Lindemann: Till's solo project

[Chrisss Nofff]

^^ I've read External's story (what an unnecessary disaster that was!). It's always good to be 100% on the safe side, although I have to admit that things have become way more relaxed since Pilgrim managment and Emmanuel Fialik are no longer working with Rammstein. When the "Waidmanns Heil" - live video leaked, it was quickly taken down but no websites were sued or taken down. The same occured with the early leaked "Mein Herz Brennt" videos.

The thing which I think is a little ironic, is that Tim Renner (Rammstein's first producer/record boss) who is currently minister of culture in Berlin, thinks that modern copyright laws are outdated and useless. I saw an interview of him on TV recently. Although the band has been quite vocal about their animosity regarding piracy, they might have been inspired by Renner to be less focused on finding scapegoats once something is leaked, and instead focusing on removing the leaked content.

There is an old Army saying, "Hurry up and Wait", which is a phrase that I think R+ live by.

It's also something those of us who work for the Government [in my case on the state level] have to live by. I've had a couple birthdays pass before people I work with can decide if they want to go to a Mexican or Chinese restaurant for lunch.

The cover was published on official FB page

There you go, that's the one I was talking about yesterday. If I understood correctly, then this picture will be the cover of the standard CD, Vinyl and deluxe edition.

The "Super Deluxe" edition shows Till and Peter standing in the same poses, but the background is different. It shows burning buildings and Till is holding a gasoline can and a small propane tank (which is lighted so it can be used as a small flamethrower)

I guess the only thing that remains to be settled is the release date. I wonder if there isn't going to be any single, given that we already know the album's title, tracklist, editions and cover.

^I would definitly wish for a music video, since Till and Peter seem to have so much fun with the visual side of this project. A music video could be in the works. Let's not forget that the band's management have exceptionally achieved in keeping this project a secret for as long as possible (I wonder if they got mad at Richard for spoiling it a few weeks before the offical announcment).

In other words, a single is in my opinion still possible if they decided to push the final release date a little longer.

In one of the articles (I cannot remember which) they said that Fat would be the single.

^Maybe they will settle for a videoclip and not bother releasing a single.

[Chrisss Nofff]

^Your right, that's what the Skills in Pills website and Youtbe channel might be for.

Of course Till can't write anything without adding his favourite word in there somewhere...... Herz! (heart). No seriously, it's one of his most used words. Just think of "Herzeleid" or "Mein Herz Brennt", plus it's used in songs like "Spieluhr" and "Morgenstern".

I wonder why "That's my Heart" wasn't shown earlier. My guess is that it was supposed to be a bonus-track for the deluxe editions, but in the end they thought they should just include it on every version. On the other hand, they might have had one final demo they recently realised they wanted to have on the album, and therefore finished it and put it on the album. That might explain the delay. But that's only my crazy theories again

brief off-topic: Maybe it'd be more interesting to count how many times he used word "face" (Gesicht) in his lyrics hahahahah

[Snake]

The cover is the same style as the other 2 promo images, but it is also bland in comparison to those.

As for words used in lyrics: Do you know of any other band the use their band-name so many times. Both as song titles and in the lyric itself?
