Rammstein Pyro - Tumblr Posts

I adore the stage show from the viewer perspective but the geek in me loves seeing the inner workings too.

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.
