I feel like Paul is the most lovable member of Rammstein. All the others are great guys, don't get me wrong. But I went to see them live a week ago and as everyone else was all serious and in character, Paul just looked like he was having fun. Mind you, Till chuckled while he was singing "Feuer Frei" because Flake was messing about :3
@Racedrivermuhaha Yes, the line "We're all living in America" is a direct globalization statement. But there are frequent, well more than frequent (because it is throughout the whole song), hits on American 'culture'. That is the point of the whole song. If it were solely about globalization like you imply, then it would not specifically and only be speaking about America.
@penningtonant retard, they don't diss america, they're talking about globalization. that's why i fucking hate americans, because of people like you, although rammstein doesn't hate america, except flake, which he believes that the us of a is a decadent country with no culture, and i agree with him
@whatshendrix Rammstein played chunky riffs that nobody thought about playing at e time. Everybody was playing like Vai, Rammstein were new and original. If it's not a guitarist's goal to be innovative, I don't know what is.
Bitch, please - it's been done a million times before and after Rammstein by absolutely every rock and metal musician there is. Vai and the likes were the innovators of the time, still are. If Rammstein were innovators they'd be a progressive metal/industrial/whatever band.
@whatshendrix Its because you insist on continuing. Do you want the last word? Next post make sure it's your last. I'll say nothing, but goodbye on your next post. As long as it makes a child happy to get the last word.
@doknero what are you talking about?Tonns of bands were using chunky simple riffs over a decade before rammstein. Have you heard any of the 80ties Anthrax albums or SOD? Scott Ian started this kind of simple catchy riffing. I like them but the guitar playing is not innovative at all.
What I really wanna know is just how he's using Guitar Rig (or any software effect for that matter) on his laptop live. There's no way to get the latency under 20-30ms without decent ASIO hardware (and don't give me ASIO4all and other kinds of kernel-streaming, they're worthless). Does he use some kind of super-expensive musician's laptop or an external audio interface or what?
@as12df12 I Don't think he uses it when they play live. In the video he says he liked the Sans-Amp sound so much on the software he bought an actual one for tour. The Guitar Rig software is basically an emulation of what Paul sounds like live. Just my thought but I could be wrong lol
@jables13 well, watch again from 4:10... there he says he uses GR with his laptop when he's on tour... I didn't understand it in a way that implies they're using GR during full blown concerts - goes without saying that would be kinda inadequate lol
But listening again, it sounds like he only uses it to try out any ideas he might have when there's no real amp around or he can't use one (hotel suites, in the tour bus...) Guess I just answered my own question :D
Linkin Park's a pop metal band (not that that's a bad thig). They are about production and vocals, If you want crushing metal though it's hard to go wrong with the awsome riffage of Rammstein!
@whatshendrix Pretty sure there were a few more reasons than just the name. But I guess they don't have time for him to give you every spec of the guitar and say how they acted as factors to his decision. But hey, thanks for making YouTube that little bit worse, big man.
@whatshendrix lawl. Try being in a band that's been playing for as long as Rammstein has, and come back to me. If he was a dimwit, he couldn't be as good a musician as he is. This video doesn't show it of course, it only shows a simple riff, from one of Rammstein's earliest songs.
Being in a band or being successful has nothing at all to do with your competence as a musician/composer. This guy is just another mediocre guitarist in a popular band. Example - Linkin Park's guitarist can't even play Sweet Child of Mine without fucking up every two notes, yet he has been in a very successful band for over 10 years now.
YOU can come back to me when Paul Landers composes anything other than the same chugging riffs that Rammstein have been doing for the last 20 years.
@whatshendrix Well, I would hardly call Rammstein popular. Linkin Park isn't a good band, we can agree on that, but Rammstein actually gets better with age. Their early stuff is simple and redundant. Their more recent stuff is a lot better, same goes for most bands who actually give a shit about their sound. The band grew up listening to punk anyway, so I can see why goes for the simplistic but powerful approach. Fusing punk and metal... but not being stupid about it. I guess.
@whatshendrix And yet he's still making more money than you'll ever see in 100 lifetimes, u jelly? I'm sure he's just with fine being a "mediocre guitarist", if Paul saw what you wrote he would laugh and then take a dump in your mouth.
Money doesn't buy talent, and unfortunately for you, talent and the use of it is all I care about. YOU'RE jelous of how much money he makes, cause you're simpleton, I don't give a shit about that. You must live a pityful life if you care about how much money someone else makes...
@whatshendrix Actual most eastern european and russian musicians attend free government paid musical classes that are on the same level of those at musical college in the US, Rammstein is far far far more educated in musical theory and proficient than say you will ever be. Infact most eastern euro and russian musicians are proficient in concert instruments as well as their usual rocking instruments. Not to mention the guitar is more of an atmospheric instrument in industrial metal "dimwit"
