Till Lindemann And the fish: The solo appearance of the Rammstein front man on the Metal Air Festival in Uelzen on June 21, 2025 ensures mixed reactions. The reason for this is a special part of the stage show: Lindemann initially threw fish into the audience, later a fish cannon was also used.
Lindemann and the fish: that is about it
Lindemann fans already know the ritual. At the song “Fish On”, the singer always hangs up a kind of abdominal shop on the stage, chops dead fish and throws around with them. He did this about several times on his US tour-in Germany the whole thing is now causing a lot of criticism, as can be seen from the Facebook comments alone under the Rolling Stone article.
Opinions differ
“I find the lowest drawer with the fish. I used to be a big rammstein fan. It is only tasteless,” writes a Facebook user. “Based on its great fan base, which obviously also glorifies violence, you can see how increasingly ill, mentally neglected and hypocritical is increasingly our society,” writes another person.
A Facebook user formulates it more sarcastic. “In order to beat himself with tasteless show performances, he will probably slaughter or shred chicks on the next tour.”
From enthusiastic comments to concerts to hard judgments to Lindemann’s campaign, everything is included in opinions.
Lindemann once again manages to polarize with his stage show – definitely nothing new.
Among other things, animal rights activists find this less funny. The animal protection organization Peta published a statement in 2020:
“We at Peta have full understanding of provocations. However, if feelings have to suffer and die, our understanding has an end. We think that Till Lindemann is creative enough to stage a spectacular stage show in the future without animal suffering.”
