Is that a bad thing? I'm genuinely asking out of curiosity.
@@erindiazmclaughlin "ein" is ponounced like e.g. the english "ine" in "fine".

That's frickin awesome.
Let us all take a moment to honor that anonymous girl at the camp who insisted young Richard play the guitar for her. Without her, we may not have his talent! She is an MVP!
I hope she's aware of the impact she made on this world ❤
@@chronic.dementia Agreed!!
I believe she was probably in love with Richard instead 🤣
Without her,,,,, the world would have moved on, and a different band would be famous, no one is ever that important
@@mannyechaluce3814 lmao 🤣🤣🤣 whatever dude. Let us women say our peace, your comment makes you sound like a jealous ex or something.
What a humble guy, and he had such a tough life growing up. Inspiring!
Yeah felt that too. The music is hard. But they are all so nice in interviews kind.😞
The guy gives off sincere vibes
@@flandanagan3720 I agree!
Wow this guy is amazing

The members of Rammstein, to me, are some of the most interesting people I've ever seen in interviews.
Hey we are germans, that's why ;)
@@Daniel_EDDA I am German and not interesting at all.
@@matekochkoch Yeah you got a german shepherd, these kind of german^^
@@Daniel_EDDA Sorry I am born in Germany, grown up in Germany, lived most of my life here, and again living and working in Germany, but no dog.
@@matekochkoch Good for you mate, anyway I'm just kidding, don't take it too serious. Grüße!
so Kruspe, known for his industrial metal playing, declares he learned to play jazz guitar in a conservatorium AND THE INTERVIEWER DOESN'T ASK HIM TO ELABORATE ON THAT.
Also the escaping to the west thing
don't worry mate. some day there will footage come up w richard playing some django tunes on the acoustic before a regular Rammstein show :D
Yeah this is a pretty bad format, they really should have got someone more competent to interview richard
@@selecttv3699 I’d cut him some slack because he does seem very nervous.
That's how musical careers worked in Eastern Germany back then. To get acknowleged as a musician you had to go to a musical college and get a degree. That's what he says about much being about sports back then as every stateowned comany had its own sports compartment but music was hard to get in professionally. Also the lyrics were strictly watched by the government. Everything remotely not approved was banned and maybe even imprisoned as an enemy of the state. That's why Rock music from that time (known as 'Ostrock' / 'Eastern Rock') is known for its cryptic lyrics about freedom using many metaphors. So yeah, shame they didn't elaborate on that as it's quite an interesting and twisted subject.
I am fucking shocked how articulate he is in English especially when Till Lindemann was singing some track songs in Spanish, Russian and French. They are intellectuals.
Yes, Till also writes poems etc.
A lot of germans speak english well, the two languages are both cut from the same indogermanic cloth
@@iamgribs That and the German education is really good, I really like that they speak both German and English and that their English is so well spoken. Makes me envious but I'm happy people can live a good life due to their solid education.
In Europe it’s not so special to speak multiple languages. In the Netherlands most people learn at least 4 languages at school (Dutch, English, French, German and currently more and more school add Spanish and even Chinese to the curriculum).
Hallo. Ich möchte mich für Ihre liebevolle Unterstützung wie und Kommentar in meinem Leben und meiner gesamten Karriere bedanken.
Pronounces Rammstein wrong right in front of him.
You have to be brave to do that
But Only when he spoke German, right? (which makes it really weird)
It's always so cringey when interviewers do this. I've noticed it's always American interviewers too, saying something like "rahmsteen"
@@Lilboozibert nooooooooooooo
And then richard procedes to also pronounce it wrong to humor him.
Kruspe's face when he says "Ramm-STIEN" is priceless.
timestamp?
and does he spell it like that when he says it, or correctly?
@@bennoakes2477 I guess when you get no pussy, you have to care about stupid shit like people pronouncing names wrong.

You're right
And a guy who needs a hug

He's so polite and well-spoken, his entire demeanor just really calms me
I noticed at the end, he stood up to shake his hand.... class.

Definitely. Also sign me up.
why because ha has an accent like Dracula? thats racist lol
Is he wearing eye liner?😍🤔
Very very underrated guitarist IMO. Rammstein has some of the most iconic riffs in metal.
getting shafted for being "simple" and easy riffs.. but thats the essential thing that makes Rammstein so good lol
@@weswesyall2827 it’s like the edge in U2. They both have their own style’s and you know who they are when you hear it.

