35 hours over three days - wonder if the chair and work station had to be hosed off frequently due to Till's pain orgasms? At least the ink covered over all those scars on his back.
Whoever filmed that (Danny?) used quite the filter on Till's face at the end.
Cool. I know some people are saying mid life crisis, but nothing wrong with waiting to get tattooed till later in life. My dad was in his late 50s and seemingly out of nowhere got a huge back piece and both his arms done, none prior to that.
I think that this coming on top of Till's erratic behaviour the last few years coupled with his past opinion of tattoos (he was reportedly not pleased when Paul got the first of his tats) is what is behind the mid-life crisis comments.
Whatever the reasons, it's Till's skin and the images obviously have a strong significance for him. Years ago I had a blog where I asked people about their tattoos; some people spoke of their ink as one speaks of intimate friends and the reasons behind the images were occasionally quite profound. I've seen some of this tattoo artist's other work, he's quite good. It's hard to really see the finer details of the line and shading of Till's eel piece because the photo filter is so strong. There's a slightly longer video now up on Reddit showing more of the process.
What's the eel connection / symbolism?
This tattoo.

Mutter lyrics: "An eel is living in her lungs. On my forehead there's a mother's mark."
I like how the one at the bottom looks like it’s about to crawl into his butt hole:

@ManBurning - FINALLY!
Sehnsucht (26th?) Anniversary Edition coming soon.
Shame it'll probaby just be a remaster that doesn't sound much different like the Herzeleid one.
I wish they would put some effort in with a deluxe edition with some unreleased stuff from the era. The rarities from the vinyl box set was cool, especially with Los (Plugged Version).
Packaging looks awesome.
It will feature newly recorded versions of Du Hast, Spiel Mit Mir and Sehnsucht!
Pre orders are live, turns out it's just an extra 2023 mix of Spiel Mit Mir. No re-recordings as it stands.
Overall this looks pretty meh.
However if they include an updated and remixed version of this, then I'll reconsider.
The pricing is obnoxious as usual but a 40 page photobook with unreleased stuff by Helnwein is more effort than they put into it with Herzeleid so I will probably get it.
Hope we will get something for Mutter soon. But yeah, somehow they seem to define the term "anniversary" a little bit different than we do.
Getting pumped for the tour start. It just so happens that I go to the first show in Vilnius
Stage construction has already started. Debating whether I should walk around on the day on the LIFAD-only rehearsal show (two days before the proper gig) and spoil the setlist, or not.
BTW Is there a Rammstein version of nin live archive? Or what's the most popular place get their live recordings?
No Meet & Greets on this tour.

Du Hast and 2023 mix of Spiel Mit Mir are up on Apple Music.
Spoiler - rehearsal songs:
Spoiler: Links 2 3 4
Rammlied
Deutschland
Radio
Was Ich Liebe
Bestrafe Mich
Giftig
So I hang around the venue yesterday and listened to first 5 songs. The whole park was full of people, haha. The venue is not a stadium, unlike the rest of the tour, so perhaps with no spectator stands surrounding the stage the audio bled outside quite a lot.
Left after 5 songs as to not spoil the whole setlist. (and the songs I caught were already spoiled on reddit from earlier soundcheks).
Real show tomorrow. Can't wait.
Surprised they’re doing Giftig and not Angst or Dicke Titten which were both singles with videos.
Hmm, stetlist is a little weak with the return of "Rammlied" instead of "Armee der Tristen" and I was never a big fan of "Bestrafe mich"... "Giftig" is okay, but "Angst" definitely is the superior track. I was actually hoping for more songs from "Sehnsucht" given they are releasing the record again around that time, something like "weißes Fleisch" or "Tier" would have peaked my interest. Anyways, I highly doubt they will switch something up for the real shows.
Still looking forward to the show in three weeks though.
Angst was played in Vilnius today! Till either re-wrote the lyrics or messed them up very, very badly.
^ I checked that out this morning. I’d attribute it to nerves, given the demand for the song live. Just a few creases to iron out I think.
This crowd got the “oh shit we’re actually doing” rare remix, as Trent would say.
