The German that launched his career

I’ve been listening to them since I was ten, back in 2000, and I learned German because of them: I wanted to understand what they were saying. The surprise came later — that language, which I picked up for the lyrics, is the one that launched my professional career.

I saw them in Colombia in 2010. In 2019 I was in Vienna for the tour’s closing night and didn’t make it inside. I made up for it in 2022, in Mexico. I have almost the whole general discography: I’m missing two DVDs, and I never got as far as buying every single. Official clothing, obviously. And a tattoo on my neck with the band’s logo.

What caught me from the start is their way of expressing so much without being direct, leaving a certain mystery and ambiguity in everything.
