Harry Jeske was quickly replaced by Peter "Bimbo" Rasym (as in "bimbo", "kid" in Italian, not the English meaning). The new lineup recorded "Wilder Frieden" (Crazy Peace) in 1999, which showed the influence of new, hard-edged German bands, particularly Rammstein (themselves Puhdys fans); the song "Wut will nicht sterben" featured Rammstein singer Till Lindemann and a solo by Rammstein guitarist Richard Kruspe. The Puhdys sold out the 23,000-seat Waldbühne in (western) Berlin for their 3000th concert, which was also their 30th anniversary concert, and was released as a DVD. Birr, Meyer, and Hertrampf made an appearance in the TV film "Comeback für Freddy Baker" starring Mario Adorf. The band played at a millennium concert on Berlin's Alexanderplatz.
