Feeling B was a German punk rock band.
The band was founded in Berlin in 1983 and started out firmly grounded in the underground punk scene. Over time, Feeling B's popularity grew greatly and at the end of the German Democratic Republic.
Frontman Aljoscha Rompe, a Swiss living in East Berlin, supplied the vocals to the band's songs. His accompanying keyboardist and guitarist have since found fame as keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz and rhythm-guitarist Paul Landers of Rammstein.
Rammstein's singer, Till Lindemann, also participated once with Feeling B for the song "Lied von der unruhevollen Jugend", for which he is credited on the album Hea Hoa Hoa Hea Hea Hoa. Rammstein twice played this song live in St. Petersburg and Moscow in 2001, during their 'Mutter' tour.
The group disbanded mid 1990s. On special occasions, the band members would get together for individual concerts at punk festivals, until Rompe died in November 2000 of an asthma attack at 53 years old.
Eventually Flake rediscovered tapes of old and partial unreleased recordings. This unreleased material and remixes of some already known songs were released as Grün & Blau in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word feeling:
“When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs. They then accept, in some measure, that its errors are their errors, its aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. It’s a remarkably shrewed and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
