He often began concerts with the sentence "Today is the day that breaks down the system - we celebrate this day ." In July 1989, the band's appearance permission was withdrawn after Joswig had called just before on the Brandenburger Rocknacht a minute's silence for the victims of the massacre on Tiananmen Square.
