Christoph Schneider
~
Concert Personality ~
So you're incredibly interested in the world of
drummers and are very pleased to finally get to see the drummer
of this band! You've heard some of his very cool drumming on
Rammstein album tracks (and elsewhere) and really want to see
what he does live.
You watch everyone else for a bit then turn to watch the drummer, who's having A LOT of fun on stage! Rather intrigued, you watch. . .
As usual, the man's wearing pants and a vest (you like the wardrobe already you realize) and concentrating on what he's supposed to be playing. Often, he'll look up and out to the audience as well as looking around the stage to all of the band members.
As you watch, you decide that his on-stage personna is completely balanced out- sometimes he's 'quiet' and sometimes he's yelling out, adding an interesting sound to *Du Hast* OR goofing around . . . You're rather enjoying the cute act he puts on, where he tosses out his drum sticks, then pretends to be totally lost as to what he's supposed to do without them-- then gets a sudden "idea" and grabs a pair of flaming drumsticks with a big grin.
Hmm, what's it like meeting up with him in PERSON?

. . . . . . . . . . WELL? . . . . . . . . .

Finally, Christoph is the last member who fails to change personalities between the stage and reality. Actually, if one sits and considers it, both personalities are quite balanced between seriousness & fun!
While some see Schneider for the first time and think that he may be somewhat "mean" (*Du Hast* video is an example), he's very much the opposite. He's a man of very many faces, sometimes playing with the camera and other times just being generally serious about what he's doing. But it still stays the same that he's a cool guy to meet up with!
Some misc facts about Mr. Schneider:
i) dating status is unknown
ii) He
has children, but no one knows anything about it (and it's
staying that way!)
iii)
You can give him a cleaver and he'll figure out what to do with
it
iv) Will willingly listen to Madonna
(as opposed to several who would run the other way)
v) Yes,
he DOES speak English (the whole band does, just for future
reference)
vi) It
is Christoph who is the man in the white shirt in the *Du Hast*
video! :)
vii)
Schneider was the second person in the band
viii)
Christoph went swimming in Lake Ontario during the day of the
Toronto, Canada concert on the North American Tour and actually
**LIVED** through it! Ollie joined him in swimming while a major
storm was going on . . . Till & Paul stayed inside. I'm
surprised noone told them about the igloo pirahnas . . . .
(kidding, kidding! Actually, swimming in the lake is a big issue
around here. It's not a good idea, but hey. They lived!)
ix)
during the Family Values Tour '98 vid, if you observe, he's sort
of "looking out" for the others on stage (that's how I
perceive it)
x) he
contributes to writing the music :)
xi)
he's very friendly! :)
xii)
Supposedly, Schneider has landed an acting job in "The Wings
of The Crow" with Till . . . . could be a hoax, however,
we'll see!
xiii)
For Hallowe'en on the Family Values Tour, Christoph wore a very
interesting outfit. . . um . . . a fashionable diaper & a
PURPLE BRA (Don't ask. Just don't ask)
Personality Traits (personal observations which were made from listening to and watching what Schneiderl hasdone or said . . . missing some traits, but these are important. ;)

Your name of Christoph gives you a strong sense of responsibility in business and material affairs, and the practicality and determination to make a success of anything you undertake. Your ability to organize and direct the efforts of others enables you to excel in any managerial position because you have the ability to grasp the concept of a goal complete with an understanding of the steps to be taken. This name has allowed you to develop depth and breadth of mind. You are able to retain facts, to add new information to your existing store of knowledge. You never seem to be out of your depth of understanding. For these reasons others who may not have the same quickness of mind classify you as a "know it all" and, although you may be highly respected, this characteristic is unlikely to endear you to your associates. You have a very responsible nature, are capable and mature, and are willing to assume a position as a pillar of the community. You are quite healthy, but possible trouble areas are found in the generative organs.
