Fan Armies in Their Own Words:
Aliens, Echelon, VIPs & More Sound Off

As Billboard’s Fan Army Face-Off continues its fourth round — Tokio Hotel‘s Aliens are battling it out with Thirty Seconds to Mars’ Echelon, and Skillet’s Panheads are taking on BIGBANG’s VIP — we’ve asked prominent members of several fan armies to tell us why their fandom is the best. Here they are, in their own words.

Billboard’s Fan Army Face-Off: The Final Four

Tokio Hotel’s Aliens (In the final four):

Tokio Hotel’s fans, #Aliens, are more than fans, we’re family. Thanks to their music, we’ve built incredible friendships with people all over the world — from the USA to Siberia, Germany to Israel. Their music stopped us in our tracks the moment we heard it and takes our breath away when we get to see Tokio Hotel performing live.

The music and our unity has seen us through the best and worst of times, and we are forever grateful. It is that love that fuels our global communities and we come together for one reason, supporting Tokio Hotel.

Most of us found Tokio Hotel  online. Sharing info via social media built the Aliens strength. When the #Aliens are called on to speak for our band, beware! Our support spreads faster than you can say “Ready, Set, Go!” Someone calls for a fan vote? Hope they added bandwidth because the #Aliens can crash sites. #Aliens don’t fade away, we are here waiting for their return, continuing to support and spread the name of  Tokio Hotel  wherever we can.

The Aliens are of all ages, different cultures, countries and religions, but we are bound together by a language that breaks all barriers: music! Scratch that… TOKIO HOTEL’S MUSIC! — @tokiohotelusa

Tokio Hotel, “Kings Of Suburbia”, 2014

Seven million worldwide-selling recordings, platinum awards in 68 countries and a show in front of 500,000 people at the Eiffel Tower. TV stars and darlings of the tabloid press. Superstars in the truest sense of the word. A band so large that each of their steps by an army of photographers was accompanied. Bill and Tom Kaulitz have exchanged all the anonymity of Los Angeles, a city in which they can not Right away be identified on the road. A metropolis where the paparazzi have other priorities. Ideal conditions to bring their band new life. “When we arrived in the United States, I could No more hear the name Tokio Hotel. I was so tired of everything.”, says Bill. “We had to out To find, what we really wanted from life. For this we had to only back make the music and our career, clear our head and risk a radical new beginning.” “I was not even sure if I really wanted it.” his brother Tom agrees. “The high price we had to pay for our success, the whole madness, I had not imagined my life so. But in Los Angeles we have the most importantly discovered again – our love of music.” The result is Kings of suburbia, the new album by the band. A beacon of songs that lichterloh burn and never fade. This album shows influences of one year of intensive new determination, endless antics in Los Angeles club scene the whole spectrum of the new life of the brothers, the wild nights, who tomorrow. Worry-free and without compromise. Songs such as “feel it all” “Girl Got a Gun”, embody the club atmosphere and breathe through dance nights from every pore, to the gentler, introverted sound of “Run Run Run” (first single track) and “Love Who Loves You Back”, you can experience the Kaulitz twins on the boundaries of their sanity and sobriety. Their knowledge that it is possible to reflect their new life in their songs. A soundtrack to all the Parties who never come to an end. Kings of suburbia bursting with authenticity, because Tokio Hotel the content of their songs live and give their nights in the songs to life. “The producers loved it when I came directly from the clubs in the recording studio to record my vocals.” Bill laughs. “So many songs created. We have captured directly these moments.” “For this album a lot of cigarettes, drinks and nights on it are gone.” Tom added with a knowing smile, “We missed a single Sunrise during the recording sessions.” Kings of suburbia is a defiant and uncompromising statement by Tokio Hotel. Although they worked again with an eclectic selection of producers, including familiar collaborators such as Jost, Rock Mafia and Guy Chambers. In addition, there are unmistakable influences of the hippest DJs from the hottest clubs in Los Angeles. But for the first time in her career, the Kaulitz brothers took over the rudder themselves and loomed the lion’s share of the work in the Studio. Tom felt most visibly in his new role as the driving force and showed his skills this time not only on the guitar, but also on the piano, drums, and synthesizers. “On the most song, my guitar is merely a tool. I see myself more as an ALLROUNDER and producer for the band and not as pure guitarists. We have driven Each other us, to include the perfect album. Every sound on this album is exactly as we wanted it. We have produced the most this time.” The band members of Georg Listing (bass) and Gustav Schäfer (drums) were part of the madness Of course as always. Live instruments with electronic beats were combined to create an album at the end that is different than anything that you have heard of Tokio Hotel so far. They have rediscovered their lust for life – and thus their zest for music – with Kings of suburbia . Far away from the limelight, Far away from all the positive and negative aspects of Fame, they could into a world of simple (and sometimes reckless) pleasure dive, rediscover themselves and thereby created a new world for themselves. “It feels as if we could really enjoy the life here for the first time. We are 15yrs out of school, started out with the band and had more from that moment on no privacy. There were only Tokio HotelBill looks back. “We were chased by our own success and have somehow always tried to escape the whole. We wanted to just only something like a normal life.” Tom adds: “at some point you long after that, to be able to do very simple things. And here I could go with the bike, go to the supermarket or log on my car. That has me damn happy.” Tokio Hotel are not naïve. The laws of the music industry says that you can disappear just for five months – let alone for five years – and then expect, that everything is as before. But the guys are brave enough to put this theory to the test. They have already conquered the world by storm and are ready to do it again. But this time on their terms. “There is clearly a risk.” says Bill. “But this album everything is as we imagine it and it is the first time we can say that honestly so. We have done so as it suited us. No one has written us songs that we need to “sell”. The album is 100 percent. 100% Tokio Hotel. To be able to say it feels damn good!” – original article

