Oh, this is why I've had "What's Inside a Girl" stuck in my head!

Boots, buckles, belts outside, what you got in there that you're trying to hide?

What are your favorite Rammstein quotes?

Non-exhaustive list because there are so so many:

"two dildos instead one" a classic, from that awful Swedish interview. I don't think that part is online anywhere except a compilation video and this link that I really hope works? It counts as a quote, it was said.

"for example Korn, they sitting in the night in the bus in the back making music, I know it" I understand what he means but it sounds more like paranoia. From the same interview "we have a nice chemistry going on right now, really, and we love each other... More than ever. And it's very, it feels very good to make music together". I like confirmation that people are really friends and it's not just obligation/an act.

"A friend of mine begged me to save this horse, and I didn't want a horse. What was I going to do with a horse? I thought it was rubbish. But because I'm such a friendly person I drove out to take a look at it. It stood and it [looked at, Berlin dialect] me, so I had to take it"

"We thought we would name the album Herzeleid, but then we realised there was already a Herzeleid album, and unfortunately it is also by us."

"Don't bother asking me questions, enough questions have been asked. The answers are always such rubbish so it's better to say nothing"

“Everything that is created from an effort is shit. Listen to the music in the radio. Droning, whining, dull crap. Created from effort. Made by people who have to pay off houses. Dully moderated and introduced by people who have to pay off houses. Capitalism makes you dull. I haven’t made an effort for even 5 minutes in my life. You’ve got to decide. Good art isn’t created from an effort. But unintentionally. From pleasure.”

Every Flake quote from the making of Pussy, but especially "Later, when we became more famous, they said 'heil Hitler' 'mercedes benz' 'rammstein'. We've taken over sauerkraut, we've come a step forward" "love is a human right" and "he looks away, takes a breath and hopes my talking stops. The first sentence he said to me was 'Flake don't do anything'. I understood that".

"I get these invisible threads from the other musicians, without having to look at each other, without having to do anything, all at once you get a feeling... I don't want to exaggerate, but like with sex: you come to orgasm with others. Not alone, but together". From the making of pussy but it needed it's own bullet point I think.

Honestly anything and everything Flake has ever said

I'm leaving out all of Tills sad quotes because I'm having too much fun researching these chunks of video but his whole love is like a flower even the most beautiful dies stuff is also very good.

Also leaving out Richards sad quotes because oof man

But "I'm a very gentleman, I could say it in English? [...] Sofie you heil-holy bitch!" Counts right?

About the origins of Pussy "he found it very funny, we couldn't really laugh about it, and I thought the whole time this song is completely stupid [...] Till, put something German in there, this is absolutely stupid". The whole interview is golden, I love the way Schneider speaks English.
