Yep, he is coming to the BDO with Rammstein, but apparently he also plans to take a road trip around NZ at some point.
To be honest, with the first Aussie show a couple of days after the Auckland show, I'm not seeing Richard and his friends getting much sight-seeing in, but hell, he can try. He's probably under-estimating how long it takes to drive around NZ, if he's used to US interstate highways and the Autobahn.
To those of you who haven't driven in NZ, the roads are not all flat and straight. We're sitting on top of a major set of faultlines and have a spine of mountains and volcanos. We're mountainous and rocky, and our roads resemble nothing so much as the coastline of Norway. It is all rather beautiful though. It's well worth the effort, and I recommend renting cars that corner really well...
Kruspe added he was determined to see more of New Zealand than the backstage area of Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium.
"It [the Big Day Out] is one of those events where we can try and combine all our holidays and business together," he said.
"I want to do a road-trip [in New Zealand] ... I have some friends coming with me and we want to rent a car and see some of the country.
"When you are travelling all the time you don't [often get the chance] to see the country. This time I want to get a car and go from city to city ... I want to know a bit more about the country."
