My favourite (bloody) menace to society and his gremlin accomplice ❤️🔥
My two cuties 🥰 (Brussels, Belgium, 03-08-2023) @ lo_rdl
Brussels night 2.
There’s probably so much I’ve 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 €400 bill crossed his mind. And if he’d 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 ‘slut leg’ 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 wasn’t 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 ‘bringing inflatable shit back’ problem. Both waited for him on the walkway, Paul only retreating when he was sure Richard only had a small cuddly creature (I’m 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 couldn’t 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 I’m almost certain while it’s the last of this run it won’t be the last last.
I have trenchfoot and my hands look like I’ve been in the bath it’s rained so ridiculously hard but I had to share this before the train has even left the stadium.
Spin those lights crazy bear!
Rammstein in the Rain ☔️ Brussels Night 3 / End of Tour.
I found out my coat wasn’t waterproof anymore on the walk from the tram stop to the entrance. Aces.
Bagged myself the Must have end of tour merch. The €5 rammstein bin bag poncho. Reason 476 I love this band. They’re 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 I’ve been the last 2 nights (creature of habit, hi) but 2nd row. It didn’t 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 Berlin’s 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.
I’ve 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 I’m having a bad day I’ll 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 they’ve collected on their boating adventures please and thank you.
Till wore a beer can helmet for mein teil. I’ve read that one can said ‘roofies’ the other ‘KO drops’ but I was too far away to confirm. Probably did though.
He stole Jens’ little go pro on a stick and caused some mischief. He didn’t 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 didn’t help.
No “see you in….” Announcement at the end which I am a little sad about but I didn’t expect anything for 2024 anyway. Wait and see. I don’t think it will be long before we know their future plans.
I’m off to the airport on 3 hours sleep, back to reality rather than my Rammstein summer. What a ride.
❤️🔥
“Paul, no, we’ve talked about this. If I let you keep that I’ll have to let Richard keep the 27 fucking sharks he’s collected in the dressing room.”
“🥺 he likes you! Look. Peck peck kisses for Till peck peck”
“Oh whatever you’re all children. Hurry up out of Ollie’s way he’s getting wet.”
“Ollie? Ollie!”
*[almost collides]* 😬
Another gift for Till

Paul brings back a pink flamingo and pesters Till with it until he likes it too 🥰
I hope not regarding festivals. I’m always happy to see them play but they’re bigger than any festival in their own right.
Suppose it’s less stress than their own single brand tour but still… I’m a bit greedy 😂
will they tour next year?
Keep an eye open for Festivals. Stadium tour is over but Rammstein isn't.
Richard has always been a drama queen, at each album and tour he used to say it was the last one but this time it sounds more like it will be different, not ending.
Haha he is the reason I have such FOMO for Rammstein tours because his little diva gremlin voice is in the back of my mind saying “well you know it could be the last one, he’s always said…”.
I don’t think they’re done, I truthfully don’t think they’re done until one of them drops dead.
It might be different in terms of what we see; new stage has already been rumoured as has a run of festivals rather than their own stand alone shows. Different management/ direction; binning universal, other promotors potentially.
I saw that show last night and while it was fun as always it’s not their end. End of this cycle maybe but not the end of it. It was far too low key in a ‘we’ve given them a good time, now get me home to my own bed’ feeling.
Diva be diva-ing

I loved this moment. My favourite (bloody) menace to society and his gremlin accomplice
They are so confused by their synchronization 😄 (Brussels, 03-08-2023) @ natalie_grothe_saalfeld1347 (IG Story)
Maybe because I’m an absolute nerd but I really hope if they have a documentary come out it includes stuff like the design and build of this stage set because it’s mighty impressive. And I’m going to miss it a little bit 🥲
Some more behind the scenes view
Wiggly Till 🥰
Just adorable 🥰
Richard doing absolutely nothing to kill the rumours off that he’s a reincarnated kitty. Bringing random gifts home he’s found lying round.
How Schneider got the doll ❤️❤️

The doll landed on front atage and Richard picked it up, figured out who it was supposedto be for, and delivered it at Schneider's drumkit ❤️❤️
Currently watching this on Netflix. A Perfect Crime. A docuseries about the assassination of Detlev Karsten Rohwedder, a politician tasked with dismantling much of the industry in the former DDR in the aftermath of the fall of the wall.
Imagine my surprise when none other than our sparkly king Flake Lorenz is interviewed as part of the programme.
It got me to thinking how interesting it would be for Rammstein, as part of their 30th anniversary to maybe sit together watching back old clips, Feeling B, First Arsch era as well as early and later Rammstein. I’d love to hear their stories of that time around the fall of the wall if they ever felt comfortable talking about it as it’s a subject that absolutely fascinates me. An update to Rammstein in Amerika documentary spanning their 30 years rather than just America.
I’ll be happy with whatever they release I’m sure, just a little fan hope from me.
This man is not normal but I live for it ❤️🔥

Still suffering with the covidy souvenir I brought back from Belgium but this is cheering me up so much. I love them. Pair of dick heads (affectionate) ❤️🔥

This will never not be funny to me. Did Paul ever get refused entry for not wearing a red make up stripe or did he quickly have to wipe on coloured bronzer every time he wanted to go back stage 🤣
The fact those wings weigh 50kg+ and he just walks on stage and sings a whole song without missing so much as a breath
They have an entire storage box of emergency Gummibärchen on hand for just such eventualities I’m certain.

Paul and Flake on Till's backstage tantrums.
Paul: Till has these two arms for “Rammstein”. They really look impressive. When he strides on to the stage and pushes the buttons… and nothing happens! This happened twice! That’s when I know: There’s going to be trouble! Till stands there and thinks, “Okay, what now?” “Rip them off? Go home?” Then he takes a deep breath and thinks: “Can’t smash them, they cost 10,000. I can’t destroy them right now. Ooh!”. So he goes backstage. Everyone scatters, because they know what just happened (laugh). You hear banging, some pummeling. Then he calms down again. He comes back out. The audience doesn’t suspect a thing. But things do get broken back there! After a concert like that, he goes to the dressing room alone. There’s some noise (laugh). Something gets “atomised”. That puts him in a better mood.
Flake.: Then Till’s in real mean mood. And I’m just glad to be in the band and not in charge of pyrotechnics. Those guys are up the creek and will have to explain themselves later on.
Probably my favourite ridiculousness from this tour

Don’t know why but this gave me ‘grizzly bear catching salmon’ vibes the way he waited just for it to come in reach before grabbing expertly.