As if you know how educated I am, you arrogant asshole... I doubt they've ever come accross Schoenberg's books on harmony, serialism and chromatism or any book on counterpoint, jazz composition, orchestration, polytonalities and all that is just part of my preliminary education. You want to talk smack about others - speak with facts. If they're educated, they are certainly NOT applying anything they've learned, which renders their education void and superficial.
Furthermore you can't just vaguely compare the music education in the US with free classes in Eastern Europe. I live in Eastern Europe and I can assure you there's no such thing as free music classes, let alone classes which are at Berkeley's level, even our universities which charge heavily are far from that level.
If you think you can just come up with unverifiable bullshit and talk smack, you've got another thing coming.
@whatshendrix I highly doubt that you live in Eastern Europe, and yes the USSR during cold war times provided students age 5-18 with free musical classes. Just take a look at the Musicians of Aria. Lets put that aside for now. Like stated before in the Genre industrial metal the guitar is not as prominent and more of an atmospheric instrument. You cant deny that. Talking smack? huh? I could've sworn that you came on this video to specifically talk smack on rammstein.
@whatshendrix "furthermore" may I ask what you plan to accomplish by talking smack on the musicianship of others? Please Mr Epitomy of Music may we hear some of your original compositions. Maybe you can even teach me a few scales you composed based on jazz theory. Studying music does not determine how proficient you are, instead innovation and creativity among other things does. I see guitarists playing complicated arrangements that sound like shit, i'd take simplicity&quality over that any day.
1. Shows how much you know about music theory... Music theory is meant to cultivate creativity and it's used so you can explain to yourself what you hear, what you're doing, why you're doing it and how you can start to do it better. It's the equivalent of knowing how to read and write in the language of music.
2. Is it the cold war now, smart-ass?
3. What are YOU trying to accomplish, Mr I-don't-know-shit-about-music?
4. I came here to see an interview with Paul Landers.
@whatshendrix Sir, I never Said i was expertise in musical theory and anything of that nature, but it seems you try to imply that to yourself with cheap sophistry.
"Is it the cold war now?" Rammstein is from GDR and lived through cold war times, "smart-ass".
This is not an interview idiot-type this is just a promotional Native Instruments got Paul to do for their product.
1. If you never claimed to know what you're talking about, don't talk about it then.
2. This, in principle, is nothing less of an interview, whatever you may call it, but even if it wasn't it wouldn't be very hard to imagine what I might have meant, would it, "idiot-type"?
3. Ask yourself if it's minimalism I'm REALLY "frowning upon" and you will understand my position. I admire minimalism - it's an act of mastery, but simply keeping it simple IS NOT minimalism.
@whatshendrix I never really got into depth about music. I know about everything that i was talking about i.e. scales, arrangements, etc. You've really done yourself no justice and still digress from my questions. So what are you frowning upon? "The same chugging riffs they've been putting out for years"? If so why? What is Minimalism to you? Also I ask you stop listing your comments with numbers it again is also doing you no justice. So when can we hear your "stuff"?
If you HAD EVER read ANYTHING about critical thinking and valid argumentation you would've understood that this numbering of arguments is of more use to YOU than it is to me!
You had your answer ten times already!!! Do you want me to give you an answer fit for a 2 year old? Ok. I'm here because the bar has been lowered too much because you listen as if you're half asleep.
Once again "I admire minimalism - it's an act of mastery, but simply keeping it simple IS NOT minimalism"
@whatshendrix That answer.... it is just pure GENIOUS. HOW DID YOU GET SO EDUCATED?(Sarcasm, in case you don't pick up on it) Are you serious? Not only have you attacked the musicianship no you're trying to prove oppinions wrong. Completely pathetic Sir. No one must or will ever envy sorry to say, but it is true. Now please answer the actual question Why do you find it necessary to negatively critique the musicianship of others? Are Adam Jones or Alex Lifeson good in your "humble" oppinion?
If I am criticizing musicians it brings nothing but discussing of music and of talent. Only good can come of that EVEN IF I turn out to be just some arrogant prick to you.
Your trying to denigrate me is just you spewing your hate and leads to no discourse AT ALL.
@whatshendrix Infact i am quite sorry. I said you were criticizing Paul Landers, but that is clearly not the case seeing as criticism is an in depth systematic analysis. While your "criticism" of Paul is nothing more than an oppinion seeing that it is without detailed and disciplined explanations. Back to the fact of the matter; If the Music is simple and sounds good to many people is that wrong? Infact i think their is no proper or accurate way to criticize a musician in perspective.