Goddamnit. There is nothing underrated about him. I wish people would stop repeating the stupid shit they hear at Waffle House.
Yep, Richard is up there with your Hetfields, Iommis, Hannemans and Quorthons as far as I am concerned!
I'm not german, but since I moved to Berlin (a few months ago) one thing I noticed about Germans is that they are well cultured and polite. Richard's interview reflects in many ways my own experience with Germans.
I can agree with this, except if you use the public transport, on buses or trams people want to push their way on BEFORE you've even got your foot out the door lmao. Apart from that, I have no bad experiences with Germans!
Been there thrice. Love the people. The food is good. The German alps are breathtaking. Even the homeless and downtrodden have a sense of fashion! 😂😂👌🏼. Crazy history there too, obviously.
@@LIKWID didn't used to be like that.
Don't make the mistake of generalizing here, good or bad. But still, there sure is a tendency and as a german I'm fond of that^^
@@LIKWID Sry for that. We have highways without Speed Limit 😉
If it weren't for that girl we would not have the epic Richard Kruspe from Rammstein
Well... since he's the founding band member, we wouldn't have Rammstein, period.
@@WiseSageBum More than that, Richard was the biggest creative force on the first 3 albums, that's why he had to start Emigrate, because the other guys were tired of him just controlling all the creative process (Till is the exception). This is, not only a fact confirmed by themselves, but actually quite listenable, because Reise Reise was incredibly different than the first 3, since he just let go of control a lot
And people wonder why Jeff Bezos' wife got half the fortune. ;)
tbh, I think the girl "liked" it because she wanted the D but he was oblivious to that.
Talk about the Butterfly Effect
I thought he would speak english with a REALLY strong accent, but damn his english is on point
Well he did live in New York for 11 years
@@My2t1c his Rs sound so american, many germans have such weird accents, but his accent is so good, you can tell that he used to live in america
Better than the way I speak it lol
@@bennoakes2477 The Soviet Union* they were the only ones that u can say defeated the Nazis in 1 v 1 combat (which its debatable cause at the same time Germans were fighting the URSS, they were fighting against the whole allies army wich was integrated by several countries). Cause if u say that winning in Normandi (were just a few remaining soldiers of the german army were defending the beach, and still held their ground against Americans, Canadians and British at the same time) and then taken over an already defeated army is "winning" u are delusional mate. Not for nothing the ones putting their flag on Berlin were the Soviets
@@mizomniac3662 and @My2t1c I didn't know he had lived here for a time, but the second he spoke in English I was like "Yeah, he learned/practiced English with Americans". I took 6 semesters of German in college and my Prof and TA were both from southern Germany. To this day, I still have a Bavarian accent when I speak German, so much so that when I go there, people don't realise I'm American until I speak English.
Okay Richard is an accomplished musician and he is in a very successful band. Can we talk about his smile and how great his skin looks?! The man is GORGEOUS!
More importantly though.... what's that dog doing?
That girl is probably still out there not realizing that she had inspired a legend to do what he does and eventually become famous.
I'm 100% straight but Richard is a very handsome guy.
I feel the same way! He's a cool guy, really muscular shoulders, and well spoken
Yeah I wish I was like him.
+Joshua bove He has a little bit of Siegried & Roy over him :)

this is weird. I thought the same thing before I saw this comment. XD
I wish I could speak german as well as he speaks English....Dude is killing it lol.
Du kannst es dir ja aneignen... ueben ueben.... aber denk dran. Deutsch ist ziemlich happig 😁
life is too short to lern german! :D and i wish i could speak english that nice too...
MovieHound17 english is hella easy
he used to live in new York actually it probably helped
VT Riffs English is harder than most languages actually. There so much shit to remember.
0:25 -Richard: *asking questions in German to Gruhamed* -Gruhamed: *ok let's focus on that room corner until he stops talking and translates I'm scared*
Richard seems so wise. Like he's learned a lot from his past experiences you know? I could listen to his stories all day.
I'll bet when Loudwire finally manages to get Till on the show, he'll refuse to speak English... xD
i don't think till will ever do this kinda stuff. he is really shy as a person and he's afraid of reporters and interviews so unfortunately he'll probably not do it
He still has severe stage-fright to this day, I belive, and I remember watching a live show of "Engel" where he has his wings, but he looked like he was trembling; I even felt bad for the guy.
Institoris so that's why he looks so stone cold and cool!
seeing the replies here, it's still hard to believe that Till is THAT shy..
Wyn Weeardo0 I know, I never would’ve guessed that Till is a shy guy.
Richard's nails are always on point
illmakeuhowell True though, my nails are never that pretty (also the Phandom is fucking anywhere oh my god😂)

