In Extremo pictures

De Bosuil, Weert, May 30, 2003

We were a little bit disappointed because at this concert we were only allowed to take pictures of the first 3 songs. But Alex really took pictures 'at high speed' so we do have a lot of pretty nice ones to show you!

When watching Das Letzte Einhorn sing you cannot miss his distinctive facial expressions and moves of his jaws. Most of them look quite aggressive, but he's not dangerous we assume ;-) We think that's how he tries to put (very raw) emotions into his singing.   
As always Die Lutter doesn't show any expression but his poker face. Actually he showed quite a few smiles today, but Alex didn't catch one on camera unfortunately.
He did shoot a picture of Das Letzte Einhorn laughing! But that's much easier, he jokes around on stage pretty much.
But the most amusing guy on stage today definitely was Yellow Pfeiffer! He really tried to get some interaction with the other band members, but they were busy making a fool of Der Lange because of his limping (he hurt his knee on stage in Nordhorn) most of the time. And Yellow Pfeiffer really is too nice to do such a thing....
Der Lange couldn't take any risk by joking around because of his knee, so he couldn't give Yellow Pfeiffer what he wanted.... He stayed at his place on the left mostly.
But of course we don't mind giving Yellow Pfeiffer some attention when he asks for it. Doesn't he look a bit lonely you think?
Meanwhile Flex Der Biegsame even falls asleep. Doesn't anyone else want to party today?! Wake up Flex!
Ok, that's enough, eating your microphone is not that funny, Flex! Aren't you overacting now?
That's a good boy, just do what you're good at! Doesn't anybody have to wipe off the microphone? Or maybe a roadie can get him another one?
Dr Pymonte (Andre) concentrates on playing his keyboard, so he sure won't take care of the problem....

Did you notice his new, black bagpipes with a duck-like wood-cut?

He even starts to party when he takes his bagpipes again. Flex behaved properly and amusing now. He joined Dr Pymonte to make up for his earlier behavior.
Yellow Pfeiffer is looking for someone to have fun with, but doesn't pay attention when his pals finally start partying. What is worth his attention? Someone doing funny tricks like himself? Boris, the party is over here!
Did anyone say party? I'm coming!
Yes, walking around with my bagpipe buddies, that's why I'm a member of In Extremo!
Let's rock! Me and Marco (Flex) rock better then any dope head guitar player!
Except for our Basti (Der Lange) of course. Even with a limping leg he kicks ass!
And of course Kay (Die Lutter) rocks too, he just doesn't show it because he's too shy to handle attention. Or just very introvert, who knows.... Actually he suddenly had a burst out today, but we weren't allowed to take pictures at that moment anymore unfortunately. He took an open bottle of beer and pressed it against the neck of his guitar to play a rough piece. The beer fizzed around and the roadie had to clean it up. Somewhere in Kay there's a rough, funny man we think.... ;-)
Dr Pymonte takes over so Yellow Pfeiffer can take a little rest at the side. Being funny all the time is a hell of a job you know!
Just like playing drums, only Reiner (Der Morgenstern)  is the only drummer, so he can hardly take a rest!
And the others always manage to get on the picture too! It's hard to sit in the back!
Meanwhile Yellow Pfeiffer got into action again, so let's take a final shot of him, just because he's so good at being photographed ;-)
As always the Extremo's leave the stage to hear us call for more. Here you can see some of the  medieval or otherwise special instruments they play. In the lower corner at the left there's a new drum-like instrument played by Micha (Das Letzte Einhorn) during the new song 'Königin'. We had to get used to the song because of the strange rhythm played on the new 'drum' but some other fans really loved the song immediately. In Nordhorn Der Lange hurt his knee during this song.
Alex did also take lots of pictures of the 'credits ritual'. De Bosuil organization said that band would stop playing when pictures were taken after the third song, but now they would go anyway...

What are the guys looking at?

They are talking Der Morgenstern into coming down to get the credits he deserves. 'Come down or I'm coming up to get you!' Das Letzte Einhorn says. I don't think Der Morgenstern has to be afraid to lose the 'fight'  ;-)
Well, let's start the 'credits ritual' then. Left part of the stage....
...right part of the stage! And Der Morgenstern has come down now. 
After some ritual refusing he walks to the microphone to get some attention of the audience after all.
Take a bow  and show your new haircut.... That's what's being Der Morgenstern is all about! 
Yellow Pfeiffer looks at it quite amused because he knows he has a better haircut, but Die Lutter can only think of sitting down an a nice cool drink....
Ok, time to wave goodbye! Der Morgenstern takes care of Der Lange because of his knee, or is he making fun of him too, now he has come down? Poor Basti.... stop making fun of  him, he's a cute limpi... eehhh.... sorry, little rock guy!
See you later....
After the show someone took a set list of the stage and we took a picture of it. It's a pity they didn't play Le'or chy', one of our favorites.
After the show some Extremo's joined the audience to have some talk with them and to sign stuff. 
Kay looks less exhausted now and is talking to Dorothea, a German fan we got to know through our site and saw in real life first time today. Chatting with Kay obviously is a lot easier when speaking German! Alex doesn't speak any German, so he's a bit jealous now ;-)
