At first glance, you think that it departed for a tour, a new wave of hysteria has been generated, as will the group is intact. They are there around the room. First arrived last Wednesday, with their camp equipment. A squadron of fans who arrived crescendo with every intention of being first in line for the eyes of Bill Kaulitz and his henchmen. Yesterday evening, there are fifty-five tents and a hundred people. It is very difficult because you have a big responsibility as a human, said Aurelian Binder, director of Zenith de Lille. They warned the police and the prefecture so that young people are framed in the best conditions. Patrols are established every two hours.
They come from everywhere. Organized according to concert dates. Each other to meet vital needs. Throw sharp quiz on training to kill waiting. And, more surprisingly, truant with the blessing of parents. Why they did not they decide to control this Tokiomania who turns the head of the working girls? "It is totally irresponsible on their part to leave based solely on minor roads in France and Europe. It is downtown, there may be anything, "protests Aurélien Binder.
Nevertheless, this diehard attitude proves to be the tree that hides the forest. The popularity of Tokio Hotel is in freefall. At last count, 3 600 tickets sold. Far from the flood of October 2007 where the tickets were pulled at the speed of lightning. Finding identical to the disks. Only 70 000 copies for the latest album Humanoid versus 215 000 for Zimmer 483. A pleasure already outdated to paraphrase Charles Aznavour?
"The fan has evolved, it went on. Culturally and emotionally, it comes and goes at that age. But it is surprising that the figures have dropped as much. No date is complete and Bercy province will not completely full, "says Guénaël Geay, international marketing director at Polydor. At the age of zapping nervousness and urgency futile teens change their group as wardrobe. This is the age where anything is possible. They throw to the winds what was previously adored. Because he must stick to the current fashion. Everything is handled on the ground of feeling, of feeling, delirium, the look of the image. And especially the ephemeral fad.
Girls who vanished at the slightest appearance of the group, which covered their bedroom posters, who collected frantically every object in the image of the training, have found other shoes to their feet. They now fill their iPod songs from Lady Gaga or the Black Eyed Peas. Even the new look of the hair singer Bill Kaulitz has not had its desired effect to enhance the image of the group. He had confused the outlet with the hair dryer features a crest of hen. "Keep in mind that Tokio Hotel is an extraordinary case," said Guénaël Geay. What happened is exceptional because it was the first German band to be exported this way.
He said that the show is visually stunning with a huge stage structure, stairs, walkways and pyrotechnics. Perhaps the ultimate fireworks before swimming in the murky waters of almost nothing.
