Two days ago, Oliver Riedel (bass player) was interviewed by the newspaper Quebecers Musikuniverse.net and interesting information pops up.
The first confirmed that the DVD will be shot during the concert in New York at Madison Square Garden and a party in Montreal.
The Best of album is scheduled for April 2011 and will include two unreleased tracks.

I´ll try as good as I can to translate what Olli says…
At first, they were really happy about that huge response in north-america. That the shows were sold out so quickly, made them realise that Rammstein simply has to visit america more often.
He is talking about the upcoming australian tour, (specially the big day out festival)the DVD shoot in NYC, and that they will drink a champaigne on stage in Montreal. ( Whatever that means. I was there and haven`t seen it).
He also talks about his private life in Berlin. That he is a “normal” Dad who is bringing his daughter ( 8 years) to school and has a good family life.
@ Leann ( Tochter von Jurgens): The woman on his left is probably a student. But not a very good tanslator. Rather average. I am german, and my wife in french-canadian. What the translator said, was not always the same thing, Olli was saying. We would have done a better job…. 🙂
I hope your questions are answered with my translation!
If there are more questions, just shoot, or better: Feuer frei!!!
I know Ollie speaks English since he obviously understands the interviewers questions, so why is he replying in German? And why is a translator there?
This makes no sense!
And I can’t wait for the album.
First of all, a “best of” collection is usually a record company decision, not a band decision, and second, I was at the NYC concert (in the pit) and I did not see ANY cameras filming the show 🙁
@Jorg: That’s probably true, but I think the ‘best of’ is just intended to squeeze some more money, since Rammstein has become preety more famous thanks to LIFAD. They’ve already said there will be a new album by 2013, so let’s hope they haven’t run out of ideas (and hopefully, as good ideas as LIFAD).
@Leann: I’d say the woman is just an interpreter, too bad they’re translating it to French and not putting any subtitles =(
PS: In the answers, at least in the french one, there’s nothing about the two unrealesed songs… I don’t know if they managed that information after the interview, but in the answer there’s nothing about those two songs… and i almost can guarantee that the german answer doesn’t also mention two new songs…
Best regards,
Peter
Hi.
The woman in the right is a translator. As most of all know, only few members of Rammstein accept interviews with answers in english. Therefore, the questions in english, so that Oli could understand, the answer in german (usual) and the lady translating to french, one of the languages majorly spoken in Quebeque!
Hope that i’ve helped.
Peter, from Portugal
I was there!
All the way from holland!
It was fantastic!
And they brought there whole show with them!
It was GREATTT!!!!
I don’t think that they are out of ideas, LIFAD was a great album and they have so many wonderful songs that will suit on a great compillation CD <3
*correction: Ollies’ reply in English
Sorry for my ignorance, (I am currently struggling to learn German), but will we have a way to know what Ollie is saying in reply? Who is the woman on his left? Thank-you so much!
Hey, does anyone have any information on the release date of that DVD? I can’t wait for it to come out, I want to have it in my collection!!
IMO bands that release a best of are usually bands that got no more ideas or are sellouts :-/
Hallelujah! Two new tracks and a full-concert DVD! My life just got a whole lot better. I am so glad that Rammstein is filming a full concert – it’s alot more enjoyable than watching snippets.
can anyone please translate olli’s responses?
I wonder if I’ll end up on the dvd lol