@whatshendrix Fuller and fuller?, I suppose. Saying something does not make i true. You can say that this is an interview, but it is clearly not. You can say that im am getting fuller and fuller of myself, but that is an oppinion, and you can say Paul is the worst guitarist in history and that is oppinion. I just wish to know why you think the way you do?
You've done nothing but attempt denigrate me so far, and for someone who wants to know my thoughts you certainly don't try to understand what I'm writing before you respond.
I actually enjoy Rammstein's music, I wouldn't be here if I didn't. I like their energy a lot. I also enjoy playing their riffs for the same reason. I also play their music every time I hit the gym. But calling this "minimalism" or calling them very talented is simply an overstatement.
@whatshendrix Did i call them talented? I've listened to your recording, My honest oppinion; it is not bad, but the way you're pushing your arugment i expected something "golden". Infact no offense i've heard better from people who are completely musically "untrained". Calling them talented would be oppinion would it not? Yes, in my oppinion minimalism is keeping it simple and keeping the sound good. Complicated shit sounds can stay with death metal garbage.
First of all complicated and complex are not the same.
Minimalistic pieces say A LOT with little means. Simplicity is simply saying too little - like "the dinner was good".
Minimalism aims to strip a piece of art to it's essentials. It's not about just keeping it simple, you can say very complicated and complex things with minimalistic means. That's the point of minimalism. That's why it's actually quite a complex endeavour to bring a minimalistic piece to life.
You're talking about the word "minimalism" which you are using in an arbitrary manner. I understand what you mean, but "minimalism" is actually a term which refers to something very specific.
As for the music I shared with you - you've listened to it once. It's definitely not golden or nowhere near what I am capable of and it was recorded when I had no real music education, but even if it was golden no one would ever be able to tell after just hearing it once.
@whatshendrix I would not be able to tell if it was golden or not ever. I am no great musician nor will i pretend to be. If it sounds good i applaud you if it sounds bad i encourage you to try harder simple or not. I play Rammstein riffs all the time they are very simple power chords most of the time what more could you ask for its industrial metal. "understood their music" let me stop you right there. Everyones understanding of music is different and thats the beauty of it.
Here are the corrections to your posts, Mr Illiteracy:
If it sounds good [ I ] applaud you [ , ] if it sounds bad [ I ] encourage you to try harder [ , ] simple or not. I play Rammstein riffs all the time [ , ] they are very simple power chords most of the time [ , ] what more could you ask for [ - ] it[ ' ]s industrial metal. "Understood their music" [ ? ]Let me stop you right there. Everyones understanding of music is different and that[ ' ]s the beauty of it.
The point is this - you condemn me of being too rough on other musicians even though I've listened, played and understood their music for more than a decade now, yet you pass judgement after vaguely hearing ONE piece ONE time? That's very hypocritical, even if you didn't meant to be a hypocrite.
@whatshendrix Well me, im trying to establish that in certain genres of music the Guitar isnt prominent and minimalism should not be frowned upon. Why dont you answer my question Mr. Epitomy of Music? Now please explain what you are trying to accomplish by talking smack on the musicianship of others? And Sir, when may we hear some of your original compositions? Your knowledge on Music doesnt mean anything if it isnt applicable. By the way... Pathetic Digression, man.
4. Did you think to yourself "does this guy know about minimalism and/or industrial metal" before you decided to "establish" common facts?
5. I am not here to advertise my own music, nor is my music relevant. I doubt you'd keep your ego aside and an open-mind anyway. I won't let you hear something you'll try your hardest to dislike. I'm here to bring attention to the musicianship of others (and utter lack of it). If you really insist you will have a link to some of my work.
@whatshendrix Also you meant "Would it not?" not "would it". If you are some sort knowledgeable musician, You might want to consider taking grammar classes because laziness is no excuse. Ego? No if you are "dishing" out good music i wont lie, but my oppinion of you will not change; that your presence in the musical world is that which downs creativity of others and ridicules the musicianship of others.
@whatshendrix Immature? Negative emotions? I just find it "wrong" that you question the musicianship of others and give them absolutely no credit for anything they've done. I enjoy Rammstein's music, but i acknowledge others have oppinion and i'd rather not waste my time "sweating" over someone else's oppinion because everyone has one. I just wish to know why you judge the musicians of Rammstein the way you do and based on what? My argument has remained intact.
My grammar is flawless, you are just being plain stupid.
This is what I meant - "It WOULD NOT be hard to imagine..., WOULD IT?". This is what I DID NOT mean "It WOULD BE hard to imagine..., WOULD IT NOT?". Both senteces are perfectly correct in terms of grammar BUT both have different meanings.
