Feeling B was apunk rock band founded inEast Berlin in 1983. They started out firmly grounded in the undergroundpunk scene. Over time, Feeling B's popularity grew greatly, and climaxed around the end of theGerman Democratic Republic.[1]
FrontmanAljoscha Rompe (1947–2000), a Swiss living inEast Berlin, supplied the vocals to the band's songs. Rompe, guitaristPaul Landers, and keyboardistChristian "Flake" Lorenz were the only consistent members throughout the band's history. At various times, the band included bassist Christoph Zimmermann and drummers Alexander Kriening andChristoph "Doom" Schneider. Landers, Lorenz, and Schneider later found fame withRammstein.[2]
First Arsch drummer and future Rammstein singerTill Lindemann participated once with Feeling B for the song "Lied von der unruhevollen Jugend", an interpretation of a Russian communist song, for which he is credited on the albumHea Hoa Hoa Hea Hea Hoa. Landers contributed guitar to First Arsch's 1992 albumSaddle Up. Lindemann and Landers, as members of Rammstein, performed this song live inSt. Petersburg and Moscow in 2001, during that band's 'Mutter' tour.
On 9 November 1989, whenthe Berlin Wall fell, Feeling B was performing inWest Berlin as part of a gig endorsed by the socialist government in order to promote the eastern side. Flake noticed some friends among the crowd that wouldn't normally be able to be there and was informed of the collapse of the wall. The band was unable to return home that night because all the holes through the wall were so crowded.[2]
Feeling B released two albums following the fall of the Wall,Wir kriegen Euch alle in 1991 andDie Maske des Roten Todes in 1993, both more successful than their predecessor, according to Flake.[2]
The group disbanded in the mid-1990s. On special occasions, the band members got together for individual concerts at punk festivals, until Rompe died in November 2000 of an asthma attack at 53 years old. Zimmermann died in a plane crash in 1999. Eventually, Lorenz re-discovered tapes of old and partial unreleased recordings. This unreleased material and remixes of some already known songs were released asGrün & Blau in 2007.
