all da ',' Pussy ', then you turned back an outright porn clip. Furthermore, the album has a song about Fritzl incest case, that you live with exploding baby dolls. Can you for everything, or are there limits?
Look, one artist named Albrecht Dürer and painted a hare. The other named Hieronymus Bosch painting and gruesome scenes. Bosch wanted because I do not provoke, but since those aspects of life interested him and what he thought was too good. So it is with us. Rammstein is the Hieronymus Bosch of the music (laughs). And yes, we are keen to find the limits. Does not mean that anything goes, and we do everything without thinking. That porn clip, for example, was the brainchild of the director, and not everyone was immediately enthusiastic. Rammstein but works as a democracy, no right of veto. If four of the six for an idea, we do it.

What this indexing is concerned, yes, that will certainly be typically German? Abroad, we are anyway more appreciated than at home. Many compatriots still have difficulty with the fact that we sing in German, German-that we are not desperately trying to hide. Many Germans still have problems with their origins and history, and will remain so for some time yet.

Ever considered switching to English?
We have ever tried, but that was not really a successful experiment. For "Pussy", which has an English chorus, we have in the beginning verses written English, but this worked just not. To the extent that the English record company we kindly asked for the verses anyway in German writing (laughs).

At the very beginning of Rammstein We said that we in German an international career would never have, and we had to switch to English, "Yes, we have no international career," when we answer. And look: now we have fifteen million albums sold (laughs).

You are on Saturday, July 3 as a headliner on the stage Werchter. What can the audience expect?
Our festival shows differ little from our room shows. So expect a mix of new songs and old hits, and lots of visual effects. I do like playing at festivals, if only because you as a musician the opportunity to play a lot of other bands to see. It is our third time Werchter. Well, I regret that we are headlining. Then you play the last group after a long festival, which means that the public tired and in some cases even just drunk. These are not exactly ideal conditions for a band. So I prefer to play earlier in the day. But most bands do not occur after us because they fear that their music will drown after our theater.

Your current tour includes more than 200 concerts and lasts a total of three years. Rammstein is now fifteen years. And you are forty. Will there ever thought at the end of Rammstein?
Actually we think it right from the beginning (laughs). They are mad of years, We have big fights had some have some time contact with reality lost, others have ego trip-times through, but it is ultimately always well received, and eigenljk the atmosphere in the group never been so harmonious. Almost eerie harmony even. Rammstein was really never much fun as now. So do not worry: the world is not yet redeemed us. But one thing I can reveal it: After this tour we take another break. A new album will be so at the earliest late 2013.
