Biography
There are few people in the world who do not know about the cult German group of Rammstein, and some of the name of this team are associated with Germany. This is not surprising, because the musicians please their fans with songs, concerts and clips from 1994. The success of the group, its unchanged composition and friendship of participants contributed to success.History of creation and team
If we talk about the participants of the metal group Rammstein, then there is not enough books, because the biography of each musician is saturated with interesting facts. For example, the leader of the group and part-time guitarist Richard Kropaier did the struggle before, and the frontman Tille Lindemann was seriously fond of swimming. He had the opportunity to speak at the Olympics, however, due to the injury of the abdominal muscles about the sports career I had to forget.
As for the history of the Group's creation, the team was formed in Berlin, this event occurred in January 1994. However, it all started much earlier. The fact is that Guitarist Richard Kropa from childhood dreamed of becoming a rock star and conquer his music the whole world.
As a child, Richard Fanatel from the American group Kiss. A poster with musicians who were impressive not only by their songs, but also causing make-up, hung a boy in the room and was a favorite subject of the interior. Being abroad, Kruple acquired a guitar to sell it on the territory of the GDR for good money, but when an unfamiliar girl asked the guy to show a couple of chords, he decided to impress her.
Trying to interest the listener, Richard ineffed and intuitively moved the guitar strings one after another. To his surprise, such improvisation was impressed by a girl who praised a young man, saying that he had the potential. It became a kind of push and motivation for Kro., besides, he realized that the girls were crazy about guitarists.
The guy understood that learn to the game would be difficult to learn, so he entered the music school, where he surprised the teacher with his talent and the desire. Obsessed by guitar rhythms, Kropa was engaged at 6 hours a day.
Soon, Richard got a goal: he wanted to create a rock band, the more the idea of the ideal musical team he already had. Inspired by the beloved Kiss, the young man dreamed of joining hard rock with an electronic sound of Industrial.
Initially, Kruspie performed from little-known musicians, starting a career in Orgasm Death Gimmick. But then the fate knitted him with Tille Lindemann, who was a drummer in the group First Arsch. Men began to normally communicate, and soon Richard persuaded Tilly to become a member of a new rock band.
By the way, Lindemann was surprised by the persistence of his friend, for he did not consider himself a talented musician: when Tille was small, Mom told him that instead of singing he publishes only noise. However, becoming a full participant of Rammstein, he did not give his hands and tried to achieve the desired sound.
It is known that the vocalist was trained at the star of the Opera House. For the development of the diaphragm, Lindemann sang, lifting a chair above his head, and also pressed, which made it possible to achieve significant results. Further, the bassist Oliver Ridel and the drummer Christoph Schneider also joined Karusche and Lindemann.
Thus, in the capital of Germany, Rammstein group was formed. Then the guys still did not know that the name of the rock collective will thunder on the whole world, because until mid-1994, they acted only on parties and parties. A year later, the rest of the participants joined the guys - Guitarist Paul Landers and Keystone Christian Lorenz, memorized by his eccentric behavior.
It is noteworthy that the initial composition of the group never changed and preserved to this day that it is rarely found on the rock scene. Although the idea of creating a musical team belongs to Richard Kropa, and the center of attention of fans is Lindemann, it cannot be said that the rest of the participants remain in the shadows.
If we talk about the name of the group, then it originated spontaneously. It is worth noting that the Germans love to make various neologisms, Christof Schneider, Paul Landers and Christian Lorenz, were engaged, when they came up with a name for rock collective.
"We wrote Rammstein with two" M ", because they did not know that the name of the city is written with one. At first, we called ourselves as joking, but the name stuck to us as an unloved nick. We are still looking for - Milch ("Milk"), or Erde ("Earth"), or Mutter ("Mother"), but the name has already been fixed, "the participants were confirmed in an interview.By the way, the word "Rammstein" is translated into Russian as a "Thalestone Stone", so some fans spend analogy with Rolling Stones.
Already adhering to the guys, the nickname played with them a sorry joke. The fact is that in 1988, Airshow took place in the town of Ramstein. Three military aircraft conducted demonstration performances, but instead of a beautiful maneuver in the air, a clash happened, and they collapsed on the crowd of people.
The musicians learned about this tragedy after the team was already given. Becoming popular, the group has long distranged the relationship between its name and the tragedy site. But sometimes not to respond to already boring questions, artists say that in this way gave tribute to those who died in a catastrophe.
Music
On February 19, 1994, Rammstein won a contest of young groups in Berlin, performing the hits of Das Alte Leid, Seemann, Weißes Fleisch, Rammstein, Du Riechst So Gut and Schwarzes Glas. Thus, the guys received the right to record on a professional studio.After successful samples, the musicians signed a contract with Motor Music, only the recording of the debut album of the group discography moved slowly, because the guys worked not in their native Germany, but in Sweden under the control of the producer Jacob Helner. This union acting to this day turned out to be very successful.
