["German Chancellor"] Angela Merkel cannot boast popularity like Putin [...] I like him. He is a hard leader, not a puppet, unlike many.

Till Lindemann usually says his parents were supportive. Despite this, his mom walked out during a show. Lindemann said this toRolling Stoneon the subject:

"We played in restaurants and pubs in southern Germany. My family went to a place near my village. There was one song, "Das Alte Leid"",where I sang on stage, "I want to f*ck," "Ich will ficken." Back then, singing that in front of 800 people felt obscene. I saw my mom turn and leave the venue. My sister started laughing and cheering. Mixed feelings, mixed reactions. The song is slow, heavy, and stomping. It is a kind of poem. I sing very darkly, then suddenly, "I want to f*ck!"Lindemann's mom left during a concert. She worked at a radio station. She brought her colleagues to the concert in Hamburg. She said, "Come on, my son is playing! Let's check it out."

Lindemann said he did not enjoy the process.He told Playboy this.Playboy.:

"It was horrible. While I was on the swimming team, I swam 30 kilometers daily, waking at five in the morning. In the evening, I went to bed totally exhausted. Now I had time to spend in the quarters with cheap houses and had to start fights to be accepted. And drinking lots of Schnapps counted."
