Till Lindemann Feeling B

Lindemann in 1986, started to play drums for Schwerin-based experimental rock band First Arsch, who released an album titled Saddle Up in 1992, and played one song “Lied von der unruhevollen Jugend” with a punk band called Feeling B, which was the former band of Rammstein members Paul H. Landers, Christoph “Doom” Schneider and Christian “Flake” Lorenz, in 1989.

During his time in Feeling B, he played the drums in the band.  In the 1990s, Till began to write lyrics. In 1994, the band entered and won a contest in Berlin that allowed them to record a four-track demo professionally.

When questioned as to why Rammstein was named after the Ramstein air show disaster, he said he viewed images of the incident on television, and that he and the bandmates wanted to make a musical memorial. Lindemann then moved to Berlin.

Lindemann Rammstein

During Rammstein’s early years, because of his use of over-the-top pyrotechnics, Lindemann has burned his ears, hair, and arms.

Bandmate Christoph Schneider commented, “Till gets burned all the time, but he likes the pain”. An incident in September 1996 caused a section of the band’s set to burn, and as a result, Lindemann got his certification in pyrotechnics so the band could perform with pyrotechnics more safely than it had previously.

Lindemann Controversial

For example, on 18 June 1999, “Bück Dich” was performed in the same controversial manner at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon.

In 1999, the band was blamed for the 1999 Columbine massacre, which they denied their music was a factor. In November 2002, Till’s poetry book Messer was published.

It consists of 54 poems compiled by Gert Hof, the author of the book Rammstein and was the band’s pyrodesigner for the last seven years. In July 2010, Till, along with Flake, was interviewed by heavy metal anthropologist Sam Dunn for the VH1 Classic series Metal Evolution, on the topic of shock rock.

Till Lindemann Injuries

Till is not a stranger to injury, as he mentioned in Rammstein’s early career that he’d gotten burned several times with unprofessionally rigged pyrotechnics. At a performance in Sweden in 2005, he received a knee injury on stage when keyboardist Flake accidentally ran into him while riding a Segway PT.

This injury caused several tour dates in Asia to be canceled. In 2005, five Rammstein albums received platinum awards and the band also received the “World Sales Awards” for over 10 million sold copies worldwide.

Till Lindemann “Ich tu dir weh”

During the filming of the band’s music video for “Ich tu dir weh”, Lindemann wanted a light put in his mouth to create a visually stunning effect. Bandmate Paul Landers suggested that he use a flesh-colored wire and run it along his cheek to shining a light into his mouth from the outside. He refused, and instead opted to have a surgical incision in his left cheek so that a light could be fed into his mouth directly, and largely out of sight.

“The Till Hammer”

There is a specific performance move of Lindemann’s, dubbed “The Till Hammer”. This move is where he bends his knees, beats his thigh with a fist in a hammering motion while turning his head from side to side. On occasion, Flake has been seen to parody the move onstage. Unlike most frontmen, Lindemann stated in an interview that he does not like being looked at while on stage, and would wear sunglasses to block out views of the audience.

The main purpose of the band’s signature pyrotechnics has also been stated to actually be a tool in taking the audience’s attention away from Lindeman, whilst doubling as a spectacle for the audience.

Lindemann also opts to look at the back to the mixing booth or does hand gestures during guitar solos to distract the audience from looking directly at him.  Due to his onstage anxiety, Lindemann usually gets his bandmates to use a rubber dinghy to crowd-surf during shows, as it gets the audience’s attention away from the stage for several minutes at a time.

In Stillen Nächten

In the year 2011, Roadrunner Records listed Lindemann at number 50 of the 50 greatest metal frontmen of all time. In 2013, Lindemann’s second poetry book, In Stillen Nächten was published.

He commented on the poetry, saying “The vast majority of my poems could have been written a few hundred years earlier.” On his 52nd birthday on 4 January 2015, it was announced that Lindemann would start a new project with Peter Tägtgren named Lindemann. The band released their debut album Skills in Pills in June 2015.

Till Lindemann Religion

Till in an interview, in 2011 stated he still has strong connections to traditions of East Germany. He finds that “de-traditionalisation” is disturbing, and states there is also no authenticity anymore.  Lindemann presented two sculptures and his original scripts of poems in his book In Silent Nights in a gallery in Dresden, in 2014.

Lindemann has also written some lyrics in 2014 for German schlager singer-songwriter Roland Kaiser for his album Soul Tracks.

He went on to state that he “hates noise”, and would often go to a village in the north between Schwerin and Wismar. Among Lindemann’s favorite bands are Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, and Black Sabbath and singers Marilyn Manson and Chris Isaak. Lindemann is an atheist.
