Christoph Schneider shared vacation impressions on Instagram. “Defying the Elements. Ostsee Kind Forever,” writes the drummer of Rammstein, born in East Berlin (Pankow district). In addition the hashtags: “#fkk #Baltic Sea #balticsea #ISISBADEN @Jenskochphoto ”.
FKK is actually right: Christoph Schneider shows himself naked when walking into the waves of the Baltic Sea. It is unclear when the 55-year-old climbed into the floods. But the hashtag “Eisbaden” probably says it all. In addition, the torn mouth of the drummer. Cancer when the body cools down quickly. In March, the average temperature of the Baltic Sea is 2.7 degrees Celsius. This is real ice bathing!
DJ Westbam commented on Schneider’s brave step with an emoji salve: “✌🏼🌊”. That means: “Funny, well done, in the waves”. Photographer Jens Koch makes you in love: “You’re Nackelich! 😍”. Shouldn’t be surprised. He took the picture.
Of course, Fangirls also has the nude photo. “Olala what a fantastic sight for my. My evening my evening is saved 😛🥵💋❤️”, writes one.
Rammstein: New tour documentation provides backstage insight
Rammstein published a documentary in December 2024 under the title “Rammstein-Behind the Scenes of the World Stadium Tour 2019-2024” that contains highlights of their last concert tours. The Berlin band looks back to 135 gigs in five years (interrupted by Corona pandemic). And over six million concert goers.
Every appearance was a single spectacle. And was supported by a huge, unique stage and an unprecedented live production.
The documentation is briefly short at 47 minutes. But she looks behind the scenes and accompanies the Rammstein crew while preparing for the concerts. You can see how complex it was to coordinate the many moving parts of the stage. To have sound and image under control. And to cope with the complex backstage logistics including hospitality for hundreds of people.
Documentary about the Rammstein technology (ER)
So it is less a film about Rammstein on stage, but rather an appreciation of the work of all the technicians and music people who work for the group. A monument to the process of implementing one of the most sweaty live metal projects in recent years.
In a message to the documentary it says: “From 2019 to 2024, a video team accompanied the production and focused on the impressive performance of the crew and its various trades. The film material offers an authentic and impressive view of the scenes of production: from the elaborate stage construction and lighting design to pyrotechnology, logistics and countless other tasks. Use, close cooperation and the sense of responsibility of an extraordinary crew – properties that are essential for the design of a show of this size. ”
However, what the film does not very surprisingly do not do is a recapitulation of the allegations against Till Lindemann and some band members. This is only about how Rammstein could only become the stage monster that they are with the past world tour at the latest.
