TH Family: Their popularity:(?

Question

I saw this picture today
http://twitpic.com/16t6cd
and couldn't help but wonder....is this the end of their success? remember back in the 2007-2008 period when they played all sold out concerts and there was great fan turnouts? Look at the picture and how less people showed up...not even 1000 people...its like half empty!
I bet they are confused and sad now, because they were so excited to start this tour and promised it to be so spectular so alot of $$$$ and time is put into it.

POLL: what do you think is next for them after humanoid city tour?
if they hadn't changed their style would more fans have remained and showed up at concerts?

Answer 1

Aww my poor babies! First the poor sales of Humanoid, now this!



I think that if they only had 2 concerts in each country and had better promotion, then it wouldn't be like this. Also if they did it during holidays, not term time. I think that they have fans, they're just not able to make it.



I for one would have gone to a concert in my country minus the awesome stage and costumes, just to see them play in jeans and tee shirts on a small stage. They didn't need to spend so much money on music videos and on stages and should have spent more on promotion. Then they could have made tickets cheaper. I hope the slipping management don't mean a dip in their careers =s I'm kinda worried.



But they were so built up for the tour, if sales continue this badly then they may have to cancel concerts and lose fans.

Answer 2

This is really sad... I don't even really know what to say...



A lot of TH fans are I think "giving up" on the band. I just hope the boys are loving every minute of their tour even if there aren't as many fans as before. I just wish that the fans could have given Humanoid a chance. Tom and Bill have a right to change and I think the fans that left for that reason are dumb because they're the same boys they just look different. And ultimately about the album, it's about the message in the music and I think TH still has a strong message in every song on Humanoid...



Poll:

Hopefully come to America :]

yes because the fake fans left... so there would be more fake fans at their concerts

Answer 3

This made my stomach feel empty ( not that i m hungry but you know , that feeling )



I m soooo sad right now



I want Tokio Hotel to be the best band in this world not just for me but for every person living ...

And this is something really depressing ...

this is something really horrible



TH has put so much hard work in it and worked on it more than 2 and half years and has put so much money in it and in interviews they showed so much excitement and told how wonderful this tour gonna be ...I mean we can see it from videos and it must be so annoying and they must be sooo sad that their fans are not showing the support ...



It can be the reason that they had tried new cities ( correct me if i m wrong ) and fans r less there..

or maybe tickets r bit expensive that fans are not able to afford it

or maybe this pic is taken a little bit before the show ..



but as u said that the same amount of people were there even as concerts started then its hell annoying ...don't get me wrong but wanna slap all those fans who could come but didn't .



If somebody gave me a concert ticket or if TH was gonna concert in my country , I would definitely go there..any how !...even if I had to miss my exam ..i would give a fake medical certificate...lolz...anything for TH



But I m also happy that still many people showed up . Not as many as they were like in 2008 or before but still ...



But if they come to my country the hall would be even more empty because there are fans in India but not like 100000... :(( this makes me sad...I want them to come but they will get upset by not seeing many fan faces here :((



Poll: Umm some rest ....no clue...maybe they give us a suprise with something



True fans don't go on their looks...

Answer 4

That is a big change but look it's still quite a bit of people me I loved Humanoid and I think people that said they where Real Fans in the first place when Scream and Scheri came out where just fakes, cause they are not fans now of them, and also you gotta of think of this Germany has some problems like us people with out a lot of money, so that might also be a reason, people are not going to concerts as much I'm sure they are still popular and successful of course they are Tokio Hotel, and they always have a big fan base =)



I hope if they come to the United States and close near me and not far off like in CA or somewheres I'm so going. well try lol.

Answer 5

O.o



..........I have no idea what's going on in Göteborg, but they're all crazy. I mean, they can't be loosing popularity. This is just weird. Do you know how much money their tickets were? B/c if they were wicked expensive, that could be part of the reason?



They should just come on over to the U.S. und we'll have a yoohoo! party!





POLL:

If they lost fans b/c they changed their style, then I don't think they are real fans. There are NO bands that are actually good that keep the exact same sound for ever single album - I don't even think it's possible right?

Answer 6

I heard it was an extremely big venue and those weren't all the fans they were in another spot and that was completely filled. Hmmm maybe I can find the article. Sorry I can't :\

But anyways there might have been less fans but they still have ALOT of fans :D



Poll:

USA TOUR :D

No I don't think its true, fans come and go.

Answer 7

It was 30 minutes before the show right? Even if the halls were empty i'm quite sure people would have started to file in 10 minutes before? Thats what happened at the 2 concerts i've been too...they were empty & then a few minutes before people came flooding in.



But hey, it might be because of the change. Who knows. I'm sure the guys are just grateful people came to see them :]





Poll: I have no idea :\

Again, i have no clue. They might have but then again they might not have gained the fans they have now.

Answer 8

yeah ive seen photos and that too its heart breaking to see/read i think they needa get promotion out coz this is probs why the turnoun outs are bad. but i hope things get better i feel so bad for the guys like you said alotta money went into this but no many people are going. i would've gone if i could but they're never gonna come here. i hope this isnt the end of their sucess. even if it is imma still be a fan, forever! just like busted, i still love them and they broke up in 2005. i agree 2008 was probs their peak of success.



Poll: i have no clue. probs america. never here though.

yeah probs but everyone changes i think its fair enough to say their styles shouldnt effect it. i know alot of fans only liked them coz they were "hot" im in it for the music even if they're good looking thats just a bonus!

well even if their sucess plummets im here forever.

Answer 9

Double :(

this makes me sad.



I think after the Humanoid cd came out a lot of people didn't give it a chance "/ even though some has changed they're still Tokio Hotel and they did what made them happy and what they thought was right. idk I mean everyone changes. I know I've changed a lot from few years back (personal experience) back few years I changed and I know a lot of people didn't like it. I mean there's always gonna be people who don't like something and like it right?



Poll: I think they're still gonna be successful but I think right now this is the peak of their success but doesn't matter what happens I'll always be a fan. even if someday TH isn't my favourite band anymore (which will probably never happen :P) I'm always gonna like them and they'll always be a HUGE part of my life. they've just impacted my life so much that I could NEVER forget them.

Answer 10

Damn, that's sad. Well, I don't like the new changes...just saying.

I would LOVE to go to a old TH concert when Bill had a lion mane

and Tom had dreads and was blonde. And didn't change their

sound to something more techno. I'm being straight up honest.

And Bill is so "girly" now... I feel sorry for them though....



Poll: They would probably work on a new album.

Answer 11

im sorry but screw the fans who didnt like Humanoid!!! i love it!!! wow just shows you that they werent real fans i feel soooooooo bad for the boys!!!!!

I love the boys and when they come to LA im soooooo going to their concert!! haha ill probably go to it 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times!!!

god that is soooooo messed up

poll: hopefully they will make more smexy music i mean they still have a strong fan base

ITS STUPid that people are deciding that they dont like them anymore cuz they changed their style...okay yeah so what

they are still the same smexy boys!!! people arent used to change so they look down on it



psh thats soo ****** up -_-







p.s- agree with everyhting karylle said

she is G!!!!

Answer 12

HAHAHAHA!!! No, I don't give a damn, and a lot of bands have been together much longer than them and still rock (well, TH was pretty much still-born from the start).

Answer 13

Omg i am crying now that is so sad!!

OMG I HOPE THEY DON'T END T_T I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
