Tour Info

Rammstein's management is not sure if the Leipzig show is cancelled or not. Dortmund is definitely cancelled, but there is a chance that Leipzig may still take place, but with a different line-up and new tickets would need to be purchased. No word if this different line-up still includes Rammstein....
Management has now confirmed that BOTH Off Limits Festivals have been cancelled.

July 16, 2002

Cancelled Tour Date

The Off Limits Festival in Dortmund has been cancelled. The reason given was for low ticket sales and Slipknot dropping off. As of now, Leipzig is still on, but with a different line-up. I think Rammstein and Andrew W.K. will still be on it.

The book with Till's poems and texts is the one titled Messer (knife). It can be found on Amazon.de. It should be released sometime this year, rumored to be in September.

Richard's Ring

Richard lost his ring at the Rock Werchter show. From the official site: Richard has lost an ostentatious ring shortly before the show. It regards a huge ornated silver ring. Despite of an intensive search, this ring was nowhere to be found.
Richard emotionally clings to this piece of jewellery due to a very personal matter.
Of course there will be an appropriate reward.
I hope if someone finds it, they return it....
