Olli Speaks Too!

The strongly silent types are getting chatty this month. Not only has Till opened his mouth off-stage, but Olli has given an interview too.

A translation of the Spanish is kindly provided by SkeletonCrew, along with the source link itself:
Hello, I'm Oliver of Rammstein. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be here in Chile. We have a friend in Berlin who is Chilean and told us a lot about his country and we are very happy to play here.

How has it been in Chile?
-I feel very good in Chile, the people are nice and happy. The people that attended to us in the airport were friendly and polite. The Rammstein fans were in a frenzy but without being extreme.

Rammstein has always had to deal with censorship...
-We come from a socialy rigid system in which art is a mean for escape. We rebelled against the system. After the wall came down we formed the band.

Rammstein has controversial lyrics...
-It's our way of venting. But we don't see it as agressive but as a way of expressing ourselves.

Rammstein fuses Industrial sounds with Metal. How did this combination come about?
-There's 6 of us in the band and we all have our own influences. And out of that came Rammstein.

What do you expect from the Santiago (Chile) concert?
-We don't know what to expect...Tomorrow we'll do a show with fire, but it wont be the same as in Europe. It'll be a spectacular show with lights, music and fire. At the end we'll play Liebe ist für alle da and we'll do some kind of theatrical act with the song...

Further to this a correction of the German to Spanish translation comes from Ganxxxter on Herzeleid:
"Translation fail of RockNvivo.com.
Olli talks about the LIFAD album, not the song.
In fact, Olli says that: "Letztenendes (=letztendlich) spielen wir jetzt die Show zu LIFAD und das ist dann eigentlich schon wie ein Theaterstück, wo alles einstudiert ist."
In English: "After all we play the show for LIFAD and that is actually a (theatre) play, where everything is studied."
In addition, he never said that the song LIFAD will be the last song of the concert."
