Brussels night one was fun š¤©
Till sounds phenomenal this tour he really does.
End of tour celebrations started early with flake running across the stage with a stick (?) to whip Till during bestrafe mich.
Till humped a stanchion during the DRSG freeze (poor boy is starved I tell you!) before running off with half of Schneiders drum sticks again. Menace to society!
An adult fan jumped into Flake and Schneiders boat. The look Schneider gave Till as they ālandedā was 100% āsorry dadā.
Fans, donāt do that. Itās weird, itās unsafe for the band. We donāt want them to stop doing it because youāre inserting yourself into the show. [rant mode off]
No real moments of emotion like there was in Berlin for me other than āas if Iām here to do this againā kid in a candy shop feeling.
Canāt wait to do it again ā¤ļøāš„
Oh it was an actual whip š
Looked like a stick to my blind eyes at slight distance
bestrafe mich @ brussels - august 3, 2023
Brussels night 2.
Thereās probably so much Iāve forgotten. I almost got my phone notes page out.
Till still sounds phenomenal, Flake went at him with a shorter whip in Bestrafe mich this time.
Till had a mic malfunction at the start of Bestrafe. You could see him spin it in his hands about to yeet it across stage before the thought of the ā¬400 bill crossed his mind. And if heād have hit the tech rushing the new mic to him I could imagine the headlines about workplace bullying and him abusing his position of power (sarcasm).
Richard did a lot of what my partner calls āslut legā wafting his coat out of the way and planting his foot on his mic riser.
Speaking of feet on risers, Schneider and his audacity put his foot on Tills platforms getting a highly theatrical talking to as they bickered their way off stage.
Paul and Schneider beat Till to the drumstick theft at the first bow, throwing most of the contents into the crowd. Of course Till wasnāt outdone and when the rest left for the boats he sneaked back on stage and emptied the rest of the container throwing the sticks with such force im pretty sure the back row caught one.
No crowd boat intrusions, flake received the sparkly cap and it seemed there was an intervention by Paul and Till on Richard for his ābringing inflatable shit backā problem. Both waited for him on the walkway, Paul only retreating when he was sure Richard only had a small cuddly creature (Iām assuming shark).
Mein Teil was fun, the gremlin accomplice hid below stage so the bloody menace to society tugged him back on stage by his ear.
I couldnāt watch just one thing last night, I sort of tried to take in as much of the sights and feels as I could. To feel the bass rumble and the heat of the fire.
One more show for me tonight, I wanted to be here for the last one, but Iām almost certain while itās the last of this run it wonāt be the last last.
Rammstein in the Rain āļø Brussels Night 3 / End of Tour.
I found out my coat wasnāt waterproof anymore on the walk from the tram stop to the entrance. Aces.
Bagged myself the Must have end of tour merch. The ā¬5 rammstein bin bag poncho. Reason 476 I love this band. Theyāre never one to miss out on a little bit of corporate opportunism and banged a rammstein sticker on the poncho packaging. Made a mint too by the looks of it from how many people wore one.
Feuer Zone was oddly empty. I ended up pretty much where Iāve been the last 2 nights (creature of habit, hi) but 2nd row. It didnāt fill up all that much around me either. It felt quite intimate in a way, that there was just me and the few people In my periphery being performed for.
To say it rained, it rained a lot. My trainers had breached by Links and I was wet through to my underwear by the end. Most of the concert I watched through the blurry blotches of rain on my glasses as everything was too wet to try and wipe off. But I laughed, because it was so utterly ridiculous how much it was pouring down. My first night of this tour was Berlinās 36 degree heatwave and my last is 10 degree Brussels where I could see my own breath as I sang along and the steam rising from Till as he sang and somehow still managed to sweat under the lights. His mohawk was flat before the middle of Bestrafe, even Richards usually spiked look ended up framing his face. I said in Berlin, Richard looked like he was living his best rock star life. Last night There was times his expression (and mine tbf) was that of someone definitely questioning their life choices which led them to standing out in the piss down rain for 3 hours.
Anyway, less of the weather chat.
Nothing too crazy happened, there was no mic malfunctions which given the weather was more of a miracle and there was less group wide drum stick liberation this time, Schneider was probably down to his last handful.
Iāve already shared Till joining in the stick man dance spinning his little torches. I half anticipated him coming out in an actual light suit but this was somehow better. I know whenever Iām having a bad day Iāll watch that clip back.
There was more inflatable shit brought back. Sharks, a globe, Paul had a flamingo. Till refused him landing originally with it until Paul had done some convincing. The fee seemed to be a little smooch for Till from both the blow up bird and Paul himself. Richards Intervention the previous night seemed to work as he only brought back a body board and a note. I want an end of tour photo of the band and all of the stuff theyāve collected on their boating adventures please and thank you.
Till wore a beer can helmet for mein teil. Iāve read that one can said āroofiesā the other āKO dropsā but I was too far away to confirm. Probably did though.
He stole Jensā little go pro on a stick and caused some mischief. He didnāt stick it down his pants however which was very unlike Till.
Of the 3 Belgian shows this one felt the least atmospheric crowd energy wise which surprised me given it was the last night but I guess the weather really didnāt help.
No āsee you inā¦.ā Announcement at the end which I am a little sad about but I didnāt expect anything for 2024 anyway. Wait and see. I donāt think it will be long before we know their future plans.
Iām off to the airport on 3 hours sleep, back to reality rather than my Rammstein summer. What a ride.
