NEWS:Tokio Hotel in Vienna- There was once a pop phenomenon

Rule of law has become so feared some people before the concert of German pop band Tokio Hotel on Tuesday evening in the Wiener Stadthalle. Although some crazy things which bestowed the four musicians from Magdeburg and its fans in the past the headlines, still exist. From the former hype was poorly attended at the concert to feel hardly anything. For the future of the four pop-exotics that is perhaps just as well ...

The home of a motorist club via press release predicted traffic apocalypse at the Town Hall by "16,000 Tokio Hotel fans, who without looking or to pay attention to traffic lights suddenly come on the road are," came on Tuesday evening, not a natural.

First, because of the 16,000 fans who might have fit into the town hall, only around one quarter went to the concert. And partly because most were already there when the driver had not yet gone on the way home. Yes, sometimes looked after the bar had not even been on the way to the office, there was the little park in front of City Hall already besieged by teenagers. A handful härtestgesottener TH fans had even arrived on Monday. Nearly one hundred kids took advantage of it the night before the concert, the newly launched Easter holidays for a small tent camp in front of City Hall. The police gave generously to the organizers at bay.

A colorful sea of young people stood obediently lined up in front of the hall. A couple dressed in dark makeup and dark, a few aufgebrezelt as if it were the Opera Ball. Shortly before the concert, as then all the fans, a few dozen intrepid twenty-somethings on clique-trip and the very youngest had me skeptical about their bruised-looking escorts through the boundary fences to the survivors but offered a rather poor image. lay between the poles ankle of filth - almost as if Mom every konzertfertigen offspring when going out with the words "Go, Carry the down still fast," a bag of manure pressed into his hand and would have the detour to the garbage island then it was too far. The sweaters and blankets were lying after all their customers quickly.

"Garbage" would be for most music consumers probably the right keyword in conjunction with a concert of Tokio Hotel. From music lovers who like organic can be ignored or hated, more feared by parents, there's really only one target group, the Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Gustav Schäfer and Georg Listing: teenagers who have not heard much out of MTV in the world. And maybe even a reporter, because the young exotics make just a grateful subject. While the four members of the pop band in 2005 discovered the camera flashes were heading onto adulthood and their money now to invest in cars that can steer them well, but the fans will mitaltern not go away. 14 plus is the German-speaking still the average age of the first to the thirtieth series. Behind dad comes with his elementary school daughter along with her two friends - and the Twen-clique, the question arises slowly, whether the euro would have been 42 for the ticket and a trip to a karaoke bar not yet created better.

This is the "Welcome to Humanoid City" tour raised more professional than anything Tokio Hotel have been delivered. Not only that, the four musicians are traveling in two tour buses in which they are two mini-apartments are furnished with real beds and a bathroom. The monstrous stage with platforms, stairs, catwalks, fire and Konfettispuckern and a myriad of lights and elements of surprise from the Harley to the burning wing plays little piece, the only known by the likes of Rammstein or KISS. And the sound can be heard. If the ranks in the town hall not be imposed and the general admission area in front of and behind the Wavebreaker, who acted on this evening rather than dust-catcher, was half empty, one would actually believe, it would go here for anything.

Item 20 clock, the giant ball in the middle stage developsand releases the two Gitarreros and drummer Gustav, then with his podium in more than four meters high rises. Bill Kaulitz, hair and style with zurückgegeltem knochenenger leather wrap brand gap, including "Dune, the desert planet" comes as the last of the light. A keyboard droned, where no key man on the stage, and with Kaulitz sings with half a church choir, which is of course also to be seen anywhere. Forget it! Even Coldplay play things from a band. 2010, it's almost normal for pop bands in the live operation is no longer spontaneous chorus play the last two can. Such a computer-long vehicle has just rare pleasure jamming again. For instance, while Chris Martin but the benefits of freedom to animate the audience, are the four TH-guys - careful with the exception of front man - again poses and more shuffling around. That they might otherwise, we show only a short unplugged deposit. Tom Kaulitz plays without Brachialverzerrer crystal clear notes and his brother Bill discovered with joy that it makes Popp and Tsss life and comes in the voice, if we determine in sounds close to the mike goes.

Blessed are the fans wallow in heartbreak-together when the band strikes up a cuddly song. Around the outsider-ness turns the bulk of the new songs from the third album "Humanoid", which they did not make it to Austria for the first time in the Top 5. Run away with me break out here, run because of it, let it please you, him and the other as anything. You can feel like the lyrics cause the fans reglerechte self-confidence and power surges. Although it may sound for adolescent adults, or simply banal - does the music. Just as with the Heavy Metal fans clench their fists, dancing barefoot Ringelreia disciples reggae and jazz lovers snapping his fingers. Here is just screamed. Scream as loud as about 4,000 fans just can ...

After a half hour, when the last teen girl freaks when adding and Twen-clique twice the ticket price has interpreted for beer, locks the Humanoid City again. The band disappears in the ball to fold, the light goes on, the screaming stops and all are good outside, where the town halls-cleaning squad has already removed all traces of the past hours and nights. By hype five years after the first Tokyo hotel boom in this moment to not feel much. Next time the fans are perhaps only half a day before the concert. And some are Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Gustav Schäfer and Georg Listing be four members of a band that was once a teen phenomenon and now must earn normal with (good) music rolls. But do not worry, the next traffic apocalypse will come ...