@whatshendrix You may say Paul is a talentless "dimwit", but someone else could think his playing is wonderful. One's understanding of music will always be subjected to personal oppinion based on appeals. Saying you understand their music for more than a decade is fine to say in your own sense, but you act as if your understanding goes for the rest of us.
If my opinion is that you're a terrorist, does that make it so? That's exactly how relevant opinions are. There are always facts and you can know the truth through them. It's a fact that it doesn't take much talent to chug power chords for twenty years.
Being a hypocrite is NOT simply contradicting yourself. Being a hypocrite is being critical of others and not yourself, which you are. You wouldn't allow yourself to pass judgment if you weren't.
@whatshendrix Take a look at my comment before. "laziness is no excuse, even for me".
Read everything before you type. I'm done here. I don't see the point in going back and forth. I've asked you what 2+2 is and you've said 4 and when i ask why, your reply is; it just does. You tell me what minimalism isn't, but you don't tell me what it is. With that said i question your credibility. Music is interpreted differently by everyone, i respect your oppinion, now you may discard your ego.
@whatshendrix There is no doubt you are the most excellent musician on the planet. There is no doubt that everyone looks to you for criticism. What i dont understand is why talentless people talk smack on talentless people. Have a good life, continue writing your "complex and innovative" music, but I do recommend you stop being so aggressive you've seemed to often get inflamed, your tone in the argument has definately been aggressive and emotional. Hope the effort was worth the titles, bye now.
@whatshendrix And im the one with the ego? And im the douche bag? And im the hypocrite? And im the one who is halfwitted? You are resorting to hateful remarks and now You've got your last words in, happy?
Next time evaluate what you're going to type up before trying to buy cheap sophistry. Good bye now.
You didn't even evaluate your own grammar and punctuation before having a go at mine and failed miserably at it because it was and still is without a single flaw. You didn't even attempt to correct the mistakes I pointed out in your latter posts. What a joke. I have no tolerance for such persistent stupidity - go fuck yourself.
p.s. - for the last time, troll, "im" is spelled as " I[ ' ]m" - capital " I ", apostrophe, "m". How can you say that "lazyness is not an excuse" and then make two mistakes within a two-letter word? You have to type three symbols and you fuck up two of them FOUR TIMES IN A ROW WITHIN A SINGLE POST! And all of that after pretending to be the grammar police. And you're still here arguing that I'M "buying cheap sophistry". Where do you get off?! lol
@whatshendrix Again laziness is not an excuse please try and use commas. Mr. Flawless Grammar. I dont condemn you for the last time, i just wish to know why you think the way you do? What your idea of minimalism is? Because everyone has their own interpretation of music, their own ideas of minimamlism, and so forth.
Hypocrisy? I did not contradict my own claims so where are you getting at.
"Please try and use commas"? Have you ever heard that before you address someone you should add a comma, Mr Shitty Grammar?
Have you ever heard that "don't" is written with an appostrophe? Have you ever heard that " i " is ALWAYS spelled with a CAPITAL "I"? You've never even heard of subordinate clause and you've allowed yourself 10 mistakes in ONE POST ALONE, yet you dare challenge MY GRAMMAR?
You can't have your own opinion on OBJECTIVE matters. The TERM minimalism is AN OBJECT. Its meaning has been established! You don't have the right to an opinion about its definition. You think you do because you know nothing about it - to you it's a word to toss around whenever you speak of simplicity in music. As I have explained two times already - minimalism is much more than simplicity.
That's 10 mistakes in 5 sentences, which you've written as 4 because you don't know where punctuation marks are needed. And I admit that I could be missing some as I didn't put much effort into finding ALL of your mistakes.
This attitude you have about grammar is the same as the one you have about music - you're an illiterate talking about matters way beyond your scope and hiding from the facts behind your "opinion".
@Taeroth Being in a band like Rammstein doesn't make you rich, if he gets out of Rammstein he just have to get a job to get money. Because all the money is like from the band for instruments and stuff or studio, but not for the persons self. Maybe he does have a lot of money but it can also not
@zamg0d1 hahah are you serious ? do you think a band as big as Ramstien pays for their instruments .... I wouldnt be surprised if GIANT companies paid Ramstien to play their instruments.
Danke Paul for the great explanation and all the secrets revealed :p That's incredible what a cpu can do now... And another album !!! Woahw! I'm still in the last one like it was new ^^
@rockandrollyeah1234 not everyone cares only about complexity. Overall sound and composition makes a good song, even if the individual parts aren't overly complex. Skill in composition separates the garage bands from Rammstein.
I feel like Paul is the most lovable member of Rammstein. All the others are great guys, don't get me wrong. But I went to see them live a week ago and as everyone else was all serious and in character, Paul just looked like he was having fun. Mind you, Till chuckled while he was singing "Feuer Frei" because Flake was messing about :3

