But all in all, it felt much more like “family”. Years ago, there were surely also some fans that kept separate from the rest. While in my early fan days, I wanted to meet EVERY other Kaizers fans out there, I’ve gotten less and less interested in talking to fourteen-year-olds, I tend to look down on fans that tour for festival shows (why don’t you wait for REAL concerts?!), and I just don’t understand fans that queue hours before a show.
I’m sure I’m just as much to blame as everyone else.
And just to make that clear right away, I’m not putting the blame on anyone. The number of fans grew so much that there was just no way to have one family. While there was one group of “Kaizer fans” in the past, it turned more and more into one faction here, one faction there, oldtimers, newbies, Hjerteknuser fans, “everything was better in 2001” fans, … It’s awesome to hear that this worked out so well for Kaizers and they did not break apart in the end.īut it also got me thinking … From a fan perspective, looking back now, I have the feeling that while the bonds in the band apparently grew stronger, the “fan community”, the huge Kaizer family, started falling apart. I found that really interesting, because (in a completely different context) I’ve experienced that once an “end” is decided, everything kind of falls apart, because there is no need to fix things and keep them together anymore. In one scene in the movie, Helge mentions that towards the end of Kaizers, in the last months and weeks, the friendship and the bonds between the members grew stronger. So it is, without a doubt, a must-see for Kaizer fans. OF COURSE I liked it, since it is about Kaizers, and it actually contains new interviews and both old and new unseen footage. I really liked it – but then, I don’t think I can really judge it. It’s about – surprise surprise! -: Kaizers Orchestra. This post, however, is not about any of those topics. I should pick it up again, and – maybe I will. Nope, I wasn’t much into blogging lately. Or to finally blog about my “Concerts 2014”. Well, I guess it’s about time to write a bit about my move to Norway.
What? A blog post? Here, on this site? 😮
