Hard to believe. It is already 15 years ago, the Backstreet Boys in Germany, their first single "We've got it going on," brought out, and thus started their international career. Hits like "Quit playing games" could be a whole generation of girls are languishing. Today, AJ, Nick, Howie and Brian are adults who have experienced ups and downs of show business and have now finally arrived, as revealed in SUPERillu.de-interview - quite exceptionally - in the community shower of the Berlin "Eisbären" took place ... By Caroline Danz
Unusual Meeting
The dressing room of the Berlin ice hockey team, "polar bears" in the 02 World: A place where there is big mess after every game: At 30 square crowd more than 20 tough guys. It stinks like Puma in the cage, sweat-soaked jerseys are on the benches and towels are carelessly fired at the corners. Today, the locker is empty. There is backlash Monday. Instead of a brutal sport, there's this time, gentle tones. The Backstreet Boys have announced their participation. In the capital, they play their last concert in Germany of its "This is us"-Tour.
Fooling around on the men's
The locker - this time it is converted to the interview location. Here I meet up with AJ and Brian. The community shower our photographer Michael trader has built up a makeshift photo studio. For the two Backstreet Boys no problem. "Is it something different," says AJ, while Brian uses the unusual environment to fooling around. For our photographer, he presents himself at the urinal and acts as if he'd do a little urgent business. The Backstreet Boys - totally relaxed and uncomplicated
Vocal inlay in the shower
At the same time I am sitting with AJ is already provided to the chairs in the community shower. "The acoustics are great! Perfect for singing," he grins and starts to hum. Brian arrives and warbles a ballad in front of his band mates, I do not know. "Sounds great!" I say. "Got the song 'I never heard of. Is it new?" Brian nodded, "Yes, I know him have just been written. There must be filed a bit off." It even sounded as if the song would have a permanent place on the current record "This is us." With their seventh studio album, the Backstreet Boys return back to their origin: R'n'B and pop with catchy melodies. "We wanted to make dance music again, to which our fans can do the right party."
Fans of the first hour
That they owe their success above all their loyal followers, "good old Germany" - the forgotten AJ, Brian, Howie and Nick never. For her international career took off, the Backstreet Boys in 1995 here in Germany. What is in their homeland, the United States, who then had no ear, was able to inspire this country almost every girl from ten years ago. "Germany is like our second home," said AJ. "Everything started from here, the fans of the first hour." In no time the whole of Europe was in the Backstreet Boys fever. The guys from the South won an award after another boy band broke all records and then donated worldwide hormonal confusion among teenage girls.
Sex, Drugs, Rock'n'Roll and countless separation rumors
But, as so often in such picture-book career, followed by the mega-high for the low case. The life in the tough music business took its toll. Millennium AJ made his alcohol and drug addiction in public. He went into a rehab center, the band broke off the current tour. "I had to with my problems go to the press," said AJ. "I want to help others, that they are not the same as happened to me." The separation was fueled rumors that brings out as the youngest band member Nick 2002, his first solo album.
Brian tried it four years later with a music career without his fellow Backstreet Boys. Nevertheless, the band held together. Until the summer of 2006. Kevin announced the phasing out of the boy band. The Backstreet Boys were only four. "A huge shock," recalls Brian. "He initiated us during our tour in his plans. We were stunned." A new member was not eligible. The rest of the Backstreet Boys went into further outnumbered - with success. Overall, for the past 15 years, over 100 million sold Backstreet Boys on the record store counters in the world. Even the four of them are successful. But an appearance in Originalbestezung is not excluded. "Kevin can come back whenever he wants," says AJ. "We are still friends." And Brian said: "Finally, he is also my cousin. We have only met last in Tokyo. He is going great."
Finally arrived
After 15 years of history of success is hard to miss: The Backstreet Boys are doing well. That means her album "This is us," is not accidental. "We are now completely well, we are being themselves. We must not pretend," said AJ. Hide friends who postpone their own needs - the need to Four not now. Howie and Brian are married and happy family men. Nick can honestly say that he is forgiven and AJ enjoys his single life. "We have gone through thick and thin, see ourselves as good as ever," says Brian.
Still raining Stofftierchen
The Backstreet Boys have grown up. And their fans? Is not the hysteria of the boy band-wedding over? "Absolutely not," says AJ, "at our concerts is still as much as ever screamed. Even stuffed animals to fly onto the stage." "Really?" I asked skeptically. "Our fans have grown up with us, but the enthusiasm has not diminished," explains Brian. Entirely wrong, the two have not. An hour later, actually flying stuffed animals on stage. It's a bit like before. For two hours we can again be a teenager and uninhibited mitträller Schmacht the songs. It is screamed and sang what it's worth. Now it seems almost unreal that I was able to meet AJ and Brian, especially in the community shower for one of my funniest interviews.