Host: The madness goes on!
Bill: Will we get a flower bouquet?!
Host: No, you don’t get one but Gustav said he wants to get a flower bouquet so bad during yesterdays rehearsals and he said ‘I only gonna go to Wetten, dass…? if I receive flowers’. Gustav come down and join us and then you get the flowers. All right then everyone to the couch. Gustav, here you are! These are your flowers! Follow me guys! Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav. I’m really glad you are here! It’s been 5 years….. but no comeback. They just forgot to work.
Benedikt, did you listen to Tokio Hotel in the past? Was it ‘your’ band?
Benedikt Höwedes: Well, I have to be honest, it wasn’t really my music at the beginning. Maybe that’ll change now?
Host: So Bill do you think wow I’m glad to be back! or do you think the madness starts all over again? Today I took a look in front of your hotel and everybody was standing there again.
Bill: Yes well we notice that the madness is starting again. But we also had lots of free time in the past so we’re ready. It feels good!
Tom: Yeah and I was looking forward to Megan Fox! Where is she now?
Host: Well unfortunately she had to leave already. How do you experience everything at the moment? I remember a time when they threw braces on stage when you came. Did that change into dental prosthesis now?
Bill: Oh well I like both, braces or dental prosthesis who cares? But it really feels good and we saw the band with 4 people again a few days ago too. And yeah it just feels good overall and we are really happy with the album and the song and also the feedback is great, better than we expected so we are really satisfied.
Host: What do you get… I mean in L.A. how many time did you spend there Tom?
Tom: Uhm about 4 years I guess, yeah.
Host: When you are in L.A. do you notice all the things that are happening over here in Germany and how the whole music business changes?
Tom: We notice a lot! But the music business changed like crazy. I mean when we started out Facebook just started and wasn’t as big as it is now either, we didn’t take selfies but wrote lots of autographs…
Bill: This time the question really was: Will we even print autograph cards? Because there are many people who don’t want autographs anymore and they only want a selfie and if you say no then they say they want none of these things.
Host: That’s really totally wicked stuff you’re experiencing. You’re talking like grandfathers like ‘in the past everything was different and a lot better!’.
Bill: In the past everything was different!
Host: You two stayed here during that time right?
Georg: Yes we stayed in Magdeburg.
Host: Georg and Gustav stayed in Magdeburg. Did you have contact with each other?
Georg: Yes all the time. We often flew over and visited them and yeah.
Bill: I don’t like you using my golden microphone. Don’t we have one left?
Host: It’s also that tone between you guys. So the friendship lasted through all those years? I mean you guys started out very young.
Gustav: Yes definitely and it’ll stay that way. It’s like our longest relationship.
Host: I once met you guys many years ago, you probably won’t remember because it was just a really brief encounter, but I thought hopefully they’ll get through that madness and hopefully they’ll survive it. Did you think the same way?
Bill: Well I was actually always really confident that we’ll survive it but the break definitely was good for everyone. We just needed a break. We never talked about how long it’ll be so we didn’t have a deadline and also our record label didn’t give us one and we just said we’ll come back once we got some good music. And yeah now it actually lasted longer than we planned. We wanted to release something last year already but we had a run in the studio so we decided to add another year.
Host: And now everything’s going well! Now the band who used to polarize because the hair wasn’t right or something is being played on the radio.
Bill: I still think Georg’s hair sucks. But we heard our song on the radio for the first time in Germany because we were never played on the radio in the past, that only happened in other countries, and on our way to Berlin we really heard it on the radio and we think that’s a great progress.
Host: To be honest that’s really hard to believe right? When such a successful band hears their own song for the first time on the radio after such a long time. Now we want to expand our guests with a man and I guess especially Bill knows him very well, who is also a very big fan of Tokio Hotel. And you also had an experience together where you toured through the night for the wonderful series of ARTE (german TV channel).

– host introduces Wolfgang Joop –
Host: You kind of look like the lost band member of Tokio Hotel.
Joop: More like their grandfather. We also had to wait for each other 4 long years right?
