A little known fact about Rammstein is that Oliver (Ollie) Riedel has come close to being kicked out of the band on nearly a dozen occasions. Another little known fact is that he once held the coveted position of being the lead singer, until one fateful night in 1998, when he suggested, in jest, that the band be renamed The Ollie Riedel Effect. He was demoted to being the bassist as punishment for even daring to suggest such a God-awful name. Riedel was bitter, and he swore he’d make his band mates lives a living hell for as long as “Rammstein” existed. Till Lindemann once mentioned that Ollie was nearly kicked out of the band again in the summer of 1999 for coming to them with a stupid band name every 2 or 3 days. Schneider said of the same situation “It was like every single fucking day, Ollie would come to my house, go into my room, lie in my bed, and wake me up at 3am or 4am with something stupid like “Oh, Schneider, I think we should change the band name to Stalin’s Mustache ” and I’m like “Ollie, fucking shut the fuck up and go home! The sun isn’t even up yet!” It was seriously annoying, even I almost left the band at one point.“ In 2003, Flake got into a vicious drunken brawl with Ollie at a biergarten during Munich’s Oktoberfest, when he casually suggested they change the band name to Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft. “It was getting so bad.” Flake said in regards to the event “We all suffered. I was having chronic migraines, Paul wasn’t showing up to rehearsals, Till was suffering from insomnia. It was so bad. Ollie’s constant suggestion of stupid band names had such a poisonous effect on us, the only way we could stop it was for me to put him in his place.” In 2006, during the production of Liebe ist für alle da, Till Lindemann threatened to sue Riedel and kick him out of the band if he made any more band name suggestions. When asked about the situation, Riedel replied: “I still think it’s hilarious. One time I walked into the recording studio and said “Hey guys, how about gingerbread cookies?” and they thought I was suggesting we rename the band Gingerbread Cookies, and they got so pissed and it was so funny. Paul was actually crying and wailing “Not this shit again!” Till chased me around the entire building with my bass and threatened to destroy me with it, and ended up throwing it into on-coming traffic. Schneider actually left the building, and became so stressed out, he had to go on a two month vacation to an isolated island in the South Pacific to clear his mind and forget that actually happened. The joke was on them though. I did have ginger bread cookies. I ate all of them. I make good gingerbread cookies.“
