Richard mentioned that Rammstein were able to send to North America all their scenic equipment. This means the shows in North American soil should be very similar to the previous shows conducted in Europe.
Richard also spoke about Emigrate, his solo project. The demos for the upcoming album are ready, and will likely be released next year. The aforementioned should be darker and more electronic than its predecessor.

Radionics Colombian radio interviewed Paul Landers. On this occasion, the guitarist revealed that because of transportation costs, the concerts in South America (and therefore logically North America) will be presented in a slightly reduced version of the complete show.
We know that the setlist, lights and decorations had been reduced for the summer festivals. We will be smarter after the gig in Chile on 25th November.

The very recent interview with Paul Landers revealed the big secret: next video (and probably single as well) will be Heifisch.
An Interview with Paul Landers of Rammstein, Posted: Thursday, December 24, 2009, By: Donnie Beach
Are there future plans to make other videos from the album, or will you be too busy with the tour in the coming months to work on that?
Landers:
There are two more videos already in the works. ‘Ich Tuh Dir Weh’ was shot last week by the band, and it’s a straight performance video that we shot on our new stage. The other video will be for ‘Haifisch,’ and it’s going to be a classic Rammstein video with a story behind it, but I’d rather not give any more details and let you be surprised by it. The band will also be touring Europe soon, and in fall of 2010, we hope to be in North America.
