Rammstein completed their second of four gigs in Munich on Thursday (June 8th). The process was similar to the day before, except that the concert was threatened by a storm for a longer or less long time. A possible abortion in the event of bad weather development was at least once planned.
Till Lindemann had already caused a stir before the start of the performance: his lawyers announced that their client was innocent and that the allegations against him were untrue. At the same time, they pointed out that legal action would be taken against the statements.
For Rammstein, the second Munich gig turned out to be a repetition of the first. Means: No Row Zero, no after-show parties. Again her “Love is for everyone” hit “Pussy” was not played, so the notorious penis cannon did not even come on stage.
Till Lindemann indirectly comments on the allegations
The singer used the threatening thunderstorm to indirectly allude to the headlines that he has been producing for days. “Munich, we were extremely lucky with the announced storms,” he said. To then go on: “Believe me, others will also pass by.” So the Berlin band continues to seek solidarity with their fans.
According to the police, there were no other incidents related to the Rammstein concert. Nothing was known of demonstrations around the site either. Lindemann and the group are accused of having set up a system to recruit mostly young women for sexual activities with the singer. A “casting” director was hired specifically for this (who has since been suspended by Rammstein). Some women speak of abuse in a report by a research collective. Some allegations also surfaced online. While the band asks that no prejudice be made in any direction, Lindemann has yet to be reported or investigated.
