4. BTW, thanks to YouTube's quick video uploads, I know Die Toten Hosen were back

to their old punk rock style earlier today (6/3), at the Rock Am Ring music festival, when they were surprise guests of a slightly-younger-but-still-middle-aged punk rock band, the Donots.

See the video below, with Toten Hosen running onto the stage at about 25:30 and singing their 1988 punk rock hit "Hier Kommt Alex." This was uploaded to YouTube 9 hours ago.





Editing to link to a German news site's article about the festival; this is Google's translation:

With a goosebumps moment is Germany's largest music festival Rock am Ring Started on Friday: The Ibbenbüren band "Donots" play the classic "Hier kommt Alex" after a grandiose debut at the opening concert as a tribute to the Toten Hosen – and suddenly the Düsseldorf punk rockers themselves are on stage and rock along. Huge cheers erupt, the audience sings along loudly to every line. In addition to the joy of the surprise guests from Düsseldorf, the ring rockers resonate in every line: Finally festival again, finally open-air concerts again, finally rock on the ring again.
