Stage Persona
Lindemann has a very powerful on-stage presence and a resonant bass voice. One of his signature mannerisms is to partially squat and pound his fist onto his thigh to the beat of the riff; this move is known to Rammstein fans as the "Till-Hammer". His vocals are distinct, as his pronunciation of Standard German deploys a rolled R.
Another attribute seen is his originality in his performances, such as setting himself on fire in the video for "Rammstein" and his questionably obscene antics in the '98 Family Values Tour when he performed "Bück Dich". Lindemann is also a qualified pyrotechnician; after an accident at the Treptow arena in Berlin on 27 September 1996, where a burning stage prop fell into the audience, Rammstein began employing a professional pyrotechnical crew and Lindemann has learned from and also trained with them. About Lindemann, band mate Christoph Schneider says, "Till gets burned all the time, but he likes the pain".
He has also engaged in other masochistic acts on stage.

“Self-pity in its early stage is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.”
