I seen them with Motley Crue in early 2000s , not sure if he was current bassist than. It was a great show they sounded so clean and tight . Oh and Germany has Rammstein too 🤘🏻

No, he was their bassist from 1974 when they cut their first album, through 12 more albums, and left the band in 1992 to “spend more time with his family“. I think there were some differences within the band that probably played a role as well.
