Why wouldn't the Lord love me

even as I am transfixed by his ass?

Ask me to tie his shoe now as a game-

and give all my love in a swoon of shame.

Am I the only one thinking he didn't just stare at the cute French soldier but got down to business with him?

“Well first of all, in East Germany it was so hard to get guitars in general. They were expensive. I remember one of the reasons why I started playing guitar was because I was in Prague with my friends and they were drinking beer and I don’t drink so I was fucking bored and I was like, ‘fuck, what am I going to do’ so I started walking through the streets and I found this shop of guitars and there was this acoustic guitar in there. So the first guitar I bought was that acoustic guitar. I didn’t think of playing it, I was just thinking of selling it to make some money out of it. That led me to someone who saw that I had bought a guitar and asked me to play and I told them I can’t. So they kept asking me so I put on the guitar and played something and they were like, ‘wow that sounds cool’ and I was like, ‘ok, well maybe I should learn some chords then.’ But it wasn’t an acoustic guitar that I learned on, I traded the acoustic for a guitar called Diamant, which was like a Les Paul version in East Germany. Then in East Germany, we had this imagination to get one of the great guitars, to me it was always the Fender Stratocaster because it was the Jimi Hendrix guitar. I didn’t know anything about pickups or humbuckers or whatever. So there was this guy that I met in a café in my old hometown and he was buying all these books because he could get all the books out through customs and he would store them in my apartment. So we became kind of acquainted. He would come over and pick up the books. So one time he came over and I asked him if he could get me a guitar and bring it over. In East Germany, if you exchange money from East to West it would be like 1 East mark and 20 West mark. SO everything I had, I changed it to West Mark and I gave him the money and I gave him the money and asked him to please buy me a Fender Stratocaster. I gave him the money and I didn’t hear anything for like three months, nothing. I wasn’t able to call because we didn’t have phones and stuff like that – it was a different time. So I thought fuck, I gave him 1400 west mark and now he’s gone and never coming back. I remember I was so upset, I was so depressed. Then one day I came home and it was like the day before Christmas and there was a guitar bag in front of my building and he opens it up and he gave me the guitar. That was my first Fender guitar. Then my imagination was so high, I thought the guitar would just play by itself and I wouldn’t really have to do anything, which I found out was bullshit. I was really happy that I had the guitar but it wasn’t really the sound that I had in mind. SO I sold the guitar when the wall came down. Then I had a guitar that I was very fond of. It was an older black and gold telecaster – there weren’t very many of them made at that point. I put a Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck SH-4 in there, like a humbucker. I remember it was like my beauty guitar and I needed someone to put that pickup in and I was with Paul and he had more experience with that stuff than me so he would get out a hammer and a chisel and he start banging away on it and I was like ‘Fuck! Fuck! Don’t do that!’ but we put the thing in there and it was one of my favorite guitars and then I think I had to sell it because I needed drugs or something. I was really sad that I sold it because I was at a very low point in my life. That led me to my very first convention in Frankfurt. With guitars, it is like with women, you have to fall in love. Sometimes you get a guitar and you fall in love later but there has to be some sort of connection with it. So I was walking around that convention and I saw that guitar hanging at the ESP stand. It was a 901 ESP Sunburst and I was looking at it because it was such a beauty. And I was walking around for hours – they probably thought I was some weird guy who wants to steal the guitar. I bought that guitar and that’s how I got connected with ESP”. - Richard Kruspe talks about his first guitars (Ultimate Guitar Com).
