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.
This interview covered several topics other than Rammstein and Emigrate, many of them about Kruspe’s life. You can hear the full interview here (in English).
There is a new interview (sound only) on The Gauntlet.
Please write to comments what it is about (probably the Best of album coming out in September / October and tour in USA).
Tickets sold out in only thirty minutes for the legendary German band Rammstein’s December 11 performance at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden in New York City. This will be the only US show by the Berlin-based six-piece band, which has not performed in the United States since 2001. The show was announced September 27, tickets went on sale for the show Friday, October 8 at noon Eastern and before an hour passed, tickets were officially sold out. This makes Rammstein the first German band in history to accomplish such a feat.
In a recent interview with Seattle Gay News, Rammstein guitarist Richard Kruspe was asked when fans could expect to see the band perform in America again. “Good question,” he replied. “Actually, we talked about it today, a lot. What we plan to do right now is a lot of things — we’re not 20 anymore, so things have changed for us. At the moment, it looks like America is the only market where we cannot provide the same show as we play in the rest of the world. So we have to be balanced, like, what makes financial sense? One of my dreams is Madison Square Garden — just to play one show and to feel out, like if there is a need for us, are people waiting for us, what can we do, what would be the next step? It can change, nothing is set in stone, nothing is confirmed, but we’ve talked about what’s the best thing, so the fans are happy and the band is happy. But I’m a big supporter of the American market.”

There is an interview between Maggie and Richard regarding a possible US tour :
Maggie Bloodstone: Well, first thing we would love to know is: When can we expect you in America?
Richard Kruspe: Good question. [Laughs.] Actually, we talked about it today, a lot. What we plan to do right now, is a lot of things – we’re not 20 anymore, so things have changed for us. At the moment, it looks like America is the only market where we cannot provide the same show as we play in the rest of the world. [1, see footnotes at the end of the article] So, we have to be balanced, like, what makes financial sense? One of my dreams is Madison Square Garden – just to play one show and to feel out, like, if there is a need for us, are people waiting for us, what can we do, what would be the next step? It can change, nothing is set in stone, nothing is confirmed, but we’ve talked about what’s the best thing, so the fans are happy and the band is happy. But I’m a big supporter of the American market.

Just when I thought nothing would surprise me anymore about Rammstein, came another shocker. Richard Kruspe was caught urinating in public while he was drunk in Belegrad.
Reports say that Kruspe was so intoxicated that he could not wait to go to a proper restroom so he ended up slouching against a fence outside the bar and urinitating in broad daylight.
Richard Kruspe caught urianting in Belegrad, Christopher Schneider probably just finished his daily task.
As a result he was sentenced to 5 months in prison (Spandau Prison in Berlin). For this period Axel Rudi Pell will replace him as a backup guitarist. Axel will join the band for the first time during the gig in Berlin on May 21st, 2010 and will promote his upcoming album “The Crest”.

Please be advised that Rammstein’s latest album, “Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da” has been ‘indexed’ as it is commonly referred to in Germany, meaning that the album cannot be sold to minors and cannot be stocked on store shelves.
The album will now only be made available for purchase behind the counter at shops that still carry the album. Word is that the tracks “Ich Tu Dir Weh” and “Pussy” along with some promotional imagery featuring guitarist Richard Kruspe spanking a female were cause for the Kreisjugendpfleger (district youth guardian) to act.
With the songs being indexed, the band will not be allowed to perform them live which could cause potential problems down the road as “Ich Tu Dir Weh” was reportedly scheduled to be the next single and a video has already been shot according to band members.
“Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da” is the first Rammstein album to be indexed. In 2007, religious groups, child welfare authorities and other ‘do-gooders’ petitioned the Kreisjugendpfleger to hold a hearing on indexing Rammstein’s entire back catalog. The review board dropped the petition allowing the albums to continue to be sold.

After a longer time without seeing anyone from the grou Rammstein, now we have some fresh pictures of Christopher Shcneider and Richard Kruspe. They appeared at MTV Designerama. The evening took place on 08/10/08 in Berlin. The singer Till Lindemann showed up at the European Music & Media Night the day before yesterday in Berlin. In other words, these photos are recent.

Yesterday many fans wrote me that I was spreading some bullshit information about Richard Kruspe leaving Rammstein. Some people issued threads to my life. I was wandering what was happening and as I was not in my country (I am now in USA) , and I had restricted access to internet I was really scared when I saw what some unknown hacker did to my site.
Richard Kruspe is really NOT leaving Rammstein. One of the smart fans (Jebaa, Pjork) wrote these reasons:
The other thing that this hacker did to my site is that he somehow managed to block the finish section in Google. Now if you want to access this language section with Firefox browser, it will not display the page but just a warning message.
I regret what happened on this site and hope that nobody had heart attack after reading such nonsense. Maybe this violator could be the same person who informed us last year about Till Lindemann departure (it was also a HOAX).
My next steps will be to upgrade this site to avoid any violations in future. I also must fix the finish section in order to provide all fans from Finland with fresh information (thank you Sinnlos for informing me about this problem). And the last thing I want to do is to take legal steps against all people who threatened to kill me (in case they don’t explain their behavior) because of the fake information on this website.
Rammstein members are now working on the new album (NO Farin Urlaub). The new album can already be preordered on German Amazon: Neues Album 2008
Thank you for understanding the situation and I hope you will keep visiting this webpage (we managed to reach 1 000 000 visitors in two years history this week). I will do my best to administrate this portal in the way you appreciate it the most.

WARNING: THIS POST IS NOT TRUE (read more about this here)
This news may be shocking for many fans of Rammstein. The new era of Rammstein is coming:
After a long time of hesitating Richard Kruspe made the final decision: he doesn’t want to cooperate on the new album anymore. After he changed his style with the new Emigrate album he can not find his way back to Rammstein and want to continue his solo career.
Rammstein is currently recording the new album and they found a new guitarist for this. His name is Farin Urlaub and he is a famous singer and guitarist in Germany (used to play in a group called Die Ärzte – The Doctors).
Farin Urlaub and Till Lindemann will start the cooperation in late September as Farin will also provide the group with backing vocals. We can expect slight changes in the new style of Rammstein.
