Die Toten Hosen at Live 8
Die Toten Hosen is a German punk band from Düsseldorf.
They are one of very few German-language acts who have enjoyed decades-long
mass appeal in Germany; Die Ärzte, Marius Müller-Westernhagen
and Herbert Grönemeyer are pretty much the only other contenders
in this respect.
The members of Die Toten Hosen (literally "The Dead Pants" in
English; "tote Hose" is a German expression meaning "lifeless",
"boring", or "nothing going on") are Campino (Andreas
Frege), Kuddel (Andreas von Holst), Vom (Vom Ritchie), Andi (Andreas Meurer)
and Breiti (Michael Breitkopf). Vom replaced Wölli as the drummer
in 1999 (Wölli's untimely departure from the band was due to injuries
caused by a car accident), who himself had replaced Trini in 1985 and
is still an honorary member of the band; Trini became the band's manager.
The band has existed for over 20 years, and their songs' focus gradually
shifted from funny and nonsensical to serious; the songs from their first
LP were mostly about having fun, but by the end of the 1980s they were
focussing more on political and social issues such as racism.
The debut single "Wir sind bereit" ("We are ready")
was released in 1982, and was followed by their first album, "Opel-Gang",
the next year. In 1988, Die Toten Hosen released the LP "Ein kleines
bisschen Horrorschau". It refers to the movie A Clockwork Orange
based on the book by Anthony Burgess. In 1993, Frank Castorf produced
a German theater version of the book, in which Die Toten Hosen performed
as actors and musicians.
Their 1000th concert was on 28th June 1997, in the Düsseldorfer Rheinstadium,
and was attended by more than 60,000 fans. A Dutch girl died in the crowd;
after various talks with security and police, the band decided to play
soft songs until the end, in order not to panic the crowd. Later the band
produced the song "Alles ist Eins" in memoriam for the Dutch
girl.
Die Toten Hosen have collaborated with numerous other musicians (like
Bad Religion, AC/DC, U2, Rolling Stones); they are also one of the few
German punk bands popular outside of Germany (esp. in South America, Australia,
eastern Europe) other notable bands being Die Ärzte and WIZO.
As longtime fans of the their local soccer team Fortuna Düsseldorf
they have been sponsoring the club from 2001 to 2003.
