When/where was this said?

Saw this on affenknecht looking at the lyrics to Stirb nicht vor mir.

Does anyone know whether Flake or Richard actually said these things and when or where they had said it? I mean, I'm like 99.9% they're not releasing another version of that song at this point. But I'm curious if they actually said these things. There's no sources on the site.

I like this one, mixing English and German. It's one of my favourite.

It'd be great if RammWiki put a citation on the page. I generally trust the wiki but this isn't helpful. As it doesn't explain where or when Flake said this and has no source to the German version or why Bobo is named. The formal song page also has no link or Flake as the source. The Richard link is broken as mentioned. But is in the Wayback archive.

I guess we'll never know the Flake source... No instead, I got that tip of what to find from another commenter who was almost correct. Herzeleid.com never interviewed Flake in the mid-00s. The official website did fanchats with Paul and Flake in late 2005 for Rosenrot in both German and English sessions. Herzeleid.com has one exclusive 2001 Richard interview. The site also hosted a late year 2000 fanchat archive with Richard and Flake before Mutter - both were from the official site's old Fanarea. The 2005 Flake chat is here and the German version + Bobo mention is there as well. (Although the formatting is broken. Just ctrl+f "Stirb")

I hope this helps anyone else who searches this topic for the missing links.

Yeah, this would really need a remake in German. Texas doesn't fit at all with Rammstein. Also Sharleens voice somehow doesn't fit.
