And those I can meet without organized events as well.
Finding people to meet up with for Kaizers events is getting harder and harder, and while years ago, I was looking forward to every concert because I knew that – even without arranging anything – I would meet awesome fellow fans, I now hardly care anymore because there are only very few of those people left. 😉 In any case, it’s a fact that for me (other fans might be at different stages in their fandom, of course) the time of one big Kaizers family is over. OK, I might be getting a bit melodramatic now. Should I congratulate you now? Because you’re over the stupidities of your youth? Or should I rather pity you because it seems you don’t see that even though this part of your life is over, we were part of something huge and we should keep it in our hearts? Just a short while ago I was told “well, SOME of us are over Kaizers now …” Hmm. I just hope that people will remember the times we had, instead of ridiculing them. That’s totally fine, everybody got their own reasons for that. Lots of people “dropped out” of the Kaizers universe since then. But the good times were back then, long before Violeta. Lots of great memories – and I feel that years from now, ALL my Kaizers memories will be from the old days. I met one of the old DMA family at the screening yesterday, and while we couldn’t even remember the other’s name, we remembered “the old days” right away. 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. There is nothing like seeing the procession.What? A blog post? Here, on this site? 😮 We grow stronger and stronger with each day,Īs you see folk converting to a new religion.
(Please note I may have lost some of the nuances, as I do not speak the original language) General CommentAn attempt at improving the translation: When you see people converting to another religion.Īnd for those who don't believe in me today. 'Cause everyone wants to be a part of the successĪs long as there are money, in the picture My english isn't great, but it has to be better than any translation from Google Translate or similar services. I also used brackets to display both the direct translation and what I see as the better sounding translation, seperated by a vertical bar. However, I see it as meaning that they react negativly. I used brackets around the word "negativly" as the direct translation would be "some people react". General CommentHere is a rough translation of the lyrics.
