Paul Landers

~ Concert Personality ~

He's the "mean one on the left . . . . . . . . . . . . . . !"

So, there are two guitarists and ONE of them is the one of the left-- Paul. Watching him, all you see is a man wearing makeup, a gold chain, pants & a vest and sneakers playing guitar and singing backup. You also notice the menacing look on his face and in his eyes (well, as much as distance permits). You feel a bit uncomfortable for a second under the glare. "Vicious fellow," you think. Especially when he doesn't play-- he stands there with quite the look, arms crossed and looking to the audience, just GLARING. He's got an attitude to parallel the loud and angry sounding music coming from the stage!

And even with the vest, he's still scarily menacing. Makes you shiver to wonder what he must be thinking at that moment. . . The girl in the front as dinner or her friend . . . . .?

Studying him, you find him in your mind to be a strong, determined guy who knows his stuff. Constantly headbanging and often stomping his foot (the boy's got rhythm, you must admit!) The odd time, you observe, he will act silly-- stopping to mock a fellow band member or to laugh at something. But, for the majority of the time, he is a tough-looking guitar player who WILL let you know if you're offensive (Nazis ****DO NOT**** go over well). He's intimidating and someone who you wouldn't want to get in the way of . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Paul landers- one of the most diverse band members of Rammstein! On stage, he's looks sort of vicious (to some people, mind you. Not all) but in real life?

------- Watch around you at A L L times ---------

He's ******* THE ********* joker of the group!

Yes folks, that's our wonderful Paul! Stories about Paul include the Bagel Revolution (he threw bagels at people and proceded to steal Lindemann's . . . "hey you! That's my dinner!"); the Super Soaker Situation (as soon as he realized how to work a super soaker, he . . . . um . . . .showed it to the roadies. . . the DRENCHING way!); the *Du Hast* Video (while the camera was doing close-ups of the band looking down into it, Paul decided to put on an angry face. Or tried to, anyway. If you watch the video SIDEWAYS, you'll see the humour in it); the Ceiling Tile Dinner (all I will say is watch the Family Values Tour '98 video . . . . "mmm! Tastes like chicken"); and there are many other funny stories, many where he's quite animated--------

* But we LOVE him for it!!!! *

Some of miscellaeneous pieces of information which are completely USELESS but have to be said (some which will be added later on...hehe):

i) at the moment (July '99) he's got a girlfriend (oh, sigh)
ii) he's a dad......awwww! :)
iii) he can be....agh.....SERIOUS!
iv) he's likes listening to Celine Dion and listens to other types of music, not just industrial. . . seems like a techno/Eurodance kind of person to me!
v) according to someone, the man can dance =)
vi) on a pointless note here: he's the only Rammstein member (to this date) that's been caught with FOOD in pictures . . . . like that matters. Still, I'd be careful about meeting up with him when he's eating cherries or apples or something. . . . Ceiling tiles matter, too.
vii) he contributes to writing the music :)
viii) he was the 4th person to join the band
ix) he's always pretty laid back- you can (in off times) find him wondering about in shirts and sweaters and whatever . . . suits apparently. . . . and interestingly, a TOUQUE (Family Values '98)

Personality Traits (this is just a personal observation . . . I'm bound to be missing some traits, but these are all pretty important. So, if you EVER meet up with Mr Landers, you'll know what to expect. ;)
