THIS IS US TOUR: The Typical Boy Bands Won't Exist Anymore

In the mid-90s in Germany a real boy band boom broke out. Even in this country a number of groups emerged, which all but disappeared in the cave. The Backstreet Boys are the only survivors from that time, but they know: "Something like us will not give more." Two members of the Backstreet Boys, Brian and AJ, to explain the phenomenon of boy bands that is really none.


The Backstreet Boys (BSB) reported in the Jako Arena in Bamberg, in the context of their world tour Germany her last concert. Similar to the former glory days of the Americans romped to female fans loaded down with mattresses and blankets in front of the entrance gates and waited in the cold to the inlet. It was those fans who are used today as the very front in the front row to sing along to cheer for their idols, and from the youth want. Just over ten years, had the young women can still chauffeured by their mothers to the shows. Today it is different. Most BOD supporters are now even have a driving license. And instead of your best friend, now has with the friend's boy band in concert.


Also in the Backstreet Boys show that sold for more than 75 million recordings worldwide remains the most successful boy band, has changed a lot in their professional careers. 2006 Kevin Richardson (left 36), the band for personal reasons. The former teen quintet from the 90s Brian Littrell (34), AJ McLean (31), Howie Dorough (36) and Nick Carter (29) now deny four of the show. Private Howie and Brian are both married both have kids. Nick and A.J. are solo.


The highs and lows in the music business have experienced the guys in their now 16-year-old band's career and experience the dark side of fame on her own body. But they are still here. You've survived, the boy band mania of the '90s and bands such as Caught in the Act, N'Sync, East 17, left Worlds Apart and bed and breakfast behind. Even before announcing Take That and the forefathers of all the boy bands, the New Kids On The Block, their comeback came the boys of 2005 after a three year break back into the limelight. They were just a bit sooner than everyone else, or, as they say, "Never Gone" (never been away). But A.J. is sure: "Something like the typical boy bands, there will be no more." "The days of dancing pretty boy, who is singing on stage and behind him four handsome men are, in my opinion, over.The times have changed


Formed when the boy band mogul Lou Pearlman, the band 1993 to one of the most successful teen bands, he used the same components that made the other boy bands have become stars: five attractive young men who can dance and vocal numbers with the hearts of an entire generation of teenage girls . Melt


Well two years have had the hard Backstreet Boys through the training phase of Pearlman and manager Johnny Wright to go before they could enter 1995 for the first time on German soil. The success came almost overnight. With their first single "We've got it going on" they conquered the German charts and it sold around 400,000 copies. This was followed by the heartbreaking ballad "I'll never break your heart." From then on, the hysteria was about the five guys from the U.S. take its course. At that time, people spoke of the inexorable "BOD fever", the first in Germany and then spread into the rest of Europe. In 1996 they released their eponymous album, "Backstreet Boys" who went more than 10 million times on the counter. That same year, the British band Take That announced their separation. Pearlman's plan worked - and the successor of Take That were found. "There was a special time for our group, in which we were very successful," said Brian. "Is a new boy band that wants to provoke in this business again as a boom, these days have a hard time, because the times have changed easily," he says, knowing full well.


Teen bands resolved boy band era-from


They are the teenage bands that have replaced the boy band era. Tokio Hotel and the boys of the Jonas Brothers from the United States are currently the most successful. Both groups sing and play instruments, instead of moving to lasciviously. The fact that the Backstreet Boys were less musical, holds AJ as absurd: "We can also play instruments, but that's not our focus. We see ourselves as entertainers and performers. We stand on the stage to sing and dance. The Jonas Brothers are a new generation, not a boy band but a boy band. " He also said that BSB has never seen a boy band: "We are a vocal harmony group like Shai and The Temptations." The boy band image in Europe has applied to them, because there began at that time the market with a growing teenage bands. It wanted only to sing the Five, "Boyz II Men, The Temptations and the Four Tops, one has never called a boy band. Not even New Edition, Bobby Brown has started where. When we came to Europe, there was this large number of boy bands, The group sounded and looked like that. But we just wanted to just sing and not be a boy band "says Brian. Nevertheless, they have gone down as one of the best known and most successful boy bands in history.


No boy band phenomenon



The phenomenon of boy bands can not explain the Backstreet Boys themselves. Even better - they find that there is none at all. "There are perhaps at the Backstreet Boys are some notable features, such as our distinctive sound or stage shows," is counting on Brian. Maybe Lou Pearlman could explain the phenomenon of boy bands, it does not sat since 2008 because of millions of fraud in prison. Even the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync are with "Big Poppa" have had their problems. Pearlman allegedly paid his charges less than they would have contracted to be sure - so it can be found on various Internet sites. And despite all the differences, the music mogul, they still grateful: "He has supported us financially and we set up. In the beginning, we were certainly grateful to him, but things have been different," says AJ


Three Rules for Success Music Business


Today, Lou Pearlman, the Backstreet Boys no longer need that drives them forward. You know the business is now fairly well and know: "If you want to stay in the business long-term success," they say, "we need three things: patience, passion and joy."


"You have to be with you at peace and know who you are before to get involved in the business, because if it all at some time is over and nobody likes you, then you're hopefully still just as before your career," says Brian.


Except for AJ's drinking problem, and Nick's scandalous relationship with Paris Hilton, the guys seem to be unscathed from the boy band-jungle have fought. They have always remained faithful to the floor and the band. With "This is us," they have released in October, her seventh album. A next is already planned.