Foreign Rammstein fans: "Rammstein" Rammstein: "Rammstein" The entire german speaking population: "Rammstein" Americans: "rumstEEEEn"
So true xD
AAAAAMEEEEEIKAAA
@Crow that sounds like a punk band xD
But pronounces Frankenstein correctly.
@@luigidimagnaong1141 That's "Fronkensteen". (Young Frankenstein refference)
I want Richard to narrate audiobooks.
What a babe
Just like when he anglicised Mutter.
It always amazes me how many people still managed te say Rammsteen instead of Rammstein. Of course it's due to langual difference but come on
It looked like it hurt his soul for a second there
Yeah, I mean, in Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen they keep shouting the band's name for like 2 minutes straight so there's no error

Man, it makes me smile every time I watch this, when he struggles through his little tidbit of German, and Richard's face just lights up. Germans have always been some of the happiest people I've met, when you try to speak a little to them, in their language. :)
Vielen lieben Dank :)
Lol try working German customer service speaking German ( In Germany).there is NO slack cut for non natives!!
@@nambc777 My Mother in law is the same for my Spanish. LOL
It's because Gsrman is a very difficult language. Even native German speakers will tell you this and it's a huge nod of respect to try to learn it and more so to attempt to speak it. They'll usually kindly put you out of your misery and speak English because they really want to have a meaningful conversation. Really great people in general.
@@goober8798 True. I can speak and write German, but for the love of whoever - don't ask me about the grammar.
"Rammsteen"? Really? It's not like the name hasn't been around for years and years now..
You might as well say "Rammsteen, Reelly"
Not like they have 4 songs pronouncing it or anything... Oh wait...
My Name is Ramsteen so I got caught off guard.
not only is it difficult to speak a second language, it's even more difficult to show a sense of humor in a second language
This is so true. I may be getting close to fluency in German, but I won't be surprising anybody with my wit in German any time soon.
Its really not that difficult. The only reason i learned to speak German is because of this band. My first language, Polish, is more fkng difficult & slightly annoying😅😋
that's how I feel whenever I speak spanish
It’s not that hard.. I’m fluent in German, Dutch (Native language) and English. 🤷🏻♂️
Baphomet you can speak all earth languages as well as the languages above and below.
I find this guy and Rammstein in general fascinating, I'd love to see a proper documentary.
I've read that they actually plan to release a documentary in addition to their upcoming live dvd's. But that will probably not happen before 2016 or something if I know them right.
+Andy Calhoun Rammstein in Amerika is a documentary about how they formed as a band, and mostly they're connection with America, but u can find a lot of stuff about them
Thanks, this comments really old I've since bought and watched the dvd it's fantastic!
Andy Calhoun haha. that's amazing! i'm glad you watched it
“Rammstein: Who Are They?” is probably the most interesting documentary I’ve seen of them. It’s in German but there are English subtitles, it would lose the “magic” if it wasn’t in German.
I like how he pronounced Rammstein correct for the entire video, except when he was talking German.
At a journalism major, he's giving you so much more, you can go off the script sometimes man.. There's a lot of open questions from his responses you could have followed up on!
Yeah the interviewer was shit
He's gotten way better now days... but yeah, he was so stale in this. Richard, along with all of the guys in Rammstein are highly interesting and smart guys. He needed to actually converse with him. Missed opportunity.
Yeah Gruhamed's more recent interviews had more follow up questions, he's definitely improved since 2014. I agree he was stale in this interview.
Even if he didn't speak, you'd still know he's german lol
It's cause he's sexy lol
💯💯💯
@@ashleymillican3809 lol most of germans are not sexy at all

