This article seems to be a series of cut & paste dumps from a fan site. Much comes from here, where the author seems to have released the work from copyright. Much of the information is trivial, without context, and in interviewer/interviewee format, rather than paragraphs. I had to read far down the page to figure out who this person IS.

[edit] Daughters?

Since when did Richard have more than one daughter, and since when did she live in New York? She's German, so the suggestion that he moved to New York to be closer to his children (if he does have children and not just one child) is false. He has said he left because of marriage, his ex-wife does not have children

[edit] Zwen?

Does anyone have any reliable source indicating that the Z in "Richard Z. Kruspe" would stand for "Zwen"? /Hugoflug 21:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

You are close, it is "Zven". He has previously gone by Zven or Sven.

[edit] Timeline

RICH IS THE LEAD GUITARIST

This section should be made into paragraph format. --Der Sporkmeister 10:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

I read in the Rammstein book Richard say he moved out to Berlin in 1988, making him 21. Lilijana 02:09, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Height

There exist no official height listings for any of the band members,Stop adding them. Whoever is adding them is getting them off of some free site that just added any height they thought the band was.The heights are incorrect.

I disagree, the heights are quite accurate for Richard, Till, Paul and Ollie listed at IMDB. How ever, Christoph and Christian's heights are both not reliable at IMDB or any other site. --Redkane 19:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture.

Could somebody put up a better picture of Richard? --Der Sporkmeister 18:38, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Oh come on, that's a great picture! xD Tirentu 20:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthday

His birthday is the same,charles whitman.

[edit] PARENTS

WHAT WERE RICHARD'S PARENTS NAMES??

That is just information that has probably never been released to the public, so no one can really state the names of them. --Redkane 19:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move to Richard Z. Kruspe

Shouldn't this article be moved now that he has changed his last name back to just Kruspe?

Exactly what I was thinking. Needs a lot of cleanup both here and in the Rammstein article itself for that. Tirentu 20:04, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Is Richard married again? I read an article that said he was enjoying the married life.

No, I'm almost positive he never remarried. Ancatdubh43 03:13, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree, move it already. Avenged Evanfold 19:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• move - He took on his wife's name when they got married. Since the divorce, he dropped the name of Bernstein. CardinalFangZERO 08:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signature guitar

The article states "He is the first German guitarist with a signature guitar series from a major label." Who made that one up? Just off the top of my head, I can think of Rudolf and Michael Schenker...

[edit] Amplifier

"Richard uses Engel Amps." This isn't true. Paul Landers uses an Engl Powerball (Yes, spelled 'Engl') and Richard uses an Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier.

Italic texti love you

[edit] Move from East Germany

Not sure what it is about rammstein and silly statements but youve contradicted yourself in 2 paragraphs here. "....one couldn't just leave East Germany, so he entered West Germany through Czechoslovakia. "In 1989 he escaped from East Germany over the border between Austria and Hungary." So which is it? Squad'nLeedah 21:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

The name of the article is still Richard Kruspe-Bernstein for me, I can't change it, the talk page is called Richard Kruspe though. Weird King nothing 13:17, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daughter's birthday

On this page it says that his daughter was born in 1992, however on her page it says she was born in 1991. Anyone have a reliable source as to which is correct? --Tiasu 06:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
