Oliver Riedel

Nickname: "Olli"
Day of birth: 11 April, 1971
Sign of the Zodiac: Aries
Born in: Schwerin, Germany
Hair: Use to shave his head, but naturally has dark, almost black hair.
Eyes: brown
Height: 6'6-6'7 (around 200 cm)
Weight: 185 pounds (around 84 kg)
Band before Rammstein: The Inchtaboktables (the Inchies)
Family/Background: Oliver's history is quite tragical. He lived with his father and his brother and didn't meet his mother until he was 16. Then he got a work at her restaurant. Both his fahter and his brother died, two days after Olli's 17th birthday. I want to know more!! Mail me if you know anything. Thanks...
Smokes?: Yes.
Piercing/tatoo: He's supposed to have a tatoo somewhere on his body.
Other fun stuff: He worked as a plasterer, and once a time were in a fiddle band!!
He has played bass for almost 20 years, so he is very skilled!! He was actually the one who came up with the idea to the music to "Seemann". In the band he's closest to Paul. He's interested in photographing, and I've heard that he also likes sports. He used to be a surfer and he has got a skatebord that he ejoys. He is described as rather quiet and reserved, but maybe that not means that he is shy. In school he loved math. Had sex the first time when he was 18. Is against capital punishment.
My favourite Olli quotation: "Actually I have vacation all the time" [He seems to take it cool...]

Thanks to Yissy99, Sandra [Der Wahnsinn], Susie and especially Rick!