What a very down to earth man, very rare for someone who has made it so big in music. Much respect.
Richard? Down to earth? Please...
The Comedian ya he is very private and shy to others. But non the less being able to see who he is is very very cool. It's nice
Richard is not really what I'd call down to earth. He has a huge ego,and is always whining about his band mates in Rammstein, and how hard if is not being able to get his own way all the time.
Haunted Abyss Have you seen his recent interviews? In every single one of them he talks shit about Rammstein. Have you seen Rammstein live shows and how Richard behaves? Too much ego for such a mediocre guitar player. The only reason he is succesfull is that Rammstein works great together, they are not amazing musicians if we look at the independently.
***** completely agree. His new CD is meh and honestly I'm disappointed , it feels just all over and no motive or no one said hey wtf man
Richard is so down to earth and humble. I love this man so much ❤️🔥
I have loved this band for twenty years. I can sing the vast majority of the entire Sehnsucht album, and I cannot speak a single sentence in German otherwise. This band gave me insight on how it feels for people who aren't from the US to spend all of their time listening to American music. It was the first time I had found a band who didn't speak English and who I loved so much that I didn't care.
I only discovered them on you tube 2 days ago. Blew my mind!
@@jeniferallan6693 Oh that's crazy. They have so much good stuff, but start with Sehnsucht. The whole album. Just press play, and sit back and go for the ride. Especially the title track Sehnsucht, Engel, Du Hast, Tier, and Buck Dich. But their entire catalogue is fire.
@@naztetv8862 Honestly????on the 2nd day of discovering them i have ordered: Sehnsucht, Rosenrot and the latest album (the one with the matchstick) Plus a collection of their videos on DVD. Going to be an incredible weekend!!!! What an amazing band.
@@jeniferallan6693 I'm kind of envious you've only just discovered them - I've been a fan for, blimey..... 20+years and the sheer joy and wonder i still feel listening to their music...

@@lea6555 danke! Ich lieber der band!
I wish the interviewer was stronger, he had a lot of opportunity for follow up questions that could have explored some of his answers in more detail.
Drake Wiza so true, but not sure how much he had and he may have wanted to get though all the questions on the paper.
I've been a journalist for 33 years. The interviewer, in this case, is not really listening - he's waiting for the next question. It's quite sad. An interview can last up to two hours and get cut down to 15-20 minutes. There is a depth of history here that should have been covered.
@@stevenzimmerman5751 it upset me how the interviewer moved past the mans experiences without regard.. to read what equates to shitposts, stupid questions that Kruspe answered in a way that raised the value of the otherwise worthless line of conversation, a segway to some experience, yet rather than taking the hand out and pulling the mans story our more elaborately by simply asking to know more, he would abruptly move on to the next shitpost. wasted opportunity. borderline insulting. Kruspe still showed respect, thats a genuine dude right there
he sounds and looks bored 😐
yea this guy really is terrible at interviews
If I met Richard Kruspe, I'd be all nervous, and talking like an idiot... xD
Scross Gaming i met him briefly in 2010.. And I was everything you just said xD
Kind of like the host does here
@@blackmath88 I would bearly look him in the eyes 😳
I would say something like: "Hallo, bist du nicht der Gitarrist von Rammstein? Das ist zwar nicht so meine musik, aber RESPEKT!"
Admittedly, I’d do that with any of the band members!
Richard is so gorgeous 😍 💖 ❤️
Omg Richard is so damn adorable and sweet, I love his smile and his accent sm🥰
Its quiet impressive how not many people are clueless how talented and smart people members of this band are ! I mean if you wait 10 years to drop a single then just do it in style like rammstein did with deutchland

@@elburropeligroso4689 i guess it would sound like kraftwerk

Rammstein shares a lot of the same things as goth bands and a lot of goth people like rammstein but they are not accepted as goth music kind of like type o negative, the cult and Depeche Mode
Kruspe is so classy and down to earth.
i was around him -extremely kind hearted & Rammstein too for couple of days - super kind and intelligence guys and they all have perfect manners in my opinion and they all have serious gratitude for 🔥Pantera 🔥 too Darrell & Vinnie Abbott
@@Proverbs31_25 Lucky!!!!!!! What and experience that must have been!
The Rammstein guys all seem so fuckin’ nice. I saw them in Arizona the last time they played, must’ve been about 6 years ago. Besides being the best live show I’ve ever seen, they walked down a ramp from back stage not only w/ the American flag, but the Arizona flag as well. Then, at the end of the show Til said “The members of Rammstein thank you”, took a bow, and walked off stage.
Loved the show I went to, when it finished, Till said 'People of Coventry, England. Thank you for singing our German songs with us'. Thought it was magic.
hahaha man that takes me back. "if there is one good place on Earth...I think that it is Perth! good night" I'm paraphrasing from a hazy memory, they played Big Day Out here in 2016 in Western Australia
When he says "Sonically impossible", it is quite possibly the most German thing he says in the entire interview. So absolute. Love it
Im from german Sonically impossible makes sense to me :D
@@ramsivollweg7571 Hallo! It makes sense however, the absoluteness of the statement is what seems so German - it's very matter of fact but not without justification. It's brilliant!

