Richard Z. “Zven” Kruspe (b. 24 June, 1967 as Richard Zven Kruspe or Sven Kruspe) is a German musician, most notable as the founder and lead-guitarist for the German Tanz-Metall (“Dance metal”) band Rammstein. He previously played the guitar in the band Orgasm Death Gimmick. He used to be named “Bernstein”, after his white South African/American ex-wife Caron Bernstein. They were together for five years until separating in 2004 and filing for divorce to be finalized this year 2006, and now his name is back to the original Kruspe again.
Richard was born in Wittenberge, East Germany. He has two older sisters and an older brother. His parents divorced when he was young. His mother remarried, but he did not get along with his stepfather. They moved to the village of Weisen when he was young.
At the age of sixteen, Kruspe and some friends visited Czechoslovakia, where he bought a guitar. He had originally planned to sell it, because they were very expensive and thought he could make a nice profit. However, once he returned to East Germany, a girl at a campground he was staying at asked him to play. He told her that he couldn’t play, but she kept insisting, and Kruspe got mad and started strumming the strings. “The harder I played,” Richard said, “the more excited she got. Something clicked in my head and I realized girls like guys who play guitars.” This got him interested in playing the guitar, and as a result, he began playing every day and night for the next two years.

.... Those tags suck. Come on... MUSIC. Stay focused, people. Honestly, is anyone going to make a station only out of sexy people? I take that back-- I probably just gave someone ideas.

well he is sexy and cute. and hot. and gorgeous. that doesn't take away from his talent and it doesn't mean he's not taken seriously. it just means that he is sexy as hell and adorable and hot and all that. put him or his photo in front of a woman who doesn't even know who rammstein or emigrate is and they're still going to think he's hot and want him. he's cursed like that.
