My condolences to Rammstein and to Hof`s family and friends!It is sad when someone goes away at an early age like that.And in spe a talent like Hof.Hope that his legacy will go on even if he is not among us anymore.But I am sure he will keep his eye at Rammstein from where he is now!A great loss!R.I.P Herr Hof!
RIP. He did a great job with Rammstein’s image.
I still have yet to be at a live Rammstein concert, but from what I saw on youtube and fan photos of the concerts, the visual effects were outstanding. Now that he’s gone, I wonder if the band will continue to use his styles and techniques for the set ups, or if they will do something different for a few shows, with special memorials added to the performance. Either way, he will be greatly missed. R.I.P. Gert Hof, hopefully you’ll send a few pointers to possible future techs for the band.
He was an amazing artist. I agree with Spartan – we attended the show at Madison Square Gardens – a real life changer. Gert Hof will be missed – his legacy will live on forever. There is no greater artistic director and light designer out there. Thank you, Gert, for sharing all your talent with us. You will be missed. Condolences to your friends and family…we fans will keep you alive…
Too young! Swift journey, Gert Hof.
You Cant Hassell the HOF –