A lot of Germans can..I was sent over there to cover for a worker who was on the sick and nearly everyone I met spoke good English, a lot better than I could speak German 😂

he also speaks rather decent Russian

Lol, I felt so sorry for Richard, when the guy pronounce " RAMMSTEIN" wrong Richard's so beautiful Richard must be vampire. Dark, Gothic My kind of guy
My kind too🥵🖤
He is probably a vampire
I could listen to his stories all day. I was born and raised in Switzerland until I was 18 and absolutely love Rammstein, never stopped listening to them either since I moved to Canada 14 years ago. Never will!
..why would you? ..stop listening..i mean.
Got to talk to Richard in a small venue in Ohio before they played, traveled from Indiana just to see them again. Very personable. I don't think too many people knew who he was, he said he likes to watch the opening acts. Rammstein is still my favorite heavy metal band, all other bands haven't sounded good over time, Rammstein is the only one that has. I even like them better than Metalica, Megadeth, and Slayer. And their concerts? Fuggetaboutit...
that opening act part of your comment is cool in and of it self. He's a legend and yet he will stand on the side of the stage and watch young up and comings. Maybe that's why he's the only one of the guys in rammstein to make a solo album.
Maximus Aralieous passion
Maximus Aralieous Till lindemann is doing a solo album aswell should come out in the next few months dont know the exact date
Alpharius It is out now actually, already bout it.
Alpharius Agreed.
Richard ist such a classic gentleman...❤️
I can only thank Richard for doing this interview because this video alone got me into Rammstein. One of my new favorite bands, absolutely love them!
This is one of the coolest dudes I've seen...he's totally cool and authentic. I'm not a fan of the band - but i really like this guy and his personality and his ideas...he's a humble, eloquent and thoughtful dude!!
he is so kind I want to hug him
Notice at the end of the interview, Richard displays perfect manners by standing up to shake Grahm's hand. America can use a good lesson on manners.
Yeah, what an ass.
I do that after sex
Thats europe. Ive never seen anyone shake hands while sitting. Thats rude and stupid.
@@fearnobeer9077 😂😂
America is different in many customs from Europe, by design (all the 19th century really, didn't start 're-anglicizing' until after WW1 and into WW2), however it is proper to at least make a half-attempt to stand from a chair when someone is shaking hands, but the complication here may have been the bar-stool. I have never ever seen anyone get up off a bar stool to shake hands, it is generally done in passing or whatnot and standing up off a bar-stool to shake hands would be weird even if one person wasn't sitting.
Omg something classy and elegant about him...just seriously became a fan since yesterday lol it’s never too late
His commentary on the wedding tho 🤣 gotta love his humor!
Richard
When you spend quite a bit of time with people similar to Richard you do get used to it!
Not to mention his sharp accent doesn't resembling at all the German "characteristic" accent.
he lives in newyork for over 10 years now, so he has to speak english every day. if you had to speak german everyday, you'd improve quickly too.
TheWolvesCurse dude he still lives in Germany and he always did

From seeing him in the rammstein videos I'd never guess that he'd be so nice. He's a gentleman! His history is so interesting and I was touched by him saying he was by himself in such a young age. Now it all makes sense for me that due to their difficult life trajectories they can make music that has so many feelings and criticisms for society in general. Thanks for the interview.

Niall O'Brien Amen to that!
+Niall O'Brien HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This man is so beautiful!! And it would be amazing to see Rammstien live!!!
Hallo. Ich möchte mich für Ihre liebevolle Unterstützung wie und Kommentar in meinem Leben und meiner gesamten Karriere bedanken.
Richard is one of the most down to earth and humble musicians I've ever seen
I love how through the years he still paints his nails and sticks to his image. It would be a dream come true to talk to this man, so many stories to hear.
What a lovely guy, I like his image too and painted black nails.
Black on one hand white on the other
This should´ve been a couple hours. I could listen Richard talk all day. I think Rammstein is one of the richest bands ever, both musically and historically speaking.
One of the coolest guitarist ever. Ever seen him on stage. Cool as hell
Got into Emigrate sometime last year, and they really don't get enough love in my opinion. Kruspe has an awesome talent, and I hope one day we get at least one more Emigrate album.
But don't forget about this: -SSL is the best album of 2014 -'My world' became a soundtrack of 'Resident Evil 3' -Disks are selling even in Australia But I agree, they need MOOOOORE fans
I'd love to get drunk with him.
Drink DAB beer with all the band members🍻🤘
@@poboypowder7567 prolly? More like ezpetchully!
I'd love that too, but apparently Richard doesn't drink.
That's freaky. First thing I thought 30 seconds in
Hands down best band I've ever seen live and I've seen almost all the big name bands. Their stage show is awesome and they always sound crystal clear.....just a badass band.
Man muss Richard einfach lieben ♥