Being in a band or being successful has nothing at all to do with your competence as a musician/composer. This guy is just another mediocre guitarist in a popular band.

@whatshendrix Actual most eastern european and russian musicians attend free government paid musical classes that are on the same level of those at musical college in the US, Rammstein is far far far more educated in musical theory and proficient than say you will ever be. Infact most eastern euro and russian musicians are proficient in concert instruments as well as their usual rocking instruments. Not to mention the guitar is more of an atmospheric instrument in industrial metal "dimwit"

As if you know how educated I am, you arrogant asshole... I doubt they've ever come accross Schoenberg's books on harmony, serialism and chromatism or any book on counterpoint, jazz composition, orchestration, polytonalities and all that is just part of my preliminary education. You want to talk smack about others - speak with facts. If they're educated, they are certainly NOT applying anything they've learned, which renders their education void and superficial.

Furthermore you can't just vaguely compare the music education in the US with free classes in Eastern Europe. I live in Eastern Europe and I can assure you there's no such thing as free music classes, let alone classes which are at Berkeley's level, even our universities which charge heavily are far from that level.
If you think you can just come up with unverifiable bullshit and talk smack, you've got another thing coming.
You're not talking to your ignorant peers.

@whatshendrix I highly doubt that you live in Eastern Europe, and yes the USSR during cold war times provided students age 5-18 with free musical classes. Just take a look at the Musicians of Aria. Lets put that aside for now. Like stated before in the Genre industrial metal the guitar is not as prominent and more of an atmospheric instrument. You cant deny that. Talking smack? huh? I could've sworn that you came on this video to specifically talk smack on rammstein.

@whatshendrix "furthermore" may I ask what you plan to accomplish by talking smack on the musicianship of others? Please Mr Epitomy of Music may we hear some of your original compositions. Maybe you can even teach me a few scales you composed based on jazz theory. Studying music does not determine how proficient you are, instead innovation and creativity among other things does. I see guitarists playing complicated arrangements that sound like shit, i'd take simplicity&quality over that any day.

1. Shows how much you know about music theory... Music theory is meant to cultivate creativity and it's used so you can explain to yourself what you hear, what you're doing, why you're doing it and how you can start to do it better. It's the equivalent of knowing how to read and write in the language of music.
2. Is it the cold war now, smart-ass?
3. What are YOU trying to accomplish, Mr I-don't-know-shit-about-music?

