As most of you know I’m currently in the middle of a very long tour with my family in Rammstein. in my 16 years of touring, this is the longest stretch of time I have ever been away from home, my family, and all that is familiar to me… I suppose over those years its become more familiar for me to be away from home than there. As I get older this is something that is certainly beginning to change within me. it’s funny how much shorter life seems the older you get. I can only imagine how short it will have seemed once i’m on my deathbed. I think of this more often with age. possibly a positive side effect of my sobriety as well. ever consider that one day you will be minutes away from leaving your body and will be forced to look back on your life as a whole. I imagine a lot of us may have many regrets of time and energy wasted in ways that were completely trivial and pointless to our lives, the lives of our loved ones, and to this planet as a whole. what will our legacy be? as individuals, as family members, as parents, as members of society, and even as a species…. at times it doesn’t seem to be going in a positive direction, but you know what? each and everyone of us has the power to change that inside of ourselves. I have had a tumultuous life to say the least. lots of highs, lots of lows. I consider myself very lucky to be alive and healthy, and also to have my wits about me in a way now that I never have before in my life, when I was wasting it. All that being said, I’m very careful and considerate with what I spend my time and energy on these days, and its something that I am hard pressed to stay vigilant on for the rest of my life. 6 days after I return home from this Rammstein tour, I head to L.A. to begin rehearsals with my band Aesthetic Perfection for our subsequent 6 week US tour. I’m very sad that I won’t have more time at home, but I am looking forward to being back with my dudes Daniel Graves and Elliott Berlin who I am eternally grateful to have in my life and to play some of my favorite songs on the planet with, as well as all the friends and fans who will come out to support us and make a party with us each night. to say that playing in this band has been a positive move and experience for me would be an understatement. I honestly feel a magic and innocence while i’m on stage with these guys that is unparalleled to anything that i’ve experienced before. We have the best vibes on and off stage, and its just such a treat to get to do this and be out there with these guys. It’s so fulfilling and rewarding to be able to say with full confidence that you are doing exactly what you want to do with your life and that you are happy. Because if you are not happy, what is it all worth? in my opinion, nothing. I’d like to invite everyone to come out and celebrate life with some great songs and kick ass musical performances on this run. The European tour that we completed a couple of months ago was just amazing and we are all looking forward to bringing it back home this fall. Let me know which shows you are gonna be at below, and if you want an extra special hang before the show, click on the I will post in the comments below and grab some VIP “Speed Dating with Aesthetic Perfection” passes and come play Pictionary and do shots of sparkling water with us. diapers included in price of admission!

Today marks 3 years of sobriety for me. Forever grateful for my incredible relationship with Emma Offen who also happens to be sober for the same amount of time this month. It’s pretty amazing to have a relationship where you treat each other with respect and are honest and have great communication. Never have I felt so loved and appreciated, nor like I even deserved to feel that way. But thanks to my hard work I now have a respect and love for myself, which means I am capable of loving and respecting other people as well. Emma, thank you for being my person and my perfect partner. Universe thank you for teaching me the lessons that I needed to face to help me to grow into the person i am today, and *LOVE* thank you for always having my back no matter what. ✌🏼🌞

Beyond Flying Dicks and Unicorns: Interview with Musician Joe Letz

🎉

I guess i can finally let the cat out of the bag. I just handed in my final pitch to a very large publishing house for my very first book “There’s More Than One Way to Wipe”. This book has been years in the making, I haven’t told anyone about it, but if I’ve ever had a conversation with you about how you wipe your bottom after you unleash your beast(s), Now you know why. Release forms will be sent out shortly, if you do not wish to be named in my book, don’t worry, I will change the last letter of your middle name. A special thanks to all the “stand up” & “front” wipers in bands and crew on the Into the Black tour, as the content that i collected from you surely put this over the edge of normal bathroom habits to more of a “seeing into the mind of a serial killer” type of memoir. My publishers are very excited, as am I. I owe you all lunch. Thanks for a great tour! Enjoy your first wipe at home, and please think of me! 💩 love you all. Love Joey.

Last show tonight in Prague! What a great tour! #aestheticperfection #joeletz #danielgraves #elliotberlin #elliotisswedish #emigrate #rammstein #ameliaarsenic #priest #prague #wildnights #johnmellencamp

Last night me and my friend Amelia Arsenic sculpted a “boot dick” out of about 30 sticks of butter. A bunch of people from the tour joined in by the end. We live streamed it over at the Aesthetic Perfection Facebook page and it’s still up if anyone wants to check it out. You may learn some stuff Amelia went to sculpting school in Sydney!!! #aestheticperfection #ameliaarsenic #joeletz #elliotisswedish #danielgraves

Warming up our throats for Dresden! See ya in a few minutes!!! #weenie #aestheticperfection #elliotsweenie #isalittlesmelly #alittlebit #butthatsokay 🤷🏻‍♀️

Another Sold out show in Vienna last night! Thank you! Here is our challenge to our friends in @officiallordofthelost though the stage was weird and we couldn’t get the best angle without the lights completely fucking up the picture, but we practiced this pose for about 4 hours before the show and even went to the gym and took steroids to be able to do it. So I couldn’t not post it. #lotlapcrowdpicdanceoff #aestheticperfection #joeletz #danielgraves #elliotberlin #elliotisswedish #emigrate #rammstein #vienna #austria #soldout