Then the Germans still did not know how to act in the world of show business, but it was clear one thing - the guys need a person who could send them to the right track. To find a producer, guys went shopping and wrote covers from names. The first cooperation turned out to be unsuccessful, but for the second time they came across Helner, who also became the author of the remix to the song du Hast.
Herzeleid debut album, which is translated as "cardiac pain", came out on September 29, 1995. It is noteworthy that the collection of the collection, where the participants of the collective stand are bare on the background of the flower, caused a rapid reaction of critics, which noted that they extol themselves as a "dominant race". Later the cover was changed.
In the album where the guys demonstrated the music genres Neue Deutsche Härte and Industrial Metal, 11 songs differing in semantic diversity. Rammstein loves to pin the public, so for those who teach German, the translation of some songs can be a real shock, but others see the highlight.
For example, the single HEIRATE MICH tells about necrophilia, Laichzeit - about instications, and Weißes Fleisch talks about Maniac, who tried to rape his sacrifice. Musicians have tracks dedicated to the character of superhero films by Iron Man (Eisenmann), as well as a catastrophe of the century - Chernobyl. But it is impossible to say that all the hits of the Germans are saturated with black humor and cruelty: very often in the Rammstein repertoire there are lyrical texts about love (Stirb Nicht Vor Mir, Amour, Rosenrot).
The author of all texts of the group (in addition to Caver versions) is Lindemann himself. Frontman extremely rarely uses obscene vocabulary than he was famous, for example, Yuri Hoy from the Gaza Sector, but reaches the desired effect due to the semantic load.
In addition, men please fans ballads. Dalai Lama's song is the interpretation of the work of Johann Goethe called "Forest King".
As for the development of a career after the release of the first album, the next studio entry the musicians were waiting for several years. The second collection of SEHNSUCHT songs was released in 1997 and immediately became platinum, but the third "Studio" Mutter (2001) brought world famous fame.
Next, the discography of the Germans was replenished with Reise, Reise (2004) albums, Liebe IST Für Alle Da (2009). The program with new songs was presented at concerts in Russia within the framework of the European Tour.
Rammstein also produces individual singles, and the group's highlight is a pyrotechnic show, surprising fans, fire and heavy rock. But sometimes Tille likes to visually shock, which is just a broken forehead and a burning cloak.
In 2015, Tille admitted that the Group plans to release a new album. In addition to their own compositions, during this period in the repertoire of German musicians, a Caver appears on the hit of the Russian performer Zhanna Friske "La La La". And in the spring of 2017, Kruspe reported that Rammstein wrote 35 new songs.
It is impossible to say that in 2018, Rammstein remains in the shade. The frontman of the group managed to draw the attention of fans and journalists. The singer visited the Festival "Heat", where he visited Gregory Leps, faith of Brezhneva, Fame, Olga Buzova, Alexander Revv and other artists.
The soloist has fun in the circle of the Russian pop stars, but it is not known how communication took place, since, according to the singer, in Russian, he knows only a few matel words.
The video motion of the scandalists is replenished with a clip on the Sonne song, in the plot of which the interpretation of the fairy tale "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is used. The main female role in the roller was given to the Russian model of Julia Stepanova.
During this period, special attention from the Russian and Ukrainian fans appears to the personal life of the Group's leader: the public speaks of Tilla's novel with Svetlana Loboda. Photo pairs are slipped on the net, but the artists themselves keep silence.
Scandals
The creative activity of the group throughout the career is conjugate with scandals. Already at the first concerts, artists began to apply special effects that were to use pyrotechnics, provocative leavings, in the use of man and artificial blood boutics.
Such behavior of performers often did not fit into the formats of channels, on which musicians were given the opportunity to speak. In the Hanging Out program, which was published in English MTV, contrary to the ban on the leadership, Tille still crushed the capsule with the bouton blood in the lively than the anger of the project authors. Later, the scandalous debut has long remained a stumbling block between metal idols and the most popular musical television.
The disadvantaged behavior of artists on the stage was a reason for their arrest in the town of Uterna during the Rammshtein tour of the United States of America. After the concert, the leaders of the group were detained and accompanied into a plot for immoral behavior on the scene. The case ended in court. The musicians received 6 months conditionally.
The clip appeared in 1998 for the single Stripped became the reason why accusations of radicalism and support for the ideas of National Socialists fell into the group's address. The fact is that the video used video from the documentary film Lazy Riephental "Olympia".
Sports aesthetics of frames attracted Tillantly as a former swimmer. He did not think about the political component of the plot of the plot of the film. Despite the fact that the TV clip was forbidden to show earlier than 22 pm, the artists did not remove provocative frames from it.
Rammstein now
Now the team continues to "blow up" concert halls with its irretending energy and shaking the Internet shocking video. In 2019, another clip was presented for the song Deutschland, in which references to the Nazi past Germany.In February 2020, the Group released the scandalous clip TILL THE END, which used porn elements. The roller was created in St. Petersburg. Publication Video received a negative response to the public. In Russia, in a number of cities, calls were made demanding to prohibit the performance of the German team in the framework of the world touring tour, about which the group had previously informed from the personal page in "Instagram".