@whatshendrix Sir, I never Said i was expertise in musical theory and anything of that nature, but it seems you try to imply that to yourself with cheap sophistry.
"Is it the cold war now?" Rammstein is from GDR and lived through cold war times, "smart-ass".
This is not an interview idiot-type this is just a promotional Native Instruments got Paul to do for their product.

whatshendrix 3 months ago
@whatshendrix Infact i am quite sorry. I said you were criticizing Paul Landers, but that is clearly not the case seeing as criticism is an in depth systematic analysis. While your "criticism" of Paul is nothing more than an oppinion seeing that it is without detailed and disciplined explanations. Back to the fact of the matter; If the Music is simple and sounds good to many people is that wrong? Infact i think their is no proper or accurate way to criticize a musician in perspective.

I actually enjoy Rammstein's music, I wouldn't be here if I didn't. I like their energy a lot. I also enjoy playing their riffs for the same reason. I also play their music every time I hit the gym. But calling this "minimalism" or calling them very talented is simply an overstatement.
whatshendrix 3 months ago
@whatshendrix Did i call them talented? I've listened to your recording, My honest oppinion; it is not bad, but the way you're pushing your arugment i expected something "golden". Infact no offense i've heard better from people who are completely musically "untrained". Calling them talented would be oppinion would it not? Yes, in my oppinion minimalism is keeping it simple and keeping the sound good. Complicated shit sounds can stay with death metal garbage.
AvtomatPruneJuice 3 months ago
@AvtomatPruneJuice
First of all complicated and complex are not the same.
Minimalistic pieces say A LOT with little means. Simplicity is simply saying too little - like "the dinner was good".
Minimalism aims to strip a piece of art to it's essentials. It's not about just keeping it simple, you can say very complicated and complex things with minimalistic means. That's the point of minimalism. That's why it's actually quite a complex endeavour to bring a minimalistic piece to life.
whatshendrix 3 months ago
@whatshendrix A few characteristic of minimalism; Continuities, phase and pattern, concept, layering, length.
What more can i say Rammstein does a great job of that They are indeed minimalist guitarists.
So is Daron Malakian, Kenney Hickey, Adam Jones, Alex Lifeson, I would even consider Hendrix minimalist.

@AvtomatPruneJuice
You're talking about the word "minimalism" which you are using in an arbitrary manner. I understand what you mean, but "minimalism" is actually a term which refers to something very specific.
As for the music I shared with you - you've listened to it once. It's definitely not golden or nowhere near what I am capable of and it was recorded when I had no real music education, but even if it was golden no one would ever be able to tell after just hearing it once.
whatshendrix 3 months ago
@whatshendrix I would not be able to tell if it was golden or not ever. I am no great musician nor will i pretend to be. If it sounds good i applaud you if it sounds bad i encourage you to try harder simple or not. I play Rammstein riffs all the time they are very simple power chords most of the time what more could you ask for its industrial metal. "understood their music" let me stop you right there. Everyones understanding of music is different and thats the beauty of it.

@whatshendrix You may say Paul is a talentless "dimwit", but someone else could think his playing is wonderful.

If my opinion is that you're a terrorist, does that make it so? That's exactly how relevant opinions are. There are always facts and you can know the truth through them. It's a fact that it doesn't take much talent to chug power chords for twenty years.
Being a hypocrite is NOT simply contradicting yourself. Being a hypocrite is being critical of others and not yourself, which you are. You wouldn't allow yourself to pass judgment if you weren't.

Read everything before you type. I'm done here. I don't see the point in going back and forth. I've asked you what 2+2 is and you've said 4 and when i ask why, your reply is; it just does.

You can't have your own opinion on OBJECTIVE matters. The TERM minimalism is AN OBJECT. Its meaning has been established! You don't have the right to an opinion about its definition. You think you do because you know nothing about it - to you it's a word to toss around whenever you speak of simplicity in music. As I have explained two times already - minimalism is much more than simplicity.
whatshendrix 3 months ago

That's 10 mistakes in 5 sentences, which you've written as 4 because you don't know where punctuation marks are needed. And I admit that I could be missing some as I didn't put much effort into finding ALL of your mistakes.
This attitude you have about grammar is the same as the one you have about music - you're an illiterate talking about matters way beyond your scope and hiding from the facts behind your "opinion".
