Hi :) Don’t get me wrong, I still think they are somehow kind people and for sure they love music and their fans, but I can’t help but notice that they are also kind of mean sometimes.
For examples in their interviews they always say they love their fans, but at the same time they somehow criticize us (in a subtle way), because they always say that they are not free to do anything, that people only look at their looks, that everyone wants them just for a quick fuck. About who are they talking about when they say that? About their fans. It’s true that many fans love them for their looks and wants to be their girlfriends, but not all of them. And most of all, they’re always complaining about their life, when I think there is nothing to complain about. Sure, it’s stressful and there are a lot of paparazzis, but the alternative would be to get up at 6am every morning to go working in some factory or else like every normal person, so I think they should thank god everyday for the money they have. When they always complain about these things I think that fame really got to their heads.
One of the last interview the twins released during DSDS was one of the worst interview I’ve ever seen them take. They only complained about their lives and their lack of privacy (which I don’t think it’s so bad, since we don’t know almost anything about the twins since they moved to LA) and practically talked about groupies like they were objects. It was horrible for me to read those kind of things.
And let’s not talk about the fact that Tom dared to say that fans who are so nervous that they can’t immediately turn on their cameras when they ask for photos “make him nervous”. EXCUSE ME TOM KAULITZ? Fans that get emotional when they see you make YOU nervous? Those poor girls wait ALL THEIR FUCKING LIFE to have a picture with you, and you get angry just because they can’t immediately turn on their cameras because their hands are shaking? wtf is that, Tom, seriously?
Also another thing that makes me really sad is their attitude towards fans. Sure, there are days (rarely) where they are very kind and all, but most of the time when I see M&G videos or others, I just see fake smiles and impatience on their faces. It’s like they’re not happy at all to meet the fans. I understand that some fans are scary, but this doesn’t mean they always have to act like we are animals ready to attack them at anytime. I saw some photos a couple of days ago in which a girl during a M&G was giving Bill a present or something and Bill just made the fakest of all smiles, while his bodyguard was standing beside him, almost hugging him from behind, like he was ready to take him away from that fan. I mean, it was a normal M&G and the girl was doing NOTHING, so why are they so cold and need their bodyguards only 1 centimeter away from them?
And Bill has always this fake smile when he is with fans. Or better, almost always. There are times when he laughs or smiles with the fans and you can see that he is REALLY smiling and enjoying that moment with the fans. But most of the time seems like he is there to make you some kind of favour, while they owe EVERYTHING to the fans. everything they are and everything they achieved. So I don’t think we all deserve to be treated like annoying people just because some “fans” are crazy.
And you can already see that in the Zimmer DVD because in one scene there’s Bill and Tom talking about a bodyguard and they say something like “he’s probably keeping them (the fans) back saying “keep calm, keep calm” and they were practically making fun of us like we’re all animals that don’t know how to behave. And even if this is partially true, again I don’t think we all deserve to be treated like that.
And what about the BTK app? They don’t share anything of them with us, just silly things. And their answers - when they answer, which is pretty rare - are empty and meaningless. Again seems like they are only doing us a favour, then why don’t deleting the app?
What about the album? I understand that they don’t want anyone to stole their songs like it happened with Humanoid, but why keep everything so secret? Tom’s posts about how he is working or playing or editing songs only makes me angry because he doesn’t say anything worthy to us. Sometimes I feel like I’m being fooled around by them. I lost count of the “in the studio” posts on the app, and still we don’t know anything about this album. Anything. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problems in waiting even 10 years, but if everything is ready why keep teasing us with those kind of posts instead of giving us SOMETHING WORTHY?
We are taking as fools all the time by them, It’s sad but it’s true. They love us, I’m sure they do, but they are also snobbish towards us and that’s true as well. They think all the fans would scream in their faces or want to fuck them, they think they are some kind of gods that every girl wants in her bed. But that’s not true. We are all human beings, we as well as them.
I love them, I really love them. Loving someone doesn’t mean thinking they are perfect. It means seeing their flaws and accept them. And that’s what I’m doing, I see they are very far from the perfect image they want us to have and they have their dark sides, but I love them anyway.
